“Alexis and Kevin took great care of our dog, Aira. They were flexible, communicative and sent us regular pics of Aira who felt at home there with lot of dog friends to play with. We will reach out again in future when we need help.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have dreamed of a better experience! Sara was so sweet and knowledgeable, and sent lots of wonderful photos. The next time we will absolutely go to her first!!”

About: I’m from LA, where I worked for a dog hiking service where we started each morning with a group hike, came back home for daycare, and boarded dogs overnight. I love all dogs, big + small, and know how important it is for them not just to be well taken care of, but happy! Now it’s just me and my dog (Micho) in Pittsburgh exploring the trails around the city, and we would love to bring your pup along! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule + take multiple walks a day, short hikes a couple times a week, and longer day trips on the weekends. Because I only take one dog at a time, my time will be completely devoted to your dog for one-on-one play, walks, snuggling, and everything in between.
“Brittany was very accommodating and thoughtful. I appreciated her willingness to ask questions to get to know all of Bailey's needs, and ensure a happy comfortable stay. I will definitely look to Brittany the next time I need to board Bailey.”

About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
“Beatriz always does an amazing job! She is so sweet and caring and my dog is always so happy when I come pick her up. I can tell she takes amazing care of the dogs in her care and my dog has even started getting excited when we pull up to her house. She is so responsive and always sends the cutest pictures and videos of my dog while I’m gone! She’s truly the best and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, she will treat your pet like her own!”

“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dogs for the weekend so we weren’t sure what to expect. She made everything so easy - sending pictures and videos throughout the day and keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. Our pups especially loved the fenced-in backyard! We highly recommend her and will definitely book again.”

About: As a dog mom to two German Shepherds, I have hands-on experience caring for large breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and lots of love. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm attentive to details, dependable, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace with extra cuddles, I'll treat them like part of my own family! I work full-time but have a hybrid schedule, working remotely three days a week and in the office only two days. This allows me to spend most of my week at home and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pets. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away! My home has a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, fresh air, and play. I have two friendly German Shepherds who love having furry friends around, but I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. If you prefer, I can keep my dogs completely separate from yours and provide a quiet, comfortable space just for your pup. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine or helps them feel secure. I follow your instructions closely, respect your pet’s boundaries, and make sure they receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and at home while giving you peace of mind!
“Jesaun was so extremely friendly and flexible with us. We ended up needing extremely last minute care for our dog and he was able to help us out and even went out of his way to pick her up for us. He was great at taking care of our dog, sent pictures and updates, and made sure she got lots of exercise. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Sam was fantastic. Extremely sweet, open, prepared, and passionate about caring for Winter. Made it easy to leave her for the first time. Anybody’s dog is in good hands with Sam.”


About: I have taken care of neighborhood dogs since I was 10 years old. I have done walks as well as overnight sitting. I have two childhood dogs that live with my parents. One maltipoo and one medium golden doodle!! Please note I can NOT pick up or drop off unless you are willing to compensate for the Ubers. I am a five minute walk to campus and have frequent breaks throughout my day to come back home to care for your furry friend! I also have a roommate who has an opposite schedule so chances are someone will be home with your fur baby most of the time! The longest we would be away is about three hours. There is a large grassy field behind the apartment complex where I can take them on walks, potty breaks, and play fetch! I do not have any other animals in the apartment.
“Christine takes very good care of my Winnie. She's reliable and communicates all the things you want to know along w pictures. I've had Winnie stay with her multiple times and will rebook in the future.”

“Emily did a great job at watching Luna while I was away for the week. My only advice would be to maybe send more pictures or updates but Luna seemed happy enough when I picked her up so I know that she had a nice time. Would recommend and use again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood, whether my own, or for friends, family, and neighbors. I will treat your sweet dog or cat as my own. I can go on long or short walks, can administer medications, can play or provide sweet loving attention to your fur babies. I work part-time, so I’m happy to be at your home or taking care of your dog/cat before 9 and after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. The other days of the week/weekend I can be there as often as you’d like, for as long as you’d like. I can walk dogs for as long as you need, we can work out a schedule that works best. My yard is partially fenced, so I fully intend to watch your dog during outdoor time if you are not one to use a lead. My house is 3-stories so perfect for any size animal. At the client’s home, I will follow your instructions as close as possible, and can provide a safe and loving presence. The only caveat is my house has 2 cats, so we must be sure the the visiting dog is safe with cats.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From the age of five all the way through my undergrad years, my home was always full of pets — dogs, cats, fish, lizards, you name it — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. That experience started hands-on and early: when I was nine, I helped deliver my dog’s litter of puppies. Today I share my life with my dog, Ollie, whom I raised myself from the day we brought him home from the breeder as a puppy. Knowing a dog from puppyhood — the training, the routines, the little quirks — has given me a lot of patience and a good instinct for what each individual animal needs. The services I offer: Dog walking — A safe, leashed walk at the pace and distance that suits your dog, with plenty of sniff time, potty breaks, and fresh water when we get back. I’ll always let you know how the walk went. Drop-in visits — Feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, medication if needed, and real one-on-one time for play, cuddles, or just company so your pet isn’t alone all day. I’ll tidy up any messes and double-check doors and gates before I leave. House sitting — Overnight care in your own home, where your pet is most comfortable. I keep their normal routine intact — meals, walks, bedtime, all of it — and keep your home secure and tidy while you’re away. My availability: I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care fits naturally into my day instead of being squeezed around a commute. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week — mornings, midday, afternoons, and evenings — and I’m able to accommodate both recurring bookings and last-minute requests. Because I’m home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and plenty of time, not a rushed fifteen minutes between meetings. My own daily rhythm with Ollie already revolves around walks and playtime, so your pet slots right into a routine I genuinely look forward to. What you can count on: I know that trusting someone with your pet — and often your home — is a big deal, and I never take that lightly. I show up when I say I will, follow your instructions closely, and send photos and updates during every service so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a happy dog at the end of a good walk or a cat that finally decides you’re worth sitting next to. I’d love to give your pet that kind of care while you’re away — and I’m always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your pet can get comfortable with me before booking. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to work around. I can accommodate walks, drop in visits, and house sitting throughout the week in the morning, midday, afternoon, or evening. I am also able to respond to last minute or recurring requests. Since I am home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and stay close to their normal routine, whether that means a lunchtime walk, a couple of check ins, or overnight care in your home. My own dog Ollie keeps me on a steady rhythm of walks and playtime, so fitting your pet into that flow is easy and something I genuinely enjoy. Because I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting, most of my care takes place in your home and neighborhood, and I treat both with real respect. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, follow safe routes, pay attention to weather and pavement temperature, and stay focused on their comfort and body language. For drop in visits, I follow your instructions closely including feeding, fresh water, medications, potty breaks, litter boxes, and plenty of attention and play. I always double check doors, gates, and locks before I leave. For house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible in their own familiar space, keep your home secure and tidy, and treat it with the same care I give my own. Throughout every service, I send photos and updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable, and I reach out quickly if anything ever seems off. Trust is the foundation of this work, and I never take it for granted.
“Brad is awesome! He took extra special care of our Stevie while we were away. She gets a little anxious so he made sure to play with her lots, send us tons of updates and pictures, and even made her chicken when she wouldn’t eat. He’s the best! He has watched her a couple times and we will continue to ask him in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swissvale
Valerie took such great care of our Fredo! This was our first time boarding our puppy, so we were a little nervous, but we quickly felt at ease seeing how much he was enjoying himself and knowing he was in good hands. Valerie was so kind and made sure she knew his routine before welcoming him into her home. She kept us updated throughout the day with the best photos and videos! She took him to the park and even sent him home with a toy he fell in love with during his stay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave him and will definitely be booking with her again!

Responsive, caring , kind and supportive sitter. My dog developed some allergies and began coughing when I left my dog with Chris. Chris went out of his way to help Pluto feel better. He even picked up medicine’s for Pluto. Cuddled him and gave him loads of love. He was constantly updating us and kept us in loop and ensured we didn’t take stress while we were away. Deeply appreciated his kindness towards Pluto. Thank you Chris 🙏Highly recommended! 10 stars !

Martin was a perfect person for my two dogs. They haven’t stayed away from home before. He was so patient with them and took time out to win Maggie over! They got walked, played, got groomed and mingled with his dogs. Picture of them looked like they all lived there.He made them feel like one of his family. Thanks Martin. We’ll be back!

Daniel did a wonderful job with our golden retriever. Although he had never spent time with our dog, Daniel understood what our dog craves (petting!) and what he really enjoys (playing with other dogs). Daniel’s dogs were great playmates to our dog. Also house very clean, a fenced in back yard and great communication. We will use Daniel again.

Mikaela was great! She took in our pup at the last minute due to a family emergency and was so flexible, kind and communicative. She took the time to look over my dog’s profile and had follow up questions for me at drop off. I really appreciated that attention to detail and I can tell my dog was very well cared for!

Pam was so friendly to me and, evidently, to my dog! She was understanding of his little quirks and helped him adjust to her house. Also, I didn't know how long he would need to stay, and she was very flexible and easy-going about extending his time. I wouldn't hesitate to call on her again.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
