Dog Walkers in Lake Lynn, PA

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, intuition, and grounded presence to every animal I care for. My background in law enforcement, behavioral observation, and trauma-informed support makes me especially skilled with animals who are anxious, reactive, or sensitive. I’ve worked with everything from puppies to senior pets, high-energy working breeds to misunderstood rescues, and multi-pet households that require structure and reliability. I’m confident with medication administration, basic training follow-through, and reading body language to prevent issues before they start. What sets me apart? 🐾 Veteran-level experience—not a hobbyist or casual sitter 🐾 Criminal justice & security background—you can trust your home and animals are safe 🐾 Farm-capable—comfortable caring for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more 🐾 Trauma-aware—I understand how to approach fearful or reactive animals with calm authority 🐾 Energetically grounded—I leave your pets emotionally balanced, not just fed Whether you're gone for a day or several weeks, I ensure your animals are cared for with the same diligence and loyalty I give my own.

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was around 9/10. I have experience sitting with all sorts of animals and have never met one I didn't love. My boyfriend's family breeds Yorkies, so I have experience working with dogs as young as fresh out and as old as the end. I am experienced with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes. I am currently available 24/7 on the weekends. Monday and Friday, I am unavailable from 10-1, but free the rest of the day. I have plenty of time for all sorts of furry friends. I currently live with two kittens who are accustomed to dogs, but they can be confined to their room if there is concern. I do not have a yard where I am, but I do have plenty of safe walking areas around me for exercise and pottying. I am respectful and resourceful when doing overnights in your home, and I will make sure your pet feels comfortable in either your home or mine.

About: I grew up in a home with five large breed dogs and enjoy the company of any dog breed, from large to small. I have experience from puppies to seniors that need a little extra care and patience. I’m currently a full time college student at Fairmont state and working part time on the weekends at WVU Medicine Golisano Children’s. I have different times throughout the week (mornings, afternoons, evenings) to be able to care for your pets:) I will unfortunately be unable to care for pets in my home for the overall safety of my pets and yours. However, I treat others homes and pets with the utmost respect!

About: I often volunteer at the SPCA to spend more time with animals. I love animals, and it is a great take away to spend time with a furry friend amidst all of life’s chaos. Im currently a full time student, but I make time in between classes and at night for work! Overnight stops are fine, as long as I have time to go to class in the morning! I have grown up with pets my entire life, and know how important it is to give them a great quality of life. I will make sure all the pets needs are met, and if I have free time I would love to play with them!

We have two cats and one dog who keep our home full of love and lots of fur! I cannot think of a single time in my life when I didn’t have a pet. I’ve cared for pets and tiny humans for most of my adult life and would love to make your life easier by helping care for yours! I am a full-time teacher and mom so my availability consists of early mornings/late evenings, weekends, holidays and summers! I have reliable all-wheel drive transportation during the winter. I’ll follow whatever agreed upon directives given to me when it comes to caring for your pet! I can do as little or as much as you need!

If your furbabies are shy, I can set up a separate room for them. If they love making friends, my cats will keep them busy.

“Armando is excellent! Dependable, great with my Dane, and flexible.”

About: I’ve been around animals since I could walk. Taking care of them was always part of the daily routine in my house. About five years ago I started fostering with a service dog training organization here in Morgantown and have helped train lots of their dogs. I also work with a behavioral consulting company here in the area and have worked with a variety of different breeds and sizes of dogs. Even some cats too! My goal is to create a positive relationship with your pets and keep them safe and happy while having fun! With what I do for work I can create my own schedule during the days. This means I can plan time out of my day to make sure the pets in my care get the proper mental and physical enrichment that they need. I’m also very active so the dogs that need more energy used on our walks will get that. And I’m not opposed to sitting on the couch with our couch potatoes as well and giving some love. I have been trained in reading dog body language for many years now. With permission, I always bring yummy snacks and fun toys for the pups to show I am fun and trustworthy in their eyes. If need be, I can also crate your pets when I leave if that is where they need to go. I also always go outside with your pets if there is a fenced in backyard to be able to monitor them at all times.

“Gem was wonderful! She kept me updated, sent photos, and was very flexible while stopping by to walk my pups. Since Ivy can be a little unsure at first, she took the time to walk them separately, taking one out and then coming back for the other. Once Ivy warmed up, she was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated Gem’s patience and care. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I have a very open schedule taking one class during the day so I can spend lots of time with the pets. I've had many dogs of my own over the years and love pets in general. My family back home has 3 big dogs and two little ones, so I am familiar with any size pet. I am very flexible on animal needs and would treat the pets as if they were my own. I have a large back yard for the animals to run and play and I love going on walks with them. I am excited to meet all the different pets and provide reliable care for them while their loving owners are busy. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

About: I have been petsitting since highschool! I am currently a junior at WVU and would love to continue here! I have watched pets with medical needs and other specific requests! I have watched every pet from chickens to lizards! I have almost completely open availability aside ,I have a full time remote job and online classes! Apart from that I am available anytime including overnight petsitting stays! The spring I would have a later evening course but only tues/thurs! I cannot have any pets in my home but I can always go to you! I am able to do overnight visits, drop-ins and anything else you may need! Please feel free to ask!

About: I have experience in working with animals in boarding and daycare and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I am trained in animal restraint, administering medications, and reading body language. I also have 3 family dogs and one of my own. Taking care of pets is my life. For work, I take care of animals at Duck Hollow Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant. I am also studying Veterinary Technology at Pennwest California. Because of my academics, during school, I will only be able to book on Sundays. I have a female rescue dog that loves other dogs and cats! If you want your dog to have a friend, I can bring her, or if not, that's okay too!

About: This is something I truly enjoy. I’m very confident in the animal care that I partake in. I have experience in canines, feline, horses, birds, and many more! I have plenty of time in the morning. I’m an early morning person so your pet would get fed and exercised first thing in the morning and night before I go to sleep! I have time around lunch time too if needed. Personally, I would not bring animals home out of respect of my roommates. If I was responsible for a dog for 6 hours we would simply make the day out of it. Go to the park, maybe hike, walk around, depending on the circumstances of course.

“Abby was so amazing with my dog Winnie! She even took the time to meet my dog ahead of time, which was greatly appreciated! I will definitely book with Abby in the future :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every size and personality for over 10 years. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, giving oral medications, and keeping routines consistent so dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me for daily walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I love spending time outdoors, playing fetch, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Every pup I care for is treated like part of my own family — with patience, affection, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays after 12 PM, as well as boarding or overnight stays on weekends. I love spending time outdoors and keeping dogs active, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends! Your pup will have plenty of space to play and relax in a safe, supervised environment. I always keep water fresh, maintain clean spaces, and follow your care instructions carefully. Crating is available if preferred, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I would most definitely take care of your dog or cat as if it were my own. Ive taken care of dogs with disabilities for example my mom’s shih tzu has a bad back and cant walk well. And ive taken care of large breeds such as great danes and golden doodles. I love animals i think they are so much fun to be around and their spirit just leaves you so happy. I have 3 dogs and 2 reptiles in the home. But on top of being good with animals i also am excellent with people i have been a manager trainer. And spokesperson for many of my jobs. I look forward to getting time to spend with your furry friend in the hopefully near future. I work a full time job as a caregiver for seniors but it's a standard 9-5 job so I am only gone 8 hours at a time. And home when I am off I don't go out much. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs and 2 reptiles. Everyone is friendly and all our own dogs are crated if not home.

About: What sets me apart is my experience, reliability, and genuine love for dogs. I’m a 21-year-old exercise physiology student who loves being active and outdoors—walking dogs is the perfect combo! I’ve dog sat and walked for many families and have two Australian Shepherds of my own, Georgia and Ruby, who I miss dearly while at school. I’ve also volunteered with hospice patients and babysat my whole life, so I’m comfortable with responsibility and care. Whether your dog is playful, shy, young, or senior—I’ll treat them like family! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m a senior at WVU with a flexible internship and classes only a few days a week. I’m available Tuesday and Thursday after 11, Wednesdays until 3, Fridays until 2, and weekends until 3. I love being outside and staying active, so walking and caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy and easily make time for in my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I always prioritize their routine, comfort, and safety—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of outdoor time, or just being a calming presence. I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and exercise, especially since I enjoy being active myself. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is in good hands!
