“Otto is very lucky to have Jenn as his walker. She is very kind and patient, reliable and punctual. This is our first try with Rover and we are very happy with this match! Thank you, Jenn for taking such great care of Otto during his daily walks - it has been great getting to know you over the past 3 weeks - we appreciate you!”
“Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I have one dog named Zeus who is like a child to me and one cat named Tito who I also adore! Sometimes I think I like animals more than people😂. Animals always love me and I always treat them like my own:)) I currently do not work so my schedule is always open no matter what time or day of the week! I’m free almost all the time:)) I have an open yard with a long chain I use for potty breaks or outdoor play time! We also have many neighbor dogs who love to make new friends! All of my neighbor dogs play together and get along great with my dog.
“Brianne is a fantastic person and does a great job with our difficult 1 year old puppy. She has a level of patience and understanding of his needs. I can’t recommend her highly enough and would use her every day if I could.”
“Abbigail was very prompt and professional with her communication, showed up on time, and walked our energetic puppy to get his wiggles out during a day that we could not. We were so happy to have her and everything went smoothly!”
About: I spend my time taking care of my 3 (yes, 3!) dogs and there's nothing I'd rather do! I also love making new furry friends. I'm fit and active and I will play as long as the dogs will! Please provide as much info as possible about your pet so that I may customize the care I provide. Pet care IS my routine; I am available seven days a week to walk or sit your fuzzy friends. I have flexibility to accept same-day requests if necessary. Safety and exercise are a priority; I like to take multiple walks per day and will always keep dogs on leash and safe while having a fun time.
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!
“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.”
“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”
About: I have been raising cats my entire life and currently have 2 12 year old cats. I have taken care of others dogs and recently got my own. I currently am in between jobs so I have open availability to be able to check on your pet and give you peace of mind while away. I do bathroom breaks every 0-2 hours with walks mixed in throughout the day. Feeding however you would like your pet to be fed. Lots of playtime!
About: Have experience taking care of elderly dogs with help me harnesses. Also have experience taking care of dogs with past trauma experiences. Treat every dog like it’s your own! I am on break from Physician assistant school. So I have a lot of free time until I go back at the end of January. I love to take dogs on walks multiple times a day. I am good with making sure your house is taken care of as well as your pets.
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.
“Sarah is amazing!! She genuinely cares about your dog’s well being and sends updates after each walk. Which as a helicopter dog mom, I absolutely love. I had only ever trusted family to watch my dog Nash, so handing him off to someone new was a big deal for me. Sarah made it easy by meeting Nash before his first walk, and I immediately felt comfortable with him in her care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I 1000% recommend Sarah!”
About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!
About: I am available any day of the week at any time, I love animals, I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I will bring your dog for walks, make sure they're fed on time, go potty a couple times a day, and anything else you need I can do for you! I have my own transportation and am able to stay at your house or your pet can stay at mine while you're gone! I live in an apartment and am located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and am willing to travel up to an hour from me if needed. I am looking to make extra money for school and to help you out! I currently don’t have any pets of my own.
About: When I was 13 years old I house sat for my first dog ever- Harley. Ever since Harley I have been dog sitting, and walking for over 10 years. When I bought my own home 5 years ago we began boarding dogs because as a pet owner I know how much better I feel when my animals are with someone I can trust. I promise to be that person for you! I am a Registered Nurse by trade, however, I do work from home so those pups of yours will be loved all day long. I am comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, senior dogs, medication that needs given, dogs who have medical issues and much more. Please feel free to reach out! I would love to give your dog a home away from home ❤️ I work from home so I am home all day with them. If I do go out it is no more than 4 hours at a time and if I am boarding/pet sitting I would not leave for longer than 4 hours a day. I have 3 of my own dogs. 2 are less than 10lbs and the other one absolutely LOVES puppies/new energetic friends. We have a fenced in yard, a nice dog-friendly neighborhood to walk animals in, lots of couch space to snuggle up with every one, and lots and lots of play time!

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 Hickory. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
