“Tia and her family were great! Jax had a great time. She is great with communicating and sent lots of pics/videos! Definitely recommend her to anyone in the Pittsburgh area.”
“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!”
“I have a really hard time leaving my dog with anyone but Denyal made me feel comfortable. She sent a lot of pictures and responded quickly when I checked in with her. My dog got lots of exercise and attention, and since other dogs were staying with her as well, they all played together. I would highly recommend Denyal.”
“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!”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“For my first time using Rover, I was very pleased with Augusta. She is very nice, calm and patient. I appreciated her good communication which gave me peace knowing my fur baby was in good hands.”
“Raeann is a compassionate and caring person who showed great affection towards our 12 y/o girl. Would recommend her services and would like to use her services in the future.”
“Pet boarding requires a lot of trust, and there’s no one else in Pittsburgh that I’d trust more to care for dog than Mike. He takes great care, ensures plenty of active time outdoors, and always keeps me updated on how my pet is doing during stays. When I return, my dog looks like she is right at home, so I know she always enjoys the company of Mike, Roxy, Norm, and the family. Absolutely recommend booking with Mike”
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!
“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.”
“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!”
“Breanna was everything we could have asked for in a sitter! She sent lots of photos and updates, had toys for our dog to play with, and even took him for his favorite treat, a pup cup! She was very communicative and asked great questions to make sure she knew everything he needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”
“Lucas did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely trust him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter”
“Once again, success! My dog Teddy much enjoyed his 2nd stay with Ellyn & family. We very much appreciate her conscientiousness & flexibility, as well as ease of communication. Most of all knowing Teddy is being cared for in a loving family environment while I’m away is the best thing ever!”
“Sharon was the perfect sitter for our mini labradoodle Sydney. She took excellent care of Sydney and kept us updated with texts, pics and videos throughout our trip. We felt that Sydney was safe and loved while we were away and could relax and enjoy our trip. We will definitely be contacting Sharon to see if she is available next time we need a sitter!”

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.

About: My partner Jack and I love caring for pets! Both of us have been caretakers for pets practically our whole lives, including senior pets and pets with special needs, in addition to small animals like rodents and birds. Whoever you need help with, we’re more than capable. We are so excited to get to know your pets. With us, your pets will get all the attention and exercise they need during your busy day. We are both very attentive to your pets needs and do our best to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We know just how important your companion is to you, so safety is taken into consideration at all times. We keep dogs on leashes at all times when letting them go outside. I work as a barista at a coffee shop and Jack is an employee at Pitt. Together our schedules allow us to have at least 1 person home for most of the day. On rare occasions when neither of us are home, at most we are away for 3-4 hours. We have a large yard with a lead and 2 cats. Our house is moderately sized, with room for playing and relaxing. We are attentive to feeding schedules and potty breaks.

They were so detailed and fun to read!! I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch my cats and will definitely be booking her again!”
“I honestly dont think there are words that can describe how incredible this girl is. In 4 days she turned my INSANELY anxious cat who has never once came out for a sitter into how he acts just like he is with me, a cute crazy playful little boy. When she kept me updated on photos and videos of them two playing i was shocked! She is hands down the best on the app and i am so thankful to have found her. Love, molly courtney and cooper”
“Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”

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.
“Christy watched my dog for daycare for a week and was great! My dog is deaf and blind so it’s difficult finding someone I trust with her, but Christy was wonderful and sent lots of photos each day.”
“Justin is absolutely wonderful! My sweet, quirky fur baby had a great time hanging out with him. He sent updates and pictures (which always makes a dog mama smile) and was very easy to get in touch with. We will definitely be booking another stay with him 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.
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats taken them on walks making sure they were fed and making sure they are taken care of I currently doing CDL school Monday-Thursday 5:00-10pm so any time before or after I can take care of pets. I love all pets so any pet will do I make sure they are fed and well taken care of if they need to go on a walk I will take them as well

About: Hi! I'm Bre – a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of pet-sitting experience in both NYC and Pittsburgh. I’m based near Swisshelm Park and have cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life. I grew up with a loyal Yellow Lab, a beautiful Golden Retriever, a spunky Jack Russell, and three cats, and am well-versed in the unique personalities and needs of all types of furry friends. Over the years, I’ve provided everything from dog walking and drop-in visits to overnight care and extended house sitting. At the moment, I'm available for walks and drop-in visits. While I’d love to have a dog of my own, my current living situation doesn't allow for it –which just means I have extra love and attention to give to yours! I’m responsible, punctual, and trustworthy. I’m also playful, affectionate, and very in tune with the different energy levels and preferences pets may have. Whether your pup or kitty is full of energy or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll adapt to their needs. You can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during our time together. I’d be happy to meet up for an introduction before booking – just reach out with any questions! I am also independently insured outside of the Rover Guarantee through Pet Sitters Associates. I have a fairly flexible schedule — perfect for daytime walks, outdoor playtime, and evening care. My availability is generally between 8 AM and 10 PM, so I can easily accommodate a variety of routines. At the moment, I’m only offering walks and drop-in visits (no overnight stays), but I’m happy to provide multiple check-ins throughout the day to keep your pet comfortable and cared for in their own home. Please note for April 13-April 30: I will be unavailable for drop-ins + walks after 12pm. I’m more than happy to come to your home to ensure your pets are cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they need in a familiar environment. I approach every sitting with the understanding that I’m stepping into your pet’s world—their home, routine, and safe space. I prioritize consistency and a calm, gentle presence, especially for anxious or timid pets. I’m mindful of my tone, volume, and movements, and I keep routines as normal as possible. With repeat visits, I use the same soft greeting so they begin to recognize and feel safe with me. I never force interaction and always allow pets to approach on their own terms, building trust at their pace.
“Lucas, his dog Luna, and their whole family are wonderful! This was Walter’s first Rover experience and he had an amazing time! His seven month old self has never been so tired!!”
“It was Riley's first road trip to Philly (from GA). While his humans cheered on the Temple football team, Brittani provided excellent care and showed Riley around! She even took professional-grade photos of his walks! And, Riley enjoyed playing with her fur baby. If Riley's in town for any other home Temple football game, he'll be asking to go to Brittani's!!”

He was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the timing and was very eager to help. His corgi Watson is adorable and a very social dog. Our dog was anxious but Justin was able to keep her company and sooth her while we were gone for a few hours, she eventually relaxed and laid her head on his lap!

About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!
“Zachary's first walk with Jagger was a success! He had excellent communication and kept me updated with pics. It was clear my dog had a wonderful time because he was in a great mood when I got home. Highly recommended.”
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everyone they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.

Please note for April 13-April 30: I will be unavailable for drop-ins + walks after 12pm. I’m more than happy to come to your home to ensure your pets are cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they need in a familiar environment. I approach every sitting with the understanding that I’m stepping into your pet’s world—their home, routine, and safe space. I prioritize consistency and a calm, gentle presence, especially for anxious or timid pets. I’m mindful of my tone, volume, and movements, and I keep routines as normal as possible. With repeat visits, I use the same soft greeting so they begin to recognize and feel safe with me. I never force interaction and always allow pets to approach on their own terms, building trust at their pace.
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.

“Nelia and Brett were wonderful. They cared for Bronson as if he were a part of their household and were very communicative and accommodating. I highly recommend their service.”
“I have a really hard time leaving my dog with anyone but Denyal made me feel comfortable. She sent a lot of pictures and responded quickly when I checked in with her. My dog got lots of exercise and attention, and since other dogs were staying with her as well, they all played together. I would highly recommend Denyal.”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Raeann is a compassionate and caring person who showed great affection towards our 12 y/o girl. Would recommend her services and would like to use her services in the future.”
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!
“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.”
“Breanna was everything we could have asked for in a sitter! She sent lots of photos and updates, had toys for our dog to play with, and even took him for his favorite treat, a pup cup! She was very communicative and asked great questions to make sure she knew everything he needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”
“Once again, success! My dog Teddy much enjoyed his 2nd stay with Ellyn & family. We very much appreciate her conscientiousness & flexibility, as well as ease of communication. Most of all knowing Teddy is being cared for in a loving family environment while I’m away is the best thing ever!”
“Adrienne takes wonderful care of Finn and gives us tons of adorable updates of his adventures throughout the day. He's always so excited to stay with Adrienne. Thanks again!”
“Damara was wonderful! She was very caring and thoughtful with Theo. From the pictures and communication I could tell that Theo enjoyed his time with Demara and her daughter. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Justin did a great job watching my dog. She's older and gets some seperation anxiety but Justin managed it all perfectly. She enjoyed walks and couch naps and Justin periodically sent picture updates. He was flexible with drop off and pick up. I'd definitely work with him again in the future and recommend him to others.”
“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.”
“Valerie is an amazing pet sitter!!! She took great care of my sweet senior dog with medical issues. She followed my instructions exactly. She took him on several walks a day, trail hiking, and even took him to the pet store to buy him a bone marrow bone ❤️. She exceeded my expectations and I rebooked with her for this coming week. A++++++”
“Maria takes great care of our golden Bella! The updates and photos are always appreciated and give us peace of mind that Bella is also having fun while we are away! The treat bag she sent home with Bella was such a cute personal touch and an example of going above and beyond what is expected!”
“We took our two boys while traveling and they really enjoyed their time and I could tell they quickly warmed up to Michelle and her husband!!! My younger dog has anxiety and is nervous around men but he really bonded with them and seemed so relaxed!! They were happy when we arrived to pick them up but still went to get pets from them while chatting. She sent pictures every day and I could tell they really enjoyed their backyard every day which is their favorite place to be at home!! Their communication was great and I felt relaxed to have such a great sitter and I will definitely be using them again whenever we travel!!!”
“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
