Dog Walking Larimer

“Diana was great! She was super attentive to our older pup and was able to come back when we were running late! It’s our second time booking with Diana and will certainly do it again!”

Lauren L.

“Isabella was great! I had a family emergency and needed help last minute walking my dog. She responded to my inquiry almost immediately which was greatly appreciated. Paddington was really nervous at first but she used her calm and gentle demeanor to change his tune! I will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”

Megan M.

“Amy was wonderful. Reliable; consistent and helpful communications through the Rover app. My neighbors who met her on walks with my dog said she was wonderful, too!”

About: In college I lived next door to a nurse with two dogs and I watched her dogs multiple times a week while she worked long hours. I also watched my friend’s dog while she was out of town. I’m a paramedic so I work two 24 hour shifts a week but am free the rest of the week! I pick up shifts as needed but these are only if I don’t have other obligations. With instructions, I’ll do my best to stick to your routine to avoid causing stress for your pets! I also pick up after myself (and pets) and try to leave places the same or better than I found them:)

“Hanna was fantastic with our two dogs! She was an excellent and proactive communicator and it’s clear our dogs loved her (the most important part). We would highly recommend Hanna and have already booked with her again for an upcoming trip.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, volunteered walking regular, power and bashful dogs for 2 years at the humane animal rescue of Pittsburgh, currently have 2 cats. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walking the dogs on weekdays and weekends. I will follow your instructions to take the best care of your loved pups, and cats! I can work with you and your loved pups to make the experience as joyful as possible.

“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”

Samantha K.

“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!”

Sarah B.

“Samara is AMAZING! She gives my dogs’ the attention they need during their walk. Thank you, Samara, for being an all star!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant dogs. I take pet care seriously and pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to what makes each pet feel most comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calmer environment with plenty of attention and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m also a very communicative sitter and walker and am happy to send regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, happy, loved, and stress free as possible while you’re away! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I make sure I only accept bookings that I can give the proper time and attention to. As a full-time student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but my class schedule gives me flexibility and breaks throughout the day. I have the most availability on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, while still having room to accommodate other days with some flexibility on both of our parts. I’m also available for overnight stays and extended care when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom schedule as much as possible, and I communicate clearly about my availability so you always know what to expect while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, household rules, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet and your space and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I also take care to clean up after each visit, including refreshing litter boxes, cleaning food and water bowls, and keeping your pet’s area tidy. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and body language so I can recognize when they’re comfortable, excited, nervous, or simply need some space. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for. I try to treat every pet like they’re my own, providing as much comfort, attention, and reassurance as possible while also respecting their individual boundaries and routine!

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.

“Meghan is very gentle and sweet. She did an excellent job communicating with us and took great care of our pup! She was prompt and I felt very comfortable having her in our home.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for friends, family members, neighbors, and Rover users. I took a break from Rover, but have wanted to get back to spending time with animals as I am a student once again. I can take care of the sleepiest pets and the highest energy ones. Reach out to me if you are going away or need someone to come by and check in on your furry friend. I am a nursing student which gives me a lot of free time to spend with my pets and yours! I can stop by early in the morning before class or anytime after 3 PM. I will care for the pets by feeding them per the owners instructions, playing with them, and giving them the attention they need to keep them stimulated and happy. I can take dogs to nearby parks or walk them around the neighborhood.

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'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: As a previous dog owner and sitter of nearly a decade, I have a very strong skill set when it comes to catering to your unique pup's needs! I am keen on carefully following the instructions left by dog owners while also using my own sensible judgement to make the best decisions for each pet. I can't wait to meet both you and your pup! I am a full-time CMU student, so I'm available to care for your pet(s) predominately on the weekends and all semester breaks during the school year, but anytime during the summer! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs unfortunately. However, I do live within 3-5 minutes away from several parks, including Mellon Park, The Walled Garden, and Baum Grove Park.

About: I have been an in-home pet sitter since 2024, caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I also grew up with a Goldendoodle and have always been very comfortable around dogs. I am respectful of clients’ homes and love the opportunity to get to know their pets! I am currently in graduate school and working (very) part time, so I will have plenty of availability to spend time with your pets throughout the day. I’m happy to learn your pet’s routines and quirks to make them feel as comfortable as possible while I watch them. I’m also happy to attend to any house-related tasks, such as watering plants, taking the trash out for pickup, etc.

“Mary did great with our little guy, was responsive and kept us up to date while we were away. She walked and fed him twice while we were away and was on time and sent us photos and updates.”

Cassie B.

“We were in Pittsburgh for our wedding and were lucky enough to book with a few days notice. She was responsive and communicative. Very easy to book with and seemed capable of handling our awkward and anxious catahoula tripod.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I’m a huge dog lover! I love all kinds of dogs, big or small. I myself have a male German Shepherd, so I am used to handling large and energetic dogs. I’ve pet sat huskies, pit bulls, doodles, mastiffs, shih tzus and more. I’d love to walk your pet and play with them for you! I am currently a Chatham student looking to make some extra cash. I’m extremely flexible and available most of the day. I miss my 100-pound German Shepherd back home, so getting to play with your dogs would absolutely make my day! I am able to handle bigger dogs and small dogs are no problem at all. I’m super active and love going on walks/runs.
