About: I do work full-time, but am home in the evenings. I LOVE animals, but do not feel that I have the time needed to be a 'full time' caregiver. This is perfect for my lifestyle! I would treat your pet like a part of my family. I've always had dogs growing up and love having them as companions. I would walk your pet in the mornings and evenings. Looking forward to meeting you and your special pet!! I can accommodate special requests and am happy to answer any questions that you might have. References are available upon request. Thank you for reading my profile. I currently work full time, but would love to come and stay with your pet to provide day and nighttime companionship. I would adhere to the schedule for your pet and would not adjust (no people food, etc). I would let your fur babies out in the morning, again at lunch time, and would be at your residence for the rest of the day and night, starting at 4:30pm on workdays, and all day and night on the weekends. I would care for your pets as if they were my own. I take pet sitting very seriously and want to be the person that you could depend on to look after your fur family.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all of my childhood. I just started this as a side hustle, and I absolutely love it! I love meeting new pups and being a helping hand to somebody as well! I work a full time job outside of pet sitting. I work 6-8 hour shifts Friday-Monday, and my off days are Tuesday-Thursday. My schedule is very flexible, so if there are any issues with my work schedule, it can be moved around. I’m typically gone between 6-8 hours depending on travel time as well. I stay at the client’s house so that way their pets are comfortable in their own home and environment. I do an initial meet and greet before the date needed to pet sit so the pets meet me and recognize me while i’m staying with them.

About: Hi, I’m Erika! I’m a stay-at-home mom of two with approximately 18 years of hands-on animal care experience and a genuine love for everything this work entails. I began working with animals at 16 and have built a professional background in veterinary medicine, emergency animal care, wildlife management, and zoological settings. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and zookeeper, with experience at Waynesburg Animal Hospital, Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center, Nemacolin’s Wildlife Academy, and the Pittsburgh Zoo. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m experienced with medication administration, senior and special-needs animals, behavioral challenges, and recognizing the subtle cues animals use to communicate. I’m comfortable with energetic working breeds, timid or reactive dogs, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and understanding. Animals have always been a tremendous part of my life. I genuinely enjoy learning their personalities, understanding their individual needs, and making their time in my care as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I’m currently offering dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. My goal is simple: to provide knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom of two, I have the flexibility to dedicate my days to something I’ve always loved: caring for animals! I’m generally available between 7 AM and 6 PM for dog walking and drop-in visits, including regularly scheduled care and occasional visits. My children, ages four years and seven months, typically accompany me. I’ve been incorporating my children into my pet-care routine since my daughter was a year old. Of course, I understand that not every pet is comfortable around children, and I have dependable childcare available whenever a visit is better suited to being handled independently. I’m happy to discuss your scheduling needs and do my best to accommodate your pet’s established routine. With nearly 18 years of experience in veterinary medicine, emergency animal care, and zoological settings, animal safety and well-being have always been central to my work. I take the time to understand each animal’s temperament, body language, medical needs, and established routine before providing care. I’m comfortable working with senior pets, animals requiring medication, and those who may be nervous, reactive, or need a more patient approach. During visits, I respect your home and follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household boundaries. Walks are conducted with appropriate leash and handling practices, and I never introduce unfamiliar animals or environments without discussing them with you first. My children may accompany me with your knowledge and approval, but they are not responsible for handling or supervising your pet. Independent visits are always an option when appropriate. I believe trust is earned through responsible care, clear communication, and genuine respect for each animal’s individual needs.

About: Experience & Background: ​Hands-On Fostering & Rescue Experience. My understanding of canine behavior comes from my experience as a dog foster. Fostering taught me how to support dogs of all personalities—from rescue pups adjusting to new environments, to high-energy dogs needing structured outlets, to timid pets requiring extra patience and gentle encouragement. Fostering trained me to read subtle dog body language, manage different temperaments safely, and strictly follow customized care plans, feeding schedules, and medication routines. Yes, I can give insulin if needed. ​Safety-First Approach & Dog Handling: Your dog’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. In addition to my rescue experience, I practice strict safety protocols during every visit and walk: ​Leash & Gear Awareness: Double-checking harnesses, collars, and leashes before every walk to prevent escapes or gear failures. My well maintained fenced yard has ample amount of room to catch some sunlight and run and play. ​Proactive Walking Habits: Maintaining full environmental awareness on walks—avoiding unwanted off-leash dog encounters, staying clear of busy street hazards, and pacing walks to match your dog's fitness level and the weather. ​Routine & Structure: Following your home rules and training cues consistently so your dog maintains their normal routine without unnecessary stress. ​Tailored Care for Every Stage of Life Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk, structured mental enrichment and playtime, or gentle companionship for a senior pet, I adapt my care to their exact physical and emotional needs. You can expect detailed updates and photos after every visit, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for. I currently work overnights and have all day availability. I can provide last minute drop ins, 30+60 minute outdoor walks and high energy runs in the rain, snow or shine. Hi, I’m Ryan! Whether you need active daily walks, structured drop-in visits, or attentiveness while you’re away, my goal is to give your dog a safe, fun, and fulfilling experience—and give you complete peace of mind. - High-Attention & Structured Care: I understand that every dog has different needs—from high-energy breeds that need solid physical exercise to timid pups that require patience and gentle encouragement. - Safety & Reliability First: I practice proper leash etiquette, maintain total awareness on walks, and follow your home and feeding routines to the letter. - Clear & Consistent Updates: You will receive daily updates with photos and videos as well as details on feeding, bathroom breaks, and activities after every visit or walk. - Dog Walking: Tailored to your pup's energy level, whether that means a fast-paced fitness walk or a leisurely one. I handle leash manners with care and always double-check secure gear before heading out. - Drop-In Visits & Sitting: Includes fresh water, scheduled meals, playtime/enrichment, mental stimulation, and any medication administration your pet requires. - Daily Routine: I stick strictly to the house rules you’ve established so your dog stays on their normal, comfortable schedule. - I am comfortable managing specific feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and special care instructions.

About: I have been taking care of my friends miniature american bulldog named Yoshi for around a month at a time for the past year whenever she allows me to take him because he is so sweet and I have the time to train and walk him. I also have a bike path right behind my house so Yoshi enjoys his walks and seeing people that can give him scratches and belly rubs. I have 2 Guinea pigs that stay caged and don’t enjoy any fun activities with me so I enjoy the excitement of a dog I work from home, I have a skin care business making natural soaps so I am always home and available to go on routines walks. I’m also a mason and teaching myself carpentry and the goal is to build luxury dog homes so if you’re happy to have your dog be a model for my dog homes then it will be greatly appreciated and I will make a fun activity out of it for us. I also keep a large box of milk bones for good doggies. I prefer to spend as much time possible doing whatever your furry bestie enjoys that makes them temporarily not miss you but I do have a small back yard with an in ground leash and easy access to look out my window and watch if there’s any dogs who enjoy sitting outside for long periods of time, otherwise there’s lots of attention given and plenty of fun walks. Yoshi also loves car rides if that’s something your pet also enjoys and we’re going to start being regulars at the dog park since everyone loves him there and he loves everyone right back. So if your dog has never experienced a dog park yoshi will gladly assist in making him or her comfortable

About: Hi there! I’m Jae☺️, a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker. With a deep appreciation for all breeds, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience for your furry friends. I prioritize their well-being and happiness during our walks, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they need. Having worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park or an energetic romp, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s preferences. I’m also committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos during our adventures together. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members and give them the care and attention they deserve! Let’s make every walk a tail-wagging good time! I’m currently in college so this schedule goes great with my classes. Sometimes my classes get canceled and I can dog sit early or take walks early. I have a dog playground in my neighborhood. I also have plenty of space inside to play and run around. I promise to make this a great experience.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Alverton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,545 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Alverton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Alverton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Alverton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alverton. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
