About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.
About: Hi! I would love any experience and I love all animals. I also have a very flexible schedule! I would love to help anyone I can! I can help out most days of the week. Mostly mornings or afternoons, but working during the day on the weekends works perfectly for me! I love all animals and treat any I meet like my own! I would not mind having to respectfully visit client’s homes if that is needed!
“Bryce did a great job taking care of Niko on his morning walks while I was out of town. He was reliable, always on time, and kept me updated with pictures and texts, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely book with him again.”
About: I love walking, playing, & watching all sorts of dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs in the house since I was a little girl. Dogs are my best friends! I currently work as a nurse so my schedule moves around a bit. Typically I am only working about 3 days a week! Any of my 4 days off I can be available! My home is friendly & welcoming to all different dogs. I do have a fenced in yard, & a dog who gets along great with others!
“Great communication, punctual, sweet with my dog, productive walks (poop & pee everytime!) and provides good updates ! And helps with last minute bookings when she can. Big fan of Abigayle!”
About: I've had an incredibly friendly and energetic black lab that I have loved for 14 years now. I have a great home which is a fantastic space for pets. My current black lab is great with other pets and I'd love to care for other dogs! I'm a college student home for the summer and have plenty of free time to help take care of dogs! My current black lab eats every morning around 7 am and again for dinner around 5 pm. She takes poddy breaks often and we have a large back yard for her to play and run. She also loves to go for walks and car rides which I do for her often. I have a fantastic house with great environment for pets. I grew up loving dogs and know how to make them happy! My home will be a great place for your dog to stay!
About: Located in Bloomfield / Shadyside — I’ve had over 10 cats in my life (many of whom lived to 18+!) as well as 2 dogs. I’ve pet-sat for all kinds of dogs, cats, and fish for neighbors and friends. Feel free to reach out and I can drop by to feed and play with the cat, take the dog for a walk, whatever you need! Have taken care of both old and young pets. Currently have a flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can see what works ! I have a car which gives me even more flexibility. I’m diligent in following instructions and always keeping an eye on potential hazards or escape routes for your beloved pet. I’m a quick communicator and won’t hesitate to ask any questions !
About: With over 50 years of experience with a variety of dogs and cats, I bring a patient and loving approach to every pet. I meet! I recently retired after 43.5 years and I am looking forward to part time work that includes spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes! I always prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet I care for – including my own! I’m reliable, and treat every animal with patience and respect.
About: I have had three younger siblings with also having three different sized dogs as I grew up at the same time as I would babysit them, and it was harder to watch my siblings than the dogs lol. I currently have a 6:30-3:30 am job in McKees Rocks and only 25 minutes from home in Oakmont! I love dogs and have had all sizes of dogs throughout my life! I’m looking for the dog companionship and something else to do on my nights and weekend off that are filled with loving pets! I would love to have my own dog but my building is a little strict with sizing on Pets, so this is the best I can do for now! I would care for them by their rules and perhaps a itemized schedule and or list of things they love to do, things to avoid and also make sure to be around the dog constantly and give numerous amounts of attention and care while away from their owners
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.
About: Our family has 2 very friendly labs, Gabigool 3 y/o and Pepperoni 1 y/o. Their hobbies are running in the yard, playing fetch/tug of war and cuddling. Gabi and Pepper love making friends with other dogs! Our Cat Joni enjoys watching the dogs play from other side of the room and keeps to herself. No dog is too big or too high energy. As long as you love to play and are good with cats you'll love hanging out at Gabi and Pepper's house! "Woof woof woof" - Gabi I am a health care worker who works full-time on the weekends and am home Monday through Friday. I grew up taking care of our family dogs and now I have two of my own I absolutely love them. I am available for walks and play time Monday through friday.

When its a little too cold to be outside we take fetch and tug of war inside. "Bark bark bark"- Pepper
About: I've been pet sitting for over 15 years. I routinely watch my friends and family's pets. I have also had pets of my own, including dogs and cats. I have summers off and am very flexible with schedules. During the year I am free most days but can also work around with any schedule. I have experience with crate training. I also have experience using dog diapers on unspayed dogs. I am flexible and adaptive to whatever your wishes may be!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!
About: I believe our pets deserve the best care especially in times where pet moms/dads have to provide and take care of themselves, that’s where I come in to help focus on your pet and give them the same energy you would, so you can think about you! Patience, perfectionism, calmness, consideration, these are all things I take pride in. I am a very loving, gentle care taker (who loves to burn some energy off too through play!) I will focus on making sure your pets every need is met while going above and beyond to ensure they feel emotionally happy, safe, and respected by me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day, any time! I have reliable transportation and am available last minute if you need me I always start with a clean & sanitary space by ensuring food bowls, water bowls, beds blankets etc are all sanitary. Enrichment activities, brain stimulation, exercise, massages, cooking homemade dog/cat food, outfits/shoes for heat/cold protection, etc.
About: Greetings. I've had pets most of my life and recently have taken care of many dogs during COVID on a long and short term basis. The longest stay I had was 2 months while the owner went to India. I recently moved to Pittsburgh (Mt Washington) from the Netherlands so I'm happy to have a pet to 🐶 hang out with while I'm learning the area. I work full time, however it's remote from home and I set my own break schedule. So I'll have plenty of spare time to walk, groom and play with the 🐕 I'm in a condo that allows pets and am on the ground floor so it's easy to take multiple breaks for a walk or run. Medicine wise, I have given pills and insulin injections to animals I have watched and not got scratched.
“A big thank you yo Molly for looking after our Guinness. She kept us up to date with the Rover card that tracks the visit and sent us a beautiful photo of our dog. We found her relaxed and happy. Well done!”

Yasmeen has been walking my dog for the past 10 months, and she has been an absolute joy to work with. My dog adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. She’s communicative, reliable, and has even helped with last-minute walks when needed. I’m so glad we found her on Rover!
We reached out to Ashley for last minute walks we need unexpectedly and she responded immediately that she was available and excited to meet our pup! She was right on time both days and left a detailed note and so many photos!!! Thank you Ashley we will be reaching out when we need walks next!!
