Dog Walking Castle Shannon

“Elise is an awesome dog Walker. I trust her 100% with my dog Logan who gets along really well with her. I feel comfortable with her going in my apartment when I’m not there. She gives updates which I love and photos are a plus”

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

“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”

“This was my first experience with Erika. She'll be hosting my dogs overnight in a few weeks, and I wanted to ensure they'd be comfortable with her. The boys were immediately friendly toward her, and she asked a lot of great questions to get to know them and their schedule better. We walked them together, but she still sent me photos of the visit. She was on time and professional. Looking forward to our upcoming daycare appointment. I think the boys will be good to go with her overnight after 2 other visits.”

“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: As someone who is always trying to live vicariously through dog owners, 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.

“Ellie, is very reliable. She makes sure my senior pup has everything that he needs. She takes him on daily walks rain or shine. I appreciate her so much!”

“It was Dinki's first outing with Shanyasia and he was a happy pup! Thank you.”

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!

“Emily took great care of my Aussie Pippin while I was away and my husband was working. We will hopefully be booking with Emily again in the future!”

“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: I’ve had dogs since the age of 12. I currently have a ten-year-old special needs chihuahua, a four-year-old pit bull, and a seven-year-old cat. I’m currently in a transition period while I change careers. I am not working and will be off school for the summer. This allows me open availability. I have experience with crate training, command words, and other approaches to caring for dogs that allow me to adopt to the owner’s needs.

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 been around animals my whole life, especially cats and dogs, and I’ve always felt really comfortable with them. Growing up, pets were just part of daily life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. As a teenager, I used to walk a family friend’s dog, which I really enjoyed. It taught me how important patience, consistency, and trust are when working with animals. I also have a senior cat now who even moved across the country with me, so I’m very used to caring for pets that need routine and a gentle, steady approach. When I’m with dogs, I just try to keep things calm, safe, and positive. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, or hanging out for company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible throughout the week and can adjust my schedule as needed for walks, check-ins, or drop-ins. I like keeping things consistent for pets, so I do my best to stick to their normal routine and times whenever possible. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and familiar for them. I always follow any instructions exactly as given, especially for feeding, walks, and routines. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure everything stays clean and as you left it. With pets, I take my time to build trust so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re 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.

About: I've been dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and Family since my senior year of High School. I have dogs watched all sized dogs . I love dogs, dogs love me. I think animals are better than humans. I will spoil them with walks, love and treats while they are in my care. Recently let go from my work at a non profit. Thinking my of next move. Have free time now. Need something to do while I figure out my next move. I don't have a fenced in yard but I live on a flat easy walkable street. Im also a few miles away from several different parks. Your pets are welcome to lay and sleep on the furniture (its use to it) I have a big front window they can look out if they like. I can give them meds and shots if needed.

About: I have had a dog since I was 5 years old! I have taken care of my own dogs and others. I recently have taken care of cats, thanks to my friends who have them! I can walk, feed, take them outside and, if they get dirty, I can bath them! I have an extremely flexible schedule during the week and weekends to accommodate your busy schedule. Please allow me to work with you on a time that works best for us both! Rest assured that your furry baby is in capable hands and will be treated like family. I will ensure that your dog's well-being is my top priority. I'll create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog to thrive.

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! 📸🐾
