“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Mark was fantastic! He kept us up to date on how our dog was doing during the stay with him. Mark was very kind and you can just tell that Mark enjoys his job and loves animals very much. We will certainly use him again!”
“I have tried another local, highly recommended boarding place. My dogs would come home traumatized. I went on a search for a new place that would show patience and love towards my dogs, as my dogs do not trust people quickly. Christina and Daniel meet that requirement. From the get-go, they showed the extra patience and love towards my dogs. Christina & Daniel were very good at sending updates and pictures of the dogs. I could see from the photos that my dogs were happy. They were very good at responding to my questions, which gave me peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Christina & Daniel. This is my new favorite boarding place for my dogs.”
“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”
“Melissa is an angel! She is incredible with all dogs and so accommodating and kind, even with some very short notice help we needed. Our senior dog loved her and her yard, I cannot recommend her enough, we are so happy we have found her for future sitting.”
“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.”
“We took our two boys while traveling and they really enjoyed their time and I could tell they quickly warmed up to Michelle and her husband!!! My younger dog has anxiety and is nervous around men but he really bonded with them and seemed so relaxed!! They were happy when we arrived to pick them up but still went to get pets from them while chatting. She sent pictures every day and I could tell they really enjoyed their backyard every day which is their favorite place to be at home!! Their communication was great and I felt relaxed to have such a great sitter and I will definitely be using them again whenever we travel!!!”
“Jennifer and her husband were absolutely amazing with Baby May! We were looking for a sitter on short time and she took him in right away! She found the best ways to help him get comfortable. She asked for his meal plan and took time to prepare his meals with love. Baby May enjoyed time with their beautiful furbabies. She offered resources we could use to improve his future and life as a whole! I highly recommend them to care for your pet!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve had big dogs and little dogs. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and I foster through Cross Your Paws Rescue. I love dogs more than most people. I have dog sat in my own house as well as family and friends homes. I promise to care for your dog(s) as if they were my own! I currently work full time but my husband works from home so someone is almost always at home with the dogs. When we aren’t home, it’s only for dinner or a quick grocery run. We don’t like leaving our dogs for more than a couple hours. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs that love to play! I also sometimes have foster dogs in my home but they are always fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered and always are dog friendly.
“This was the first time I took Josie to stay with Lisa. She had so much fun and loved staying with Lisa. I knew Josie was comfortable when Lisa said she followed her everywhere.”
“I can’t begin to say how pleased we were with Janet. Tyson is old with anxiety, takes daily medication and is a picky eater. Tyson took to Janet almost immediately and she had little to no issues with giving him his meds and getting him to eat. You can tell how much she genuinely cared for Tyson and making him comfortable. Her house is dog friendly and has a gated porch. She has a beautiful big yard for walks and potty breaks. Janet sent daily texts and pictures to us reassuring that he was happy and safe. We can’t thank her enough.”
“Debbie and Adam were amazing! So happy I found them to pet sit my two boys. I received multiple pictures a day and could tell they were having a blast. Highly highly recommend them for pet sitting! Definitely will be booking with them again.”
“Pablo had a great time with Jessica, Theo and the kids! They kept me up to date on how he was doing and he came back tired, so I know he had a good vacation! :) Pablo is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“Maria takes great care of our golden Bella! The updates and photos are always appreciated and give us peace of mind that Bella is also having fun while we are away! The treat bag she sent home with Bella was such a cute personal touch and an example of going above and beyond what is expected!”
“The girls LOVED their time at Kacy's. They were passed out for nearly a day after they got home. Kacy has two sweet pups of her own that played my my kids the entire time. Will be calling in Kacy again. Thank you!!!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing!! As soon as I got there i knew that Rocky was going to be well taken care of, loved and treated like their own. She was very welcoming, reassuring and kind. Will definitely book again!”

“Jocelyn did an amazing job caring for our two new bunnies. She was very flexible with last minute changes to their setup, and provided a super detailed update once she was finished checking in on them. You can tell she is an animal lover, and I'm hoping we can continue to use her in the future to care for our pets.”
About: I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability 7 days a week for drop ins and walks! All of my employees at my former full time job took advantage of the opportunity to bring their dog to work with them. I spent most days at work caring for my employees' fur babies in the office while they repair vehicles. It gives them the chance to spend time with their pups even when they're away from home 8+ hours per day. I have experience with breeds of all sizes, including massive breeds such as great danes. I often tell people "My life revolves around cars, trucks, & dogs." I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability! I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies and give them the love & exercise that they deserve! I currently don’t offer any services in my own home due to my own dogs’ territorial personalities, but I look forward to being welcomed into my clients homes!
“I was nervous to leave my two cats alone for a long weekend but Molly was great with both of them. Even my shy girl came around to her by the end of the weekend! From the meet and greet through the entire weekend I was away, Molly was great with communication and taking care of both my fur babies. Will definitely rebook with her for future trips!”
“The 1st time I had to leave my cats, Pookie and Ziggy, with a Pet-Sitter. Sandy was PROFESSIONAL, PUNCTUAL, and stayed and played with my Furbabies. Sandy sent me pictures each day, which put my mind at ease. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sandy!!! I will use her again!!!😻😻😻”

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals my entire life. I have been a pet sitter for many friends and neighbors over the years and had my own canine companion for 10 years. She passed away in November of 2023. Animals deserve to be loved and treated like family. I promise that your dogs will be treated very well and that they will truly enjoy their “vacation” at my home. It’s difficult to leave your “loved ones” in the care of others and I know that feeling. Rest assured that they will be cared for and spoiled to the best of my ability! I am a behavioral therapist who works with children and families. I have a hybrid job which means that I work from home doing Telehealth services and I also see clients in person at times. I am home for most of the day and this worked perfectly when I cared for my late dog, Arwen. I do not have any pets currently. I have an elevated deck that is only accessible from the house. It is surrounded and my dog loved to spend time out there basking in the sun. I have a yard but it is not fenced in. My neighborhood is quiet and very dog friendly.
“I brought my two fur babies to Pittsburgh, PA to be with me while I attended my class reunion. I found Ms. Carol on Rover. Immediately when I saw her face I knew she was the one I could trust my babies with. Ms. Carol, I’m so pleased to have met you. My babies were safe, looked after as if they were hers, attended to when needed, but most importantly, welcomed into her home by her fur babies.”

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.

“It was Riley's first road trip to Philly (from GA). While his humans cheered on the Temple football team, Brittani provided excellent care and showed Riley around! She even took professional-grade photos of his walks! And, Riley enjoyed playing with her fur baby. If Riley's in town for any other home Temple football game, he'll be asking to go to Brittani's!!”
“Christy watched my dog for daycare for a week and was great! My dog is deaf and blind so it’s difficult finding someone I trust with her, but Christy was wonderful and sent lots of photos each day.”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!

About: Hi there! I'm a passionate dog lover who believes every pup deserves the best care and a whole lot of love. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a knack for understanding their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, or just lounging on the couch, I love spending quality time with furry friends. I'm all about positive vibes and creating a fun, safe environment for dogs to thrive. Iv recently move to Pittsburgh from Erie Pa, so I don’t have many friends nor plans. This give me plenty of free time to take care of your fur babies In my home, if I offer boarding or daycare services, I ensure that the environment is safe, clean, and comfortable for the pets. I provide them with a designated space where they can relax and have their own belongings. Regular exercise and playtime are essential, so I make sure to engage them in activities that suit their energy levels and preferences. Feeding schedules are followed according to the owner's instructions, and fresh water is always available. I also maintain open communication with the pet owners, providing regular updates on their well-being. When caring for pets in the client's home, I prioritize maintaining a routine that is familiar and consistent for the pets. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any specific care needs. I spend quality time with the pets, providing companionship, playtime, and exercise. I also take care of any necessary grooming, such as brushing or bathing, if requested. Additionally, I make sure to keep the home environment clean and tidy, respecting the owner's space and belongings. In both cases, I ensure that the pets receive plenty of love, attention, and affection. I am committed to their safety, happiness, and well-being, and I strive to create a positive and nurturing environment for them to thrive in.
About: I've been taking care of pets for well over 20 years. I have experience with cats and dogs. Pets are naturally drawn to me. I have a passion for making them feel loved and enjoyed. I do work part-time, but I can accommodate schedule requests. I personally take care of my 3 cats on a daily basis. I have plenty of time to work your schedule alongside mine. I will follow any instructions given to me regarding how to take care of your pet inside and outside of your home. Your comfortability and theirs's is my top priority.
About: As someone who is always trying to live vicariously through dog owners (my parents were allergic), I have been a reliable and eager puppy and cat sitter since I was young - for friends, coworkers, neighbors, and extended family. I have experience and am comfortable feeding and exercising large and small dogs, puppies and seniors. I have always had cats, and have plenty of experience with administering oral medicines and asthma treatment. I am comfortable with cleaning messes, longterm stays, overnights, and honestly whatever else is needed during your time away. I would love to send pictures and updates of your pets as much as you would like them - your pets become main characters in my life within minutes of meeting them! I am your introverted, nurturing childless millennial that treats every animal with endless attention and love. As a speech-language pathologist, I also think that understanding animal communication and respecting boundaries are key. If your pet is showing me they need space, I will listen to them and make sure they are well fed, their needs are met and a soft presence is near. If they are showing me that they need more love and attention, I will stay and give them more love and attention! I can’t wait to meet your furry family. Right now, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I’m a teacher on summer break and transitioning into a teletherapy position, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the day. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible, so I make it a priority to learn each pet’s normal schedule, preferences, personality, and needs before their owner leaves. In a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes and outdoor areas as needed, administer medications when required, and make sure pets receive the exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship they have when you’re home. I pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being. As a speech-language pathologist, communication is a big part of my professional life, and I bring that same attentiveness to the animals in my care. I believe good pet care means respecting boundaries, recognizing needs, and responding appropriately to what an animal is communicating. I also love sending photos and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, loving environment and to care for your pets the same way I would hope someone would care for my own.

“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Mark was fantastic! He kept us up to date on how our dog was doing during the stay with him. Mark was very kind and you can just tell that Mark enjoys his job and loves animals very much. We will certainly use him again!”
“I have tried another local, highly recommended boarding place. My dogs would come home traumatized. I went on a search for a new place that would show patience and love towards my dogs, as my dogs do not trust people quickly. Christina and Daniel meet that requirement. From the get-go, they showed the extra patience and love towards my dogs. Christina & Daniel were very good at sending updates and pictures of the dogs. I could see from the photos that my dogs were happy. They were very good at responding to my questions, which gave me peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Christina & Daniel. This is my new favorite boarding place for my dogs.”
“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”
“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.”
“We took our two boys while traveling and they really enjoyed their time and I could tell they quickly warmed up to Michelle and her husband!!! My younger dog has anxiety and is nervous around men but he really bonded with them and seemed so relaxed!! They were happy when we arrived to pick them up but still went to get pets from them while chatting. She sent pictures every day and I could tell they really enjoyed their backyard every day which is their favorite place to be at home!! Their communication was great and I felt relaxed to have such a great sitter and I will definitely be using them again whenever we travel!!!”
“Jennifer and her husband were absolutely amazing with Baby May! We were looking for a sitter on short time and she took him in right away! She found the best ways to help him get comfortable. She asked for his meal plan and took time to prepare his meals with love. Baby May enjoyed time with their beautiful furbabies. She offered resources we could use to improve his future and life as a whole! I highly recommend them to care for your pet!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve had big dogs and little dogs. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and I foster through Cross Your Paws Rescue. I love dogs more than most people. I have dog sat in my own house as well as family and friends homes. I promise to care for your dog(s) as if they were my own! I currently work full time but my husband works from home so someone is almost always at home with the dogs. When we aren’t home, it’s only for dinner or a quick grocery run. We don’t like leaving our dogs for more than a couple hours. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs that love to play! I also sometimes have foster dogs in my home but they are always fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered and always are dog friendly.
“Pablo had a great time with Jessica, Theo and the kids! They kept me up to date on how he was doing and he came back tired, so I know he had a good vacation! :) Pablo is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“Maria takes great care of our golden Bella! The updates and photos are always appreciated and give us peace of mind that Bella is also having fun while we are away! The treat bag she sent home with Bella was such a cute personal touch and an example of going above and beyond what is expected!”
“The girls LOVED their time at Kacy's. They were passed out for nearly a day after they got home. Kacy has two sweet pups of her own that played my my kids the entire time. Will be calling in Kacy again. Thank you!!!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing!! As soon as I got there i knew that Rocky was going to be well taken care of, loved and treated like their own. She was very welcoming, reassuring and kind. Will definitely book again!”
“Raeann is a compassionate and caring person who showed great affection towards our 12 y/o girl. Would recommend her services and would like to use her services in the future.”
“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
