Dog Walking Alleghany West

About: Having grown up with a dog in the home, I love the little moments of joy with our canine friends but also understand the attention and care each dog needs. Whether your pet is rambunctious and playful or needs more gentle care, let me know how I can best make them comfortable and happy. My availability varies seasonally; I'm an educator, so normally my weekday availability is limited to late afternoons and evenings. Weekends are very clear and flexible for me. In the summer, my schedule is wide open, so feel free to book me for those much-needed summer vacations! When I am dropping in to your place or staying to house sit, I approach your pet -- especially one who's new to me -- with care and gentleness. I double-check instructions each day to make sure I provide top-quality care.

“This was my first time using Rover and Anna made it stress-free! I have a large great Pyrenees mix with a ton of energy and Anna was comfortable with her which eased my worries. She communicated throughout the week and was flexible with my schedule. My dog loves her and looks forward to their walks together and I can work worry-free knowing she’s in good hands”

“Stormy is so amazing! We got together for an introductory so my dog would not be put off by a stranger taking her out. I absolutely recommend booking with Stormy; such a great personality and is very accommodating!”

“Danielle is great! Very responsive to messages and very accommodating to our needs, even with last minute changes due to bad weather or scheduling issues.”

“Sabin was absolutely great in walking my Ellie. I had an odd situation where I needed a walker while Ellie stayed with my elderly Dad who could not walk her easily. Sabin was very accomodating and left a very positive impression on both me and my Dad. He was professional, kind and trustworthy. I will definitely contact him again in the future.”

“Lauren was great! My pup can be reactive with other dogs and it was awesome to have someone I can trust to be attentive while walking him. Will absolutely book again 😊”

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets for friends and family. I'm attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. It doesn’t matter if it’s feeding, going on walks, or playtime, I provide patient and reliable care. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make time to give every pet the attention they need. I’m most available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I can provide reliable care, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship during those times. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s care instructions. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency by keeping pets in a clean, secure environment and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

“So grateful for Paulina coming through for us last minute again. She's also so patient with our rowdy large puppy. I would definitely recommend her service!”

About: I’ve always loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 5 cats and 1 dog! I have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own as of now! I was able to fully train ( tricks and potty) my dog before he reached 4 months. I’ve rescued a few dogs and cats before and am always feeding stray cats in the neighborhood My schedule is pretty open as of right now! I can pretty much do whatever works best for you and your pets! I love taking care of animals I currently reside in a two story apartment with plenty of room. I live right across from a big field where I like to take my own dog at least once a day to run and exercise.

“Rhea was wonderful with Steve, her communication was quick and reliable. She has a great manner with our dogs, and Steve loved their time together!”

“I ended up booking this the wrong way and I booked it as a walking so it cost me way more but it was worth it knowing that my baby was in good hands while I watched a concert. My walker was patient kind and did everything I asked and my dog came back happy happy happy. What more can a puppy parent want? She was fabulous. BOOK THIS YOUNG LADY!!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10! I’ve always had 3-4 pets at a time so I understand the high/low maintenance, the picky eaters, and the ones that need medical assistance. I personally have dogs that have medical issues and have to make sure their needs are met constantly. I’ve worked on a farm so I have great experience with all types of animals. Neighbors and friends rely on me #1 to walk, play, feed, and take care of their pets. I currently work part time. I will have plenty of time during the day to play, feed, walk your pups! I’m an early bird so if you’re looking for someone early in the mornings, I’m your girl! I will follow whatever your protocol is for your pets! I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with me. I look forward to meeting all of your furry friends!

About: I grew up with multiple dogs and so have had experience since youth walking, feeding, and caring for them. In my adult life I have co-owned one dog for around 6 years and worked to house-train him and correct some behavior issues via positive reinforcement. I have also owned multiple cats over the past 16 years including raising one from kittenhood to adulthood. For the past 2.5 years I have been volunteering regularly with the in-house dogs at the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) Gray's Ferry clinic. My responsibilities include giving the dogs ample enrichment time outside by playing with them and positively reinforcing good behaviors, as well as feeding and cleaning up after them. I have worked there with all different dog sizes and age ranges, including puppies and seniors. I am available for check-ins mornings, mid afternoon, and evenings as well as overnight care as needed. I am not currently available for boarding dogs at my home. I do not accept sitting requests for unspayed/unneutered dogs. I currently do not own any dogs but I do own one high-anxiety cat whose behavior is being managed well with daily medications mixed in with his food. I'm very patient with both cats and dogs and am always ready to give them plenty of space to approach me and begin to feel comfortable with me in their own time. I am comfortable caring for dogs via feeding, walks, playtime, and medicating as needed. For cats I can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime or just hanging out, and medicating as necessary. I have experience pilling cats if the cat's personality allows for this.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Cane Corsos. I genuinely love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’ll treat your pet like family, providing dependable, patient, and attentive care every visit. I work a stable full-time schedule, which allows me to easily plan pet care into my day. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I always communicate with owners and stick to their pet’s routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you provide. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust, keep a close eye on their behavior, and maintain a clean, secure environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Elijah is great with my dog Beckett! They've been on a few walks together so far and I hope for them to go on many more together. Beck is a very energetic dog and we are still working on training but Elijah is very patient with him which is super appreciated.”

About: Hello! I have worked with animals all my life and realized how much of a passion I have for them! I have worked at an animal rescue, dog shelter, and have become a foster for over 200+ dogs and puppies. Currently work from home full time and care for my dogs and puppies. My day typically starts around 6:45am/7:45(at the latest) I am able to walk them, take them to my neighborhood dog park, do training, socializing and of course play/loving time. Since i am home all day i do offer to take non-potty trained dogs i will just need a heads up that they are not potty trained yet. I have had alot of experience with different temperaments, health conditions, behavioral issues, and breeds please give me notice ahead of time and I will accommodate for what will be best for you fur baby. I do have 2 dogs of my own which are very dog friendly of all sizes and ages. If you are not comfortable with your baby cross interacting NO PROBLEM! They will be in a complete different room and will get plenty of water, walks, potty breaks, and play time! I currently work from home so I am home all day to care for any and all fur babies. I currently run off of a tight schedule starting between 6:45-7:30am going up until around 11pm typically. I make sure each dog is introduced properly. Everyone must be walked on a leash and collar and/or harness at all times outside of my home. Everyone is fed in a crate or separate room unless litter mates.

“Yulia is a really great and caring dog walker. She was very kind to our young pup and also helps to get him trained and obedient. Will certainly use her again.”

About: I have had three dogs throughout my life with my family. In January 2025 I got my own dog, a mini dachshund. She is my baby!! I have always loved being around dogs and taking care of them. I am a student part-time, which allows me lots of time to dog/cat sit! I am available most hours of the day, and am flexible with coming over mornings/nights. I will follow any instructions given regarding coming into the clients home and taking care of pets. I am very consistent and will always be on time!

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to three wonderful cats, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including walking dogs, caring for cats during vacations, and looking after puppies and dogs with all types of different personalities. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving oral medication to my own cats, and providing lots of exercise, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates. I’ve also worked with anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and helping them feel secure. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re getting lots of love, attention, and probably a few extra belly rubs (if they’re into that!) Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work full-time, but I work from home twice a week, which gives me extra flexibility to provide additional attention and care during those days. I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When I’m caring for your pet, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I’ll always communicate clearly and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, respect your home as if it were my own, and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether that means giving medication, sticking to a feeding schedule, or providing extra patience for an anxious pet, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.
