Dog Walking Squirrel Hill South

“Daniel was available very last minute to walk Clover when my plans changed for the day. He took care to make sure she was comfortable on a hot afternoon and was great with communication. We would book with him again!”

“Divya took care of my 2 dogs while we are on vacation. We couldn’t be happier.”

“Alexander took my girl Korra out twice a day for a few days and was amazing! My girl Korra can be very stubborn about where she wants to go on her walks, but he was patient and did great. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

“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!!”

About: Hi! I'm Tara. I'm a 44 year old dog/plant-lover originally from Pittsburgh. I live with a beautiful 10 year old 101lb. pup named Joe that I take care of everyday for the past 3 years. Maybe, you've seen us around! I have experience with dogs of all ages. I can follow an outline of your preferred routine for your loved one or create one, if you'd prefer. The dog is welcome to sleep with me on overnight stays, if you'd like. With me, your pet will be safe and well-cared for while you're away. Available for quick drop-ins, as well! I'm comfortable with giving Joe medicine, brushings, baths, nail-clippings, and tooth-brushings. I have great references from people that have left me in the care of their dog while away on vacation. Each dog was in my care for a week at my home and sent home happy. Prior to those sits, I lived with a roommate's dog for a couple of years. Currently I cannot host, but I am happy to come to you! We have a 10 year old 101lb Weimaraner/Pit mix named Joe Biden. He's patiently taken out several times throughout the day starting in the morning. He's fed 3 times per day with treats and snuggles in-between, of course. I WFH, so I'm with him all day. I'm more than happy to follow you and your pet's specific schedule. When pet-sitting, I take them out 4-5 times/day and try to give them a set of different routes to sniff in order to keep life exciting for them. However, a specific route will definitely be honored. I make sure that they are entertained and feel loved throughout the day.

“Amy is just *wonderful.*! Prompt, kind, knowledgeable, and great with my Millie. It gives me great peace of mind knowing she is walking and checking in on my dog when I am away and my partner is working long hours. Really grateful.”

“Ashley was so thoughtful in making sure we all--Clark included!--felt comfortable with her from the get-go, which I hugely appreciated. She was professional and kind, and when they went on a walk together, Clark came home happy and tired. I couldn't be more thrilled to have found Ashley!”

Elizabeth Y.

“Valerie has been wonderful to work with! I feel so comfortable leaving Finn with her, and he seems to welcome her company. She’s also very responsive and gives detailed summaries. I definitely recommend her!!”

“Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!”

Sarah B.

“Luke is awesome.He shows up on time.... And he's always mindful of my babies When walking them. He is quick to tell me how they did.And anything special that I need to know. Luke is exceptional, and I would highly recommend him.!!!”

Darlene U.

“Adisyn went above and beyond to care for our older dog and home. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely contact her in the future. You would be lucky to have her care for your pet!”

Cauliflower, my childhood dog, was one of the joys of my life and now, I get to share that joy with my kids by taking care of your beloved pet. We are a flexible, homeschooled family willing to take jobs during the day and on weekends. We value slow living and try our best not to overschedule our lives, leaving room for opportunities like pet care. We have a loving home and can cater to your pet’s needs. We love giving your pet exercise and play time which comes effortlessly for our 2 kids :)

About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.

“Times did a wonderful job walking our two dogs mostly while we were at work. She was on time, made sure our home was secure and the dogs were well cared for. Rudy and Dasher both said they loved spending time with her! We will definitely use her again!”

Colleen H.

“Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12. From pet sitting for families with cats and/or dogs, walking dogs for many summers, attending to animals when I babysat, and taking care of my own dog, Kurt, I have done it all! I take pride in taking care of animals, and love to spend time with them. Whether that is playing with them, walking them, or just caring for their basic needs. I currently also work a part time job, which gives me free time to take care of your pets most every weekend, and during the day Mondays between 12-5 and after 6, Thursdays after 4, and Fridays between 12-6 I will follow whatever schedule/routine you typically do for your pet in your home! I can feed them, fill their water, take them out, play with them, or even just keep them company for a bit!!

About: Hello! My name is Rachael, and I'm a graduate student who loves animals. My black cat, Zelda, has lived and traveled with me through six different countries and now lives with me here in Pittsburgh. I was raised in a household full of dog people and always lived with at least two dogs at any given time, so I have a lot of experience caring for and playing with dogs of various sizes and personalities. I also am experienced with caring for various other kinds of pets, from hedgehogs to lizards to fish to frogs. I'm a PhD student with a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I typically schedule walks and drop-ins for the morning or evening. I also have no classes on Fridays and a lot of flexibility on weekends! I like to fit walks and visits into my daily routine in a way that helps me to get some extra steps in. When petsitting in a client's home, I always review all the instructions carefully. It's helpful for me to know as much as possible about the pet, such as any health or behavioral concerns I should be aware of, likes and dislikes, etc. I always respect a pet's boundaries and prioritize their safety and wellbeing. I also make sure to check in with the client regularly and alert them immediately of any concerns that need to be brought to their attention.

“Sarah is great! My dogs love her and she is a great communicator. She even let’s put my elder pup who doesn’t get a walk and can manage my large doodle!”

About: I grew up living with cats and loving dogs, so transitioning into pet care in 2014 was a no brainer. During my years of dog walking with a DC based company, I met everyone from leash reactive large dogs to old dogs that needed to be carried down the stairs to do their business. I am no stranger to medication management and have cared for dogs with anxiety, dietary restrictions, UTIs (hello, vet visit!) and even terminal illness. I’m very communicative and I will absolutely send you photos of your pets. I can’t wait. At the moment, my only regular obligations are local comedy shows/mics at night and the occasional bartending shift if someone calls out. Other than that, my schedule is your animal’s schedule. My primary rule of thumb is to leave any place in at least as good of shape as I found it. I’ll sleep wherever you deem best and keep to your pet’s routines regarding food, exercise and medication. I will not invite anyone else into your home. Just let me know where any clean up tools are for cleaning up potential pet messes.
