House Sitting in Sewickley Heights

“I usually use Rover's boarding option, however, I wasn't able to find anyone in close proximity during this busy summer. With this being my first time using the house sitting service, I was nervous about leaving my dog and opening my home to someone I had just barely met. However, Mahle made this experience less stressful. We established a meet and greet a few days after I initially requested the days I needed a sitter for my dog. She responded promptly to my messages and showed up right on time. She was friendly, interacted and played with Koa as we discussed Koa's schedule and personality. When we were away, I did have to message her to see how everything was going and she responded quickly with updates of my dog and a picture. She was very respectful of my property and most importantly I came home to a happy dog. I feel more at ease using this Rover option and will definitely ask Mahle if she can sit for my dog in the future. Thank you, Mahle!!”

“Alisha has been our pet sitter several times now and she is amazing! My pups are happy when she visits and this makes me happy. She plays outside with them and sends sweet pictures and reports every visit. Honestly I am never worried about my 2 girls when she is caring for them. Thanks Alisha you’re the best!! The girls send their love!❤️❤️”

“Brianna was fantastic! She stayed in my home from Thursday until Sunday to watch my nine-year-old Vizsla and three year-old cat. Not only was she extremely responsive, but proactive about communication as well! She sent photos and kept me informed of things going on at my house like bad weather that caused a power outage and my lawn care company coming to cut the grass. She also kept my home extremely clean during her stay, honestly going above and beyond in several ways! My dog can be quite needy, and Brianna was not phased by that. She made me feel very comfortable about trusting her in my home and with my animals, which says a lot about her professionalism and level of care. While I would love to gate keep her so she is available whenever I need her, I figure she needs more than 1 “regular.” 10/10 highly recommend!”

“Traisaun does a great job with our fur kids. We can always tell how good of a time they had by how excited they are when we get back. Even though we were gone for the weekend, they barely acted like we had gone to the store, which means they barely missed us not being here. Even the rabbit, who doesn’t like everyone, looks around for Traisaun after he leaves. Aside from being great with our fur kids, Traisaun is very reliable and trustworthy. We will continue to hire Traisaun as long as we can!”

“Brianna was an excellent sitter for my dog. She was very attentive, caring, and communicative with me as well. From the beginning she put me at ease and made sure my dog would be getting the care that she needed while I was away. She also took incredible care of my house, which was above and beyond, and greatly appreciated. I would absolutely not hesitate to have her watch my dog again.”

“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”

About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.

About: I work from home so this allows me to give a lot of time and care to your pup. I am happy to take your pup along with me on my multiple walks per day and play in the yard. My son and I take a lot of joy out of hosting dogs and have so much fun with our Rover guests! Please note the dogs in our pictures do not reside with us and will not be present in our home when we have puppy guests. We only host one guest at a time (unless it’s a family pair). We would love to host your pup if it is house trained, friendly to all humans and other dogs, and does not have any history of aggression, separation anxiety or destructive / behavioral issues as we would not be equipped to handle. Meet and greet prior to boarding is our request to ensure a great experience for all. Thank you in advance for your transparency on these requirements! I work from home and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.

“Katelyn did a great job house sitting for our three cats and one dog! We got frequent updates and pictures. The house was left as clean as we had left it. She really put us at ease while we were out of town!”

“Stephanie was great! When we met her she was calm and the dogs adored her, which put our minds at ease. She was extremely punctual, easy to work with, and went above and beyond. We're really happy to have found her. Thank you!”

“We were nervous to leave our 4 dogs (Great Pyrenees, Golden Retriever and two Miniature Dachshunds) for a week but Gabby made us feel very comfortable with the whole situation! She sent us daily pictures and communicated with us whenever there was a concern or question. Our dogs all loved her and she took great care of them! We highly recommend Gabby for taking care of your animals large and small!”

Laura B.

“Tessa was the BEST! We were so hesitant to try Rover and trust someone to come into our home and care for our three dogs. But we gave it a shot, did a meet and greet, and then a weekend away and had Tessa dog sit. She was beyond communicative, was so caring, and sent so many photos and updates. It was so clear our boys LOVED her and they can’t wait to see her again! 🐾”
