“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!!!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes

“Alexandra is great! She has been my twice weekly dog walker for about a month now. She communicates extremely well and is very reliable.

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs of all kinds, including reactive pups and those needing medication. I truly love animals and take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Working from home allows me to be flexible and fully present—your pet gets real attention, not just a quick visit. I work from home so I have to ability to step away to care for people’s pets. I am also available most days and times It’s more than just walking dogs or making sure they have food and water. I want them to make sure they know they are cared for emotionally as well and get some energy out by playing and interacting
“Elena did a great job. Bart is already in love.”
“Shannon is an absolute gem! As a newer dog owner and a very new member of Rover it’s been so lovely to have someone take the time to explain everything. I’m a fairly anxious dog parent lol and Shannon has reassured me at every step of the process. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
About: I have been housesitting and taking care of dogs and cats since high school. Whether it be going for walks or just cuddling with them in the house I have had experience in all areas. I have an 85 pound 1 year old dog of my own so I have experience with larger dogs in addition to smaller dogs. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals or take them on walks whatever is needed. I will make sure to keep your pets safe just as I would my own dog. I will keep them safe whether it be in your yard, in the house, or on a leash.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve learned how to provide the care, patience, and love each dog deserves. I’m now a proud dog mom myself, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, some playtime, or extra snuggles, I’ll treat your dog like my own. I have a flexible schedule, am extremely detail oriented, and am excited to help you with your pet care needs! I currently work completely remote with a flexible schedule and am happy to do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I am an early bird and can also come to check on your pup later at night if needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m always attentive on walks, keeping a close eye on surroundings and using secure leashes and harnesses to ensure your pup stays safe. I also always make sure to take the time to ensure your dog is comfortable with me before taking them out.

About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.
About: 🐶 Having been surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for their care. Growing up with dogs and raising my own, Harlow 🐾, from a puppy, has given me firsthand experience in fostering their well-being. My passion for animals extends beyond personal experience—participation in clubs at the Pittsburgh Zoo 🦁 provided me with valuable insights into animal behavior and care, further enhancing my knowledge. Being from Pittsburgh, I am fluent with many resources for me to enjoy with pets. 🐕🦺 My pet care journey started in 2014 with my first job at a dog care store on Butler Street, where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. During my internship with the Water Authority in Bradford, PA, I dedicated my lunch breaks to volunteering at the local SPCA 🏠, offering love and attention to animals in need. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated, knowledgeable, and empathetic sitter. 💛 As a remote, part-time engineering student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for my pets. I can easily fit dog walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine, ensuring each pet gets the attention it deserves. My love for animals and adaptable schedule make it easy to prioritize their well-being. I currently care for two dogs, my mother's and her boyfriend's, and have hands-on experience managing their daily needs. At home, I ensure a safe environment with our fenced-in yard and always prioritize the pets' well-being. For my clients' pets, I’m adaptable to their specific routines, whether that involves feeding, walks, playtime, or creating a comfortable space. Every pet in my care receives love and attention tailored to their unique needs.

“Sydney has been a lifesaver. I have a 65lb AmStaff with separation anxiety. When I go out of town or gone for the whole day I needed someone who I trusted to stop by to walk and be with Charlie. I met Sydney several years ago and she has helped me so many times. Charlie loves her, is attached to her when I’m not around, and I know I can trust her in my house but more importantly with my dog. Anyone looking for a reliable dog walker/caregiver Sydney is the best choice. Reliable, quick to respond, respectful of your dog and house, you won’t be disappointed.”

Natalie was wonderful with Harper, and took Harper’s needs into consideration (Harper has anxiety). I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker!
