About: I have had 5 dogs of various breeds that have had unique care needs. These needs have included allergy injections, oral medications, dietary restrictions, and food modifications. I am comfortable with basic grooming, like brushing and ear cleaning. I am an avid walker and would love to take your pup on a nice walk. Also, I have had experience with cat sitting for friends and neighbors. I currently am pet free but will love and care for your pet like my own. I work full time during weekdays. But, I have plenty of time during the weekends to care for your pets. This is when I would love to care for you pet over the weekend. Whether you’re running errands, out for an event, or away for a weekend, you can trust that that any duration will fit into my schedule. I am diligent about following rules already set for your home and happy to learn about them at the meet & greet. This includes crating your pup as directed by your instructions, being mindful during walks, and keeping an eye on your pet while they’re in my care.
“Ericka was such a huge help and was so responsive. We look forward to working with her again when we are in Pittsburgh. Thank you so much for your help!”

“I highly recommend Candace she was a lifesaver during a very busy time for me. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was taken care of he even told me that Candace rocks.. meaning he was a very happy puppy!!”

“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”


About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have had my fair share of animals! My family, friends, and neighbors typically rely on my when in need of a sitter! I work as a server in a restaurant with easy hours and a 1 day photography gig for three hours during the week! I’m in community college and have a pretty free scheduling process! Constantly making sure your pet has the attention and care your pet deserves! Stimulating and helping them work out a lot of their energy instead of being alone!
About: I went to a vet tech program in high school which made me familiar with disabilities and health issues in pets. I have trained both my medium/large dogs and even one of my cats. I am comfortable with animals of any size or shape. I have also raised three happy independent kittens from when they were only just about a month old. I am currently working on getting a job as an EMT and applying to colleges, Currently I am available weekdays after 3 pm and weekends after 12:00 pm(this is flexible and I would be willing to stretch earlier in the day if needed but it is a general guideline). My availability once I get a job at an ambulance company may change but it should not be anything too significant. I can come over for up to a few hours a day to spend time with/ feed any animals in the household, I unfortunately can not stay overnight due to my own cat at home but would be willing to come over earlier in the morning and stay all day if necessary. If walking a dog we will discuss and plan a route, or discuss how long the walks should be for me to walk beforehand.
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.
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: My names Victoria and I'm a 32 year old graphic designer. I work from home full time during the week. I love dogs and will treat your pup like they’re my own. I live in an apartment with a small fenced in patio suitable for small dogs. My dog loves it!! I allow pets on furniture and I welcome all the cuddles! I grew up having a dog of my own, so taking care of animals comes very naturally to me. I currently have a 6 year old, 20 pound, curly haired pup named Bandit. He’s the sweetest boy! I have the option to bring him along for sittings or he can stay home at my parents house where he is completely spoiled, wile I come spoil your pets. I’m excited to meet you and your animals and can’t wait to grow my animal loving community through Rover. I work from home full time as a graphic designer. I have great flexibility to give your pets all the attention they need during the day! My evening and weekends are totally free. I always follow whatever rules you use with your pet in your home or in mine. I think consistency with pets is key. For example, if you allow your pets on beds and furniture then I will also allow them. But if you don’t allow this, I will maintain that consistency for you when they are with me. I know that’s what I would want for my dog, to feel as similar to home as possible.
About: I have had a dog since I was 5 years old! I have taken care of my own dogs and others. I recently have taken care of cats, thanks to my friends who have them! I can walk, feed, take them outside and, if they get dirty, I can bath them! I have an extremely flexible schedule during the week and weekends to accommodate your busy schedule. Please allow me to work with you on a time that works best for us both! Rest assured that your furry baby is in capable hands and will be treated like family. I will ensure that your dog's well-being is my top priority. I'll create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog to thrive.
“Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since high school and have 8+ years of experience. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s dogs, including disabled dogs that required extra attention and patience. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, and understand how to adjust care based on their needs. I work virtually, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m a huge animal lover and vegan, so I take caring for animals very seriously and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work virtually and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, and stick closely to their normal routine. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to make sure they feel secure and stress-free. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and even disabled dogs that require extra care and patience. I keep a clean, calm environment and provide close supervision at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.

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!

Hannah is great!! My dog is always excited to see her and I love coming home knowing that he’s happy, exercised and well cared for while I’m at work. She always communicates promptly and sends me cute photos of him which makes my work day much brighter. Can’t recommend her enough!!

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 Heidelberg. 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.
