About: I’m 26 years old, currently work full time as a nanny! I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my whole life & recently had to put my dog down due to kidney failure. I believe pets brings so much joy into our lives so coming home to a furry friend my favorite! I love taking dogs out for walks, playing in the backyard or whatever your dog’s favorite activity is! I’ve taken dogs to daycare, or come to let them out at the house mid day for a potty break! We can discuss this more in depth though:) I am very comfortable with walking dogs, crating dogs during the day or night if requested by owner. And have no problem with a fenced yard for just needing a leash every time.

About: I've watched several neighbors pets when they left out of town and they've relied on me countless times again. Also, if your animal is stressed I will stay with them as long as you approve. Animals are a way of my life. I've had so many growing up. I am working full time in Moon but I can stop and check or walk animals after 4:30pm and any time on weekends. If you prefere someone to stay we can arrange my schedule to work for that just give me plenty of notice. I live in millvale there are parks all around and I'm close to many other safe parks in shaler. I live with my mom and sister and they're big pet people.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, so I love taking care of them. I have had puppies in the household as well as older ones as well. I have walked, cared, fed, and bathed pets before so I do not mind. Seeing a dog always brighten ups my day! I am currently a student-athlete at college so my schedule can be a little weird sometimes. I’m free in the early mornings, around lunch time, and later in the evening! On the weekends I am free all day. I will always take them on a walk, however long that may be. I will care and give them love, as well as feed and play with them!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of 15+ years of hands-on experience with animals and my genuine passion for providing exceptional, personalized care. Caring for pets has always been something I love, and I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, grooming, puppy care, senior pet care, and providing extra patience and attention when animals need it most. I understand that puppies need consistency, positive reinforcement, exercise, and guidance as they learn, while senior pets often require a gentler approach, extra comfort, and attention to changes in their needs. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their individual personalities—whether they are playful and social or more independent and reserved. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience providing drop-in care for farm animals, including chickens and goats. Farm visits can include feeding, providing and refreshing water, putting out hay, collecting eggs, and making sure each animal is safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their normal routine. I understand that farm animals have their own routines and care requirements, and I am comfortable taking the time needed to make sure everything is done properly. My goal is to provide more than just basic care. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and enriching experience for every animal while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication, updates, and personalized attention. Whether I’m caring for a beloved family dog, a shy cat, or a small farm full of animals, I treat every animal with the same level of patience, respect, and care I would want for my own. I feel honored to be trusted with someone’s furry, feathered, or four-legged family members and look forward to providing them with dependable, loving care while you’re away. I am currently dedicating my full-time focus to growing my animal care business, which allows me to provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care for my clients’ pets. Because pet care is my primary commitment, I’m able to give each animal the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My daily routine revolves around creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment activities, grooming needs, or simply providing companionship while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take pride in being dependable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible, dependable pet care options designed to keep your furry family member happy, comfortable, and well cared for in the environment where they feel most at ease. I provide in-home visits, dog walking, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats, with care tailored to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether your pet needs daily exercise, companionship, feeding routines, medication reminders, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the level of care that works best for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and loved. I also offer pet grooming services, including basic grooming care to help your pet look and feel their best. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my entire life, along with horses, reptiles, and birds. I spent several years working for a pet care business, worked in customer care for a holistic pet store, have house-sat through Rover, and have boarded animals for friends. I recently lived with 3 German Shepherds, a Husky, and a two cats. I can handle animals of all energy levels. I am always taking care of animals! I have a dog of my own and often look after my friends’ and family’s pets. I have a flexible schedule so I always try to be there when people need me. Always cautious, ready to respect what an animal expects and needs, and more than happy to give them all the love and play, play, play

About: Hi there! 😊 Please read my full bio for a few important details before sending a request. Whether it’s a one-time visit or recurring stays, I’m here to give your pup plenty of love and send you cute updates along the way (in fact, we LOVE having pet photoshoots here if you haven't already been able to tell by my pictures). Their unique quirks always keep our household laughing. As a pet mama myself, I know firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable and have *complete peace of mind* when you're away. We'll treat yours like family, I promise — baby talking to them and all. ❤️ Our youngest kids are 11 and 13. They've grown up pet sitting with me, are very mature around animals, and absolutely love them! (My son, especially, is a major dog whisperer!). We welcome clients from all over Pittsburgh. My husband and I also offer pickup and drop-off options for an additional fee, if needed. Our home is located in the Leechburg area. Feel free to message me, and we can chat about the details! Looking forward to hearing from you! 🐶 Routine: I work from home so I am always here and available to care for him/her. They will be very well loved! We especially enjoy going for walks and playing in the yard. As I mentioned, I'll keep you updated throughout the stay with photos, and other updates. If I'm unsure about anything, I will absolutely reach out and ask you!

Strip District, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: I have 5+ (and counting) years of dog experience working at a well known doggy daycare and boarding facility in Pittsburgh! Outside of work, I am the go to pet sitter for all of my friends and family members. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and varying medical needs. My work schedule is flexible, so between my schedule and my husband's, your pup should never be on their own for more than five or six hours at a time. My husband and I live in a duplex unit in central Lawrenceville with a fenced in back patio area. We are right down the hill from Arsenal Park, which is a great spot for walks! In your home, you can trust me to stick to business and ensure that your pup is receiving quality care in the comfort of their own home. Every dog is different, and I am more than willing to accommodate each and every one!

About: 🐶 Having been surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for their care. Growing up with dogs and raising my own, Harlow 🐾, from a puppy, has given me firsthand experience in fostering their well-being. My passion for animals extends beyond personal experience—participation in clubs at the Pittsburgh Zoo 🦁 provided me with valuable insights into animal behavior and care, further enhancing my knowledge. Being from Pittsburgh, I am fluent with many resources for me to enjoy with pets. 🐕‍🦺 My pet care journey started in 2014 with my first job at a dog care store on Butler Street, where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. During my internship with the Water Authority in Bradford, PA, I dedicated my lunch breaks to volunteering at the local SPCA 🏠, offering love and attention to animals in need. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated, knowledgeable, and empathetic sitter. 💛 As an alumni M.S. engineering student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for my pets. I can easily fit dog walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine, ensuring each pet gets the attention it deserves. My love for animals and adaptable schedule make it easy to prioritize their well-being. During 2025 i cared for two dogs, my mother's and her boyfriend's, and have hands-on experience managing their daily needs. At home, I ensure a safe environment with our fenced-in yard and always prioritize the pets' well-being. For my clients' pets, I’m adaptable to their specific routines, whether that involves feeding, walks, playtime, or creating a comfortable space. Every pet in my care receives love and attention tailored to their unique needs.

About: I grew up around animals—my family owned a pet store, and my grandparents ran a dog grooming business, so animal care has always been a big part of my life. I’m especially experienced with greyhounds and whippets, and I’ve spent a lot of time caring for beagles, German shorthaired pointers, German shepherds, and French bulldogs. I also have hands-on experience with exotic birds, as my family used to rescue them. I have been pet sitting full time for around a year, while I work from my computer. I have a social media marketing business that's pretty flexible. I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, and any training cues. I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially with dogs who are anxious, reactive, or still adjusting. I’m respectful of your home and always leave it clean and tidy. I secure doors and gates, double-check leashes and harnesses before walks, and make sure your pet is safe before leaving. I provide regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll contact you right away and follow your instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and currently have four dogs of my own, ranging from giant breeds to my small Corgi, Zeek. Having a variety of dogs has given me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors who need extra patience and attention. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I gained experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and learned the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm companion, I will treat them like one of my own and provide plenty of love, attention, and updates throughout their stay. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, attention, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, patience, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering medications, and accommodating any special needs or routines. I provide a clean, loving, and stress-free environment and will keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: Dog owner since 1970. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front, and one in back, with a gate in between if needed. Dogs love me and I love them. ❤️ I have an older service dog as well, and am able to help train a dog if needed. I'm semi-retired, so it's rare that your dog would be left alone at all, but if you're dog enjoys being left alone, that's always an option as well. Communication is the key.... feeding times, special needs, etc. I have everything needed to pet sit. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front and one in back with a gate in between. My home has whole house ac and vinyl flooring. I have 3 dogs to keep your dog company, or those two seperate fenced yards if requested or needed. I also have crates for dogs that enjoy that den feeling.

Our home has two friendly cats, our own dog, and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. The yard is always used on a lead. I will treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!

Abigail is great! Our young Chihuahua (also named Abigail) is very leery of new people. Abigail took the time to get to know her and build trust. To us that is priceless. Our dog also has Addison's disease, and it is comforting to know Abigail is a nurse and comfortable giving her needed daily meds. We highly recommend her even if it means sharing her with others. You won't regret choosing her to care for your beloved pets.

Marissa was amazing with my Pup Splash. He can be a nervous boy and she was very patient with him and he warmed up to her in no time. He is also deaf and Marissa took the time to learn his signs so that she could communicate with him. I felt very confident with Marissa caring for Splash and will definitely be hiring her again!!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Allison Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Allison Park is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,523 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Allison Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Allison Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Allison Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allison Park. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
