“Victoria did a great job with my Charlie. She introduced the other residents staying with her gradually so he was not overwhelmed. She keeps good control of all the dogs. She is very communicative both in setting up the appointment as well as during the visit itself, and sends videos and text updates. The only thing I was not crazy about was the artificial grass in her yard instead of real grass, but other than that, she did a great job for me.”
“Wow, we are soooo happy to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and communicative family to care for our dog! Nelia cared for our dog for 5 nights and gave so many great updates and pictures throughout, took lots of walks, and treated our dog like part of the family. Her home is super secure with a great backyard, and we had peace of mind knowing our dog was having a fun and relaxing stay. It is always hard to leave our girl, but knowing she was in such good hands and getting lots of love made this the best experience. We are so grateful to have a wonderful go-to for our pup!”
“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!”
“Tia was an absolute perfect petsitter for my dog Finley! She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent updates including photos and videos, and made sure that my boy was getting lots of attention and playtime in the backyard. Tia’s dog Tang was a fantastic companion and playmate so Finley was spoiled having a canine friend around. Couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Eronda’s heart bleeds for dogs. We had her dog sit our dog for 10 days. He is an anxious dog and returned happier than ever and we enjoyed our vacation knowing he was in the best of hands. Thanks so much Eronda!!”
“Our dogs absolutely loved their stay with Amy! Amy sent us daily picture updates and filled us in on how the pups were doing. The dogs had a blast playing with all of the other dogs and receiving the love and attention from Amy and her family. We will definitely be going back to Amy 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!”
“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!”
“Trish was absolutely wonderful. She was find and caring and followed our instructions with Teddy. Teddy was also a puppy and she did great with him. I will certainly use her 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.”
“Emily and Patrick were great sitters for Nola while we were away attending a wedding. They sent multiple pictures and video updates for us, and Nola had a great time playing with Eli! Thank you so much 😊”
“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!”
“Raeann took such good care of my chihuahua Mojo while I was away! It’s the only time I’ve ever had someone else watching him where I didn’t worry about him constantly. She sent me multiple pictures/updates each day and I could tell he was relaxed and engaged. I appreciated that she checked with me if certain outings were ok (like taking him on trips in the car) and she made sure his important instructions were followed. He was clearly VERY loved and had all of his emotional and physical needs met. He settled right back in at home without any “where were you how could you have left me” like he has in the past before Raeann. Thank you again!”
“I've meet Shawnee before to see here and where I'm going to leave my dog. The meeting was here suggestion and it was great. We talked about Toy's need and habits. During Toy stay Shawnee sent us a dayle update and photo/video and we saw that we left him in good hands. When we met Toy, he jumped on us happily and run back and forth to Shawnee too.We were glad to see that he likes here so much. Shawnee was attentive and everything was done with a smile and kindness. THANKS 🙏🏼”
“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!”
“Adrienne is a loving, flexible dog sitter. Her apartment is perfect for dogs. She really puts you at ease with contact while you are on the road. A+”

“Amanda was amazing to my Ottie!! She went above and even cleaned my cats litter box haha! She definitely cares about my pets and always kept me updated!! Ottie is a very shy dog but warmed up to Amanda by day 2!! 5 stars!!”
“She gave me the best updates about my boys! I was also worried about my flight getting canceled and she offered to come back and stay the night if it did get cancelled! Absolutely would recommend her!”
“Brenda took great care of my cat while I was away! She gave my cat her daily medication and sent a lot of videos and pictures of her which helped my peace of mind while I was on my trip. Brenda was also very responsive to any questions and requests I had.”
“Lee was great! She offered a meet and greet that worked with my schedule, and when we met she asked great question and took notes. She also explained a few things about Rover/cat sitting since I had never used Rover before. While I was away, Lee sent useful updates about my cat along with photos that made me feel better about leaving my cat for the first time. Lee was always quick to respond to messages, she made sure that my cat was cared for, and she also cleaned up after my messy cat quite thoroughly. My cat was very happy and healthy when I returned, and I will definitely be booking with Lee in the future!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Abbie was great! She checked on regularly, gave us full and clear updates, and didn't bat an eye when we explained the somewhat high-maintenance routines for our cats. Plus she seemed genuinely excited to get to hang out with them. We had fill confidence on her from the start and definitely plan to book her again”
“Lauren is absolutely fantastic! She kept me up on the details of her visits. My kitties are so happy, and she even handled some messes, packages and things around the house for me while I was gone. She’s got a lovely energy and is just so kind. I will happily book her again to care for the babes while I’m away and would recommend anyone else to do the same.”
“Kathleen was great. We needed a short-notice stop in so we could attend to a family emergency and she was quick to reply and take the weight of cat care off our minds. She came right on time and sent plenty of pictures of the cats, plus one of their food bowls so we knew they were well fed.”
“Theresa was wonderful and attentive and communicative. It made me feel at ease to know that my cats were in good hands. She clearly loves animals and is knowledgeable about pet care. Highly recommend!”
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.
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. Additionally, I am trained and capable of working with cats with complex medical needs. 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, fluids, temperature checks, vaccines, oxygen support, and breathing treatments.
“We are so thankful to have found Kasey and Alyssa! They are amazing. Very warm and friendly and know what they are doing. Our dogs took to them immediately. We feel so relieved to have found a good fit for what we were looking for in help with drop-in visits (people who know and understand older dogs, who have great communication and are kind). We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾”
“This is our first experience with Rover and certainly not our last. The same is true of Wallis, who was an absolute pleasure to meet and trust with our pets. The time away was out of the country, so confidence in the care plan was important. We were pleasantly surprised to get daily texts from Wallis with brief comments and images of our cats. Call it cat-owner-weirdness, but we could see they were in good spirits and comfortable. More cat-owner-weirdness - checking texts from Wallis while standing in line to view the Sistine Chapel! Thank you, Rover and Wallis!”

“Barrett was fantastic. I was passing through Pittsburgh on a holiday weekend and needed someone to watch my two 1 1/2-year-old beagles while I attended a Pirates games with friends. Barrett welcomed Harper & Quincy to his home, provided regular updates, and took great of them (including giving meds). Would absolutely use again.”
“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!!”
“Theresa helped me out kinda last minute and my dog had a great time! Theresa let Sierra hang out and do what she was comfortable with. If it was local to the area I’d definitely have her watch Sierra 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. 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 have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I brought our two cats, Chili and Lok-Lok, all the way from China, but I grew up with dogs in my family and love both. I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends’ dogs and I heard about this app so I thought it might be fun to give it a try. Whenever I get called on to dog-sit for my friend here in Pittsburgh I like to go to the dog parks near the South Side river or jog along with them, rain or snow, and socialize with other dogs. Looking forward to meeting yours! I’m a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh so summer and winter breaks are relatively free, and usually I’m only “working” 2-3 half days per week. I have to do a lot of reading and thinking so getting out of the house is a good way to take a break and process. I have a fenced yard where I do some gardening and let our cats out every day to chase bugs and birds. My friends have stayed over with their dogs and I just move the cats to the second floor and keep them there while the dogs take the first and the yard.

I have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds. Including a few years of kennel experience as well as 30 years of personal experience. I have experience with senior animals as well as special needs animals, including blind, deaf, mobility issues, and incontinent. With those things comes a lot of experience in medication as well. Myself and my crew are excited to meet you and your fur babies. I work from home fulltime and a big home body. The most I leave is if I’m grocery shopping or grabbing dinner in the evening. I have a fully fenced in yard. Any boarding pups will sleep in my second bedroom in an appropriate sized crate/playpen. This is the area they would eat their meals as well.
About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.

I always watch my friends dogs when they go out of town. I have experience with giving medications such as pills or eardrops. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and all breeds. I work from home so I am able to do drop-in visits at any point of the day or nights during the week or weekend. I have two large dogs of my own, so I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I will care for your dog by letting them outside if you have a fenced in yard, walking them, playing with them if they enjoy ball or tug, giving any medication’s needed, and filling their food and water.
“Ashley walked our dog on Thanksgiving and was flexible with her time. We really appreciate her availability and adaptability. And our dog loves to get an extra walk with her. I recommend Ashley!”
“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him 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.”

“Kathleen did a wonderful job. I felt so much at ease traveling for a full week knowing that she was giving my dog plenty of exercise and attention. My dog looked happy in the pictures Kathleen sent from every walk.”

About: Hi, I am Mamie (I have gone by Mamie since birth but am technically named Mary) and I am a lifelong pet person, and professional sitter. I am relatively new to Rover specifically, but am in my 40's and have cared for other people's pets for over 15 years, both here in Pittsburgh and in Seattle where I am originally from. I am fully privately insured for pet sitting and dog walking and carry broadened property damage coverage, animal bailee coverage and veterinary reimbursement coverage. I do two check ins a day with lots of pictures, and am a quick responder to messages (my average response time is 6 min). My most consistent feedback is that i am very communicative and professional, and that owners feel secure and never worry about their pets well-being when they are with me! My mother was a vet tech and I grew up rescuing many animals, and continued that tradition into adulthood, so I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations I work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area from about 7am-3pm mon-thursday, so will not be available in the home or for potty breaks during those hours. The absolute longest I would leave a pet during a house-sitting is 8 hours on those days, but quite often it's only 4-6 hours that i am working. All other outings/errands would be less than four hours, tops, but usually only about an hour. I am comfortable with more or less any pet, from rodents to lizards and I am not squirmish about even the creepy crawlies and slithery noodles. I can and have given almost every kind of medication there is, including subcutaneous injections, and am comfortable doing so with care and compassion and confidence. I am clean, responsible, and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, and you can get a feel for my vibe and professionalism at that time, but I am sure you will like me and feel comfortable having me in your home. As a housekeeper I am used to going into strangers homes and having a high level of integrity and care for their space and belongings. I also am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible, and will clean litter boxes daily and change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I work as a housekeeper from 7am-3pm mon-thursday around the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have multiple dogs who need round the clock supervision and you book me at least three weeks before the sitting start date, than we could work that out and I could block out my housekeeping schedule for that time and just be available for the sitting job (my rates will be increased in this situation as I am priced for my current availability, not constant care and being unable to make my normal wages during the sit). In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I will spend lots of time loving and socializing your pets, and I set alarms and try to keep potty breaks frequent to avoid accidents and less stress.
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.
“Ava was great with my pup! She responded quickly, was reliable, and took her on a nice walk. I really appreciated the prompt photo updates and communication throughout the visit. I would definitely book with Ava again and would recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog walker.”

“Victoria did a great job with my Charlie. She introduced the other residents staying with her gradually so he was not overwhelmed. She keeps good control of all the dogs. She is very communicative both in setting up the appointment as well as during the visit itself, and sends videos and text updates. The only thing I was not crazy about was the artificial grass in her yard instead of real grass, but other than that, she did a great job for me.”
“Wow, we are soooo happy to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and communicative family to care for our dog! Nelia cared for our dog for 5 nights and gave so many great updates and pictures throughout, took lots of walks, and treated our dog like part of the family. Her home is super secure with a great backyard, and we had peace of mind knowing our dog was having a fun and relaxing stay. It is always hard to leave our girl, but knowing she was in such good hands and getting lots of love made this the best experience. We are so grateful to have a wonderful go-to for our pup!”
“Our dogs absolutely loved their stay with Amy! Amy sent us daily picture updates and filled us in on how the pups were doing. The dogs had a blast playing with all of the other dogs and receiving the love and attention from Amy and her family. We will definitely be going back to Amy in the future!”
“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.”
“Emily and Patrick were great sitters for Nola while we were away attending a wedding. They sent multiple pictures and video updates for us, and Nola had a great time playing with Eli! Thank you so much 😊”
“Raeann took such good care of my chihuahua Mojo while I was away! It’s the only time I’ve ever had someone else watching him where I didn’t worry about him constantly. She sent me multiple pictures/updates each day and I could tell he was relaxed and engaged. I appreciated that she checked with me if certain outings were ok (like taking him on trips in the car) and she made sure his important instructions were followed. He was clearly VERY loved and had all of his emotional and physical needs met. He settled right back in at home without any “where were you how could you have left me” like he has in the past before Raeann. Thank you again!”
“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!”
“Adrienne is a loving, flexible dog sitter. Her apartment is perfect for dogs. She really puts you at ease with contact while you are on the road. A+”
“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.”
“Jack loved his visit! They were so good with him and provided updates and photos throughout the day. Their dogs Chowder and Regina are awesome, and my dog enjoyed spending time with them. Will definitely be using them for my next upcoming trips! 10/10”
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
“Courtney is wonderful with my dogs. I can always go away and feel comfortable leaving them with. I appreciate every thing she does for them and I know they will be safe and well taken care of.”
“Sara was perfect. I booked her last minute for the first time and she did an amazing job caring for my dogs, one of which is a senior dog that needs special care. I was very anxious to leave her but Sara was very reassuring and communicated very well. She didn’t miss a beat giving my dog her medications and sent plenty of updates. When I picked my dogs up, I could just tell they were comfortable and had a great stay. Absolutely plan to use Sara again.”
“Superb!!! Christy was Awesome!! We had to Extend our stay and she was available to care for our Charlie for an extra night❤️ She kept us updated and sent us Lots and lots of Photos, our Charlie had a Great time! We will most definitely be using Christy again. 100% Recommended”
“Mary and family were the best. She treated Sullivan as one of her own, sent pictures, and was super responsive with messages. She went above and beyond to make Sullivan feel at home by allowing him to "rest" on furniture, taking him for several walks a day, and even taking him to a baseball game. I just hope she will have him back :).”
“Amber is great! My puppy Boris got plenty of attention and exercise with her while I was away for the weekend. She sent updates each night. Boris was happy as could be when I picked him up!”
