Dog Walking Brookside

About: I got my first dog at 10 years old and have loved them ever since. I love to help get them outside and keep them company. I work remotely and have flexibility to pop in for visits and walks during the days and evening. We also recently lost 1 of our 2 dogs and would love to find more dog friends in the area. We have one senior mutt who spends the day with me and my toddler at home. He is a rescue who can be timid and appreciates his space at times. We love to take him for long walks and make sure he is comfortable with his people and surroundings.

“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

“Dan and Stephanie are absolutely the best! Our dogs are so happy when they come to walk them. I'm thankful I get pictures and videos of their visits. They have been extremely reliable and flexible with our dogs needs. Thanks!!”

“It was our first time using Rover and Lindsey was an excellent companion and dog walker for our pit bull mix! Her report after each visit was thorough and usually included an extra anecdote about their time together and great pictures! Lindsey very concerned and asked for our advice when our dog wasn't eating much food when we initially left. We appreciated her initiative. When there was a big rain storm and they couldn't walk outside, Lindsey spent the time playing with our dog inside and gave him the attention and exercise that he needed. Overall a great experience and highly recommend Lindsey!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I take care of my 2 dogs at home, while helping out family and friends by walking and feeding their pets. I am graduating from college in May, currently work part-time, and would like to use my extra time to spend time with and play with your pets! I will come to your house to feed, play, and walk your dog(s). If your dog is car friendly, i would be more than happy to take them to a park. If you have a cat, I will clean their litter box, feed and give them water, I can also play with them if that is something they like.

“Tiffany was fantastic! She handled my last-minute request perfectly and kept me updated with adorable photos of my dog hanging out with her kids. My pup seemed to love their company. Would highly recommend.”

About: For 10+ years, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors. Growing up with rescue pets, I have experience caring for anxious and distracted dogs. I also have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs with disabilities. I have a love for all animals, and can ensure great care, attention, and love will be given to your pet!! I’m currently working remote 4 days a week, with Monday as my typical day in office, although the day is subject to change per week. When working from home or on the weekends, I can let the dog out frequently, walk the dog everyday, play multiple times outside, pet and brush when inside, and give lots of attention to. I’m available to pet sit on my day in office as well, but the dog would not be let out between the hours of 7am-4:30 pm. When I pet sit, the dog is typically within my sight at all times. When at the house, the dog will be taken out hourly and played with frequently throughout the day. The water bowl will be refilled at least twice a day when food is given, or more if needed. Little objects or any choking hazards will be out reach for the dog, as well as food and other dangers. Walks will be given daily if the weather permits, as well as constant pets. Your dog will receive a lot of love with me!!

About: I am a current kennel attendant at Camp Bow Wow and a volunteer at Kitty Queen Cat Rescue for many years! I have plenty of experience with all ages and breeds of animals! I am completely available outside of my doggie daycare schedule! It does change weekly, but I don’t mind squeezing your pets into my schedule! I am very well educated on the love and care that our furbabies need to thrive! I pride myself in my commitment to building a trust filled relationship with every animal I come across!

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.

“Alexis got along with my dog very well on their first walk. She is very good at communicating and sent pictures while they walked. Super pleased with Alexis and can’t wait to have her walk Mac again!”

About: Hi! I’m Karsyn, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been a dedicated dog mom to my Mini Australian Shepherd for the past 5 years, and before him I grew up with dogs my entire childhood. I truly treat my pets like my children, and I’ll care for yours with that same level of love, patience, and attention! When my dog was a puppy, I enrolled him in training classes, which taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, and positive interactions. That experience gave me a better understanding of how dogs communicate and how to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. One of my absolute favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos of your pets to you! I basically turn into the pet paparazzi and love snapping pictures throughout our time together. If you want one update, I can do that. If you want one million pictures, I can absolutely do that too;) I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family member, so I love sending lots of updates to give you peace of mind, and hopefully a few photos worthy for your camera roll! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have no breed restrictions. If your pup is a strong puller, that’s no problem-I’m confident handling energetic dogs on walks as well! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited to book again! I work full-time Monday-Thursday and have full availability for pet care Friday-Sunday. Occasionally I can come evening during the week after work when need be I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I’d love to care for your pet in the comfort of theirs! My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Expect lots of love, playtime, and PLENTY of photo updates. I have a slight obsession with taking pictures of animals so If you want one picture, I can do that. If you want one million… I can definitely do that too! 📸🐾

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was little. I played with them, walked the dogs when needed, fed them, cleaned out litters boxes or the yard. I’ve played with neighborhood pets too. I work at a hospital, nights. I work three days a week and my typical shift is 7pm to 7am. I get home, sleep for a couple hours, and then I get up. I can do pet care the moment I’m done with work or later in the afternoon. I have two cats personally. They are fed every morning when I wake up, and every evening my boyfriend comes to feed them while I go to work. They have dry food that they can graze on through the day, water bowls out in the kitchen, a clean litter box that is in my own room because that’s where they know. They go yearly to the vet for check ups and shots. And they are always given love.

“We love having Stephanie look after our pups. She has been reliable and the dogs absolutely love her and look forward to her visits. Thank you Stephanie, for looking after our dogs while we travel.”

About: Born into a family of dog lovers, some of my earliest memories are daily walks with my grandfather’s dog. I grew up with a black lab, a chihuahua, a shi-tzu mix, and a golden retriever, and now own a 12yo cattle dog-mix, socialized with humans and dogs, and extremely well-behaved and taken care of. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t immediately bond with and have watched the pets of family members, neighbors, and co-workers dozens of times over the years. Work full-time but available on the weekends and work from home with flexible hours Tues-Thurs. I live a dog-centric life. My own dog gets 3 walks daily for 2-6 miles (as long as the weather permits) Frequent walks, hikes, trips to the dog park, and plentiful opportunities to go outside. Been through a wide variety of doggy illnesses and injuries and happy to follow any instructions and specialized care your dog might require.

About: Hi there! I am a stay-at-home mom who traded in a full time career as a psychiatric counselor for the quiet life taking care of my son and our adorable pups. I have an undergraduate degree from Duquesne University, and a Masters degree from Cornell. I absolutely LOVE dogs, and it would be my joy to be able to spoil and love yours as well! We have a fenced in area of our yard to ensure the safety of your pup! I have always had dogs, growing up they were always part of my family. We now have three amazing dogs that we adore and love having as part of our little family. I am home all day, with the exception of an hour long errand a few times a week, so I am able to accommodate dogs of all needs! All rooms and surfaces in my house are dog friendly, and your dogs are welcome to play, lay, and snuggle anywhere they please. We have a crate if your dog should need some private space, but all of our dogs sleep in our bed so your dogs are welcome to as well! I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, training- all parts of being a loving dog mom! We recently moved back to Pittsburgh from Richmond Virginia and we live in a house with a beautiful corner lot & a fenced in dog area. I am home full time and would love to help take care of (and spoil) your pets while you’re away. I am flexible with scheduling and I would love to be able to help take care of your pets! I have three very friendly female dogs at home, who are cuddly and spoiled! We have a nine-year-old Havanese named Nala, a five-year-old Dalmation named Pepper, and a one-and-half-year old miniature Dachshund named Hoagie. As previously stated, our entire house is dog friendly and I am committed to making sure your dog feels safe and secure. We fenced in a portion of our backyard so your dogs can safely relieve themselves. We have a long lead in the backyard if your dog requires staying on a leash in the yard. We have a large yard with lots of room to run, and we love going for long walks in local parks!

About: I’ve loved dogs and been surrounded for as long as I can remember: taking them on walks, teaching them tricks, and tending to their needs 🐾 So, I’d love to step in and help with yours whenever/whatever needed. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to tend to your dog. I would also be available on the weekends, to pet sit or help with caring for your pup. I work from home! Happy to board pets here if it’s a good fit! I can stop by or stay at your house to take care of your dog(s)!

“Sarah has been wonderful. Super reliable and responds quickly. She's been able to help out with last minute requests from us, and she really loves our puppy. She sends adorable pictures with each walk and gives us an update on how he's doing. I'm so glad I found her!”
