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.
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“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 takes care of our two dogs during the holidays and treats them like part of the family! We are so grateful to have such a kind, reliable caretaker for our fur babies while we are out of town”
“Nicole watched my dog while I was out of town and did a great job! I got plenty of updates, her home was lovely, and my old dog seemed so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Jessica! She sent pictures and videos while he was there so it was nice to see how he was doing while away. We also loved how there were other dogs around so there were plenty of fur friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!”
“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. 😊”
“Victoria has taken care of our boys multiple times now, and they are always excited to go back to her! We get photos, videos, and updates every day. She’s always our first choice for dog sitting when we go out of town.”
“Adam was fantastic with Macy! He sent daily pictures of their activities; even twice on most days! Kept us up-to-date on all things and really gave us peace of mind leaving Macy behind for two weeks. We would 110% reach out to Adam again the next time we need a sitter for Macy.”
“Lucas did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely trust him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter”
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”
“Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!”
“Ellyn and her family are simply the best!! They’ve watched our little Bobo (80 lb australian shepard lol) a few times and the most recent was for about a week and a half. She kept us updated and sent lots of pics which helped as I get anxious leaving him!! They live in a great location and bobo got so many walks and even had other doggy friends staying with him. We could tell he loved his time with her!! 10/10 recommend:)”
“Valerie was the absolute best sitter we could’ve asked for. She’s incredibly compassionate and truly a dog whisperer—our dog felt comfortable, cared for, and happy the entire time. We had total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. Would recommend Valerie without hesitation. 10/10 ⭐️”
“Justin was very welcoming and after a visit together with Watson, I left Alexa in good hands. Justin sent lots of pictures of Alexa and Watson taking walks, and relaxing at home.”

“Lucas took wonderful care of our cat! Lucas sent updates to let us know how our cat was doing. It was our cat's first time away from us, and he was so well cared for -- we couldn't be more appreciative! Our pet looks forward to returning :)”
“Wallis was the best sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet our girls before caring for them and even got our shy cat to come out of our shell around her. We can tell that she cared about our cats like they were her own and will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future if able!”
“Rose always takes great care of our two cats, including one with some diabetic needs. Box cleaning, wet food, and medication administration always go well - we look forward to continuing to work with Rose!”
“Erin was an amazing sitter! This was my first time being away from my cat and everything could not have been better. I got pictures daily and my cat seemed like she had the best time and was super happy. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Exceptional cat sitter! Heather is detail orientated and figured out how to use my custom automated feeder setup. She also circled back late in the night to ensure that Samson was adequately fed which I greatly appreciated, as an anxious pet owner. Her pictures of him playing are adorable and may be better than some of my own pictures. I can not recommend her highly enough! I will definitely rebook in the future :)”
“David was great - so communicative and flexible! We added on an extra day at the last minute to beat the snowstorm, and he replied instantly about our request. He also sent photos and videos every single day! Highly recommend.”
“Cassy did a great job caring for our two cats. They seemed very comfortable with her in the pictures she shared. And she kindly dealt with cat mischief (plant pot disaster). Strong recommend.”
“Paulette was so kind and Pammy was very elaxed when I got home, I knew she had been well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to Paulette any time I need a cat sitter in the future!”
“Regan was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease while I traveled for a conference. I have a sick cat, and she was not only understanding, but also communicative and flexible in taking care of him. She also sent tons of photos. I would have her help again in a heartbeat!”
“Ann was wonderful. She came every day and took care of the essentials. More than that she made friends with a very shy cat who finally ventured out to meet her. She is my top choice for the next trip.”
“Tony is easily the best sitter we’ve found on rover. We have a complicated old kitty and he administered the medication perfectly and was always on time. My wife and I are gleaming at the photos he takes. He even brought lighting setups for better action shots than we’ve taken of our cat in 15 years. Would hire again ad infinitum (and no, I am not a friend or paid reviewer or something, he really is that good!)”
“Clareese did an amazing job at watching my cat. She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the visits and sent me updates. Would definitely ask her to watch her again!”
“My high maintenance kitty was so well-cared for - he usually is a nervous wreck when I get back from a trip but not after Breanna looked after him and I'm so grateful ??”
“CK took excellent care of our cat Whiskers, who quickly warmed up to him. He is a solid communicator and timely. You can tell he really loves animals. We already have him booked for another visit.”
“Haley was great, and really eased our mind leaving our special needs older kitty in her hands. She was prompt to respond, sent great updates on every visit, and accommodated all the special requests we had to take care of Luna. And even though she barely saw Ellie I know she was also in good hands (Ellie is our hider). I wouldn't hesitate to book Haley again if we are away and need care for our kitties. We did a meet and greet first and that was very helpful to walk Haley through our needs, let her meet the kitties, and let us get to know her a little. Thanks Haley for caring for our girls!”
“Keilah is a great pet sitter! I have an extremely shy and anxious cat and somehow she got him to come out and play a little and even got a photo of him giving her a kiss! I was shocked! I recommend her for any pet needs and will absolutely be going back to her.”

“Justin takes amazing care of Finn, and Finn gets along so well with Justin's corgi, Watson. We also get tons of great updates about how Finn's day is going, and it's clear he always has a great time. Thanks again!”
“Christy, Louie, and Bandit we’re wonderful hosts. I needed to go out of town for the day and this was my first time using Rover. Traditional dog daycares seem to make Mungo nervous and this was a much better arrangement. Christy was so kind and we were able to do a quick meet and greet in advance. I knew immediately that Mungo would be comfortable with her. It was a huge relief knowing that the dog was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Many thanks!”
About: Located in Bloomfield / Shadyside — I’ve had over 10 cats in my life (many of whom lived to 18+!) as well as 2 dogs. I’ve pet-sat for all kinds of dogs, cats, and fish for neighbors and friends. Feel free to reach out and I can drop by to feed and play with the cat, take the dog for a walk, whatever you need! Have taken care of both old and young pets. Currently have a flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can see what works ! I have a car which gives me even more flexibility. I’m diligent in following instructions and always keeping an eye on potential hazards or escape routes for your beloved pet. I’m a quick communicator and won’t hesitate to ask any questions !
“Sophie was fantastic and Eva seemed happy when I went to pick her up. I would be very comfortable leaving Eva in Sophie's care again if needed. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet girl!”
“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”
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.
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.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life including fish, rodents, small birds, and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have experience with senior dogs, and anxious pups. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, medication, cuddles, and supervision. I have a low energy sweet senior pup who loves other dogs, and will begrudgingly share the couch with others. I also have a small parrot who generally minds his own business, but will be happy to let your pet know they’re a “pretty birdy”. My house is always stocked with disposable potty pads, reusable chucks, and all the pet safe enzyme cleaner anyone could need to clean up after old friends who have incontinence issues. There are throw rugs for comfort and traction, and a number of orthopedic beds perfect for pets with mobility issues who need a rest. You can bring your pets favorite treats with, and know that they also have access to a variety of different high quality easy to chew treats. Pets have access to a fenced in backyard with an outdoor patio for enjoying some fun in the sun on the outdoor sectional. They can enjoy walks in a quiet part of the neighborhood. I even have a stroller for pets under 20lbs.
“Valerie was terrific! She treated our little Hattie like her own and provided routine updates with pictures. We've already scheduled our next Doggy Day Care!”
“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.”
“Hannah took good care of my puppy. We were sightseeing in the area and she took care of Charly for two days. She sent updates and pics throughout the day of outside activities and his daily water/food intake. Will definitely use her again if we are visiting the area!”

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!

“David took awesome care of Zeppole on short notice. He left fun greeting videos and photos and gave her a ton of love and attention during a long work day away. He was super flexible, a wonderful communicator and clearly really loves and cares about pups!”

“Heather is the best dog sitter I've ever found. My dog is very particular, as a senior Jack Russell rescue. Heather is one of her favorite people. Heather consistently goes above and beyond what would ever be expected because she cares so much. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Valerie has been wonderful to work with! I feel so comfortable leaving Finn with her, and he seems to welcome her company. She’s also very responsive and gives detailed summaries. I definitely recommend her!!”

“Jordan has been FABULOUS!! She walks our amazing goldendoodle 3 times a week, and our pup couldn’t love it more if she tried. Jordan is incredibly kind and loving to our doodle, and we are so thankful to have found her. We love her kind and detailed updates after each visit, and love when she shares cute pictures taken throughout their walks! She is incredibly dedicated too - even walking our pup in this crazy winter weather we’re having! Highly recommend Jordan to anyone and everyone - she’s the best of the best!”
“Yasmeen is just the sweetest and truly cares about animals. She was so patient with my skiddish pup and did her best to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable with her. I'd highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a cat! I have fostered cats before and am familiar with medications and some of those more shy/scared personalities. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pet and want to help create as much comfort for them as possible while you’re away. I am currently a grad student so I have a lot of schedule flexibility! Feel free to message me and I should be able to adapt to your needs. I intend to care for your pets exactly the way you do in your home. I am great at following instructions to the T and will respect any preferences you have with care. I’m also tidy and will clean up any messes that are made so your home looks exactly the way you left it.
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.
“Great communication, punctual, sweet with my dog, productive walks (poop & pee everytime!) and provides good updates ! And helps with last minute bookings when she can. Big fan of Abigayle!”
“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”
About: I have had a dog of my own for nine years and think I would be a great fit to take care of your animal. I know what to do in different situations with dogs and cats because I have babysat dogs and cats before. I have a lot of free time to properly take care of your animals.

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.
“Brad was amazing with my dog Ivy. It’s the first time leaving her with someone she didn’t know and I couldn’t have asked for it to go any better. He treated her like his own and sent me updates and pictures regularly. I will definitely be booking with Brad in the future!”
“Krista did an amazing job watching our dog, Max!! She kept us up to date with pictures and videos, and checked in when she had questions about Max. I would highly recommend working with her, it was a great experience for both us and Max!”
“Adrienne was wonderful. Quick to respond and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. She did a great job with our sensitive little dog. We will definitely call on her again.”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“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!”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Coralee takes care of our two dogs during the holidays and treats them like part of the family! We are so grateful to have such a kind, reliable caretaker for our fur babies while we are out of town”
“Nicole watched my dog while I was out of town and did a great job! I got plenty of updates, her home was lovely, and my old dog seemed so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“Victoria has taken care of our boys multiple times now, and they are always excited to go back to her! We get photos, videos, and updates every day. She’s always our first choice for dog sitting when we go out of town.”
“Adam was fantastic with Macy! He sent daily pictures of their activities; even twice on most days! Kept us up-to-date on all things and really gave us peace of mind leaving Macy behind for two weeks. We would 110% reach out to Adam again the next time we need a sitter for Macy.”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“Nelia is so great! She provides updates at least two times per day, and with multiple pictures. She is very easy to communicate and with timely reply. The kids are very friendly as well. Nelia and her family are definitely recommended! Thank you, Nelia!”
“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”
“Ellyn and her family are simply the best!! They’ve watched our little Bobo (80 lb australian shepard lol) a few times and the most recent was for about a week and a half. She kept us updated and sent lots of pics which helped as I get anxious leaving him!! They live in a great location and bobo got so many walks and even had other doggy friends staying with him. We could tell he loved his time with her!! 10/10 recommend:)”
“Erin has now watched Eleanor (12 year old Chinese Crested - Beagle) twice, and has been absolute dream to work with! Eleanor is quite picky when it comes to sitters, and takes quite a long time to warm up to people. Her connection with Erin was immediate. I received multiple updates every day, very clear line of communications, and drop off and pick up very timely. I highly recommend Erin, and look forward to working with Erin many more times.”
“Valerie was the absolute best sitter we could’ve asked for. She’s incredibly compassionate and truly a dog whisperer—our dog felt comfortable, cared for, and happy the entire time. We had total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. Would recommend Valerie without hesitation. 10/10 ⭐️”
“Justin was very welcoming and after a visit together with Watson, I left Alexa in good hands. Justin sent lots of pictures of Alexa and Watson taking walks, and relaxing at home.”
