Dog Walking in Herrs Island, Pittsburgh, PA

“Sarah was a lifesaver when we had a small emergency and needed someone to walk our sweet pittie. They had a great walk and she left her at home tuckered out and ready for a rest!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood, whether my own, or for friends, family, and neighbors. I will treat your sweet dog or cat as my own. I can go on long or short walks, can administer medications, can play or provide sweet loving attention to your fur babies. I work part-time, so I’m happy to be at your home or taking care of your dog/cat before 9 and after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. The other days of the week/weekend I can be there as often as you’d like, for as long as you’d like. I can walk dogs for as long as you need, we can work out a schedule that works best. My yard is partially fenced, so I fully intend to watch your dog during outdoor time if you are not one to use a lead. My house is 3-stories so perfect for any size animal. At the client’s home, I will follow your instructions as close as possible, and can provide a safe and loving presence. The only caveat is my house has 2 cats, so we must be sure the the visiting dog is safe with cats.

“Linnea does a great job taking care of my dog while I’m not at home! She is very friendly and provides excellent updates to make sure that you know what is going on. She is responsive and gives peace of mind that your pet is safe while you are away.”

“Super sweet person! Our golden, Ellie, seemed to really enjoy spending time with Jackie on her walk and she was able to use her commands and had control of her but was still very friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend Jackie.”

“Emily was very thoughtful and professional. I was very happy with her performance. So was my dog Ruby.”

“Great experience with Mario! He reliable, communicative, and compassionate about the care of animals. I always get great updates and photos, and it’s clear my dog is happy and comfortable with him. Mario had been a huge help with walks and letting my puppy out during the day while I’m at work. Highly recommend!”

“Nellie has been an amazing weekly dog walker for my dog, Rocky. She’s incredibly reliable and always communicates ahead of time if she needs to adjust his walk schedule, which I really appreciate. I always feel confident that Rocky is in great hands with her. I highly recommend Nellie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring walker!”

Lindsey M.

“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!”

“J.M. was great with my dog Grits. They came on time, gave a thorough report, and sent some cute proof of life pictures that brightened up my day at work. Thank you J.M.!”

Brittany H.

Patricia C.

“Ya a was so great! She gave regular updates and sent pictures when walking my dog Stella. She event went above and played with her. I felt like my dog was so well taken care of while I was away. I highly recommend her!”

About: My house was known as "The Zoo" growing up, with a Goldendoodle, Great Dane, multiple cats, and a ferret. I've been the neighborhood pet sitter since I was 13, with experience caring for large dogs, elderly animals, and administering insulin to a diabetic Chihuahua. Now, I live in the city with my two cats, Gizzi and Lezly, who I’ve taught to sit and high-five. I’ll give your pets the care they deserve and maybe teach them a trick or two along the way! I currently work part-time with closing shifts and the occasional weekend. My schedule is flexible, and I can adjust to fit your pet care needs. My cat, Lezly, is special needs with digestive issues, so I'm experienced with soft food and administering medicine diets. I look forward to walking dogs that love the snow or wear those cute little booties on their feet. I have no problem taking care of crate-trained or free-roaming animals. For overnight stays, my home is pet-friendly, but it’s important that the dog gets along with cats, as I have two of my own. My house is located on a quiet street in Troy Hill and has a quaint yard.

“Did such an amazing job with my puppy! She was very helpful and gave some great tips and knowledge about dogs ◡̈ looking forward to being able to have her watch my dog again!”

Nathaniel F.

“Chloe has been incredibly reliable, helpful, and excellent at communicating! I'm so grateful that she's been available to walk our dog Ace while my partner and I are away at work. Ace absolutely loves Chloe, and we love that he gets great walks and attention when we're away!”

“Hannah was wonderful with my pup, Mia. She was very communicative, always sending lots of pictures and updates. It’s evident she really loves and cares about your pets.”

Elizabeth F.

“Maria was wonderful, my Maca enjoyed her walk.”

Sharon C.

“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.

“Ella is AMAZING. my dog is extremely anxious and skittish around new people and Ella made a HUGE effort to come over and spend time with Mellie to get her comfortable. She made an extra effort and it meant so much to me. If you have an anxious pet you know how important it is for people to be patient with them and Ella definitely was. 10/10 would recommend 🩷”

About: Greetings. I've had pets most of my life and recently have taken care of many dogs during COVID on a long and short term basis. The longest stay I had was 2 months while the owner went to India. I recently moved to Pittsburgh (Mt Washington) from the Netherlands so I'm happy to have a pet to 🐶 hang out with while I'm learning the area. I work full time, however it's remote from home and I set my own break schedule. So I'll have plenty of spare time to walk, groom and play with the 🐕 I'm in a condo that allows pets and am on the ground floor so it's easy to take multiple breaks for a walk or run. Medicine wise, I have given pills and insulin injections to animals I have watched and not got scratched.

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets in my home since I was a child, and simply cannot imagine life without them! I currently own two dorky siamese cats, Hazelnut and Pistachio. I also spend a lot of time hiking & exploring the riverfront trails with my partner and his pitbull/boxer mix, Rita. As a young professional working downtown for an environmental nonprofit, I have a flexible schedule which includes remote days, making visits during the week viable for me. I am very responsible, and am often trusted to pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors, many of which are photographed in my profile! I am comfortable with all types of animal personalities, behaviors, and sizes. Experienced with providing medical care (pills, IV, shots, topical creams, injury care). Available now and ready to meet the needs of your furry companion! I typically work 9-5 hybrid remote office hours. Mostly available on weekday evenings and mornings, with plenty of availability on weekends. Flexible on remote work days (typically wednesdays and fridays) I am trustworthy with managing home keys, scanning home environment for potential risks, and following special instructions. I keep to my word and will show up to scheduled visits.
