About: My childhood dog, Daisy, a Yorkie mix that I had for 17 years, was my best friend. As a child, I trained her, and as an adult, I had to make adjustments to her environment when her mobility, sight, and hearing became limited. That relationship instilled in me a lifelong love of dogs. I work full-time in development with a local nonprofit, but I have a flexible schedule that includes 2 remote days a week and free weekend availability. ***Please see my availability below before sending a booking request! Not seeing a date on my calendar or location range that works for you? Feel free to reach out, as I can update my calendar and travel distance if needed! Availability: Sunday - All day Monday - All day Tuesday - 6pm-10pm Wednesday 6pm-10pm Thursday - All day Friday 6pm-10pm Saturday - All day As a lifelong Pittsburgh resident and a Mt. Lebanon local for 7 years, I have extensive knowledge of dog-friendly areas and walking trails to support active dogs. As for senior dogs, I can also cater to their needs with less strenuous activities and one-on-one socialization at their own pace and comfort level. I also have personal pet sitter’s insurance, so you can book my services knowing that your pet will be in good hands.
About: I'll be just as excited to see them everytime as they are to see me. I love taking the time to get to know their individual personalities and quirks. Their tails wags bring smiles to my face. I've always had at least one dog of all sizes in my house growing up from little schnauaser and jack russell to a big coon hound. I know that some dogs can be a little more challenging than others but that doesn't deter me from trying to be their friend. I have the patience and intuition to read a dogs body language and am willing to give them their time and space to warm up to me. Because I am self employed and work from home, I am in charge of my schedule. I have flexibility and will try my best to be accommodating. When I am with your pet, they are my number one priority. They will receive the attention they want with their safety in mind above all else.
“Maria was fabulous. She was consistent and kind and Kev fell in love with her. She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily feedback on his walks. We will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Jackie, comes everyday to spend time with and take wonderful care of my zoo. She takes my dog for daily walks, sends amazing pictures of everyone and makes sure everyone has what they need. She goes above and beyond just a dog walk. I truly appreciate her so much. And so do all of my fur babies.”
About: As a lifetime lover of all friends furry and fluffy, I’m passionate about giving cats and dogs all the joy and love they can possibly get! I have a 2 year old “free range” holland lop bunny who loves to keep me on my toes! I have many years experience with a variety of pets, particularly rabbits and dogs, and would be thrilled to be another human playing a role in helping to take care of yours! I do work full time, however I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule that allows for some daytime walks and well deserved treats for your furry loved ones! Whatever your pets’ routines—from feeding and refreshing water, to scooping litter boxes or going for walks, as well as all the playtime and cuddles in between—I am here to ensure they are well cared for and feeling the love. Your pets are your family and caring for them is just as important to me as caring for my own!
About: I have taken care of my dogs for about 12 years. I love all dogs big and small, long and short haired. I go on walks everyday and keep active. My favorite thing is to cuddle up with a dog after a long day. I can work 3-4 days a week during the day, and I am able to work all nights. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I can accommodate to others. I have an electric fence at my house, and a very well trained dog. I can listen to any and all rules at other clients’ houses. I give pets lots of love and activity. I feed and walk my dog twice a day. I clean up after him whenever it is needed. I wash him every month.
About: I've had cats for over 20 years, all of my adult life. I'm an expert at giving medications. I've also owned small and medium sized dogs. I subscribe to positive reinforcement training. I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed. I live in the heart of Dormont. Have experience with cats and small/medium dogs. I drive so no issues with transportation. My availability is open! I prefer to watch your pet(s) in your home. If you leave me a schedule, including food, treats, play, and walk times, I will stick to that precisely. I feel that pets not only need a routine, but they do much better in their own environment. If there's an emergency, I will be able to bring them to my home. Obviously communication will be key, and this is only for extenuating circumstances (if I feel they are unsafe due to unforeseen situations). My goal is to continue their established routine, so when you come home, there will be a smooth transition.
“Great communication! My dog loved her! And my pup is a bit much-high energy, jumpy, Barry. That did not phase Krista one bit. So I knew my dog was in good hands. Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have a dog of my own who I care for and have trained, along with the dogs I’ve grown up with. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will treat your pup like my own and provide them with the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I’m a registered nurse and typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability on my days off. While my schedule can vary slightly from week to week, I try to keep consistent shifts whenever possible. I typically have availability both during the week and on weekends. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to your pets, so I’m happy to work with you to coordinate a schedule that best fits you and your pet’s needs! I have a friendly dog of my own and live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of outdoor space for walks, exercise, and playtime, including an on-site dog park. Although I don’t have a fenced-in yard, there are plenty of areas for your pup to get outside, burn off energy, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a crate available if needed, and my own dog is crate-trained and comfortable being crated. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes! My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, whether that means maintaining their usual feeding schedule, providing plenty of walks and playtime, administering extra attention, or giving them a little extra time to adjust to a new environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Your pet will always be treated like family!
About: I adore dogs but have never gotten to care for one of my own! I have looked after family and friends’ dogs and would love to meet your pup too♥️ I work remotely with lots of flexibility! If you need overnight care or prefer someone is there during the day I can easily work remotely from other places. For overnights I would need to stay at the clients’ home, as I have cats of my own. I would be happy to also be there during the day, as needed.
About: I’ve owned dogs for 30 years, including an English Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I have firsthand experience caring for medically complex, high-maintenance dogs and understand the patience, attention, and consistency they need. After recently losing my Frenchie, I miss being around dogs, but I am not ready to own another one yet. I’d give your dog dependable, attentive care while enjoying their company. I’m retired, so my schedule is flexible. I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they need. Pet care will easily fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m also available during weekdays, when many pet owners are at work. In my home, dogs are family and welcome throughout the house. We have a securely fenced yard and a gated porch for safe outdoor time. I can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, or they are welcome to sleep in a bed if preferred.
“Our pup was chill when we returned home; relaxed from his long walk in the cold. Carly took him on a nice long walk and he is now, a few hours later, happily napping on my lap. Carly must have kept him moving since they did almost 2 miles! And he loves to sniff, so that’s impressive! Thanks for giving him a healthy diversion while we were out.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, providing pet care and sitting services to friends, neighbors and family. I'm the person who will immediately try to help if I find an unattended dog and make every effort to reunite the good boy or girl with their family. I'm currently between careers and looking to earn some extra money doing something I've always loved as I train for the next phase of my life. I've learned from my own dogs that consistency and routine are essential to helping them feel safe and regulated. I'll make every effort to follow your dog's usual routine and rituals to keep them feeling loved until your return.
About: I have always grown up with dogs. We usually had 3 large dogs at all times in my house. I have now lived on my own for 4 years taking care of my dog, Cash. He is the absolute joy of my life. I enjoy walking and being active. I can’t wait to meet your pet and shower them with love and exercise! I have a very flexible schedule where I work from home most days so I am more than able to make time for your pet! I have a fenced in yard and a dog myself who is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I also have 2 dog parks within a short walk from where I live. I also enjoy going for walks in my very safe neighborhood!
About: I currently have two dogs of my own and have been around dogs my whole life! I also have boarded foster dogs in my own home I currently have open availability as I am doing this full time! I have two girls of my own so I make sure my schedule works for everyone! I have a back yard that is big enough to run around in! There is also a couple of park in close proximity to where I live!
About: Hi I’m Allyson! I love all kinds of animals, I’ve taken care of every kind ever since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while I have fun doing it! Every pet I meet has a special place in my heart ♥️ My schedule is flexible right now which gives me more time to pickup a side work to take care of your lovely pets! :) 🐾 I have a quiet home with one cat at our friendly neighborhood. I’ll always keep an eye and care for your pet when I visit/walk/feed them.
About: I provide personalized care for every pet experienced with puppy training routines and gentle senior care, including medications and extra attention. As well as my overall love for animals. Between my two dogs, part-time gym work, and online training clients, I live an active, structured lifestyle that fits perfectly with flexible and reliable pet care. I’m based in Pittsburgh with access to great dog parks and walking trails, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air, playtime, and attention while they’re with me

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dormont
We had a great experience with Mamie caring for Spade! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive to his needs, made sure he got his medication on time every day, and kept him active so he could burn off energy. We really appreciated how well she handled his quirks and made sure he was well cared for. Mamie was friendly, reassuring, and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog!
Jackie, comes everyday to spend time with and take wonderful care of my zoo. She takes my dog for daily walks, sends amazing pictures of everyone and makes sure everyone has what they need. She goes above and beyond just a dog walk. I truly appreciate her so much. And so do all of my fur babies.
Katherine saved my trip to Pittsburgh when my dog sitter canceled at the last minute. She was a total doll to work with and my dog loved her! She responds very quickly and is very accommodating! I wish I lived in the area, I’d definitely be reaching out to you again! Thank you again for everything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Dormont is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 2,443 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dormont. 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 Dormont. 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 Dormont 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 Dormont. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
