“Great dog sitters for my anxious little dog. They sent updates and photos daily. My dog was more comfortable the second time around. I will be booking you again in the future! Thank you.”
“We LOVED Victoria. She's a very experienced dog owner and knows how to slowly introduce dogs to keep a safe environment. I've used Rover for a few years but Victoria went out of her way to send extra video and picture updates every few hours. Our dogs were clearly having a good time and doing well. We will definitely rebook if we can!”
“Hands down the best sitter I’ve had since moving to Pittsburgh. Caring, attentive and gives you lots of updates. He took great care of Terrence and we’re satisfied and happy we’ve found a sitter we’ll consistently come back to”
“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”
“Kathleen was great! She accommodated me at the last minute when I really needed her and put my mind at ease! She was very thorough and caring while getting to know Munchkin’s habits and interests. She has a very nice house with a fenced in yard where she could run around and play. She updated me regularly with photos and videos of her and took her on a long walk. Kathleen was a fantastic find.”
“Christine takes very good care of my Winnie. She's reliable and communicates all the things you want to know along w pictures. I've had Winnie stay with her multiple times and will rebook in the future.”

“Denise was a great sitter for our pup! She was very flexible with scheduling and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would definitely work with her again and recommend!”
“Finn stayed with Ryan and his two dogs at their house for a long weekend and came back to us calm, happy, and tired. 😍 Ryan is very sweet with Finn and has a soft-spoken voice and easy-going disposition. He took the dogs out for long, lovely walks and hikes each day shared the most wonderful pics and videos of the dogs with his regular updates. I would absolutely choose Ryan to take care of Finn next time we go out of town. We are grateful and very happy to have connected on Rover and that it is such a good fit!”
“Nelia and Brett are incredible dog sitters. We left our dog Rocky with them for a week and they were the most caring and accommodating people we could have trusted. They truly cared about Rocky.”

“Ann was excellent! She kept me updated daily with pictures & video. Ann took her for daily walks which was good as Callie loves to take walks and I felt at ease knowing Callie would be well taken care of. I wouldn’t have anyone else take care of Callie and we will be going to Utah in the spring for my granddaughter's wedding and will get Ann again if she is available.”
“Jonathan did an excellent job caring for Simi. He was attentive and provided frequent updates, which we really appreciated. Simi absolutely adored him!”
About: I am a junior at the University of Pittsburgh. I spent much of my childhood training my mini poodle to do many tricks! I love playing with dogs of all ages, and am a big fan of long walks! I hope I can bring your doggies as much happiness as they bring me :) Contact me anytime! I am available for drop ins and walks all days EXCEPT Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am available for overnight boarding/sitting on Thursday nights, Friday nights, Saturday nights, and Sunday nights. I have no animals in my own apartment. I will always make sure your pup feels well loved, is well fed, and has plenty of water and exercise! I will make sure to follow all leash rules that you provide.
“Kirsten was great and very helpful with boarding my dog while I was traveling. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets when needed.”
“THE BEST!!! Lucy and Matt watched my long hair miniature dachshund, Miss Molly. They immediately knew that with doxies you must protect their sensitive backs/asked about ramps and made her that she had her ramps during the stay. This was such a relief to me as a Doxie mom to know they would be caring for her the way I do. I could tell from the wonderful photos they sent me that they took time to make sure Miss Molly was comfortable in their house and that they were so patient with her. Matt and Lucy do a fabulous job of keeping me updated on their adventures with Miss Molly each day. From pup cups and cuddle time, my little girl was smiling from ear to ear. When I dropped her off, I knew she was a little nervous. By the end of her stay, I received so many sweet videos of my little one giving both Lucy and Matt cuddles and kisses. Thank you Matt and Lucy for watching over my little girl, making her so comfortable and making her staycation the absolute best!”
