“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”

“Wallis did an amazing job taking care of Olivia. My cat came down with a UTI right before I had to go out of town. Wallis kept me updated on her progress, and was very communicative and helpful when Olivia gave us a little scare and had to go to the vet. Olivia is doing very well now, and I’m really grateful that Wallis took such good care of her.”

“This was the second time we've worked with Heather and we look forward it every time! She provides detailed updates throughout the day, checks in when necessary, sends the cutest pictures of our dog, and most importantly, makes our dog feel loved while we're away. She handles working with an elderly dog with grace, especially given his medication schedule and separation anxiety. We know our dog is in fabulous capable hands while we're gone. She's a delight to have as a house guest and goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks for your help, Heather!”

“This was our first time having Patrick watch our dogs and stay at our home, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, Patrick proved to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. He took great care of our dogs—not just covering the basics, but making sure they were comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing they were in such good hands. He also did an outstanding job taking care of our home. Everything was kept clean, organized, and exactly how we left it. It’s not easy trusting someone in your space for the first time, but Patrick made it completely stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. We received regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax while we were away. For a first experience, this couldn’t have gone any better. We highly recommend Patrick and will absolutely be using him again in the future.”

“Maura did great with both Ollie and Olive. Ollie is a bit sassy at times and Olive can be very clingy and she did great with both. Maura was also able to make arrangements if she needed to be gone longer throughout the day. I appreciated the updates while I was away along with the goofy pictures of my pups as well as the video. Will definitely plan to book again when I need to go out of town! (:”

“This is our second time having Jessica watch our pups and again, she is wonderful. Very attentive and provides great communication. Mindful of our home and keeping things as is. Will definitely request Jessica to watch our dogs again!”

“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!”

“Our pets love CK! He gave them lots of attention and communicated well with us during our overseas trip. We found our home to be in excellent condition upon our return. We will definitely reach out to CK in the future.”

“Evan was great! Very good with handling Delilah and providing updates on her as well as not being afraid to ask clairfying questions for things I forgot to mention in her care plan”

“Valerie was fantastic!! She took such wonderful care of our dog during the week we were traveling. She took him on hikes, brought him a new toy to explore, and sent frequent updates, including the cutest videos of his daily activities. Valerie was a great communicator and incredibly responsive. She took great care of our house and left it better than she found it (our dog bowls were sparkling!). We highly recommend her!”

“Anne is great and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She is communicative and my dog warned up to her quickly, he could just sense how open and caring she is to dogs.”

About: I have a dog and 2 cats. I have also completed veterinary technician program in high school. I have worked at Dog Stop and the Zoo! I can watch you animals anytime! I can take them for walk or play time! Available holidays as well as weekends and weekdays. I do have a dog, so you dog needs to enjoy other dogs to come to my house. I have a fenced in yard and nice dog and 2 cats who will likely hide :) I am happy to watch at your house as well as stopping by your house to go for walks!
“Jayne took great care of our dog and bunny when we were away overnight! The pets were happy and the house looked great when we came home. We will be happy to have her sit for us again in the future.”

“Teneisha is wonderful! She is very patient and caring. My boy suffers separation anxiety and is very hesitant with new people, but Teneisha was there making sure he had his food and water and was well cared for. She is a very intelligent and responsible woman, who made me feel very comfortable leaving for a couple of days and not having my own anxiety about Reuben's well being. I highly recommend Teneisha!”

“I always feel at ease when Flora is watching my two cats. My girls feel comfortable with her and are always in a happy mood when I come home. She is so mindful with my home as well, and is always so kind!”

About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everyone they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.
Squirrel Hill South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah did a great job watching my pups and my house! She followed all safety precautions to make sure my crazy street dog didn’t escape and was patient through the fact my huskies were blowing their coat and my groomer cancelled my appt last minute. My house was exactly how I left it and my dogs were well cared for. I highly recommend!

I feel lucky to have found Maddy! She was kind and gentle with my blind senior pup and followed my care instructions. Maddy updated me on how things were going and was very responsive if I reached out to her. She was respectful of my home which is very appreciated!

David was available last minute and able to step in an provide in home care for our big doggie over a weekend. At the introduction, he was easily able to meet and greet with Benny, without a single day notice. He also was completely able to handle our big dog and his barking at the door- his only bad behavior. He was easy to communicate with, checked-in often, and gave our dog exactly what he needed to have a comfortable and easy weekend at home, while our family traveled. When we arrived home, Benny had clearly been well taken care of. I would recommend David to anyone looking for in-home dog care.

Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!

Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.
