Dog Walking Fox Chapel

“Mary did great with our little guy, was responsive and kept us up to date while we were away. She walked and fed him twice while we were away and was on time and sent us photos and updates.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I recently graduated from college and moved to the city, and I’m excited to continue spending time with animals through dog walking and pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My family has Dane Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds, but I also adore small dogs like my aunt’s two mini dachshunds. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important routines, exercise, patience, and affection are for dogs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands! I work full-time, but my schedule is similar to shift work. I have open mornings and the occasional free weekend! Pet care is something I enjoy, gets me outside, and is a little bit of exercise all at once. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide updates (and lots of pictures!) so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. My goal is for the pets to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. That means sticking to their routine, staying in familiar environments, and being aware of the surrounding stressors. I am great at following clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter box care, and any special routines their pets are used to. I also keep homes clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I can provide services at the client's home; I don't have boarding facilities.

About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

About: I have had dogs in my household since I was a baby. I moved to pittsburgh in 2021, and before that was living with my parents who had four dogs! Right now, I have 3 cats. I love to dogsit and spend time with other people's babies! I have experience in dog sitting, and have spent some time working in dog daycare/boarding. I am currently not working a typical job so I am available 7 days a week most weeks and can spend all of my time with your pet if needed! I am dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy by keeping a close eye on them and making sure that they are loved and cared for.

“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”

About: Hello ! I’m a veterinarian technician 🩺 I can care for many pets including senior pets, pets that need medication or with any medical condition, fearful pets, etc. I LOVE my job & getting to meet all the fur babies. I am CPR certified & very attentive. I have an open schedule for the most part, I’m willing to work with what ever you need me to. Communication is important though !! I’m comfortable adapting to your home and your pets needs. Many animals experience anxiety when you leave so play time and cuddles are crucial !

About: As a compassionate animal enthusiast with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets. Drawing from my diverse background as a mother, military veteran, and preschool teacher, I have built strong caregiving skills. In addition, in the past I have worked professionally as a veterinary technician for three years. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of owning various pets, including cats, dogs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, fish, pygmy goats, guinea pigs, turtles, and leopard geckos. Currently, I care for an English bulldog, a cat, and three guinea pigs. Having relocated to the Pittsburgh area in June 2024, I am excited to offer customized care solutions for your pet. As a preschool teacher with summers off, I am well-suited to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they require, treating them with the same kindness I show my own pets. My availability during the school year is limited to nights, weekend, and holiday breaks. I am currently working as a preschool teacher. This gives me the whole summer off which allows me to be very flexible to care for your pets when you can't. I am committed to keeping your pet on the schedule you and your family want for them. All while keeping them safe and loving them.

About: I’ve been around every kind of dog since I can remember from taking care of Boston Terriers to St. Bernard’s! I love to take our family dog on hikes and even used to run with him! I’m a human nurse but I also have experience giving medications including pills and injections to pets. I work part time during the week and weekends. I can be around for afternoon visits and scheduled walks. I love to be outside in nature with animals! I have 2 cats that are comfortable around other peoples pets including other dogs. I am very near, tidy, organized, and respectful of others spaces.

About: I’ve had cats now for about 5 years! 4 of my own (ages 4, 4, 4, and 8), and they are absolutely the loves of my life!! I do also have experience with administering oral and eye medications for cats! My experience with dogs isn’t quite as extensive but just as thorough!! I have experience with walking and feeding!! I currently work full-time as a registered nurse, doing rotating (days and nights) 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, so I typically have quite a bit of availability and a pretty flexible schedule!! I am currently available for drop-in visits to ensure your pet has all the care they need! I will also provide pictures and updates :) My cats get fed twice a day and have plenty of toys and scratch posts! I also have an abundance of treats for them to snack on!!

About: Hello!! I've had my own cat since 2017 and am an avid stray feeder (and occasional trapper). I also volunteer at Kitty Queen Cat Rescue at least 2 days a week, usually doing morning cat care (but sometimes you can find me there during open hours). I feed all of the cats, replace water, scoop litter boxes, clean up whatever I might find, and give medication when needed. I encounter all different types of personalities and customize my approach to each one. I've been volunteering there since October 2025. I've also been pet sitting personally to friends since I was a teenager. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of animals and building trust with them, especially the shy ones. Truly nothing makes me happier than scooping 20 litter boxes with cats all around me. I also regularly take care of my friend's dog who is a spunky and reactive, but very sweet, terrier mix. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to my own cat, so I will understand if you need consistent pictures or a FaceTime call to calm your nerves! I once drove home in a blizzard because I couldn't see my cat on my cameras (she was completely fine). I'm also working on getting my Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification as I believe in preventing as much fear, anxiety, and stress as possible in all pets. Furthermore, I don't believe in assigning spite or malice to any animals. They are all innocent creatures to me. <3 I'm currently only working part-time so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets!! I can do mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc. One of the things I pride myself on is not only taking care of your pet like I would my own, but also your home. I'm a neat freak so I promise to leave it better than I found it! My least favorite part of taking a trip is coming home knowing my apartment would be a mess due to my cat sitter just not really caring. Not with me!

About: As a previous dog owner and sitter of nearly a decade, I have a very strong skill set when it comes to catering to your unique pup's needs! I am keen on carefully following the instructions left by dog owners while also using my own sensible judgement to make the best decisions for each pet. I can't wait to meet both you and your pup! I am a full-time CMU student, so I'm available to care for your pet(s) predominately on the weekends and all semester breaks during the school year, but anytime during the summer! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs unfortunately. However, I do live within 3-5 minutes away from several parks, including Mellon Park, The Walled Garden, and Baum Grove Park.

About: My friends regularly joke that my needs are similar to that of a dog: frequent walks and treats are all it takes to make me happy. I have cared for families and their loved pets for well over sixteen years; living in the owners house while on vacation or just dropping by periodically to check up. With our own pup, Thorin Oakenshield (Thor for short), our house is equipped with a large enclosed backyard, dog door, dog treats, toys (toys and more toys), and leashes. On Rover, I have cared for breeds of all types, but most extensively, I have cared for a Belgian malinois - hosting her for doggy daycare 30+ hours a week. The second dog i have cared the most for was special needs, so no matter the breed or the capabilities, know that I am comfortable, confident and competent I will be available full time throughout the week and on weekends: overnights accepted! I can work short term or long term and can travel, if need be, as I have a car and am willing to drive Our Thor gets along extremely well other dogs and children, so if you choose me to take care of your fur kid, you can rest assured they will get plenty of play time (if that's what you wish), plenty of rest (Thor adapts very well to other dogs energy levels, so senior pups can rest easy), and - of course - plenty of love! I currently have open availability: regardless of early morning or late nights, overnights, or weekends. I am happy to help however needed, so don't hesitate to reach out! I live in a home mere blocks from an elementary school. Our home has a large fenced in yard - with a dog door! My husband and I love dogs. In fact, my husband is far more likely to show them affection and love than he is to show me 😆 seriously, you should see his goodbyes with Thor v me in the morning... Your furkid will be inundated with as many pets and snuggles as their little heart desires, all while ensuring their safety and health.

About: I have over 12 years experience with cats, but have been taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs for over 2 years now. I am able to provide anything your animal needs regarding exercise, attention, love, and care! I have weekends available as well as all day during the week and I am very flexible with my schedule. I am comfortable taking care of all size, breeds, and quantities of animals. I know pets are like a member of the family so I will take care of yours like they were one of my own. I enjoy being outside and taking long walks, so if that is what your dog is looking for I am the perfect person for the job. Hope to hear from you soon! My schedule does change every week but I am flexible with timing and weekend dates! I am always happy to help out when I can! I understand that pets are a part of our family and need to be taken care of carefully. I will ensure I follow any specific instructions to keep your pets safe!

“Denyal is amazing! Very reliable, constant communication, suggestions for this new Dog mom, and pictures of him during his visit! Recommend her highly!”

About: I am a Masters student in Pittsburgh and have lived with cats and dogs for all 23 years of my life. I have cared for senior dogs and cats requiring medication and extra gentle love and care. I have also cared for puppies and kittens over the years. Outside of Rover I often pet sit for family members, neighbors, and friends whenever needed. I understand that your pets are family, and I provide the type of care that I would hope to receive for my own pets I can cover everything from litter-boxes, medications, food, and walks. I also more than happy to care for any pets outside of cats and dogs just reach out and ask if it is not listed in my profile already! Monday’s and Tuesday's I am available before 8AM and after 5PM. W-F, I am available anytime before 3:30 PM and after 9 PM Saturday and Sunday are typically wide open :) I like to leave the place cleaner than when I found it, and will be able to follow any and all care instructions as requested!

“Was very good with communication and went above and beyond what I had requested.”

About: Besides having my own wonderful pup for the last 15 years, I have also been taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats since I was 9 years old. I have cared for many animals, all with their unique personalities and needs, and I love every second. Specifically, I am equipped to care for animals with unique medical needs, as well as senior pets. I look forward to meeting you and your pet, and getting to know how I can best support them while you are away! I am in graduate school, and my schedule is fairly flexible. Upon initial contact, we can discuss a precise schedule that fits the needs of your pet. Safety is one if my top priorities as a pet sitter. Let me know about safety measures that work best for you and your pet.

About: I'll be just as excited to see them everytime as they are to see me. I love taking the time to get to know their individual personalities and quirks. Their tails wags bring smiles to my face. I've always had at least one dog of all sizes in my house growing up from little schnauaser and jack russell to a big coon hound. I know that some dogs can be a little more challenging than others but that doesn't deter me from trying to be their friend. I have the patience and intuition to read a dogs body language and am willing to give them their time and space to warm up to me. Because I am self employed and work from home, I am in charge of my schedule. I have flexibility and will try my best to be accommodating. When I am with your pet, they are my number one priority. They will receive the attention they want with their safety in mind above all else.
