“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“I usually use Rover's boarding option, however, I wasn't able to find anyone in close proximity during this busy summer. With this being my first time using the house sitting service, I was nervous about leaving my dog and opening my home to someone I had just barely met. However, Mahle made this experience less stressful. We established a meet and greet a few days after I initially requested the days I needed a sitter for my dog. She responded promptly to my messages and showed up right on time. She was friendly, interacted and played with Koa as we discussed Koa's schedule and personality. When we were away, I did have to message her to see how everything was going and she responded quickly with updates of my dog and a picture. She was very respectful of my property and most importantly I came home to a happy dog. I feel more at ease using this Rover option and will definitely ask Mahle if she can sit for my dog in the future. Thank you, Mahle!!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“Natalie was fabulous! Asked great clarifying questions, took lovely care of my babies, and was a pleasure to just chat with. I highly recommend Natalie and will be using her services again!”
“Darra not only does a good job with Bronson, but she also is extremely respectful of our apartment. She cleans without us ever requesting, and it’s so nice to return home to a clean apartment after a trip. Would easily recommend Darra’s services to others.”
“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I work from home so this allows me to give a lot of time and care to your pup. I am happy to take your pup along with me on my multiple walks per day and play in the yard. My son and I take a lot of joy out of hosting dogs and have so much fun with our Rover guests! Please note the dogs in our pictures do not reside with us and will not be present in our home when we have puppy guests. We only host one guest at a time (unless it’s a family pair). We would love to host your pup if it is house trained, friendly to all humans and other dogs, and does not have any history of aggression, separation anxiety or destructive / behavioral issues as we would not be equipped to handle. Meet and greet prior to boarding is our request to ensure a great experience for all. Thank you in advance for your transparency on these requirements! I work from home and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.
“My first time having someone stay in my home with the pups and we couldn’t have chosen better. Sadie came for a few drop ins to meet the dogs and they took to her immediately. Sadie kept in constant communication with me and left the house as she found it. I was happy to see the pictures of very content pups.”
“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”
“Serena is the best! We lost our regular rover sitter and Serena understood the situation and stepped up right away. She set up a meeting time to meet Mystery and get to know her before staying here. We hit it off right away and I knew right away she would become our new favorite Rover girl! She took great care of Mystery and our home during Fourth of July. We are extremely grateful and hope she will let us bother her again for future sitting needs!”
“Nikki was amazing!! I have a small farm without a farm, haha. All five of my animals really liked her. Even the super shy one. Nikki sent pictures and daily updates. Highly recommend and will absolutely use her again!! Thank you!”
“Jen is absolutely incredible. She took care of my pup so well, he was sad to see her go! She sent texts and picture updates every day so I could see how things were going. And on top of all that, she also handled some household issues that came up while I was away. Jen is truly the kindest person and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Tessa was great with our boys while we were away. She communicated everything really well with us and sent us daily update pictures. Will definitely be using her again next time we are going out of town.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life , they truly bring me so much joy . I treat every dog like family and I get to know each dogs personality,routine and comfort needs. I am a part time college student with flexible hours! I am available Mornings,afternoons and evenings. I tend to walk my own dogs in the mornings! I offer a safe clean environment for pets at my home. I clean up after meals,potty time and play time,wash toys or bedding if needed
“Great experience all around, Sydney is a pro! She took great care of our quirky doodles and we appreciated regular photos and updates. It was a relief knowing that our dogs (and home) were in loving and caring hands while we were on vacation.”
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for the past 10 years now and it’s by far my favorite job I’ve had yet. I’ve recently moved to Pittsburgh and looking for new furry friends to love and take care of! I’m currently in school at CCAC part time taking away my Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Also working at Urban Outfitters as a part time associate taking away 8 hours of my weekends. Other than that whenever you need me, I’ll be watching and playing with your furry animal/s! Right now with the apartment complex I’m living in they don’t allow pets. So I can travel to your house to watch your pets and stay in your home!
About: Hi, I am Mamie (I have gone by Mamie since birth but am technically named Mary) and I have had dogs, cats, and many smaller critters throughout my life, and my own pets for over 25 years. My mother was a vet tech and I grew up rescuing many animals, and continued that tradition into adulthood, so I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations I work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area from about 7am-3pm mon-thursday, so will not be available in the home or for potty breaks during those hours. The absolute longest I would leave a pet during a house-sitting is 8 hours on those days. All other outings/errands would be less than four hours, tops, but usually only about an hour. I am comfortable with more or less any pet, from rodents to lizards and I am not squirmish about even the creepy crawlies and slithery noodles. I can and have given almost every kind of medication there is, including subcutaneous injections, and am comfortable doing so with care and compassion and confidence. I am just starting out with professional pet sitting on Rover, I did it years ago in Seattle as a side gig on my own with Craigslist posts, and have had a couple gigs on here so far. I am clean, responsible, and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, and you can get a feel for my vibe and professionalism at that time, but I am sure you will like me and feel comfortable having me in your home. As a housekeeper I am used to going into strangers homes and having a high level of integrity and care for their space and belongings. I also am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible, and will clean litter boxes daily and change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I work as a housekeeper from 7am-3pm mon-thursday around the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have multiple dogs who need round the clock supervision and you book me at least three weeks before the sitting start date, than we could work that out and I could block out my housekeeping schedule for that time and just be available for the sitting job (my rates will be increased in this situation as I am priced for my current availability, not constant care and being unable to make my normal wages during the sit). I don't do sitting in my own home since I have two cats and a husband and no fenced in yard. In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I will spend lots of time loving and socializing your pets, and I set alarms and try to keep potty breaks frequent to avoid accidents and less stress.
“Theresa is absolutely wonderful. I am a first time puppy mom and was a little worried to leave her alone but once I met Theresa, my worries melted away! You can tell right away that she loves animals and is so sweet, patient and gentle. She sent photos and videos throughout her visit, which I appreciated so much! I’m so relieved to have found her. If you need a sitter look no further! ♥️”
About: I will give complete care for your pets. I will dedicate myself to not just be a Walker but another guardian to your pet while you are away or unable to be home to care for them! I will take this job serious. I will walk,feed, and even wash if needed(only if supplies and where to wash them are available). I work with dogs and I'm on top of my responsibilities and I bond with animals easily. I will make sure your animals are well watched and cared for and I will play as much as possible to help improve the bond!! I ensure you I will be the best possible for you and your adorable pet I am available evenings after work so I have free time to be of assistance to you. It will be good for me as well to gain more knowledge and experience with different breeds. I can best care for your pet in your home by following routines and rules you have set in place. I think it helps them to have an environment they are used to and comfortable in .

Mary S.
“I'm delighted to recommend Mary S. as a pet sitter on Rover. Having watched her grow up caring for our multiple cats and dog, plus numerous foster animals, I can confidently say she has a natural gift with animals. Mary genuinely "speaks cat" - she understands their unique personalities and body language, treating each one as an individual. She's particularly attuned to pets experiencing anxiety or depression, knowing exactly how to comfort them and meet them where they're at. What sets Mary apart is her medical knowledge and experience. Growing up in a veterinary household, she learned to administer subcutaneous fluids, manage diabetic pets with insulin injections, and recognize when a pet needs professional care. She combines this technical expertise with genuine warmth - during playtime, she gets down on their level and makes every pet feel special. Dogs adore her just as much as cats do. She's safety-conscious, responsible, and has that rare quality of making animals feel instantly comfortable. Mary is completely reliable - she won't skip anything in your pet's routine - and she's great about keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs specialized medical care or just lots of love and attention, Mary will treat them like family. She's exactly the kind of person I'd trust with my own pets. Eileen A. M.S.

Wind Gap pet parents share their Rover experiences
Molly looked after Watson at our house for a week and we couldn’t be happier. The house was well cared for and clean when we got home and Watson was happy and full of energy. We got lots of pictures and communication was super easy. Would happily recommend Molly to others!
We had a great experience with Taylor! She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was clear and consistent. She was also very respectful of our home—we came back to everything just as we left it. So happy to find another great sitter in the area!
Courtney was amazing! Highest marks all around! It’s a great feeling to be able to go away and know that your pups are in great hands! She’s super attentive and responsive and provided tons of updates and pics? Came home to happy pups and no issues! Couldn’t be happier!
Tami was absolutely fantastic! She took exceptional care of both our senior dog and our home while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind.
