Highly-rated overnight sitters - Emsworth
“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”
“This was our first time using Rover and we’re so glad we found Amy! We met with her a couple of weeks before Max’s stay and she quickly put our minds at ease with how kind she is and you can tell how much she truly cares about the dogs she brings into her home. She explained how she would slowly introduce Max to the house and the other dogs which was nice to hear. During his stay we received daily updates and photos showing how our dog was fitting in. We could see he was having a great time! These updates were greatly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Max stay with Amy again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their dog.”
“Eronda was amazing with my puppy. She constantly sent pics of her playing and socializing with a cat and numerous dogs. My puppy seemed very happy when we picked her up. Eronda was in constant contact throughout our vacation. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“Nice clean home, secure clean yard to play. Trish is nice and accommodating. Zoey seemed happy and well cared for, with pictures throughout the stay. We would definitely use Trish again.”
“Megan and her family are delightful. I felt safe leaving nugget with them because since moment one she was charming, transparent and sweet. My best recommendation for the platform is to honestly confess that I will rebook if I ever need a sitter again. Nugget was so visibly happy”
“Denise is awesome! She is kind, communicative, and thoughtful, and provides a friendly and healthy environment for pups. Was great about sending updates and photos daily so I got to see how happy my dog was in her care. We’d love to book with Denise again.”
“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!”
“Mary and family made our pup and us feel so welcome! Our older pup got lots of attention, love and regular walks throughout the weekend as well as the company of sweet Bella. We would have no hesitation asking Mary and family to watch our pup again.”
“Tia did an amazing job looking after my puppy Milo!!! Milo had such a fun time playing with their family dog and she keep me updated throughout with the cutest pictures and videos. Highly recommend!!!! Will definitely be booking again!!”
“Kim was so accommodating with me. Willow was going to arrive around 2pm, then 4pm and then after 5pm as our drive and lunch stop took longer than expected. Willow is not used to other dogs since she is an only dog at home and can get quite stressed but she was great when I picked her up and Kim and her husband updated me with pictures with her on their laps and outside. She was always very prompt to respond. Nice big back yard which Willow loves. Overall, it was a great experience - way better than a kennel.”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Nelia and family once again were the best. Cashmere had a complex feeding and medication regimen to handle. I was out of the country and felt so relieved she was being cared for and loved.”
“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!”

“Alexis checked on my two cats once a day for a week. She spent a good amount of time with my cats and sent updates every day. My boys were well cared for and I will absolutely use Alexis again.”
“Kate did a great job taking care of my 2 cats, who warmed up to her quickly! She was so helpful giving one of them oral medication daily, was communicative, and kept my home tidy. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Return user ….Jake is the best!! Attention to detail and patience is his specialty. One cat is really shy but he always gets her to come around. Jake even provided details and pics of a water leak (as well as the cats).”
“Brianna did three drop-in visits while I was out of town for a week on vacation. Bob was happy when I got home, and his food and water were full! Brianna also got my mail and even checked on an appliance I’ve been having some issues with just for peace of mind. She’s fantastic 😁”
“Caitlyn was an excellent sitter for my two kitties. She responded quickly & was able to accommodate a last minute booking. Definitely would book again. Thanks Caitlyn! (Also the pictures were adorable!! ☺️)”
“On my recent trip, I was far from home in a different time zone, and was dealing with a lot of unanticipated challenges. I was so happy to receive Dana's frequent updates and to know that my two cats back home were being well cared for, healthy and happy! Dana goes above and beyond in making sure that my cats and my home are doing well in my absence. She provides a high level of care that allows me to leave home without worry - which I appreciate very much.”
“Taylor was totally awesome! She took extra steps to gain Tink's trust by meeting her where she was (even under a bush!) instead of expecting Tink to come to her. Taylor was on time with all scheduled visits and followed each with pictures, so I was able to relax knowing Tink was well cared for during my absence. If there were more than 5 stars, Taylor would still earn them all!”
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!
“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!!”
“Brianna is a favorite of our cat Whitney. She has helped us out twice now. Brianna was able to accommodate our last minute request to visit, feed, and play with our whit. Would definitely recommend Brianna.”
“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: 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.
“Shaina did such a great job of taking care of our eldery diabetic cat and making sure he wasn't alone. I appreciated all the updates from her. She made sure to keep us well-informed with how he was doing.”

Both of my sons are adults now so I have free time to focus my attention on your baby. Your baby will have my undivided attention. My property is fenced and I will accompany your baby outdoors. We can play fetch or simply keep each other company. I will do what it takes to make your baby comfortable and happy.
“Gregory was an awesome sitter! He was so easy to communicate with and was super laid back. He listened to my pups needs and made sure pup was happy. He has the sweetest dog (Zora) that I have ever met. I’m so glad I found Zora and Gregory. I’ve never seen my pup leave as happy as he did, this sit:)”
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

“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”
“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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.

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
About: I grew up with cats but have rescued many cats and dogs over the years. I've rescued kittens, adults, and senior animals alike. I have loved many pets through old age, administer medicine, and loved them beyond their last breath. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I am a teacher who is off in the summer time. My schedule is flexible through August. During the school year, I am available on the weekends. I have rescued many animals, helping them get acclimated to their new setting. I rescued a half-atarvwd kitten, keeping her in a separate room for months, giving her special care until she thrived. I have had senior pets and cared for a cat and dog through cancer, administering medicine. I have rescued a dog applying the 3-3-3 rule. I currently have a special needs cat who needs medicine twice a day.
“Emily was wonderful and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided! She was reliable, communicative, and my dog was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable with her. I had great peace of mind knowing that Roo was in great hands. I will happily rebook her in the future!”
“Jessica was a huge help for me with doing a drop in visit to give my English Setter a break as I’m at work. She was excellent with communication and using the Rover app for updates. I would definitely use Jessica again”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I have also managed dogs with severe anxiety and certain health issues. I am a college student so until May I am limited to weekends. After May, I will be available workdays and weekends during the day and at night. I have confident skills in understanding dog and cat language from past experiences.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats most my life and have cared for many friend’s and neighbor’s pets. I love dogs, cats, and even bunnies and will care for yours like they were my own. I have plenty of experience teaching my dogs tricks and good behavior along with giving them medicine and treatment when needed. I currently work part time and am a part time online grad student working on my masters degree from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On my days home I’d love a break to care for your pet or enjoy a nice walk together! I currently have no pets of my own and can come by to care for your pet whenever you may need. I work well with all pets big, small, young, and old as long as they are non-aggressive.
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.
About: I'm an experienced canine care giver. I've loved dogs all my life + I'll love your dogs like they're my own. My first dog was a black Lab named Maddy. Later I rescued a border collie/labrador mix named Sareena. I've cared for all kinds of dogs - high energy, big, tiny, sick, seniors + more. I recently retired and live with my dog, Sareena. She is a now a senior citizen (11 years) and still has daily walks. I am very flexible with my time. I have plenty of places for them to curl up, toys, treats as per your instructions. I have crates (if necessary), big front yard with lots of leads, great area for walking. Whether walking or staying in my home ... I am extremely punctual and reliable. I will always send you pictures and updates. You can count on me.
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I’m the friend people trust to take care of their dogs/cats while they go away. I’m adjustable to different breeds and needs. I will give them the attention and love they’re used to. I love going on walks so I will be just as excited to go! I am currently working from home, so I am flexible for different drop in and walking times. I am also able to accept last minute bookings if needed! I understand every furry friend is different and I am adaptable to learn their routine! When I am in your home I will do what is possible to make them feel happy and safe.
About: Caring for pets has always been part of my life, not just something I do, but something I truly love. I share my home with my big-hearted Golden Retriever Lucy Goose who brings joy, structure, and a lot of personality into my daily routine. Through her—and the many pets I’ve cared for—I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, medications, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also had the joy of hosting pets with special needs, recently including a vivacious little pug puppy with epilepsy. Providing a calm, consistent, and loving environment is something I take pride in. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection—just like one of my own. While away, your pet is my family and I am fiercely protective of my family. Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who’s very much part of my everyday life. Caring for pets is something that feels natural to me—it’s woven into my daily routine, not something squeezed in as an afterthought. My Lucy Goose is a large Golden Retriever with the sweetest, most gentle “little dog energy.” She’s very social, kind, and welcoming, and does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She has happily shared her space with smaller dogs and special-needs pets, and all interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I work during the week for about 6–8 hours a day, and outside of that time my life revolves around walks, fresh air, playtime, and creating a calm, loving home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, and I’m intentional about making sure every pet in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their quirks, honoring their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can truly relax. My home includes a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I supervise pets closely throughout the day. I also have a few pup gates to ensure safe calm and private pet feedings or if quiet time is needed. I also use cameras for added peace of mind and awareness while I am out and about. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I follow routines carefully, respect boundaries, and keep a watchful eye on behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. I communicate openly and provide updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and cared for.

“Victoria was amazing for taking in my pup at the last minute and still providing amazing service! I sometimes get self conscious when I ask for too many photos of my pup while we're away, but Victoria sent photos and videos whenever I asked with no problems! My dog also can be somewhat shy with new dogs but she took the time to do separate intros to the pack and made him feel comfortable. I could tell in all the videos and pictures he was at ease! He came back to us happy and tired from a fun night. We will definitely be rebooting when we need!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“We had Lauren take care of our dog, Reyna, and all went really well. She sent daily pictures of Reyna on walks, interacting with her dog, playing with toys and just chillin'. She also replied to any questions we had on a timely manner. Lauren relayed that Reyna got along with her dog, Charlie, and the other dog she was watching, Hannah, really well. Lauren seemed like a really kind, laid-back person, and so did her fiancée, and we would most definitely consider leaving Reyna with her again anytime we are out of town. I recommend Lauren to anyone that's looking for a kind and responsible dog-sitter.”
“Monica is absolutely wonderful. She sent daily updates with pictures showing that our dog, who can be a little anxious, was totally at ease in her home. She is responsible, proactive, and caring, and we felt reassured that our little guy was safe and comfortable while we were on vacation. This was our second stay with Monica and we 100% recommend her to all dog parents!”
“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her again!”
“We are so glad to have found Michelle and Sami. They treated our golden dog like family for our holiday weekend away. They also have 2 sons who were super helpful. The whole family took part in caring for our dog. My pup came back happy and tired from playing with their dogs ☺️”
“She has watched our two boys a couple of times now and has always done an excellent job! Very communicative and gives them the right amount of attention to make sure they’re getting plenty of exercise. Would recommend again!”
“Raeann was by far the best Rover we ever had. She took the time to meet our dog beforehand and was wonderful. She gave us updates with pictures very often and made us feel like we left our dog with an old friend. I'd recommend Raeann to any pet owner who wants a worry-free experience! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
