Dog Walking Allegheny West

About: I’ve been a dog person my whole life, from growing up with Winnie and Hairdo to caring for my soul dog Cici (Khaleesi) for nearly 14 years. I lost my sweet girl in July and now I have a whole lot of love to give without anywhere to put it. 🥹 Your pup will be treated like royalty with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention... just the way Queen Cici demanded. 👑 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.

“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!”

About: I've had hands-on experience caring for animals at different points throughout my life, primarily helping friends and family with their pets. My experience includes caring for, helping raise, and working on basic training with dogs and cats. I've also rescued and raised a baby mouse, which taught me just how much patience, attentiveness, and compassion even the smallest animals need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand how important it is to know your companion is safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, play and enrichment, litter care, companionship, and following an animal's established routine and care instructions. I respect that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and way of communicating. Some want lots of interaction and affection, while others feel safest when given space and allowed to approach on their own terms. I pay attention to those cues rather than forcing interaction. I'm dependable, attentive to detail, and respectful of both the animals in my care and the homes I'm trusted to enter. My goal is to give your pet compassionate, individualized care while giving you peace of mind when you can't be there. I work a rotating schedule which gives me multiple weekdays and weekends off throughout the month. On my days off, I can offer more flexible availability for walks, visits, companionship, and house sitting. I keep my Rover availability updated so pet parents can see when I'm available, and I value clear communication when coordinating care. I understand that caring for someone's pet also means being trusted with their home. I take that responsibility seriously and will respect your space, privacy, household rules, and pet-care instructions. I pay attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, routines, and anything else needed to keep your pet safe. I also believe trust should be built with the animal. I'll allow your pet to become comfortable with me at their own pace rather than forcing interaction, while staying attentive to changes in their behavior or needs. Clear communication with pet parents is important to me, and I'm happy to provide updates while you're away.

“Maria was wonderful, my Maca enjoyed her walk.”

“I cannot recommend Alex enough. Alex was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and thoughtful with his visit. He takes the time to provide real care and attention.”

David L.

“I cannot say enough about Gabriella. She is incredibly professional and has such amazing, positive energy. We have two beagles, and from the very first meet and great, they felt completely comfortable and excited around her. Which says a lot! It is truly clear that she knows how to connect with dogs. Every walk last week seems to have gone smooth, reliable, and based by the pictures I received, full of happy tail wags. I feel totally at ease knowing my pups are in such great hands. Highly recommended.”

About: I have had dogs all of my life that were all gotten while they were puppies. Have taught so many fun tricks that I can pass to your best friend too. I’m currently available at all hours to take care of your best friend(s). Though I am active my trainings and games usually keep me busy for a maximum of two hours. I have a nice and safe apartment with easy access to outside and a quick walk to Point State Park will give them all the grass they could ever dream of.

About: Hello there, I am a certified Veterinary technician, I have been in wildlife and small animal care for the past 14 years while dog sitting on the side. I am new to the Pittsburgh area and looking to find new clients! My previous experience includes zookeeping and wildlife rehabilitation in the Boston area for 7 years and then working for a professional dog sitting/hiking company in Medford MA for another 5 years. I moved to Pittsburgh to get my CVT (Certified Veterinary Technician license) in 2024, and now work at a lovely little small animal clinic. I am well versed in animals with complex medication/therapy needs, such as insulin administration and exacting medication timing requirements. I am also very experienced with exotics, particularly birds. I work full time Monday-Friday so I am primarily seeking weekend and holiday pet-sitting arrangements. I am also happy to work in drop in cat care around this type of schedule as well. I cannot currently offer in my own home pet care due to landlord request, but I have been dog/cat/house sitting in clients homes for 14 years and am experienced with maintaining specific pet routines and training schedules. I have a leave no trace policy when it comes to other peoples homes. I am also very happy to water plants and manage aquarium care as needed. I also do not drink or party, I just need a sofa and a good book.

“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”

Joy J.

“Ben communicates well and does well with CC. He even has taken his dog on walks with her which she loves. I’d recommend his as a dog walker if you are in need.”

David C.

“Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.”

Alicia M.

“Ya a was so great! She gave regular updates and sent pictures when walking my dog Stella. She event went above and played with her. I felt like my dog was so well taken care of while I was away. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’m Amy. I grew up with two dogs in the family, so understand the responsibility, care, and routine of having a pet. Since moving away from home, I’ve become my friends and roommates go-to pet sitters when they travel, and would be happy to give your animals the love they deserve while you’re away. I work as a barista Wednesday through Sunday, so often have an afternoon or a morning free to pet sit. I’m available to overnight sit I’m not set up to adopt my own animal yet, so I am eager to help care for other’s animals when needed! I approach pet sitting with as much love and patience as possible, sensing what your baby might need while you’re away.
