Dog Walking Blackiston Mill

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

About: I’ve watched over pets for family and friends for years. My spouse is grew up with multiple animals in the home. Our children have such a love for animals that we want to offer them the opportunity to get to know, love and care for pets in our community. This opportunity may also teach them the responsibilities they can expect when we adopt. Between the 4 of us, we will have plenty of time to devote to hanging with your fur baby. We are available most days with advance notice. We have a fenced in yard and will mimic their normal routine as much as possible. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved.

“Excellent care of our high energy dog! She is on time and wears him out in a great way! Highly recommend.”

About: I am a dog whisperer and a teacher. I am a husband, coach and father that will put your animals wants and needs first always! My family and I have dogs. 1 large breed, 1 medium breed. I walk them daily, work on commands and love playing in the backyard. I have a tall, fenced in backyard where the dogs play. I work on commands in the living room. My dogs have a designed sleeping area for our dogs.

“Was on time and very nice. Cleaned up after the pup on the walk and took good status pictures. Great communication. Will definitely be booking again for walks when needed”

About: My passion for caring for animals started at a young age. I spent many hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well as having the privilege of caring for my own pets at home. Growing up, I raised reptiles, fish, dogs, cats and hamsters….to name a few! In addition to being a down-to-earth, compassionate human, my friends would say I am trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furbabies (we can probably just call them children at this point, right) :) I am a very active person and enjoy walking, hiking and spending as much time outdoors as possible. My schedule is very flexible which would allow me work around yours! I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend!

“Sarah does a great job walking my Rottweiler. I highly recommend her”

“Reanna has been walking my dog twice a week for several months now and she is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely responsive to booking requests and very communicative when I need to move things around or she needs to adjust the schedule. Louie loves her and it's clear she loves him, too. It's great to have someone I can trust help my dog get some energy out while I'm at work. I highly recommend Reanna for dog walking and any other pet care needs!”

About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. While I no longer work from home, I still have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home, as I have done for my own dogs 😊 I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.

“We have previously used Penny for our dogs, one is our old guy, blind and needs special assistance. She is so kind and caring with him, sends pics as well. She goes above and beyond! Will for sure be using her again.”

About: Having grown up caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, I understand how much your pet(s) mean to you and am willing to go above and beyond to keep them happy and healthy while you are away! Most of my clients find me through mutual connections rather than Rover, hence my lack of many reviews and repeat clients. I have been pet sitting regularly for over two years now, and have multiple regulars who are happy to serve as references! In addition to my experience caring for personal and client pets, I have also worked multiple positions in vet med. This has given me a unique insight on animal health and care, and can give you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I am currently a full-time student pet sitting in addition to my “regular” job. Despite my busy schedule, I always try my best to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s individual needs! Whatever your pet’s day-to-day looks like, I will do my best to keep things as “normal” as possible to keep them comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. Currently I have thirteen fur/feather babies. Two cats, one Australian shepherd and ten chickens. My pup just turned a year old so I have more knowledge with younger pups. Can't wait to meet your fur babies! I am a stay at home mom and have flexible availability. I can be there for your fur babies practically whenever you need me! I have better weekday availability, while weekends require planning ahead. Whether you need me to walk your dog, come over to ease their anxiety or simply let them out to potty, I can meet all their needs. Or if you have a high energy dog like my Aussie, I can get some of that energy out by playing with them while you are at work.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, usually multiple at a time, all shapes and sizes. Your pup will receive top-tier, attentive care with your instructions followed to the letter. Beyond that, expect plenty of walks, play sessions, cuddles, and adventures. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any timing mornings, evenings, weekends, you name it. I work around your needs and will always make your pet my top priority. I have a friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends! When watching pets in your home, you can expect to come back to everything exactly as you left it, if not a little cleaner. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

About: I have 3 dogs, 2 Australian Shepherds and 1 Chihuahua. All the pups are 9 years old and love meeting new pup friends. They love to perform tricks and run around the back yard. I am a stay at home mom (but I will not bring them with me) and my husband works remote so I can be flexible. I have trained them to do tricks and have manners. I am also available to let out dogs or take them on walks. My schedule is very flexible. I love all animals and have had dogs all of my life. I like to walk my dogs every day. I am a stay home mom and my husband works remote so I have flexibility in my schedule and the ability to do my services during normal working hours. I prefer to not stay in the home overnight. I will always greet my pups and friends with a friendly smile and loving pets. I will make sure they are fed, have plenty of water and time to play with me. I think walks are important so I will take them on a walk unless told not to.

“Ryan is the most reliable, communicative, and helpful dog Walker and sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He took care of my dog like she was his own, and always gave me prompt and detailed updates. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! Ryan is absolutely the best!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life with most being rescues. I volunteered in care & fund raising for an Animal Rescue League. Dogs are the most amazing creatures. I’m retired Registered Nurse so I’m home most of the day. So your dog’s care is a priority in my home I have one 50lb dog- Ollie. He is a loving fellow that gets frequent walks and plays fetch in the back fenced in yard. He loves other dogs so your dog will have plenty of fun active things to do & lots of snuggling. I have a 6 foot privacy fence around my back yard. Your and my dog will be safely walk on leash outside of the yard. In home dogs are allowed on furniture and bed if this is normal for your pet.

About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs my entire life. Trained my current dog Frodo since he was puppy. Got him to get along with cat siblings too! I'm currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets needs. I'm willing to spare as much time as I can for the pets. While I cant house any pets at my own house due to hyper (but friendly!) pets, but I intend to treat every pet and house as my own.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I am my family and friends go to person when they need an extra hand. I have recently just moved to Pittsburgh & looking for a job so I thought this would be a nice way to make some extra cash. I don’t have any animals at the moment but would love to care for yours. I do have a small yard in the back and love to go on long walks

About: I have had pets of my own all my life. I volunteered for an animal shelter in my hometown for years and got both of my cats there. I love animals more than anything in the world. I’d love to play with your pets and provide them with the best care. I have many references available if you want to know just how amazing my animal sitting has been in the past. I grew up with Shih Tzus and a Pitbull, so I’m comfortable with small and big dogs! I am very responsible and hold my work to the highest standards. I am new to this area and looking for ways to fill my time. I am also a registered nurse and work in the pediatric ICU. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. Thanks so much! I’m visiting home between work contracts, so I have a lot of time on my hands with no current job! I would love to fill my time with some cute animals. My cats rule my house and are allowed on all furniture. I will abide by all rules of owners though and carry on your guidelines. I can crate dogs if needed or correct for bad behavior.

“Mariah toon extra special care of Obi and did an excellent job with him! She went the extra mile and made sure he was ok while I was working since he had an upset stomach this morning. 100% would recommend her to anyone.”
