About: I have had dogs in my household since I was a baby. I moved to pittsburgh in 2021, and before that was living with my parents who had four dogs! Right now, I have 3 cats. I love to dogsit and spend time with other people's babies! I have experience in dog sitting, and have spent some time working in dog daycare/boarding. I am currently not working a typical job so I am available 7 days a week most weeks and can spend all of my time with your pet if needed! I am dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy by keeping a close eye on them and making sure that they are loved and cared for.
“Madaline does a great job walking our senior corgi. She is responsive and keeps us fully informed on how he is doing. It’s obvious that she really cares about animals and we’re happy to have her as our walker!”
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 am a non profit professional with a fully remote work form home job who is passionate about animals. I have been caring for pets professionally for over 5 years (mainly dogs and cats). My profession requires working with children in schools so I maintain state certifications and background checks. So rest assured your home and animals will be safe with me, in addition to having quality time together. I have my own dog, Richard and he’s my best friend. He’s a 10 year old golden retriever lab rescue mix who loves to sleep, go on walks and play with other dogs. If you’re interested in pet sitting with me, he’s always down to meet other dog friends (with a meet and greet visit prior to make sure it’s a good fit, of course). The care and wellbeing of your pets is my number one priority, which my reviews and testimonials can attest to! I live in close proximity to many dog parks and walking paths. I understand how stressful being away from your pets can be, so I ensure to provide a photo and text update every time I see your animal. Having a remote job allows me the flexibility to be with your furry friend as long as need be to put you both at ease! I currently have a remote, work from home job from 8-4PM. This gives me the flexibility to do multiple check ins, lots of walks or snuggles or all of the above to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I live close to many dog parks and love to play with animals. I care for your pet like they were my own and love to make them feel comfortable and like they’re on their own doggy vacation!
About: Hi! I would love any experience and I love all animals. I also have a very flexible schedule! I would love to help anyone I can! I can help out most days of the week. Mostly mornings or afternoons, but working during the day on the weekends works perfectly for me! I love all animals and treat any I meet like my own! I would not mind having to respectfully visit client’s homes if that is needed!
About: We are a Mother (Brooke 44 yo), Dad (Joe 51 yo) and 2 kids (Clementine 9 yo and Indigo 6 yo) who care for your pup with kindness and fun! Cauliflower, my childhood dog, was one of the joys of my life and now, I get to share that joy with my kids by taking care of your beloved pet. We are a flexible, homeschooled family willing to take jobs during the day and on weekends. We value slow living and try our best not to overschedule our lives, leaving room for opportunities like pet care. We have a loving home and can cater to your pet’s needs. We love giving your pet exercise and play time which comes effortlessly for our 2 kids :)
About: I’m one of those people who will remember your dog’s name long before I remember yours (apologies in advance). I’ve had dogs for much of my life, including my Golden Retriever and a Lab (who passed over the Rainbow Bridge due to old age). Still grieving those losses, we foster dogs through Bark About It Rescue, which include long-term fosters who lived with my family for months at a time. All that being said, I’m very familiar with the walks, the zoomies, the stubborn streaks, the mysterious things that absolutely MUST be sniffed, that treats and scritchy-scratches are life, and the fact that every dog comes with their own personality and quirks. I’m an equal-opportunity dog lover — from little cuties with attitude to big, goofy pitties and everything in between. I’m comfortable with energetic walkers, rescue pups, and dogs who are shy, cautious, or need a little extra time to warm up. I don’t expect your dog to immediately love me. I’m happy to earn it. I also take the responsibility seriously. You’re trusting me with a member of your family — and, in many cases, your home. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your dog’s routine, keep you updated, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention while they’re with me. And yes, there will be photos. Lots of photos. I work full-time in nonprofit comms so photos are just what I do. Whether we’re getting some serious miles in or your dog’s idea of a “walk” is spending 20 minutes investigating three mailboxes, I’m happy to follow their lead. You handle the schedule. I’ll handle the walks, belly rubs, poop bags, and photographic evidence that your dog had *the best* dog day. I work from home two days a week and am home on weekends, making Thursday through Sunday (with some additional flexibility) my best days to connect with your pup during the morning, afternoon, or evening hours. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their surroundings and body language, and respect your home and routine. And please tell me all their quirks and favorites!
About: I grew up living with cats and loving dogs, so transitioning into pet care in 2014 was a no brainer. During my years of dog walking with a DC based company, I met everyone from leash reactive large dogs to old dogs that needed to be carried down the stairs to do their business. I am no stranger to medication management and have cared for dogs with anxiety, dietary restrictions, UTIs (hello, vet visit!) and even terminal illness. I’m very communicative and I will absolutely send you photos of your pets. I can’t wait. At the moment, my only regular obligations are local comedy shows/mics at night and the occasional bartending shift if someone calls out. Other than that, my schedule is your animal’s schedule. My primary rule of thumb is to leave any place in at least as good of shape as I found it. I’ll sleep wherever you deem best and keep to your pet’s routines regarding food, exercise and medication. I will not invite anyone else into your home. Just let me know where any clean up tools are for cleaning up potential pet messes.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs & cats since could remember, around 10 years plus. I have pets of my own and they are my world. One dog named Luna and a black cat named bean! I own my own cleaning business and make my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility\! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies and work around their routines and needs\. 🐾 I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and locations whenever possible! I live in a safe & quiet neighborhood, in a apartment in Edgewood area. I love all animals and would treat yours like my own.
“Naomi H. was awesome for walking our two dogs. She was thoughtful, reliable, and flexible when we needed to make changes. We highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”
About: I’m from LA, where I worked for a dog hiking service where we started each morning with a group hike, came back home for daycare, and boarded dogs overnight. I love all dogs, big + small, and know how important it is for them not just to be well taken care of, but happy! Now it’s just me and my dog (Micho) in Pittsburgh exploring the trails around the city, and we would love to bring your pup along! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule + take multiple walks a day, short hikes a couple times a week, and longer day trips on the weekends. Because I only take one dog at a time, my time will be completely devoted to your dog for one-on-one play, walks, snuggling, and everything in between.
“Meghan is very gentle and sweet. She did an excellent job communicating with us and took great care of our pup! She was prompt and I felt very comfortable having her in our home.”
“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.
“Fantastic walkers! They took great care of both my dog and cat while I was away on multiple occasions. They sent video/photo updates and were very reliable. Will continue to book again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wilkinsburg
Daniel was absolutely incredible in every way. We hate leaving our dog Wilson behind, but it makes it less painful when we have such a responsible, communicative, kind, and reliable person like Daniel to walk him while we are gone! We got detailed updates, lots of pictures, and most importantly Wilson looked extremely happy to be with Daniel every day this week. I would highly recommend Daniel and we will definitely see him again soon!!!
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.

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.
