Dog Walking In East Carnegie

About: I have experience working with many types of animals, including reptiles, cats, dogs, small mammals, amphibians, and birds. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and live with many of these animals, which has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’m currently a college student and work part-time during the weekdays, so weekends would be the best time for me to provide pet sitting. I’m happy to offer reliable and attentive care for your pets during that time. I always make pet safety and comfort my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they have a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give plenty of exercise and playtime, and make sure they receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow any specific instructions for medications, routines, or special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

“Ann was excellent!”

“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've had cats for over 20 years, all of my adult life. I'm expert at giving medications. I've also owned smaller dogs. I subscribe to positive reinforcement training. I live in the heart of Dormont. Have experience with cats and small/medium dogs. I drive so no issues with transportation. My availability is open! I prefer to watch your pet(s) in your home. If you leave me a schedule, including food, treats, play, and walk times, I will stick to that precisely. I feel that pets not only need a routine, but they do much better in their own environment. If there's an emergency, I will be able to bring them to my home. Obviously communication will be key, and this is only for extenuating circumstances (if I feel they are unsafe due to unforeseen situations). My goal is to continue their established routine, so when you come home, there will be a smooth transition.

“Thank you Kathleen! I had a last minute change of plans and needed someone for my dog Truffle. Within hours, Kathleen stopped over and made sure Truff was let out, walked and has food and water before she left. I felt so much better after she was there. Appreciate the help! Truffle looked happy as well. :)”

“Kristin is a gem of a find. From the moment she walked into my house to have the meet and greet with my pup, she proved she is a pure dog lover. My pitbull mix loved her instantly and I know he’s in good, caring hands. I’d recommend Kristin 10 times out of 10 ✋🏻🤚🏻👉🏻”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats most my life and have cared for many friend’s and neighbor’s pets. I love dogs, cats, and even bunnies and will care for yours like they were my own. I have plenty of experience teaching my dogs tricks and good behavior along with giving them medicine and treatment when needed. I currently work part time and am a part time online grad student working on my masters degree from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On my days home I’d love a break to care for your pet or enjoy a nice walk together! I currently have no pets of my own and can come by to care for your pet whenever you may need. I work well with all pets big, small, young, and old as long as they are non-aggressive.

“Lauren has been a blessing! My dog is older and she takes her time with him out on his walks (he sometimes doesn't walk so well). She is considerate, professional, and I just love her!!”

“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”

Joy J.

“Ericka was such a huge help and was so responsive. We look forward to working with her again when we are in Pittsburgh. Thank you so much for your help!”

Michael S.

“Maria was wonderful, my Maca enjoyed her walk.”

“Great communication and sent lots of pictures ona last minute dog walking request for my old girls!”

About: Hi! I’m Angelina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals — honestly, I prefer pets over people sometimes haha! I’ve had my fair share of pets growing up (basically a zoo at home😅), and currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I’m very experienced around furry friends 🐾 I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always try my best to match their energy — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also make communication a priority and will always send photo updates of your furry friend so you can feel comfortable and connected while away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I currently work full-time, but I’m typically available in the evenings and weekends! I always make pet care a priority and will make sure your furry friends get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’m very communicative and reliable, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos🐾 I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home, so I’m very familiar with managing multiple pets and understanding different temperaments and needs. I always prioritize safe introductions, supervision, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and stress-free.

About: I don’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had with a dog was with a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite my lack of experience I am willing to learn. My love for animals in general is why I am open to learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was old enough to walk. I currently care for my own Husky-shepherd mix who I’ve had for his whole 9 years of life. I’m not afraid of any size or breed of dog and I’m certainly well versed in the high energy breed. Caring for dogs is second nature to me as I’ve never known life without one. I have genuine love and compassion for animals and treat every pet as if it’s my own. I also rely on pet sitting services for my trips and can empathize with the stress of finding someone trustworthy- they aren’t just pets they are family! I’ll be sure they get the family experience. I’m currently working part time as a hairstylist, I just moved here 3 months ago and am slowly rebuilding a clientele. This allows for pockets of free time during the work week as well as some weekdays off so I can be available to check on your pets while you’re working or check in on them during a weekend trip away. I am well versed in pet safety and have plenty of experience in creating a safe and welcoming environment so you and your pet can feel at ease.

About: Hi, I am Mamie (I have gone by Mamie since birth but am technically named Mary) and I am a lifelong pet person, and professional sitter. I am relatively new to Rover specifically, but am in my 40's and have cared for other people's pets for over 15 years, both here in Pittsburgh and in Seattle where I am originally from. I am fully privately insured for pet sitting and dog walking and carry broadened property damage coverage, animal bailee coverage and veterinary reimbursement coverage. I do two check ins a day with lots of pictures, and am a quick responder to messages (my average response time is 6 min). My most consistent feedback is that i am very communicative and professional, and that owners feel secure and never worry about their pets well-being when they are with me! My mother was a vet tech and I grew up rescuing many animals, and continued that tradition into adulthood, so I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations I work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area from about 7am-3pm mon-thursday, so will not be available in the home or for potty breaks during those hours. The absolute longest I would leave a pet during a house-sitting is 8 hours on those days, but quite often it's only 4-6 hours that i am working. All other outings/errands would be less than four hours, tops, but usually only about an hour. I am comfortable with more or less any pet, from rodents to lizards and I am not squirmish about even the creepy crawlies and slithery noodles. I can and have given almost every kind of medication there is, including subcutaneous injections, and am comfortable doing so with care and compassion and confidence. I am clean, responsible, and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, and you can get a feel for my vibe and professionalism at that time, but I am sure you will like me and feel comfortable having me in your home. As a housekeeper I am used to going into strangers homes and having a high level of integrity and care for their space and belongings. I also am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible, and will clean litter boxes daily and change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I work as a housekeeper from 7am-3pm mon-thursday around the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have multiple dogs who need round the clock supervision and you book me at least three weeks before the sitting start date, than we could work that out and I could block out my housekeeping schedule for that time and just be available for the sitting job (my rates will be increased in this situation as I am priced for my current availability, not constant care and being unable to make my normal wages during the sit). In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I will spend lots of time loving and socializing your pets, and I set alarms and try to keep potty breaks frequent to avoid accidents and less stress.

“Daniel was awesome. My Great Dane is not well socialized but took to him right away. He has a very soothing and calm disposition. I would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I mean WHOLE. Came to earth with a sweet Pitbull in the family. Our next dog was a BlueTick Hound mix, that's the dog I grew up with. By the young age of 10 I was training him all the basics (sit, paw, speak, lay down). When I was around 11 I began dog walking for close friends and family, I continued that off and on until I was 17. Recently in 2020 my family got a PitLab mix (KOKO) who is a sweet lazy old man at the ripe age of 4. I was 18 when we got Koko and It was like love at first sight. I took care of him since he was a month old. I also taught him how to do the basic tricks above AND more. I’ve worked with him on walking on the lead, and off lead, recall and slight reactivity. I worked at a dog daycare/ boarding facility for a little while and it was the BEST JOB I ever had! I got to meet so many different breeds, learn all their quirks and meet multiple needs for them. I have learned to give appropriate medications at certain times, how to lead a room of 30+ dogs at a time, time management with feedings, naps, time outs and potty breaks. I have loved every single dog I’ve met or just seen walking down the street admiring the different breeds and appreciating their loving, playful, smart and loyal nature. If I’m being honest I love ALL animals but I will have to say dogs have to be my #1. I have always felt a very strong connection to dogs and being around them instantly increases my happiness as it should for everyone. I want to have a career working with dogs, such as; training, running my own daycare, walking business and boarding. Most of those ideas I can accomplish with Rover so I thought why not give this a great try. I am excited to meet all your pups and love them like they are my own, meet you AND your dogs needs while also providing a safe and responsible environment! I work a very flexible part-time job and I'm able to entertain your dogs any time throughout the day and or overnight. We can always work out the details to fit you and your dog's needs. I will be able to provide a respectful safe environment for any dog and thoroughly read & follow owner instructions. I am gentle yet strong and able to walk teacup to XL dogs. My house Is clean and safe providing a wonderful place to stay overnight as well. If you are welcoming me into your house I will also provide the same amount of respect and cleanliness as I do my own.
