“David was absolutely great! He walked both of my dogs for a week for an hour each day. He sent the best pictures and videos. My dogs loved him will be using him in the future!”

About: I have had dogs in my household since I was a baby. I moved to pittsburgh in 2021, and before that was living with my parents who had four dogs! Right now, I have 3 cats. I love to dogsit and spend time with other people's babies! I have experience in dog sitting, and have spent some time working in dog daycare/boarding. I am currently not working a typical job so I am available 7 days a week most weeks and can spend all of my time with your pet if needed! I am dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy by keeping a close eye on them and making sure that they are loved and cared for.
About: Hi! I would love any experience and I love all animals. I also have a very flexible schedule! I would love to help anyone I can! I can help out most days of the week. Mostly mornings or afternoons, but working during the day on the weekends works perfectly for me! I love all animals and treat any I meet like my own! I would not mind having to respectfully visit client’s homes if that is needed!

About: Hi! I’m Dani — I have several years of experience caring for pets and love working with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve helped with dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, and giving lots of attention and playtime. I’m especially reliable, communicative, and patient, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m available for drop-ins and walks and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I also have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate last-minute needs and consistent routines. I’d love to meet your pet! I have three dogs of my own, including one with special needs, so I’m confident working with puppies to senior dogs. I have experience giving medication. I’m presently in school and only taking one class over the summer. I ensure that I keep my availability updated for potential clients. In the summer of 2026, I have no availability on Thursdays. I’m happy to do a meet and greet prior to developing our walking relationship. I’m comfortable providing medication and happy to follow any directions for pet care that are necessary.
“Yasmeen is just the sweetest and truly cares about animals. She was so patient with my skiddish pup and did her best to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable with her. I'd highly recommend!”

About: I have the energy of a terrier and the heart of a golden retriever. Experienced dog owner. Comfortable with senior pets, administering medication, and caring for mulitiple dogs at the same time. Your pup will get the care they deserve, from cuddles on the couch to fun romps around the park. My part time AM job leaves plenty of time for your pup. Available afternoons, evenings, and overnights. Mon-Fri and anytime on the weekends. Available daily or as needed. Minimize your pet's stress while you are away by providing a caring sitter in your own home. I am happy to take your dog to any special parks or playgrounds, stick to their usual routine, and provide extra pampering while you are away.
“We hired Justin to walk our dog Cooper for a few consecutive days while we were away. He was great throughout, coming to meet Cooper before their first walk and providing great feedback and details for each walk. I would definitely suggest him!”


About: I’m one of those people who will remember your dog’s name long before I remember yours (apologies in advance). I’ve had dogs for much of my life, including my Golden Retriever and a Lab (who passed over the Rainbow Bridge due to old age). Still grieving those losses, we foster dogs through Bark About It Rescue, which include long-term fosters who lived with my family for months at a time. All that being said, I’m very familiar with the walks, the zoomies, the stubborn streaks, the mysterious things that absolutely MUST be sniffed, that treats and scritchy-scratches are life, and the fact that every dog comes with their own personality and quirks. I’m an equal-opportunity dog lover — from little cuties with attitude to big, goofy pitties and everything in between. I’m comfortable with energetic walkers, rescue pups, and dogs who are shy, cautious, or need a little extra time to warm up. I don’t expect your dog to immediately love me. I’m happy to earn it. I also take the responsibility seriously. You’re trusting me with a member of your family — and, in many cases, your home. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your dog’s routine, keep you updated, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention while they’re with me. And yes, there will be photos. Lots of photos. I work full-time in nonprofit comms so photos are just what I do. Whether we’re getting some serious miles in or your dog’s idea of a “walk” is spending 20 minutes investigating three mailboxes, I’m happy to follow their lead. You handle the schedule. I’ll handle the walks, belly rubs, poop bags, and photographic evidence that your dog had *the best* dog day. I work from home two days a week and am home on weekends, making Thursday through Sunday (with some additional flexibility) my best days to connect with your pup during the morning, afternoon, or evening hours. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their surroundings and body language, and respect your home and routine. And please tell me all their quirks and favorites!

About: I have been an animal lover since as long as I can remember, albeit, my favorite animal is a dolphin, my love for cats and dogs runs deep. Currently, I work part-time so I will have lots of availability to play and care for your fur babies. I am available for boarding on weekends and other services on weekdays. Since I will be in your home caring for your fur babies, I’m sure I will have all I need to keep them well taken care of :)
“Gary has been friendly and easy-going. Will definitely book again. I appreciate the attention to detail he gives each of the dogs and their walking/feeding habits. Thanks very much!”

About: As a seasoned animal enthusiast, I am currently seeking additional income opportunities following a recent job transition. With a flexible schedule, I am eager to spend quality time with your beloved furry companions. I have over 20 years of experience with dogs, as well as a comfort level around cats, bunnies, and other cuddly creatures, I am well-equipped to cater to the needs of your entire animal family. Feel free to browse through my extensive collection of Rover photos, proving that I've truly never met a pup I didn't like! Don't hesitate to book with me; I am excited at the prospect of spending time and showering affection on your precious furry family members! I am currently in the midst of a job transition so have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends, whether it's a walk, cuddles on the couch, a run in the dog park, I'm happy to help! Whatever the request may be, I am happy to accommodate. At this time, I'm not offering in house boarding, but I can drop into your home for as long as necessary and provide whatever services requested for your fur babes.
“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, playing, bathing, walking, and even training young dogs with simple things. I was able to gain experience taking care of dogs because I have a dog of my own who is now a senior. I’m also a dog walker at my local animal shelter which allows me to interact with dogs of all ages and different behaviors. Aside from dogs, I also have experience feeding and playing with cats. I have two cats who are friendly, love cuddles, neck scratches, and are amazing with my dog! I’m a college student who commutes to school. I have more flexibility during breaks but throughout the school year weekends are what would work best. I have experience with both cats and dogs. This has allowed me to work with animals that have different behaviors. I believe that animals require patience and love just like any other being. If needed, your pet will be in good hands in my home since my cats and dog get along very well.
“Olivia is a fantastic dog walker, my old boy won't go for a walk with anyone but me including his other owner but Olivia can get him up and going without much of a problem. Her patience with him is admirable.”

About: I have twenty three years in pet care, raising a litter of cats, rescued dogs from unhealthy living situations, raising a puppy from three months old to the age of fifteen years old. Administering medication, and shots for diabetic dogs, ear cleaning, nail trimming, bathing, walking, feeding, car rides to the park or pay dates also veterinary visits. I adore dogs and cats, their unconditional love to everyone you can learn a lot from animals if you pay attention 😊 I have a passion for animal welfare and assisting in any way possible. Fur babies are a member of the family and I will treat each and every one I encounter with kindness and unconditional love as they show us, Your dog or cat is in good hands with me.
“Heather does an amazing job with my 2 pups!! She makes sure they have on their coats or harnesses depending on the cold temps. My pups enjoy the long walks with her and being able to sniff at their own pace!! The pups get so excited to see her! Definitely would recommend Heather to take care of your pets!!”

Daniel was absolutely incredible in every way. We hate leaving our dog Wilson behind, but it makes it less painful when we have such a responsible, communicative, kind, and reliable person like Daniel to walk him while we are gone! We got detailed updates, lots of pictures, and most importantly Wilson looked extremely happy to be with Daniel every day this week. I would highly recommend Daniel and we will definitely see him again soon!!!

Casey is an incredible and extremely caring person. She was amazing with Goose and it brought us so much joy to read her recaps and see the photos of him after every walk. She is extremely trustworthy and I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup! ♥️

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 your Forest Hills. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
