“I don't even know where to begin... Having just moved back to the Pgh area, I wasn't sure who to trust in taking care of my pup. Dmitra has provided me with the reassurance that she will take great care of Luna and give her lots of love when I am not around. Not only was she highly recommended but we are so happy to call her our friend!!!”

We love Brittani !”

About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.
“Kathleen was awesome! She met with me and my pup before our first booked date. She listened to my shpeal about my pup and didn’t mind my nervousness. I have a high-energy and high-needs dog who is not for everyone, but Katie brought her A-Game! My pup was so excited to see her every day after their initial meeting. When she needed to change the schedule, she was very communicative. We definitely want to book her again! - Finley, human to Maisie Moo the American Foxhound”
“Richard was great! He was very accommodating and I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my Enzo in his care. He was thoughtful and even brought in my packages for me. Will definitely use him again!”
“I’ve never had someone check on my dog in my home before. I am so glad I found Ashley and that she agreed to check in and walk my dog Kenya. I needed help last minute, and she agreed to walk my dog so quickly. She sent pictures and great updates about their walk and how Kenya did. I had peace of mind at work knowing that Kenya was getting her exercise and some affection. I will definitely continue to book with Ashley!!”
“Christof is excellent! I moved to the area and last minute needed to find a new dog walker. I contacted Christof the night before and he helped my dog the next afternoon! He let me know in advance his availability which I appreciate greatly because I am a planner. He follows all of my instructions perfectly and takes into account my dog's senior age, quirks, the weather conditions, etc. to make sure my dog is as safe as possible. Dogs are great judges of character and my dog has been happy with Christof from the moment they met. My dog and I are thrilled to have found Christof! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pet care!”
“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!”
“Claire was great in accepting a walk booking for my Winnie at a time that was just hours away from my same-day request in a pinch and really helped me out when no other Rovers could. She was prompt, prepared, and very kind/patient and I would absolutely book her again.”
About: Hey I’m Nick! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently work at a doggy daycare, so I’m very experienced with pups of all personalities and sizes. I treat every dog like family and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I left an availability schedule on my profile! Here’s a key to read it! Key: Green = Available Red = Unavailable Yellow = Dependent on circumstances I will check dog bowls for food and water hourly, take them for a walk, clean up yards, and do any other tasks that I am given!
“She is fantastic! She is now my weekly dog walker for my two dogs.”
“Amazing! kirsten took great care of my pup/daughter/princess and made sure she was always smiling and well hydrated on hot days. As a new young professional to the area Kirsten has been able to adjust her schedule to help me when I have to travel at a moment’s notice. Once again, does an amazing job!”
“I truly cannot express how grateful I am to have Kayla as my Rover Rockstar! Kayla consistently goes above and beyond every booking with excellent communication, compassion, and service to our three pets. Kayla also takes the time to upload thoughtful, candid moments of our animals, making my anxiety of leaving non existent. I couldn’t recommend Kayla enough! 11/10!”

Allison was so responsive and great, and able to accommodate a last-minute request! My dog Honey had an amazing walk, looking forward to booking again 🥰
Ben is just simply the best! I trust him 100% with my chocolate lab, who can sometimes be shy and timid. He always sends me updates, and is very responsive with any concerns I have. Thank you Ben, you’re awesome!
Elise was fantastic! Very communicative and Beanie loved her! Looking forward to having her walk Beanie again soon!

I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pet care!
Alex is WONDERFUL! My dog notoriously barks at EVERYONE who passes by and comes in the door, but Alex walked in and knelt down and he was immediately comfortable with her. She’s kind, gentle, responsive, and trustworthy, and I really appreciate that my dog gets a good run around outside when my work days are long.
Megan was wonderful. She was quick to message me if there was a problem and took swift action. I highly recommend her if your looking for someone to take great care of your furry family memeber
Rachel's been doing recurring weekly dog walks for us for a few months and has been great. She's been reliable, punctual, communicative and very flexible when our scheduling needs have changed. And she's sweet and patient with our maniac of a dog. Would absolutely recommend!
Mandie did very well with our really shy COVID-19 rescue pup! We hired her to walk him and take him around the neighborhood, so he can get experience with other people. She did very well with him. She also did a great job with Tasha, our Siberian Husky, who just loves a good walk around the park!
Brandy was very communicative and easy to collaborate with! Really appreciated her great photos and updates when I was out of town. Would definitely reach out to her again!
As always Charlie was dependable and communicative throughout the weeklong dog walking service we requested- avoiding an off leash dog at the park, and leaving the tv on the channel our cats and dog like. 10/10
Nicholas saved the day! He was able to cover last minute when a friend was hurt and couldn’t walk her dog. Pup got a great workout. Would recommend!
