Running Dogs Welcome!

Pet care experience

**About me** Animals are the best. Plain and simple. Having owned dogs all my life, I know what it takes. I have had three legged dogs, recovering dogs, and dogs who are fighting illness from puppies to seniors. Not limited to dogs, I love and enjoy all creatures. But, you probably see a lot of this here. As a competitive runner, I can provide your over active dogs the exercise they need, from distance to sprints to gentle walks; I am your gal:) **About my home/services** Sadly, I do have a puppy at home who is not quite ready to interact with other dogs. For the safety of all involved, the interior of my house is not ready for boarding, but I will happily make your home my own for the times that your pup (or cat) need some loving while you are away! **About my neighborhood** A family based neighborhood, off a central road in Mt. Washington. I am close to every borough in Pittsburgh, so I can easily come to you! ,. I am a veteran when it comes to driving with animals in the car (long road trips with three dogs have made me an expert) so if you want your pet to be taken to a park outside of the city, I can certainly do that as well! **What to expect** LOTS OF CUDDLES, runs, long walks, going to the dog park, playing fetch, Frisbee, anything fun really and lots and lots of love! **Special rules or requests** Small to medium preferable, but I have worked with large animals including Pit Bulls. I can pick up and drop off. Obviously violent animals are a no no and must have all shots. Housetrained or crate trained is a MUST.

Sammy seemed to do great with Kelsey! While away It was good to know he’d be well cared for in his own environment. Kelsey was very respectful of our home and easily communicated with me while I was away.

Kelsey was fantastic! Calvin is an older dog with vision and back issues. When Calvin and I first met her, we were both very comfortable Calvin took to her immediately. She was very knowledgeable and understanding of Calvin's issues. Kelsey was kind and very gentle with him. She adjusted her daily work schedule around Calvin. She would stop by mid day to walk and spend time with him. Kelsey was very responsible and trustworthy. I judge Calvin's sitters based on his personality and behavior when I return. It was as if I hadn't been gone. That is a compliment to Kelsey attributed to her obvious love of animals. I will definitely be contacting her again to care for Calvin

Kelsey is naturally intuitive and immediately sensed my elderly dog's needs and limitations without me saying a word. She is gentle, responsible, caring, thoughtful, and thorough. Trust her. Your pet will be in great hands.

Kelsey is my very mature 22 yo daughter. We have had dogs in our home since she was one. She has always been very loving and responsible around them. She enjoys taking them for walks, cuddling as well as being very capable of taking care of their daily needs such as feeding, baths, and making sure they get their medicine. She is very level headed should any emergency arise. For example she has had to handle dealing with the medical needs of our dog that was dealing with stomach cancer as well as tending to the last hours of our our 3-legged dog that was dealing with seizures and late stage cancer.

Information Kelsey W. would like to know about your pet

Something I think is very important is to have a little history of the pet, just so I know if they have any ticks or triggers so that they can have the best experience possible.

A typical day

We will take in the sights of the overlook in Mt. Washington and then make our way to the local dog park for some play time. Some treats and some cuddles and then a safe return trip back to their home :)
