“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Breanna was everything we could have asked for in a sitter! She sent lots of photos and updates, had toys for our dog to play with, and even took him for his favorite treat, a pup cup! She was very communicative and asked great questions to make sure she knew everything he needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”
“Victoria was great! She booked with late notice and was very accommodating. First time booking with her, very professional, and made Mowgli feel very comfortable with her dogs. There were always updates, pictures and videos sent daily. I will definitely use Victoria again.”
“Nicole watched my dog while I was out of town and did a great job! I got plenty of updates, her home was lovely, and my old dog seemed so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! I had a last minute work trip and Richard was so accommodating. So kind and I am so appreciative. Mosi had a great time and was ready for a nap when he came home!”
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Justin was very welcoming and after a visit together with Watson, I left Alexa in good hands. Justin sent lots of pictures of Alexa and Watson taking walks, and relaxing at home.”
“Adrienne took great care of Roxanne. Phoebe (Adrienne's pup) was a great friend to Roxanne. Adrienne was attentive and responsive and sent us lots of photo updates!”
“Super communicative and sent lots of photos and videos! Our dog had such a good time at Tia’s place playing in her backyard and getting lots of snuggles. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lola had a great time with Ellyn! She was very responsive while we were away and sent pictures almost every day. We would be happy to have Lola stay again!”
“We’ve boarded our dog a few times with Coralee now and our dog absolutely loves it. The anxiety she has when we leave has lessened significantly and she is so happy to have doggy friends to play with. We get pictures and/or videos everyday and it helps so much to see her happy and playing.”

“Lucas did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely trust him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter”
“Adam was wonderful! He was a great communicator, sent updates and pics of my dog, and made me feel very comfortable being away from my dog. He proved trustworthy and caring with my dog, so I’ll definitely want to use him again!”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
Shadyside dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog loves Ellyn and her family. They hang out on the couch, walk, and play. An accomplished photographer, Ellyn sends frame worthy photos. In those, it's clear that my dog's having laugh-out-loud fun. I highly recommend booking with Ellyn. It's stress and guilt free.
Jesaun was so extremely friendly and flexible with us. We ended up needing extremely last minute care for our dog and he was able to help us out and even went out of his way to pick her up for us. He was great at taking care of our dog, sent pictures and updates, and made sure she got lots of exercise. I would definitely recommend him.
Adrienne was absolutely amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet at her home a few days before our pup’s stay. She walked us around and showed us where our pup would sleep, play, etc. When we dropped our pup off for her stay, Adrienne was very thorough about asking what treats she was able to have and how often she is fed. We got pictures and videos of walks, dog park adventures, and our pup sleeping peacefully. We will absolutely be booking again!
Audrey was the perfect caregiver for Rufus. I needed to find someone relatively quickly, and Audrey was available and made sure we could squeeze in a meet and greet so Rufus and I would feel comfortable. Rufus is almost 13 and has some health issues requiring meds. He is often reluctant to take the meds and sometimes to eat enough, but Audrey was successful in making sure he got what he needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Audrey any time!!!
Darius really enjoyed her time with Griffin and Meatball! Krista took really good care of Darius for the whole weekend, she sent lots of photos to us, Darius is a shy girl but she looks extremely happy in each and every picture. We are glad that Darius had a great weekend with Griffin, Meatball, and Krista. Highly recommended!!
Elizabeth was amazing!! We took our 12 year old small dog, who has alot of anxiety and issues with being left alone and I have never seen her so happy with a sitter!! Elizabeth gave our Mia so much attention and love that we were afraid that she wouldn't want to come home with us. I hope that she never stops dog sitting because I am sure we will never find someone as perfect for our Mia as Elizabeth.
Beancurd has such a wonderful time with Valerie and comes home to us calm and relaxed and exhausted from having so much fun. For an anxious dog with separation anxiety it’s amazing for us to know we can leave her is such good hands. Lots of pics and great communication, highly recommended Valerie as a sitter and walker and so does Beancurd!!
Rae was amazing with my two pups! She took such great care of them and sent photos and videos and updates during their stay. Thank you for catering to each other their individual needs and for taking Ralphie with you hiking! I would 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for top tier care for your dogs.
