Dog Walking Esplen

“Amanda and her son were great with Nash! He loves little kids and I’m sure it made his day getting to play! She was super responsive and was able to take Nash out last minute which relieved a lot of stress when my prior arrangement fell through the night before. Would definitely recommend!”

“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.”

About: Hello there, I am a certified Veterinary technician, I have been in wildlife and small animal care for the past 14 years while dog sitting on the side. I am new to the Pittsburgh area and looking to find new clients! My previous experience includes zookeeping and wildlife rehabilitation in the Boston area for 7 years and then working for a professional dog sitting/hiking company in Medford MA for another 5 years. I moved to Pittsburgh to get my CVT (Certified Veterinary Technician license) in 2024, and now work at a lovely little small animal clinic. I am well versed in animals with complex medication/therapy needs, such as insulin administration and exacting medication timing requirements. I am also very experienced with exotics, particularly birds. I work full time Monday-Friday so I am primarily seeking weekend and holiday pet-sitting arrangements. I am also happy to work in drop in cat care around this type of schedule as well. I have been dog/cat/house sitting in clients homes for 14 years and am experienced with maintaining specific pet routines and training schedules. I have a leave no trace policy when it comes to other peoples homes. I am also very happy to water plants and manage aquarium care as needed. I also do not drink or party, I just need a sofa and a good book. Because I work with animals and want to keep everyone protected I will require that all animals I watch be on a flea preventative and be rabies vaccinated.

“Maria was fabulous. She was consistent and kind and Kev fell in love with her. She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily feedback on his walks. We will definitely reach out to her again!”

“This is the second time Lauren has taken care of cooper (both times on short notice) and I’m happy we have someone we can trust when we go out of town to take care of our fur baby! She’s attentive and sends pictures to us, keeping us up to date on how he’s eating and just doing in general. Definitely recommend lauren to take care of your fur babies! ?”

About: Hi there! I have about 3 years of experience caring for pets for family. I regularly cared for my sister’s dog Titan while living in Virginia. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, runs, and trips to the park while always keeping their safety and comfort in mind. I am responsible with feeding schedules, cleaning up after them, giving them attention, and making sure they eat properly. I treat every pet with patience and care and will keep owners updated while their pet is with me. I’m currently waiting for my new job to begin, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of dates and times. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding times, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of companionship. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never overlooked while they’re with me. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog can enjoy a calm and peaceful environment without the stress of unfamiliar animals. My apartment is clean, quiet, and comfortable, and I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions and do everything I can to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.

“Ashley has been walking Thor for a few months now and since she started Thor has had some medical issues requiring Ashley to give him a pill. In addition he’s become more difficult and picky with eating. Ashley has been extremely supportive through this making sure she does what she can to get Thor to eat and take his pill.”

About: I have a bit too much time on my hands and love animals. I've cared for dogs and cats for many years as a volunteer. I'm a complete pacifist and have too much love in my heart not to share it with more animals! I work part time in retail so my schedule is very variable. What's great about that is that I have availability all day some days! However, i don't have weekends off. I will treat your place with respect and cater to your pets' needs. They will be very loved and entertained. I don't offer my home for services.

About: I have had dogs all of my life that were all gotten while they were puppies. Have taught so many fun tricks that I can pass to your best friend too. I’m currently available at all hours to take care of your best friend(s). Though I am active my trainings and games usually keep me busy for a maximum of two hours. I have a nice and safe apartment with easy access to outside and a quick walk to Point State Park will give them all the grass they could ever dream of.

“Thanks so much Kathleen! Lena seemed to have loved her walk from all of the pics and videos!”

“Did such an amazing job with my puppy! She was very helpful and gave some great tips and knowledge about dogs ◡̈ looking forward to being able to have her watch my dog again!”

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 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 and helping with medical care, years of volunteer work with multiple animal shelters, 20+ years of pet ownership myself and a few years of professional sitting experience both here in Pittsburgh and in Seattle. I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations. I work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area along with Pet Sitting and drop-ins during the day. Most jobs take me away from the home 4-6 hours at a time, the absolute longest I will/ever have left pets during the day is 8 hours, but that is rare and discussed/agreed upon with pet parents before booking. Constant care (any let that cannot be left alone 2-4 hours at a time) is available at an increased rate of 2.5x my normal daily rate. I am experienced and comfortable with oral medications and subcutaneous injections and administer meds with care, compassion and confidence. Injections do incur a small extra cost to service ($5/injection) for increased risk and expertise. I am clean, responsible, professional and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, for the safety, individualized care and comfort of all of us (me, you and your pet babies.) 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 and am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible. I will clean litter boxes daily, change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I do house-sitting and drop-ins throughout the Pittsburgh area, as well as a few short housekeeping jobs throughout the week. For house-sitting I make your home my "base" and am in and out throughout the day if I have other jobs scheduled, normally gone about 4-6 hours at a time. I am very open and communicative about my schedule with pet parents and spend the majority of my days with your pet and always stay overnight. If I don't have other jobs scheduled during the day than I am spending my day with your babies, same as you would! I do offer constant care with enough notice to block out my schedule, at an increased rate of 2.5x my daily price to cover lost wages from my daytime bookings. In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I ask lots of questions at the meet and greet and keep extensive notes on each pet that I keep on file and can be updated regularly/are available for all current and future bookings.

About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue 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.

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

About: Hi! I’m Clementine (it won’t let me change my name haha) I’ve had dogs ever since I was baby. I grew up around them, and I’ve always felt a sort of connection with them. I have 3 dogs of my own currently, two of which are rescues, and one of which is epileptic and asthmatic, so I have experience in the field of dogs who need special care. I just graduated high school and I don’t plan on going to a university, so I will be free most of the time during the summer! Because I have dogs of my own that don’t mesh well with others, I’ll only be able to do visits and stays at your home to ensure the safety of your pets!

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. My family has cared for many breeds of dogs including a Rottweiler, Great Dane, German Shepherd, Yorkie, and Chihuahua. I am the first person my friends and family come to when their pets need care. I have several years of experience walking, feeding, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I am currently a college student and will have lots of time to spend time with your pet. I am available in the afternoon/night and all day on the weekends. While caring for your pet, my time and attention will be completely devoted to their individual needs. While providing services at your home, my focus and priority will be on your pet as if they were my own.

“Hammie loves walks with Jillian! She is super friendly, communicative, and dependable- absolutely would recommend!”
