“Mary is a delight! She is extremely easy to work with, and very thorough! She even watered my garden for me everyday. I already rebooked my next visit with her when we leave again at the end of the year. Thank you, Mary!! :) :)”
“Savannah was amazing with our three cats, going above and beyond at every turn. Before our trip she came by and spent some time to get to know our babies and let them get comfortable with her. During her visits she gave each of them the personalized attention they needed - be it play, cuddles, or quiet time away from their brothers - so that we returned to happy cats. The food and water were full on return, the litter box clean, Savannah even went above and beyond and swept up the litter outside their box. Will absolutely be calling on Savannah for our next trip - she’s the cat foster mom we never knew we needed.”
About: I’ve owned an array of animals throughout my life, both with my family and on my own! I have the most experience with dogs and cats, having watched both for family and friends. As the owner of an anxious, reactive pup, I am equipped to handle all your pets needs! I currently work part-time as a makeup artist at Sephora Friday-Sunday, typically 11am-7pm. Given the nature of my job I have quite a flexible schedule! I treat every pet like they are my own! Any instructions you leave will be followed to t and plenty of updates will be given (including pictures of course!)
“I booked Sarah through Rover to check in on my pets while I was on vacation, and she was amazing! She visited daily, walked Yogi three times a day, and made sure Luna was happy and cared for. I loved getting picture updates, and she contacted me right away with any concerns. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were well cared for, which let me really enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was a kid. Neighbors and family friends have always entrusted me to care for their fur babies. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and ferrets. I currently work as a veterinary technician and have both emergency and general practice experience, so I am more than comfortable caring for animals. I am currently a full time Veterinary Technician. I work a normal 9-5pm schedule taking care of animals. I am available on weekends after 1:30pm if I am scheduled to work and I am more than happy to care for your pet after my normal working hours. Caring for pets in a clients home is preferred as I live in a little apartment, so space is limited. I will clean up after your pet, and follow instructions that are left for me by the owner. I am experienced with administering oral and injectable, so I feel comfortable administering insulin to pets if needed. Due to my emergency experience I am comfortable caring for sick or elderly pets!
“Kelsey was amazing. She helped us on super short notice and was able to get my kitten who is afraid of all strangers to come out and play!! It really made me so happy and I hope to work with her again sometime!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
About: I have been working in animal care for the last 10 years between animal shelters and boarding facilities. I can provide references. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, I have experience working with dogs and cats of all temperaments and also have knowledge in administering medications and insulin if needed. I am currently open. I can provide walks, drop ins, baths, nails, transport to and from daycare, whatever is needed! My routine is pretty set once I have a good schedule going! I can follow any instructions left by the client. I am very committed to making sure your pet stays happy and healthy in the time they spend with me.
“The 1st time I had to leave my cats, Pookie and Ziggy, with a Pet-Sitter. Sandy was PROFESSIONAL, PUNCTUAL, and stayed and played with my Furbabies. Sandy sent me pictures each day, which put my mind at ease. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sandy!!! I will use her again!!!😻😻😻”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach—treating every pet like my own, with dedicated attention, consistent communication, and a deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs and personality. I work from home all week and have a pretty short working schedule. I have lots of time at home to make sure each pet has the best care they need while the owner is out. Been doing it for so long and it's the best job ever! I have a fenced yard with lots of space, i live in a home in a mixed suburban neighborhood and there's lots of walking space around the block, dog park 5 min away and great space at home (no kids, just my wife)

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life. I am very good with animals! I am happy to feed and play with your pet! I also have experience caring for disabled and aging pets and am able to administer any needed medication! I currently work on the week days only. So my weekends are completely free to play and take care of your pet! I will be sure to give them lots of love and attention! I will treat your pet like my own and ensure their happiness and safety! I also follow any rules, expectations, or instructions you have given me!
“Ja’Vae was a great sitter to work with! She was quick to communicate, very flexible, and totally understanding. She sent lots of photos and ensured my pet would be in good hands for the week. I came home to both a happy cat and a very clean apartment. Thank you so much!”
“Theresa was wonderful and attentive and communicative. It made me feel at ease to know that my cats were in good hands. She clearly loves animals and is knowledgeable about pet care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of two large breed dogs for over a year. I brought them into my home when they were puppies, and cared for them as they grew into adult dogs. For dog walking, I am able to walk one or two dogs at one time. When walking my own dogs, sometimes I would like to go for a little run just to make sure the pups get the exercise they need. For dog sitting, I like to let the pup(s) out for plenty of bathroom breaks. I will do everything I can to ensure that your pet is well-taken care of. I will be sure to provide a good amount of playtime for your pet to make sure he or she is having a good time! I'm currently working a shift evening schedule on Thursday-Saturday, so I have plenty of time during the traditional work week to look after your pets! I have a fenced yard and would love to spend time with your dog or cat! I would love to play games with your pet, take them on walks, and will be incredibly watchful over them to make sure they don't get into trouble.
About: Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me. for as long as i can remember, i’ve wanted to take care of animals in some fashion. Rover is the perfect way to do that while i’m still in college! I work part time at Getgo on south pike rd, while also going to school full time for Psychology. I’ll be able to spend time with your fur baby after work, after school, and in my free time thursday - saturday. we have two golden retrievers who are the sweetest boys around. we have a front and back yard, neither are fenced in due to their size.
About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up, my family always had six or more dogs at a time, ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures and administering medication, as well as handling a dog-reactive dog, so I’m very attentive to my surroundings and each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities and will treat your pets like my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays in your home and can work around your pet’s normal routine. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care. I also have experience with reactive dogs and am very mindful of safety and surroundings during walks.
“Joselle was a great pet sitter. She not only cared for our large senior dog, she also took care of our daughter’s 9 week old puppy. She kept in touch with us & was very attentive. Will definitely book her again”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Plum
Yasmeen was wonderful with my senior rabbit! Truffle is very shy with new people but I loved seeing through the photos and notes that Truffle got more and more comfortable with and excited to see Yasmeen each day. She even crawled up into her lap for treats which is a HUGE sign of trust for Truffle! During our meet and greet, Yasmeen made sure that she understood Truffle’s medication and how she liked it to be given. I’ve never used Rover and was worried I wouldn’t find someone who knows rabbits. But after meeting Yasmeen I wasn’t worried at all that she would be a good sitter for Truffle while I was gone. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about Truffle and that peace of mind is everything. I’ll definitely be booking with Yasmeen again!
This is the second time Laurel has watched our cats for us, and as long as she’s available, she’s who we will always go to! Laurel clearly cares for our animals when we’re away, and does the extra little things too. She peeped that we had a thirsty plant and gave it some water during her check in too!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
