“Veronica is the kindest, sweetest person on earth 🌎. At first, she kindly rub my furry baby head with gentle touch. My baby instantly feels the positive energy and shake his little tail. Seems like they know when they are in good hands 🙌 Veronica is one of the best dog trainer.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for several years now and have a huge love for all animals. I have a cat of my own and am currently dog sitting for several families in the Pittsburgh area. After a year of working in the lab, I found out I was accepted to medical school. I’m using the next few months to do things I love like spending time with my friends, family, and cat, and pet sitting, something I did a lot of in undergrad There is a nice yard outside of my apartment area and I live right next to a great neighborhood for walking. I have a cat who is very friendly and gets along well with other pets.
About: Having been around animals my entire life, I recognize that every pet has their own special personality. Sometimes, beautiful personalities require more attention, love, or patience than others. Every pet I have owned has been rescued in some form or another, whether from a shelter or right off of the street, and each one has brought their own challenges, but also their own beautiful ways of showing love. I have no problem with jumpy, hyper, or "mouthy" pets, or any other behaviors that might be deemed "problematic". My life with all sorts of animals has allowed me to gain valuable skills, including being comfortable around pets of all sizes and shapes, handling "pushy" behaviors, and caring for senior pets with specific health issues. Allow me to offer a loving hand when yours is not available. While I do work full-time, my schedule outside of the office and ability to travel allows me the flexibility to accommodate for any pet's needs. My number-one priority has always been safety. I've worked in professional environments with animals, such farms and shelters, and carry with me the valuable lessons I gained from those jobs.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs since I was little, from tiny friends to big, gentle giants. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable and will send timely updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands. I have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs and will happily stick to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable. While I wasn’t raised with cats in my home, I’ve had experience caring for them as well. Neighbors, family, friends, and even strangers have trusted me with their pets for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and more. I can’t wait to meet you and get to know your pets! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! Friday-Monday I am available around the clock for check-ins, walks, playtime, and feeding. Since I am available in your home, I will stick to your already established safety measures to keep your pet safe while you are away!
About: Hello! My name is Baylor, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. For the past four years, I've worked as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive experience caring for animals and ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and safe. My veterinary background allows me to confidently administer medications, recognize changes in behavior, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. In addition to my clinical experience, I've been pet sitting for many of my veterinary clients over the past few years. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently taking care of pets as my full-time job, allowing me to be very available and have widespread flexibility to fit your scheduling needs. I am able to care for your dog or cat in whichever way feels most comfortable for you, whether that is a puppy who needs training, walks, and crated time, or a senior cat that requires more frequent, attentive visits and a strict schedule of medication. Given my background, I am also happy to provide additional services such as baths, nail trimmings, and gland expressions when necessary.
About: Ever since I was little I have had an overwhelming love for all animals. No matter where I go I am constantly pointing out an animal, asking its owner more about them, and stopping to pet them! I have grown up with/had dogs my entire life. I have also been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager. During these years I have cared for many animals with different personalities and needs. My own dogs are definitely quirky and I understand that every dog is different and deserves personalized care. I also provide daily medications for my dogs, so I am very used to following specific routines and comfortable giving pets the extra care they may need. I will always treat your animals with love and patience, while, of course, giving them lots and lots of attention. Animals are family! My daily schedule is flexible because I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree online, while allows me to build my schoolwork around a consistent routine. Being that I have plenty of flexibility throughout my day, this provides ample time for dog walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. In every environment, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I really enjoy learning about dogs and am constantly researching their behaviors and body language. I believe understanding how a dog communicates is such an important part in taking care of them. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and individual cues so I can better understand how they are feeling and make them comfortable around me. My dogs in my own home are truly part of the family and are very spoiled and pampered. I make sure they receive lots of attention, love, and enrichment, and I take their comfort and happiness very seriously. Caring for my own pets, for my whole life, has taught me how important it is to notice the little things and truly understand animals. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and treat their home and belongings with the same respect I would my own. I am always mindful of keeping any doors and gates secure, providing plenty of supervision and attention, and making sure each pet gets the exercise, interaction, and care they need. My goal is for every pet I take care of to feel just as loved, comfortable, and well cared for as the animals in my own home.
About: Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my profile! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and cats for the past few years. I believe they really make the world a better place and I just love being around animals. I am very responsible and reliable and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I believe pets are just as much a part of our families as humans are, and so I aim to provide you and your pets with the best care that I could possibly give, every time. I will make sure they get the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! Booking with me, you can feel confident and worry free knowing your pets are in the best hands while you’re gone. I hope to hear from you soon! 😊 My dream is to be a full time pet sitter and spend everyday with your sweet pets!! I am actively trying to turn that dream into a reality and I would greatly appreciate all the support I can get. I would be honored for you to choose me to care for your pets while you are away. I always make sure they have enough food and especially water at all times. Also, I don’t mind being outside with them, taking frequent walks, and letting them enjoy the fresh air and maybe run a little bit too! And lots of play times and pets!
About: I've taken care of multiple cats and dogs for the past 7 years, have helped with house sitting and dropping in to keep energetic dogs from tearing apart the house while the owners are away, and have walked dogs for quite a bit. I have also owned or lived in households where there are multiples cats and dogs, so taking care of more than one animal at a time is not an issue for me. I work night shifts and can easily pop out during the day to take care of any animal, stopping by the house to let the dog out as frequently as needed, feeding the pets, etc. I also have my own car, so transportation is not an issue. For pet care, it entirely depends on the animal. Basics, however, include feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning out litter boxes on a regular basis, and making sure dogs or more active pets get the exercise they need throughout the day.
About: I currently have 2 dogs + 4 cats! I love them and care for them like they are my babies. I always make sure I keep them stimulated and happy to ensure a healthy and loving life. I would love to care for and love your animals like my own! I am working per-diem starting in october. My schedule is changing but if you just reach out i'd be happy to share that with you! I am super flexible and can help you with anything! My dogs are very dog friendly and loving to almost all other dogs. They are very socialized to other dogs and cats. I can walk your dog, let them out, or you can drop them off at my house for daycare or meet me to exchange them as well! If your dog isn't dog friendly I would be happy to keep them separate and comfortable! I have a fence for the dogs to run around and play. I also have ties outs for the dogs as well. We live in a wooded neighborhood on a dirt road that is super quiet!
About: I’ve always had pets since I was a toddler. I’ve always took care of my pets, my grandparents pets & I’m really good with animals. I’m usually always available! I’m self employed and do instacart, doordash, Rover, Uber, Uber Eats, etc so I can usually fit anything into my schedule! I have a yard. (It’s not fenced in yet, working on it.) I’m a huge animal person so your animals will always be well taken care of & loved in my care.
“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”
About: My Roomate and I have been working with dogs our whole lives. We both work full time at doggy daycares as managers. I also have experienced in working with farm animals as well. We want to eventually open our own doggy daycare and thought that this was the best way to get started. We have experience in bathing, nail trimming, administration of medication and supervising large play groups between 5 to 60 dogs by ourselves. Including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. We have 2 dogs and a cat of our own. We take pride in providing a sweet loving environment for every dog and making sure every dog receives the needs personalized to them. We would love to meet your fur babies and give them a fun time to enjoy their vacation just as much as you enjoy yours. We look forward to hearing from all of you. We are available for drop ins, walks and overnight boarding in our home from Friday nights to Tuesday mornings. During the time that your pet is with us we will be home with them 95% of the time to make sure they get the love and attention that they deserve. We give every dog 24/7 attention and activities that suit every dog based on their own needs. We supervise any group play with dogs to make sure of everyone’s safety.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scranton
Given short notice, Veronica jumped into action and did an excellent job taking my energetic standard poodle puppy on walks throughout the day. It’s never easy to trust someone into your home and to care for man’s best friend, but Veronica did great and always stayed professional. Despite issues with her phone, she communicated early and often, letting me know how my dog was doing. Thanks Veronica, hope you consider walking Mufasa again.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Scranton is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $4 and $28 per walk.

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 Scranton. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Scranton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Scranton. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
