About: Hey there! I have many years of experience caring for dogs and am a dog-lover at heart. As a kid, my family owned a German Shorthaired Pointer named Emmitt (My brother was an Emmitt Smith fan. Please don't hold that against me! lol). I was responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up after, and most importantly, loving Emmitt ☺️. Over the years, I've dog-sat for many friends, family members, co-workers, etc. and am a very reliable and trustworthy care-taker. As a teacher, I have summers off, so my schedule is very flexible during the summer months. During the school year, I am only available on weekends and potentially during holiday breaks. I am very detail-oriented and will follow whatever instructions are left for me so that your pet is cared for exactly the way you envision. I am happy to send messages, photos, etc. to provide updates about your pet. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!
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 very easy going & understanding as well as open to being more knowledgeable with experience with pets / animals. Have had animals around me as a child & I also live by a park where i see pets often. Thank you for trusting me & I look forward to communicating I currently work at a gym in the waterfront. I am interested in this line of work because animals always need someone to love & care for them I’m attentive & aware of my surroundings so I would have no problems with protecting your pet as well as the home. Thank you for trusting me & look forward to communicating
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: I have had many dogs in my family growing up and have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I am comfortable with walking and taking care of dogs basic needs. I love getting outside and taking walks and would love to do so with a doggy companion. I am currently working full time remotely from home. I have plenty of time to spend throughout the day caring for your little ones. I also have plenty of time for getting outside to take walks. I have a fenced in yard and have 2 cats. I also have 2 guinea pigs, but they are caged and have their own room. I am available to care for your furry friend in my home, where they would be able to either roam free or have a spare bedroom for themselves while in my care.
“My pups, Rex and Bex, have been walking with David every week for a year. On the days that they know he’s coming, they can’t contain their excitement and sit at the window waiting for him! He is a reliable and caring dog walker for my energetic labs.”
“Wallis was very considerate to come and meet Murphy before our scheduled walk and visit. She was very dependable and came right on time to take Murphy out. I would definitely have her again”
“Fantastic walkers! They took great care of both my dog and cat while I was away on multiple occasions. They sent video/photo updates and were very reliable. Will continue to book again in the future!”
“Andrew did a fantastic job with Charley! We felt completely comfortable having him take care of our girl. All of the pictures and videos were great. We would definitely book him again”
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!
About: I’ve worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center for over three years, and have years of experience cat sitting for my neighbor. I’ve worked both in the kennel and daycare and have experience in different areas of animal care. As a recent graduate, I have more free time! I am a recent college graduate who works part time at a kennel. I am always able to make time to care for pets and adapt my schedule! I cater to the needs of the animal and owner. With having experience with different needs of an animal at my boarding and daycare job, I have an understanding of how to reach those needs.
About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!
“Madison was on time and sweet and it was a bad weather day and she took the dogs anyways and they had a good time and slept when they came home. Im definitely going to book Madison again. Thank you Madison”
Whitaker dog parents share their Rover experiences
Claire was great with our shy dog, Mimi. She has a really warm, friendly energy, which helped Mimi feel more comfortable and confident with her. Claire showed up right on time, followed our instructions closely, and was especially attentive to the notes we left about bunnies in the neighborhood since Mimi loves to chase. We really appreciated how prepared and careful she was. We were so happy she could help us with Mimi’s walks for two days, and we’d absolutely book with her again. All the stars! Highly recommend!
Casey is an incredible and extremely caring person. She was amazing with Goose and it brought us so much joy to read her recaps and see the photos of him after every walk. She is extremely trustworthy and I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup! ♥️
Breanna did an amazing job watching Archie! She communicated clearly and consistently which gave me so much peace of mind. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates, so I always knew he was happy and doing well. I really appreciated that she took the time to clean up after an accident without any issue—super responsible and thoughtful. Archie had such a fun day and it’s clear he was well cared for. I would absolutely book with Breanna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
