“Brittany was so kind and welcoming to my two high energy pups! She was so patient with them as they warmed up to her home while I was on a trip for 3 days. She also provided several updates and pictures of my boys while I was away, making me feel more at ease knowing they were in a safe environment. She's great!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jordan took great care of my dog Keira. I made the request at the last minute on a Friday and was able to drop her off within an hour. I’d recommend Jordan for others in the future!”
“We never had Scout stay in someone’s home before. Vivian’s reviews were outstanding, so we decided to give it a try. She asked us to come over for a visit before boarding. That visit calmed all our worries. Vivian and her family were so attentive to Scout and it was apparent that they were very loving and knowledgeable. When we dropped him off for his “vacation” she quickly escorted him to yard to allow him to get acclimated, while her husband helped us with Scout’s belongings. During the vacation, we received pictures two or three times a day. It was apparent that he was enjoying his stay. I am sure he especially enjoyed the walks and the trips in the car. When we have picked him up from boarding kennels before, he would not leave our side. When we picked him up from Vivian’s, he spent time jumping all over us and then bounced back and forth between her family and our family. It was obvious how much he loved them. We will definitely be scheduling more vacations with Vivian in the future. She and her family have given us peace of mind that we never had with anyone else taking care of Scout. Thank you Vivian and Family!!!! ?”
“Patrick is wonderful. He has watched my puppy and now my senior boy. My senior boy had a little trouble adjusting and Patrick was so kind and easy to communicate with. He provided much appreciated photos and updates and I never once had to worry about my buddy.”
“Michelle liked our dog and took good care of him. She also sent photos to us which was very nice. We plan to ask her to watch our Atlas in the future! Thank you!”
“I think Lucy enjoyed her stay much more than others in the past. She got to sleep in a real bed w stuffed animals, just like she does at home. Thank you Sarah for the pics ( just got another today as Canada delayed some of my texts). I would recommend Sarah to anyone!”
“Beatriz is so great! She’s super flexible with my sometimes crazy schedule and made my dog Mia so comfortable right away. It was my first time leaving Mia with a sitter, and I was super nervous because of her separation anxiety, but she made Mia feel right at home and she sent me lots of pictures and videos to update me. I could tell Mia was having the best time!”
“Lindsay was so kind and caring - she went above and beyond to make our doggy Cricket feel safe and secure on the first night that she stayed with her. Lindsay kept us updated with texts, pictures, and a video. Cricket had so much fun at her house! And, Lindsay was able to accommodate our last minute boarding request. This was a wonderful experience for all of us!”
“Emily and her family were wonderful caring for my dog Sunny! Emily treated Sunny as part of her family and was in constant communication with me to send pictures and updates. I had absolutely no concerns about Sunny while we were on vacation because I knew that Emily was giving Sunny so much love. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her care for Sunny in the future!!”
“She was amazing with my Tucker. He is very energetic and he was very happy. Fast responses to texts and plenty of pictures. Tucker was very sad to leave. Will definitely use her again.”
“Augusta is so kind and I appreciate her taking great care of my baby boy. She communicates well and sends picture updates which are much appreciated. My Russy feels comfortable at her home and I’m grateful for Augusta’s hospitality. 😊”
“We've used Gary twice now and HIGHLY recommend booking with him!! Our pup loves going to his house and playing with his dogs. Always prompt on responses, has plenty of yard space for the dogs, and very caring! Checks in and sends pictures while you're away which is nice :)”
“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.”
“Deanna was great and able to work with my 60-pound deaf puppy, and Maxwell loved having fellow dog friends to spend time with. Came back absolutely tuckered out.”
“Once again, Jessica and her family took excellent care of our sweet girl, Zena. This was a week-long stay and Zena was so loved, cared for and *exhausted* when she got home from having so much activity and fun at Jessica's home. Thank you for everything you do for our girl, Jessica and family!!”
“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.”

“This was our very first Rover booking and it couldn’t have been better! Allison was absolutely fabulous taking care of Lil Cat! She took pictures and was very communicative while we were on vacation. She also spent time with him & now they are the best of buddies! We will definitely book her again!”
“Claire was fantastic! She communicated thoroughly, she was prompt with her drop in visits. She understood the special care needed for our cats and she asked questions to ensure she was going to give the proper care.”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 10 years old. I've had cats and kittens throughout my life and have tended to stray cats in the neighborhood, giving them food and shelter. Experience cleaning litter boxes and giving flea and tick medicine.
“This was Ashlyns’s second time watching our cat and she did wonderfully! She communicates extremely well and our cat was very well taken care of. We look forward to next time!”
About: *I will not offer cat services in my home due to my husky, sometimes she’s has her prey drive intact & other times she does not. But I will come to you.* Watch my mom’s cat, my sisters and my sons while they travel. Took care of my dad’s 17 Siamese breeder cats while he was hospitalized as well. If you don’t mind if my sister comes along, she provides excellent and outstanding kitty care. No extra charge for her, I pay her out of my own pocket! She will have a full background check completed in the coming weeks to carry along as well!
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and know that every cat is different. Some are social and playful, while others prefer a quiet space and a slower approach. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and sticking to your cat’s normal routine. Whether your cat wants attention or simply someone they can feel safe around, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, cared for, and treated like one of my own while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all of my childhood. I just started this as a side hustle, and I absolutely love it! I love meeting new pups and being a helping hand to somebody as well! I work a full time job outside of pet sitting. I’m gone from 10am-4pm and my off days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. My schedule is very flexible, so if there are any issues with my work schedule, it can be moved around. I’m typically gone between 6-8 hours depending on travel time as well. I stay at the client’s house so that way their pets are comfortable in their own home and environment. I do an initial meet and greet before the date needed to pet sit so the pets meet me and recognize me while i’m staying with them.
“Jessica took excellent care of our cats while we were away! She maintained ongoing communication throughout the visits and went above and beyond to make sure our girls were comfortable. We felt so relaxed on our trip knowing they were in such good hands!”
About: I treat every cat as if they were my own, providing patient, attentive care and being a reliable sitter. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is that your cat is safe and stress free.
About: I have had cats and other pets since I was a child. Now as a grandmother, I still have my own cats. My cats are my babies and I take care of them as such. They both are cuddlers and I'd love to cuddle yours. I have administered medicine to my cats when it was needed.
“Amber did a great job caring for our cats. She was attentive and communicative throughout the entire period that she was caring for them. We received pictures of most visits and it was nice to see our cats so friendly & comfortable with her. We will definitely contact Amber to watch our cats again.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!

“Beatriz was amazing! She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and was so quick to respond whenever I asked for an update or more photos. I’m a first-time puppy owner and she was extremely helpful with giving me tips and advice on how to train my pup. She was very accommodating regarding pickup and drop-off times and my pup had a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again! Very reliable and trustworthy.”

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!
About: I live in Scottdale but I’m very familiar with ALL surrounding areas. I’m a homemaker, so I’m available practically any time to come offer care to your furry (or not so furry!) loved ones! Currently we have 2 dogs, a purebred 32lb female Siberian Husky & a Designer Breed 15lb female Pomsky. They are both crate trained & house trained. Both are fully registered ESA (Emotional Support Animals) & I take that very seriously as to their training & how exactly I want them to behave. I recently lost my female German Shepherd; & a year prior my male Siberian Husky. My male Siberian was epileptic so I’m experienced in offering meds and know that having them on hand & on time IS A MUST for things of this nature! My shepherd was very elderly (about 14) & required a lot of extra love, care & attention also. So I am also compassionate about animals that need some extra loving. *I offer very basic kitty care. I cannot host cats in my home due to the prey drive of my husky, sometimes she’s ok with them, other times not. *I’ll do feedings for lizards as I have had a few bearded dragons myself as well so I’m knowledgeable here also. (But under no circumstances ask me to care for your snake, or your spider!) ***I offer potty breaks, walks, playtime, feed & water breaks, treat time, medication administration ALL in my standard fee. Anything else, just ask! I’m very flexible & willing to work out most things if we can come to an agreement suitable for both sides. Can’t wait to meet the furry parts of your family.🐾 Pretty much available whenever. I can usually work out something that’s suitable if I am not. Reach out with any questions! We can almost always work out an agreement. No fence but my yard is safe, multiple leashes, 2 porches, in a friendly community for walks. Small home but very lovable and friendly and cozy. My dogs are crate trained but good with other dogs, socialized, UTD on shots, but my girls are not spayed so if you have a male I allow ONLY altered ones at this time.
About: I’ve cared for dogs off all types all my life. Growing up I’ve always had multiple dogs/pets from rabbits, dogs,cats, Guinea pigs, to caring and spending time with the family horses. Recently had to put my boxer down due to old age/ health issues and am not ready for another full time pet yet. That’s where me and my kids come in to watch/ walk/ play/ love and spend time with your pets while your away! I’m a stay at home mom with lots of time to care for your pet, keep your pet safe when you need it the most! I have a large front & back yard with lots of room to run, if your dog is not trained to stay I have a chain that runs the length of my yard. Also a kiddy pool if your dog likes to play in the water.

I'm 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.

About: I have a passion for caring for dogs as well as humans. I have watch dogs since I was 16.

I would feed it off your daily schedule and take your pet on walks and take them potty every 2 hours and as needed. I have a fenced in yard to ensure safety of your pet and has plenty of room to run around in and to have a lot of fun.
About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have taken care of many of the neighborhood pets with walks pet sitting and some Slight grooming. I am experience with special needs babies. I have given shots and can make sure an animal will take their pill. They are something that I love and I’m hoping to be able to turn this into a full-time career. I work from home and my position allows me a lot of time to work on other things. I will be able to take care of your baby at any time. I have a decent sized backyard that I have a strong wire fence and my house is pretty big which I allow them to have the run. I have cages if necessary but only if the babies want that.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I helped my parents raise 2 puppies and now I've raised my own! I know basic training skills to the extent of what the internet has taught me, but when it comes to the care of dogs, I have a full lifetime's experience. I work full time, however I love animals and am more than happy to drop in, or even walk after. I am also capable of being home full time if there is a boarding request If you ask me to take your baby for a few days in my home, with your permission I’d be more then happy to take them on a nice long walk or hike too! I have a dog of my own, an Aussiedoodle who loves everyone and everything. So just keep that in mind when booking with me!

“I brought my two fur babies to Pittsburgh, PA to be with me while I attended my class reunion. I found Ms. Carol on Rover. Immediately when I saw her face I knew she was the one I could trust my babies with. Ms. Carol, I’m so pleased to have met you. My babies were safe, looked after as if they were hers, attended to when needed, but most importantly, welcomed into her home by her fur babies.”

About: If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care about your pets instead of just checking off a to-do list, you’ve found the right person. I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I currently have a large dog of my own, so I’m comfortable with big breeds, energetic pets, and those that need a little extra patience. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, get belly rubs, or just have someone nearby while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. My work schedule changes from week to week, but I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, feeding, playtime, or overnight care in your home, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. All services will be provided in your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar environment and stick to their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, training, or special needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your home and your animals with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
About: I do work full-time, but am home in the evenings. I LOVE animals, but do not feel that I have the time needed to be a 'full time' caregiver. This is perfect for my lifestyle! I would treat your pet like a part of my family. I've always had dogs growing up and love having them as companions. I would walk your pet in the mornings and evenings. Looking forward to meeting you and your special pet!! I can accommodate special requests and am happy to answer any questions that you might have. References are available upon request. Thank you for reading my profile. I currently work full time, but would love to come and stay with your pet to provide day and nighttime companionship. I would adhere to the schedule for your pet and would not adjust (no people food, etc). I would let your fur babies out in the morning, again at lunch time, and would be at your residence for the rest of the day and night, starting at 4:30pm on workdays, and all day and night on the weekends. I would care for your pets as if they were my own. I take pet sitting very seriously and want to be the person that you could depend on to look after your fur family.

If they prefer a place to be calm by themselves, I have an area for that as well! I also do in home training, as well as meeting up at dog friendly locations depending on the need of the dog.

“Amber arrived right on time and Sam took to her immediately. She listened carefully while I gave her all the little details of the behavior to expect while walking him around the neighborhood. Amber sent pictures during his walk. Sam showed no signs of being anxious to get back in the house when they returned which was a good sign he had a positive time exploring. All in all a perfect choice for us.”

About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—whether your cat is shy, energetic, or senior, I adjust my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also patient and attentive, which helps when caring for nervous cats or those who need extra time to warm up. I have experience with administering basic medications, maintaining strict routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health early on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a SAHW—I prioritize it just like any other responsibility. I plan my schedule to ensure I’m available for consistent visits, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening. I’m very mindful of keeping pets on their normal routine, so I build my day around their feeding, playtime, and care needs. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether in my home or my client’s home. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely—feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure the space stays clean and your cat feels comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and a clean setup. I always prioritize safety, hygiene, and clear communication, and I send regular updates with photos.
About: I graduated with a BS in animal science with a companion animal emphasis, obtaining knowledge/experiences through classes, labs, internships, and employment. I worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel tech throughout undergrad seasonally and for several months post-grad at 2 different clinics. I also worked as a wildlife rescue & rehab intern and aquarist intern during undergrad, focusing on animal care and husbandry. Lastly, I have owned/helped care for family pets almost my whole life (including rodents, rabbits, and a dog) and have pet sat dogs and cats for family friends/neighbors on the side. I am beginning a full time gig on July 13. I will not be working a typical 9-5, so my availability may vary week to week and we can discuss further details upon inquiry! I will not make myself available if the time allotted is not appropriate to truly care for your pet. I deeply care about animals and would love to do what I can, especially since I cannot have my family pup & chinchilla with me at school. I will surely abide by clients' wishes regarding their caretaking directions and preferences. I will also be mindful and respectful of being in another person's space, and clean up after myself and the fur babies.
“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!”
