Dog Walking Saint Clair

“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”

Samantha K.

“Thanks so much to Lara for filling in when my dog walker was out of town. It was so appreciated and I will certainly be contacting her again in the future for fill ins!”

About: I have two dogs of my own, a five-year-old rescue named Kinsley and a four-year-old Pittie named Cannoli. I grew up with terriers and have always been around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also had experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors since I was young and have experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I truly love animals and would be honored to care for your pets as if they were my own! I have full weekend availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I can offer daytime walks and drop-ins those days. I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins Monday through Friday after work. I work in-office Tuesday through Thursday but can accommodate overnight stays as needed. Since I have two dogs of my own, I currently offer walks and in-home pet care at your home. I follow your pet’s established routine and household rules, whether that means crate use, free roaming, feeding schedules, or any other specific care instructions. My goal is to provide consistent, stress-free care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

“Denyal is amazing! Very reliable, constant communication, suggestions for this new Dog mom, and pictures of him during his visit! Recommend her highly!”

About: Hello!! I've had my own cat since 2017 and am an avid stray feeder (and occasional trapper). I also volunteer at Kitty Queen Cat Rescue at least 2 days a week, usually doing morning cat care (but sometimes you can find me there during open hours). I feed all of the cats, replace water, scoop litter boxes, clean up whatever I might find, and give medication when needed. I encounter all different types of personalities and customize my approach to each one. I've been volunteering there since October 2025. I've also been pet sitting personally to friends since I was a teenager. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of animals and building trust with them, especially the shy ones. Truly nothing makes me happier than scooping 20 litter boxes with cats all around me. I also regularly take care of my friend's dog who is a spunky and reactive, but very sweet, terrier mix. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to my own cat, so I will understand if you need consistent pictures or a FaceTime call to calm your nerves! I once drove home in a blizzard because I couldn't see my cat on my cameras (she was completely fine). I'm also working on getting my Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification as I believe in preventing as much fear, anxiety, and stress as possible in all pets. Furthermore, I don't believe in assigning spite or malice to any animals. They are all innocent creatures to me. <3 I'm currently only working part-time so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets!! I can do mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc. One of the things I pride myself on is not only taking care of your pet like I would my own, but also your home. I'm a neat freak so I promise to leave it better than I found it! My least favorite part of taking a trip is coming home knowing my apartment would be a mess due to my cat sitter just not really caring. Not with me!

About: I've loved and cared for cats since I was 11, and my experience includes caring for cats with chronic and terminal illnesses. I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and medical needs. I've also fostered and boarded cats and dogs of all ages, giving me experience helping animals feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I'm comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications, and I understand the importance of following care instructions closely. Whether your pet is a playful kitten, a senior companion, or an animal who needs extra medical attention, I'll approach their care with compassion, respect, and the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is my full time occupation. I have nothing but time and love for your furry friends, and I will happily treat them as my own. I tailor my care to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize a safe, calm environment, consistent routines, plenty of affection, and attentive supervision. I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and household routines, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, dog walks, and companionship for pets of different ages and activity levels. If it's a 2 mile walk through Schenley Park, a short jaunt around a familiar fire hydrant, or a quick trip from bed to the couch — I'm here for it all! I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with chronic or terminal illnesses, as well as administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications when prescribed. Having fostered cats and dogs of various ages, I'm comfortable helping animals settle into unfamiliar environments at their own pace. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide thoughtful, reliable care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease while they're apart.

“Wallis was very considerate to come and meet Murphy before our scheduled walk and visit. She was very dependable and came right on time to take Murphy out. I would definitely have her again”

About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have two Labradoodles back home with my mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine—whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or a total Velcro pet who wants to be by my side 24/7. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is getting lots of attention, affection, and care! I work full-time in a fully remote position, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be home throughout the day! Working from home gives me the opportunity to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care while maintaining my normal work routine. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, overnight stays, and generally have full availability on weekends! I’m always happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine to ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as I can! I’m happy to stick to specific feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or any other instructions you leave for me. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and space. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always leave things just as I found them. And of course, you can expect lots of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for!

“Lindsey was wonderful! I appreciate her taking the time to walk with Ella. Ella was comfortable and happy. This is great practice for her to learn to walk with other people.”

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.

“Lauren did the best job with Violet and took such good care of her. She was able to update about how Violet was doing and took such great care of her during her walk!”

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 working with dogs for years! I have trained, walked, and cared for all dogs! Doesn’t”t matter the breed nor the size of your dog, I am willing to help care for any! I even have two of my own! Can’t wait to meet some new ones! I am free every day of the week except for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. Other then that I am free all day, morning or night! I will get acquainted to your home and make sure to keep it clean and things out of reach from your pet! I would treat your space and pet like my own!

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my friends/family for years because they know how much I love being around animals. During the day, I work professionally as a dog bather, which deepens my understanding and care for pets. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. With two cats who are my whole heart, I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family when you are away. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care. I’m here to help. As a professional dog bather, I understand the importance of routine and care. While I work during the day, I can be flexible with my schedule as long as I have enough notice. I’m happy to accommodate both short notice requests and regular routines, working closely with your pet’s specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.

About: We've had rescue dogs since I was 9 years old. I love big dogs, small dogs, big cats, small cats, and everything in between. I've even cared for bearded dragons and lizards! Our most recent pets, Bentley and Ming were both senior dogs that I helped care for until they passed. Missing them is partially what brings me here! To help love and care for dear pets. I am currently available throughout the week and weekends. Pet care is something I wish to make a larger part of my schedule. Besides my classes at Pitt, which I largely do work for online, I am free. I am able to provide proper nutrition, exercise, basic grooming, and affection. For my own pets, I make sure to maintain a safe environment, veterinary care, and offer socialization for their well-being.

About: I have been a volunteer foster at Centre County Paws for 8 years. I have fostered 8 week old puppies to 13 year old senior dogs. I have seen it all: separation anxiety, severe malnutrition, high energy, resource guarding, dog aggression, etc. Your dogs are my top priority and I want to keep their routines consistent as possible. I am an on-campus student at University of Pittsburgh with an accessible car. My last class on Fridays ends at 12, so my weekends and Fridays are mostly open for overnight stays. I am flexible for dog walking in mornings, evenings, and some afternoons during the week. I have finicky dogs, so I understand providing for a dog with specific needs. I can jog, play fetch, snuggle, and any type of quality time your dog needs. I will spend lots of time with your cats, cuddling and playing with toys are my favorite activities!
