Dog Walking Glenfield

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.

“Jake has recently started doing daily walks with my girl Flower (and was her sitter once before), and he is awesome. Always on time, super flexible with changes, and Flower absolutely loves him!”

About: I grew up with cats but have rescued many cats and dogs over the years. I've rescued kittens, adults, and senior animals alike. I have loved many pets through old age, administer medicine, and loved them beyond their last breath. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I am a teacher who is off in the summer time. My schedule is flexible through August. During the school year, I am available on the weekends. I have rescued many animals, helping them get acclimated to their new setting. I rescued a half-starved kitten, keeping her in a separate room for months, giving her special care until she thrived. I have had senior pets and cared for a cat and dog through cancer, administering medicine. I have rescued a dog applying the 3-3-3 rule. I currently have a special needs cat who needs medicine twice a day.

About: I have been a dog owner since the day I was born. I am now a college graduate, and have been taking care of a few dogs around the area consistently over the past 5 years I do work during the week but can usually let them out throughout the day. I can make arrangements to be home if needed in most occasions I have a fenced in yard, a dog of my own to keep your dog some company, and I can always crate either dog if necessary.

About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.

“Gabby is very personable and caring individual. You can tell she loves dogs! Very sweet and speaks my 65 lb dog language very well.... Highly recommend her! Ty Gabby!”

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: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have been actively responsible for their care for the past five years. Growing up, my household consistently cared for up to ten dogs at a time, including working dogs, show dogs, and family pets. I have experience with dogs ranging from newborn puppies to seniors and from small breeds to dogs over 100 pounds. I have assisted with six successful litters from birth through early development, helping with monitoring, handling, and daily care of the puppies. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, maintaining structured feeding routines, and supporting crate and potty training when appropriate. I have experience introducing young, non-aggressive dogs to others in a controlled setting. I also regularly care for senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges. Currently, I have one dog living with me full time. He is a 35-pound Mini Australian Shepherd who is neutered, fully vaccinated, and has graduated from service animal training. My goal is to provide calm, structured, and attentive care so dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently a student at RMU and run my own photography business, so my schedule is great to give me time to play with your pups! I am typically home in the mornings and evenings, with breaks between classes during the day depending on the semester. I am available for boarding on the weekends at any time with weekdays being after 5pm everyday but Monday and Wednesday. When boarding, I do not leave dogs for extended periods without planning around their needs, and I make sure potty breaks and exercise are built into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on structure, supervision, and a calm environment. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise appropriate to each dog, with regular visits to local dog parks. Pets are never left unattended with access to unsafe items, and I monitor interactions closely, especially during introductions, including the use of cameras while out of the house. I have experience managing multi-dog households and understand the importance of slow, controlled introductions. My own Mini Australian Shepherd is well-trained and calm indoors. When boarding dogs, I prioritize compatibility and supervision. For cats, I maintain clear separation and provide quiet, designated spaces so they feel secure and stress-free. I keep my living space clean, organized, and free of hazards. Water is always available, and I follow all owner instructions carefully, including dietary needs and medication administration. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions exactly as provided, maintain cleanliness, and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they are away. I also run my own photography business, so I love capturing moments while pets are in my care and you are certain to get photos of your pet.

“Lindsey was wonderful! I appreciate her taking the time to walk with Ella. Ella was comfortable and happy. This is great practice for her to learn to walk with other people.”

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.

“Briauna has been great with my dog! Super kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I always feel comfortable knowing he’s in good hands, and he’s clearly excited to see her every time. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover and teach for an educational non-profit organization in Pittsburgh. I grew up on a farm so I'm no stranger to dogs and cats (and horses, cows, sheep, etc.)! I have a mini-dachshund, Bijou -- truly the sweetest little pup. Whether you'd like to have your pet stay with us in my home with a fenced yard, or if you'd prefer I come to you, I look forward to caring for your dog or cat. I also have experience with puppies and understand their particular needs. Please reach out with questions! I'm open to pets with different types of needs. I have some flexibility with my schedule and I'm willing to talk through what will work best for you. My dog Bijou goes nearly everywhere with me (though she would not need to come to your house). I own my home and have a small/medium sized fenced yard. Animals are very important to me and I will always do my best to create a safe and cozy atmosphere for them by understanding their needs. I respect each person's approach to care for their pets and will defer to your suggestions and wishes!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personalized approach, adaptability, and specialized skills. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from training puppies with patience and consistency to providing gentle care for senior pets with unique health needs. My focus on building trust with both pets and owners ensures peace of mind. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication and tailor routines to meet each pet’s emotional and physical needs, creating a safe, loving environment. My dedication to treating every pet like family truly sets me apart. Pet care fits into my routine through dedicated time blocks for feeding, walks, play, and grooming. Mornings often begin with feeding and walks, ensuring pets start their day energized. Midday or evening, I schedule additional walks and interactive play sessions to keep them active and mentally stimulated. Weekly tasks include grooming, restocking supplies, and maintaining their living spaces. I integrate these responsibilities seamlessly into my schedule to provide consistent and attentive care, ensuring their needs are always prioritized. Caring for pets involves tailored routines based on the pet’s needs and owner preferences. This includes providing regular walks for exercise and fresh air, ensuring proper feeding schedules, maintaining clean living spaces, and offering companionship to keep pets emotionally healthy. Whether at home or in a client’s residence, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, treating each pet with love and respect as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I have been a full time dog mom to my doggos Ashee and Boomer for over 15 years! I have been pet sitting from age 15. I have been a stay at home dog mom for over 16 years now.

I will treat your pets as I would my own. My dogs are my top priority in life! They are my fur children. I would treat your home with the same respect I do my own.

My daily and weekly schedule is open and flexible. I am a pet mom to my pittie Boomer. His whole world is my priority. I would solely offer client in house sitting in their own home as I wouldn’t want to bring other dogs to my Boomer.

“Cassandra was so great! We had her walk our high energy boxer while on vacation and it was a gift knowing that he was getting the workout he needs while we were away. I’d love to use her again in the future!”

“Denyal sent me updates and was very patient with my dogs. This was our first time using a dog-walking service and one of my dogs was a bit nervous to meet someone new, but Denyal got him to warm up to her and have fun on his walk! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up, my family always had six or more dogs at a time, ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures and administering medication, as well as handling a dog-reactive dog, so I’m very attentive to my surroundings and each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities and will treat your pets like my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays in your home and can work around your pet’s normal routine. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care. I also have experience with reactive dogs and am very mindful of safety and surroundings during walks.

“Great and helpful as always! Thank you so much ❤️”
