Dog Walking Library

“Sid has been walking our 100 lbs. Doberman for a couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. We were hesitant at first for someone to access our home while we were at work, but Sid very quickly made us feel comfortable. Sid has always been punctual, professional, great with our dobie and overall exceeded our expectations; highly recommend booking.”

“Mia is an absolute joy! You can tell she is a dog person and I felt comfortable immediately allowing her to care for my fur baby. She’s very responsive, sends great updates, and I could tell my pet was genuinely enjoying her company! Would use her again and again. The best!!!”

“Kade was very nice and understanding when I needed to move our walk back 30 min, which I really appreciated! He went above and beyond in offering to arrive early to meet our dogs, and was more than capable in walking both of them even though one can be very reactive. Our dogs seemed to really like him and enjoy their walk with him too!”

“I am very grateful to have found Robin. I have a senior, female pit bull, who was abused before I adopted her. Lily senses Robin's kind nature. She has taken to Robin as a new "best buddy". She's happy to go on walks with Robin and looks forward to her visits. Robin is attentive and a great listener. She is also very punctual, which I appreciate greatly. She has followed all of my instructions perfectly (a rare attribute these days). I have found Robin to be very trustworthy. I give her 5 stars and would give her a 10, if possible. If you want a trustworthy, affectionate and kind hearted sitter, hire Robin.”

About: Special needs pets are my specialty. With over 10 years experience in the veterinary office and a previous 5 years in Kennel/Shelter medicine, there isn't a pet sitting request I can't handle! Over the years, I've owned and/or cared for pets with multiple health issues, including, diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney disease multiple cancers, heart conditions, urinary issues (both incontinence and blocking), along with pregnant and nursing moms (dogs and cats). The majority of my pet care is done in your home as I try to keep your pet's time/environment/schedule with me as consistent as you have it. My schedule is quite flexible as I've recently decided to take a sabbatical from the veterinary office to recharge and reprioritize. I look forward to meeting you and to caring for your furbabies.

About: I have been taking care of my pets and other people’s since I was about 12. Those include dogs, cats, bunnies, a mouse, and even a tortoise! I’ve also been a volunteer at a local animal shelter where I walked dogs and played with cats. As a kid, I used to spend my own money every Christmas to buy supplies for animal shelters near me and donate them. I was also a competitive horseback rider for six years which involves a lot of dedication to caring for and learning about the horses I rode. Animals have always been a huge part of life and they always will. I’m currently a junior at WVU with classes ending at 2:30 daily. I am available anytime after that for evening walks or let outs during the week. My weekends are almost always completely free with availability all day. I have taken care of pets in other people’s homes multiple times. I always make sure to follow the instructions left by the owner, and not overstep. As a pet owner myself, I understand wanting to keep a pet on a routine and wanting other people to follow it. I have no issues helping out pets that may need a little extra attention, as I’ve had pets with medical and emotional needs in the past.

“Tricia was thoughtful and always provided details and great pictures of our babies on the walk/sitting. We would highly recommend her.”

“Sheena filled in for my regular dogwalker when they were on vacation and she was great! It’s apparent that she loves animals and connects with them quickly! Always so sweet and communicative. I will definitely use her services again if/when needed!”

About: Hi! I’m Karsyn, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been a dedicated dog mom to my Mini Australian Shepherd for the past 5 years, and before him I grew up with dogs my entire childhood. I truly treat my pets like my children, and I’ll care for yours with that same level of love, patience, and attention! When my dog was a puppy, I enrolled him in training classes, which taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, and positive interactions. That experience gave me a better understanding of how dogs communicate and how to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. One of my absolute favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos of your pets to you! I basically turn into the pet paparazzi and love snapping pictures throughout our time together. If you want one update, I can do that. If you want one million pictures, I can absolutely do that too;) I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family member, so I love sending lots of updates to give you peace of mind, and hopefully a few photos worthy for your camera roll! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have no breed restrictions. If your pup is a strong puller, that’s no problem-I’m confident handling energetic dogs on walks as well! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited to book again! I work full-time Monday-Thursday and have full availability for pet care Friday-Sunday. Occasionally I can come evening during the week after work when need be I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I’d love to care for your pet in the comfort of theirs! My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Expect lots of love, playtime, and PLENTY of photo updates. I have a slight obsession with taking pictures of animals so If you want one picture, I can do that. If you want one million… I can definitely do that too! 📸🐾

About: Hello! I am a pediatric nurse in Pittsburgh. My primary job allows me to be flexible! I can come for walks and visits during the week. I have been helping out with family dogs all my life! I work full time as nurse, however I work three twelve hour shifts a week so I have flexibility! I can be available during the weekdays while you are at work! I would love to drop in for visits/take your dogs for walks! I would happy to sit for a while to keep them company. Whether that’s playing or giving them cuddles.

“Tiffany was fantastic! She handled my last-minute request perfectly and kept me updated with adorable photos of my dog hanging out with her kids. My pup seemed to love their company. Would highly recommend.”

About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!

“Very reliable and played with my dog.”

“Gary has been friendly and easy-going. Will definitely book again. I appreciate the attention to detail he gives each of the dogs and their walking/feeding habits. Thanks very much!”

About: My partner Jack and I love caring for pets! Both of us have been caretakers for pets practically our whole lives, including senior pets and pets with special needs, in addition to small animals like rodents and birds. Whoever you need help with, we’re more than capable. We are so excited to get to know your pets. With us, your pets will get all the attention and exercise they need during your busy day. We are both very attentive to your pets needs and do our best to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We know just how important your companion is to you, so safety is taken into consideration at all times. We keep dogs on leashes at all times when letting them go outside. I work as a barista at a coffee shop and Jack is an employee at Pitt. Together our schedules allow us to have at least 1 person home for most of the day. On rare occasions when neither of us are home, at most we are away for 3-4 hours. We have a large yard with a lead and 2 cats. Our house is moderately sized, with room for playing and relaxing. We are attentive to feeding schedules and potty breaks.

“Zachary's first walk with Jagger was a success! He had excellent communication and kept me updated with pics. It was clear my dog had a wonderful time because he was in a great mood when I got home. Highly recommended.”
