Dog Walking McDonald

About: I have owned and cared for animals for 30 years. We have had animals big and small over the years, I love them all. I work from home so am available for mid day check ins or potty breaks. I currently own a senior dog on insulin, so am also comfortable giving meds. I work from home and suddenly my kids are grown. So I find my self with considerable free time. I am available for morning, mid day, or evening visits. Will care for pets in your home and ensure they are safe, fed and exercised. I know how important it is to know your pets are well cared for while you are we away. I will send updates on arrival and when I leave along with some photos of the visit.

About: Me and my wife are lucky to both have a flexible career which makes planning your dog's stay with us a breeze. We have been dog sitting some of our friend's dogs for several years whenever they are out of town and they actually told me to get on Rover so other pups can enjoy my space too!! I have experience working with dogs with anxiety and aggression towards other dogs, and special allergy and dietary needs. I have a lot of flexibility with my work and am able to be home throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, cuddles and treats! I am also available during the day to provide drop in visits and walks. I love all dogs, and can't wait to host yours! Extra house-sitting/drop in services: Water plants, check the mail, cycle indoor/outdoor lights. *Please fill out your dog’s complete profile in Rover, it is extremely helping in knowing if we’re a good fit!

About: I went to a vet tech program in high school which made me familiar with disabilities and health issues in pets. I have trained both my medium/large dogs and even one of my cats. I am comfortable with animals of any size or shape. I have also raised three happy independent kittens from when they were only just about a month old. I am currently working on getting a job as an EMT and applying to colleges, Currently I am available weekdays after 3 pm and weekends after 12:00 pm(this is flexible and I would be willing to stretch earlier in the day if needed but it is a general guideline). My availability once I get a job at an ambulance company may change but it should not be anything too significant. I can come over for up to a few hours a day to spend time with/ feed any animals in the household, I unfortunately can not stay overnight due to my own cat at home but would be willing to come over earlier in the morning and stay all day if necessary. If walking a dog we will discuss and plan a route, or discuss how long the walks should be for me to walk beforehand.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats when younger and a bit recently. Friends and neighbors have used me to check in on their pets and taken care of them. I have had cats for 12 years and currently have two 3 year old cats! Currently open for any/all bookings and have plenty of time for caring and loving for your pets.

Will be willing to do long walks if that’s what your animal loves!

I have had multiple dog and cat companions over the years. I have a background in biology and medicine. Experience with large, small, young, and old. Multiple pet house holds are welcome. Experience providing medication including insulin injections. Special Needs pets are my specialty. I love spending time with dogs. It keeps me sane. Plus I always have healthy treats!

We'll always be leashed up on walks. If you have a fenced in yard I will keep a watchful eye over your companion.

“Elliana was great with out pups. She had them playing so much they were tired for the rest of the day. All the pictures and videos were great and keep us updated on their activities. Best dog walker!”

About: I have had all kinds of pets from a young age, have a degree in veterinary technology, and have had several animal care jobs. Safety and communication are always my priorities! I am available full time for pet boarding! I take an occasional dog walking appointment but otherwise I am home 24/7. I have 3 years now of full time pet boarding experience! I have a half acre of fenced in area, and can separate my top and bottom floor of my home if your pet needs their own space! Outside play time is always supervised to ensure safety.

About: I am brand new to the Pittsburgh area & we close on our home in Bethel Park soon, but I am a long time Rover worker. I had several clients in Oregon where we are from, but am eager to get started here. I grew up in southern Arizona & have experience with all kinds of animals. I currently have one large breed dog that we got from a rescue out of Boise, but recently lost my little old man dog right before we moved to PA. I’m a true animal lover & am excited to get back into the Rover game in this area. I have no problem waking up early for a walk before breakfast, I have an hour lunch, & can spend the evening with your animals too. I have a fully fenced yard & live right by the walking path in Ontario. I do have a senior dog in my home & he can get annoyed with puppies, but honestly he doesn’t really acknowledge other dogs.

“Chris was fantastic with my dog! Even helped my elderly mother move the trash bin to the curb when I was away on vacation. Will definitely book again!”

I will love and treat every dog like there my own I’m currently available anytime I'm a college student so i may have to go to class or a workout but i have my own dog and he’s never left alone for very long. I prefer to will stick to plans but am available for any changes that may happen in everyday life.

About: I have been dog and house sitting for over 4 years. I love animals and will treat your dog like my own. I do have 2 dogs so I understand the importance of routine, especially while their people are away since it may be a confusing time for them. I love exercise so I’m comfortable with dogs of varying energy levels. I work full time but I am available for most mornings/evenings during the week and most weekends. Please contact me to work out specific dates/times :) When I care for dogs, I usually let them run around the house or my fenced in back yard if I’m home. I also have a designated (large) room for them to hang out in if I’m leaving the house or in case they need some quiet time.

“This is my second time asking Jessika to take care of my timid Dachshund, Harley. Jessika is patient, gentle and kind to my quirky pup. I leave Harley with Jessika without worry, knowing she is in the hands of a reliable, responsible and caring friend.”

About: I am a big dog lover and I have grown up around all sorts of animals. I love to hike and will take your dog with me! I also love cuddles, playing fetch, and anything else that your dog likes. I have experience with small and big dogs, as well as other animals. I am happy to meet all of your dogs needs! I have a house with all wood floors, so I happily take puppies that need a little help getting potty trained. I also recently fenced my yard! My pup is an escape artist so I have a dog gate that prevents dogs from getting out of my front door when I open it. If your dog is a puller on leash, I am very used to that! :) I am a big believer in positive training--I am happy to take puppies/dogs that are sensitive/need some extra help warming up. I think that fear-based/negative reinforcement training (things like yelling at dogs/pinning them to the ground--things that trainers still unfortunately do) are very bad and hurtful for dogs. You can assured that your dog will only receive encouragement and pets and treats at my house :) Also, one of my dogs has a disease that requires a daily pill and monthly shot, so I am very familiar with injections and pills. (I take medicine very seriously as I know the consequences can be dire of missing a dose). A little about me: I grew up in Montana and recently moved to Storrs upon graduation with my BA; I am looking to earn a little additional income and spend some time with dogs. I am a graduate student at UConn in the department of economics, currently. My schedule is fairly flexible and allows me to get home often. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I work from home other than a few hours a week, so I have plenty of time to exercise and spend time with your pup! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs! I only take one client and a time and I always do careful introductions with you there. In my home, we are careful and have supervised play time with toys.

About: With a lifelong experience growing up in a dog and cat household, I have cared for pets, including a diabetic one, ensuring they receive their special diet and medication with precision.
