Dog Walking in Central Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, PA

“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”

About: TLDR: I am animal-obsessed and will take good care of your babies! I am located in Central Lawrenceville and work from home. I am a cat-mom to Galax (9) and Zuzu (5) and have cared for many cats and dogs through Rover over the past two years. I also have experience watching friends dogs and cats over the past 9 years, and worked at a doggy day care for a short time where I helped care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and abilities. Now, I work from home which gives my cats and I time to bond and play. I am also able to notice any slight change in behavior, which is crucial to being a cat owner as most cats hide sickness very well. I look forward to giving your babies attention and caring for them while you're away and fully understand that it can be nerve-wracking to leave them. Ultimately, it's my goal to understand your pets boundaries and provide the best care possible given their needs. As long as I have enough prep time and clear instructions, I can commit to visiting your animal up to two times a day or as needed. I am particular with who cares for my cats when I am out of town, and expect the people who I will Rover for to be the same way. I always walk the caretakers through detailed instructions of how the cats should be cared for and emphasize that they need much more than just someone to feed them. I also understand that every animal is different and it’s important to respect their boundaries.

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and even had a ferret at one point. I am a dog walker and cat and dog sitter (or cat walker if you would like!). Some of my current clients have been with me for 5 years. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I can drop in after 3 on most days since I am a student and weekends I am more flexible so I can work around your needs. I have a closed yard for my German Shepard and my cat is strictly an indoor cat. We use a mixture of dry and wet food for both animals and have frequent potty breaks for the dog.

About: Customized Care: I tailor my approach to each pet’s individual needs, from dietary preferences to specific routines, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life through a blend of routine, dedication, and joy: Pet care is woven into my daily schedule. These activities are as regular as any other task, from morning feedings to play times and walks. I ensure that each pet’s needs are met consistently, maintaining a balanced routine. A safe and comfortable environment, giving plenty of personal attention while respecting their personal space, constant health monitoring, a consistent routine, cleanliness, and an emergency plan.

About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes

“Riley is always super helpful and flexible when caring for my dog!”

About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.

About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

About: I LOVE playing and running around with dogs and am happy to take your dog on long walks or on a romp in the dog park. I'm currently on sabbatical, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pets... and I will because I miss my pet time! My husband is allergic, so Rover is how I get to spend time with furry friends. For dogs, I keep an eye out for dangerous situations when on walks with dogs and ensure that we give a wide berth to any possible threats. For cats, I make sure that I respect their boundaries and don't stress them out as we're getting to know each other. I am also very careful when entering and leaving to ensure they don't escape.

“Shannon is an absolute gem! As a newer dog owner and a very new member of Rover it’s been so lovely to have someone take the time to explain everything. I’m a fairly anxious dog parent lol and Shannon has reassured me at every step of the process. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“Chloe has been incredibly reliable, helpful, and excellent at communicating! I'm so grateful that she's been available to walk our dog Ace while my partner and I are away at work. Ace absolutely loves Chloe, and we love that he gets great walks and attention when we're away!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve learned how to provide the care, patience, and love each dog deserves. I’m now a proud dog mom myself, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, some playtime, or extra snuggles, I’ll treat your dog like my own. I have a flexible schedule, am extremely detail oriented, and am excited to help you with your pet care needs! I currently work completely remote with a flexible schedule and am happy to do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I am an early bird and can also come to check on your pup later at night if needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m always attentive on walks, keeping a close eye on surroundings and using secure leashes and harnesses to ensure your pup stays safe. I also always make sure to take the time to ensure your dog is comfortable with me before taking them out.

“Parmy was happy and tired after her walks!! Will use Ronnie again!”

About: I had a dog myself when I was younger and often looked after neighbors and cousins dogs while they were out of town. I’m doing this because I like the company of an animal and will treat it well while it’s in my care I work full time and are away from my home approximately 8:15am to 7:30pm. I could be available for and later evening walk but my weekends generally to not have plans so I will be available for a lot more care during that time. I live in an apartment but there is open grass space in the complex and throughout the neighborhood. I would enjoy a long walk or visiting a nearby dog park with any pet.
