“Tia was an absolute perfect petsitter for my dog Finley! She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent updates including photos and videos, and made sure that my boy was getting lots of attention and playtime in the backyard. Tia’s dog Tang was a fantastic companion and playmate so Finley was spoiled having a canine friend around. Couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Sharon was the perfect sitter for our mini labradoodle Sydney. She took excellent care of Sydney and kept us updated with texts, pics and videos throughout our trip. We felt that Sydney was safe and loved while we were away and could relax and enjoy our trip. We will definitely be contacting Sharon to see if she is available next time we need a sitter!”
“Breanna was awesome! She was very accommodating and asked great questions to make sure everything was accounted for. Ruby seemed very happy and comfortable with her from the start. Thank you for making the weekend so easy!”
“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Michael and his family did a great job watching Samson for his extended (12 day) stay. Samson was treated like one of their own and well taken care of. We had no concerns and Samson came home exhausted. We appreciate their hospitality and genuine concern for our dog. I would recommend and book with them again in the future.”

“Sari did an absolutely outstanding job taking care of our two cats! She played with them a lot, and that is so very good for them. When we got home, the cats were happy and calm. They did not seem stressed about our absence at all. Sari took some beautiful pictures of the lads, and kept in good communication with us. Sari is an excellent cat sitter!”
“Rose was excellent to work with. She was extremely flexible and attentive as we dealt with a fluid trip out of town due to the loss of a family member. She dealt with my diabetic cat’s medication smoothly and took such wondering care of my two cats while I was away. All instructions on feeding and cleaning were followed excellently and when I returned a day early, Rose was incredibly accommodating. We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Rose during a difficult time in our lives, she put our mind at ease with our cats while we were gone - we hope to work with her again!”
“Breanna was wonderful with our cats while we were away on vacation! She came in for daily drops ins to feed them, scoop litter, and play with them. She sent detailed updates and high quality pictures every day that we looked forward to seeing. I felt really safe leaving our cats and home in her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. In addition to taking great care of the cats she brought in mail/packages and took out the garbage. She also vacuumed up their litter room without me having to ask. There’s nothing better than coming home from vacation to a clean house and happy kitties. Thank you Bre!!!”
“Jessica did drop-in visits with my cat while we were out of town. She was very communicative and checked in about how the visits went and how my cat was doing, and went above in beyond in taking care of my cat. I would highly recommend her!”
“Tony was incredibly accommodating when our cat got an eye infection right before we left, and she needed additional care and more frequent visits. I’m so grateful to Tony for putting our minds at ease! He provided thorough updates and cute photos. Thanks to him, our cat’s eye is looking better than when we left. We will absolutely rebook!”
“Mia was amazing with my cats! While we were away, she visited twice a day to check on them, always sending pictures and updates to keep me in the loop. She’s very kind, attentive, and communicative. I felt at ease knowing my cats were in good hands!”
“Clareese did an amazing job and both my kitties loved her which is not an easy task! She was super communicative and check ins were exactly when I had them scheduled. Will definitely use her services again in future!”
“Justin was great to work with overall. I used him to take my dog out while I was at work and he texted me updates during the visit and took pictures as well. He also documented a summary of the visit and left my place exactly as I found it. I would highly recommend him and use him again if I need him.”
About: I have always had animals and pets around me and never hesitated to take care of others pets when needed. I grew up with three labradors, a cat, and a bird. I currently have my own cat with my partner and hope to someday get a medium/large dog! I am currently working full-time remote.

“Ashley is amazing with our cat and spends quality time with him during visits. She provides updates each day and we know everything is taken care of while we are out.”
“Gabby really went the extra mile to ensure our dogs were well taken care of. Our puppy wasn’t used to sitters yet so we didn’t know exactly how she’d react and Gabby was an absolute champ at adapting to her needs.”
“Alyssa went above and beyond in her care during drop-ins of our two 10 month old kittens. It was their first time with a sitter and she was extremely patient with their skittishness and got them to come out of their shell and play!”
“Erin took care of our 6mo kitten Fig on short notice. He is sweet but a lot of energy and kitten curiosity, so I know she had her hands full. She was great with sending updates and photos of our sweet guy.”
“Markie was so sweet and accommodating. She is so patient with my babies who can be scared around strangers. She administered medication to my cat as well! I came home and they were all happy any healthy. Will book again!!!”

“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”
“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Dusty in her care. 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!”
“Justin is absolutely wonderful! My sweet, quirky fur baby had a great time hanging out with him. He sent updates and pictures (which always makes a dog mama smile) and was very easy to get in touch with. We will definitely be booking another stay with him soon!”
About: Hi! I'm Bre – a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of pet-sitting experience in both NYC and Pittsburgh. I’m based near Swisshelm Park and have cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life. I grew up with a loyal Yellow Lab, a beautiful Golden Retriever, a spunky Jack Russell, and three cats, and am well-versed in the unique personalities and needs of all types of furry friends. Over the years, I’ve provided everything from dog walking and drop-in visits to overnight care and extended house sitting. At the moment, I'm available for walks and drop-in visits. While I’d love to have a dog of my own, my current living situation doesn't allow for it –which just means I have extra love and attention to give to yours! I’m responsible, punctual, and trustworthy. I’m also playful, affectionate, and very in tune with the different energy levels and preferences pets may have. Whether your pup or kitty is full of energy or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll adapt to their needs. You can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during our time together. I’d be happy to meet up for an introduction before booking – just reach out with any questions! I am also independently insured outside of the Rover Guarantee through Pet Sitters Associates. I have a fairly flexible schedule — perfect for daytime walks, outdoor playtime, and evening care. My availability is generally between 8 AM and 10 PM, so I can easily accommodate a variety of routines. At the moment, I’m only offering walks and drop-in visits (no overnight stays), but I’m happy to provide multiple check-ins throughout the day to keep your pet comfortable and cared for in their own home. Please note for April 13-April 30: I will be unavailable for drop-ins + walks after 12pm. I’m more than happy to come to your home to ensure your pets are cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they need in a familiar environment. I approach every sitting with the understanding that I’m stepping into your pet’s world—their home, routine, and safe space. I prioritize consistency and a calm, gentle presence, especially for anxious or timid pets. I’m mindful of my tone, volume, and movements, and I keep routines as normal as possible. With repeat visits, I use the same soft greeting so they begin to recognize and feel safe with me. I never force interaction and always allow pets to approach on their own terms, building trust at their pace.
“Lucas and his family are super friendly! Nova was exhausted from her day of fun. They have a huge backyard that is fenced, allowing her to run around safely. Definitely would recommend Lucas for daycare :)”
About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.
“It was Riley's first road trip to Philly (from GA). While his humans cheered on the Temple football team, Brittani provided excellent care and showed Riley around! She even took professional-grade photos of his walks! And, Riley enjoyed playing with her fur baby. If Riley's in town for any other home Temple football game, he'll be asking to go to Brittani's!!”
About: I've lived with cats and dogs all my life. Currently working from home. I worked at Petco for five years so I know a lot about pet care. I'd love to take care of your beloved pet while you're away knowing that they're in good hands with a nice family! I will provide updates daily. I currently work from home and I'm here all the time except when I have to go out for groceries so I'm not out for a long time. Your pet will not be left alone for hours. I have two indoor cats who are friendly to other cats and small dogs. I'm willing to do drop in visits too if you feel more comfortable.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats taken them on walks making sure they were fed and making sure they are taken care of I currently doing CDL school Monday-Thursday 5:00-10pm so any time before or after I can take care of pets. I love all pets so any pet will do I make sure they are fed and well taken care of if they need to go on a walk I will take them as well
“Adrienne is awesome and straight up THE BEST! She is super dedicated, very professional, and easy/very reliable regarding communication. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I have zero hesitation leaving my Lily with her.”
About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! I am currently in a remote Master’s program which allows me to arrange my schedule as is convenient to my clients. I do all of my course work from home! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.
About: I’m back!! I pet sat when I lived in Orlando and then took a break. I am now in Pittsburgh and ready to welcome some new friends. I work from home full-time, in a single-family home with a fenced in yard. I have made a habit of rescuing animals (especially senior animals) and my pack would love some playmates.Whether it is joining in couch cuddles or afternoon zoomies, your little one will feel like part of the family. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds. Including a few years of kennel experience as well as 30 years of personal experience. I have experience with senior animals as well as special needs animals, including blind, deaf, mobility issues, and incontinent. With those things comes a lot of experience in medication as well. Myself and my crew are excited to meet you and your fur babies. I work from home fulltime and a big home body. The most I leave is if I’m grocery shopping or grabbing dinner in the evening. I have a fully fenced in yard. Any boarding pups will sleep in my second bedroom in an appropriate sized crate/playpen. This is the area they would eat their meals as well.
“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with dogs and cats of all personalities! I currently share my home with Kisses, my calico, and Teddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer — one of the highest-energy breeds out there — so if your dog goes a mile a minute, I'm more than ready for it!! Over the years I've dog sat for all sizes and breeds — from tiny lap dogs to large, boisterous pups — and I treat every single one like they're my own. Your pet will be loved, played with, and completely spoiled. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, zoom, and explore that's perfect for dogs who need to burn off some energy. I'm also comfortable administering medication, so pets with special health needs are absolutely welcome. Your baby will get the same attentive care at my place that they get at home. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy stay or a high-energy playmate, I've got them covered. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care is never an afterthought. It's woven into my whole day. I'm home the majority of the week, and on the rare occasion I do step out, I'm never gone for more than 3 hours. Your pet will always have someone present, attentive, and ready to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. No long stretches alone, ever. My home is set up thoughtfully for both dogs and cats. The layout is split-level, with cats having full run of the upstairs and dogs enjoying the main floor plus access to the fully fenced backyard — plenty of space to play, explore, and burn energy safely. The two never have to share space unless everyone is comfortable. I do have a resident calico and a German Shorthaired Pointer, both of whom are friendly and social, so I do ask that visiting pets are comfortable around other animals of their kind. I always offer a free meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone — pets and people — feels good about the stay before any commitment is made. My home is puppy-proofed and high-energy-dog-ready, and I have 24/7 SimpliSafe security monitoring for added peace of mind. You can expect regular photos and updates throughout every stay because you shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions exactly. Your routines, your rules — meal times, crate preferences, favorite toys, walking routes — I stick to all of it. I respect your home as if it were my own, always clean up after your dog outside, and scoop litter boxes daily. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point.

About: I brought our two cats, Chili and Lok-Lok, all the way from China, but I grew up with dogs in my family and love both. I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends’ dogs and I heard about this app so I thought it might be fun to give it a try. Whenever I get called on to dog-sit for my friend here in Pittsburgh I like to go to the dog parks near the South Side river or jog along with them, rain or snow, and socialize with other dogs. Looking forward to meeting yours! I’m a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh so summer and winter breaks are relatively free, and usually I’m only “working” 2-3 half days per week. I have to do a lot of reading and thinking so getting out of the house is a good way to take a break and process. I have a fenced yard where I do some gardening and let our cats out every day to chase bugs and birds. My friends have stayed over with their dogs and I just move the cats to the second floor and keep them there while the dogs take the first and the yard.
“Christy is great! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and double checked instructions on care for my dog. My dog came back so happy and tired after her day with Christy. Would definitely recommend!”
About: When I was 13 years old I house sat for my first dog ever- Harley. Ever since Harley I have been dog sitting, and walking for over 10 years. When I bought my own home 5 years ago we began boarding dogs because as a pet owner I know how much better I feel when my animals are with someone I can trust. I promise to be that person for you! I am a Registered Nurse by trade, however, I do work from home so those pups of yours will be loved all day long. I am comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, senior dogs, medication that needs given, dogs who have medical issues and much more. Please feel free to reach out! I would love to give your dog a home away from home ❤️ I work from home so I am home all day with them. If I do go out it is no more than 4 hours at a time and if I am boarding/pet sitting I would not leave for longer than 4 hours a day. I have 3 of my own dogs. 2 are less than 10lbs and the other one absolutely LOVES puppies/new energetic friends. We have a fenced in yard, a nice dog-friendly neighborhood to walk animals in, lots of couch space to snuggle up with every one, and lots and lots of play time!

“Brittani has been absolutely amazing! I asked her to come have a visit with our pup so she could meet him and she was kind enough to fit us her schedule. She has always been so responsive and timely, something I really appreciate while I’m away at work. Her daily pictures are awesome! I now have these amazing portraits of our dog I can show off. We love Brittani !”
“Rosie and Rory immediately took to Ashley. They enjoy spending their days with her. She is very attentive to their needs and is doing some additional training with them. We’ve done walking, drop ins and doggy daycare. We will definitely continue to work with Ashley.”
“My dog is a little anxious with new people, but Erin has a very calm and steady demeanor that helped to put my dog as ease. Erin responds promptly and communicates proactively. Thanks, Erin!”
About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!

“Breanna was awesome! She was very accommodating and asked great questions to make sure everything was accounted for. Ruby seemed very happy and comfortable with her from the start. Thank you for making the weekend so easy!”
“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Erin was great-our dog was clearly well cared for. Erin was very responsive and flexible when we couldn't get back due to bad weather. Definitely recommend! We will board our dog with her again!”
“Ali was a perfect fit for Lizzy! We couldn't have been happier. We went away for a week, without access to Wi-Fi. Ali met with us beforehand, and we instantly felt comfortable to leave Lizzy in her care. She was so gentle, Lizzy relaxed and felt right at home. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.”
“Michelle sent photos of Finnegan daily so while I was out of town I was able to see how he was doing. If I needed I was able to message her and she responded quickly with an update since I was in a different time zone it made communication easier.”
