“Raquelle is fantastic very sweet and comfortable with my big babies she also has a Great Dane so that makes me feel so much better they are a breed of their own. Would recommend her in a heartbeat and will be using her again”


“Jamie went above what I asked and my cat was super happy when I came home! Will definitely be rebooking in the future!! This was my first time using rover and I was very anxious but Jamie was great and I had nothing to worry about.”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals since the beginning of my middle school years. I got my first puppy when I was 11, and was able to do many months of research to make sure my puppy was able to get the proper training to learn the necessary commands and some tricks. I’ve learned patience and consistency not inly with but my other animals as well. As a part-time worker, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Daily, I am already engaging in walks, and having a pet companion can make it much more exciting! I prefer to keep dogs within their own environments in order to bring them the most comfort as possible. By being in their own home routines can be enforced within the comfort of their own homes

“Absolutely awesome. Pauline's above and beyond. I have 2 dogs, one of them a new 4 month puppy. Paul made sure he went before he left and that everyone was supremely taken care of. No definitely recommend him.”


“Mackenzie is a sweetheart!! She showed up on time & asked all the questions that were necessary to make sure she took the very best care of my pups 🥹🥰 they absolutely loved her visit & 1000% will be using her again! 🖤🩶”


About: I have volunteered for many years at animal shelters and I am also an activity tech at a pet resort and interact with all types of dogs and have been there for 10 years I am working part time only and love to play with and walk dogs . I walk my dog several times a day and I am very in tune to his needs I have a fenced in yard and have large rooms which a dog could stay in if needed to be separated and would have no problem crating if necessary. My dog is extremely social and loves other dogs but I would separate when not home just to be cautious

“Shelby was amazing! She played with our dogs while she was there and gave them lots of love. She also sent us pictures of our very happy furbabies. She was punctual, friendly, had great communication and our pups loved her. Definitely will rebook.”


“Hope was nothing short of amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure our two cars were safe and sound while we were out of town. I could not recommend Hope and the Rover service more. We are extremely satisfied with this service!”


“Holly continues to be awesome and has been caring for my dad's cats for a few months now, ever since he moved into a nursing home. She is super reliable and a huge help to us.”



“Amanda provided drop-in visits to feed my 2 kitties over 3-week long period. She made time to get to know my cats during meet-and-greet. She was flexible and showed up every week on time to feed my cats, clean their litter box and also take out trash. She is great at communicating quickly and positively. Will hire her again!”


“I had the utmost positive experience by having Brandon looking after Midnight. He provided daily check-ins and treated Midnight super well. Once I was back, I could tell that Midnight was very comfortable with you. I will definitely book it again. Thank you so much Brandon!”


About: My family and I absolutely love dog sitting — it’s such a rewarding experience getting to spend time with different breeds and enjoying all of their unique personalities. I truly spoil every pup as if they were my own, and they quickly become part of the family. You’ll see that reflected in my reviews! :) Before reaching out, I kindly ask that all dogs be fully house-trained, spayed or neutered, free of fleas, ticks, and worms, good with other pups and most importantly, great with kids. This helps ensure a safe and happy environment for everyone involved. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but dogs are always supervised and either leashed or on a lead during all outdoor time. I bring this up because one client rated me slightly lower due to the lack of a fence. Even though it wasn’t mentioned in the written review and had nothing to do with the quality of care provided, I just like to be upfront so there are no surprises. If a fenced yard is something that’s important to you, I completely understand and encourage you to find the best fit for your pup’s needs. I’ve chosen Fox Chapel as the location on my profile because it’s a convenient central point for many of the areas I regularly serve. I’m located about 25 minutes from that area, but my clients come from all over the Pittsburgh region — some even drive over an hour — so listing this ZIP code helps keep my services easy to find and accessible. Lastly, a quick note: Rover takes a percentage of the total booking fee, which helps support their platform, maintain security, and provide protections for both pet parents and sitters like me. With that said, if you’re especially happy with the care your pup receives, tips are always appreciated — though never expected! Thank you so much for considering me, I'm looking forward to making some paws-itively wonderful memories with your fur baby. Sorry, I had to! Hehe :) Once again, I work from home so I am always here and available to care for him/her. They will be very well loved! I promise! I'll keep you updated throughout the stay with various photos, and other updates. If I'm unsure about anything, I will absolutely reach out and ask you!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple family dogs since I was a kid helping with training, walking, and feeding. I started dog sitting and boarding a couple of years ago and really enjoy it as I don’t yet have my own dog at home. I currently work remote full time in Verona. I have open availability for dog boarding and sitting. During weekdays, I have availability for walks in the morning and evenings, I have more flexibility on the weekends. I always ensure the dogs I take care have everything they need and are safe at home and on walks. I am responsible and reliable and always make my commitments on time. I currently work fully remote so I have the ability to dog sit and board without having to leave your pets alone for long periods of time. I also am very active so walks are already a part of my daily routine. I am very good at following the pet parents instructions and schedules for their dogs. I always do my best to make sure the dog is comfortable and provide the same level of care they are used to.

About: I’ve watched my neighbors dogs. I used to go over and check on them while they were at work. I have lots of cat experience as well. I currently work full time but I work from home. I am mostly available on weekends, possibly some weekdays but it depends on the distance. I treat any pet like they’re my own. I’ve loved animals since I was a child. For any pet I will do whatever the owner would ask of me to take care of their pet while the owner is away.

About: I'm from PR, and I've been a dog rescuer since 2011. I have tons of experience caring for animals and giving them the love and treatment that they deserve. I love what I do. I retire and moved to Pittsburgh on February, 2023. It makes me a perfect match for your doggy. I will treat them as if they were mine. NO cages. I have a fenced runner connected to the pets' room that allows them to safely go in and out whenever they want. You can bring their bed or any special toys. I foster rescued dogs from PR that came to Pittsburgh looking for a second chance of life, and the money earn through Rover is used to cover their health and traveling expenses. I work from home, and my office is in the room where they will spend their stay, so they will be with me most of the day, and they will be able to play with my own dogs under supervision. If they are potty trained and well behaved, they will have permission to access all the house. To be able to satisfy you pup's needs, I will ask you to write down your special instructions and promise I will follow them as written. You will receive a lot of daily pictures of your furry friends.

Jasmine B.
“I can't say enough good things about Jasmine, our dog walker! She has been an absolute lifesaver for our pup, Bruno. From day one, Jasmine was reliable, attentive, and so kind to him. She tailors each walk to Bruno's needs and always goes the extra mile to ensure he’s happy and well-exercised. Jasmine is not just a dog walker, she’s a true pet lover, and it shows in the care she gives. I never worry when she’s taking care Bruno, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!”

Phyllis S.
“I volunteered with Phyllis at the Humane Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh. Through her years of experience with walking dogs she was trusted to work with dogs that were timid, shy and anxious, as well as dogs that had dog reactivity, strong dogs that still needed training to walk comfortably on a leash, and dogs that would become overstimulated on walks. I also trust Phyllis to watch and walk my own dogs, one who experiences dog reactivity on walks and can be challenging to walk due to her triggers. She is also a resource guarder and needs special attention during feeding times and whenever providing treats. Phyllis utilizes positive reinforcement to encourage preferred behavior and respects and loves dogs. She also checks in on our cats when we are out of town and has experience administering oral medication to one of my cats. I would recommend Phyllis to care for your animal family members. Their experience with her will be loving, positive, safe, and enriching.”

Natasha G.

“Natasha was our caregiver for almost a year. She was not only in charge of watching our children, but we had a German shepherd she was responsible for as well. I could tell right away how good she was with dogs which was a huge plus for us. Buddy (our dog) was quite the handful and often tackled down when playing with her. She always handled him well and treated him with as much love as she treated our children with no matter how hard he was at times. They shared a very cute bond! Stacie”
