About: I’ve had pets all my life and don’t want to imagine a day without a fuzzy creature around! I am responsible, loving, and nurturing to animals I stay mostly around the area I live, so am available to be around when your pet needs it. I will make sure they have adequate attention and care! I have a yard (not fenced) and live in a very nice walking neighborhood close to plenty of parks and beautiful sights that animals can enjoy
“Morgan is very kind and responsive. After each visit she takes time to leave very detailed messages of her visit. She quickly has gotten to know my dog and knows how to understand her body language. I feel very comfortable with her taking care of my dog.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with dogs and cats of all personalities! I currently share my home with Kisses, my calico, and Teddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer — one of the highest-energy breeds out there — so if your dog goes a mile a minute, I'm more than ready for it!! Over the years I've dog sat for all sizes and breeds — from tiny lap dogs to large, boisterous pups — and I treat every single one like they're my own. Your pet will be loved, played with, and completely spoiled. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, zoom, and explore that's perfect for dogs who need to burn off some energy. I'm also comfortable administering medication, so pets with special health needs are absolutely welcome. Your baby will get the same attentive care at my place that they get at home. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy stay or a high-energy playmate, I've got them covered. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care is never an afterthought. It's woven into my whole day. I'm home the majority of the week, and on the rare occasion I do step out, I'm never gone for more than 3 hours. Your pet will always have someone present, attentive, and ready to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. No long stretches alone, ever. My home is set up thoughtfully for both dogs and cats. The layout is split-level, with cats having full run of the upstairs and dogs enjoying the main floor plus access to the fully fenced backyard — plenty of space to play, explore, and burn energy safely. The two never have to share space unless everyone is comfortable. I do have a resident calico and a German Shorthaired Pointer, both of whom are friendly and social, so I do ask that visiting pets are comfortable around other animals of their kind. I always offer a free meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone — pets and people — feels good about the stay before any commitment is made. My home is puppy-proofed and high-energy-dog-ready, and I have 24/7 SimpliSafe security monitoring for added peace of mind. You can expect regular photos and updates throughout every stay because you shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions exactly. Your routines, your rules — meal times, crate preferences, favorite toys, walking routes — I stick to all of it. I respect your home as if it were my own, always clean up after your dog outside, and scoop litter boxes daily. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point.
“Amanda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away, with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her. If I ever need a cat sitter in the future, I plan to rebook.”
About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!
About: I have been around dogs for much of my life and am happy to fulfill their playing, food, and walking needs! Excited to help out This summer I have an extremely flexible schedule that can work around whatever is needed for your pet care! I am able to take care of pets all weekdays for as long as needed. I will not be able to care for pets in my home, but I am happy to pet sit and walk at clients' homes and around their neighborhoods and parks.
About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.
“Justin was great! He was very quick to communicate about booking and visits! He was on-time and flexible for drop-in visits, and he provided great updates and photos of his time with Callie! They went for plenty of walks, and Justin spent extra time throwing the ball for her, and just relaxing at home for extra company while I was away! I will book again with Justin for my next trip! He did a fantastic job with Callie!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Erin took great care of my cats and sent me tons of photos and videos of them playing. I can tell everyone was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Sandra is definitely an animal lover!! She was extremely gentle with my cats and asked lots of great questions to ensure their idiosyncracies were well planned for. She took some fantastic photos and never stopped trying to win over my picky tortie. She left my home incredibly tidy. I'd have her back anytime.”
About: We are a Mother (Brooke 44 yo), and 2 kids (Clementine 8 yo and Indigo 6 yo) who care for your pup with kindness and fun!

We value slow living and try our best not to overschedule our lives, leaving room for opportunities like pet care. We have a loving home and can cater to your pet’s needs. We love giving your pet exercise and play time which comes effortlessly for our 2 kids :)
“Jessica did a wonderful job with my cat! She did drop-ins visits with her and I really appreciated her communication and sending pictures. This is my first time hiring a pet sitter (other than friends), so I really appreciated her professionalism and thoughtful care of my cat, especially over the holiday. Would 100% recommend!”
“Gary was great! I loved that he was willing to meet prior to my first booking to meet myself and Halo. She’s still a very shy pup and he got her to actually potty outside for her morning walk! Very friendly, communicative and professional!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on time each day and communicated well, sending us pictures of our kitty every day.”
About: I will love your dog as if they were my own and take care of them exactly as you would! I know how fickle and specific dogs can be and I will do my best to make your dog feel confident and comfortable while you are gone. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes in urban and suburban areas as well as experience with puppies and potty training. I work part time, so I have tons of time to shower your pets with love and attention and am very flexible for the needs of you and your pet. I will always leave a space better than I found it and will take good care of your pet and your home so that you can feel confident that your pet is having a good time while you are gone!
Wilkinsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tony has been a consistent high performer when it comes to the care of our dog. I appreciate how in tune he is with our dogs' needs. He not only provides basic care giving, but also love and affection for our pup in my family's absence. I highly recommend him.
Valerie did a wonderful job watching Archie! She kept me updated with regular texts and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Archie was well cared for and happy the whole time. I would absolutely recommend Valerie and would gladly book with her again!
For a vacation where everything that could go wrong almost did, Kayli was the one reliable positive thing that we had to deal with through our planning and travels! Kayli was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was super understanding and easy going while dealing with our pipes freezing while she stayed with our pets. I also think our pets behaved better for her than they do for us!! I was a little reluctant to use rover as we have always had friends stay with our pets but I am so happy to have found Kayli!
Seda accommodated a drop in on short notice. She did great with my rambunctious, giant Great Dane puppy! She’s clearly an animal whisperer who knew exactly how to handle my little blind cat and my bossy old lady cat. She was communicative and handled everything independently. I totally trusted her with my babies.
