“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!”
“Ilana was great! She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were taken care of, walked twice a day (early morning and later evenings due to the heat), and sent so many updates! We had her stay at our house while we were out of town and the house was tidy upon us coming home, with no issues. Ilana was very respectful and kind! Thank you!”
“This is my second time using Sydney for pet sitting. She puts so much car into watching the animals she’s charged with. She does a wonderful job with my anxious dog and very shy cats. I trust her to take good care of my home as well. Looking forward to continuing to use Sydney in the future!”
“Marcela and her partner are awesome! We have had them watch our two dogs multiple times and we have never had a single issue. I would recommend them to anyone else!”
“Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!”
“We loved having Brooke over to watch our Junie, you can tell they were good friends right away. We appreciated the photos and updates throughout the day and we came home to a happy and well cared for pup. Would recommend Brooke and we definitely hope to book with them again in the future!”
“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”
“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
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:)
“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”
“David was a great sitter for our two cats. He stayed the weekend and the cats were well cared for and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. He sent us pics and updates while we were away which were appreciated. Would totally recommend David to other people looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I was born into a family with a dog and have had a dog in my life ever since! Now I have a 7 year old pittie mix who is my whole world. I trained her and continue to do so to help her acquire new skills or just for mental stimulation. While I was a late-in-life cat lover, I now have 2 cats of my own who i cant imagine life without. Over the years I’ve had many friends, family, and coworkers trust me with their fur babies whether it was for a single walk, a feeding and play time, or stay overs while they were gone. I even have experience administering medicine to special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. Usually I am free in the mornings and afternoons. Evenings are tougher for me, but we can make something work! I will always want to do a meet and greet before caring for your animal whether I’m providing a walk or a staying with your fur baby over night. I want to make sure I’m the best fit and that you feel comfortable with your pet in my hands. I will defer to you in terms of safety and care (beyond the basics) as you know your pet best. As I get to know your pet, I’ll understand their preferences and triggers which will allow me to provide them with the best care.
“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.”
“Alex was so patient and accommodating with our older, anxious dog. He was also very communicative with updates and questions. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pup was in good hands. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My love of animals is probably one of my most defining characteristics. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats, volunteered at a local shelter throughout high school & college, & I now have a dog & 2 cats of my own! I’m also a certified Physician Assistant, so giving medications or injections is no problem! I recently accepted a job where I am able to work partially from home, which allows my schedule to be very flexible in the early afternoon to evening. I’m also available varying weekends depending on my travel plans! I’m very thorough & detail-oriented. I know what it’s like to want your pet to be in the best hands, so that’s what I’m here to offer!
“Sarah was absolutely adoring of our dog! Took great care and sent daily updates which were much appreciated. Also, our house was left so clean, I was suspect anyone had stayed there!! Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my life, some bought and some rescued. I know what it is like to go through the ups and downs of raising a dog and I would love to play a role in helping you in that journey! I am an involved and hard worker with a passion for pets. I love going for walks and staying active and am always outside doing something. I can handle energetic dogs and puppies and I don’t mind getting pushed around a little and I am great at giving baths after long nature outing. I do have another job but it is only open on the weekend so I have plenty of free time during the week. I am also pretty flexible when comes to hours as well. I love to have a set idea of do’s and do not’s from a pet owner before I house sit just to make sure I am not overstepping or over correcting and to make sure everyone is safe at all times. I currently do not petsit in my home because of my living situation.

Squirrel Hill North pet parents share their Rover experiences
Collin was a wonderful sitter. He was funny, gave great belly rugs to Courage from the pictures, and provided regular updates. He also was available on very short notice! I highly recommend him to anyone in the future! Courage and Bagheera were both happy and tired up on my return!
Aidan was an INCREDIBLE sitter for my cat and dog! He was always super communicative and friendly during his stay. Aidan sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone which allowed me to really enjoy my time away on vacation. He followed my instructions to the letter and left my house spotless when I can back. I can’t recommend Aidan enough and will definitely be using his services in the future!
Therese was great with our dogs during the meet & greet and was very conscientious which made us feel comfortable that our dogs would be well taken care of. We got regular updates and photos while we were away and returned to 2 happy, healthy dogs. Would definitely recommend!
EXCELLENT dog and house sitter! He watched my dogs for 3 nights and 4 days. Bryce took excellent care of my house and dogs. He was very communicative and gave excellent, precise information. He walked both dogs, gave medication and went above and beyond. Awesome sitter
Andrew was so great with my dog. His schedule flexibility let Lou keep to her routine. She got to ride to work with him and explore the hidden wooded paths around his studio in Mt Washington. He took special care of some of my plants and the house looked great on my return. I’ll book him again without hesitation
Alyssa met up with me and my anxious pup prior to my trip, and I really appreciated that she was happy to do that front-end labor of setting us at ease. Alyssa sent photos and videos to let me know how my dog was doing and even noted when she (the dog) wasn’t eating much, so I could respond with a suggestion. I’ll book this very calm and conscientious caretaker again.
We had an amazing experience with our cat sitter! She was incredibly thorough, kept everything in perfect order, and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were happy and comfortable while we were away. She sent tons of adorable pictures and detailed updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly can’t say enough good things about her—we’re so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring. We can’t wait to use her again!
Brooke was INCREDIBLE. We left our slightly older, slightly anxious dog in Brooke's care for over a week and came back to a happy, well cared for pup. Brooke was communicative, sent great photos, and was generally very sweet and professional. I would definitely book with her again.
Alex is quite possibly the most attentive cat sitter we've ever had (and we've had a ton). The kitties love him and just behave normally when he's around. He sends tons of updates and pics throughout the day (which we always request but sitters rarely ever actually do this!). We have older cats that have quite the eating schedule and Alex is always totally on it. He's got a perfect cat demeanor: quiet and slow moving and deliberate. It makes us all feel so comfortable! He's our top call for a sitter and has been for quite a while. We'll keep using Alex for our cat-sitting needs as much as we can!
Mariah is awesome! We have used her a few times now and our dog really enjoys her company. Mariah is a respectful house guest and will keep in touch with you as much (or as little) as you want! I feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her for short and extended periods of time!
Trai was just awesome. We booked him for a week long vacation with our giant breed dog and he was great. The house was cleaned up, he was always super easy to communicate with, and even sent this crazy dog mom pictures! He’s just so nice and easy to work with. I can’t say enough about him! I worry he’ll be too booked when I need him again because he is one of the best!
