About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.

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!

“Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!”

About: I’ve had cats now for about 5 years! 4 of my own (ages 4, 4, 4, and 8), and they are absolutely the loves of my life!! I do also have experience with administering oral and eye medications for cats! My experience with dogs isn’t quite as extensive but just as thorough!! I have experience with walking and feeding!! I currently work full-time as a registered nurse, doing rotating (days and nights) 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, so I typically have quite a bit of availability and a pretty flexible schedule!! I am currently available for drop-in visits to ensure your pet has all the care they need! I will also provide pictures and updates :) My cats get fed twice a day and have plenty of toys and scratch posts! I also have an abundance of treats for them to snack on!!

About: I have taken care of/owned dogs for 15 years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, as well as various breeds. I love animals of all kinds! I have also owned and cared for cats, reptiles, and small critters like guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and rabbits! We recently had to put our dog down due to illness, so I want to help other dog owners take care of their furry family members! I am a therapist and work a part-time, flexible schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening drop-ins throughout the work week as well as weekends! In my home, I have a yard with a runner or can take your dog out on their leash if you prefer. We have one story so minimal steps involved for older pups. In your home, I will ensure that I keep your animals safe within the environment provided. I will remain with the animal for the entirety of my time with them, and let you know immediately if I recognize any concerns for their safety.

About: I've loved and cared for cats since I was 11, and my experience includes caring for cats with chronic and terminal illnesses. I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and medical needs. I've also fostered and boarded cats and dogs of all ages, giving me experience helping animals feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I'm comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications, and I understand the importance of following care instructions closely. Whether your pet is a playful kitten, a senior companion, or an animal who needs extra medical attention, I'll approach their care with compassion, respect, and the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is my full time occupation. I have nothing but time and love for your furry friends, and I will happily treat them as my own. I tailor my care to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize a safe, calm environment, consistent routines, plenty of affection, and attentive supervision. I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and household routines, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, dog walks, and companionship for pets of different ages and activity levels. If it's a 2 mile walk through Schenley Park, a short jaunt around a familiar fire hydrant, or a quick trip from bed to the couch — I'm here for it all! I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with chronic or terminal illnesses, as well as administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications when prescribed. Having fostered cats and dogs of various ages, I'm comfortable helping animals settle into unfamiliar environments at their own pace. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide thoughtful, reliable care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease while they're apart.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, both breeder and rescue! I understand the patience, love, and discipline all dogs need, and am ready to give them my all when in my care! My schedule is flexible if there’s two weeks notice. I work on a daily/weekly schedule in the restaurant and film industry, so if I have aforementioned advanced notice I can plan to be home for as long as needed for a pup! While I have no yard of my own, I am near Mellon Park and a couple blocks away from family that will allow me to use their fenced-in backyard as needed! All of my friends and family are dog lovers, so if anyone visits my apartment, your dog will be double cuddled and spoiled and loved (Note: I will be the primary caregiver, I will not cede care of your pet to anyone else while working. I will always be present)! I have plenty of healthy treats as well, and if no specific bed is provided for a lodging stay, I’m willing to buy one myself. Dogs are allowed on couches/chairs with some blankets I already have, and I will put their bed next to me in my room during the night. I love taking walks around the neighborhood and enjoying food, and obviously would have some eager canine company to join me!

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!

I am able to accommodate any of your safety needs whether it be separating animals into their own areas or keeping an eye on a pup that is a little sneaky!

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both drop in and overnight visits, for two years now. I’ve dealt with small and large dogs and know how to handle them. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in one house and know the different needs each dog requires! I am currently on break for summer from college so I am available anytime throughout the week and weekends. If you are booking day of please be aware I may have other arrangements but for the most part I should be free. Any rules and information I need are required before I enter the home. And for non emergency appointments a meeting with the dog and you present is preferred.

About: I’m from LA, where I worked for a dog hiking service where we started each morning with a group hike, came back home for daycare, and boarded dogs overnight. I love all dogs, big + small, and know how important it is for them not just to be well taken care of, but happy! Now it’s just me and my dog (Micho) in Pittsburgh exploring the trails around the city, and we would love to bring your pup along! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule + take multiple walks a day, short hikes a couple times a week, and longer day trips on the weekends. Because I only take one dog at a time, my time will be completely devoted to your dog for one-on-one play, walks, snuggling, and everything in between.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forest Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Hills is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $20 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 2,401 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest Hills. 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 Forest Hills. 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 Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills. 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.
