“Pablo had a great time with Jessica, Theo and the kids! They kept me up to date on how he was doing and he came back tired, so I know he had a good vacation! :) Pablo is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“Joni did a wonderful job. She watched our cat Tisha for 8 days. I know she was great because when Tisha got home she was happy and healthy. Thank you Joni. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!!”
“It was the first time leaving my two Cavaliers with someone other than a family member. Lisa calmed my anxiety and sent several updates over the weekend. She accommodated my lazy, anxious older dog as well as my rambunctious puppy. Both pups were content and relaxed! I would definitely book Lisa again.”
“Debbie and Adam were so very welcoming and took great care of our Piper! We loved the daily pictures they sent and how easily they picked up on her unique personality:)”
“Maria was super awesome with our Zoe. We boarded with her last minute; she was very communicative and responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner. We boarded with her for four nights and she made sure to send pictures and updates 2-3x per day! She and her family truly went above and beyond; they even sent Zoe home with a bag of Halloween treats! I can tell that she really cares for the fur babies she takes in and treats them as her own. Highly recommend her services and will definitely choose her again for our pup’s needs.❤️”
“We could not have found a better dog sitter than Cassandra. Our old dog Pippi was a challenge - multiple accidents - yet Cassandra was so understanding and tolerant! And her children were great with Pippi, giving her belly rubs and lots of attention, so much so that she practically purred.”
“Michelle & Luke and the kids really took care of my 2 old english sheepdogs. OES. There is something special about kids and a OES. When a dog is away from home and he is comfortable enough to do his happy dance, i know he is in good hands. Michelle your kids must of spent every waking moment with the dogs. When we got home it took a full day for them to recoup, they were so tired. I don't usually do reviews but Michelle & Luke service, no love for my dogs was outstanding. If i need the dogs looked after again they are first on my list. Thanks guys, and to the kids as well.”
“Hailey was very good with our husky pup. She kept our puppy at her house for 6-days while we were on vacation. She communicated very well and sent pictures throughout our pups stay. It was nice to have a safe place for our pup to stay while we were on vacation. We will definitely being using Hailey again in the future!”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Mikaela is always great with our boys! She sends updates with pics daily and they always come home happy! We love using her for our dogs as their home away from home!”
“I have no regrets or worries whatsoever when I left my Zahra with them for the weekend and she was well taken care of and they went beyond every expectation”
“Veronica is always amazing with my pup! She was able to accommodate Autumn very last minute when I had to leave town. She became fast friends with her own dogs Chloe and Belle and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
About: I’ve loved dogs and been surrounded for as long as I can remember: taking them on walks, teaching them tricks, and tending to their needs 🐾 So, I’d love to step in and help with yours whenever/whatever needed. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to tend to your dog. I would also be available on the weekends, to pet sit or help with caring for your pup. I work from home! Happy to board pets here if it’s a good fit! I can stop by or stay at your house to take care of your dog(s)!
“This wonderful family watched our two little princesses while we were on vacation and they were so good to them! I was very hesitant to leave them with anyone who is not family but we moved here a year ago and we decided to take a chance and we plan to if they are willing to use them again! The dogs were beyond well taken care of and she provided pictures and daily feedback!”

“Wendi was wonderful with our cat! She was on time, very communicative, and took great care of our cat. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was in good hands while we were away!”
“Laken was great with Tigger! She communicated well the entire time and went above and beyond for us. We are very appreciative and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”
“Waverly was great with our kids, even our fussy one. She won her over. She took great care of the kids and was great communicating with us before, during and after. We'll be sure to book her again. Thanks Waverly!”
“This is the first time we’ve used Rover and it’s the first time we hired a pet sitter. Ashley walked us through the process and answered all of our questions. We have four cats and one of them needs medications multiple times a day. It was hard to find a pet sitter who would come as frequently as we needed. We also liked that Ashley is familiar with giving meds. Ashley was able to come multiple times a day and she did a wonderful job, even when Ollie decided to play hide and seek on her! She also communicated a lot which put our minds at ease.”
“Our 13 and 14 y/o high-maintenance kitties were so delighted with Kristie's care. They took to her right away which is definitely not common. She communicated with us well and understood our action-packed kitty schedule. We felt at ease while we were away for a weekend trip with Kristie at the helm!”
“Kelsey was excellent would definitely use her again. She did a wonderful job caring for my pets for an extended period of time. Received daily pictures that helped reassure quality of care. Many thanks Kelsey”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and pet sitting has given me the chance to spend time with so many wonderful pets. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other unique animals, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving plenty of attention, and sticking to each pet’s routine so they stay happy and relaxed. I will also keep you updated with messages and pictures, so you’ll always know how your companion is doing. I work a part time job. This means I’m available the majority of the time! I am available 7 days a week for at home pet sitting, walking, boarding, and drop ins. How convenient for us both! When it comes to walking our furry friends, I’m always extra cautious of keeping leashes on them. Of course i make sure they always have water and food available as it is important for their well being. I also make sure to keep anything chewable (that isn’t a doggie toy) away from them. For those who choose boarding I have a separate floor in my house all to myself, which is where your pets will also stay. I have a large yard and a fenced in yard as well. And we live in a more rural setting so we can take them for walks frequently!
About: I will treat your family like my own! I grew up taking care of multiple cats, and have a special place in my heart for them - any minute I get to spend with a cat is a minute well spent. I also have years of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family. As a teacher, my afternoons and evenings are especially free and open. I am also open to finding time in the early mornings (before 7am) if that is your preference! I treat every pet with the care, love, and time that they deserve, while respecting the wishes and preferences of them and their owners. If there is anything you'd like me (not) to do, just let me know!
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I bring the same patience, gentleness, and respect to caring for cats, especially those who are shy, senior, or need time to build trust. I’m calm, observant, and always move at the pet’s pace to ensure they feel safe and seen.
About: I have always had cats. I find them consoling and loving. I have always taken care of our cats since I was a little girl. Being the doctor or helping deliver their babies. Kitten are the best clowns and love to play.
“Highly recommended! Courtney did a fantastic job with my 3 dogs. Did a great job checking in and sending pics as well even though she didn’t have to. I will definitely book again.”

I am available throughout the days on these days. I am also available on weekends! I will be sure your dog has the most fun on our walks! I know my way around many types of harnesses/leashes/muzzles.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime and plenty of companionship.

I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, meditations (if needed) and any special requests.
About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m fortunate to have the ability to work from home often, which means your pets get lots of company and attention throughout the day! I’m also a proud fur-mom with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your crew includes a tiny Frenchie, a giant Great Dane, a cuddly cat, a curious ferret, or a feathered chatterbox, I’ve probably loved on one before! Size, breed, or the number of pets in your family doesn’t scare me—I believe the more paws, the merrier! Need someone who can give medications, keep up with special care routines, or convince your stubborn pup that going outside is actually a great idea? I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and always take the time to learn exactly what makes each pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. I know leaving your pets behind can be stressful. After all, they’re family—not “just pets.” That’s why I care for every furry, feathered, or scaly friend as if they were my own. Whether they love long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing crew. Let’s make your next trip worry-free—and maybe earn a few tail wags, happy purrs, and the occasional zoomies along the way! I have the ability to work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.

“I was in town for the Billy Joel concert, and Cassandra and her family were the best dogsitters for my girls' night out! Vinny felt completely safe and at home with them, evidenced by his rambunctiousness when I picked him up. (He's usually quiet and cautious in new places, unlike how he is at home.) She was accomodating with the time, and I'm so grateful! She's definitely my first choice when I'm in town!”

About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.
About: I got my first dog, Buster, when I was a year old and he was my absolute best friend for 14 years. I've taken care of dogs, as well as many other different species of animals, for nearly my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bath their furry family members while going on vacations, weekend getaways, or just working long hours. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies and was an extremely active member of my county's 4-H program. I worked in veterinary medicine for several years before branching out on my own. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat! I am the proud owner of Goofy Goldie Caravan, based out of Barnesville, Ohio. I travel to pet parents in the area for basic pet care needs. My services include nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleanings, walks/exercises, and drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard with 4 friendly dogs to keep everyone busy. I'm experienced in crate training and leash training and will be able to keep your pet safe at all costs.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds from rescues, seniors, puppies, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for cats and some smaller animals and reptiles. Feel free to ask me about your other pets and I’ll let you know honestly if I am able to provide care. I'd be a great fit if you're a detail-oriented or slightly worried/anxious pet parent who wants their routine followed to the letter, frequent updates, and someone who treats your home and family members with love and respect. Getting a routine right matters a lot to me. I ask lots of questions upfront and pay close attention to the small stuff: think feeding times, meds, favorite routes, comfort items, quirks, fears, or behaviors, because those details are what make a dog feel secure. I'd rather over-communicate than guess. I lived with and cared for a reactive dog for 13 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to help an anxious dog feel safe, and how to prevent conflict in the first place. All my dogs have been rescues, and I have a soft spot for dogs who need extra patience to warm up. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've spent years learning dog training, body language, and enrichment, and every interaction is rooted in positive reinforcement. I will require a meet and greet with your pet in advance of the first booking so they can become familiar with me, and so I can become familiar with their routine and needs. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to be present for your dog, whether that's extra walks, playtime, or just being around for company, and I'm happy to talk through what kind of availability works best for your pet! I work from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office. This gives me the ability to keep anxious dogs company, breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.
About: Hi, I'm Sadie! I am a graduate of Pennwest California's Vet Tech Program and have plans to attend graduate school to become a veterinarian. I have worked at several different jobs where I gained pet care experience, such as doggy daycare/boarding facilities and pet stores. I currently work as an emergency vet nurse as Veg ER for Pets. I hold a current veterinary technician license and am RECOVER CPR certified in cats & dogs. I have been petsitting for friends and family for years and have watched large breed dogs, such as Cane Corsos, Akitas, and Great Danes. I own 3 Pitties, 1 Boston Terrier, and 3 cats. I have raised bottle-fed kittens/puppies. I can administer oral, ophthalmic, aural, topical, & injectable medications to a variety of animals. I can care for farm animals as well! Whether your pet is young, old, or has special needs, they will be well cared for while you're away. Rest assured, I will treat your fur babies as if they are my own! P.S. my rates are higher than I normally charge to cover the 20% deduction Rover takes from each booking. Tips are appreciated but not required :) I am currently taking an in-person class 2 days a week on Monday and Wednesday. If care is needed while I attend class, my mom (also a Rover sitter, Danyel Marinski) can provide care for your babies as well! I care for client's pets exactly as their instructions tell me too. My own dogs love to cuddle with me and watch tv in between playing with all of their toys! They're super high energy so they're taken on multiple daily walks.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I am currently a dog groomer and am around them every single day! I I do work full time but my job is only 2 minutes away from my house. I am usually off on the weekends and have more time to spend with fur babies. I have a fenced yard and 2 sweet dogs to keep your fur baby company and play with. If you would like your dog crated, let me know!
About: I have had animals my whole life. Aside from having a well-loved pitty for 8 years, I have lots of experience keeping animals safe and loved! My family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues all count on me to keep their furry friends happy while they’re gone! I am a graduate student so I’m always willing to take a break from my studies! I’m available pretty much any time for your pet! In your home, I will follow your direction and use my best judgement to keep your animal safe. I believe that play and love builds trust with an animal so I’d love to take walks and toss a ball or treats around!
About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of two large breed dogs for over a year. I brought them into my home when they were puppies, and cared for them as they grew into adult dogs. For dog walking, I am able to walk one or two dogs at one time. When walking my own dogs, sometimes I would like to go for a little run just to make sure the pups get the exercise they need. For dog sitting, I like to let the pup(s) out for plenty of bathroom breaks. I will do everything I can to ensure that your pet is well-taken care of. I will be sure to provide a good amount of playtime for your pet to make sure he or she is having a good time! I'm currently working a shift evening schedule on Thursday-Saturday, so I have plenty of time during the traditional work week to look after your pets! I have a fenced yard and would love to spend time with your dog or cat! I would love to play games with your pet, take them on walks, and will be incredibly watchful over them to make sure they don't get into trouble.
About: I have years of experience caring, loving, and training dogs. Navigating three senior dogs (18 years+) at once I can administer oral and topical medication and understand the gentle and considerate care senior dogs require. I’ve trained two puppies from zero to age two in accordance with the Canine Good Citizen Standards. I believe in a fear free positive reinforcement training and caretaking style and am studying to help generally train service dogs (online training and I’ve shadowed a non-profit trainer). Pet care is ingrained in my daily and weekly schedule with the ability to work from WiFi, and it’s a blessing. From walking, movement, exercise, brain stimulating games, and general care - it is all included in my day. I care for your pets how I’d want someone to care for my pet - of the highest standard of attention and thoughtfulness in both my space and yours.

“Pablo had a great time with Jessica, Theo and the kids! They kept me up to date on how he was doing and he came back tired, so I know he had a good vacation! :) Pablo is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“Joni did a wonderful job. She watched our cat Tisha for 8 days. I know she was great because when Tisha got home she was happy and healthy. Thank you Joni. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!!”
“Maria was super awesome with our Zoe. We boarded with her last minute; she was very communicative and responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner. We boarded with her for four nights and she made sure to send pictures and updates 2-3x per day! She and her family truly went above and beyond; they even sent Zoe home with a bag of Halloween treats! I can tell that she really cares for the fur babies she takes in and treats them as her own. Highly recommend her services and will definitely choose her again for our pup’s needs.❤️”
“We could not have found a better dog sitter than Cassandra. Our old dog Pippi was a challenge - multiple accidents - yet Cassandra was so understanding and tolerant! And her children were great with Pippi, giving her belly rubs and lots of attention, so much so that she practically purred.”
“Michelle & Luke and the kids really took care of my 2 old english sheepdogs. OES. There is something special about kids and a OES. When a dog is away from home and he is comfortable enough to do his happy dance, i know he is in good hands. Michelle your kids must of spent every waking moment with the dogs. When we got home it took a full day for them to recoup, they were so tired. I don't usually do reviews but Michelle & Luke service, no love for my dogs was outstanding. If i need the dogs looked after again they are first on my list. Thanks guys, and to the kids as well.”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Mikaela is always great with our boys! She sends updates with pics daily and they always come home happy! We love using her for our dogs as their home away from home!”
“I have no regrets or worries whatsoever when I left my Zahra with them for the weekend and she was well taken care of and they went beyond every expectation”
“Veronica is always amazing with my pup! She was able to accommodate Autumn very last minute when I had to leave town. She became fast friends with her own dogs Chloe and Belle and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“This wonderful family watched our two little princesses while we were on vacation and they were so good to them! I was very hesitant to leave them with anyone who is not family but we moved here a year ago and we decided to take a chance and we plan to if they are willing to use them again! The dogs were beyond well taken care of and she provided pictures and daily feedback!”
“I would describe Chef’s stay with Elle as like staying in a Camp doggie … full of activities like off leash hiking In a park morning and/or afternoon , playing frisbee/ball in their big backyard with her family , and if you get lucky like Chef, you get to learn how to swim in the pool and learn how to jump like those agility courses . Chef stayed overnight for 5 nights , and he was treated like family . We are so lucky to have found Elle to watch our dog. And it was so nice that he gets to play with their border collie Eve , as well as other dogs in Elle’s care for the day . It’s really a nice feeling to leave your dog to a family that enjoys taking care of them as well as knowledgeable and very confident in all things doggie ? Oh and while we were away , we got so many updates like pics, videos of every activity that they did . It was fun to watch and very reassuring to see . Thank you very very much !”
“Skylar and Brandon were wonderful caretakers of my pup for 8 days. They were understanding of my concern for my French bulldog and the heat and were very responsive to any questions I had. They sent daily updates and pictures and I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future.”
“Zach and his family were amazing, stayed in contact the entire trip, sent pictures and were extremely kind! I think Fenrir was actually a bit sad to go at the end. I would 100% recommend his services to anyone and everyone, definitely at the top of my list for sitters!”
