Dog Walkers in Black Lick, PA

About: I used to work at an animal rescue so I’ve dealt with all kinds of dogs! What I learned from working there is that every animal is special and deserves all the love in the world. I work part-time at an elementary school. I typically work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so my schedule any other day is wide open. I just need the client to put in the request a couple days in advance! I am a college student so I live in an apartment with three other girls. The apartment is pet friendly and we have dogs over all the time! There is no fenced in yard, but there is a beautiful, spacious yard behind the complex. As for a client’s home, I will care for the pet per the clients request!

About: I've been been a kennel attendant for 6 months where I took care of dogs of all breeds. I've also learned how to administer medication to pets for different diseases I am currently unemployed so I will have plenty of time to make sure your pets are loved and cared for! I have 3 pets myself so I have plenty of experience! I've been working in the animal field for a little over a year, but have had my own pets since I was little. You can trust me with your animals because I love them as much as you do and don't want to see anything bad happen to them.

“Hope is very patient with Riley. I'm glad she is able to walk Riley. It's been too hot for walking this week but I'm hoping next week Riley can resume her walk”

“Bryce did a great job taking care of Niko on his morning walks while I was out of town. He was reliable, always on time, and kept me updated with pictures and texts, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely book with him again.”

About: I have a lot of patience when it comes to taking care of animals. I will spend extra time making sure your pet has everything they need and that they feel safe with me even while you are away! I have had many dogs and have been around a lot of cats growing up, and I feel super comfortable around all kinds of animals and cannot wait to meet your pets!! I have no problem with last minute requests or questions that you might have! I attend college and work part time, but my availability is flexible on week days so please reach out with any requests! I can usually accept any evening or weekend bookings and would love to help with any extra care you need for your animals! I am very passionate about animals and am super excited to meet and play with your fur babies!! The care I will provide is feeding, walking, letting outside for potty breaks, playing with them, and extra time just to have someone there with them! I feel comfortable around little dogs and big dogs like pitbulls and golden retrievers! With my pets I, pay attention to them, let them outside when needed, go on walks with them, make sure they have enough water everyday, and check for any unusual signs they may be showing. I plan on caring for your pets like they are my own and making sure you are up to date on anything and everything!

About: Hello I have always had a dog within the household that I have lived. We were raised with little dogs (shih-tzu, mini schnauzers, cocker spaniels).and when I moved out of my parents house; I have 2 dogs, one is an English bulldogge that I swear, she is a sassy toddler (she is 5). She is spoiled. She has been through several training courses. The other one is a rescue mixed blue heeler who is so affectionate. Both of them have individual traits that are cute in their own way. They have their own area called "The Woof Nook." The thing that sets me apart from other people is that I will love your dog as if it were my own. The dog will get whatever you want and I will go the extra mile for your dog. I am an energetic person who values kindness above all else. I have experience with training dogs as I had to train my dogs to do tricks together and seperately. I work 4 days per week full time as a mental health therapist/addictions counselor. I have 3 days off and feel that I could be utilizing my time more effectively. What better way to do that then to spend time with dogs and getting exercise! My dogs go for daily walks and sometimes I take them on hikes (if the weather permits). They also receive baths after a hike. My pups get treats if they listen and are well behaved. Sometimes just because they are cute. I will walk your pup on a short or long walk, depending on your preference. I will also talk to your pup and give praise.

“I can't say enough about Carleen. She set up an appointment before our trip to meet our dog and learn her needs. She was very reliable, always on time, and provided many photos of our Samoyed. She was very trustworthy and made our vacation stress free. She kept in contact and always responded almost immediately. Carleen is very knowledgeable and took amazing care of our dog. She really went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone for their pet care needs!”

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. All of my family owns a pup (or a few), and not to toot my own horn, but I’m always the go-to pooch auntie when visiting. Give me all the slobbers and toys, I’ll play just as much as them!!! My first job was as a dog groomer, soothing anxious or wild pups to cranky old woofers. 😆 I’ve dog sat for chihuahuas, pit bull mixes and Dalmatians. There is no dog too small, too large or too air headed (I’ve had my fair share of disoriented huskies running about the shop, only love to you)!!! I’m my schedule is currently quite flexible as I’m predominantly working online. I love going for walks and am available to do so at any point between 8am-8pm! I offer all other services, all you need to do is ask and share the times, and I’ll work with you to see if it would be a good fit for you and your pooch! I currently live in a two story apartment with two kitties. I am more than willing to stay with your pooch in their preferred and comfortable space, but am open to offering space if need-be and there are no discrepancies with my fur babies! (They are a bit skittish around bigger dogs, but have been around large dogs without issues before during past sitting experiences and when I travel with them to visit family)!

About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 4. However, at age 12 I got my first dog just for me. I took it very serious and have loved taking care of dogs and cats ever since. I have raised a few dogs and cats of my own since they were young, some since actual birth. I have also taken care of a family dog whom was blind and deaf due to being very old. I currently can’t welcome pets into my own home, but I love caring for dogs so I wanted to still find a way to care for them! On days like now when it’s cold and everyone is busy, I have no issue walking your dog and ensuring they still get the outside experience without you worrying about their safety. I am big on giving regular updates and treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m a part time college student! Pretty much free with all online classes. I occasionally go to the gym but besides that, I’m always home. Think of it like if I’m babysitting someone’s child. It pretty much is for many dog owners, I would know as my dog Nya was very much my daughter lol. But it’s very important that I ask all the necessary questions so I can care for your pet the same way you would. If you give them treated only during certain behavior than I will too. If you only walk them in certain areas then I will too. It’s important to not only make every pet feel safe and comfortable, but to create an experience that doesn’t feel to far from home. That way not only does the pet feel happy, but once they are back to their owner it feels like they never left.

About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and rats. I started pet sitting for family and friends at 15. Since 2024, I’ve been employed by a dog daycare and boarding business in Robinson Township. I work there on my between semester breaks from school. I am a full time student at Seton Hill University so my weekdays can be fairly busy. My classes typically end by 4pm Mon-Thurs, but I’m very involved on campus so my schedule tends to change week to week. I’m most available on Fri, Sat, Sun. I keep my availability fairly up to date, however I’m normally pretty flexible even if I mark myself as “unavailable” so always feel free to reach out and we can try to work something out! I am from Pittsburgh and staying in a dorm on campus so I am unable to provide services at my residence. All services would have to be provided in your home. I’m happy to ensure confidentiality/safety however you would like if your home has a key, code, etc!

About: Hello!💕🐈‍⬛🐱🦴🐶 As someone who has always had a passion and natural connection with animals, caring for animals is part of my lifestyle. There are plenty of pets in my family, and I am always the first point of contact when relatives are going out of town and need their favorite sitter to keep their fur baby company! Whether I'm visiting or staying over, I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and quality time. Although I am new to the Rover app, by no means am I new to pet sitting! I approach every visit with care, responsibility, and attention to detail. I stick closely to your pet's routine, so they feel comfortable and stress-free in my care, and I always prioritize safety, whether that's secure leashing on walks or double-checking doors and gates. I am very mindful of each pet's personality and behavior, and I adjust my approach to what makes them feel safest and happiest!

“Eilee has been really awesome with my mini poodle mix Louie who can be very suspicious of new people. She took her time on the first visit so we could make sure he got comfortable, and after just one walk Louie was excited to see her the next time - which is much faster than he usually learns to like people! I think that shows how great she is with dogs, even difficult ones!”

“Sarah is wonderful to work with. Great communication, accommodating, experienced and knowledgeable with animals, punctual, very friendly and definitely a dog lover! We have a 10 month old female German Shepherd who is sweet but very high energy and still learning discipline and manners. Sarah's interactions with her went very smoothly and Leia(our dog) adores her. 10 stars! :)”

About: I have a senior dog of my own who requires a lot of TLC! With him being 16 I am well versed in administering medicine to animals, giving them all the attention they need, and getting in some active time! I have also house sat and taken care of numerous dogs for a multiple day period! I have been dog sitting as a hobby since I was in high school! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, needs, and energy levels! I joined rover because I have an immense love for fur babies and getting to interact with all of them and take care of them fills me with joy! I am currently in college attending IUP. I graduate in December. During my semesters, my classes are all online so I am very available when it comes to my schedule! I also work part-time but the schedule is flexible as well so I can accommodate for any needs you have! With my work and school schedule being very flexible I am able to stop in for frequent potty breaks and check-ins! This allows me to also be very open for walks and stays! With offering services to watch your animal in your home, this allows for the dog to be more comfortable because they’re in their day-to-day environment! I will take the upmost care with respecting your home and not disrupting it!

About: Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life, offering comfort through tough times. I genuinely love being around animals and caring for them. (I allow animals on my bed I’m not sure how to change that ) I have classes, but your fur baby will always be my top priority. I’m home every evening to care for them, except Fridays when I’m working on the ambulance. Walking, feeding, watering, bathing and getting all their zoomies out. I enjoy walking and physical activity meaning they will be tired out by the end of the night.
