“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”


“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”



“We have booked Natalie multiple times now for house sitting our two fur babies! She’s always wonderful with them, texts updates, and leaves our house in great condition.”


“We loved having Mariah dog sit for us! She took the time to come by and meet Bruno before the scheduled date which is always so helpful. She sent lots of updates and pictures and even helped clean up the guest room after her stay. I could tell Bruno was so comfortable with her and he enjoyed having her around. I hope to work with Mariah again soon!”


“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”


“Heather took great care of my 2 fur babies. I was able to enjoy my first family vacation in years because she made me so comfortable with the care she gave them. She sent pictures everyday and kept me updated in all of their activities. She will be my Rover go to for future trips.”


About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Sydney has taken care of my two, high energy boys twice now and has done an amazing job! She sends updates and pictures daily, lets me know if anything out of the ordinary happens, and is very responsive. She cleaned and left my house just the way I'd left it. She also stuck with the dogs' routine and training, which is so helpful. I love that she spends so much time with them, and also seems to really appreciate their quirky personalities! They were happy and relaxed when I got home. It's so nice to know I can trust Sydney to take such wonderful care of them!”


About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my family for years because they know how much I love to be around animals. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two cats who are my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for you furry family when you are away. I am a freelance artist and am usually doing various creative projects in the Pittsburgh area. Which gives me a very flexible schedule to focus on pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I can usually accommodate short notice and regular routines. I'm happy to work with your pets specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my own home, I can only accommodate small dogs who are cat-friendly, since I have two cats of my own. Their well-being and yours are always my top priority.

“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.”


“Alyssa did a fantastic job watching our dog Thor when we went out of town for an extra long weekend. She showed up on time, excited and prepared for the visit. Sent pictures and updates a few times everyday, which gave us peace of mind. We will be using her again in the future.”


“Traisaun is great. We have 4 active cuddly animals and even when we come home they will go and see if Traisaun is still here! He clearly treats your pets the way you would treat them (and sometimes even better because he puts up with more antics than I do!)”


“We had Darra stay at our house for a week and watch our English Mastiff Tyson. Our dog is very shy but Darra sent pics while we were away, and from the pics, you could tell he felt safe and loved. We had no issues, the communication was great, and we would recommend her to anyone!”


“Collin was AWESOM! Even though I only booked him ONE day in advance, he was happy to come and take care of my kitties! Both of them were happy to see him! I wasn't gone as long as I thought I would be, but I was SO happy to have Collin there! I will definitely have him back if I ever need a kitty sitter again! Thank you, Collin! Sherlock & Miss Watson say "Mew, mew, MEW!!!"”

“Mariah is absolutely fantastic! She not only took amazing care of my pup, but also brought along her two sweet dogs a couple of times—which made for the perfect mix of playtime, socialization, and exercise. My dog came home happy, tired, and clearly adored spending time with both Mariah and her pups. Mariah was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared for my dog as if she were her own. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. The updates and photos she sent were the cherry on top—I could see how comfortable and joyful my dog was in her care. I can’t recommend Mariah enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, attentive, and goes above and beyond, she’s the one. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
