“Andrew is a wonderful sitter. He watched my pup Clover while I was out of the country for 8 days. Usually Clover is shy and hesitant during drop-offs, but she warmed up to Andrew instantly. Overall, it seemed like Clover had a great time, and I really appreciated the updates and photos I received during my trip. Thank you so much, Andrew!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels with Lisa. It's clear that she really cares for the dogs. She sent me daily updates and photos or videos. My dogs seem to have had a great time at her house and we will use her again.”
“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.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog Cooper with a Rover sitter rather than his usual boarding spot, and I’m so glad I did! Shanna was great!! She sent lots of photos, videos and updates during his stay, and I could see that Cooper settled in and felt comfortable much more quickly than he usually does in a new environment. He came home happy and relaxed!”
“I cannot appropriately express how much we love Natasha. We never left our dog with someone before, so we were initially nervous. I visited/looked at multiple dog kennel facilities and never felt comfortable leaving my dog in any of them. After our meet & greet, we believed Natasha would be a good fit. Natasha provided updates and photos, and it was clear our high-anxiety pup was settled in and comfortable. Natasha was patient and understanding (HIGH anxiety pup) and so kind to both us and our dog. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
“I would definitely recommend Tia! Our dog Gizmo had a great time and was well cared for. Tia sent lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely use her again!”
“Victoria was excellent!!! This was my first time using rover and leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was so nervous. Victoria was extremely kind and let me and my dog come over a couple days before so we could meet and see her house. She sent pictures and videos 2-3 times every day, gave my dog her medication, and made her feel really welcome. I already booked my next stay with Victoria! I feel so much better being able to leave my dog with someone she loved and who loved her! :)”
“Beth was wonderful with our dog Lady. She is a very anxious pup. She became Beth’s sidekick. She sent several pictures throughout Lady’s stay. Beth was understanding about a delay due to flights in picking Lady up. We will definitely use Beth’s boarding services in the future.”
“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”
“The best experience ever with Rover! Maria and her husband are great! They were so caring and took such great care of my pups. They were updating us with pics multiple times a day. I will absolutely be requesting their service again the next time we leave town and can’t take the pups with us. My pups were so happy when I picked them up. They have a beautiful yard in a very nice neighborhood. The other cool point about them is that they have well-behaved small size pups that helped my dogs be more socialized! Highly recommended!”
“Our pup loves going to Mary’s house, and we love all the updates and photos!! Mary and her family are so accommodating and make Lily’s stays so much fun for her and stress-free for us!”
“Melissa and her family welcomed Yogi and took care of him really well! I was nervous to leave him but with all the communication and update I felt better! Thanks for adhering to all of Yogis needs.”
“Chang was so good to our Pup! She took her on walks, sent us lots of pictures showing her comfortable hanging out at her house. Communication was great! Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Skylar and I am a recent college grad who has been in Pittsburgh about 2 years. I have over 70 5-star ratings on Wag, which is a similar app to Rover. Back home in Ohio I have a sweet Mini Schnauzer who is 11 years old. He is blind and diabetic, so I have lots of experience taking care of older pups with medical needs. I also have a 7 year old Australian Shepard who has LOTS of energy and is always bouncing off the walls. She loves to play and herd her brother. Two new additions to the fam are 2 year old bernadoodles-lots of dog in the house! I miss my sweet pups, which is why I love to use Wag and Rover :) I absolutely adore any dog I come across and would love to get to know you and your doggo! I have a bit of an odd schedule where over the winter I work M-F completely remote and in the spring-fall I work Th-M half remote and half in person at North Park with Tuesday and Wednesday as my “weekends.” There is some variability to this schedule, but for the most part it is as described. I live with my boyfriend in a three level townhouse that has a large yard and is on a safe, quiet street. When fury friends visit us they are allowed on the furniture and we make sure to take them out on walks at least 4 times a day. Typically this looks like right when we wake up, during lunch, after dinner, and right before bed. When I stay at a pup’s house, I make sure to leave it cleaner than I found it!
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“We had such a great experience with Angeline and her husband. They were great communicating with us about the stay, providing photos, and having Ollie ready so we had a smooth pick up. We even received a cute treat bag. Ollie was happy playing with their pup and slept most of the ride home. It's great being so close to the airport and having an extra person to help if something went wrong. Will book again!”
“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.”
“Today when I took Breya over I was happy because I can tell she likes Amy and has a great time with her by the way she greeted her. She does the excited whining and jumping like she does when she's happy to see me.”

“Alexis was the best sitter we’ve used on this app! She was super communicative and took the best care of Millie with fun updates of her mornings and nights. Alexis even figured out a partial refund for her not being able to make it due to severe snow. I would 1000% recommend Alexis as a sitter and we will be absolutely be using her again!”
“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! 😊”
“Shaina is the best! So thorough and is always sure to send lots of photos and videos of our boy. We feel so comfortable knowing he is in such good hands while we’re away. Thank you thank you again Shaina! ☺️”
“Taylor is the sweetest to my pets! I spent a long weekend in Florida & my flight got canceled and. I ended up getting stuck for 2 extra days & she didn’t miss a beat. She said don’t fret and made me feel like my pets were so secure and safe. She is the best”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sydnie was absolutely wonderful with my cats, Fiona and Bella! She checked on them twice a day, was always on time, kept everything clean, and made sure they were well fed and happy. She sent me photos and updates every day which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brought in my packages! I came home to two very well-cared-for cats. I highly recommend Sidney and will definitely book her again!”
“Carlie couldn't be easier to work with and did a great job making sure the cats were well taken care of. Updates were very detailed and pictures super cute. Will absolutely rebook the next time we're away!”

“Nikki was a life saver! I had a family emergency which required a next day booking and she made herself available. Even my shy girl Annie warmed up to her. 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!”
“Brianna was so so great! Even with how late I made my booking, she was accommodating and sweet, and while I was away, she went above and beyond. I really appreciated all the effort she put into taking care of my cats, and even my shy guy seemed to warm up to her. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“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.”
“Caitlin was amazing! She is the best sitter I got on Rover! She stayed hours making company to my cat Leia and I have no words to thank her for being so loving with her.”
“Luke trimmed Momo’s nails and he was awesome! Warm, friendly and confident with my kitty. So convenient!! I just can’t seemed to do it myself with my squirmy kitty but Luke was a pro!! Highly recommend!”
“I was so worried about leaving my cat who just had emergency surgery for a trip I couldn't postpone, but when I saw Mary's updates, I knew he was in good hands. Having a great cat sitter calmed my anxieties and allowed me to enjoy my time away. Thanks again for doing such a great job taking care of Oscar!”
“Cat review! ? Lauren was fabulous! We have an anxious cat with special dietary needs. Lauren was very attentative and stayed over night to keep him company. She sent photos every day with updates and was always responsive. If you're looking for someone who understands cats, look no further. We will absolutely use Lauren the next time we are out of town.”

“My puppy Breya seemed to be having fun by the pictures that were sent to me. When I picked her up she was tired and didn't even want to stick her head out the car window on the drive home. To me that means she had a good time and was occupied while there and not just laying around being ignored. She is an active puppy. Definitely will schedule with Amy again.”
“Melissa and her family were so amazing with my dog, Cooper. They graciously took him last minute for 2 daycare visits and treated him just like one of their own. He got tons of outside time and snuggles and was tired out when I picked him up each time. We gradually introduced the dogs and they got along well. You can tell their house is full of love– I felt very comfortable leaving my pup there to enjoy his time.”
“Juniper had the best day with Adrienne and her pupper. I felt very secure leaving my furchild with her and appreciated all the photos and videos.”
“First time leaving my 8-month old puppy with a sitter, and I could tell he was in great hands with Chang! He came back happy and tired - best I could have hoped for with a high energy puppy!”
“We had a great experience leaving our 7 month pup, Willie Nelson, with Christy! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone for the day and Christy made it very easy. She provided many photos/updates throughout the day. Thank you Christy”
“Valerie and her son were absolutely incredible!! We made the request last minute and she was able to accommodate us which was so sweet. She’s great with communication and flexible as well. Most importantly, she kept in touch with us throughout the day, kept Wilson active and playful, and gave us a very detailed report at the end of the day. We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”
About: A couple of months after we married my husband adopted our first dog, Sandy, and I’ve been hooked ever since. That was 26 years ago. 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.
“McKayla was a wonderful sitter! She was so helpful and took our booking request last minute. She communicated with us the whole time and sent great photos. Super easy to communicate and work with. She made my pup feel so comfortable and had the sweetest pup!!! 100/10”
“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.”
“Fantastic day with Bruno…Walks, naps, lots of attention and yummy treats and food… thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Bruno. He was so nice and understanding when I had to work late..thank you. We will see you again soon.”
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.
“Laura was wonderful with our puppy! She was super communicative and provided a clean, warm, and safe space for our dog for the day. Our young puppy was well supervised, had plenty of bathroom breaks, opportunities for rest and exercise, and lots of great enrichment thanks to Laura's unique household set-up. I feel very fortunate to have found Laura as a great option to send my dog and have already booked several more dates.”
“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.”
“Michael and his wife are honestly the best. They take such good care of our Millie and her tag starts wagging as soon as she knows she’s going to their home. She has a wonderful time with them and her furry friends and comes home worn out!”
“Maria and Tony are fantastic doggy sitters! I was very nervous about leaving my 4 month old puppy for the first time. Their reassurance and calm manner put me at ease. I returned to a happy pup who is exhausted today from all the fun she had yesterday. Thank you both!”
About: I am a patient and caring dog owner who has been surrounded by pets my whole life. They are a complete part of our family! I currently work from home with my 1 small senior dog (under 10 pounds) in the house. In the past, I have had Labrador Retrievers and a Viszla. All have been rescues. In recent years, I was heavily involved in a senior dog rescue and fostered a wide variety of dogs. Many of the dogs had supplemental needs, requiring additional care. This included strict medication schedules, teaching blind dogs to navigate their surroundings, teaching dogs with special needs to learn confidence and better mobility, and even one from a hoarding situation that needed to completely learn socialization skills and how to walk on grass! Your dog will be completely pampered and showered with affection during the time we are together. Your dog will be treated like a royal guest! We have plenty of large windows to look out and soft couches to relax on. We even have stools at each couch for our smaller guests to get up and down easily! :) If your pup prefers alone time, we have plenty of doggie beds for them to choose from. I strive to offer them a home away from home, all while allowing them to freedom to wander and relax wherever they feel comfortable. I look forward to meeting your pup! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule that is determined by me. I am home all day and can attend to your pet's needs whenever necessary. If they are at my home, I allow your pet to wander freely and find a spot to relax wherever they feel comfortable. My goal is to provide them with as much playtime and attention as they want when we are together. I will live up to your expectations and follow directions completely. I look forward to caring for your pet in whatever way necessary. I have experience caring for dogs with extreme needs and will be sure to give your pet the best care in the world. I will also send pictures and/or videos of our time together if you wish.
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.

“Jake has recently started doing daily walks with my girl Flower (and was her sitter once before), and he is awesome. Always on time, super flexible with changes, and Flower absolutely loves him!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personalized approach, adaptability, and specialized skills. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from training puppies with patience and consistency to providing gentle care for senior pets with unique health needs. My focus on building trust with both pets and owners ensures peace of mind. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication and tailor routines to meet each pet’s emotional and physical needs, creating a safe, loving environment. My dedication to treating every pet like family truly sets me apart. Pet care fits into my routine through dedicated time blocks for feeding, walks, play, and grooming. Mornings often begin with feeding and walks, ensuring pets start their day energized. Midday or evening, I schedule additional walks and interactive play sessions to keep them active and mentally stimulated. Weekly tasks include grooming, restocking supplies, and maintaining their living spaces. I integrate these responsibilities seamlessly into my schedule to provide consistent and attentive care, ensuring their needs are always prioritized. Caring for pets involves tailored routines based on the pet’s needs and owner preferences. This includes providing regular walks for exercise and fresh air, ensuring proper feeding schedules, maintaining clean living spaces, and offering companionship to keep pets emotionally healthy. Whether at home or in a client’s residence, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, treating each pet with love and respect as if they were my own.
“I am very grateful to have found Robin. I have a senior, female pit bull, who was abused before I adopted her. Lily senses Robin's kind nature. She has taken to Robin as a new "best buddy". She's happy to go on walks with Robin and looks forward to her visits. Robin is attentive and a great listener. She is also very punctual, which I appreciate greatly. She has followed all of my instructions perfectly (a rare attribute these days). I have found Robin to be very trustworthy. I give her 5 stars and would give her a 10, if possible. If you want a trustworthy, affectionate and kind hearted sitter, hire Robin.”
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 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.
“Did such an amazing job with my puppy! She was very helpful and gave some great tips and knowledge about dogs ◡̈ looking forward to being able to have her watch my dog again!”
“I cannot say enough about Gabriella. She is incredibly professional and has such amazing, positive energy. We have two beagles, and from the very first meet and great, they felt completely comfortable and excited around her. Which says a lot! It is truly clear that she knows how to connect with dogs. Every walk last week seems to have gone smooth, reliable, and based by the pictures I received, full of happy tail wags. I feel totally at ease knowing my pups are in such great hands. Highly recommended.”
About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!
“Lauren has been a blessing! My dog is older and she takes her time with him out on his walks (he sometimes doesn't walk so well). She is considerate, professional, and I just love her!!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s dogs plenty of times before, from small to big dogs. I am very attentive to detail, so I will be able to care for your dog’s individual needs. Most recently, I have cared for a miniature schnauzer puppy, a black lab puppy, and two mid-aged mixed breed dogs. I have additional experience with doodles, king cavalier spaniels, dauschunds, pitbulls, and pugs. I am currently studying to take my physical therapy board examination so I will my schedule is flexible. I am not working at the moment, but hope to get a full-time job after taking my examination at the end of July. A part-time job may be added in the near future. I am willing to feed them, walk them, play with them, let them out to the bathroom, and clean up after them. Whatever they need, I will willingly provide for them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and spent my last semester away at college lifting a lot at the gym, so there need be no worries of the dog walking itself. I enjoy being outdoors when the weather is nice, so if that’s something your pet also enjoys, I am glad to spend time outdoors with them. If they are more the indoor, cuddly type, I am to accompany them in that as well.
“Lindsey was wonderful! I appreciate her taking the time to walk with Ella. Ella was comfortable and happy. This is great practice for her to learn to walk with other people.”

“Andrew is a wonderful sitter. He watched my pup Clover while I was out of the country for 8 days. Usually Clover is shy and hesitant during drop-offs, but she warmed up to Andrew instantly. Overall, it seemed like Clover had a great time, and I really appreciated the updates and photos I received during my trip. Thank you so much, Andrew!”
“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.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog Cooper with a Rover sitter rather than his usual boarding spot, and I’m so glad I did! Shanna was great!! She sent lots of photos, videos and updates during his stay, and I could see that Cooper settled in and felt comfortable much more quickly than he usually does in a new environment. He came home happy and relaxed!”
“I cannot appropriately express how much we love Natasha. We never left our dog with someone before, so we were initially nervous. I visited/looked at multiple dog kennel facilities and never felt comfortable leaving my dog in any of them. After our meet & greet, we believed Natasha would be a good fit. Natasha provided updates and photos, and it was clear our high-anxiety pup was settled in and comfortable. Natasha was patient and understanding (HIGH anxiety pup) and so kind to both us and our dog. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
“Victoria was excellent!!! This was my first time using rover and leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was so nervous. Victoria was extremely kind and let me and my dog come over a couple days before so we could meet and see her house. She sent pictures and videos 2-3 times every day, gave my dog her medication, and made her feel really welcome. I already booked my next stay with Victoria! I feel so much better being able to leave my dog with someone she loved and who loved her! :)”
“Beth was wonderful with our dog Lady. She is a very anxious pup. She became Beth’s sidekick. She sent several pictures throughout Lady’s stay. Beth was understanding about a delay due to flights in picking Lady up. We will definitely use Beth’s boarding services in the future.”
“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”
“Our pup loves going to Mary’s house, and we love all the updates and photos!! Mary and her family are so accommodating and make Lily’s stays so much fun for her and stress-free for us!”
“Melissa and her family welcomed Yogi and took care of him really well! I was nervous to leave him but with all the communication and update I felt better! Thanks for adhering to all of Yogis needs.”
“Chang was so good to our Pup! She took her on walks, sent us lots of pictures showing her comfortable hanging out at her house. Communication was great! Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Skylar and I am a recent college grad who has been in Pittsburgh about 2 years. I have over 70 5-star ratings on Wag, which is a similar app to Rover. Back home in Ohio I have a sweet Mini Schnauzer who is 11 years old. He is blind and diabetic, so I have lots of experience taking care of older pups with medical needs. I also have a 7 year old Australian Shepard who has LOTS of energy and is always bouncing off the walls. She loves to play and herd her brother. Two new additions to the fam are 2 year old bernadoodles-lots of dog in the house! I miss my sweet pups, which is why I love to use Wag and Rover :) I absolutely adore any dog I come across and would love to get to know you and your doggo!

Typically this looks like right when we wake up, during lunch, after dinner, and right before bed. When I stay at a pup’s house, I make sure to leave it cleaner than I found it!
“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.”
“Today when I took Breya over I was happy because I can tell she likes Amy and has a great time with her by the way she greeted her. She does the excited whining and jumping like she does when she's happy to see me.”
“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.”
“Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!”
“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.”
“Jordyn did a great job with our border collie! She was communicative, sent great pictures, and Banjo really enjoyed the yard and porch. I would absolutely recommend her and we’re thankful we can have someone to rely on in Pittsburgh.”
“Monica took great care of my dog, Lusia, while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend her as a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
