Dog Walking Franklin Park

About: Dog walking & sitting was my very first job, and has always remained my favorite. I am a mom to a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles boy but have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including older ones who require medications. I only work very part-time and am looking to make dog walking more a part of my weekly life! They say a job should be what you love doing and I love taking care of doggos. I can make your dog's care a priority, dedicating time and focus on them. I am punctual and trustworthy, and offer clear and consistent communication. I understand how it feels to leave your dog's care in someone else's hands. Sometimes we just have to! I will show up to your home on time, taking your doggo for the exercise they need, and making sure they have ample bathroom and play time.

“So happy we found Shaina to help out with walks while I recover from ankle surgery! She's very polite, punctual, and professional and Eva loves her.”

“Briauna is amazing and patient with my over protective dog. He was a little scared to meet someone new, but she helped put him at ease and he really enjoyed his walk!”

About: Hi, I’m Joceline! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover who knows that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits and walks. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets exactly what they need, whether that’s a walk, potty break, fresh water, meals, medication, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home. You’ll also receive plenty of photos and updates after each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, personalized care while making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable until you’re home again. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I respect your home and your pet’s routine as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow all instructions, make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, and always leave your home just as I found it. You’ll also receive detailed updates and plenty of photos after every visit.

“Great walk 2day..Thank you!”

“We continue working with Brianna, she’s super detail oriented and a really good communicator, sending notes/cards consistently. Our dogs love her.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, patient dog lover who understands that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with dedicated dog parks, walking paths, and plenty of green space for safe exercise and bathroom breaks. My goal is to make every visit fun, stress-free, and as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit or walk. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I most often work from home and have scheduling flexibility. Upon a service request if able to do so i can rearrange my schedule accommodate pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Kate has been wonderful with walking my boy. She communicates well, is reliable, flexible and all around a good person. Unfortunately we are moving, I can only hope our next walker is as caring & good.”

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 love taking care of pets, both dogs and cats. I used to take care of my neighbors pets in high school and really enjoyed the experience, and would love to continue doing this as I work my part time job. While I do not have a let myself, I would love to get experience interacting with new animals as I love animals and have always wanted a pet growing up but never got the chance. I’m hoping this experience will inspire me to get a pet for myself one day :) I am currently working remotely on Tuesday’s and fridays and can pet sit while working from 9-5 pm. I am also available after 6:30 pm on MWTh, and am available all weekend for pet sitting. I live in a safe apartment where the pet can stay in our large living living room and go onto our patio for fresh air. I also live in a nice, walkable neighborhood where I will be able to walk the pet when needed.

About: I'm an experienced canine care giver. I've loved dogs all my life + I'll love your dogs like they're my own. My first dog was a black Lab named Maddy. Later I rescued a border collie/labrador mix named Sareena. I've cared for all kinds of dogs - high energy, big, tiny, sick, seniors + more. I recently retired and live with my dog, Sareena. She is a now a senior citizen (11 years) and still has daily walks. I am very flexible with my time. I have plenty of places for them to curl up, toys, treats as per your instructions. I have crates (if necessary), big front yard with lots of leads, great area for walking. Whether walking or staying in my home ... I am extremely punctual and reliable. I will always send you pictures and updates. You can count on me.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments for years and am experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. Families rely on me to maintain feeding schedules, reinforce basic training, manage high-energy play, and provide attentive senior support. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication so owners feel fully confident their pets and homes are in responsible hands. I work from home, which allows me significant flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins. I service areas within approximately 20 minutes of 15237 and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I do have a standing commitment at the barn on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and once over the weekend, but I build pet care schedules around that to ensure animals are never left longer than agreed upon. Communication and planning are always prioritized. I maintain a clean, structured, and pet-safe environment whether I’m in a client’s home or hosting in mine. I follow feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, and behavioral guidelines carefully. I studied basic veterinary care, so I am comfortable monitoring health changes, administering medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I treat every home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and clear communication.

“Nicolle took great care of Max, and he had a ton of fun on his walk with her!”

About: Caring for pets has always been part of my life, not just something I do, but something I truly love. I share my home with my big-hearted Golden Retriever Lucy Goose who brings joy, structure, and a lot of personality into my daily routine. Through her—and the many pets I’ve cared for—I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, medications, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also had the joy of hosting pets with special needs, recently including a vivacious little pug puppy with epilepsy. Providing a calm, consistent, and loving environment is something I take pride in. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection—just like one of my own. While away, your pet is my family and I am fiercely protective of my family. Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who’s very much part of my everyday life. Caring for pets is something that feels natural to me—it’s woven into my daily routine, not something squeezed in as an afterthought. My Lucy Goose is a large Golden Retriever with the sweetest, most gentle “little dog energy.” She’s very social, kind, and welcoming, and does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She has happily shared her space with smaller dogs and special-needs pets, and all interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I work during the week for about 6–8 hours a day, and outside of that time my life revolves around walks, fresh air, playtime, and creating a calm, loving home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, and I’m intentional about making sure every pet in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their quirks, honoring their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can truly relax. My home includes a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I supervise pets closely throughout the day. I also have a few pup gates to ensure safe calm and private pet feedings or if quiet time is needed. I also use cameras for added peace of mind and awareness while I am out and about. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I follow routines carefully, respect boundaries, and keep a watchful eye on behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. I communicate openly and provide updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and cared for.
