“It just dawned on me that I failed to write a review for Jessica months ago. I am a believer that it is never too late, so here goes. Jessica watched our furbabies on a few occasions and we were obviously pleased. She took very good care of them and provided us with updates and photos. She loved on them and allowed them to feel at home. Thank you so much, Jessica!”

“Left my dog there for the week , he loves to stay there and not wanting to leave with me lol. She is great sent me photos daily and keeps me updated on my dog. Will definitely come back”

“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!”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”


“Accommodated my last minute request! Took good care of my dogs! I would definitely recommend Dara! She has a fenced yard that my girls really enjoyed! Thank you Dara!”

“Our dog raced to the front door remembering her stay with Jena and Nick from last year. She remained happy and was able to stick to her normal routines while there. Jena sent pictures and updates regularly and was good about reporting any concerns or issues such as the air quality preventing long walks. They were genuinely concerned about Liz’s well being which is so important to us. Our pet was well cared for, and we plan to use them any time we need a dog sitter. We find them to be reliable, caring, and responsible and know Liz is in good hands while we are away.”


“Coralee and her family are wonderful people. They were so warm and loving, it felt like we were leaving Olive with family. Olive and Coralee's pup Angel became good friends. Olive looked happy and relaxed in all the pics Coralee sent, which we appreciated a lot along with her regular updates. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“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!”

“I was nervous about leaving my 7 month old lab for a week, especially with having some stomach problems prior to leaving. Chang was great at sending daily updates with pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs to leave their pup behind while they go away”

“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.❤️”
“Bryn and boots were great hosts! Bryn took great care of our dog Julie. She seemed to really care about and follow Julie’s schedule. She was extremely communicative and we really appreciated all the updates even during a holiday week. Julie seemed to love spending time and playing with Boots. We will definitely be requesting to book again!”

“This is a genuinely wonderful, kind family. My pups have been on short and long stays with them. The communication is excellent. Nelia asked questions to make sure the pups felt safe and at home and sent lots of pictures. It gives me comfort knowing the pups are in good hands. I highly recommend!”

“Christy took great care of our puppies. Sent lots of photos and updates too during their stay. Definite fellow dog lover. So much better for them than a kennel. Thank you Christy. See you again in August.!”

“Gracie was well cared for by Carol. She is very experienced with dogs. Great fenced in backyard which was safe for a puppy to run around. I have a 6 month old puppy who is a ball of energy. I think she exhausted everyone 😊”

“Maura was kind, communicative, and took really great care of our dog, Finn. She sent updates and photos which was much appreciated, and we could tell Finn felt right at home cuddling on the couch. We’d definitely have Maura watch him again!”

“Our dog Taylor had another great weekend stay with Andrew and Karen! Andrew sent us lots of updates with photos and videos. Will be using them again soon for our week long vacation.”

“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:)”

“We HIGHLY recommend Ursula. We returned home after a week away and found our cats happy, well fed, and the house very clean. Ursula kept us updated with pictures and little notes about how they were doing. She also took in our mail, and vacuumed around the house. We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter. Thank you Ursula!”


“Nicole was an amazing sitter. It was my first time using rover and if I ever have to leave my cat with a sitter again I'll definitely leave her with Nicole. She sent updates and pictures daily and communications was so smooth and easygoing.”


“Tiffany did an amazing job reliably checking, playing with, and taking care of my cat Pippy while I was away on vacation. I would highly recommend her!”

“Cassidy took excellent care of my kitties. She was respectful of my home and of the very shy kitties living within it. She sought them out every visit, offering treats or play, and made sure they knew someone was keeping watch over them. I am very appreciative of her care for them. Thank you!”

“Cam took such excellent care of my kitties! Great, thorough, timely, and hilarious updates. My cats were so chill when I got home, I seriously think they were like, wait a minute, where’s Cam, what are you doing here?? Gilly has a new best friend, and even Petunia, my cat with a shall we say ‘difficult’ personality, was warming up. I’d hire Cam again in a heartbeat!”

“Maria is an amazing sitter! We cannot be more grateful and relieved to have someone as Maria watch Penny! Maria is flexible, very kind to Penny and super with her updates.”

“Teneisha was amazing and braved the crazy snowstorm all week to make sure my two cats were cared for and safe. I am beyond grateful! Will definitely be using her again!”

“Clareese is the best!!! She took amazing care of our cat while we were away and sent us lots of cute pictures. Would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs, and will definitely hire her again the next time we go on vacation. Thank you Clareese!”


“Happy to continue booking with Christy year after year. I always have peace of mind that my kitty will be well looked after while we are out of town.”

“This is the first time I used Rover for dog sitting, and I absolutely hit the jackpot with Greg!!! I highly recommend him to anyone in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh for dog-related services. He is very friendly, caring, highly flexible, and trustworthy, and he maintained excellent communication/was highly responsive during the week that he watched my lab, Lily. Not a single concern crossed my radar leaving Lily with Greg for doggy day care. I knew she was in good hands and would be looked after well.”


“Amy was great! Cronus has so much fun playing with the other dogs. He will definitely be a regular! She gives great updates and makes sure that your furry friend is taken care of. ☺️”

“Valerie and her son were absolutely incredible!! We made the request last minute and she was able to accommodate us which was so sweet. She’s great with communication and flexible as well. Most importantly, she kept in touch with us throughout the day, kept Wilson active and playful, and gave us a very detailed report at the end of the day. We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”

“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!”


“Laura is incredible. My dog is fairly obsessed with both Laura and her husband and I have full confidence she is well loved and cared for when she's at Laura's. All the stars!”

“Mimo had such an amazing time with Liz and her family! Upon meeting, I immediately felt relieved leaving Mimo with her. Liz is very experienced with all types of dogs and was very attentive to Mimo when interacting with other dogs at daycare. She asked about Mimo’s quirks and dislikes upon booking which showed her understanding in the different personalities in dogs. Mimo loved them and can’t wait to see them again. Thank you Liz!”

About: I grew up with a chihuahua and small pomapoo and after that I had two Great Danes. I currently have a golden doodle named Sesame. I have a pretty relaxed schedule currently so I’m free nearly 24/7 to be able to care for your fur babies. I can do overnight stays as well! Making sure that both the pets and owner feel comfortable is a top priority. From there, I find it important to figure out the dogs routine and make sure I stick to it.
“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!”


About: I am the current owner of an 10 week old Rough Collie and a two year old Dalmatian Lab mix. Our fur babies are just as important as our human one! My family also has solid experience with senior pets. I have had many and varied pets over the years: cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, birds and have loved them all! I will love your baby just like my very own! Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to care for your non human babies! I look forward to meeting each and every one! If you talk with any of my family and friends they know how crazy I am about my fur babies and your fur babies will too! I look forward to meet you in person! Sincerely, I am a full time stay at home caregiver for my dad who is partially paralyzed. I am able to always be available to your pets in my home. I am able to let your dogs run free in my fenced-in and private back yard and I can walk them daily or more around my pet friendly neighborhood.
“Sara was absolutely great. It seems that, unfortunately, my one dog was growling at another dog and she handled it perfectly. She was communicative, welcoming and professional. I would definitely book her again to look after my pups.”

“Melissa was amazing. Jake and I received an amazingly warm welcome when dropping off. My dog has anxiety issues and Melissa and her crew were wonderful. They took Jake on walks, took him to the park and he was so happy. Truly one of the best experiences Jake and I have had. So incredibly wonderful.”

“Lauriane was wonderful! Our Louie is a nervous boy and Lauriane's calm demeanor allowed Louie to feel comfortable and right at home. Lauriane kept us updated with photos and texts throughout the day letting us know how Louie was adjusting. We would not hesitate to recommend Lauriane!”

“Geoffrey was wonderful with Titan! He took him on plenty of walks, sent me lots of updates, and even dealt with Titan being on restricted play time with his partial ACL tear. I picked up an exhausted, happy pup!”

“Michael has been nothing but the best puppy daycare provider! Our little Lenora had a great time and as opposed to a kennel-she got lounge in a familiar household setting, get cuddles all day, and had the best care.”

“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I recently graduated from college and moved to the city, and I’m excited to continue spending time with animals through dog walking and pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My family has Dane Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds, but I also adore small dogs like my aunt’s two mini dachshunds. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important routines, exercise, patience, and affection are for dogs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands! I work full-time, but my schedule is similar to shift work. I have open mornings and the occasional free weekend! Pet care is something I enjoy, gets me outside, and is a little bit of exercise all at once. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide updates (and lots of pictures!) so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. My goal is for the pets to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. That means sticking to their routine, staying in familiar environments, and being aware of the surrounding stressors. I am great at following clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter box care, and any special routines their pets are used to. I also keep homes clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I can provide services at the client's home; I don't have boarding facilities.
“Greg has been walking my german shepherd puppy Raven in the afternoons 3x a week while I’m at work for a couple weeks now. Since Raven started the walks, she has been more obedient when I get home, and accidents in the crate have diminished since Greg is kind to give Raven more time to do her business outside. Greg also brings his dog Zora so Raven has other doggy interaction which is great! Greg is also prompt at responding to messages and has been very flexible if my work schedule changes. I’m so glad I found him on Rover!”


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 balancing being in school, but I am open to finding a time that works for both of us. Feel free to 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.
“Cannot thank Tiffany enough for her flexibility and thoroughness when walking Turtle! She is a great communicator, and shares detailed info about their walks! It's a weight off my shoulders on busy days, and I can always count on Turtle to have a great time when he walks with Tiffany!”

“Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, volunteered walking regular, power and bashful dogs for 2 years at the humane animal rescue of Pittsburgh, currently have 2 cats. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walking the dogs on weekdays and weekends. I will follow your instructions to take the best care of your loved pups, and cats! I can work with you and your loved pups to make the experience as joyful as possible.
“Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.”

“Christopher did a great job. He was communicated well and was reliable. We have a young vizsla who can be a little challenging but Christopher seemed to do very well with him and gave him plenty of exercise.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personalized approach, adaptability, and specialized skills. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from training puppies with patience and consistency to providing gentle care for senior pets with unique health needs. My focus on building trust with both pets and owners ensures peace of mind. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication and tailor routines to meet each pet’s emotional and physical needs, creating a safe, loving environment. My dedication to treating every pet like family truly sets me apart. Pet care fits into my routine through dedicated time blocks for feeding, walks, play, and grooming. Mornings often begin with feeding and walks, ensuring pets start their day energized. Midday or evening, I schedule additional walks and interactive play sessions to keep them active and mentally stimulated. Weekly tasks include grooming, restocking supplies, and maintaining their living spaces. I integrate these responsibilities seamlessly into my schedule to provide consistent and attentive care, ensuring their needs are always prioritized. Caring for pets involves tailored routines based on the pet’s needs and owner preferences. This includes providing regular walks for exercise and fresh air, ensuring proper feeding schedules, maintaining clean living spaces, and offering companionship to keep pets emotionally healthy. Whether at home or in a client’s residence, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, treating each pet with love and respect as if they were my own.
About: I've watched and walked friends and neighbors dogs since I was eleven years old. While my paid experience is currently minimal, my familiarity, energy, and reliability goes the extra mile. Whether you're short on time, heading on vacation, or not physically able to take your pup on the walk they need, I'm here to help. I've was also lucky enough to have a sassy silver tabby cat of my own for 17 years. I adore cats and would gladly sit for them as well. I'm currently in-between jobs, focusing on a passion project so I have plenty for time and flexibility to look after your pet's needs. I am not currently available to board in my home as my lease does not allow pets, but I'd gladly look after them in your home once we've established trust between us and your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both drop in and overnight visits, for two years now. I’ve dealt with small and large dogs and know how to handle them. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in one house and know the different needs each dog requires! I am currently on break for summer from college so I am available anytime throughout the week and weekends. If you are booking day of please be aware I may have other arrangements but for the most part I should be free. Any rules and information I need are required before I enter the home. And for non emergency appointments a meeting with the dog and you present is preferred.
“Heather does an amazing job with my 2 pups!! She makes sure they have on their coats or harnesses depending on the cold temps. My pups enjoy the long walks with her and being able to sniff at their own pace!! The pups get so excited to see her! Definitely would recommend Heather to take care of your pets!!”

“We were in Pittsburgh for our wedding and were lucky enough to book with a few days notice. She was responsive and communicative. Very easy to book with and seemed capable of handling our awkward and anxious catahoula tripod.”

About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

Throughout the weekend they kept me updated with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be more grateful — thank you both so much!”

“This was our first time leaving Bear with Tyler and he was amazing! We have always left our dogs in kennels when we left for vacation, but wanted to try using a dog sitter because Bear always came home exhausted and a little stressed. Luckily, we found Tyler! He was very welcoming and obviously loves dogs. After our meet a week before our vacation , I and my family felt completely at ease leaving Bear with Tyler. During our trip, Tyler sent regular updates and pictures showing how great Bear was doing. At no time were we worried or concerned. We would absolutely recommend Tyler to anyone looking to have their dog in a caring, relaxed, and active environment. We will absolutely be using Tyler in the future! Bear loved hanging with him!”

“Wow! Krista is just fantastic. We’ve used several Rover sitters over the years and she is hands down the absolute best. Clear communication, flexible, great house and yard. Our dog had some special needs and she managed to listen to all of our laundry list of instructions. Plus, her dog Griffin is so well tempered and got along so well with our dog. They played every day. I picked my dog up to spend about an hour with him and when I brought my dog back to Krista’s, his tale was wagging like crazy just to get back into her home! And my dog has pretty intense separation anxiety! Krista is a true “dog person” and has the intuition and experience to take great care of your pup.”

I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
