Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ben Avon
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ben Avon
“Patrick and Emily were fabulous! Zeke loved it there. They provided pics and updates and took very good care of our puppy while we were away! Highly recommended”
“Marloh loved staying with Amy! She was well taken care of and had a great time! She was super tired from playing so much with her new friends! Amy sends many photos and has great communication! We'd definitely recommend her for your baby and we'll certainly be using her again.”
“Eronda was kind and personable. She clearly LOVES dogs and took good care of our mini goldendoodle. She even made her chicken and rice to eat when our pup got too anxious to eat her kibble. She took photos and updated us on our girl. She sent our girl home freshly bathed. I’d recommend her!”
“I had a truly wonderful experience with her taking care of Loki. She followed all of his feeding instructions carefully and maintained his routine very well. His meal timings were consistent, and I could tell he was eating comfortably and being looked after with attention. She also managed his walk times and daily activity in a very structured way. From the updates I received, it was clear that Loki was getting enough playtime, exercise, and rest throughout the day, which really helped him stay balanced and happy. What stood out most was the level of warmth and care she showed. The photos and videos she shared regularly showed Loki playing, interacting, and even making new friends. He looked very comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely happy in her home. In fact, the happiness and peace he was feeling were so clearly reflected in his face that it brought tears to my eyes. It truly felt like she made her home feel like a safe, peaceful space for him. Overall, I felt a strong sense of trust and comfort knowing Loki was with her. She didn’t just follow instructions—she genuinely cared for him, and it reflected in his behavior, his happiness, and his overall well-being. She is extremely reliable, caring, and truly excellent at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
“Mary and her family took amazing care of our dog while we traveled. She updated us with photos and he couldn’t wait to get out of the car when I dropped him off. We absolutely recommend her for watching your fur babies!”
“Wonderful visit! Luna had a great time with Trish and Otis and I’m sure can’t wait to go back to all the fun and love. Many thanks for making my first trip away from Luna stress-free!”
“Denise is amazing! My pup was so happy and loved. Her and her husband took great care of my dog and kept me up to date on him throughout everyday with plenty of videos and pictures. Best part is he came home exhausted which is always a great sign that he had so much fun. We will be booking again!”
“Willa had a wonderful time staying with Megan, her family, and their dog. She always takes a little while to settle in and Megan and her family were patient and kind, letting her approach at her own pace. By the end of her stay, she was romping around, playing, and totally comfortable. Megan communicated clearly and sent us photos to help us miss Willa a little less. We’re very glad to have found Megan’s family to sit for Willa!!”
“Amazing! Tia is very sweet from the moment you meet her. She treated my dogs as her own. She sent pictures and videos during the stay, and they were happy when I picked them up.”
“Victoria was great with Buddy. Very responsive and timely communication, provided daily updates. She is clearly a very seasoned pet caregiver and I would book with her again.”
“Damara was wonderful! She was very caring and thoughtful with Theo. From the pictures and communication I could tell that Theo enjoyed his time with Demara and her daughter. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“IINCREDIBLE PET SITTERS!!! By far, top 1% !!! My first choice always! I have a 12 yr. old large dog with medical issues. Nelia always keeps me updated and gives him his medicine as scheduled She follows my instructions exactly all the time. Most dependable and does not over react to his medical issues. Their 3 young children keep him entertained and the entire family gives him lots of love. Hershey LOVES the long walks through the neighborhood multiple times per day. Fenced in backyard with real grass is a bonus.. I always have peace of mind when I am away and he is under their care.”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“Mike is one of the most genuine dog sitters I’ve ever trusted my dog with. My dog enjoys the outdoors so I’m glad he took her to the park, on walks, and on an adventure hike. I would absolutely recommend him!”

“Katelyn was a wonderful sitter for our two cats and rabbit! She provided meaningful updates and made being away from our crew a little easier. 10/10 - no notes! 😊”

Nikki was very amenable to several changes in schedule with no problems. She will be the first we call the next time a sitter is needed and I know Annie and Blu look forward to seeing her again!”
“I could tell right away that Dana was dependable, reliable and can be counted on. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my two cats, that provided me the peace of mind that I needed to enjoy my vacation week. I was so happy to find that she also truly is kind, caring, and loves animals, and that my shy cats warmed up to her immediately! I would absolutely recommend Dana.”
“Abby did daily check ins for our cat and took very nice care of him! She communicated updates and sent photos every day. He is also typically pretty shy but seemed to warm up to her quickly. I’m happy he was in such good hands with her and we will absolutely be reaching out to her for care in the future! Thank you again Abby!!”
“Megan was amazing.... she fed my cats while we were away in Florida. She even brought in our mail for us. We loved the picture she sent us and knowing that our cats were fed & happy.”
About: Cats were my first love. My family adopted 3 Siamese cats when I was 11 years old. I took 2 to college with me. I've rescued four cats since, three of whom live with me. I frequently visit cat lounges to give love to many rescues. Having four pets, I have abstained from adopting more. But I love being around as many cats as possible!
About: I’ve always been an animal person since I was a kid, but cats turned out to be my favorite. I started cat sitting on and off from 2021-2026. I haven’t had my own cat yet but when I was cat sitting, I took care of them like they were my own. They felt like family to me. During my journey I learned how to groom them properly, keep them entertained, and just tend to their daily schedules such as eating, sleeping, and exploring.
“Tiffany did a FANTASTIC job with our kitties. One of my kitties has FLUTD, and she was knowledgeable of the disease and made sure they had fresh water daily and added water to their food. I loved getting all her photos, and I felt confident that my kitties were receiving the very best care. She's very trustworthy, and I will definitely use Tiffany again!!”

About: I have been dog sitting for friends for 15years. I have experience with all types of dogs from French Bulldogs to German Shepherds to King Charles Cavaliers. I treat each dog like they were my own and give them the best care possible while their owners are away. I also have experience dealing with smaller dogs that are aggressive with other dogs I work full time from home so I am able to give the dog any attention it needs and will be able to take them outside frequently. I will treat your pet like it is my own whlie they are with me. I have no issues with the dog sitting on furniture or sleeping on the bed. I will request that you provide a crate for when I have to leave the home
“This is the first time I used Rover for dog sitting, and I absolutely hit the jackpot with Greg!!! I highly recommend him to anyone in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh for dog-related services. He is very friendly, caring, highly flexible, and trustworthy, and he maintained excellent communication/was highly responsive during the week that he watched my lab, Lily. Not a single concern crossed my radar leaving Lily with Greg for doggy day care. I knew she was in good hands and would be looked after well.”
“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”
“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”
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.

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.

About: I don’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had with a dog was with a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite my lack of experience I am willing to learn. My love for animals in general is why I am open to learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.
