Dog Walking Fox Chapel

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: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.

“Diana has been great with our dog. It is obvious that she cares deeply about animals. She even carried Zora home when it was too cold for her paws! What more could I ask for?”

Jennifer C.

“Clover had a good walk with Morgan and all instructions were remembered. We will book with her again”

Melissa M.

“Heather does an amazing job with my 2 pups!! She makes sure they have on their coats or harnesses depending on the cold temps. My pups enjoy the long walks with her and being able to sniff at their own pace!! The pups get so excited to see her! Definitely would recommend Heather to take care of your pets!!”

Taylor F.

“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.”

Cassie B.

“Tiffany is on time and does a great job with Coco. She gets her exercise for sure and is tired and content when she gets back. Thank you Tiffany.”

Roger And Allison S.

“Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!”

Sarah B.

“Allison did a great job with our two dogs. Both are big anxious girls and she managed them right after a move. We’re grateful and will likely use her again.”

Kaitlyn C.

“I booked Sarah to walk my dog, and overall I had a really good experience. She was friendly, handled my pup well, and the walk went smoothly. My dog came back happy and calm!”

About: My name is Amanda, I’m thirty nine and child less so that means more time for dogs!

I work full time in the evenings so morning/afternoon walks and/or drop ins are ideal. I am also flexible on my off days which are during the weekdays. Love to take walks and/or keep your dog company while you work or have plans for the day. If you are taking a trip or a vacation; I’m open to stay with your pet at their own house if that’s where they feel most comfortable. The only stipulation is that I will still be working my full time job which is evening hours. So if your dog can be alone for 8 hours- I’d love to be able help you out.
