Personalized care for your dog or cat - Irwin
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Irwin
“Loved that Melissa sent updates and pics everyday. Helped me to feel confident that he was receiving excellent care. He seemed like he enjoyed his "vacation" with his pals. Will definitely use her again.”
“Listens to details from little to big to ensure a happy and safe environment. Takes time to engage with them and ensure they’re happy. Daily communication and updates. Friendly pets to engage with mine. Will book again when needed. Very thankful for a reliable sitter like Jennifer.”
“Ashlyn was great! She made the the dropoff so easy, and we had no issues. She was great with sending pictures, and eased my worries big time. This was the first time we've left our little guy in someone else's care, and I was very nervous, but she did a fantastic job walking lots and taking care of him. We would definitely have her watch him again 😁✋”
“Augusta was great! My dog is always happy to see her. I even had a flight cancelation and was late picking my dog up and Augusta was completely understanding and flexible.”
“She is absolutely amazing with my babies! She goes out of her way to make them feel loved and welcome. She also does little things that help me from being away from them and my unpacking them at home easier!”
“Johanna was absolutely excellent with my pup Mia. She kept me updated everyday by sending pictures and videos. Her dog Stella is very sweet and playful. She became to be a friend with my dog instantly. I enjoyed watching their play videos thanks to Johanne. We’ll definitely see Johanne again very soon.”
“Vivian and her family were amazing as always!! Took our pup overnight last minute notice and dealt with our delays to pick him up with no problems. We love them, and so does our dog!!”
“Jessica was great! She sent a lot of pictures during my dog's stay with her while my family was on a week of vacation. This relieved our family of concern about our dog's well being and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use Jessica's services whenever the next overnight family outing comes up! Thank you Jessica and thanks Rover! GREAT SERVICE!”
“I was so pleased with Carol's care of my Yorkie. She did an excellent job and he was so very well taken care of. I could not be happier. I was also very reassured he was in good hands as she is a regular foster parent for dogs and has lots of experience. Thank you Carol!”
“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“Left our Cavapoo of 21 months old with Andrew & Karen for a first time away from home boarding for 7 days, 6 nights. They were wonderful with him showing care 'n cuddles immediately. Andrew provided updates & photos/videos daily which eased our concerns. Did everything they said they would following Quincey's routine. Slow socialization w/their dog Finn was nicely provided & slowly helped our dog get to know others. Walks together was great to see. Laid back and easy to work with as petsitters. Appreciated them both accepting our dog into their home as one of their own. Would definitely recommend them as petsitters & will be happy to book again in the future. Thanks again Andrew & Karen!”
“Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!”
“Phenomenal experience! We booked last minute with Tara and she not only made time and room for our Echo, but made her feel at home. We received pictures or videos daily, which was much appreciated, and Echo was returned to us exhausted and ready for a nap (so were we)! A+ experience, we will be looking to use Tara again in the future.”
“Jillian was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and the experience exceeded our expectations. She offers one client at a time service which was bonus since we have a senior paced dog and a crazy puppy. Jillian was extremely responsive and provided pictures daily. Her fenced in backyard was great and the dogs really enjoyed roaming around. We will definitely use Jillian again on our next vacation without the dogs!”

“Ashlyn was great. She came 4x a week for 5-6 weeks when I was out of state. She stayed and played with my cat for a bit and didn't just feed, clean, and run. I will 100% use her again.”
“Hailey was so wonderful! She provided daily updates and did a great job caring for my cats while I was gone during the week. I knew they were in great hands😊I would definitely rebook with Hailey again in the future!”
“Gary is so sweet and personable! He dropped in to check on our two cats while we were away, and we are so grateful for his kind care. Even though our cats are shy and we jokingly said he’d probably never see them, Gary sent us a photo of evidence our one cat had been making himself at home on the dining room table lol! We will definitely be asking Gary to take care of our cats again and recommend him 100%”

“Olivia is great and very accommodating! I asked for her help last minute and she didn’t hesitate to step up. I have 2 cats and they both love her. I know she also has a pet dog of her own and has had pet cats as well. She is a natural with animals and we appreciated her help.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Irwin
About: Animals have been a passion of mine my entire life! I have owned and loved cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10. I would love to show that same love to your babies, too! I am available to do in-house stays, walking, play dates, and much more! I work full-time, but work from home so that makes it easy for me to care for your furry friend. My weekends are usually filled with playing with my puppies, but I would love to make time for your pets to join us for walks or play dates! I have a fenced in yard and an open floor plan home that allows for plenty of room to play, rain or shine. I live on a quiet street that makes walking your pet a breeze. All doors remain shut in my home to ensure no nosy pups can get in to things that they should not. I am big on taking pictures and can keep you updated on the status of your pet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your pet in my care!

“Carol has been very responsive and has taken in our girl Georgie. Georgie is a little timid and backwards at first, but Carol made her feel right at home. Georgie took to her welcoming, home environment and settled right in. She gets along great with the other babies being baby/dog sat, and Carol is very good with her. We will be using Carol in 2025!”
About: I've had a strong passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family relied on me to care for our dogs, cats, and hamsters. I now live in my own home with 4 cat children. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for several neighbors. I am very experienced at dog and cat walking, bathing, feeding, and medicine-giving. During the week I work as a full time engineer and cat mom. On the weekends, I have plenty of free time to hang out, play in the yard, or go for walks with your pet. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages (1 yr, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 6yrs). They are friendly and well-adapted to other dogs and cats. They often have playdates with my parent's 16 year old cat and 7 month old kitten. Each of my cats are vaccinated, neutered, and love making new friends! In your home, I will accommodate any requests you may have. I will ensure the safety and happiness of your pet above all else.
About: Hello! I’m Emma! I run my own dog sitting business as well as rover! I have many years of animal care including almost a year at a boarding kennel and animal rescue that I volunteered for. I have trained multiple puppy’s so if you also need training advice or just a training session please let me know! I will leave your house at the end of the day with a photo sent to you of your babies and a smile on your face! I currently work a twilight shift so I am available anytime after 11am to spend time with your fur babies when you’re away at work or vacation! My first priority is making sure that the fur baby is comfortable with me before I fully enter the home. If you need a stop-in visit I will make sure their special instructions have been completed (as in full water and food or any medications needed)
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have the ability to be able to stay home with my family and my pets and care for them during the day and night making sure no one is ever alone ❤️ Currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old and 2 year old twins! With being home I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your fur babies. We love adventures like playing in the fenced in yard, throwing ball and going on long walks. Of course there is always love and cuddle time scheduled in with us too We bought our house for our yard! Lots of room for playing outside in the safety of not having to worry about your pets roaming off. We have a crate available for dogs who need it and are crate trained. Of course only if the owner request will they be in it.
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart for them. I have worked in boarding facilities for dogs and cats and currently have 2 overly spoiled dogs I try to take everywhere with me, and 1 cat who runs the household. I know how hard it is to leave them behind and always be sure they are in the best, most loving care possible. I have work from home capability to tend to your best friend 24/7! No amount of potty breaks are too many and there are no time restrictions on feedings. I have a fenced in yard out back and 2 friendly dogs for your fur baby to keep company. I have a play pen for smaller dogs if necessary.
About: While I am currently unemployed and staying at my parents home, our family dog (Havanese) of 17 years recently passed away in February 2026. Now that my mother is retiring this summer, we wish to fill the empty home, and our combined newly gained free time, with some furry friends! For in-home boarding we will be a mother-son team with pretty wide open schedules to care for our furry guests, and will provide a great big house and yard in a great pet-friendly neighborhood for them to enjoy! I can also sit at your home if that is more convenient for you and the pet. My parents dog recently passed away at the age of 17. While I was living with them I helped to raise and care for her throughout the years. I thankfully and gratefully have always had dogs to care for throughout my entire life, from as a young child all the way to just recently with the passing of our most recent dog in February 2026. Your pet will have our full attention and their health and happiness will be the priority. We don't live very busy lives and have lots of extra free time now to care for them.
“Beatriz was amazing!!! She was so willing to help us in a bind for a last minute booking and we are so glad we met her! We have 2 chihuahua mixes; one is very anxious and can be a handful sometimes. He is quite fearful of new people, animals, and places. Within minutes of us dropping the dogs off, Beatriz texted me photos of both dogs playing in a pack with others and even snuggling up with her soaking up the attention! It was amazing. She is so patient and kind. Truly someone we would certainly trust with our dogs again!”
About: I have taken care of two of the most precious weenies for the last 10 years. While their owners traveled the world I walked and cared for them. I would love to be able to experience new breeds and also get outdoors since I love fitness and exercise. As a former bikini competitor, and gym rat I crave everything fitness. Can’t wait to meet some new 4 legged friends!!! Wednesday afternoon, Saturdays and Sundays are best. I am a full time medical assistant the other days. On my half days and weekends off I enjoy anything outside and absolutely love parks to explore! If you’d ask my husband I go above and beyond with pets! 😆 I am a little high maintenance when it comes to care. I currently only have hens, but if you’d ask anyone they live in the Taj Mahal of coops
“Our dog took to Kim and Dave instantly ( which never happens). They took excellent care of her, and sent several photos. And you could tell that she was very relaxed and comfortable in their company. I highly recommend Kim. Thanks again.”
About: I’m a full-time professional with three years of experience teaching manners at Humane Animal Rescue, and I’m excited to welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs into my home for boarding. My approach combines safety, structure, and enrichment so your dog feels secure, happy, and fulfilled during their stay. My home is set up with safety in mind—hazards are kept out of reach, and visiting pets are supervised closely every day. I have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and while there are a few steps, I make sure each dog’s needs are accommodated. We have a securely gated setup in our dining room where dogs can be separated for rest time throughout the day as needed, or simply to decompress if they want their own space! Rotating between my own dog and yours in this accommodated space will be a part of our routine if your dog needs more personalized attention, but only if needed. Before any stay, I require a meet-and-greet with my own well-socialized pit bull mix and cat. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and sets the tone for a stress-free visit. I also honor your preferred training methods and routines while adding daily mental and physical enrichment—sniff walks, puzzle toys, and engagement games—to keep your pup’s mind and body happy. Whether your dog thrives on quiet companionship or loves a more active, engaging schedule, I’ll make sure they feel cared for like family. I currently am a full time working professional with a hybrid schedule. I work two days in office and my husband works from home daily. Your pet will always be attended to and cared for like our own. I understand the importance of peace of mind when trusting your pet with another person. Extra attention and care is always taken to ensure pet safety, whether this be around open doors, while on walks, or any other particular needs they have.
“Steve was a big help so we could have peace of mind that Maive was being well cared for while we where visiting In the east Pittsburgh area. Big fenced in yard! We had to change the drop off time and Steve always quick to respond, would definitely use his dog sitting services again.”

“Had a last minute same day request for our 6 month old puppy Zari! Rebecca responded immediately and was able to accommodate the drop in/walk visit! Communication was excellent. We will be utilizing her again in the future.”
About: I started caring for animals at age 4 when I began riding and working at a barn with 25 horses. At age 14, I began my first job at a pet grooming and boarding facility. At 19, I began pet sitting for families on my summers home from college. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I enjoy spending my time with them. I have cared for animals of all ages, so I am equipped with the knowledge to handle seniors, babies, and everyone in between. I have also cared for animals of all sizes, so I am able to handle animals from hamsters to horses. I have had years of experience administering medicine both orally and through injection. My experience allows me to notice details that keep animals safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a part time job working with kids. I am at that job from 8:30am-1:30pm Monday-Friday. In the evening, I go to the gym for an hour or two. I am a homebody, so if I’m not at work or in the gym, I will be spending all my time with your pet, giving them the attention and love that they deserve. I love spending time outside, so I try to take pets on walks or have them run around outside with me when I can. If our time cannot be spent outside, playtime is brought inside. We play until one of us needs to take a breather (usually the pet wins). During the evening, generally I spend quality time cuddling with pets while watching a movie or doing some schoolwork. I like taking pictures with pets to send to owners so they know their fur baby is well taken care of and happy.
“Thank you Mariah for caring for my two pups! I have a senior and a reactive dog that both require great patience and care. I am also fairly particular with who I trust caring for my dogs; however, Mariah was wonderful and made the pups comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.
About: Hi! Some things you might like to know about me: I’m a wife, I love animals (obviously) the outdoors, gardening, reading, history and I’m a nurse who graduated from Saint Vincent college - I could be a great fit for you and your pet! I’ve had many growing up: dogs, cats, goats, chickens and bunnies. I’m very comfortable with caring for animals and have experience with all different kinds from my own pets, friends, and animal shelter volunteering. I’m also open to watch and care for any other types of pets that might not fit the category of cat or dog! Message me so we can discuss! As a nurse, I only work 3 days per week! Typically one time or “on occasion” jobs work best, and attending 2x daily might not be possible if it’s on a day that i work and my 3 days that I work vary from week to week. However, please reach out anyways to see if this could be a perfect fit! I’d love to see what i could do. I’m a very responsible and organized person, so I could safely play with your dog(s) or cat(s) in your home or around the neighborhood. Being a nurse has made me much more aware and attentive of needs such as fresh water availability, food, safety and happiness for both people and animals!
“Marie was amazing! She took care of my doggos. She was confident and reliable with time and my dogs. She handled them with care! My dogs were so happy to see her and go with Marie for walks. We will definitely be rebooking with Marie! She’s awesome! Also she sent lots of pictures of them which I always appreciate and look forward to, putting me at ease when I was not around.”
About: I’ve lived with all sizes of dogs throughout my life, and I’ve been close to every one of them. I also have an older cat who receives just as much love every day! I’m a university student, so my evenings after 3pm are usually wide open in the spring and fall. On weekends or during summer, I can do any time of day! My home is not available for pet sitting, so I’m happy to walk dogs in your neighborhood or visit your pet in the safety of your own home! I’m okay with any range of attention-demanding pets and antisocial pets. I’m happy to feed your pets, play with them, walk them, or just keep an eye on them.
About: Hi! I'm a reliable, patient pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and take pride in providing the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and cuddly, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I’m both a dog lover *and* a cat lover, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a teacher, I am off summers, weekends, and holidays, so my schedule is flexible to take care of your pet when you need it most! I am extremely professional and reliable. In your home, I would happily take any and all directions you may have in order to safely and reliably take care of your animal.
“Olivia R. Is wonderful. You can tell she loves dogs. Olivia is very good with Crosby. If something comes up and you need to make a change to the scheduled walk she will accommodate you if possible. I highly recommend Olivia R.”
About: I have experience taking care of big dogs, small dogs, big cats, small cats, chickens, lizards, rabbits, and fish. I have experience looking after pets of friends and family while they're out of the house for the past 5 years. I have a great deal of patience in training and caring for animals. I'm currently available on weekends, with Fridays most preferred. I work fulltime Monday through Thursday so at the moment those days are going to remain unavailable. I believe respect for animals, owners, and their environment to be super important. I adhere to any rules and guidelines when entering a client's home and I work to provide my client's pet with my utmost attention and full energy. I am down for taking pets on walks, playing with them till they wear themselves out, feeding and cleaning up after them, and anything else they might need.
About: Hi! I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up babysitting tons of puppies and adult dogs. I also have a so much love for them and they make me so happy. I have lots of experience with small dogs! I have a house with an enclosed big backyard as well! I will never be leaving them at home and will cuddle and be able to play with them 24/7. I currently am a student and I don’t have classes everyday or another full time job! I have a lot of time to give to these dogs. I make sure the dog is comfortable and safe. My number one priority is having them be as relaxed as possible and enjoy their day! I will always be at home which allows for regular potty breaks and a fenced in backyard as well to maximize their playing time. I have tons of experience with puppies as well!
About: I have loved animals since I was a small child. I got my first cat over 15 years ago and still love her dearly. My parents wouldn’t allow me to have a dog so I had to wait until I moved out when I was 20. After buying my house I rescued my neighbors dog that was permanently locked up in an outdoor kennel. Unfortunately she already had Lyme disease so it was for less than a year that I was able to give her a good quality of life. I then adopted my ex-coworkers German Shepard who was 5. Unfortunately despite all my efforts to have her live longer than her lifespan I lost her years later due to paralyzing seizures. Not too long after that I sold my house and have not been stable enough to get another dog due to my constant traveling. I love dogs and want to have another but can’t make a life long commitment at this time. However I can make a day/week/month long commitment to take care of your loved dog. It would be a pleasure to take care of your fur baby/babies. I work from home so I’m only gone for a couple/few hours out of the day to go to the gym and maybe grocery shop. I frequently go on walks when the weather permits and would love to bring your dog with me. If you have a dog who pulls as hard as they can I do prefer that you have a gentle leader. I am available all days and times when I am not traveling. I have a large yard at the end of a cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood. I do have two cats who have lived with dogs before. If watching your loved pet I ask for details on what your expectations are to insure that you are 100 percent satisfied with my care for your fur baby.

I also have experience with elderly and special needs animals. I have a flexible work schedule so I can work around your schedule! I can come up to three times a day, whatever times you may need. Whatever your wishes are for your pet as far as crating, running in a fenced yard, or having to be individually walked I am open to working to keep your pet on the same routine as if you were home!
About: I have always taken care of multiple dogs at a time every since I was a young kid. I am always reliable for the job. I work part-time so I am able to do pet care before and after work and on my days off. My part-time job is Monday through Thursday. I am always playing fetch, walking my dogs, and giving treats. I love knowing that they are happy and healthy by watching their tails wag.

“Listens to details from little to big to ensure a happy and safe environment. Takes time to engage with them and ensure they’re happy. Daily communication and updates. Friendly pets to engage with mine. Will book again when needed. Very thankful for a reliable sitter like Jennifer.”
“Ashlyn was great! She made the the dropoff so easy, and we had no issues. She was great with sending pictures, and eased my worries big time. This was the first time we've left our little guy in someone else's care, and I was very nervous, but she did a fantastic job walking lots and taking care of him. We would definitely have her watch him again 😁✋”
“She is absolutely amazing with my babies! She goes out of her way to make them feel loved and welcome. She also does little things that help me from being away from them and my unpacking them at home easier!”
“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”
“Left our Cavapoo of 21 months old with Andrew & Karen for a first time away from home boarding for 7 days, 6 nights. They were wonderful with him showing care 'n cuddles immediately. Andrew provided updates & photos/videos daily which eased our concerns. Did everything they said they would following Quincey's routine. Slow socialization w/their dog Finn was nicely provided & slowly helped our dog get to know others. Walks together was great to see. Laid back and easy to work with as petsitters. Appreciated them both accepting our dog into their home as one of their own. Would definitely recommend them as petsitters & will be happy to book again in the future. Thanks again Andrew & Karen!”
“Phenomenal experience! We booked last minute with Tara and she not only made time and room for our Echo, but made her feel at home. We received pictures or videos daily, which was much appreciated, and Echo was returned to us exhausted and ready for a nap (so were we)! A+ experience, we will be looking to use Tara again in the future.”
“Coralee takes care of our two dogs during the holidays and treats them like part of the family! We are so grateful to have such a kind, reliable caretaker for our fur babies while we are out of town”
“Brittany was amazing! She willingly met for a meet and greet to ensure all of our comfort levels, including my two fur babies, before I even agreed to book. She also responded immediately any time I reached out. She sent me photos, and I just knew Xena and Bruno were happy and well loved during my vacation. I would 💯 book with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart for them. I have worked in boarding facilities for dogs and cats and currently have 2 overly spoiled dogs I try to take everywhere with me, and 1 cat who runs the household. I know how hard it is to leave them behind and always be sure they are in the best, most loving care possible. I have work from home capability to tend to your best friend 24/7! No amount of potty breaks are too many and there are no time restrictions on feedings. I have a fenced in yard out back and 2 friendly dogs for your fur baby to keep company. I have a play pen for smaller dogs if necessary.
“Emily and her family made me feel so comfortable leaving Apollo. I was nervous to leave him since we just moved to a new place but she took time to introduce our pets and bring him into her home as their dog. So grateful. I will book again.”
“Erin took care of my dog while I was in the hospital giving birth. She was very flexible with the start and end of the stay which is invaluable in that situation. He seemed to get exercise and even had a new golden retriever friend for the first day to play with. He didnt seem stressed in the pictures we received and got home looking happy and healthy much food in there! Would recommend to others.”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful taking care of my older & impaired dog, Pepper!! I could not ask for a more caring & loving person to help me out while I was away for over a week! I highly recommend Nicole and will definitely be using her 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.”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Victoria did a wonderful job making Freya feel safe and happy on her first night away from our house. She went out of her way to always let us know how Freya was doing. Freya came home happy and tired from playing, we will be back!”
“She is amazing with dogs. She even goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is safe with a gps collar when they go to the dog park. She is responsible and responsive and will share pics and check in at whatever frequency you are comfortable with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their pup.”
