“Valerie is a TOP LEVEL pet sitter!!!! She far exceeds my expectations and I am thrilled that she is my regular sitter as I travel extensively for work. She is flexible with last minute bookings, drop off and pick up changes. She takes remarkable care of my senior dog with medical needs and provides enrichment activities for him. Frequent walks, snuggles, trips to the store for treats and car rides are his favorites with Valerie. My sweet Hershey looks happy in his frequent photos! I love the frequent updates and excellent communication about how he is doing. Valerie has a passion for animals and truly enjoys what she does!!!! A++++++++++++”
“Ronald and his partner took excellent care of Finley, provided periodic updates and pictures, and Finley was in great spirits when I picked him up.”
“Great as always! Milo always has such a great time when he stays with Kathleen. Kathleen always takes amazing care of him and allows me to be away from Milo with no worries. Milo will definitely be back!”
“Sharon is wonderful! She kept us constantly updated with lots of wonderful photos and videos of our dog, making me feel reassured and connected throughout our time away. Highly recommend Sharon for her excellent care and thoughtful communication.”
“Great! Very punctual and communicative. Supported Otto through the first day or so when he was very nervous until he was 100% comfortable. I would definitely have Sierra sit Otto again!”
“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.”
“Richard did a great job with Al. He kept me updated on Al’s daily activities with pictures and video. Al was able to play nicely with his dogs in the fenced in yard. Communication was easy and prompt. I’m happy with my experience with Richard and recommend him!”
“Carol took great care of our puppy, Max, for about a week while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! Max seemed so happy in all the videos and pictures Carol shared. I think Max actually misses being there and having more friends to play with! Carol is easy to communicate with and was very flexible and accommodating.”
“Jessica did a fantastic job looking after our Lily! My wife and I relaxed on our vacation, knowing that she was being taken very well care of. We not only look forward to utilizing Jessica‘s services in the future, but also certainly recommend her to anyone that needs pet sitting services. Thanks again, Jessica!”
“Joseph took very good care of our dog during our recent vacation. He was very flexible and accommodating when the airline delayed our scheduled return. We felt very comfortable leaving our precious dog with Joseph and look forward to using his services again in the future!”
“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!!”
“Coralee and her family were incredible. I got videos and/or photos everyday of our little lady. Our dog LOVED it at Coralee’s. Typically after boarding she gets in the car and starts whining and crying, but this time she immediately laid down and went to sleep. She was so exhausted from all the fun! I’m not sure she even wanted to go home with us! I would HIGHLY recommend Coralee to anyone. We’ve already got 2 more bookings with her for the summer, and I’m sure our pup is looking forward to playing with her friends again.”
“Amazing with my little void! Everyday pics and video and my little baby looked so happy to be there! Went above and beyond and made little toys for her!”
“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!”
“Kristi was absolutely fantastic. She scheduled a meet up with us and our dog prior to booking to ensure that both parties were happy and comfortable. She was very flexible in terms of drop off and pick up and communicated very clearly. While we were gone, she sent multiple pictures and videos of our dog daily and gave many updates. She took him on walks and gave him ample attention. We could tell through the media sent that our dog was happy and cared for. We will definitely be using Kristi again; it is clear she has a love for animals!”
“Great experience boarding my dog for a long weekend, and would definitely book again! Appreciated the photo updates and flexibility with pickup/dropoff. I know my dog was well cared for and had a great time.”
Wilkinsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sharon took FANTASTIC care of Izzy. From the meet and greet, to dropoff, pickup, and all the time in between, everything was well communicated. She made sure she had all the bases covered and asked all the right questions. While we were out, she sent plenty of pictures and video of our little sweetheart and made sure we knew just how much she was being loved on while we were away. This was our first time on Rover, but I think we've hit a goldmine of a sitter. We will 100% be taking Izzy back to see auntie Sharon!
We left our two dogs with Kristina and Fletcher for two weeks while we were getting married in Italy. We were initially a little nervous with the thought of leaving them with new sitters, but during our initial meeting, the dogs immediately took to them and we felt completely at ease. Throughout our trip, they sent regular photo updates and clearly put so much care into daily walks, cuddles, and playtime (even letting both 65+ lb dogs sleep in the bed!). When we picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way—clearly well exercised and loved the whole time. We’ll definitely use Kristina and Fletcher again and couldn’t recommend them more!
Shannon and Steven took WONDERFUL care of our little guy, Finn! The pictures they sent of him all cuddled up on their couch and playing with their own super cute puppies were delightful. Seeing how much fun he was having and how well he was taken care of made our days while we were gone. We hope to set up some playdates with their dogs again soon!
Dominique was great and her puppy, Ragnar, was a perfect playmate for Gustav. Communication was prompt, we got pictures throughout his stay, and our dog seemed to have a nice experience! Dominique was accommodating and understanding when we needed to shift pick up by a few hours.
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!
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!
