About: I have a house with a fenced yard. I like to walk my dogs and will take yours along if desired. My dogs play well with all nice dogs. The longest time between being let outside is 6 hours. If requested, I can take your dog with me almost everywhere I go. I can also come to your house to dog sit depending on location. We can stay in constant touch by phone and/or e-mail. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. Open the door to let them out, fill up food and water bowls. Give them treats. Clean up pet hair. Give dogs apoquil when allergies/rash appear. I have a decent sized fenced yard, so they will be free to run around. I am vigilant about scooping poop as soon as possible.
“I’m writing this review as a very thankful pup owner. I have a 9yo dog who just wasn’t feeling well so I decided to book Brittani very last minute since I had to work a 12 hour shift. My dog decompensated pretty quickly throughout the day and Brittani acted urgently, responsibly, and like anyone who really loves all dogs would. He’s okay and I am beyond thankful for Brittani’s dedication to making sure he got the treatment needed.”
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
About: I’m one of those people who will remember your dog’s name long before I remember yours (apologies in advance). I’ve had dogs for much of my life, including my Golden Retriever and a Lab (who passed over the Rainbow Bridge due to old age). Still grieving those losses, we foster dogs through Bark About It Rescue, which include long-term fosters who lived with my family for months at a time. All that being said, I’m very familiar with the walks, the zoomies, the stubborn streaks, the mysterious things that absolutely MUST be sniffed, that treats and scritchy-scratches are life, and the fact that every dog comes with their own personality and quirks. I’m an equal-opportunity dog lover — from little cuties with attitude to big, goofy pitties and everything in between. I’m comfortable with energetic walkers, rescue pups, and dogs who are shy, cautious, or need a little extra time to warm up. I don’t expect your dog to immediately love me. I’m happy to earn it. I also take the responsibility seriously. You’re trusting me with a member of your family — and, in many cases, your home. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your dog’s routine, keep you updated, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention while they’re with me. And yes, there will be photos. Lots of photos. I work full-time in nonprofit comms so photos are just what I do. Whether we’re getting some serious miles in or your dog’s idea of a “walk” is spending 20 minutes investigating three mailboxes, I’m happy to follow their lead. You handle the schedule. I’ll handle the walks, belly rubs, poop bags, and photographic evidence that your dog had *the best* dog day. I work from home two days a week and am home on weekends, making Thursday through Sunday (with some additional flexibility) my best days to connect with your pup during the morning, afternoon, or evening hours. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their surroundings and body language, and respect your home and routine. And please tell me all their quirks and favorites!
“Fantastic walkers! They took great care of both my dog and cat while I was away on multiple occasions. They sent video/photo updates and were very reliable. Will continue to book again in the future!”
“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.”
About: As a lifelong animal person, I’ve provided dependable care for many dogs of friends and family over the past several years. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering lots of love, and opening my home for safe and comfortable stays. I work part-time Monday through Thursday, so I can provide care in the mornings and evenings, with a few hours away mid-day for work. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday for all-day care and walks. I have a fenced-in backyard and a pool for dogs who love to swim. Your pup will also have a built-in playmate with my dog who is very friendly. Plus, I’m right next to walking trails that are perfect for daily walks.
About: Hi! I’m Dani — I have several years of experience caring for pets and love working with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve helped with dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, and giving lots of attention and playtime. I’m especially reliable, communicative, and patient, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m available for drop-ins and walks and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I also have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate last-minute needs and consistent routines. I’d love to meet your pet! I have three dogs of my own, including one with special needs, so I’m confident working with puppies to senior dogs. I have experience giving medication. I’m presently in school and only taking one class over the summer. I ensure that I keep my availability updated for potential clients. In the summer of 2026, I have no availability on Thursdays. I’m happy to do a meet and greet prior to developing our walking relationship. I’m comfortable providing medication and happy to follow any directions for pet care that are necessary.
“Maria was fabulous. She was consistent and kind and Kev fell in love with her. She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily feedback on his walks. We will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Naomi H. was awesome for walking our two dogs. She was thoughtful, reliable, and flexible when we needed to make changes. We highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
“Meghan is exceptional! She is great with my bulldog Maisie and treats her as if she was her own. Meghan is also so knowledgeable, patient and professional. I know when she walks Maisie, Maisie is in the best hands!”
About: Hi! I’m Alex, I’m a 28 year old graduate student in Pittsburgh and am looking to make some extra cash by doing the thing I love most - taking care of animals! I grew up with multiple dogs (big and small, young and old), two foster cats and four bunnies. I currently have one dog living with me :) I have a lot of experience with training both pups and adult dogs and have dealt with multiple difficult cases while volunteering at an animal shelter during undergrad. I know how hard it can be to balance a full time job or travel with your pets’ wellbeing and am happy to step in and provide some TLC when needed! As a student currently working from home I am very flexible and available on short notice. Please feel free to ask me about any day and any time (except Mondays!) and I will always do my best to make it happen :) I am always happy to take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home or outside on a fun walk to get some energy out! All I ask for is detailed information about your pet’s personality and needs so I can show them proper care. I am also open to short term boarding when needed. I live in a calm and spacious 2 person 1 dog home close to various trails in Frick Park. Please be aware that I can only board vaccinated and tick/flee treated pets for the safety of my own dog and others! :)
About: Hello!! My name is Abby. I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate awaiting my first job in the health care field.

Currently, I am not working so I am very flexible in my availability! I can do morning, afternoon or evening walks. I can also help with breakfast or dinner or anything else you might need for your pet! I am very accommodating and can do pretty much anything you need for your dog. I am comfortable with crating, working on tricks, going on walks and whatever else they might need.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rankin
Daniel was absolutely incredible in every way. We hate leaving our dog Wilson behind, but it makes it less painful when we have such a responsible, communicative, kind, and reliable person like Daniel to walk him while we are gone! We got detailed updates, lots of pictures, and most importantly Wilson looked extremely happy to be with Daniel every day this week. I would highly recommend Daniel and we will definitely see him again soon!!!
Sarah was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive through the Rover app and was so flexible throughout the whole process. She even took the time to come meet my pups beforehand, really listened to everything we told her about their routines and needs, and spent quality time getting to know them. One thing that really stood out was how thoughtful she was during the visit. My dogs don’t like going out in the rain, so instead of cutting the visit short, she stayed inside and played with them to make sure they still got plenty of attention and enrichment. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands.
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!
Casey is an incredible and extremely caring person. She was amazing with Goose and it brought us so much joy to read her recaps and see the photos of him after every walk. She is extremely trustworthy and I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup! ♥️

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 Rankin. 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.

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.
