Dog Walking Friendship

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’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.

“Thanks so much for walking Turtle! Even in cold weather, Tiffany made sure Turtle got his exercise and bathroom break! Very grateful and will reach out again!”

“Alexander helped me out when I found myself in a pinch at the last minute. He walked my dog twice a day for multiple days. He was punctual and communicative via the app. I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

“Polina is absolutely fantastic! She is very easy to communicate with, always very quick with response, extremely flexible with scheduling, and wonderful with my dogs, sending lots of pictures every walk. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in great hands. I will definitely ask her to help with dog walking again very soon and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker.”

I am also free for in-home pet sitting any day of the week. I follow every care instruction closely, and I only take one in-home sitting or walking client at a time, so your pups will have my complete focus and priority. I require a meet and greet before to ensure we are the right fit! I priortize safety and comfort for each pet and I can avoid any triggers for your pets while we are walking. I'll keep you updated with daily pictures and videos of your pups.

About: I will love your dog as if they were my own and take care of them exactly as you would! I know how fickle and specific dogs can be and I will do my best to make your dog feel confident and comfortable while you are gone. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes in urban and suburban areas as well as experience with puppies and potty training. I work part time, so I have tons of time to shower your pets with love and attention and am very flexible for the needs of you and your pet. I will always leave a space better than I found it and will take good care of your pet and your home so that you can feel confident that your pet is having a good time while you are gone!

“Shannon has been walking my pup for two weeks now and has been wonderful! The weather has been freezing and snowy and yet she has always showed up on time and has established a great relationship with my dog. She does a super job knowing when it’s too cold (or my dog just isn’t in the mood) to go for an extended walk and will just play with him inside a bit longer instead. Highly recommended!”

“Wonderful, thank you so much!”

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

“Adisyn went above and beyond to care for our older dog and home. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely contact her in the future. You would be lucky to have her care for your pet!”

Michelle S.

“Theo has been an amazing walker with my Newfoundland Tiny! He’s incredibly communicative and on time for every walk. On days when Tiny wasn’t feeling up to a long walk, Theo found ways to get him moving in the backyard and brought him back happy and ready to chill out.”

“Nick stopped by to meet me and our dog and he demonstrated instant rapport and skill with Dublin, our doodle. He showed up on time, he took Dub for a healthy walk and took the time to check in ahead because it was raining that day. We will consider Nick fir our future needs.”

Nickolas C.

“Emily was our long term walker for around 8 months. She was always on time, formed a bond with our pup, and went above and beyond to take him on long walks! She’s also great on overnight visits, and made sure our pup felt safe in an unfamiliar environment. Her communication is great, and we highly recommend her to care for your pet!”

Nicholas D.

“Times did a wonderful job walking our two dogs mostly while we were at work. She was on time, made sure our home was secure and the dogs were well cared for. Rudy and Dasher both said they loved spending time with her! We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for family and friends since I was young. Growing up with a dog, cats, and chickens, I have lots of pet experience! During the beginning of COVID, I got a puppy with my sister and was the main care taker and trainer for several years. I am excited to love your pets just as much as you do! I am a Pitt post-grad, currently working as a fitness instructor. I coach average 2-5 classes per day, so have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the day. My dog at home is a bit of a tricky walker, and wasn’t very good with other dogs when he was younger, so I have lots of experience and can adapt to a dogs walking style and needs.

“Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, ranging from dogs and cats to horses and pigs. I have trained two family puppies. I’ve done cat rescue for about 8 years, and I also have my own cat, minerva :) I now work at a hospital, and would love to care for animals in my free time. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a cat owner, as I ensure she always has food and water. We also cuddle everyday, and have lots of playtime. Several times a week, I clean her litter box so that it’s never too dirty. In my own home and any others, I like to spend a lot of quality time with the pets present. When I’m home, my cat Minerva is glued to my side most of the time. When I visit my parents, I still get to see my dogs from home that I helped raise and train. I’m also working on harness training my cat.
