“This is the second time Lauren has taken care of cooper (both times on short notice) and I’m happy we have someone we can trust when we go out of town to take care of our fur baby! She’s attentive and sends pictures to us, keeping us up to date on how he’s eating and just doing in general. Definitely recommend lauren to take care of your fur babies! ?”

About: I have experience working with many types of animals, including reptiles, cats, dogs, small mammals, amphibians, and birds. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and live with many of these animals, which has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’m currently a college student and work part-time during the weekdays, so weekends would be the best time for me to provide pet sitting. I’m happy to offer reliable and attentive care for your pets during that time. I always make pet safety and comfort my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they have a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give plenty of exercise and playtime, and make sure they receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow any specific instructions for medications, routines, or special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

“Thank you Kathleen! I had a last minute change of plans and needed someone for my dog Truffle. Within hours, Kathleen stopped over and made sure Truff was let out, walked and has food and water before she left. I felt so much better after she was there. Appreciate the help! Truffle looked happy as well. :)”

About: To put it simply, caring for animals is my life's passion; I would love to take care of your pet like they're my own. I am a highly experienced career pet care professional, currently working at Kitty Co Cat Rescue, with prior experience working at Fido and Friends. I provide the highest level of compassionate care, with a deep understanding of animal behavior and the importance of providing patience and love while caring for animals. I have hands-on experience supporting daily pet care, kennel sanitation, and medication routines. I am trained in administering oral medications, transdermal medications (for cats only), fluids, temperature checks, vaccines, oxygen support, and breathing treatments. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability for pet care. I am available for overnight pet sitting primarily on weekends. I am highly responsible and detail-oriented when it comes to pet and home care. My professional training in veterinary support allows me to provide the highest level of safety for your animal

“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”

Ashley J.

“Kassandra did a wonderful job taking care of my dog for the weekend. She sent multiple updates and pictures over the time spent with him. She shows a lot of care and attention!”

About: Hi, I am Mamie (I have gone by Mamie since birth but am technically named Mary) and I am a lifelong pet person, and professional sitter. I am relatively new to Rover specifically, but am in my 40's and have cared for other people's pets for over 15 years, both here in Pittsburgh and in Seattle where I am originally from. I am fully privately insured for pet sitting and dog walking and carry broadened property damage coverage, animal bailee coverage and veterinary reimbursement coverage. I do two check ins a day with lots of pictures, and am a quick responder to messages (my average response time is 6 min). My most consistent feedback is that i am very communicative and professional, and that owners feel secure and never worry about their pets well-being when they are with me! My mother was a vet tech and I grew up rescuing many animals, and continued that tradition into adulthood, so I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations I work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area from about 7am-3pm mon-thursday, so will not be available in the home or for potty breaks during those hours. The absolute longest I would leave a pet during a house-sitting is 8 hours on those days, but quite often it's only 4-6 hours that i am working. All other outings/errands would be less than four hours, tops, but usually only about an hour. I am comfortable with more or less any pet, from rodents to lizards and I am not squirmish about even the creepy crawlies and slithery noodles. I can and have given almost every kind of medication there is, including subcutaneous injections, and am comfortable doing so with care and compassion and confidence. I am clean, responsible, and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, and you can get a feel for my vibe and professionalism at that time, but I am sure you will like me and feel comfortable having me in your home. As a housekeeper I am used to going into strangers homes and having a high level of integrity and care for their space and belongings. I also am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible, and will clean litter boxes daily and change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I work as a housekeeper from 7am-3pm mon-thursday around the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have multiple dogs who need round the clock supervision and you book me at least three weeks before the sitting start date, than we could work that out and I could block out my housekeeping schedule for that time and just be available for the sitting job (my rates will be increased in this situation as I am priced for my current availability, not constant care and being unable to make my normal wages during the sit). In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I will spend lots of time loving and socializing your pets, and I set alarms and try to keep potty breaks frequent to avoid accidents and less stress.

“Maria was wonderful, my Maca enjoyed her walk.”

“Thanks so much for walking Turtle! Even in cold weather, Tiffany made sure Turtle got his exercise and bathroom break! Very grateful and will reach out again!”

About: I have always been an animal person. I love all animals but dogs are my favorite domestic animal. We have had dogs and kept dogs in our family since I was 4 years old. I've worked at a vet hospital and with doggy daycares. I am not intimidated by dogs who are a little uncertain or shy at first and I truly believe that dogs pick up on my doggy loving vibe. I have two girls 5 and 10, who both love dogs like I do, they are at school during the day (camp in the summer) but the are very knowledgable when it comes to the proper way to handle dogs/puppies and when to back off from a dog that might be scared or uncomfortable. They have been plenty of dogs-all sizes, I included a few pictures of them in my profile as well. I also have a 2 year old Shih Tzu named Fancy, she is adorable and great with other dogs, we like to go for long walks during the day. We can't wait to meet and make new furry friends. If for any reason you feel that your dog should not be around other dogs or children, please let me know and arrangements can be made depending on the service requested. Thanks for your time!

“Ericka was such a huge help and was so responsive. We look forward to working with her again when we are in Pittsburgh. Thank you so much for your help!”

About: I took excellent care of my dog who just passed away at the age of 16. I walked him every day. I gave him lots of affection and care. I currently do not have a job. I’ll have plenty of time to give your dog love and affection. My dog lived a long healthy life. I can give them plenty of care by playing with them and petting them. I can also take them for walks when they need that.

About: I live on an acre of land with more than half of it being yard With more than half of it being Space. I am able to create a bond with animals by giving them affection, attention, and treats. For walking appointments, my schedule is flexible between 10 AM and 7 PM But I’m also available to to offer overnight boarding care and check-in. I like to keep them active, playing, and happy so they could have the best experience I have to offer. I also like to keep the clients informed,and send them pictures. I like to make sure your pet is in my sight so I could keep them safe.

“Great communication, sent lots of pictures. Would use again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was old enough to walk. I currently care for my own Husky-shepherd mix who I’ve had for his whole 9 years of life. I’m not afraid of any size or breed of dog and I’m certainly well versed in the high energy breed. Caring for dogs is second nature to me as I’ve never known life without one. I have genuine love and compassion for animals and treat every pet as if it’s my own. I also rely on pet sitting services for my trips and can empathize with the stress of finding someone trustworthy- they aren’t just pets they are family! I’ll be sure they get the family experience. I’m currently working part time as a hairstylist, I just moved here 3 months ago and am slowly rebuilding a clientele. This allows for pockets of free time during the work week as well as some weekdays off so I can be available to check on your pets while you’re working or check in on them during a weekend trip away. I am well versed in pet safety and have plenty of experience in creating a safe and welcoming environment so you and your pet can feel at ease.

“Kristin is so great! She sends us lots of updates when she takes Jets on walks, she has been so helpful with us getting Jet adjusted to his new house. We will continue to use Kristin for walks! :)”

About: Animals bring so much joy and personality into our lives. I previously had a mid-sized Doberman mix named Roxy who recently passed away. I loved taking her on walks and runs and seeing how excited she would get when it was time to go outside. I trained Roxy to play frisbee when she was about a year old and worked with her on many basic commands over the years. Spending time with animals has always been something I enjoy. I also love cats and think they’re incredibly adorable. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to continue caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to plan my day around pet care. This means I’m often available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins outside of my meeting hours. Because I can work from anywhere, I also have the flexibility to travel and provide house sitting when needed. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to make sure their pets’ routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship—fit smoothly into my daily schedule. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and reliable environment for pets while respecting the owner’s home and routines. Since I don’t offer boarding, all care takes place in the client’s home where pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I carefully follow the instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications if needed, and daily routines. During visits or house sitting, I make sure pets have fresh water, proper exercise, attention, and a clean space. I’m also very tidy and respectful of the home environment. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to help pets feel relaxed and well cared for until their owners return.

About: Hi! I’m Angelina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals — honestly, I prefer pets over people sometimes haha! I’ve had my fair share of pets growing up (basically a zoo at home😅), and currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I’m very experienced around furry friends 🐾 I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always try my best to match their energy — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also make communication a priority and will always send photo updates of your furry friend so you can feel comfortable and connected while away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I currently work full-time, but I’m typically available in the evenings and weekends! I always make pet care a priority and will make sure your furry friends get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’m very communicative and reliable, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos🐾 I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home, so I’m very familiar with managing multiple pets and understanding different temperaments and needs. I always prioritize safe introductions, supervision, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and stress-free.
