“Great communication, punctual, sweet with my dog, productive walks (poop & pee everytime!) and provides good updates ! And helps with last minute bookings when she can. Big fan of Abigayle!”

About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!
“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 have grown up caring big and small dogs of neighbors, friends, and family and will always let your dog take the lead when getting to know me. I am a very active person and love being able to give your furry friends their exercise with long walks, playing outside, or even runs! I will diligently follow any instructions/guidelines you set for me and will be sure to send thorough feedback and pictures for each visit. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule varies a bit throughout the week. I will always be communicative about times I’m available to ensure your pets receive the best care. I consider myself an extremely thorough and reliable person and will follow all guidelines and instructions concerning your pets diligently. Important aspects of care, like diet, medication, and more will be followed accurately to ensure the health and safety of your pet.
“Jordan has been wonderful to work with! I feel so comfortable leaving Finn with her, and he seems to welcome her company. She’s also very responsive and gives detailed summaries. I definitely recommend her!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I have a 1-year-old cat of my own, help care for my boyfriend’s two pitbulls, and my family has two shih tzus, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also regularly pet sit for neighborhood furry friends, and even while attending boarding school in Boston, I cared for local pets there as well. I am committed to your furry family members’ happiness, comfort, and well-being. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and attention. My genuine love for animals and strong attention to detail show in everything I do—from keeping routines consistent to sending regular updates and photos—so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a recent graduate currently working part-time (4-6 hour shifts) while studying for my personal training certification, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of free time. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I can consistently handle feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning tasks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I take care of feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, and playtime based on the owner’s instructions. I also keep the home clean and provide updates so clients know their pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals in my hometown area since I was 10 and am very happy when interacting with pets. I started by walking dogs and eventually started taking care of pets overnight. I am taking college classes, so I have free time when I am not in class. Every day I have a break big enough between classes that would allow me to care for a pet. I am happy to learn how to care for a pet in its own home and to hear about the pet's preferences and needs in their home.
“Kassandra did a wonderful job taking care of my dog for the weekend. She sent multiple updates and pictures over the time spent with him. She shows a lot of care and attention!”

“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!!!”

“Ashley has been incredible walking my fur baby 3 times a week while I have been recovering from surgery. She is super communicative, very sweet, and Mira immediately was comfortable with her. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets and have a lifelong love for dogs! I have experience dealing with both anxious and energetic dogs, as well as managing animals that frequently run away or get out. I have a 9-year-old Westie and I am experienced in administering her medication daily. I have also lived with other senior pups in the past. As a student, I will typically be available for walks weekends. However, my schedule is flexible and I am open to working out alternative arrangements that work best for you! As a lifelong Pittsburgh resident, I am very familiar with the local neighborhoods and know the best locations for walks! I love to stay active and am eager to spend more time outside with the dogs in my neighborhood.
“We were in Pittsburgh for our wedding and were lucky enough to book with a few days notice. She was responsive and communicative. Very easy to book with and seemed capable of handling our awkward and anxious catahoula tripod.”


About: I’ve cared for animals for years, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand how important routine and consistency are, and I always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I’m available for the weekends and some week nights! I’m available for boarding and walks to make sure your dog is very comfortable! I live in a clean, spacious apartment with easy access to outdoor areas for walks and bathroom breaks. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize regular walks and supervised outdoor time to keep pets active and comfortable. I maintain a calm, safe environment and always follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions closely!
“Thanks so much to Lara for filling in when my dog walker was out of town. It was so appreciated and I will certainly be contacting her again in the future for fill ins!”

About: I have had the pleasure of working as a pet care attendant for two separate boarding facilities over the course of 6 years! I also have a few years of experience working as a vet tech assistant! I have lots of experience with animals with different medical needs and have had dogs all my life! I currently am working short part time shifts only a few times a week. Other than that I am available to walk, feed, and play with any pets that need it! I have no other animals in my home, and live near plenty of green space as well as some dog parks for walks and play time!

West Oakland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Claire was great with our shy dog, Mimi. She has a really warm, friendly energy, which helped Mimi feel more comfortable and confident with her. Claire showed up right on time, followed our instructions closely, and was especially attentive to the notes we left about bunnies in the neighborhood since Mimi loves to chase. We really appreciated how prepared and careful she was. We were so happy she could help us with Mimi’s walks for two days, and we’d absolutely book with her again. All the stars! Highly recommend!

Aniela was absolutely incredible with our dog, Lucy! From the moment we connected, she was warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with caring for pets. We received regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter. Thank you, Aniela!
