“Aimee is great with our dog Tex! Will continue to book with her as able. She seems to go above & beyond to make him feel comfortable on walks as he can be a little shy. Highly recommend!!”
“Ann was super responsive and very accommodating. Thank you!”
“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life through a blend of routine, dedication, and joy: Pet care is woven into my daily schedule. These activities are as regular as any other task, from morning feedings to play times and walks. I ensure that each pet’s needs are met consistently, maintaining a balanced routine. A safe and comfortable environment, giving plenty of personal attention while respecting their personal space, constant health monitoring, a consistent routine, cleanliness, and an emergency plan.
“Carol was amazing! She was able to walk my dog on short notice. Carol was kind and helpful and my dog loved her. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Carol!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since childhood. I moved to Pittsburgh within the last year and am not able to have dogs in my apartment, so would be delighted to walk yours! I have been walking dogs in the area through another app since January. I have a flexible work schedule and am widely available for walks during the week and weekends. I have a car and can drive to other locations as needed. I don’t have any pets in my home because my landlord does not allow them. I am comfortable with walking dogs all over Pittsburgh, and sitting for them at their homes when needed.
“Shannon has walked bear 2 times now! Despite the snowy cold weather for the first walk, Shannon was still willing to walk bear, which I really appreciate! Took photos and followed all the instructions I gave about giving treats! Thank you!!!”
“Rosie and Rory immediately took to Ashley. They enjoy spending their days with her. She is very attentive to their needs and is doing some additional training with them. We’ve done walking, drop ins and doggy daycare. We will definitely continue to work with Ashley.”
“Sid has been walking our 100 lbs. Doberman for a couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. We were hesitant at first for someone to access our home while we were at work, but Sid very quickly made us feel comfortable. Sid has always been punctual, professional, great with our dobie and overall exceeded our expectations; highly recommend booking.”
“Krista is amazing! She has been walking Scout now for a week and I have nothing but good words. He earned Scout’s trust immediately. Scout loves her!!!!! ☺️😍🥰”
About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.
About: Hello! My name is Allison, and I’ve had a passion for all animals since I was a little girl. I’ve always volunteered at local animal shelters, and I’ve been trusted to take care of countless family/friend’s pets for as long as I can remember, as well as being a caring momma to my own fur babies throughout my life! In the past, I’ve had pets with health issues, so I’m used to giving medicines/shots if needed. I have a unique schedule, I’m a Private Flight Attendant and I only fly an average of 9 days a month, sometimes less! I usually have a pretty good idea of my schedule, and when I’m not flying, I’m home all day every day making sure my pup gets lots of love, attention, cuddles, and exercise! I am home more often than not, if anything I leave for 1-2 hours rarely to run some errands. I currently have one pup I rescued two years ago named Drexler who is my pride and joy. We typically go on multiple walks a day, and have a few dog parks walkable from our house where he has lots of friends. We also have a fenced in turf backyard & upstairs balcony- we love to spend a lot of time outside! My dog Drexler LOVES making friends and being social, he’s extremely friendly and gets along with everyone/everything. I decided to come to Rover and offer my time/services considering I’m in an extremely lucky position with a lot of availability and lots of extra love to share! I can accommodate almost anything, and Drexler and I would love to meet your fur babies!
“Marcela and her partner walked my dogs daily while I was out of town and they did a great job. Very communicative, kind, and my pups were well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Adam walks my rambunctious golden doodle during the week and we’re so fortunate to have his help! He’s organized, professional, and takes great care of Honey. We know she’s in good hands and he makes sure she gets all the exercise she needs. Highly recommend his services!”
“Devin was so incredibly patient with my little girl. I had just adopted her and he walked her when she was still skittish of everything. He took his time with her and let her guide what new boundaries they were going to test for the day! I am incredibly grateful he was her first walker and would highly recommend him, particularly if you’re considering a walker for a shy dog!”
About: Growing up, my father had 7 dogs at any given time. Big dogs too. I can handle whatever your dog throws at me, because I'm basically a dog care veteran. I'm going to be working a part time unpaid internship soon, but a girl has gotta earn money to live in the city and go to college. I have the utmost respect for anyone who might invite me to care for their animal. I will repay that trust tenfold by making sure your dog is safe and healthy. I'll follow whatever specifics you have regarding your pet to the letter. Also, plenty of pets and love for your dog no matter what.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 9 years old. I had a senior doggy that I recently had to put down and I miss having time with a doggy. I’m able to do drop in visits, walks, feedings, in morning and evening or anytime on weekends. I’m in graduate school, I’m free early morning 7-10 am and anytime after 2 pm and all weekends are open. Flexible to you and your pets needs! I will not be able to to have pets in my apartment due to lease restrictions but I will do whatever is needed to make you and your pet feel comfortable in your home!
“Hannah was fantastic! One of our dogs had a small paw injury, and she was very careful with him; he'd improved a lot by the time we got back. So great!”
“Rachel was wonderful and took great care of our girl! Her communication was excellent. Definitely would book her again!”
“Kimberly is the sweetest with our little anxious pup! We trust her 100% with our baby and will definitely be return clients. She is amazing and I am so happy to have found her! Thank you Kimberly!”

“Tessa is amazing with pets! Tessa was always excellent with my rambunctious puppy - she was playful, patient, and helped me get through some tough puppy days. Tessa was also a wonderful and caring owner of a sweet senior rescue dog, and has cared for several other pets throughout her life. Outside of her experience with animals, Tessa is also a great person to work with in general. Tessa is easy to talk to, very receptive to concerns/questions, and will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable. She is extremely kind, helpful, and reliable. I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! She will take great care of your pets and treat them like family.”
12. Allison P.
“Allison would make a great dog walker! She is truly the more caring person I know and puts everyone in front of herself. She has a dog herself who is her whole world.
