“I can’t thank kelly enough for saving the day! I had a last-minute situation pop up and needed someone to walk the pups on very short notice. Kelly responded almost instantly, jumped right in without hesitation, and handled everything seamlessly. Reliable, responsive, and incredibly accommodating—I will definitely be booking kelly again and highly recommend them to anyone needing top-notch care for their pup.”
About: I have tons of experience with larger and smaller dogs! My parents have a 6 year old black lab that I watch regularly when they go out of town, and I watch my friend’s shorkie regularly as well! I would love to get to know your furry best friends! I am currently working part-time, so I have more time on my hands to spend with your cute pets! I am happy to work my schedule with yours to find the best arrangement! I am willing to follow any routine necessary to keep your animals comfortable! Whether that’s special food requirements or just a cuddle before they go to bed!
“Jessi is amazing! She is so reliable and responsible and clearly LOVES dogs. I get a complete report and lots of pictures after she walks Yogi. I highly recommend her!”
About: Caring for pets has always been part of my life, not just something I do, but something I truly love. I share my home with my big-hearted Golden Retriever Lucy Goose who brings joy, structure, and a lot of personality into my daily routine. Through her—and the many pets I’ve cared for—I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, medications, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also had the joy of hosting pets with special needs, recently including a vivacious little pug puppy with epilepsy. Providing a calm, consistent, and loving environment is something I take pride in. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection—just like one of my own. While away, your pet is my family and I am fiercely protective of my family. Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who’s very much part of my everyday life. Caring for pets is something that feels natural to me—it’s woven into my daily routine, not something squeezed in as an afterthought. My Lucy Goose is a large Golden Retriever with the sweetest, most gentle “little dog energy.” She’s very social, kind, and welcoming, and does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She has happily shared her space with smaller dogs and special-needs pets, and all interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I work during the week for about 6–8 hours a day, and outside of that time my life revolves around walks, fresh air, playtime, and creating a calm, loving home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, and I’m intentional about making sure every pet in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their quirks, honoring their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can truly relax. My home includes a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I supervise pets closely throughout the day. I also have a few pup gates to ensure safe calm and private pet feedings or if quiet time is needed. I also use cameras for added peace of mind and awareness while I am out and about. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I follow routines carefully, respect boundaries, and keep a watchful eye on behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. I communicate openly and provide updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and cared for.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments for years and am experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. Families rely on me to maintain feeding schedules, reinforce basic training, manage high-energy play, and provide attentive senior support. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication so owners feel fully confident their pets and homes are in responsible hands. I work from home, which allows me significant flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins. I service areas within approximately 20 minutes of 15237 and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I do have a standing commitment at the barn on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and once over the weekend, but I build pet care schedules around that to ensure animals are never left longer than agreed upon. Communication and planning are always prioritized. I maintain a clean, structured, and pet-safe environment whether I’m in a client’s home or hosting in mine. I follow feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, and behavioral guidelines carefully. I studied basic veterinary care, so I am comfortable monitoring health changes, administering medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I treat every home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and clear communication.
“We used Amy for dog walking. She was very accommodating and reliable! It was on short notice and she made time to come and meet our dog and was flexible with her schedule. We will definitely use Amy again!”

Experience with special needs dogs. I previously had a dog with three times daily medications and medical problems, so I am comfortable with those types of dogs. Also, I have reliable and safe transportation for your pooch. Please contact me anytime, day or night, with your requests or questions. I cant wait to meet you and your dog! I work full-time but willing to be flexible to your needs. My schedule changes weekly so I can be available for you. Let me know your needs. I am all about loving pups and kitties.

About: Hello!! My name is Abby. I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate awaiting my first job in the health care field. I have grown up with a mixture of dogs in my life, have dog sat for years and recently have gotten my own dog Odie who is a Basset Hound. I love dogs and love caring for them. Currently, I am not working so I am very flexible in my availability! I can do morning, afternoon or evening walks. I can also help with breakfast or dinner or anything else you might need for your pet! I am very accommodating and can do pretty much anything you need for your dog. I am comfortable with crating, working on tricks, going on walks and whatever else they might need.
About: I have a bit too much time on my hands and love animals. I've cared for dogs and cats for many years as a volunteer. I'm a complete pacifist and have too much love in my heart not to share it with more animals! I work part time in retail so my schedule is very variable. What's great about that is that I have availability all day some days! However, i don't have weekends off. I will treat your place with respect and cater to your pets' needs. They will be very loved and entertained. I don't offer my home for services.
“Monica was awesome! She took care of my dog Mia for a week. When I walked in the door finally, I swear I caught a look of disappointment in Mia’s eyes that I wasn’t Monica. That makes me smile. Monica took such sweet and professional care of Mia. I can’t recommend Monica highly enough.”
“Hannah was great with my dog Daisy. She walked her while I was away on vacation and maintained communication with me everyday. When it was too hot to walk the entire time, she played with Daisy and gave her snuggles inside. I definitely recommend her and will book again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every size, age, and kind since I was young. In my own household, I’ve been the primary caretaker of three pooches, all requiring walkies, pets, medication, and special care and attention at some point. I also have a very special place in my heart for senior dogs. I love dogs more than anything on this earth and the wellbeing of the pup in my care has always been my #1 priority, by far! I work remotely for the most part, and have tons of flexibility! I do prefer working from my home office due to my equipment setup, but otherwise am able to accommodate for many different needs time-wise. I live right nearby a park with some trails, as well as in the middle of a town full of flat sidewalks which are perfect for walks.
About: Hey my names Mckayla, I’d love to have an opportunity to try and get out and help in the community and best of all meet some furry friends along the way. I’ve grown up around all types of animals! Dogs mainly but I love them all. My family considers our pups as another one of us we try to include them in as many day to day activities as we can, so I definitely know it can be stressful leaving a pet to go away! I’d be happy to know I’d able to help take some of that stress away! I’m a huge chewy fan, if anyone can relate! I definitely wouldn’t mind sharing with our visitors if we get any! Overall just hope I can help maybe make the best of a stressful situation or take an extra walk, anything to hopefully get myself out more often.
“Tessa was great! She walked my big bird with dachshund hound and the two were super sweet and got along great. I would absolutely use her in the future. She’s really great with communication and taking care of one of my most important girls in my life 🙂”
“This is my second time asking Jessika to take care of my timid Dachshund, Harley. Jessika is patient, gentle and kind to my quirky pup. I leave Harley with Jessika without worry, knowing she is in the hands of a reliable, responsible and caring friend.”
“Lindsey was wonderful! I appreciate her taking the time to walk with Ella. Ella was comfortable and happy. This is great practice for her to learn to walk with other people.”
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.

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

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.
