Dog Walking East McKeesport

About: I absolutely love spending time with furry friends! I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even some shy rescues. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, playing fetch at the park, and giving all the belly rubs they deserve. I’m responsible, punctual, and make sure each pet gets personalized attention and affection while you’re away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible class schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets throughout the week. I usually have mornings and evenings free, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals is a great way for me to relax and recharge between classes—it honestly makes my day better! I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live just a short walk away from a beautiful dog park where pets can get plenty of safe, supervised outdoor time. I always keep dogs on a leash during walks and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. At home, I have two super friendly resident pets who love meeting new friends and are great at helping other pets feel relaxed and welcome. I keep my space clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with lots of cozy spots for rest and play. Your furry friend will be treated just like family here! 🐶💛

“Gary has been friendly and easy-going. Will definitely book again. I appreciate the attention to detail he gives each of the dogs and their walking/feeding habits. Thanks very much!”

“Lia has been great to work with. She's so patient with our cats and dog, always on time, and gives us a full report of her visit. We really appreciate her!”

Michelle E.

“Chelsea has been a wonderful and reliable walker for my dog, Hoagie, for several months. She does a great job of keeping me informed on how things are going on the walks and always take some nice pictures. She even brought a toy or two as a Christmas gift. I highly recommend Chelsea and so does Hoagie.”

About: I have four years of hands on experience as a kennel technician, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I specialize in maintaining clean, safe environments, providing enrichment, and offering plenty of love and attention. I’m confident handling puppies, senior pets, and administering basic medications, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I currently work as a Lead Kennel Technician. I dedicate mornings and evenings to feeding, walking, and engaging with pets, and I am available for pet sitting and drop-in visits during my off days /hours. I enjoy spending quality time with animals every day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, welcoming environment and follow any specific instructions provided by pet parents. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain in familiar surroundings and maintain their routines. If pets are in my care, I provide secure spaces, enrichment activities, and close supervision to make sure they are happy and safe.

“Olivia is a fantastic dog walker, my old boy won't go for a walk with anyone but me including his other owner but Olivia can get him up and going without much of a problem. Her patience with him is admirable.”

About: We have a full house here with 10 cats and 4 dogs and are fully prepared for anything including meds, walks, lots of love, treats and more! I have a pretty open/flexible schedule and I’m able to get help from my wife when necessary!! I can do recurring weekly drop-ins or drop-ins for a long vacation! I am able to accommodate any of your safety needs whether it be separating animals into their own areas or keeping an eye on a pup that is a little sneaky!

About: I love animals, and I've had pets since I was a little kid. I love both cats and dogs. I had a chocolate lab for most of my childhood. Then, when I graduated college, I got a cat named Winston. He was my best friend until he died when he was 13. Now that I'm settled with a son and a partner, I have a mini Australian Shepherd puppy named Nugget. I have lots of love to give your pets, but I also prioritize safety and communication. I want you to feel at ease when you're away from your pets and know that they are in good hands with me. I will follow your instructions to a t and make sure that your pet gets so much love and attention. I have experience in caring for cats, but I also have experience dogwalking, housesitting, and dogsitting. I can't wait to meet your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home several days each week, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend more time with the pets in my care. Because of my schedule, I can often accommodate visits throughout the day and provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and care. Outside of work, spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I love using my free time and weekends to care for pets, whether that means going for walks, playing, providing cuddles, or simply keeping them company and helping them feel comfortable while their owners are away. Caring for animals never feels like a chore to me. It's something I truly enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to maintain their normal routine and help them feel as safe and comfortable as possible while their family is away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to accommodate any reasonable requests regarding feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications, sleeping arrangements, or other aspects of their care. I treat every client's home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. I am conscientious, trustworthy, and committed to leaving your home just as I found it. Most importantly, I strive to provide pets with companionship, patience, and attentive care so they can feel secure, relaxed, and loved in their familiar environment.

About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.

“Dear Erin, Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Knox!!! We really appreciated your careful attention to Knox’s needs as well as all of your updates/pics, including if you were in traffic/running late. We look forward to using you in the future!!! Thanks, Erica & David”

About: I’m a dog whisperer. They understand us more than we think, they are created to be in subjection to us. Hh hh hh hh hh The flexibility works well with my lifestyle. I am a busy mom but so excited to do fun flexible work. Hh hh hh hh hh I try to respect the animal and its routine. I know that makes life easier for mom and dad, but also it’s less stress. Hh

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Cristi and I am currently a master’s student. I can’t think of a better way to take a break from long hours of studying than to help you with your dog, cat, or other small pet in any way that I can. I spend most of my time at home, so I have a lot of availability for boarding (typically daytime-only, no over-nights), and any other needs you might have. I understand that life is hectic and that things come up, so I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule! I can travel to you for walking, feeding, playing, letting outside, etc. and boarding (daytime only, no overnight). I prefer to travel a maximum of 10mi to you, but I’m willing to drive further for an increased rate. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve personally owned a cat and a rabbit. Additionally, I’ve taken care of dogs (and a rabbit!) for friends and family over the past few years. Just let me know how I can help you! I’m looking forward to making new furry friends! I’m currently a student so in between classes and studying I would love to check in on your pets! My schedule is very flexible so we can work together to figure out a plan for meeting your pet’s needs while you’re away! I do not offer services in my home, but I don’t mind staying at your place for as long as you need (no overnights)! Pets are always more comfortable in their own environment, so it will be the ideal situation for both of us!

“Tony is so great with our mastiff! I never have to worry about her when I know it’s Tony’s day. She’s definitely a much happier pup after his visits. 10/10”

“We hired Justin to walk our dog Cooper for a few consecutive days while we were away. He was great throughout, coming to meet Cooper before their first walk and providing great feedback and details for each walk. I would definitely suggest him!”

Andrew G.

“So good with our new puppy! It was his first long day in the crate and Sandra took great care of him! Walk and play time! She even helped us out by cleaning up some puppy puke left behind. We hope to have her help again!”

“Amazing! Prompt! Professional. Awesome with our dog!”

About: Dogs have been apart of my entire existence. The one thing I’ve always seemed to pick or find when finding a job was the dog factor. Whether Amazon or valet if a dog wasn’t involved I rarely wanted to work that day lol! I have my own 1 year old munchkin who is long needing of friend time also lol! I am unfortunately currently unemployed. However, I was just introduced to the world of dog sitting and would love to make it a full time job I have a large cage for almost any sized dog if needed, a 1 year old fur baby who’s long needed friends to hangout with and my own obsession over puppers will assure your pups safety and well trusted environment when being cared for.

About: Professionally trained in animal care at various zoological institutions. Graduate degree in zoological management with a wealth of experience and knowledge in animal husbandry. Willing to go the extra mile for you and your pets! Working full time 8am-4pm, so I am available most nights and weekends. I will do my best to be flexible and will do my absolute best to accommodate you and your animals needs. I offer the upmost care to my personal pets from dogs and cats, to birds and reptiles . I am willing to do what it takes to provide world class care my own pets and carry it over to clients pets.

“Fantastic walkers! They took great care of both my dog and cat while I was away on multiple occasions. They sent video/photo updates and were very reliable. Will continue to book again in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm Bre – a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of pet-sitting experience in both NYC and Pittsburgh. I’m based near Swisshelm Park and have cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life. I grew up with a loyal Yellow Lab, a beautiful Golden Retriever, a spunky Jack Russell, and three cats, and am well-versed in the unique personalities and needs of all types of furry friends. Over the years, I’ve provided everything from dog walking and drop-in visits to overnight care and extended house sitting. At the moment, I'm available for walks and drop-in visits. While I’d love to have a dog of my own, my current living situation doesn't allow for it –which just means I have extra love and attention to give to yours! I’m responsible, punctual, and trustworthy. I’m also playful, affectionate, and very in tune with the different energy levels and preferences pets may have. Whether your pup or kitty is full of energy or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll adapt to their needs. You can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during our time together. I’d be happy to meet up for an introduction before booking – just reach out with any questions! I am also independently insured outside of the Rover Guarantee through Pet Sitters Associates. I have a fairly flexible schedule — perfect for daytime walks, outdoor playtime, and evening care. My availability is generally between 8 AM and 10 PM, so I can easily accommodate a variety of routines. At the moment, I’m only offering walks and drop-in visits (no overnight stays), but I’m happy to provide multiple check-ins throughout the day to keep your pet comfortable and cared for in their own home. Please note for April 13-April 30: I will be unavailable for drop-ins + walks after 12pm. I’m more than happy to come to your home to ensure your pets are cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they need in a familiar environment. I approach every sitting with the understanding that I’m stepping into your pet’s world—their home, routine, and safe space. I prioritize consistency and a calm, gentle presence, especially for anxious or timid pets. I’m mindful of my tone, volume, and movements, and I keep routines as normal as possible. With repeat visits, I use the same soft greeting so they begin to recognize and feel safe with me. I never force interaction and always allow pets to approach on their own terms, building trust at their pace.
