Highly-rated overnight sitters - Portersville
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Erin! We received consistent updates with pictures. Erin was flexible with arranging a meet and greet beforehand. We will definitely be reaching out to Erin again when we need someone to watch our dog!”
“Our Irish Setters had a wonderful time and were happy to see us and come home. Stacey was great with communication and sent us some pictures of Fiadh and Milo having a grand old time. We look forward to them being able to stay with her again!”
“Kash had a wonderful time staying with Briana, her family and his new friend Duke! Briana sent several pictures daily and kept up updated on his eating, playing and sleeping routine. We knew he was getting the love and attention as if he was home.”
“Shyann was so good with Nova. And I must say Nova loved playing with Poppy. Everything was great she sent me pictures and I just knew Nova was doing great with her. I know that I will definitely be taking Nova back she was wore out at a great day. I would recommend Shyann to everyone.”
“Gina was amazing! She watched our dog on our wedding night and was flexible and communicative, and sent us tons of updates and pictures. Our dog was happy and comfortable staying with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“BEST DOG SITTERS EVER!!! Lindsey and her entire family are the most loving people you could ever want to watch your dog! I actually think our frenchy is missing his new found family and their wonderful pups who he played with all day long! We have never boarded him for that long (9 nights!) and were very apprehensive about leaving him. But Lindsey had us come over to meet her, her family and their dogs to make sure we felt comfortable. Afterwards, we just knew that our Ronan would be safe, sound and very loved while we were gone. We will never use anyone else! Thanks so much for everything!!”
“Mary is so great! She is friendly, communicative, thorough and does a wonderful job keeping in touch and sending pictures. She was able to accommodate our last minute reservation and was flexible with pick-up. I could tell my girls had a ton of fun at Mary's house and came home tired and happy. I would definitely recommend Mary and will be using her again in the future!”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Anthony and Leni were great with Leni while our family went on vacation! Leni is still a pup and has a lot of energy and they were able to keep her entertained the entire week!! We highly recommend Anthony and Leslie to everyone!!!”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Devin and Tim are amazing!! Our dog Balto enjoyed every minute of his stay and really enjoyed their dog Luna. Luna made Balto feel right at home and kept him busy playing during his stay. They send pictures and kept us updated throughout his stay. Would highly recommend Devin and Tim!!”
“Jeannine was wonderful, friendly and accommodating. She ensured my puppy had a great time and even sent me pictures of her playing. She has a nice piece of property with many sorts of animals and it looked like a great place for a pet. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely drop my puppy off at her place.”
“This was their first stay, my pups were super happy the whole time and they came back safe and sound. I can tell from the photos they had a great time! Maria and Tony were very sweet.”
“By far the best option on here! I’ve now taken my little Pomeranian Woody back to back vacations I’ve been on and it’s been great. Plenty of updates are provided and my dog was truly treated like one of the family all week long! Definitely recommend and will be returning!”

“Rhianna was great! My cats warmed up to her quickly (and they're usually pretty shy), and she sent regular updates and pictures. I was nervous to leave them for a long vacation, but I was comfortable knowing that they were cared for and had some company. I will definitely book with Rhianna again!”

I understand the love people have for their pets and I will give the same love to them.

I loved taking walks and just being around that fun energy. I would love to help take care of your pet!

About: I’m an animal lover! I not only grew up with several pets including cats, dogs, fish, parakeets, & hermit crabs - but I now have two cats and two dogs of my own. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to check on your pets when you’re in a bind. That’s why I decided to reactivate this account, to help others out! Pet services give me the pleasure of working with animals while helping out the owner. I enjoy running, walking, hiking, and play time, as well as just relaxing with animals. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love and care. Availability : Mondays = After 5pm Tuesdays / Wednesdays / Thursdays = 12-1pm & After 4:30pm Fridays = After 3:30pm Saturdays & Sunday’s = Open I treat all animals as if they were my own which includes patience, love, affection, and gentleness. I’m also accommodating to their specific mannerisms such as high energy, size, disability, etc.
About: I’ve spent the recent summer working with animals both domesticated and wild. Animals are a great joy in my life and I grew up with a wild variety. Also had some experience with Daycare services in 2023! I’m currently working two other jobs along side going to school at RMU but I always find time within my schedule to find time for your animals. I always obey what the rules are for each set of parents when working with animals. Some animals require specific attention while others may just need a friend. Either way, I’m always going to bring the best experience for your animals.
“Cassandra was WONDERFUL! My cats were happy when I got home, but I could tell that they were lovingly cared for. Cassandra sent me pictures every day and messaged me to see if there was anything else that she could do for me. The house was immaculate when I came home and the sheets were washed. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely caring young lady!”
About: Hi! I’m Kiersten, a dedicated cat lover who understands that cats deserve care that respects their unique personalities, routines, and boundaries. I have experience caring for cats of all ages — from playful kittens to calm seniors — and I truly enjoy building trust with each one at their own pace. I’m comfortable with all aspects of cat care, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming basics, and administering medication when needed. Whether your cat is social and affectionate or more independent and reserved, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to small details — appetite changes, behavior shifts, and overall comfort — and I always communicate updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your cat feel as relaxed and loved as possible until you return home. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’d love to care for your feline family member! 🐱💛

Perfect for high energy dogs - Portersville
“Melissa and her family were so amazing with my dog, Cooper. They graciously took him last minute for 2 daycare visits and treated him just like one of their own. He got tons of outside time and snuggles and was tired out when I picked him up each time. We gradually introduced the dogs and they got along well. You can tell their house is full of love– I felt very comfortable leaving my pup there to enjoy his time.”
“If I could give Melli 10 stars I would. This was my first time using rover and I have never left my dog with anyone other than a personal friend or family member before. Melli was absolutely amazing with Ari and I so sincerely appreciate all she did to put me at ease. She truly went above and beyond—providing me with photos throughout the day, spending extra time with me during our meet and greet. She is incredibly caring, a true animal lover and really accommodated me. When I came to pick up Ari he was relaxed and happy. I can not recommend her more highly and so appreciate all she did to take care of my little loved one.”
“Michael was the best of the best. This was our first time leaving our puppy with anybody since we’ve gotten him and we couldn’t have chosen someone better off of Rover. We will continue to book with Michael moving forward. He updated us with videos and pictures and took the best care of our little guy thank you, Michael.”
“Erin was very responsive. I love that she sends update photos of Litte Hay. She has a bigger dog that get along so well with Little Hay, which is a plus since my little girl loves meeting new friends. Will definitely rebook wirh Erin again.”
About: I am a patient and caring dog owner who has been surrounded by pets my whole life. They are a complete part of our family! I currently work from home with my 1 small senior dog (under 10 pounds) in the house. In the past, I have had Labrador Retrievers and a Viszla. All have been rescues. In recent years, I was heavily involved in a senior dog rescue and fostered a wide variety of dogs. Many of the dogs had supplemental needs, requiring additional care. This included strict medication schedules, teaching blind dogs to navigate their surroundings, teaching dogs with special needs to learn confidence and better mobility, and even one from a hoarding situation that needed to completely learn socialization skills and how to walk on grass! Your dog will be completely pampered and showered with affection during the time we are together. Your dog will be treated like a royal guest! We have plenty of large windows to look out and soft couches to relax on. We even have stools at each couch for our smaller guests to get up and down easily! :) If your pup prefers alone time, we have plenty of doggie beds for them to choose from. I strive to offer them a home away from home, all while allowing them to freedom to wander and relax wherever they feel comfortable. I look forward to meeting your pup! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule that is determined by me. I am home all day and can attend to your pet's needs whenever necessary. If they are at my home, I allow your pet to wander freely and find a spot to relax wherever they feel comfortable. My goal is to provide them with as much playtime and attention as they want when we are together. I will live up to your expectations and follow directions completely. I look forward to caring for your pet in whatever way necessary. I have experience caring for dogs with extreme needs and will be sure to give your pet the best care in the world. I will also send pictures and/or videos of our time together if you wish.
“Mary was great! My puppy was a little apprehensive at first but by the end of the day settled right in. She had great communication and sent a few photos during the day and kept me updated to ease my anxiety.”
“Maria and Tony are the sweetest people and their home and backyard is puppy heaven. It was my first time leaving Brucey with them and they sent pics of the fun he was having. The communication is great, Especially for this nervous first time puppy mom. I feel so good knowing that he will be well taken care of on our upcoming week long vacation. Thank you so much!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats alike as long as I can remember. My family, neighbors, and friends trust their fur babies with me because I treat them like they are my own. I am a stay at home wife, so my day is completely free to look after your fur babies. I have all the time needed to provide a safe and happy stay. I have a fenced yard and two of my own fur babies to keep your baby happy and entertained. The babies are allowed on the furniture and in my bed if they need it.
“GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!! We were in town working a vendor event at Cooper's Lake. I took my dogs to Gina for doggy day care while we were at the event. One of my dogs is a big, strong, hyper, crazy, high energy goofball that loves everyone and and wants to play nonstop. The other dog is the polar opposite. She's a rescue that came from some unknown traumatic past. She doesn't trust people easily and it takes her a while to warm up to you. Gina matches both their energy perfectly, and they love her! When they spotted her house they were so excited! Even my Paisley was so excited she was squealing! When you have a dog like that you worry about their happiness all the time because they're so emotionally fragile and it takes a LOT for you to leave them with someone unless your 100% sure they're ok. Gina is that type of dogsitter. During the day I got pictures of them on their adventures around her property, updates about their mood and silly pictures of them playing and eating their snacks. She spoiled them rotten! Every night I picked them up they were happy, happy, happy and exhausted! If you need someone to care for your pups I can't even begin to tell you how fantastic my experience was with Gina.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and honestly just love being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or staying with them while you’re away, I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one and treating them like they’re my own. 🐾🤍 🐾 Monday–Friday: Flexible availability throughout the day since I work remotely and can adjust my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. 🐾 Weekends: Limited availability due to other work commitments, but feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate when possible. I know pets are family, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles, and make sure they’re happy in their own environment. I’ll also send updates and pictures because I know I’d want them too! 🐶🐾
About: I have had a dog my entire life. When my last one passed, my heart was broken and I haven’t been able to get another one. I watched my daughter’s dog for a year but took her back about a year ago to Idaho. I work from home and it’s very quiet without any four-legged friends to keep me company throughout the day. I would love to help you out by watching your fur baby (& I can’t lie, it would make my heart happy to do so :)) I only book for one owner at a time & I do require a Meet & Greet to make sure I am a good fit for you & your furry friend. I work from home and have the flexibility to take them out for walks as needed. I walk multiple times a day & would love to share that with a dog. Because I work from home, I am easily able to give a lot of love to your fur baby so that you can relax and not worry about a thing. I will love them like they are my own!
“I was nervous as my dogs have never been in a kennel or boarding/daycare facility and my one is almost 13 years old. They had a blast! They were both happy and tired when they got home. Jeannine was great with updates and pictures. I will absolutely be taking them back!”
“This is the first time I used Rover for dog sitting, and I absolutely hit the jackpot with Greg!!! I highly recommend him to anyone in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh for dog-related services. He is very friendly, caring, highly flexible, and trustworthy, and he maintained excellent communication/was highly responsive during the week that he watched my lab, Lily. Not a single concern crossed my radar leaving Lily with Greg for doggy day care. I knew she was in good hands and would be looked after well.”
“Evan and Courtney took great care of our dog when she was with them for a day. Our dog spent the day running around with Murphy and came home tired and ready to nap 😃 we highly recommend them for anyone seeking pet care services!”
“Laura was wonderful with our puppy! She was super communicative and provided a clean, warm, and safe space for our dog for the day. Our young puppy was well supervised, had plenty of bathroom breaks, opportunities for rest and exercise, and lots of great enrichment thanks to Laura's unique household set-up. I feel very fortunate to have found Laura as a great option to send my dog and have already booked several more dates.”
About: I am a retired teacher with a lot of experience in pet care. I had 2 medium sized dogs and have cared for dogs of family members. I am a recently retired teacher with a ton of free time. I have reliable transportation and a welcoming, clean home. I have a lot of availability. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. I live in a small, quiet neighborhood. I enjoy taking daily walks and would love company on those walks.
About: I am a single mom with 20 year old daughter who is away at college. I have a golden retriever who loves to have dog friends visit. Your pet will get the same TLC as my own dog. They will be a part of our family while they are with us. I have a fenced in yard, making it easy for your pet to be safe and get some exercise too. I have been watching dogs in my home for about 25 years. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I am gone on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from about 10-4, so I am almost always home aside from the occasional errands. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I can always run home in the middle of the day if a potty break is needed. Accidents are ok too. Mine has had a few over the years. Your dog will never be in trouble if this happens. You won’t have to worry about your dogs when they are with me. They will be treated like family. I work from home, so your pets will rarely be left alone. When they are, it is just for brief periods for when I running errands. I have a fenced in yard and w very friendly fur baby of my own. I can let them out frequently and always supervise outside even though my yard is fenced. I am able to feed them if they are here during meal time. I will just need to know if your dog is food possessive so I can make sure they eat separately from my dog. Unfortunately I can’t leave your dogs food down throughout the day because my dog will eat it.
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.

“Rhianna was fantastic. Libbie looked forward to her afternoon walks while we were in town. She was prompt, provided great communication, and took some of the best animated pics of Libbie! I plan to connect with her again next time I am back in town.”
About: I’ve had a lifetime of caring for a wide range of animals. Particularly dogs and horses but all creatures welcome. Good with body language and attentive to animals needs. I’m an avid hiker and love taking dogs for walks. 💕 I work part time from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. This flexibility lends itself well to constant care required by puppies, the elderly and other special souls. I rarely host multiple families of dogs at one time (might be some overlap on pickup/drop off days) and prefer to focus on a quality experience for the dog over multiple bookings. If you make a request and I tell you it’s not a good fit at this time, it’s because I have carefully considered the safety and happiness of another client. Your pet will not be left unattended for extended periods of time during the day. This is a hobby for me and I do it because I enjoy it, and know firsthand how stressful it can be to find quality pet care especially on short notice. I take the responsibility of caring for your animal seriously. I live in a rural area on a road with very little traffic. We have two horses, chickens and two dogs on our 14 acre property. I do not have a fenced area and use tie outs for porch lounging and hand walking for potty runs. Your pet will have access to the main floor of my house (no stairs) including furniture (if allowed). The ability to change the floor plan also allows to separate animals if beneficial.
About: I am a trained dog-bather and work alongside a professional dog groomer. I also work in the doggy daycare setting so I am used to correcting behavior and finding ways to keep your doggo entertained! My work and I also offer nail trim clinics for dogs.

“Isabelle’s love of animals shines thru her smile. My sugar loves her. They had a wonderful tail wagging walk together. It gave me time that I needed and I know sugar was getting special time with a special friend. I will schedule more time with Izzy in the future!”
About: I love dogs and they seem to love me, too. I have cared for dogs of all ages and ability, including energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I'm attentive, patient, and comfortable with administering medications. I pay special attention to senior dogs with mobility issues. If you're currently training a puppy, I'm happy to reinforce the commands and techniques you're using. I will follow your lead to help support your pup's progress during our time together. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate your pet's walking routine with ease. This flexibility ensures I can provide consistent, timely care tailored to your dog's needs. Although I currently offer dog walking and house-sitting services, I have experience caring for dogs both in my home and in clients' homes. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I make sure dogs are securely leashed before going outside for walks or bathroom breaks, and I take extra precautions with senior dogs, including administering medications on schedule and helping prevent falls or injuries. During walks, I carry water when needed and check pavement temperatures to protect sensitive paws. When house sitting, I work hard to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines, providing plenty of attention and companionship, and making sure they feel safe while their owners are away. I also respect and care for my clients' homes as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving reliable, attentive, and loving care while they're away.

About: Hi! I’m Kiersten — a lifelong animal lover who truly treats every pet like they’re my own. I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a natural connection with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care.

I’m currently working part time- with shifts no longer than 4 hours at a time, meaning I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets!! I’m a college student back for summer break so I have lots of free time and want to be getting outside on walks more. I’ve previously stayed in client’s homes to watch their pets. My approach to that is to go with the flow of the pets and their owners- following their routines and habits. Additionally, it’s incredibly important to be respectful in someone’s space.

I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a parent of three active boys, I am organized, dependable, and used to caring for others. I have flexibility throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I respect your home, keep it secure, and will send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I grew up with a border collie, and used to sit for numerous friends dogs. I absolutely adore dogs, and I am experienced in administering medication to them as well. I have an 8 month mini labradoodle puppy, so I have plenty of experience with potty training. I currently work two overnights a week, so I am available during the week, and will always have availability for a short notice sit, as I know sometimes things come up. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have numerous runners and will always be outside to make sure your dog is safe and has water. I currently have a mini labradoodle that I adore. She loves dogs, and is on a leash as well. My top goal is for your puppy to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home!
About: I have been taking care of dogs for years as I’ve trained my own dog to be a service dog when she started as a rambunctious puppy. I have had dog aggressive dogs who I’ve helped them be able to overcome those issues. I as well am able to be very active and can handle large dogs as I have a mastiff and Great Dane of my own. I currently work part time in retail. But would love to get out and get another job that I will enjoy. So I will have a functional schedule that I can always work around with to cooperate with my clients. I will only be going to my clients’ homes which will make sure that your pet is comfortable and I can work with those who may have dog aggressive dogs. I have experience with them and use positive reinforcement with treats for bad behavior.
About: I have been dog sitting for over 3 years and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I am also a sitter with Freedom Paws, where I care for service dogs when their raisers are in class or at work. Many of these dogs are puppies under one year old, so I help reinforce their training, including basic obedience, socialization, and leash manners. In addition, I have experience dog sitting and house sitting for families, caring for dogs with a variety of needs. I am comfortable caring for puppies and can administer medications according to owners' instructions to help ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable while in my care. I work full-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday mornings. However, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursday mornings until noon, and Fridays after 2:00 PM. I also have weekends completely free and am comfortable providing overnight and weekend pet sitting when needed. I offer in-home pet sitting so your pet can stay relaxed in the comfort of their own home. I take time to learn each pet's routine and preferences, ensuring they receive consistent care, exercise, affection, and attention. I am reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos throughout my stay so you always know how your pet is doing!
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. I currently am a mom to 2 kitties and 1 2 year old dog. I have a lot of experience training puppies and dogs alike and I have no problem caring for unaltered or reactive animals. I am currently working a part time job that allows me to be available during the days until 3 pm and late at night after 10 pm. I can easily help your animals feel relaxed in their own homes. My cats are refreshed daily with new food and water as well as maintaining my dogs current training and schedule.

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and horses since I was seven years old, animals have always been my greatest passion. I truly believe in the unconditional love pets provide and enjoy caring for dogs at every stage of their journey—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Whether your pup is a high-energy breed or a laid-back hound, I provide the patient, dedicated care they deserve. Life at our house is pretty centered around family and home. I can visit morning, afternoon and nights on a dedicated schedule. Whatever works best for your pet! I love visiting pets in their homes. I let them out to use the potty, clean up the yard as much as possible, then tend to the essentials of food and water. Whatever the pet needs! Whether a brush, wipe down or snuggle on the couch, visits are centered around your fur babies.

“BEST DOG SITTERS EVER!!! Lindsey and her entire family are the most loving people you could ever want to watch your dog! I actually think our frenchy is missing his new found family and their wonderful pups who he played with all day long! We have never boarded him for that long (9 nights!) and were very apprehensive about leaving him. But Lindsey had us come over to meet her, her family and their dogs to make sure we felt comfortable. Afterwards, we just knew that our Ronan would be safe, sound and very loved while we were gone. We will never use anyone else! Thanks so much for everything!!”
“Mary is so great! She is friendly, communicative, thorough and does a wonderful job keeping in touch and sending pictures.
