“Thank you Faux for taking such great care of Rondo while we were away! Faux followed all of Rondo's needs and provided detailed information so I felt at ease. I will be booking again!”

“Briauna has been such a blessing to me and my pup! She has gone above and beyond to help me with not only walks but taking time to walk to my apartments management to get her own key working and being so easy going with a couple changes as I just moved to a new residence. It is the biggest relief for me to feel I have someone extremely kind and caring showing up daily to help my pup get his walks and potty while I am working and unable to give him as much time outside as I would like. I am very picky about who cares for him and enters the house and I can tell you I am very grateful to have Briauna to help us! Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: As a compassionate animal enthusiast with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets. Drawing from my diverse background as a mother, military veteran, and preschool teacher, I have built strong caregiving skills. In addition, in the past I have worked professionally as a veterinary technician for three years. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of owning various pets, including cats, dogs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, fish, pygmy goats, guinea pigs, turtles, and leopard geckos. Currently, I care for an English bulldog, a cat, and three guinea pigs. Having relocated to the Pittsburgh area in June 2024, I am excited to offer customized care solutions for your pet. As a preschool teacher with summers off, I am well-suited to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they require, treating them with the same kindness I show my own pets. My availability during the school year is limited to nights, weekend, and holiday breaks. I am currently working as a preschool teacher. This gives me the whole summer off which allows me to be very flexible to care for your pets when you can't. I am committed to keeping your pet on the schedule you and your family want for them. All while keeping them safe and loving them.

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I have also managed dogs with severe anxiety and certain health issues. I am a college student so until May I am limited to weekends. After May, I will be available workdays and weekends during the day and at night. I have confident skills in understanding dog and cat language from past experiences. I am also great at handling and crating dogs at their own comfort level.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who has been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a yellow lab, so I’m very familiar with the daily routines, energy, and love that dogs need. Since then, I’ve also spent a lot of time around friends’ and family members’ dogs, helping out with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them attention. I work full-time as a nurse, but my schedule is only three days a week, which gives me four full days during the week and weekends to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I have the time and flexibility to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a townhome complex, so I believe the best setup is caring for dogs in their own familiar environment through drop-in visits or picking them up for walks throughout the day. This allows your dog to stay in their normal routine while getting safe, attentive, and loving care.
“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!”

About: We are both students and work remotely, giving us a very flexible schedule. We are equipped with alternating schedules that don’t overlap, so your dog will always have company, or constant care if needed. I can promise that your furry companion(s) will be loved and cared for as if they were my own -in other words, Family. If requested or needed, I will happily crate your pup (please provide your own for your dogs comfort!) Our home has multiple beds, blankets, bowls, toys, and more to choose from if needed. However, if your pup(s) are making demands, feel free to bring some of their luggage:) after all this will be a luxury stay! Our only exception to taking puppies, is if they are fully potty trained, have done some sort of training, and OR have participated in k9 training. I am happy to work with and continue training cues if needed! I am no professional but am dedicated to keeping these pups lifestyle as consistent and laid back as possible. My husband and I both contribute to dogs staying with us, whether it is daycare or boarding:) However, I do the drop ins and dog walking on my own for fun! As a military veteran and remote worker my husband and I have a flexible schedule. We can and will prioritize your furry companion(s). My husband and I are able to adjust our routine to accommodate your pet's needs, including daily walks. We are flexible and sensitive to you and your pup(s) preferences, ensuring at least one of us will be present at all times. In our pup-friendly apartment, your dog will find a welcoming environment hosted by my pup, Batman. We have plenty of dog beds, bowls, blankets, toys, and more! However, please feel free to bring whatever your pup(s) may need to feel comfortable in our home. Routine activities such as walking, feeding, and ensuring your pup stays hydrated are carried out with care and attention. Whether it's overnight boarding or daycare, we prioritize meeting your dog's specific needs for happiness and comfort. We will also closely supervise playtime and monitor mealtimes. If your pet has no allergies, we typically have a range of treats they can pick and choose from. Feel confident that all fur friends are not just pets, but guests who are welcome on any and all furniture, for cuddles and love.
“Jennifer & Edward immediately hit it off at the meet & greet. Edward is on a recurring walk schedule & Jennifer has been very flexible with our schedules. Her reports on his walks are great!”


About: I’ve been working at Camp Bow Wow for two years, but even before then, I was a huge dog lover. I love taking care of dogs of any age or breed, and working at Camp Bow Wow has only made me love it more. I’ve been dog sitting my aunt’s two dogs ever since she adopted them, and I also dog sit for a coworker and a close friend. I am a senior in high school, so I’m not available during the day on weekdays, but the summer will be very open for me. I’m going to RMU in the fall, so I won’t be far at all and I have my own car, so I’d be able to make it anywhere to care for dogs. I adore both dogs that love to cuddle and dogs that just want to play! When I’m not in school, I’m usually working, but I get off at the latest 8pm. If I’m house/dog sitting, I’d come straight from work. If your dog eats lunch, I would come straight from school (I get out for work release either 12:50 or 1:40 depending on the day) and I’d feed your dog before I go to work. Fridays are the days I’m the most available. I am free after 4:30/5pm and I feel that is perfect for if you are going out and need someone to watch your dog until you get back home. I am unable to have other dogs in my home, as I have two dogs that can be territorial, and I don’t want that to affect your dog. As a Camp Bow Wow employee, I’m required to be certified in pet first aid, so I have the ability to perform CPR on dogs. If your dog has any medical conditions or needs special care, I’d be happy to help them with that, whether it’s giving them their daily medications or helping them up the stairs. Working at a dog place, I see all sorts of accommodations, so I will help in whatever way your dog needs.
“Ayla took great care of our dog Pretzel! She kept us updated throughout the way and was always so kind with Pretzel, even asking to leave extra water for her before she left! Would highly recommend and will be reaching out to Ayla for more walks in the future!!”

“Shaina was a great help while I was away on vacation. I had peace of mind knowing she was there to handle daily walks. She kept me updated daily and I know Munch looked forward to his walks with her too! Thanks Shaina!”

Mccandless dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emma has been wonderful over the past few months caring for our cannoli. She’s always reliable, caring, and great with our dog, and we truly appreciate the peace of mind she gives us each week. Today, she went above and beyond by helping feed him and give his medication while he’s been recovering, which meant so much to us. We’re very grateful for all the care and attention she’s shown him!
