“Connor is an excellent sitter. He's very thoughtful and attentive to our pets needs (love, attention, walks, sniffs), and our needs (lots of adorable dog pics). He's very respectful and also top notch on the house sitting front as well. We are looking forward to having Connor watch our boys again soon (and I know they feel the same)!”

“Ann was very nice, my dog and cat were very happy when I got home. Ann was very accommodating about staying at the house with Hank and Snowball. I’m very thankful to her for taking great care of them while I was out of town.”

“Mirren was amazing with our senior dog and young kitten. Both pets were very happy with her and she was an amazing house sitter. Very respectful, on time, and gave us plenty of updates. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Mariah was wonderful - and so incredibly accommodating to our needs, as we travel across country. She took the girls, (Cher and Dion), on long walks to see the sights and sniffs of the city - and provided me with all the pictures I could ever want. Couldn't recommend her enough and will definitely be reaching out again the next time we're back in Pittsburgh.”

“Wallis went above and beyond to enable a reservation for us. Her updates during reservations are well timed, helpful, and informative. The action shots she has captured have been hilarious (#husky). Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Val was absolutely amazing with my two dogs. She sent pictures throughout the day and took exceptional care of them. We will definitely be asking her back.”

“Alyssa was amazing! We went away for a weekend and she stayed with our (needy, dramatic, loving, sweet) old dog. Our dog loves her and seemed to take to her immediately. We’ll definitely work with Alyssa again”

“I always feel at ease when Flora is watching my two cats. My girls feel comfortable with her and are always in a happy mood when I come home. She is so mindful with my home as well, and is always so kind!”

“Evan did a wonderful job watching my two rescue babies and our home for 5 nights. He is kind, reliable and detail oriented. His communication is clear and timely. I was able to relax while I was away because I knew they were in loving and capable hands. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Makenzie was nothing short of incredible! My husband and I were using Rover for the first time and it was a long trip out of the country so it was a bit daunting. Makenzie sent us daily updates and cared for our pup as we would (if not better ;p)! She went above and beyond so we could have a peaceful vacation. Highly recommend!”

“Heather has watched my doggie and cat 2x. They are great, sends me lots of pictures and updates. Keeps the house super clean. Simply the best.”

“This is our second time having Jessica watch our pups and again, she is wonderful. Very attentive and provides great communication. Mindful of our home and keeping things as is. Will definitely request Jessica to watch our dogs again!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years but always had dogs growing up that I would help take care of. I treat every dog that I care for like my own and aim to provide them with love, play, and extra pets while their owner is away. I have experience caring for older dogs and dogs with anxiety. Also happy to care for puppies. I’m trained in behavioral psychology and use learning theory techniques to help motivate good pup behavior. I’m currently working full time but happy to go on dog walks or sit on weekends. For the right dog, I’m also happy to dog sit mid week. You are the expert on your dog and their needs. I will happily follow any directions you provide for their care to make sure they are happy and comfortable.
“I was so anxious leaving my dog with separation anxiety alone for the first time but Angel was fantastic with him! They were also fantastic with our cat, who had developed eye issues just days before we were leaving and was able to treat her. I would definitely recommend angel for anyone that has dogs that need a little extra help.”
“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”
“Becca is an awesome pet sitter! She immediately attached to our dog who is very nervous and sometimes doesn’t like people. She was so supportive of his needs.”

Wilkinsburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Valerie was totally reliable, and took incredible good care of Hobbes. She played, cuddled and indulged Hobbes’ love for treats. He was a happy camper which we could see from all the photos and videos she sent us. She was able to capture his personality on the photos so well. Communication was prompt and regular as well. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Abigail is such an amazing sitter and person! She goes above and beyond to make it feel like our dog is on vacation as well!! She keeps us updated and shares lovely photos of their time together. I could not recommend Abigail more, I know that my dog is in good hands with her and the house is always as clean as when we left it! Thank you Abigail!!

Matilda was amazing with our dog, Biscotti, especially during a crazy winter storm. When our flight was canceled, she kindly stayed an extra night without hesitation. She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of him. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!

Wallis was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with Leo at our house for 9 nights and it was super smooth and easy. Leo loves her, she kept in touch daily and sent pictures and our house was left in perfect shape. We are so grateful and looking forward to having her watch Leo again.
