Dog Walking in Garfield, Pittsburgh, PA

“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”

“He did an excellent job! Dogs were very content when I returned. Obvious in their actions that they were well cared for. Would like to book him for regular mid day walks,”

“Brittani has been absolutely amazing! I asked her to come have a visit with our pup so she could meet him and she was kind enough to fit us her schedule. She has always been so responsive and timely, something I really appreciate while I’m away at work. Her daily pictures are awesome! I now have these amazing portraits of our dog I can show off. We love Brittani !”

“Rachel went way, way above and beyond caring for my sick dog! We're so lucky to have had her help, and I ended up rebooking before the first booking ended.”

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and even had a ferret at one point. I am a dog walker and cat and dog sitter (or cat walker if you would like!). Some of my current clients have been with me for 5 years. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I can drop in after 3 on most days since I am a student and weekends I am more flexible so I can work around your needs. I have a closed yard for my German Shepard and my cat is strictly an indoor cat. We use a mixture of dry and wet food for both animals and have frequent potty breaks for the dog.

“Carol was amazing! She was able to walk my dog on short notice. Carol was kind and helpful and my dog loved her. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Carol!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes

About: Customized Care: I tailor my approach to each pet’s individual needs, from dietary preferences to specific routines, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life through a blend of routine, dedication, and joy: Pet care is woven into my daily schedule. These activities are as regular as any other task, from morning feedings to play times and walks. I ensure that each pet’s needs are met consistently, maintaining a balanced routine. A safe and comfortable environment, giving plenty of personal attention while respecting their personal space, constant health monitoring, a consistent routine, cleanliness, and an emergency plan.

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

“We are very grateful for Devin. With my busy work schedule I often have unpredictable hours, and Devin has saved us on multiple occasions w last minute requests for walks. Leaving our dog at home all day can be stressful and Devin allows us to go to work and have peace of mind.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a routine, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I offer dependable, attentive care with plenty of affection. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're gone. I just graduated from Auburn University, and have just moved to Pittsburgh from Memphis! My availability is extremely open and I am willing to work days, nights, weekends, or whatever is needed. At the moment, the fence in my backyard is undergoing repairs, so I’m not offering pet care in my home right now. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel most at ease. Working in your home allows me to stick closely to your pet’s routine and provide one-on-one attention in a space that’s familiar and comfortable for them. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.

About: I have been housesitting and taking care of dogs and cats since high school. Whether it be going for walks or just cuddling with them in the house I have had experience in all areas. I have an 85 pound 1 year old dog of my own so I have experience with larger dogs in addition to smaller dogs. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals or take them on walks whatever is needed. I will make sure to keep your pets safe just as I would my own dog. I will keep them safe whether it be in your yard, in the house, or on a leash.

“Alexandra is great! She has been my twice weekly dog walker for about a month now. She communicates extremely well and is very reliable. She leaves detailed info on how the walk went with my dog, which I appreciate. She has gone out of her way to accommodate Ada, who can at times be shy with new people. Would recommend!”

“Marcela and her partner walked my dogs daily while I was out of town and they did a great job. Very communicative, kind, and my pups were well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

About: I LOVE playing and running around with dogs and am happy to take your dog on long walks or on a romp in the dog park. I'm currently on sabbatical, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pets... and I will because I miss my pet time! My husband is allergic, so Rover is how I get to spend time with furry friends. For dogs, I keep an eye out for dangerous situations when on walks with dogs and ensure that we give a wide berth to any possible threats. For cats, I make sure that I respect their boundaries and don't stress them out as we're getting to know each other. I am also very careful when entering and leaving to ensure they don't escape.

“Was wonderful to our pup Maybee. Very accommodating and reliable. Highly recommended”
