“Ric is super! Saber had an awesome time there. Ric sent pictures and videos everyday to us to update Saber’s situation. We booked another stay with Ric again! Highly recommend!”



“Kathy is always so incredible with our dog Carmen. She always has several other sweet dogs there for the weekends, so lots of activity! Kathy is great at keeping us updated on her weekend. Highly recommend her.”



“The best dog sitter in Pittsburgh! Took care of her for over a week while we were away. Sent messages, videos, and pictures everyday. Very social with lots of other dogs to interact with. Definitely booking again!”


“We are so happy with our dog's care by Michael and his wife while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Our dog is a nervous dog so they paid close attention to her and she settled in nicely. They sent us updates every day with a photo. We will definitely use them again!”


“Amy was amazing! I have a senior Shiba Inu who is 17 and Amy was so good with him! She was very patient with him and offered updates and pictures throughout the day. This was my first time having someone dog sit for me and she eased all of my anxiety about it. I would highly recommend her!”


“This was our first time using Rover, and Christine made it an unforgettable experience!! Normally we board our dogs, but since we were going on a short weekend trip we wanted to try something different. Christine made the entire process super stress-free. We dropped our pups off at her home, where she let us inside and gave us a rundown of what she'd be doing each day for them (how many times she takes them for walks, where they sleep, etc.). It made me feel so much better knowing exactly where they'd be staying and the details of their care! Christine sent several pictures each day with updates on how they were doing, which made this anxious dog-mom feel at ease. She truly cared for our dogs as if they were her own - she even sent them home with handmade bow-ties for their collars :') Any time we need to go out of town for a few days again, we're booking with Christine!! 10000/10 would absolutely recommend.”


“My cat is anxious and shy and Audrey did a great job keeping her comfortable. She was very responsive and I received regular updates. My cat didn’t want to leave her at the end haha. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything! 🩷”


“Sierra was great with Hyde! Hyde is very high energy and can be temperamental with other dogs, which doesn’t always make him and easy dog to sit. However, I was completely comfortable with Sierra watching Hyde, as she was very communicative when needed and sent photos of him during the sitting. I will definitely be booking again when in need.”


“Adam was great with our dog boone!! You can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. He Kept us updated daily and sent lots of pics (very cute ones ! ) Boone loves to be outside and Adam took him on so many good walks, visited the dog park , and they even got a pup cup! We will definitely be rebooking in the future”


“breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.”


“Kristina and Fletcher were great! Very friendly and accommodating people. Most importantly, doggo was happy and healthy with them! She got lots of walks and attention, and we got plenty of pictures of her loving life while we were away. They were conscientious about her care, and we felt at ease leaving her with them. We will certainly be using them again!”


“We could not be more pleased with Ashley’s care for our doggie! Tabitha clearly felt very comfortable with her and had fun at her house. Ashley sent frequent updates as to how things were going which was so reassuring. We loved how enthusiastic she was about caring for a big dog and making sure Tabitha was happy and relaxed. We look forward to having Ashley care for our doggie again!”


“We recently needed to find a new sitter for our dogs for the first time in a couple of years so we were a little anxious about how they would handle a new place. They had a great first stay with Ellyn! She sent pictures/updates every day and we could tell that they were comfortable and well cared for. They were happy and tired from their adventures when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ellyn again and would highly recommend her!”


“Joe is so good with my dog Henry. He set up a meet& great in advance to make sure Henry would be comfortable and to find out my preferences for his care, his communication is excellent, and he set photos regularly from Henry's visit and walks. Absolutely stellar care! Joe is wonderful!”



“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”


About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.

“Tessa takes such great care of Leo! He is a senior hound; he takes daily medicines and has separation anxiety. Tessa does an awesome job of keeping him calm and happy. I always appreciate her daily updates!”


“Morgan is great!!! This was our second or third time booking with her and she looked after our dog Tessie with a lot of care and understanding (Tessie’s a little shy and not the best eater). Morgan sent tons of photos, and her dog Maisy is very sweet. We would absolutely book again!”

Squirrel Hill North dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley was amazing with my 5-month-old puppy! My pup is more shy, timid, and anxious, so I was a little nervous about leaving her with someone new. Ashley immediately made me feel comfortable and confident that she was in great hands. She is warm, calm, and welcoming, and she took the time to make sure my puppy felt safe and happy. Ashley sent lots of updates and adorable pictures throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. She has a great fenced-in backyard and plenty of toys and activities to keep dogs entertained. My puppy clearly enjoyed her time there and came home happy and relaxed. Ashley is professional, kind, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!

Abby and Jason were incredible with our five month old puppy. We were anxious about leaving her for the first time, let alone for a whole week, and we were at ease as soon as we met them and Wall-E. Prior to booking they were communicative and that continued through the stay with daily updates. As soon as I picked her up I could tell she had a great week. As I am writing this she is taking a nap and we have already requested a stay for our next trip!

Brad is hands down our favorite sitter we’ve used! If we travel we look at his calendar first. We have a senior dog with some challenges and medication. Brad is amazing at taking care of our older guy. He follows the instruction provided and gave me daily updates. I would highly recommend Brad if you get the opportunity!

We were lucky to find Allison for our last-minute request! One of our rescue dogs is still becoming more socialized - so he definitely needs to sense a "vibe" to be able to connect with someone - and after I got a good feeling at our meet-and-greet, we booked. He took to Allison pretty quickly and by the end of the weekend, they were snuggling. We would definitely use Allison again, if she'll have us. :) Thanks, Allison!

breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.

Alexis was very customer oriented keeping in contact with the dog owner to ensure her comfortability! She sent photos via text causing me to relax and glean much from my meetings! I will most definitely use her again the next time I am in town and in need of a dog sitter! Well worth the money spent!!!!

Kristina and Fletcher were so amazing for our three babies. We know our dogs have some unique traits (Luna is scared of hardwood floors) and Murphy can be very mischievous and they handled all of their quirks with the utmost care and patience. They even gave our Hazel a bath! We received updates and pictures everyday! We truly appreciate everything they did for our dogs!

Lucy and Matt were the best!! Our pup, Frankie, stayed with them for a week while we were away. They sent daily pics, took her on so many adventures, and introduced her to new friends!! We will absolutely be using them in the future and would recommend for anyone who needs a dog sitter for their fur baby!!

Rae did a great job with our dog Rosie. She was very conscientious - took extra care to text me with any concerns, took Rosie for walks, and sent nice pictures. The large, fenced-in yard was great for our 90 lb. English lab - lots of room to enjoy. Thanks Rae - we will definitely use your dog-sitting services again!

Zsofi was an amazing host for our rescue dog Julie! Julie was immediately comfortable and had such a great time on all their adventures together. You can tell Zsofi had a lot of dog experience because she knew just how to prepare for the Fourth of July fireworks to make Julie extra comfortable even in a new place. We hope Zsofi is available again the next time we go out of town as I’m sure Julie would love to go back!
