Dog Walking in Monroeville

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My first dog on my own as an adult is currently a senior. He is a very sweet and gentle dog who loves to play with new friends. I have about 10 years of experience, dog sitting friends and family members' dogs. I am comfortable working with food aggressive dogs, highly anxious dogs, and everyone in between. I am experience with administering medications, working with puppies and supporting senior dogs. I have a great track record with leash training, potty training and winning over anxious dogs. I use positive reinforcement (single ingredient dried pumpkin treats) to keep your pups attention and gain their trust. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand in order to gain your trust too :) I look forward to working with you! I currently work part-time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I am available for walks after 2:00 p.m. on those days and all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, but will be out of the house for the hours of 8-1 MWF. My partner works from home, so if your dog need 24/7 care we can arrange that. As I mentioned in my bio, my main training mechanism is positive reinforcement. I do not believe in punishing dogs. In my experience it does not work and does not feel good! That being said, I am happy to work with you and come up with a plan together.

“Connor was so patient with us today! Minnie is still getting used to new things so she didn’t go for a walk. But Connor was super professional and helpful!!!”

“When we meet Paul is was professional and friendly and we instantly felt comfortable and confident about him taking care of our dog. While we were away, Paul kept us updated on on everything such as his arrival time, how the walks went, and his departure. We especially loved the photos he sent of our pup.”

“Olivia is fantastic. She delivers exactly what you ask. Our girls love her. They get so excited when she comes in the door. When it’s raining she finds creative ways to exercise them and burn off the energy. She quickly learned our training keys and works hard to keep them consistent. We love having her take care of our fur babies!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have always felt passionate about caring for pets. I have trained all of my dogs since the time they were puppies until they crossed the rainbow road. I enjoy animals more than most people! I currently have 3 dogs that I walk, bathe, feed, cuddle, and clean up after and I wouldn't have it any other way. It would be an honor to help do these responsibilities for your animals! I am currently in PA school and graduating at the end of July. My class schedule is rather light currently so I have more availability! I am off on Fridays and have half days most other days of the week. I am very flexible and will communicate well with any changes in my schedule. I have 2 German Shepherds and a Golden Retriever who are the lights of my life, Marlin, Maddox, and Kali. I tuck all of my dogs into bed every night. They are fed once in the morning and once in the evening. Weather depending, we go for long walks around the block and we love to play ball! We occasionally go on runs as well. I personally bathe all of my dogs and understand the importance of pet hygiene. I would love to be able to help your pups get active and have fun!

“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!”

“Joe did fantastic with my GSD Kacie. He came by to walk her everyday that I was on vacation. (my dad was house sitting) Kacie had a medical issue before I left (a UTI) and Joe was able to move his schedule around to accommodate Kacie on a day she wasn’t feeling too hot. He showed concern for her wellbeing and communicated to me when she wasn’t feeling good. Kacie is doing much better now after finishing her meds. Joe also offered to help my dad give Kacie her medicine. He did a great job overall and I will be using him again in the future. Thank you Joe!”

About: I have had a life full of experience with dogs of all ages and types. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests, whether it’s giving medication, reinforcing training, or with extra love. My experience with customer service has made me reliable, communicative, and attentive to both your pets and you. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me :) I am a college student with lots of free time throughout the weekdays with spaced out classes and empty afternoons, my weekdays and weekends are both very flexible. I understand that each pet is unique and deserves personalized care. I can adapt to your pet’s routine and preferences. Upon request I can give regular updates, including photos, to keep you connected in your pet’s activities. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities!

“Dear Erin, Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Knox!!! We really appreciated your careful attention to Knox’s needs as well as all of your updates/pics, including if you were in traffic/running late. We look forward to using you in the future!!! Thanks, Erica & David”

“Jordan was fabulous to work with and stepped in amazingly last minute like a saint. I know Stevie (my dog) loved her time with Jordan and I’m so grateful to her :)”

“Jasmine is fantastic. She's kind and understanding and flexible. She works really well with the dogs, gives us a detailed report, is always on time and the route she walks provides them with good exercise. I love working with her and am so happy she's able to do two 1 hour reoccurring walks every week. I cannot recommend her enough.”

About: Animals have been my passion since I was young. I have volunteered at animal shelters along with rescuing my own dogs and cats from shelters and from the street. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am looking to possibly make this a career. I love to be outside and I am very organized and good at multitasking. I love walking and playing or even running with dog too. Currently I work part time at a hair salon and I have two school age children. I am open to hang out with any size dog. Feed them, walk them or just cuddle them! Hopefully your doggie needs a walk and I will be able to meet them very soon! Thanks so much for checking out my profile! I work part time with a very flexible schedule! I can make free time almost anytime! I love to be in the company of animals. I prefer to drop in to my clients homes. I have 2 dogs and cats at home so bringing more into my house might be hard at this point!

“Eric does a great job with Ella. We really appreciate him”

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs for many years. My neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to walk their pets, feed them and entertain them because of my responsibility. Actualmente trabajo a tiempo parcial, por lo que tengo mucho tiempo libre para jugar con tus perros, Estoy disponible cada día de la semana a partir de las 14:00h. I take care of pets in their owners' homes, walk them and prepare their food according to the owner's instructions. If your dog prefers to rest/sleep at home, no problem. I have experience in hygienic cleaning for pets, caring for newborn puppies and older ones.

About: Professionally trained in animal care at various zoological institutions. Graduate degree in zoological management with a wealth of experience and knowledge in animal husbandry. Willing to go the extra mile for you and your pets! Working full time 8am-4pm, so I am available most nights and weekends. I will do my best to be flexible and will do my absolute best to accommodate you and your animals needs. I offer the upmost care to my personal pets from dogs and cats, to birds and reptiles . I am willing to do what it takes to provide world class care my own pets and carry it over to clients pets.
