About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes
“Connor has been an amazing walker for us! He always sends the cutest pictures, and he shows up on time to walk our dog. We really appreciate his kindness and patience.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has a family dog on the other side of the state! I have over 7 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, ranging from 3-month-old puppies to sweet senior dogs who want more love than play time. For the past 4 years, I’ve been trusted to walk, drop in, and house-sit for multiple families/friends, providing attentive, loving care while keeping their homes safe and clean. Whether it’s a nice day/evening walk, an overnight stay, or a drop-in visit for a couple of hours during the day, I make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and entertained. I love going for walks, playing fetch, playing with toys, and giving them all the attention they deserve and need! If your dog loves to lounge and cuddle while watching TV, they'll become a fan of reality TV pretty quickly. In addition to pet care while house-sitting, I will gladly water your plants, bring in and sort mail, and ensure your home stays clean and cared for while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like my own as I watch them, and your home will be cared for like it is my own. I currently work FT in health care, which only requires 3 days of work a week! While my work days vary week to week, I am a home body the other 4 days of the week so your pets will feel loved and cared for while your gone! Since I just bought my house, I am currently not offering boarding in my own home; however, I would be glad to stay over at your place (when available) and care for your pets! If you don’t have a yard, no problem! I will gladly take them for walks around the neighborhood and make sure their needs are met. If your pet needs a drop-in visit for love during the day, we can spend time playing, cuddling, eating some treats (if applicable), and take a bathroom break or two!
About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 9 years old, our house was always the go-to sitters for the neighborhood. I love and care for all animals as if they were my own. From walks to feeding to bath time, I have experience in all areas of pet care. I am currently a full time student in college although I do spend weekends at home. I have no job at the moment and wanted to explore my passion for animals this summer and plan to continue throughout the school year. I have two dogs of my own and two cats at my house so I have experience in different types of pets. We have raised our dogs since pups and trained them so I have experience in all age ranges. I am willing and able to follow the instructions given by the pet parent to care for their pet as best I can.
About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.
About: I have been involved in dog rescue for 10 years. I have dog walked and dog sat neighbors, family, and friends pets. I have Foster dogs for rescues in the Pittsburgh surrounding area. I also do in home dog grooming. ❗🐾 I am currently doing in home grooming so that leaves me available at home throughout the day Monday through Sunday which leaves me available to be Hands-On with the dog(s) I am caring for. I do have a fenced in yard but I also do like taking dogs for walks while I'm dog sitting. I do own a few dogs and a few cats. My dogs and cats are very well mannered and are dog friendly.
“Shannon is an absolute gem! As a newer dog owner and a very new member of Rover it’s been so lovely to have someone take the time to explain everything. I’m a fairly anxious dog parent lol and Shannon has reassured me at every step of the process. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
About: I had a dog myself when I was younger and often looked after neighbors and cousins dogs while they were out of town. I’m doing this because I like the company of an animal and will treat it well while it’s in my care I work full time and are away from my home approximately 8:15am to 7:30pm. I could be available for and later evening walk but my weekends generally to not have plans so I will be available for a lot more care during that time. I live in an apartment but there is open grass space in the complex and throughout the neighborhood. I would enjoy a long walk or visiting a nearby dog park with any pet.
“Hannah was amazing with Harper. Harper has extreme anxiety, and Hannah calmed her fears as well as mine. We were extremely satisfied with her dog walking services, and would use her again. We would also recommend her to any one that needs dog walking services. -Kim, Barb, & Harper”
“Linn is so sweet! This was my first experience with Rover and I’m so thankful that I booked with Linn. She went above and beyond and met with me/my dog a couple of days before walking her, just to ensure that my dog would recognize a friendly face coming to walk her. You can tell Linn is a total animal lover and is great w dogs. Wonderful communicator, can’t recommend highly enough!”
About: I've been taking care of my grandmothers pets since I was 9. I've learned to take care of tiny dogs all the way to very large dogs. Also learned how to take care of cats! I've learned how to know what care is best for each pet and knowing their limits and boundaries is key. I've also taken care of many senior dogs in my life. I love all dogs, cats and each one of their different personalities! I'm working part time on weekends only, and trying to save up for school. So I am very flexible when needed and I can do overnights as well! I am very dedicated to each animal and their environment! I can do anything needed for your pet, even if it seems a bit silly! I understand each pet has specific needs and wants and I am able to do it all to make your pet feel comfortable in your home while you're away! I can do overnight if needed! I'd keep in contact with you and update about anything you would like to know!
