About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.
About: I have taken care of/owned dogs for 15 years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, as well as various breeds. I love animals of all kinds! I have also owned and cared for cats, reptiles, and small critters like guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and rabbits! We recently had to put our dog down due to illness, so I want to help other dog owners take care of their furry family members! I am a therapist and work a part-time, flexible schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening drop-ins throughout the work week as well as weekends! In my home, I have a yard with a runner or can take your dog out on their leash if you prefer. We have one story so minimal steps involved for older pups. In your home, I will ensure that I keep your animals safe within the environment provided. I will remain with the animal for the entirety of my time with them, and let you know immediately if I recognize any concerns for their safety.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, playing, bathing, walking, and even training young dogs with simple things. I was able to gain experience taking care of dogs because I have a dog of my own who is now a senior. I’m also a dog walker at my local animal shelter which allows me to interact with dogs of all ages and different behaviors. Aside from dogs, I also have experience feeding and playing with cats. I have two cats who are friendly, love cuddles, neck scratches, and are amazing with my dog! I’m a college student who commutes to school. I have more flexibility during breaks but throughout the school year weekends are what would work best. I have experience with both cats and dogs. This has allowed me to work with animals that have different behaviors. I believe that animals require patience and love just like any other being. If needed, your pet will be in good hands in my home since my cats and dog get along very well.
“Melanie was amazing with our dog Sugar. From her first greeting with Sugar until the last day of her stay, Melanie made Sugar feel like a special dog, playing with her and petting her before and after her walk. She also gave Sugar fresh water after each walk. One of the best things Melanie did was take cute pictures of Sugar during her walk and she uploaded them to the Rover app, so we were able to see Sugar in the wild each day. This was great. I give Melanie the strongest recommendation for anyone looking for incredible care for their dog. She is a star!”

“Allayna was wonderful. This was our first time using Rover, and we got the perfect dog walker. She was thoughtful, a great communicator, and left our dog very, very happy. She went above and beyond with little details like photos, finding towels when an unexpected rain hit, and sending us regular pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up and adored caring for dogs since I was 7 years old and cats since I was born! I enjoy spending time with them both outside and inside, and one of my favorite things is seeing animals that are happy and that are visibly loved and cared for! I am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh, so my schedule is pretty flexible on the days I don’t have classes. I am always happy to make your pets a priority during my day/evening. I love having pets and their parents feel the most comfortable! Whether that’s staying inside with them and playing on the floor, or relaxing with them outside and going on walks!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Whitaker
Sarah was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive through the Rover app and was so flexible throughout the whole process. She even took the time to come meet my pups beforehand, really listened to everything we told her about their routines and needs, and spent quality time getting to know them. One thing that really stood out was how thoughtful she was during the visit. My dogs don’t like going out in the rain, so instead of cutting the visit short, she stayed inside and played with them to make sure they still got plenty of attention and enrichment. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands.
Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!
Casey is an incredible and extremely caring person. She was amazing with Goose and it brought us so much joy to read her recaps and see the photos of him after every walk. She is extremely trustworthy and I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup! ♥️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Whitaker is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,413 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Whitaker. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Whitaker. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Whitaker after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whitaker. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
