“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jessica to walk my pit bull, Roxanne, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jessica is incredibly professional, punctual, and has a natural affinity with dogs. Roxanne, who can be quite energetic and strong-willed, took to Jessica immediately”


About: Hi! Working with animals is a passion of mine. I am a former dog trainer, I foster dogs in my free time. I recently received my Professional Animal Care Provider Certification so you can be sure you're leaving your pal with someone qualified! I have plenty of experience with dogs of all types from all kinds of backgrounds. I also have watched many critters throughout my life and can offer care to just about any animal you have in your home! I want to make sure your animals have the best time while you're away so keeping them active and entertained is important to me! I currently work 1 day a week so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friends. I live in a house with my husband and sister so someone is always around to give your pals love and attention. They will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. My goal is to keep your pet's regular routine as best as possible. I have several crates to crate your dog if that is what you prefer. But I also am happy to keep them out in our gated off kitchen living room area. We have a fenced in yard for them to run and play most of the day.

About: My parents have been breeding basset hounds since I was 6 years old. Ever since I can remember I have always helped my parents take care of our bassets. I would also help with the deliveries, which means I also have experience with taking care of puppies! My boyfriend has a pit bull mix and whenever I visit with him I will also help take care of his dog as well. She has a lot of energy so we take lots of long walks together. I work part time as a behavior technician so my schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly work evenings and I am off on Sundays and Mondays. I am also available most mornings. I am very good at sticking to a schedule and I am super organized so I will make sure that your pet gets fed at the correct time and has plenty of fresh water. I am an animal lover so I will be sure to give your pets lots of love and attention as well.

About: I view pets as part of the family and will treat your fur baby same way. I can come walk,play give treats and pets. Make sure water is clean and full. I am knowledgeable in meditation administraton and care for senior dogs as well as puppies and dog behavior in general. Working part time. It would be great for weekly but also here and there works too! Let me know what your looking for hopefully we can make it work! I am a foster mom and volunteer for Buddy's second chance, so I have lots of exposure and experience. I also have a fenced yard and taught my dogs neighborhood etiquette but have lots of leash walking experience and I am well versed on dog behavior. I carry treats to encourage trust and respect boundaries.


About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

“She was very caring and patient with my dog who is curious about everything and has to pee on almost anything he walks by. I definitely will have her walk Boomer again and I would recommend anyone looking for a dog walker to use Kylee.”

WEEKLY VISITS & WALKS: I am currently accepting new clients in need of weekly drop-in visits or dog walks. I have availability Monday-Friday.

About: At age 10, I started my own dog-sitting service from my backyard. Since then, friends and neighbors have consistently trusted me to care for their pets, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I have also worked with animals in a number of other capacities: behavior consultations, training and enrichment, rescue, and as a veterinary assistant—both emergency and general practice. I take a particular interest in reactive and fearful dogs. My own dogs were very high maintenance with epilepsy and severe anxiety, and my cat had diabetes, so I took their care very seriously. I treat other people’s pets how I would want mine treated, and that is with the utmost care and respect for the pet's and the owner’s expectations and boundaries. I am committed to providing a safe, healthy, and fun environment for each pet in my care. I work overnights, so I have time during the day to care for clients’ animals. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet and will spend as much time as possible with them. I keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I care for your pet in your own home instead of home instead of mine—it’s what they know and where they’re most comfortable. I’ll update you with pictures and videos often!

About: I care for my blind shih tzu at home, so I know to keep my eyes and ears out to ensure safety for any animal! I am a student athlete at the University of Pittsburgh, so I know how to balance and diligently prioritize things! I currently only am busy for about an hour and a half every morning, to get a run in. Besides that I am free the whole day to take care of and watch your pet! :) I make sure your pet is safe, and feels comfortable in my care. I know when to go slow if a pet is more shy, but also I love to take pets to parks, go on walks, and cuddle!

About: I have experience working with small and large breeds, with varying levels of energy and leash manners. I have also cared for senior dogs with high level medical needs. My qualifications include basic obedience training, monitoring play groups of large and small dogs, and canine CPR and First Aid certification. I am available during week days and most weekends, but please message me if you have questions about specific dates as my calendar does fluctuate! All dogs will be kept on a leash during walks. Safety first! I also have my treat pouch with me at every walk for positive reinforcement to encourage good leash manners.

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 4 years as a vet technician and now embarking on a new career within the pet field. I have fostered over 100 dogs in the last 8 years, young and old, healthy and some with medical needs. I love all fur babies big and small and look forward to this new chapter. I run a small hobby farm and am home 24/7 so available all day to relieve animals for potty breaks or playtime. With animals of my own we are sure to get them the exercise or needs met. I have a large fenced in backyard or a long tie out for those that can jump or climb fencing. I have some playful fur pets that can keep them company or a separate living room if your animal needs his or her own space.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home since the day I was born. I had 4 dogs in my home as a child. I currently have two kitties of my own. As I child I grew up taking care of animals, including playing, bathing, feeding and snuggling of course! I’m currently working part time! I only work one set day (Fridays) a week.

I have my own dog and two cats yet, always enjoy helping friends or family out with watching their pets, stopping by to check on them, giving the cats some love down to walking the dogs. My life revolves around caring for animals. When im spending time with my animals, they go everywhere with me and really enjoy car rides with the windows down, water/ice cups from Tim Hortons, pup cups from Starbucks, running in the parks, or just simply playing fetch in the yard. Animals truly bring so much happiness in my life! I have open availability to care for animals. Available unless I’m watching a client already. I do not watch more than one client at a time .

Shelby W.
“If there’s one person who can make a pack of Basset Hounds look like a well-organized dog parade, it’s Shelby. Not only does she breed these long-eared goofballs with love and care, but she somehow manages to keep them looking spotless despite their absolute commitment to rolling in mud. Shelby’s Basset Hound farm is basically Hogwarts for floppy-eared pups—magical, a little chaotic, but always impressive. Trust her to turn your slobbery, droopy-eared furball into a canine superstar. I highly recommend shelby’s caregiving and love of dogs.”

“Lucy took great care of my two dogs, a German shepherd and a morkie! She is very reliable and my family and I were very comfortable leaving our beloved animals in her care for two weeks.

She also sent daily pictures and texts and provided us with a sweet "report card" about our dog's training progress. She was also communicative and flexible with our changing work schedules. I 100% trusted her with both dogs and never worried when I knew she was coming over. Definitely recommend her!”

(Amputated goat legs, high anxiety dogs, special needs cats, she even helps rescue wildlife) She is a very caring person with a huge heart. I know my dogs are in good hands when they’re with her and my boys love to go over and visit for play dates. Your pups will be in good hands and I’m sure they’ll love Kay as much as my boys do. Unless she gets so busy she can’t take my dogs anymore then I take all this back 😂😂”
