About: I have had dogs all of my life that were all gotten while they were puppies. Have taught so many fun tricks that I can pass to your best friend too. I’m currently available at all hours to take care of your best friend(s). Though I am active my trainings and games usually keep me busy for a maximum of two hours. I have a nice and safe apartment with easy access to outside and a quick walk to Point State Park will give them all the grass they could ever dream of.
“I’ve never had someone check on my dog in my home before. I am so glad I found Ashley and that she agreed to check in and walk my dog Kenya. I needed help last minute, and she agreed to walk my dog so quickly. She sent pictures and great updates about their walk and how Kenya did. I had peace of mind at work knowing that Kenya was getting her exercise and some affection. I will definitely continue to book with Ashley!!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover! I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have 2 senior dogs that I am trusted to take care of. In addition, I pet sit for neighbors when they are away, and have done so throughout high school and college. I also adopted a cat in 2021, doing the necessary research for cat ownership! And have had a gecko, so I am no stranger to reptiles. I am currently a student at Pitt, majoring in education. I am available Mondays (evenings), Tuesdays (morning/evening), Wednesday (evening), Thursdays (morning/evening), Fridays (evenings), Saturdays, and Sundays!! The longest I am away when petsitting is no more than 6 hours (Mondays and Wednesdays). I try to be as available as possible when taking care of pets. This means staying with them as much as possible, spending the night, etc. At the owners request! I also don’t mind doing work such as bathroom cleanup, brushing, certain foods, administering pills, etc. Whenever I take care of someone’s animals, I like to treat them as my own and prioritize their wellbeing!
“Tiffany is on time and does a great job with Coco. She gets her exercise for sure and is tired and content when she gets back. Thank you Tiffany.”
“Danielle was easy to communicate with, got along great with the dogs, and went above and beyond to give them exercise on a stormy day by coming back by once the rain had stopped to let them out again. I will definitely hire her more and highly recommend her.”
“Thanks so much to Lara for filling in when my dog walker was out of town. It was so appreciated and I will certainly be contacting her again in the future for fill ins!”
“Brittani was great to work with, super quick to respond and was able to help with such short notice. Mosa seemed to love her, so we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“I cannot say enough about Gabriella. She is incredibly professional and has such amazing, positive energy. We have two beagles, and from the very first meet and great, they felt completely comfortable and excited around her. Which says a lot! It is truly clear that she knows how to connect with dogs. Every walk last week seems to have gone smooth, reliable, and based by the pictures I received, full of happy tail wags. I feel totally at ease knowing my pups are in such great hands. Highly recommended.”

About: For more than 10 years, I have volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I care for dogs by feeding, walking, and supporting their daily needs. I have been a lifelong dog owner and have developed a strong understanding of their care and behavior. I currently have two dogs: a dachshund and a medium-sized Labrador/Pit Bull mix. Spending time with dogs is something I enjoy, and caring for them is rewarding. Their companionship brings me a great deal of happiness. I currently work full-time and am available during the evenings. Beginning in the fall, I will also be attending school, so my availability will vary depending on the day. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, especially playing with their favorite toys. We often play fetch outside and enjoy relaxing together in the sunshine.
“Ava was great with my pup! She responded quickly, was reliable, and took her on a nice walk. I really appreciated the prompt photo updates and communication throughout the visit. I would definitely book with Ava again and would recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog walker.”

About: I am a college student with two dogs of my own at home. I am the biggest animal lover and treat all pets as if they were my own! I do not remember a time in my life where I haven't been involved in some way with animals. Whether that has been working on a farm, volunteering at a small animal clinic, showing my pet rabbit, or competing in horse competitions, all pets of many different shapes and sizes have been at the forefront of my life! I am highly active and will happily take your dog on walks, runs, hikes, and beach days if you'd like me too. I am also totally down to play inside and keep your pup company at your home! I am accustomed to giving dogs medication as I have a senior dog myself. I will be sure to send lots of pictures and videos while your away because I know how hard it is to leave our best friends! I can be highly flexible with my schedule. I work part time and therefore can typically make most situations work, just reach out and let me know what works best for you! They will be treated like a king/queen! I am used to an excited dog on a leash. I can be patient and accommodating for slower pups as well. I will follow directions exactly and have no issue with picky and particular dogs.

I only have one class a day that is in person and it is an hour. Tuesdays and Thursdays are completely free!! In a professional setting, I pride myself on attention to detail and alertness. My passion for healthcare continues to intersect with my passion and care for animals!
About: I’ve boarded, walked, and slept over with pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. It’s a passion for me, and that shows in my care. I work full time for the Pennsylvania Courts! My schedule is very flexible. I provide premium care with a workable schedule to suit your needs. I look at pets’ body language to see if they need space, listen to their “words”… years of experience help to let me know the best way to care for your pet. 😃

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburgh
Ava was absolutely fantastic! She responded very quickly, was great with our dog, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the walk with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure she was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely book with Ava again. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience! Adrienne walked our dog twice a day for a week and he was in heaven. She provided tons of photos and videos of him and also had detailed report cards that shared his demeanor and where they went. It really helped us have peace of mind while we left him for a week.
Odelia is a very nice person. Communication was quick and easy. She was on time and treated our dog gently and with kindness. She asked thoughtful questions about our dog and his routine. This was our first time meeting so we took a walk together to introduce our dog to Odelia.
Brandy was incredibly patient and took her time to connect and build trust with our timid dog. She took her on some sweet outings and was always consistent and communicative about care. This meant so much, as I was recovering from surgery and felt like I could relax and rely on her support. Highly recommend Brandy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Pittsburgh on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of August 2026, there are 2,489 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pittsburgh. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Pittsburgh. 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 Pittsburgh.

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 Pittsburgh. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
