About: Dog walking & sitting was my very first job, and has always remained my favorite. I am a mom to a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles boy but have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including older ones who require medications. I only work very part-time and am looking to make dog walking more a part of my weekly life! They say a job should be what you love doing and I love taking care of doggos. I can make your dog's care a priority, dedicating time and focus on them. I am punctual and trustworthy, and offer clear and consistent communication. I understand how it feels to leave your dog's care in someone else's hands. Sometimes we just have to! I will show up to your home on time, taking your doggo for the exercise they need, and making sure they have ample bathroom and play time.
“Jessica was a huge help for me with doing a drop in visit to give my English Setter a break as I’m at work. She was excellent with communication and using the Rover app for updates. I would definitely use Jessica again”
About: I am a 19-year-old animal lover with over 6 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. My passion for animals started at a young age, and beginning at 13, I regularly walked dogs for several neighbors. Through pet sitting, I have gained experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to horses and farm animals. I am dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I currently work part-time at my family’s coffee shop, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I am often available for early morning visits before work, midday visits after my morning shift (typically around noon), and evening care as needed. I am reliable, responsible, and happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that meets their pets’ needs. I also have a friendly bulldog who loves meeting new people and dogs. If your dog enjoys socializing and you’re comfortable with it, I can bring her along for company during visits. Of course, your pet’s comfort and preferences always come first, and I will only do this with your permission.
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I’m the friend people trust to take care of their dogs/cats while they go away. I’m adjustable to different breeds and needs. I will give them the attention and love they’re used to. I love going on walks so I will be just as excited to go! I am currently working from home, so I am flexible for different drop in and walking times. I will be in school starting the end of August, but I’m open to finding a time that works, just message me.☺️ I understand every furry friend is different and I am adaptable to learn their routine! When I am in your home I will do what is possible to make them feel happy and safe.
“We have used him twice and he went above and beyond both times walking my dog, from taking him in his car to a better location for a walk to potty breaks and putting him back in his cage and setting it up the way it was before for his anxiety I would absolutely recommend to anyone”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds ever since I was little and have always had a strong love for animals. I said goodbye to my Shih Tzu in 2019, who lived a happy 15 years and now I have two goofy and loving sister cats. I have two years of experience dog-sitting, caring for both large and small breeds, as well as two years of cat-sitting experience with both single- and multi-cat households. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm currently working full-time, but I work remotely so I’m flexible during the week to do drop-ins or longer stays and fully available on the weekends. I always believe I’m leaving someone’s home better than I’ve come into it, whether that’s doing the last dish in the sink or having fresh flowers for when you return home. I treat your home with respect and your pet(s) as family. I double-check that doors are locked and happy to care for plants while I’m there.
About: Hi, I’m Joceline! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover who knows that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits and walks. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets exactly what they need, whether that’s a walk, potty break, fresh water, meals, medication, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home. You’ll also receive plenty of photos and updates after each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, personalized care while making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable until you’re home again. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I respect your home and your pet’s routine as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow all instructions, make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, and always leave your home just as I found it. You’ll also receive detailed updates and plenty of photos after every visit.
“Kate has been wonderful with walking my boy. She communicates well, is reliable, flexible and all around a good person. Unfortunately we are moving, I can only hope our next walker is as caring & good.”
About: I’ve had experience with all levels of pets. From giving medicine to training obedience and instilling confidence. I’ve cared for and owned breeds from chihuahuas to pitbulls. I have a genuine knowledge for doggy language and a vibe with kitties. Let me be your pets new best friend and ease both pet and human anxiety ☺️ Im currently working part time seasonally and will be free to play, walk or stay with your furry friend most days of the week. If you like my bio we can discuss more specifically what it looks like for me to stay with your pet! I’m an active and playful being that would love to walk your dog or take them on adventures in the car. I am good with daily big walks or runs inside a fenced yard. I love to train basic obedience like sit stay and heel. Crate trained?-no problem! Free roaming with boundaries- again, no problem!
About: I love taking care of pets, both dogs and cats. I used to take care of my neighbors pets in high school and really enjoyed the experience, and would love to continue doing this as I work my part time job. While I do not have a let myself, I would love to get experience interacting with new animals as I love animals and have always wanted a pet growing up but never got the chance. I’m hoping this experience will inspire me to get a pet for myself one day :) I am currently working remotely on Tuesday’s and fridays and can pet sit while working from 9-5 pm. I am also available after 6:30 pm on MWTh, and am available all weekend for pet sitting. I live in a safe apartment where the pet can stay in our large living living room and go onto our patio for fresh air. I also live in a nice, walkable neighborhood where I will be able to walk the pet when needed.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I have also managed dogs with severe anxiety and certain health issues. I am a college student so until May I am limited to weekends. After May, I will be available workdays and weekends during the day and at night. I have confident skills in understanding dog and cat language from past experiences. I am also great at handling and crating dogs at their own comfort level.
About: As a compassionate animal enthusiast with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets. Drawing from my diverse background as a mother, military veteran, and preschool teacher, I have built strong caregiving skills. In addition, in the past I have worked professionally as a veterinary technician for three years. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of owning various pets, including cats, dogs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, fish, pygmy goats, guinea pigs, turtles, and leopard geckos. Currently, I care for an English bulldog, a cat, and three guinea pigs. Having relocated to the Pittsburgh area in June 2024, I am excited to offer customized care solutions for your pet. As a preschool teacher with summers off, I am well-suited to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they require, treating them with the same kindness I show my own pets. My availability during the school year is limited to nights, weekend, and holiday breaks. I am currently working as a preschool teacher. This gives me the whole summer off which allows me to be very flexible to care for your pets when you can't. I am committed to keeping your pet on the schedule you and your family want for them. All while keeping them safe and loving them.
About: I'm an experienced canine care giver. I've loved dogs all my life + I'll love your dogs like they're my own. My first dog was a black Lab named Maddy. Later I rescued a border collie/labrador mix named Sareena. I've cared for all kinds of dogs - high energy, big, tiny, sick, seniors + more. I recently retired and live with my dog, Sareena. She is a now a senior citizen (11 years) and still has daily walks. I am very flexible with my time. I have plenty of places for them to curl up, toys, treats as per your instructions. I have crates (if necessary), big front yard with lots of leads, great area for walking. Whether walking or staying in my home ... I am extremely punctual and reliable. I will always send you pictures and updates. You can count on me.
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.
“We are so impressed with how well the pups are doing with you!!!! Getting them in such good shape, and a great routine. You are so consistent and so grateful for all the communication and great pics!!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Franklin Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Franklin Park.

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 Franklin Park. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
