“Keilah is a great pet sitter! I have an extremely shy and anxious cat and somehow she got him to come out and play a little and even got a photo of him giving her a kiss! I was shocked! I recommend her for any pet needs and will absolutely be going back to her.”

“Nimisha was amazing with Archie! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures, Archie was well taken care of and had a blast going on walks with her :) would definitely recommend her and request her in the future!”


“Amy responded immediately to my last minute request to help out with our 3 dogs while we were in town for our son’s wedding and even popped over to our airb&b to meet the dogs that afternoon. She did 3 drop-in visits over the course of two days with great feedback and photos. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our son’s wedding worry-free!!!!”

About: I have been around dogs for much of my life and am happy to fulfill their playing, food, and walking needs! Excited to help out This summer I have an extremely flexible schedule that can work around whatever is needed for your pet care! I am able to take care of pets all weekdays for as long as needed. I will not be able to care for pets in my home, but I am happy to pet sit and walk at clients' homes and around their neighborhoods and parks.
About: I have had a dog of my own for nine years and think I would be a great fit to take care of your animal. I know what to do in different situations with dogs and cats because I have babysat dogs and cats before. I have a lot of free time to properly take care of your animals. I am willing to spend more time and really make sure your satisfied with my visit. I spend time taking them for walks, grooming them, and just spending time with them. I love exercising my dog and making sure he gets treats for his good behavior.
About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!
“Justin was great! He was very quick to communicate about booking and visits! He was on-time and flexible for drop-in visits, and he provided great updates and photos of his time with Callie! They went for plenty of walks, and Justin spent extra time throwing the ball for her, and just relaxing at home for extra company while I was away! I will book again with Justin for my next trip! He did a fantastic job with Callie!”


“Divya is a really passionate sitter who genuinely cares about animals. She worked hard to earn our cat’s trust and they ended up bonding. The amazing photos and summaries she provides gives us peace of mind when we are away. Highly recommend Divya!”

About: I will love your dog as if they were my own and take care of them exactly as you would! I know how fickle and specific dogs can be and I will do my best to make your dog feel confident and comfortable while you are gone.

I work part time, so I have tons of time to shower your pets with love and attention and am very flexible for the needs of you and your pet. I will always leave a space better than I found it and will take good care of your pet and your home so that you can feel confident that your pet is having a good time while you are gone!
“Amanda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away, with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her. If I ever need a cat sitter in the future, I plan to rebook.”

“George does such a great job with my little dog and makes me very comfortable while I am at work that he is being taken very good care of. I never worry about my dog while I’m away because I know he is in good hands with George. George always sends me great pictures of my baby too.”

“Ashley was great! She made time for a meet and greet prior to the visits. My pets warmed up to her and she was very patient with my boy cat who takes a little bit of time to adjust to new people. Very thankful and couldn't recommend her enough.”

About: I'm a Carnegie Mellon alumni and Floridian transplant who decided to stay and settle in the Burgh. I've volunteered with animals since I was 14, and up until a year ago, I was running my own rescue. I began pet sitting to help pay vet bills for the strays I took in. I have specialized largely in neonatal and senior care, including administering medicine, facilitating special diets, and offering personalized enrichment (including socialization for ferals). I also fed, rehabilitated, vaccinated, and spayed street dogs while living in Mexico. I plan my schedule around the animals in my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I have a foster dog, the highlight of my day is the hour long walk when I get home from work. Ultimately, I'm extremely flexible and patient because I've come to learn that pets & strays don't operate on our human schedules, and each day I can dedicate to helping them thrive is a blessing. While in a client's home, I'm careful to follow all provided instructions closely and always ask for clarification if I'm unsure. Also, I'm happy to assist with small home tasks like bringing in the mail or watering your plants as needed.
About: I’ve had pets in my life as long as I have been alive. My family and friends have trusted me to care for their animals on several occasions. During the day, I am a teacher, so if I can be trusted with children, I can definitely be trusted with your animal-child! Over the summer I will be working full time as a camp counselor, so most of my services will have to take place in the afternoon and evenings! I will not be offering services out of my own home, due to the matter that the animals are not my own, therefore I do not feel comfortable bringing your furbabies over!
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

Tony has been a consistent high performer when it comes to the care of our dog. I appreciate how in tune he is with our dogs' needs. He not only provides basic care giving, but also love and affection for our pup in my family's absence. I highly recommend him.

Valerie did a wonderful job watching Archie! She kept me updated with regular texts and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Archie was well cared for and happy the whole time. I would absolutely recommend Valerie and would gladly book with her again!
