Dog Walking Troy Hill

About: I’ve been a dog person my whole life and this past July I said goodbye to my soul dog of 14 years, Cici Pup. It's in her memory that I have space to treat your dog like royalty... just the way Queen Cici demanded. 👑 I have an almost fully fenced-in yard with no other dogs around. I will customize my schedule to best fit your dog's needs, ranging from super active walks & playtime, to chilled out naps & snuggles. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time to give your pup attention between meetings and emails. My day job is in social media so you can guarantee to receive Instagram-worthy photo pupdates while your dog is with me. I’m super active and love a long northside sniff walk. I’m often available for early mornings, lunchtime visits, and late evenings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and needs. My home is set up really well for dogs, with an almost fully fenced-in backyard and a covered deck for relaxing outside. I’m on a quiet street in East Allegheny, with cute spots around for treats like Garden Cafe and ACB. My apartment is on the second floor of a house, so there are stairs to get in and two steps inside the apartment as well.

About: Hi I’m Caroline! I am recent grad of Pitt’s Counseling Program and a Cat Mom of 2! I have many years of experience in caring for animals of my own and visiting other people’s homes for pet sitting. I am available for check in visits and walks and I am able to feed and give medication, and spend a little extra time playing with your furry friend. I also love taking care of cats and will clean up after both cats and dogs. I work with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I will also check your mail and packages and turn your lights on and off, water plants, etc. if you are out of town. I can’t wait to work with your pets! I am currently transitioning from school to work and have pretty open availability throughout the week, especially early mornings and later afternoon/evenings. Saturdays remain pretty open as well, while Sundays are often booked for me. I am experienced working with animals of a variety of temperaments across settings. As a Mom of two shy cats, I am very patient, while always ready to snuggle and play!

“Nikki was our best rover booking yet!!! She came over three times this week for lunchtime walks. She was super attentive and even gave us some recommendations on how to keep him entertained. Nikki is very knowledgeable and caring, especially with little puppies. Would highly recommend booking her.”

“Great communication, interacted well with dogs, and got us out of a tight spot at very short notice after our regular Dogsitter/walker had an emergency.”

Daniella S.

“A corgi expert! Ivy had a great time with Cheyenne. Cant wait to have her back!”

Alexandra T.

“Danielle was easy to communicate with, got along great with the dogs, and went above and beyond to give them exercise on a stormy day by coming back by once the rain had stopped to let them out again. I will definitely hire her more and highly recommend her.”

Jorie K.

“Maria was fabulous. She was consistent and kind and Kev fell in love with her. She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily feedback on his walks. We will definitely reach out to her again!”

Kerri W.

“Amanda and her son were great with Nash! He loves little kids and I’m sure it made his day getting to play! She was super responsive and was able to take Nash out last minute which relieved a lot of stress when my prior arrangement fell through the night before. Would definitely recommend!”

Rachel L.

“Riley is always super helpful and flexible when caring for my dog!”

About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

“Thanks so much for walking Turtle! Even in cold weather, Tiffany made sure Turtle got his exercise and bathroom break! Very grateful and will reach out again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love getting to know each one’s personality. I grew up with a dachshund for nearly 14 years, which taught me the responsibility and consistency that great pet care requires. As I got older, my dad and I also hosted dogs through Rover in our home, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs in a home environment, helping them adjust to new spaces, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I also have hands-on experience working in a dog daycare, where I supervised playgroups of 20+ dogs at a time. I managed group dynamics, kept play safe and positive, handled feeding routines, cleaned up after dogs, and moved them between spaces. That experience made me very confident in reading dog body language and stepping in early to keep things fun and safe. I’m active and love walks, playtime, and just hanging out with dogs. Whether your pup wants to run around or relax and get attention, I’m happy to match their energy. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how they’re doing! I’m a CMU student who loves spending time with animals outside of class. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, so I can keep things safe, calm, and positive. On walks, I stay aware of other dogs, people, and anything that might be stressful or overstimulating. During home visits, I stick closely to your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Because of my daycare experience, I’m confident handling multiple dogs, recognizing early signs of stress, and adjusting quickly to prevent issues. I’ll also keep you updated so you always know your pup is happy and in good hands.

About: Hi there! I have about 3 years of experience caring for pets for family. I regularly cared for my sister’s dog Titan while living in Virginia. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, runs, and trips to the park while always keeping their safety and comfort in mind. I am responsible with feeding schedules, cleaning up after them, giving them attention, and making sure they eat properly. I treat every pet with patience and care and will keep owners updated while their pet is with me. I’m currently waiting for my new job to begin, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of dates and times. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding times, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of companionship. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never overlooked while they’re with me. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog can enjoy a calm and peaceful environment without the stress of unfamiliar animals. My apartment is clean, quiet, and comfortable, and I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions and do everything I can to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.

“Ally was great with our puppy, providing updates, and being flexible with our requests. She was great to work with. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Jeff A.

“Emily was our long term walker for around 8 months. She was always on time, formed a bond with our pup, and went above and beyond to take him on long walks! She’s also great on overnight visits, and made sure our pup felt safe in an unfamiliar environment. Her communication is great, and we highly recommend her to care for your pet!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I recently graduated from college and moved to the city, and I’m excited to continue spending time with animals through dog walking and pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My family has Dane Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds, but I also adore small dogs like my aunt’s two mini dachshunds. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important routines, exercise, patience, and affection are for dogs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands! I work full-time, but my schedule is similar to shift work. I have open mornings and the occasional free weekend! Pet care is something I enjoy, gets me outside, and is a little bit of exercise all at once. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide updates (and lots of pictures!) so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. My goal is for the pets to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. That means sticking to their routine, staying in familiar environments, and being aware of the surrounding stressors. I am great at following clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter box care, and any special routines their pets are used to. I also keep homes clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I can provide services at the client's home; I don't have boarding facilities.

About: I had my family dog for 10 years! He was a lovely black lab mix and I frequently walked and fed him as well as play. I also have my own 3 year old little gray tabby cat who is full of energy and snuggles:) I am currently a full time music therapist with UPMC! I work primarily Sunday- Thursday so have full availability Friday and Saturday as well as evening availability during my work week As I am not able to bring animals in my apartment, I will provide primarily at home services. I am comfortable crating, taking for walks, feeding, playing and basically all other in home pet services!

About: I cared for my family dog for years, and other dogs in my home neighborhood until I moved out. I get so much joy from being around animals. I have never come across a stray cat that didn't want to be my friend. I don't currently live with any pets which is why I am eager to petsit so I can spend time with some wonderful dogs and cats. I have a lot of free time during the week for extended stays or multiple drop-ins in a day. I love animals and I will give your pet all of my attention, and be sure they are loved and cared for. I am a respectful guest and I will always leave your home cleaner than I found it

“Linn is so sweet! This was my first experience with Rover and I’m so thankful that I booked with Linn. She went above and beyond and met with me/my dog a couple of days before walking her, just to ensure that my dog would recognize a friendly face coming to walk her. You can tell Linn is a total animal lover and is great w dogs. Wonderful communicator, can’t recommend highly enough!”
