“100% would recommend Ric to care for your pups. Great daily updates and quick response time on bookings. Oscar stayed 1 full week and certainly felt at home. Thanks!!”
“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.”
“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of Buffy for the week we were on vacation. Her home is set up perfectly to take care of pets, with a nice, fenced-in backyard. She sent us pictures and updates daily. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our drop off and pick up schedules. We had absolutely no worries about leaving our dog with Jessica and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.”
“Amy was amazing!! She sent pictures of my dog frequently and provided a lot of updates. She took such great care of my dog. She is reliable, prompt, and attentive! She made sure my dog got lots of walks and did fun activities. I will be using her again in the future!!”
“My cat is anxious and shy and Audrey did a great job keeping her comfortable. She was very responsive and I received regular updates. My cat didn’t want to leave her at the end haha. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything! 🩷”
“Beedo had a fabulous time with Coralee. From the moment we arrived and the way she greeted us I knew this was going to go well. Coralee was attentive to Beedo's special needs and quirks and built an instant relationship with him. It was a great experience and I loved the picks she sent me of him relaxing with his blankie with her dog. I highly recommend Coralee and her dog Peducci. They're a great care team!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Breanna doggie sitting our senior girl over the weekend. Breanna’s communication throughout the process was amazing proving updates and photos. Her experience with dogs truly showed. We had no worries! Highly recommend Breanna. Our girl misses her already.”
“Our dogs were well taken care of over a weekend at Shannon and Steven's home! They were very communicative and based on all the photos, we know our dogs received the thing they crave the most = snuggles. We were thankful they were able to accomodate us in the mix with their 2x dogs. We'd definitely book with them again if Louie and Bess would allow it! ☺️”
“Sierra always takes excellent care of Max! He has some separation anxiety and can be shy at times, but he is always very excited to see her when I drop him off. I can tell that he is very relaxed under her care and really enjoys all the snuggles and play time!”
“Absolutely loved how well our dogs were treated when staying with Kristina and Fletcher. They were so great about keeping us updated everyday and sending photos of the dogs even when we were not able to reply with bad reception. My dogs were genuinely happy and I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Pam was absolutely lovely! She was able to help us on super short notice after our original sitter stopped responding to messages. She always answered promptly when I would send her a message and took extra care to ask about a health need for our dog she noticed during her stay. We received pictures everyday so we knew she was ok and having a good time. I would absolutely recommend her!!!”
“Rachel was excellent with my senior dog, Majic! I'm always nervous when I leave him with someone for the first time. But, I felt so comfortable with Rachel during the week that I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying. I received frequent updates and pics while we were away. And, if Rachel had a question, she texted to ask. She followed all of our instructions including feeding and giving his eye medication. Rachel was very attentive and made sure Majic felt like home. We will definitely sit with Rachel again in the future!”
“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:)”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My first dog on my own as an adult is currently a senior. He is a very sweet and gentle dog who loves to play with new friends. I have about 10 years of experience, dog sitting friends and family members' dogs. I am comfortable working with food aggressive dogs, highly anxious dogs, and everyone in between. I am experience with administering medications, working with puppies and supporting senior dogs. I have a great track record with leash training, potty training and winning over anxious dogs. I use positive reinforcement (single ingredient dried pumpkin treats) to keep your pups attention and gain their trust. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand in order to gain your trust too :) I look forward to working with you! I currently work part-time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I am available for walks after 2:00 p.m. on those days and all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, but will be out of the house for the hours of 8-1 MWF. My partner works from home, so if your dog need 24/7 care we can arrange that. As I mentioned in my bio, my main training mechanism is positive reinforcement. I do not believe in punishing dogs. In my experience it does not work and does not feel good! That being said, I am happy to work with you and come up with a plan together.
“Joe was awesome with Zingo. He took great care of zingo and sent regular updates. Since Zingo is old I was a bit worried initially but Joe made sure that Zingo was comfortable and had a good time.”
“Boone had such a great time with Brittany and pippin!! He loved being able to run free in the fenced in yard , and to have a friend to play with :) received pictures/ videos during his stay too!”

“Kristi did a wonderful job watching our Diesel. She kept him active, sent photos, videos and kept us updated throughout his stay. I will definitely recommend Kristi to other dog moms and use her again when needed!”

“Casey has been caring for my dogs and cats while I am away for years, and she has been exceptionally good with them. They always seem so happy when I pick them up, and I can have peace of mind that they are having fun, exercising, and being treated with respect when with Casey. I have a small dog with behavioral issues who can be difficult to find care for, and Casey meets him where he's at, respects his boundaries, and he LOVES her! This dog doesn't love anyone! Would highly recommend Casey.”

Wilkinsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are so grateful to have found such reliable and kind sitters to care for Nash during his 9-night stay! Sophie and her boyfriend treated our mini bernedoodle, Nash wonderfully and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We are so thankful for the excellent care they provided and will absolutely use Sophie again for upcoming needs. Highly recommend!
Joe did a great job taking care of our dog Brandy. He updated us with messages and photos on a regular basis which helped us feel at ease for the days we were away. It's obvious that Joe truly cares about the dogs he looks after. Brandy came home happy, healthy and relaxed and we would definitely book with him again.
10/10 would recommend! I was really nervous about leaving my 2 dogs since they both have separation anxiety. Also because both of my dogs can be dog aggressive. Kristina and Fletcher were so amazing! They sent photos and updates everyday. They made me feel like I wasn’t leaving my dogs with strangers. I would 100% use them again!

Great experience!! To be honest, I don’t trust many people with my stubborn Shiba but Sel took great care or him! He sent lots of updates and pick up/drop off was convenient and easy. He was super flexible! Also… my shibe is usually a litttttle particular but he got along great with his dog Stella and he has a big fenced backyard for the doggos to play in. Overall 10/10! Definitely recommend Sel and Stella! I think my dog was even a little sad to come home with me 😂
Tracie did an amazing job taking care of Buddy—she literally fed him like a baby and made sure he was comfortable every step of the way. It's clear how much love and attention she gave him, and we can tell he’s missing you all, especially his playtime with Link. We're so grateful for everything you did to make Buddy feel at home while we were away. I can confidently say that with Tracie, your fur baby is in the safest hands. We’ll definitely be reaching out again!
