“Anne was just what my cats needed. When she first came over to meet them, I expected them to hide as they usually do with someone new. Instead, they came to visit with her and they let her pet them. Every day we were away we received pictures, which means they came down to see her each time. Anne has just become our favorite person to care for them when we go away!”
“Karen is great with our girl Hazel. We get awesome pictures of her and know she is in great hands. Karen also give plenty of notice if she needs to change her schedule, which is so appreciated. We couldn’t recommend Karen enough!!”
“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Breanna went above and beyond with our 8 week puppy. I look forward to the detailed reports and pictures. She responds quickly to questions. Our family plans on booking her for several months. We know our pup will be in good hands.”
About: I've had more than half a dozen cats and dogs each throughout my life. I've helped feed them, give them water, walk them, and try to give them the happiest lives possible. These pets have been my best friends, even more so than most people that I've met. I absolutely love animals and always make them my priority! I'm a student at the University of Pittsburgh looking for a part time job when I am home on break, and weekend and afternoon work when I am at school. I love pets and tend to have a lot of free time at home and on weekends! My pets are technically my parents', but I often walk them because I want to get them outside and it's fun for me. I also feed them and make sure they have water in their dishes. I usually take my dogs as far as they want to go, whether it's for just a block, or for a few miles. I love to snuggle up with my dogs more than anything!
“Meghan is amazing and all over her time stamps are so detailed, they make me laugh as she describes our pups personalities so well! Thank you as always Meghan, we appreciate you more than you know!”
“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”
About: I have always been surrounded by different household animals. Dogs, cats, crabs, fish. I do not currently have the resources to have my own furry friend but have carved time to begin walking and sitting to still have an outlet for pet connection. I am eager to get into a conversation and discuss some options. Chat soon :) I am flexible. Looking to build my work schedule around walking and sitting. I would like to walk dogs early in the morning 5/6 am but flexible to walk at night as well When walking dogs, I am aware of soundings to keep them safe. I will keep them to the route planned and expected to ensure habits follow as normal.
“Carol is a wonderful pet sitter! We have used her several times now, and she always gives our dog the best care and loving attention with plenty of photos and updates to put our minds at ease. I could not ask for a better sitter!”
“Caroline yet again did a fantastic job taking care of our high maintenance cat and chickens!! She’s reliable, great with communication, and dedicated to keeping the animals happy!”
“Becky is wonderful! She plays and cuddles with our cat which for sure made Rusty not miss us terribly. I had no worries at all while we were away knowing Becky will take care of our cat very well.”
“Amy was wonderful. She was affectionate and you could tell that she loved animals. She sent pictures of my puppy when she got there and while she was playing . I would recommend Amy and I will use her again.”
“Nicole is the best!!! We were a little nervous to try Rover for the first time with our two cats, one of which requires daily medication. She was so responsive and loving for our kitties!!! She made the entire experience stress free. We can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Best sitter ever! Very caring for my recently spayed puppy making sure she got her meds and checked her surgical scar for me. Equally as attentive and caring to my second pup! Don’t know what I’d do without her. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it”
“Laura receives A+ !!!!!!!! I am extremely pleased!!!! Will definitely book with Laura again. I will certainly recommend to family and friends 🧡 Very grateful for the care my "ginger bky" received”

“Chelsea and John were such great sitters for our 12 year old dog, Moo Cow. They sent lots of photo updates and we felt secure that they were watching over him while we were happy. So happy to have found reliable sitters for our best guy.”
“We are very happy with Icie. She took really good care of our retired working dog and yorkie. She provided updates and even cleaned up after an accident. We can’t wait to have her watch out dogs again!”

Kai and Devon were great! I'm always anxious to leave my cat and my Monty is just as anxious. They both took great care of him even when he puked and gave me updates to calm my nerves. Also the pictures looked professional quality! I will use them again for future cat sitting needs.
Nicole takes her job seriously! She did a wonderful job caring for our 2 kitties! She was very dependable. She was warm & caring to our cats. Sending us pictures of our cats interacting with her made us feel at ease while being away from them! I highly recommend Nicole!!
Robyn was absolutely phenomenal! I was going away on a work trip and feeling a bit anxious about leaving my kitties for an extended period of time as I was going cross-country. This was the first time I was doing this along with using a cat sitter. At the suggestion of a dear friend, I signed up for Rover and Robyn put me at ease immediately. From our first meetup, I knew I made a great decision. She was very thorough in taking pictures and checking in with me and also followed my directions I left for her. I also noted her thoughtfulness and attention to detail and care. She treated my cats with dignity and love and even my dad was in awe of what a great job she was doing in my absence. I will definitely use Robyn’s services again! She is a gem and Rover is so lucky to have her!
Olivia was wonderful and helped keep our minds at ease while we were away. This is the longest trip we’ve taken and were reassured with daily check-in photos and details on our cats. Olivia is always quick to respond and was so wonderful to work with. She provided so many photos that truly highlighted how well the cats were cared for a while we were away. Our cats aren’t the most friendly which she understood and worked with their personalities. Highly recommended Olivia for any cat sitting needs
Amberleigh did a great job with Luna and was very nice to work with. Very communicative and took great pictures. Gave us important updates about how she was doing and how her visits went. Really cared about Luna and took the time to play and spend time with her. Flexible and willing to work with us for Luna’s needs.
Nancy went above and beyond to make sure my cat was taken care of...Her throrough updates, photos, timeliness, and genuine care for the cat gave me the confidence and assurance that he was in the best hands. She did more than asked to make sure that the cat (and I) were happy.
Taylor is wonderful to work with, Buddy loves her, but Batman is always a no show since he is so shy. Taylor stayed in touch with me the entire time I was out of the country and sent updated pictures. We will be requiring her services again in March which has already been discussed.
