Dog Walking in Squirrel Hill South, Pittsburgh, PA

“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”

About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My love of animals is probably one of my most defining characteristics. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats, volunteered at a local shelter throughout high school & college, & I now have a dog & 2 cats of my own! I’m also a certified Physician Assistant, so giving medications or injections is no problem! I recently accepted a job where I am able to work partially from home, which allows my schedule to be very flexible in the early afternoon to evening. I’m also available varying weekends depending on my travel plans! I’m very thorough & detail-oriented. I know what it’s like to want your pet to be in the best hands, so that’s what I’m here to offer!

“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 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.

“Brittani walked my pup for the first time tonight. I needed someone to walk him last minute and Brittani was available very quickly. She fed and walked Harry and also posted little updates to her Instagram page from her walk with Harry. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again!!”

“I forgot to accept the walk on my end and Jordan was so kind and did her best to contact me and even rescheduled on her end to ensure that my dog was walked. I was so busy at work and I can’t thank her enough!”

“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!!!”

“Alex has been absolutely wonderful! He has been very patient with Finn and allowed him to take his time warming up to him. Alex sends me daily photos which I really appreciate, and has offered to spend more time with Finn outside after noticing that Finn was enjoying it. I plan on continuing to use Alex’s services and highly suggest him!”

Shannon M.

“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals — starting with playful puppies and large-breed dogs. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between pets and their families. I've raised both big and small dogs and supported friends, neighbors, and clients by providing loving, reliable care for their animals when they couldn’t be there. I’m also comfortable and experienced around children and elderly individuals, which allows me to provide a calm, respectful, and compassionate presence in any home. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel at ease, knowing they're in capable and caring hands. I’m available to care for your pets during regular workday hours, with occasional evening and weekend availability as well. Whether you need a midday check-in, a weekday companion, or occasional support outside the 9–5, I’m here to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. I understand how important your pet’s safety is, especially when someone else is entering your home. That’s why I take extra care during every visit — making sure doors and gates are securely closed, checking surroundings before entering or exiting, and always keeping your pet's safety and comfort as my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your space and your pet, and I treat both with the respect, attention, and care they deserve.

“Elizabeth did a wonderful job walking my dog. Very loving and responsible.”

About: I have had pets my whole life- rabbits, ferrets, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. I also grew up regularly volunteering at my local humane society, taking care of dietary, sanitary, and emotional needs. I have professional experience in pet care at Animal House in Morgantown, WV while I was a full time college student. I am currently an Animal Welfare Advocate at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh :) I have a strong love for animals and strong attention to detail. Give me a checklist and I got you! I am most available during mornings and evenings, as I work full time at the Humane Animal Rescue, my schedule changes so my weekends can be different, just shoot me a request and I will get back to you as soon as possible with whether it fits my current availability. I have 2 cats and 1 snake in my home, who I have regular feeding and sanitary schedules. I pride myself in taking great care of my best friend, Miles, he is my entire world and I pay strong attention to detail in grooming and health needs including actively training and engaging in play. I am more than happy to accommodate your pets specific needs and have fear-free environment training for dogs and cats!

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for many years — not just my own, but also the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’ll always provide thoughtful updates and plenty of photos. I pride myself on being prepared and detail-oriented, and I’ll always ask the right questions to ensure your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality are fully respected. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I’m available to care for your pet during the day on my remote workdays. On the days I’m in the office, I’m free in the evenings. I’m happy to work around your schedule and accommodate your pet’s needs as best I can! As someone who loves being outdoors, going on walks and runs is already part of my routine, making it easy and enjoyable to include your pet in my day I live in a very walkable neighborhood surrounded by parks and families, which is the perfect environment for dog walks and check-ins. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and update with photos and notes to ensure an stress-free visits for pet owners!

“Thank you so much for your patience with my dog. My dog is vocal and it can be intimidating but she's really a good girl. I really appreciate the long walk and that she managed to put her back in the crate. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Sarah was really great with our 3 legged dog, Joy! She shared lots of photos and information about their walks and visits. She was very friendly and easy to work with.”

About: Growing up, my father had 7 dogs at any given time. Big dogs too. I can handle whatever your dog throws at me, because I'm basically a dog care veteran. I'm going to be working a part time unpaid internship soon, but a girl has gotta earn money to live in the city and go to college. I have the utmost respect for anyone who might invite me to care for their animal. I will repay that trust tenfold by making sure your dog is safe and healthy. I'll follow whatever specifics you have regarding your pet to the letter. Also, plenty of pets and love for your dog no matter what.
