Dog Walking Bruceton

About: Special needs pets are my specialty. With over 10 years experience in the veterinary office and a previous 5 years in Kennel/Shelter medicine, there isn't a pet sitting request I can't handle! Over the years, I've owned and/or cared for pets with multiple health issues, including, diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney disease multiple cancers, heart conditions, urinary issues (both incontinence and blocking), along with pregnant and nursing moms (dogs and cats). The majority of my pet care is done in your home as I try to keep your pet's time/environment/schedule with me as consistent as you have it. My schedule is quite flexible as I've recently decided to take a sabbatical from the veterinary office to recharge and reprioritize. I look forward to meeting you and to caring for your furbabies.

“First time using Rover with two dogs. Emily was great, and explained everything with lots of pictures! Would highly recommend her to anyone, and will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Sheena filled in for my regular dogwalker when they were on vacation and she was great! It’s apparent that she loves animals and connects with them quickly! Always so sweet and communicative. I will definitely use her services again if/when needed!”

About: My partner Jack and I love caring for pets! Both of us have been caretakers for pets practically our whole lives, including senior pets and pets with special needs, in addition to small animals like rodents and birds. Whoever you need help with, we’re more than capable. We are so excited to get to know your pets. With us, your pets will get all the attention and exercise they need during your busy day. We are both very attentive to your pets needs and do our best to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We know just how important your companion is to you, so safety is taken into consideration at all times. We keep dogs on leashes at all times when letting them go outside. I work as a barista at a coffee shop and Jack is an employee at Pitt. Together our schedules allow us to have at least 1 person home for most of the day. On rare occasions when neither of us are home, at most we are away for 3-4 hours. We have a large yard with a lead and 2 cats. Our house is moderately sized, with room for playing and relaxing. We are attentive to feeding schedules and potty breaks.

“Angela and Lauren are great! They are reliable and friendly!”

About: Hello! I am a pediatric nurse in Pittsburgh. My primary job allows me to be flexible! I can come for walks and visits during the week. I have been helping out with family dogs all my life! I work full time as nurse, however I work three twelve hour shifts a week so I have flexibility! I can be available during the weekdays while you are at work! I would love to drop in for visits/take your dogs for walks! I would happy to sit for a while to keep them company. Whether that’s playing or giving them cuddles.

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: 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.

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.

About: As someone who is always trying to live vicariously through dog owners (my parents were allergic), I have been a reliable and eager puppy and cat sitter since I was young - for friends, coworkers, neighbors, and extended family. I have experience and am comfortable feeding and exercising large and small dogs, puppies and seniors. I have always had cats, and have plenty of experience with administering oral medicines and asthma treatment. I am comfortable with cleaning messes, longterm stays, overnights, and honestly whatever else is needed during your time away. I would love to send pictures and updates of your pets as much as you would like them - your pets become main characters in my life within minutes of meeting them! I am your introverted, nurturing childless millennial that treats every animal with endless attention and love. As a speech-language pathologist, I also think that understanding animal communication and respecting boundaries are key. If your pet is showing me they need space, I will listen to them and make sure they are well fed, their needs are met and a soft presence is near. If they are showing me that they need more love and attention, I will stay and give them more love and attention! I can’t wait to meet your furry family. Right now, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I’m a teacher on summer break and transitioning into a teletherapy position, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the day. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible, so I make it a priority to learn each pet’s normal schedule, preferences, personality, and needs before their owner leaves. In a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes and outdoor areas as needed, administer medications when required, and make sure pets receive the exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship they have when you’re home. I pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being. As a speech-language pathologist, communication is a big part of my professional life, and I bring that same attentiveness to the animals in my care. I believe good pet care means respecting boundaries, recognizing needs, and responding appropriately to what an animal is communicating. I also love sending photos and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, loving environment and to care for your pets the same way I would hope someone would care for my own.

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 provide personalized care for every pet experienced with puppy training routines and gentle senior care, including medications and extra attention. As well as my overall love for animals. Between my two dogs, part-time gym work, and online training clients, I live an active, structured lifestyle that fits perfectly with flexible and reliable pet care. I’m based in Pittsburgh with access to great dog parks and walking trails, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air, playtime, and attention while they’re with me

About: **Currently looking to find more drop-in and dog walking clients! Let me know if you're interested in these services! 🐶** I have been a dog lover and owner all of my life. I already watch my friends and family's dogs on a regular basis, and I'd love to do the same for you! Dogs only please! I can't accept cats or house sitting requests at houses that have cats around as I am very allergic. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule to make sure your dog gets the proper time. I will always treat your pet with love and respect like it's my own. I take the care of my own pet extremely seriously, so I understand how important they are to you. I am happy to respect any specific wishes you have for them in your time away.

About: I’ve had ten dogs over the last 19 years and have fostered over 60 dogs in that time as well (maybe more!) Today, my pups are Sunny, Luna, Wicket, Lily and her son Dumpling. I most recently became a doggie midwife for the first time when our foster dog Lily (who came from a pretty intense hoarding situation) was found to be unexpectedly pregnant! I raised Dumpling, Snickerdoodle, and Cookie from October to March this year and have found it strangely quiet around here since (most of) the puppies have moved to their new homes. I love animals, work with a dog and pig rescue (and have been in rescue for almost two decades as well). I am also lucky to have a sister-in-law who is a vet to answer my questions. 😆 I'll stay in touch and send you ALL the pictures, of course! As any good animal lover would! I was recently laid off from my VP job in education research, so while I am doing flexible consulting work, I figured, why not do my favorite thing and hang with some awesome animals?! I am rather flexible for additional work like this and an experienced pet mom and foster dog mom for a local Pittsburgh rescue. In my home, we do have a fenced in yard, but because we currently are in progress of preparing our home for sale, I will be sitting in other homes for now.

“George G. did a great job, taking our dog on extensive walks every day. He handled our untrained puppy very well and from the picture that was sent showed a happy puppy!”

About: I have been petsitting since I was in 7th grade (for walkable neighbors until I could drive!). I have experience taking care of and giving medication to young and old dogs and cats (pills and ear/eyedrops). I’ve watched senior dogs and puppies just a few weeks old. I have an especially good way with cats (especially skittish or standoffish ones) but I have plenty of experience with both. I have been called a cat whisperer more than once in life! And while I hope I don’t need to demonstrate this skill for you, I have done more than my share of flea baths on cats and dogs. I’ve been vegetarian 8 years and animals have always been my favorite thing about life. I work Mon-Fri from 8am-12pm, so I have almost my entire day and weekends to spend time petsitting. After that my only other obligation is petsitting! I am able to come by your house however many times a day you see fit, and I always love to just hang out with your pets for a little while to keep them company while you are gone! I am willing to do walks, baths, or just chill out depending on what your pet and your schedule is usually like. Since my other job is done so early in the day, I am able to stop by as often as you’d like.

About: Spent my freshman year at college in a club that trains and dog-sits service animals. I have two cats of my own and oftentimes take care of pets of family and friends. I feel as if it is necessary for each dog to be catered to their exact needs and understand the time and effort it takes to care for these animals. I am determined and dedicated to make your animals feel loved because they are a part of your family, and for the time that we spend together they will be treated as a part of my family as well. Prior to meeting your pet I would love to chat about their recommended exercise and play time so that I can accommodate accordingly. Any other questions, feel free to reach out to me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to stop in for daytime visits and provide care throughout the day when needed. My schedule also gives me the opportunity to spend quality time with your pet during each visit, rather than just completing the basics and leaving. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and communication, and I'm happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I have been dog and house sitting for over 4 years. I love animals and will treat your dog like my own. I do have 2 dogs so I understand the importance of routine, especially while their people are away since it may be a confusing time for them. I love exercise so I’m comfortable with dogs of varying energy levels. I work full time but I am available for most mornings/evenings during the week and most weekends. Please contact me to work out specific dates/times :) When I care for dogs, I usually let them run around the house or my fenced in back yard if I’m home. I also have a designated (large) room for them to hang out in if I’m leaving the house or in case they need some quiet time.

About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve owned a boxer for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, feeding, playtime, and understanding dogs’ different personalities and needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, check in on, and care for their pets while they were away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I recently finished student teaching and currently have interviews for teaching positions throughout the summer, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most weekdays and have open availability on weekends as well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines to help pets feel relaxed while their owners are away. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also keep a clean, safe environment and treat every pet like they’re my own.
