“Stacey was great! My little guy fit right into her home. The texts and pictures she sent were more than proof enough for me. We’ve already discussed the possibility for JJ’s next stay. As soon as I know more information about my dates needed, I’m booking with Stacey. Absolutely wonderful!!!”
“We had great experience with Jena and Nick. Dexter received lots of love, personal attention, playtime, daily walks. Their pet Sebastian was a very nice dog and became great buddy of Dexter in a short time. They have a very nice and clean fenced backyard too. Dexter really enjoyed his time with Jena, Nick and Sebastian… We really appreciate their effort in making sure Dexter felt it at home…Thank you Jane, Nick and Sebastian for being so lovely to Dexter.”
“Cheryl is impossibly lovely. Our dog is a nervous boarder - he often struggles the first few days. But he didn't spend a single night in his crate while in Cheryl's care. She was super flexible with the start and end time of our stay and clearly gave our pupper a second home while we were away. We couldn't ask for a better experience.”

“Adam was great. He watched Sammy for 4 nights along with another dog in his apartment. He is clearly a dog lover and took the doggos on plenty of long walks, including a 5.5 miler with some of his friends. He sent me cute and funny pics multiple times a day to keep me posted on everything. Very pleasant and easy to coordinate with, and followed all of my instructions. Highly recommend him to others, and look forward to hiring him again in the future! Thanks Adam!”

While we were on vacation, she was incredibly communicative and sent lots of updates and photos. I felt completely secure, happy, and relieved knowing Biscuit was in such caring hands. It was clear Kelsey genuinely cared about her and made sure she got plenty of attention and love. I would recommend her to anyone and would absolutely book her again!”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with our cat Cocoa! She was willing to work with our hectic schedule and and is so nice and accommodating. She also sends pictures and updates throughout her visit with our cat. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for pet care. She’s the best!!”

“Taylor is the sweetest to my pets! I spent a long weekend in Florida & my flight got canceled and. I ended up getting stuck for 2 extra days & she didn’t miss a beat. She said don’t fret and made me feel like my pets were so secure and safe. She is the best”

About: I have a cat but he currently lives with my mom. I have taken care of him ever since I was 8 years old, cleaning his litter box, bathing him, feeding him, ext. He has always been my baby. He is an orange tabby his name is lovey, because we got him when he was all alone in his cage, but he jumped in my arms and that’s when I knew he was the one for me. What sets me apart is that I am passionate for making your cat feel comfortable, healthy, and loved. I am a huge cat lover and I can’t imagine someone who wouldn’t be. Cats are just the cutest! 🫶
“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”
“I really hit the jackpot finding Theresa! She was WONDERFUL with my cats. They got such good care from her and I think they miss her. I will definitely book with Theresa the next time I am out of town.”
About: **Home full-time.** Since I was a little girl I have always grown up with 2+ dogs in my household, and various pets such as cats, ducks, flying squirrel, lizard - you name it. I’ve seen it all- hyper, lazy, escape artists, mean, social, and animals that think they’re human. Throughout my experience with animals, specifically dogs, it all boils down to one essential trait in animal-care which is patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of and nothing can scare me away as I have seen it all, the good, the bad & the ugly. I am a huge advocate for animal shelters as I have logged an immense amount of hours volunteering and have helped rehabilitate abused animals. I have rescued 4 dogs, 2 cats, 1 sugar glider, and have helped families find their forever fur babies. I have two dogs of my own: a Sheltie named Meeko, that has been with me since he was 8 weeks old and is now 16. And my very large 140lb, sassy and cuddly Malamute, Luna, who has just turned 9. I promise to treat your animals as if they were my own, because I 100% understand the struggles of trusting someone else with their babies. If you have any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask! Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my day..it’s built around it. I work from home, so I’m able to give your furbaby constant attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. My mornings start with a walk and feeding, and I keep a steady rhythm of exercise, cuddles, and check-ins from there. Evenings wind down with another good walk and calm bonding time before bed. Because my schedule is flexible, I can easily accommodate feeding times, medication schedules, and each pet’s unique routine. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with plenty of room to relax and play. I keep fresh water available at all times, stick to their regular feeding schedule, and make sure they get regular potty breaks and exercise. I give lots of attention and affection throughout the day, and I keep dogs separated or supervised as needed so everyone feels secure. I send photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress—same feeding times, walk routes, and play habits they’re used to. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty cleanup, and any medications. I’ll also bring in mail or packages and keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos

“I had a true peace of mind when I was able to keep my collie with Michael-the day before Easter!! He walked him to get to know him better. Then, Michael let him out in the yard with half the herd before introducing him to the whole pack. Michael also texted photos throughout the day, which gave me relief that my Davey wasn’t being a pain in the butt! I will call on Michael to watch Davey again and again. Marianne L.”

You can tell their house is full of love– I felt very comfortable leaving my pup there to enjoy his time.”

We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”
“Brittany has been such a blessing for me, giving me such peace of mind knowing my pup is well cared for and happy while I'm gone. I have a rescue lab puppy - full of energy with a bit of anxiety thrown in - and she is patient and kind with him, while making sure he does what he should (or shouldn't)! My pup gets excited as we pull up in the car, and can't wait to get out! Brittany sends updates and pictures throughout the day so I can see how he's doing, and I pick up a happy, tired puppy - I feel fortunate to have found Brittany!”

She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girl came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for…❤️ Valerie went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Thank you, Valerie, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”
“Such a lovely woman. Sami and Bleu must have had a wonderful time. They had lots of playmates….wore them out. They have been sleeping since we left. I will definitely get in touch again. Thank you so much Regina.”

About: I am a 19-year-old animal lover with over 6 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. My passion for animals started at a young age, and beginning at 13, I regularly walked dogs for several neighbors. Through pet sitting, I have gained experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to horses and farm animals. I am dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I currently work part-time at my family’s coffee shop, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I am often available for early morning visits before work, midday visits after my morning shift (typically around noon), and evening care as needed. I am reliable, responsible, and happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that meets their pets’ needs. I also have a friendly bulldog who loves meeting new people and dogs. If your dog enjoys socializing and you’re comfortable with it, I can bring her along for company during visits. Of course, your pet’s comfort and preferences always come first, and I will only do this with your permission.
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I’m the friend people trust to take care of their dogs/cats while they go away. I’m adjustable to different breeds and needs. I will give them the attention and love they’re used to. I love going on walks so I will be just as excited to go! I am currently working from home, so I am flexible for different drop in and walking times. I will be in school starting the end of August, but I’m open to finding a time that works, just message me.☺️ I understand every furry friend is different and I am adaptable to learn their routine! When I am in your home I will do what is possible to make them feel happy and safe.

“We have used him twice and he went above and beyond both times walking my dog, from taking him in his car to a better location for a walk to potty breaks and putting him back in his cage and setting it up the way it was before for his anxiety I would absolutely recommend to anyone”
About: Hi! I’m Maddie, a college student home for break with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, which makes pet sitting one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been pet sitting for several years, caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, fish, and even chickens. I have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays, and I’ve cared for pets of all different breeds, sizes, and ages. I feel confident and comfortable providing the care your pet needs. I’m available throughout the day for drop-in visits and walks, and I’m also happy to provide overnight stays. When taking care of your pet they will be a priority. In your home, I follow your instructions exactly, maintain their routine, and create a calm, stress-free environment. I believe consistent communication is essential, so I’ll keep you updated with photos, messages, and any other details you’d like, ensuring you can feel at ease knowing your pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life from an early age. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, patient l approach to training and have successfully worked on manners and basic cues with every pet I’ve owned. I recently finished my master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University and now work in the entertainment industry, which gives me a flexible, creative schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and communication. I share my life with a 3‑year‑old beagle named Patti LuPup, and we love spending time in nature together exploring trails and parks. Because I’m so used to reading different animal personalities, I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or quirky pets and always focus on making them feel safe, engaged, and loved. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, active playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family. I am currently in between work after finishing my masters program, so my availability is flexible as I am working freelance at the moment. I am very happy to coordinate to best service you! I have a calm beagle of my own, and we have a large fenced in yard. Many parks are close by with trails and dog parks.
About: Dog walking & sitting was my very first job, and has always remained my favorite. I am a mom to a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles boy but have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including older ones who require medications. I only work very part-time and am looking to make dog walking more a part of my weekly life! They say a job should be what you love doing and I love taking care of doggos. I can make your dog's care a priority, dedicating time and focus on them. I am punctual and trustworthy, and offer clear and consistent communication. I understand how it feels to leave your dog's care in someone else's hands. Sometimes we just have to! I will show up to your home on time, taking your doggo for the exercise they need, and making sure they have ample bathroom and play time.
“Stephanie is my dog’s new favorite person. When I go to work in the morning, my dog cries until I tell her Miss Stephanie is coming later to take her for a walk… and then my dog couldn’t care less if I stayed or left!”
About: As a compassionate animal enthusiast with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets. Drawing from my diverse background as a mother, military veteran, and preschool teacher, I have built strong caregiving skills. In addition, in the past I have worked professionally as a veterinary technician for three years. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of owning various pets, including cats, dogs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, fish, pygmy goats, guinea pigs, turtles, and leopard geckos. Currently, I care for an English bulldog, a cat, and three guinea pigs. Having relocated to the Pittsburgh area in June 2024, I am excited to offer customized care solutions for your pet. As a preschool teacher with summers off, I am well-suited to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they require, treating them with the same kindness I show my own pets. My availability during the school year is limited to nights, weekend, and holiday breaks. I am currently working as a preschool teacher. This gives me the whole summer off which allows me to be very flexible to care for your pets when you can't. I am committed to keeping your pet on the schedule you and your family want for them. All while keeping them safe and loving them.
About: For the past seven years, I had the privilege of sharing my life with my dog, Agatha, whom I adopted when she was around seven years old. She recently passed away at an estimated 14 years old after battling cancer. Caring for Agatha, especially during the last few months of her life, taught me patience, compassion, and how to meet a dog exactly where they are. As she got older, she needed more hands-on support. Whether it was helping her stand, carrying her when her body wouldn't cooperate (all 55 pounds of her!), or hand-feeding her because that's how she was most comfortable, I learned that every dog has unique needs and deserves care that respects their personality. Agatha was fiercely independent, so I always tried to give her as much dignity and choice as possible while making sure she felt safe and loved. While I'm not ready to adopt another dog just yet, I truly miss having one in my life. That's what brought me to Rover. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet, whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I live in an apartment with easy access to outdoor walking paths, sidewalks, and a nearby dog park, making it easy to provide plenty of exercise, fresh air, and opportunities to explore. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. I own a local fitness studio, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. Most weekdays, I'm available between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for walks, drop-in visits, or spending quality time with pets. My mornings typically begin around 8:00 a.m., and I'm at my studio from approximately 9:00–11:00 a.m. and again from 4:00–7:00 p.m. Because I have flexibility throughout the day, I can provide regular potty breaks, exercise, meals, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys an active walk, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care while you're away. I know that every pet is different, so my first priority is getting to know your dog's routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay or visit. I'll follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, or little routines that help your pet feel comfortable. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm environment with plenty of attention, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and a comfortable place to rest. I live in an apartment with easy access to sidewalks, green space, and a nearby dog park for dogs who enjoy socializing (only with your permission). If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Above all, my goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who has been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a yellow lab, so I’m very familiar with the daily routines, energy, and love that dogs need. Since then, I’ve also spent a lot of time around friends’ and family members’ dogs, helping out with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them attention. I work full-time as a nurse, but my schedule is only three days a week, which gives me four full days during the week and weekends to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I have the time and flexibility to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a townhome complex, so I believe the best setup is caring for dogs in their own familiar environment through drop-in visits or picking them up for walks throughout the day. This allows your dog to stay in their normal routine while getting safe, attentive, and loving care.
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals and have experience with everything from dogs and cats to horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Professionally, I worked at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, one of the nation’s leading veterinary hospitals, where I gained hands-on experience supporting animal health and recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall wellness. I also helped train dogs through Wildcat Service Dogs, which taught me how to work with dogs of different temperaments, reinforce training, and build trust through consistency and positive interactions. In addition to my animal experience, my healthcare background has made me highly dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to safety. Whether your pet needs a long walk, medication, extra exercise, specialized care, or simply companionship while you’re away, I tailor my approach to their individual needs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. My schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Animal care is already part of my everyday life. I currently care for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and other animals, so maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and daily enrichment is second nature to me. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make every effort to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions before care begins. Pets staying with me enjoy access to 30 fully fenced acres in Gibsonia, providing plenty of room for exercise, enrichment, sniffing, and play in a secure environment. All outdoor time is supervised, and activities are tailored to each dog’s energy level, age, and comfort. With experience in veterinary medicine, service dog training, and caring for a wide variety of animals, I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness or distress, and handling pets with unique behavioral or medical needs. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away.

“We’ve boarded our dog a few times with Coralee now and our dog absolutely loves it. The anxiety she has when we leave has lessened significantly and she is so happy to have doggy friends to play with. We get pictures and/or videos everyday and it helps so much to see her happy and playing.”
“My pup has an excellent time with Michael! I don’t have to worry when I go out of town because I know she is in great hands. Michael is also great at sending updates and keeping up with communication. Highly recommend!”

“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”
“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”
“Mary was fantastic watching my pup George for 6days. Right from the meet and greet it was apparent to me he would be very well taken care of…and I could see that from pups demeanor too. Communication was great and it was shared thru pics how much George enjoyed his sitters. Highly recommend!”
“Valerie was awesome! Her communication was great—she kept me updated with lots of photos, and I could tell Gru was completely comfortable and happy. That gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Valerie and would use her again without thinking twice!”
“I always look for Maura and Matt first when looking for a sitter!! They are fantastic and absoultely love Pickles like their own dog. I never have to worry at all when he is there. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Gumdrop enjoyed her stay with Ashley. I didn't know if she would want to come back after all of the love that she got from both Ashley and her dogs. We will definitely use her services in the future.”
“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!”
“Amy was so flexible to help us out when we had an unexpected death in the family. She took fantastic care of our pups while we were out of town. Whole-heartedly recommend Amy!!”
“Anthony and Leslie were fantastic. Highly recommend! Our two dogs got plenty of playtime and walks. Constant updates with pictures and videos. Will certainly use again!”
“I had a truly wonderful experience with her taking care of Loki. She followed all of his feeding instructions carefully and maintained his routine very well. His meal timings were consistent, and I could tell he was eating comfortably and being looked after with attention. She also managed his walk times and daily activity in a very structured way. From the updates I received, it was clear that Loki was getting enough playtime, exercise, and rest throughout the day, which really helped him stay balanced and happy. What stood out most was the level of warmth and care she showed. The photos and videos she shared regularly showed Loki playing, interacting, and even making new friends. He looked very comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely happy in her home. In fact, the happiness and peace he was feeling were so clearly reflected in his face that it brought tears to my eyes. It truly felt like she made her home feel like a safe, peaceful space for him. Overall, I felt a strong sense of trust and comfort knowing Loki was with her. She didn’t just follow instructions—she genuinely cared for him, and it reflected in his behavior, his happiness, and his overall well-being. She is extremely reliable, caring, and truly excellent at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Michelle and Sami were amazing!! They took great care of our very active Weimeraner puppy and it was obvious that he was showered with affection by their family. They're very experienced in training/caring for different breeds, and their Goldens were great pals to our dog. We are so grateful for their help and care!”
