Dog Walkers in Castle Shannon, PA

“Sid has been walking our 100 lbs. Doberman for a couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. We were hesitant at first for someone to access our home while we were at work, but Sid very quickly made us feel comfortable. Sid has always been punctual, professional, great with our dobie and overall exceeded our expectations; highly recommend booking.”

“Elise is an amazing walker to have! I feel so happy to have found her through Rover. I feel very at ease leaving Josie behind knowing Elise is coming for her. Elise goes above and beyond with taking pictures and giving me updates on how she does during her walk. I would highly recommended using Elise, she is wonderful! Thank you so much for all you do with Josie!”

About: I have taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had my rescue dog for about 11 years now. He certainly has not always been an easy dog to take care of, as he was in an abusive home prior to my family adopting him. That being said, I have a ton of patience with dogs of all kinds, and want them to feel my warmth and love!! Additionally, I nanny, and one year the family got two new puppies. Throughout the day we would take them for walks that aligned with their abilities, ensuring that they got the exercise they needed but never pushing them past their limits. My experience with dogs varies from puppy to senior care, and I am very adaptable and flexible! This summer I will be nannying the same family Monday-Friday from 9am until about 4 or 5 pm. However, I am more than willing to walk your pet before and/or after I am done nannying (7-8 am & 5-wheneverpm) Currently, I have a dog that does not do too well with others dogs in the same vicinity… so I cannot house other dogs in my own home. However, I will of course follow whatever rules given to me to ensure maximum care for your pet!

“Wallis was very considerate to come and meet Murphy before our scheduled walk and visit. She was very dependable and came right on time to take Murphy out. I would definitely have her again”

“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 taken care of my dogs for about 12 years. I love all dogs big and small, long and short haired. I go on walks everyday and keep active. My favorite thing is to cuddle up with a dog after a long day. I can work 3-4 days a week during the day, and I am able to work all nights. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I can accommodate to others. I have an electric fence at my house, and a very well trained dog. I can listen to any and all rules at other clients’ houses. I give pets lots of love and activity. I feed and walk my dog twice a day. I clean up after him whenever it is needed. I wash him every month.

“Matthew was timely and really good with my dog.. it’s always a concern for me as my dog is a bit much but everything went smoothly! Highly recommended!”

About: I have been a dog mom for 4 years now but before that had a dog my whole childhood. I treat my dog like my child and will do the same for yours. I put my dog through training classes when he was a puppy which has helped me learn and understand how dogs think and act. Learning so much information about dogs mannerisms has just made my love for them stronger. No breed restrictions! I have a strong hold on leashes for pullers! 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 My dog doesn’t always get along with other dogs, so I will not be able to board anyone’s dogs at my residence but will be available to stop over and let your dogs out, play with them, walk them- whatever you need!

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.

“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 Kyna! I’m the proud human of Maple, my Bernese Mountain Dog, which means I’m very familiar with dog hair, muddy paws, dramatic sighs, and dogs who occasionally refuse to walk because a leaf looked suspicious. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. By day, I work in education and behavior support, so patience, consistency, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after the pets of family and friends, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow sniff walks, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping routines consistent. You’ll receive updates and photos because I know I’d want them too. I have experience with large dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, energetic dogs, and dogs who are absolutely convinced they’re lap dogs. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members!🐶 I’m currently enjoying summer break from work, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sniffaris, and pet care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and consistent. Whether that means sticking to a detailed routine, taking a leisurely sniffari, playing their favorite game, or simply existing in the same room while your cat judges me from a safe distance, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages because I know I’d want the same if I were leaving my own pet in someone else’s care. Fair warning: I may become emotionally invested in your pet 🐶🐱🐾.

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have provided reliable pet sitting services for friends, family, and others during vacations and long weekends. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have summers off from my job and flexible summer work, and I enjoy staying active during my days off. I would love the opportunity to support and assist others who have less flexibility and may need extra help during the summer with their pets. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for animals to run and play safely. My home provides a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets are closely supervised and cared for as if they were my own. I live in a safe neighborhood with friendly neighbors who are also animal lovers, which adds to the overall comfort and security of the area. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, bathroom breaks, and any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner.
