“Mirren was so wonderful and helped me out with a last minute dog sitting need! I will definitely use her as a reliable dog sitter and walker in the future. Thanks again for your help!”

“Abby, was so great with our Sailor. She has a friendly, confident and warm way with dogs! Sailor loved her right away when they met. I could tell how excellent her caregiving was as he did all his routines great with her-- a walk, bedtime routine, ate his meals, was calm and great when we got home. He is used to us being around and I hadn't left him for an overnight for some years, so it is all the more impressive that he adjusted so quickly to Abby. Also, we loved getting the detailed updates and pictures! We are so happy we were able to have Abby help us for these couple of days and know Sailor will want to have her back! Thanks for taking care with all our little notes about things, Abby! Hope we can have you back soon!”

“Regan has been walking my dog for months! I love having her. During that time my puppy was just 12 weeks old when we started and she’s been so flexible along the way as my puppy learned & grew. Thanks Regan!! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Libby has been so great to my dog Fox! She always communicates if there’s any change to the schedule and I know Fox is super grateful to have her drop in and keep him company!”

“Highly recommend Tiffany to take care of your fur babies!! She provided updates with photos and spent time playing with my cats during check-ins. My cats seemed very comfortable around her as well :) Thank you!!”

“Edan was so helpful when I was feeling lost with the new adopted kitten. She is flexible in any reasonable adjustment, compassionate, caring for cats to her heart. I was very grateful that she offers to help during my most stressful period of time.”

“Morgan is very kind and responsive. After each visit she takes time to leave very detailed messages of her visit. She quickly has gotten to know my dog and knows how to understand her body language. I feel very comfortable with her taking care of my dog.”

“Jessica is awesome! We needed daytime visits during business travel and Jessica was available and in the neighborhood. She connected with Charlie immediately, was reliable, thoughtful, and communicative. We will be booking with Jessica again and again.”

“Danielle is awesome. We have four dogs, three of them on the bigger side, and one has to wear a belly band due to marking in the house. She’s awesome about getting it off him before going out to potty and putting a new one on. It’s an odd task, but she handles it with ease! She does weekly visits for us and is great with the pups. Trustworthy and thorough - we highly recommend her!”

“Wallis was the best sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet our girls before caring for them and even got our shy cat to come out of our shell around her. We can tell that she cared about our cats like they were her own and will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future if able!”

“Nicole was prompt (even for an early morning shift that I grumble at!), took great photos, and overall made us very comfortable to leave our pup home solo for the first time. Would book again!”

About: Located in Bloomfield / Shadyside — I’ve had over 10 cats in my life (many of whom lived to 18+!) as well as 2 dogs. I’ve pet-sat for all kinds of dogs, cats, and fish for neighbors and friends. Feel free to reach out and I can drop by to feed and play with the cat, take the dog for a walk, whatever you need! Have taken care of both old and young pets. Currently have a flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can see what works ! I have a car which gives me even more flexibility. I’m diligent in following instructions and always keeping an eye on potential hazards or escape routes for your beloved pet. I’m a quick communicator and won’t hesitate to ask any questions !

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Ranging from high energy boxers to labs, indoor and outdoor, you name it. I unfortunately don’t now because of living in the city and no pet policies. I’ve cat and dog sat for friends, family, and even professors in college, and now I want to officially! I love seeing funny requests like ‘needs a gourmet meal prepared (theatrics of course but I’d cook lol) or they won’t eat.’ Big fan of the cheese tax, because me too, and cats who are bread bakers. I love pets of any kind and size (even big dogs, snakes, etc) right when I meet them. I can be patient if they’re not a fan at first! I’d love to be able to help others and animals who have working parents, or even parents who just want to have fun and need some help. My daily and weekly schedule are pretty flexible! I work from home most days aside from Sunday really. I tend to have gaps during the day and work mostly in the afternoon and evening! I do live in the city and don’t mind boarding pets but I also want them to have space to roam so I rather come to you! I’m more than happy to take pets outside, to parks, on walks, or play. I know a lot of pets like consistency so I can prioritize working with you to find a set schedule.
Shadyside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Daniel does such a wonderful job with our cat. He is so patient and sweet with her, and takes the time to figure out what she likes and what makes her most comfortable. It’s wonderful to know she’s in such reliable, trustworthy hands when he’s taking care of her!
Ashley was fantastic and I would use her services again in a heartbeat. She was extremely thorough in following the instructions I left and reached out with questions for anything that was unclear. Her reports were detailed with plenty of cute pictures for reassurance.

Jen took such great care of our cats! I appreciated her thoroughness and attention to detail. I also loved reading the visit summaries and seeing the pictures. I loved seeing how quickly our cats warmed up to her - amazing given that we have one especially shy cat! I highly recommend Jen!
AnaBeth did an excellent job watching my cat, Greta. She communicated frequently so I was up to date on how Greta was doing. Every visit included lots of pictures, which I loved! I came home to a happy kitty and a clean home. I will definitely be using AnaBeth for future pet-sitting :)

Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!

Maddie was the best at taking care of my cats! They love attention, and Maddie made sure to spend time with them, in addition to giving food and water of course. Maddie also made sure to reach out with a few questions as they came up, which I really appreciated since it showed a genuine desire to give my pets amazing care. I definitely plan on rebooking with Maddie!

Jessica is amazing! She watched our dog and cat while we were out of the country for 6 days. We felt so comfortable with her taking care of our girls. The daily updates let us know everything that was going on and made us feel at ease being away from them! I will 100% be using Jessica again!
