“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”
“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!”
“Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.”
About: Hi I’m Caroline! I am recent grad of Pitt’s Counseling Program and a Cat Mom of 2! I have many years of experience in caring for animals of my own and visiting other people’s homes for pet sitting. I am available for check in visits and walks and I am able to feed and give medication, and spend a little extra time playing with your furry friend. I also love taking care of cats and will clean up after both cats and dogs. I work with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I will also check your mail and packages and turn your lights on and off, water plants, etc. if you are out of town. I can’t wait to work with your pets! I am currently transitioning from school to work and have pretty open availability throughout the week, especially early mornings and later afternoon/evenings. Saturdays remain pretty open as well, while Sundays are often booked for me. I am experienced working with animals of a variety of temperaments across settings. As a Mom of two shy cats, I am very patient, while always ready to snuggle and play!
“Cannot thank Tiffany enough for her flexibility and thoroughness when walking Turtle! She is a great communicator, and shares detailed info about their walks! It's a weight off my shoulders on busy days, and I can always count on Turtle to have a great time when he walks with Tiffany!”
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. 😃
“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!”
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 balancing being in school, but I am open to finding a time that works for both of us. Feel free to 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.
“Ashley walked our dog on Thanksgiving and was flexible with her time. We really appreciate her availability and adaptability. And our dog loves to get an extra walk with her. I recommend Ashley!”
About: I grew up with a chihuahua and small pomapoo and after that I had two Great Danes. I currently have a golden doodle named Sesame. I have a pretty relaxed schedule currently so I’m free nearly 24/7 to be able to care for your fur babies. I can do overnight stays as well! Making sure that both the pets and owner feel comfortable is a top priority. From there, I find it important to figure out the dogs routine and make sure I stick to it.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for family and friends since I was young. Growing up with a dog, cats, and chickens, I have lots of pet experience! During the beginning of COVID, I got a puppy with my sister and was the main care taker and trainer for several years. I am excited to love your pets just as much as you do! I am a Pitt post-grad, currently working as a fitness instructor. I coach average 2-5 classes per day, so have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the day. My dog at home is a bit of a tricky walker, and wasn’t very good with other dogs when he was younger, so I have lots of experience and can adapt to a dogs walking style and needs.
“Amanda and her son were great with Nash! He loves little kids and I’m sure it made his day getting to play! She was super responsive and was able to take Nash out last minute which relieved a lot of stress when my prior arrangement fell through the night before. Would definitely recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburgh
Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.
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.
