“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.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“My experience boarding our pup Willy with Megan and her family was wonderful. Several weeks before our boarding and before I even confirmed the booking, Megan invited me to visit and make sure our pup would be comfortable or a good fit. Only once it seemed like it was going to be good for all of us did move forward. Willy stayed for a week. Megan was not only attentive to his usual routine but kept us updated with photos and notes about how he was feeling (he gets anxiety over storms). I really made us feel good about our decision to try Rover for the first time and Megan in particular. We'd definitely do it again. Thank you, Megan!”
“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!”
“Richard T boarded our dog Callie for a week while we were on vacation. He set up a meet and greet at his home to get her comfortable being there before our trip. Each day, he sent us pictures of her playing or resting to keep us updated and set our minds at ease. Our dog is never crated, so we would not send her to a typical kennel. Richard boards the dogs in his home, so she had access to the house and yard, just like she would at our home. Callie had a great time with the other dogs so we will definitely use Richard T’s services again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. It was convenient. Monica forwarded pictures of my dog during his stay, which provided me with comfort. My dog appeared to settle in well. I will use Monica in the future.”
“Lisa is a true animal lover. She agreed to a pre visit with my younger Shih Tzu to see how he would do with her dogs and cats. We were going to be away for a week so I needed to know it would work before I left for that long. She took great care of them while we were on vacation. They came home very content and relaxed, no anxiety or exhaustion. She sent me pictures and updates everyday on how they were doing. We will definitely use Lisa again. Thank you Lisa!!”
“Hector has stayed several times with Maria but in our family’s book this one was most important. Our daughter got married over the weekend and it was stress free for us to celebrate events leading up to the Big Day and the Wedding knowing that Hector was so well cared for. Being a standard poodle Hector felt slighted apparently not being groomsmen so Maria used her talents to create his photo in a tuxedo!! She has countless talent and is amazing to work with. 😍🐩”
“Nelia and her family took such good care of my dog. She was excellent with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. Nash seemed to really enjoy his time with them. I would definitely recommended Nelia and hope to be able to use her again for my dog sitting needs! Thank you, Nelia!”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 12 years, and have been working with dogs for years at a doggy daycare!

“Our first time working with Daniel and Christina was excellent! They took care of two of our dogs while we were gone for a week. Both dogs were super happy and healthy upon our return. It was obvious that they were well cared for. We received frequent photo updates of them and Daniel and Christina communicated really well with us. We will definitely use them again for future boarding needs!”
“Victoria was very accommodating went out of her way to make my beagle Hunter feel like one of the family. Sadly to the extent that he didn't want to come home :( She sent me pictures during his stay and when hunter chewed and tore his blanket she patched it back up for him. you could tell he enjoyed staying there and She gave me advise for him. I definitely will be having her sit my Hunter in the future. I recommend her highly..”

“Winston had another great stay with Debbie and Adam! I received numerous updates throughout his 5 day stay. I’m so glad I found them. He comes home happy, content, and tired!! He has so much fun there!”
“Michelle & Luke and the kids really took care of my 2 old english sheepdogs. OES. There is something special about kids and a OES. When a dog is away from home and he is comfortable enough to do his happy dance, i know he is in good hands. Michelle your kids must of spent every waking moment with the dogs. When we got home it took a full day for them to recoup, they were so tired. I don't usually do reviews but Michelle & Luke service, no love for my dogs was outstanding. If i need the dogs looked after again they are first on my list. Thanks guys, and to the kids as well.”
“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!”
“I boarded my beagle over night and I could tell that my girl was very taken care of. Extremely clean house and gentle children. Cassandra was great with my Eve. She sent lots of pictures that helped me feel at ease. I plan on bringing her back & thankful we have a sitter now!”

Even my shy dog, Zoe, warmed right up to them. You can trust Megan to care for your furry friends like they are her own.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from independent older cats to playful, energetic kittens. I understand that cats can be very routine based and sensitive to change, so I focus on keeping their environment calm, clean, and consistent while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and giving space to cats who prefer a more independent vibe. I also make sure to give plenty of gentle attention and affection to cats who enjoy interaction, while always respecting their boundaries and comfort level 🤍🐱

I am available throughout the days on these days. I am also available on weekends! I will be sure your dog has the most fun on our walks! I know my way around many types of harnesses/leashes/muzzles.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated cat sitter who believes every kitty deserves calm, loving care while their humans are away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter care, medications, and most importantly earning a cat’s trust at their own pace. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or a total diva, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home.
“Bennett was great! It’s clear he loves animals and our dog loved him too. He was prompt in responding, visited on time, and sent photos of my dog enjoying the visit. We would use Bennett again!”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart—I’ve had three of my own and think every single one is a cutie (even the sassy ones!). I’m experienced with all the essentials: administering medication, keeping litter boxes fresh and clean, and making sure your cat gets the right mix of playtime, snuggles, or space—depending on their personality. Whether your kitty is a lap cat or an independent adventurer, I’ll treat them like family.

“Would highly recommend! When I realized a big chain daycare place wasn't the right fit for my dog, I turned to Rover to try and find a solution. Raleigh and his dog have been absolutely wonderful for my dog Rascal. He's knowledgeable about dog behavior and keeps play appropriate and fun for the dogs. From the meet and greet to the initial visit, he's been kind and listened to my concerns and works with me and my hectic schedule. This has been a great experience and I am hopeful that more people are willing to work with reactive dogs!”
About: I have taken care of countless animals in my life. I truly adore them. I've raised llamas, mini donkeys, chickens, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, macaws, fish..to name a few! I believe animals are family. They enrich our lives and bring us happiness! I am currently retired and available frequently for boarding and/or daycare. I clean my yard daily, so no waste is evident. It is very important to me that your dog has all shots and is on a flea/tick preventative medication. I have a fenced yard, a doggie door that leads to the yard and a friendly labradoodle. I also have a cat, but she stays in her "own" room.
“Maria was a life saver! I’m a dog mom who works 12 hour shifts and Maria was happy to host my puppy from early morning to late evening, letting her out to potty hourly. My energetic puppy came home tired after a long day of playing. She sent me photos throughout the day. We will certainly be booking again.”
“Took care of my 3mo puppy still being house trained and my 10yo Siberian Husky. Took great care of both, was flexible with the drop off and pick up times, and took great pictures!”
“Janet is the kindest, most generous pup carer!! She has been extremely flexible and welcoming to my pup Vinny and is 100% reliable!! Her family, including young children, have been equally warm and wonderful!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m a work-from-home human and proud fur-kiddo mom with many years of pet-sitting experience for friends and family. Size, breed, or number of pets is never an issue— I have experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m comfortable providing care for pets with special needs, including administering medications and treatments as needed. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. We all want our pets to be cared for the same way we care for them, and that’s exactly what I strive to do! I work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.
About: I have had all kinds of pets from a young age, have a degree in veterinary technology, and have had several animal care jobs. Safety and communication are always my priorities! I am available full time for pet boarding! I take an occasional dog walking appointment but otherwise I am home 24/7. I have 3 years now of full time pet boarding experience! I have a half acre of fenced in area, and can separate my top and bottom floor of my home if your pet needs their own space! Outside play time is always supervised to ensure safety.
“My pup Oriyah had an amazing time with Arti and Ashwin! They made her feel so comfortable and cared for, which means a lot to us. We received frequent updates on Oriyah’s schedule and whereabouts. She absolutely loved the toy they gave her—it was such a thoughtful touch. Thank you for your kindness and attention. We’ll definitely be using your services again. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve always had a love of animals and owned animals from as small as a fish and as large as a horse. I know leaving your bestfriend with someone can be nerve wracking but I make sure to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I also specialize in dog with special needs or previous injuries I work from home a couple times a week and the other days I usually stop home for lunch. I am also home in the evenings. I have a large yard that is well maintained and I take walks daily. I also have a camera to watch your dog or cat while I am at work.
“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.”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I’ve been around many types of dogs, even guinea pigs, fish, goats, chickens, cats, and more. I’d love to give your pets the care they need and want, and definitely spoil them with some loving and treats (with permission). My work schedule varies but I’m very good with time management and I’d love to fit you into my schedule! My classes start back up in August so after that, my schedule will be more limited. I have a very big fenced in yard. I play with my animals regularly, feed them, clean up after them. I’d love to do the same with your animals.
About: We welcome any potty trained dog to come and play and get love. Rocky, our Poochon, loves to play and is very sweet. We have a fenced in yard so your dog can get as much time outside as they like. We can only provide weekend care from Friday night until Monday morning. I enjoy being home so this works well for me and I enjoy helping. My dog gets lots of attention and affection. I actually cook his meals because he doesn’t do well with any store bought brands. I am more than happy to share the home cooking with your dog if you like.
“Deacon and Greta had a great first day with Angela! She sent us pictures of then and when I picked them up, they didn't want to leave! What peace of mind we have leaving our dogs with them, one of which is special needs, knowing they were getting so much love! We can't wait for their next stay!”
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.
“Joni was amazing ❤️ My request for doggy daycare was last minute and she still took Bella in and treated her as her own. I will 100% use her again and refer her to all of my friends and family. Thank you Joni ?”

About: I've been an passionate animal lover and caretaker for as long as I can remember. My pets have always been considered a part of my family, and get taken care of as such! They're only on this earth with us for a short time, why not give them the world? <3 I've always been there to take care of family, friend's, and neighbor's pets whenever needed, enjoying some sunshine and fetch, a walk, or a nice couch snuggle! I enjoy animals of all breeds and sizes, having a small mutt, big Aussie, and teeny tiny ferret myself! Taking care of animals brings me great joy. When your pup or cat gives you those "don't leave me, how could you?" eyes as you're leaving for work/a trip, reassure them that their best friend Amber will be there shortly to make their day!! :) I'm currently in between jobs, with a work from home opportunity on the horizon! I have plenty of free time during the day currently to walk and check in with your furry friends. I always make sure I ask where all necessary materials are kept for my visits, and keep detailed logs! I ensure boundaries are clear between all parties so everyone is comfortable - I understand this business requires a level of trust that I ensure I earn and maintain with clear communication :)

“Olivia was not only wonderful with my ‘old man’, Prince, she was such a delight herself. It’s quite evident that Olivia loves animals!!!! You can clearly see the careful and loving time that she takes in tending to and taking care of their needs. She was EXCELLENT!!! She also, after taking care of Prince, actually took the time to talk to me for a few minutes (before she had to leave for her next puppy adventure). In today’s world, it’s sad that a little more time isn’t spent creating relationships and getting to know your client. I didn’t get a ‘rushed’ job with Olivia. She was warm, caring, and took her time with even myself and getting to know me a little. Priceless!!! I would definitely hire Olivia again, and probably will in the future! A sincere thanks to you, Olivia!!”

“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.”

“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.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“My experience boarding our pup Willy with Megan and her family was wonderful. Several weeks before our boarding and before I even confirmed the booking, Megan invited me to visit and make sure our pup would be comfortable or a good fit. Only once it seemed like it was going to be good for all of us did move forward. Willy stayed for a week. Megan was not only attentive to his usual routine but kept us updated with photos and notes about how he was feeling (he gets anxiety over storms). I really made us feel good about our decision to try Rover for the first time and Megan in particular. We'd definitely do it again. Thank you, Megan!”
“Richard T boarded our dog Callie for a week while we were on vacation. He set up a meet and greet at his home to get her comfortable being there before our trip. Each day, he sent us pictures of her playing or resting to keep us updated and set our minds at ease. Our dog is never crated, so we would not send her to a typical kennel. Richard boards the dogs in his home, so she had access to the house and yard, just like she would at our home. Callie had a great time with the other dogs so we will definitely use Richard T’s services again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. It was convenient. Monica forwarded pictures of my dog during his stay, which provided me with comfort. My dog appeared to settle in well. I will use Monica in the future.”
“Hector has stayed several times with Maria but in our family’s book this one was most important. Our daughter got married over the weekend and it was stress free for us to celebrate events leading up to the Big Day and the Wedding knowing that Hector was so well cared for. Being a standard poodle Hector felt slighted apparently not being groomsmen so Maria used her talents to create his photo in a tuxedo!! She has countless talent and is amazing to work with. 😍🐩”
“Nelia and her family took such good care of my dog. She was excellent with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. Nash seemed to really enjoy his time with them. I would definitely recommended Nelia and hope to be able to use her again for my dog sitting needs! Thank you, Nelia!”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 12 years, and have been working with dogs for years at a doggy daycare! I love to hang out, play with them, and ensure they’re happy and well taken care of!😁 I have lots of space for them to play, an awesome family who helps and a nice neighborhood to take them on walks as well! Comfortable, spacious, clean and loving environment!😁 I currently already work with dogs part-time at the dog stop (doggy daycare)! I have my own pup as well, and have plenty of time any day of the week for dogs to board! I have a spacious and clean home for them to play and hang out in, a nice big yard and a great neighborhood for walks! 😁 in a clients home as well as my own.. I’ll spend lots of time hanging with, playing with and keeping them company! Take them for walks, give them a nice big bed with a warm blanket, get them nice clean water and lots of love and comfort! 😁I’m also good at reading dog behavior and body language, and can calmly attend to whatever they need!
“Our first time working with Daniel and Christina was excellent! They took care of two of our dogs while we were gone for a week. Both dogs were super happy and healthy upon our return. It was obvious that they were well cared for. We received frequent photo updates of them and Daniel and Christina communicated really well with us. We will definitely use them again for future boarding needs!”
“Victoria was very accommodating went out of her way to make my beagle Hunter feel like one of the family. Sadly to the extent that he didn't want to come home :( She sent me pictures during his stay and when hunter chewed and tore his blanket she patched it back up for him. you could tell he enjoyed staying there and She gave me advise for him. I definitely will be having her sit my Hunter in the future. I recommend her highly..”
“Michelle & Luke and the kids really took care of my 2 old english sheepdogs. OES. There is something special about kids and a OES. When a dog is away from home and he is comfortable enough to do his happy dance, i know he is in good hands. Michelle your kids must of spent every waking moment with the dogs. When we got home it took a full day for them to recoup, they were so tired. I don't usually do reviews but Michelle & Luke service, no love for my dogs was outstanding. If i need the dogs looked after again they are first on my list. Thanks guys, and to the kids as well.”
“I boarded my beagle over night and I could tell that my girl was very taken care of. Extremely clean house and gentle children. Cassandra was great with my Eve. She sent lots of pictures that helped me feel at ease. I plan on bringing her back & thankful we have a sitter now!”
“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.”
“Mikaela is always great with our boys! She sends updates with pics daily and they always come home happy! We love using her for our dogs as their home away from home!”
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!
“Have never felt more comfortable leaving my Gypsy with anyone. Yes, even family. She acted like it was her second home from day one due to Joni making her so welcome. Joni is truly a god sent with animals. When we picked her up she was so glad to see me then went back to playing. I can’t thank her enough and will recommend her to all my friends. Thank you Joni and will definitely see you again!”
“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!”
“Raeann is truly the best. She cares for Bronn as if he were her own. She always sends lots of updates and pictures (which as anxious dog mom I appreciate immensely). I could not recommend her enough and Bronn is looking forward his next visit!”
