“Buster had a blast with the dogs in the yard. He was all doggie smiles when we picked him up! On top of that, I booked for the wrong day and Richard was nothing but nice about it, and completely accommodating. We’ll be back when we come through Pittsburgh again.”


“We’re so happy to have met Joe (and Zip!), Phoebe was well cared for and had a great time. Thanks Joe for treating her so well and for sharing updates and photos while she was with you!!”


“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”



“As always, Adrienne was great. Bosa had the right mix of activity and time with other dogs, and was returned to us happy as a clam. Thanks again Adrienne.”


“I cannot say enough good things about Marissa and her husband!!! Highly recommended! They were responsive, kind and always in constant communication with me! They treated our buddy like a King! He was sad to leave at the end of the first day and happy to go back the second day. He is a good boy, but can be temperamental. He has not spent much time around unfamiliar people or other dogs, but they welcomed him with open arms, sent updates and took the most amazing pictures! And now he has new buddies! I will definitely use them again!”


“My dog, Franklin, had such a wonderful time staying with Sara! She took great care of him and sent us so many great photos of him playing. I know he had fun because he was exhausted when he got home. I would definitely look to book with Sara again in the future!”


“Shannon and Stephen were wonderful with Finn! They were very flexible with our drop-off times, and Finn obviously had a great time playing with their puppies. They made sure to send lots of adorable photo and video updates of Finn having a blast. Highly recommend!”


“Hannah took good care of my puppy. We were sightseeing in the area and she took care of Charly for two days. She sent updates and pics throughout the day of outside activities and his daily water/food intake. Will definitely use her again if we are visiting the area!”


“Barrett really was amazing. We booked him last minute (less than 2 hours before we needed him) so we could take in a Pirates game while passing thru Pittsburgh, and he was quite gracious. Our Tucker is nearly 15 and a bit of a nervous Nellie. Barrett took it all in stride. I highly recommend Barrett”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a sweet three-year-old chihuahua mix, and I truly enjoy meeting and bonding with new dogs. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. I live on Pittsburgh’s Northside with a small, secure fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor fun. Since I work from home full time, I can give your pet plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small fenced-in yard in Pittsburgh’s Northside for safe outdoor breaks, plus I love getting out for longer walks with my dog, at least once a day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I also have a baby gate to limit access to stairs for small dogs when needed. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to give them the attention, care, and love they deserve.

“Liz was so great with daisy! She watched her all day for me and even took some pictures! She’s so nice and very accommodating. I’ve already booked to board my dog with her in a few weeks. Definitely recommend!!”



“Poppy had a great time with Pam. She was close, sent pictures, and cared for my dog who struggles with anxiety before getting comfortable! I would definitely recommend Pam!”


“Abby and Jason are wonderful and took time to meet and greet the day prior since my pup can be shy. I wanted to find a place our puppy would be socializing and active while we had family (dog free) plans all day. They walked her, did a puzzle and the pups played great! Wall-E their pup is adorable and was so good with our dog. We definitely recommend them for doggy daycare! Especially for a shy puppy and nervous dog parent.”


“Krista was amazing. She came out to meet Jake and me, got to know him and helped him adjust. Jake suffers some separation anxiety and Krista and her dog made him feel so comfortable and Jake had an amazing experience. Thank you Krista!!!”


About: Overnight / day care: - 2 to 3 walks a day, around 30 minutes - at home care for 8 hours during the work week - spacious house with fenced in yard I grew up with three dogs, caring for them wrapped into my day to day routine growing up. Friends, family, and even coworkers have asked me to pet sit, allowing me to enjoy the perks of pet ownership whilst taking a hiatus on personal ownership currently. I also currently volunteer at the local shelter, which has provided me ample experience on how to manage different types of dogs with varying temperaments. I have a flexible work schedule, being able to pick and choose days/hours I work. My husband and I live quite an active lifestyle, going for daily runs/walks, and can incorporate your pet exercising needs however required. I love love love playing with dogs so rest assured your pet will be mentally and physically stimulated ! I live in a three story home with a fenced in yard with my husband. Your pet will have free rein in our entire home and have ample of outdoor space as well! If staying at a clients home I will be very respectful of your personal space and house rules !

“Matt and Emma are amazing! My two dogs stayed with them for day care and absolutely loved it. They got along great with their dogs and came home happy and exhausted. Matt was great about working around my work schedule, communication, and frequent updates. So glad we found them and we can’t wait to book our next day care session with them!”


“My pup Porter did a combination of doggy daycare and boarding with Jocelyn over a couple weeks while on a work trip to Pittsburgh. Communication was great, she was flexible with time, sent pics, and my dog Porter clearly liked going to her house daily. We will definitely book her again! Thanks so much!”

Upper Lawrenceville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nova had a great time at doggy daycare with Matthew and his two pups! We loved getting updates and pictures throughout the day, and how easy it is to communicate with Matthew. Our dog is usually nervous in new settings but she didn't even look back and settled in right away when we dropped her off. Thanks for making her feel at home!

Shannon and Stephen were wonderful with Finn! They were very flexible with our drop-off times, and Finn obviously had a great time playing with their puppies. They made sure to send lots of adorable photo and video updates of Finn having a blast. Highly recommend!

I’m visiting Pittsburgh and needed a sitter for my dog so I could get errands done. I was so lucky to find Ella! She was so close we walked to her house. She greeted Teddy with a treat and although he was hesitant he went easily with her. I got my running around done and Ella even sent me a picture of Teddy relaxing with her on the couch. It put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely use her again when I’m back in town.

Breanna was wonderful! can’t recommend her enough! she took wonderful care of our anxious senior dog and sent a lot of wonderful updates! she was incredibly communicative and considerate of all of his needs! We will definitely be using her again in the future
