Dog Walking in Terrace Village, Pittsburgh, PA

About: I've taken care of my own dogs for the past 14 years from puppies to seniors. I love animals, big and small and am available during the holidays. I am a full-time college student on break until mid January, with a very flexible schedule. I'm an active person excited to spend time with your furry friends! I have a senior golden retriever and a fenced-in yard at home. I also have many leashed and healthy and delicious treats I can bring with me for on-site sitting and walking.

“Linnea does a great job taking care of my dog while I’m not at home! She is very friendly and provides excellent updates to make sure that you know what is going on. She is responsive and gives peace of mind that your pet is safe while you are away.”

About: I've been a trusted pet sitter, dog walker, and house sitter in my Massachusetts hometown for over five years, building lasting relationships with both pets and their people. This past summer alone, I spent nearly every week caring for dogs, cats, birds—even a couple of lizards! I treat every animal like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants quiet company, I adjust to their needs with patience and love. What truly sets me apart is the genuine care I bring to every job. I’m not just doing this for extra money—I love animals, and it shows. I bring consistency, communication, and warmth, so you can feel totally confident your pets (and home!) are in great hands. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions with someone—and I never take that for granted. As a college student at the University of Pittsburgh, my weekday schedule can be a bit busy, but I make pet care a top priority! I’m typically available: Tuesdays after 2:15 PM Wednesdays after 1:00 PM Thursdays after 2:15 PM Fridays after 1:00 PM Weekends: Fully available all day Saturday and Sunday I’m based near the University of Pittsburgh campus and primarily looking to stay in that area, but I’m happy to travel a bit further for the right fit. I’m all about being dependable and working with your needs — just reach out and we can make it work! When I care for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable in their routine. I treat your pets and your space with the utmost respect and care, just like I would with my own. I have experience with a wide range of animals—dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle giants like Great Danes, as well as cats, birds, and even reptiles. I’m confident on walks and always in control, but I also know when patience and gentleness are key, especially with pets that may be shy, anxious, or energetic. I pride myself on adapting to each animal’s personality and needs. As a proud cat mom of three (including one who needs a little extra love and attention), I also understand the unique quirks and care routines cats often require. I’ll keep things tidy, stick to your pet’s routine, and send regular updates so you always know how things are going. I genuinely love what I do, and I work hard to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

“Took great care of our dog on walks and played with her indoors when walks had to be cut short due to extremely cold weather - very responsive and would book again!”

“Chloe has been incredibly reliable, helpful, and excellent at communicating! I'm so grateful that she's been available to walk our dog Ace while my partner and I are away at work. Ace absolutely loves Chloe, and we love that he gets great walks and attention when we're away!”

“Rosie and Rory immediately took to Ashley. They enjoy spending their days with her. She is very attentive to their needs and is doing some additional training with them. We’ve done walking, drop ins and doggy daycare. We will definitely continue to work with Ashley.”

About: I have dog sat and walked dogs since high school, taking care of my friends’ pets whenever they traveled. I learned how to navigate administering medications to nervous pets and help pets get accustomed to new environments. I also have a cat that I rescued from the street and learned a lot about patience, trust, and resilience. I am a resident doctor, so my schedule varies from month to month. However, I also prioritize fitness and try to get at least 10k steps daily. So I’m hoping to have a furry friend join me on my walks. I have a friendly, cuddly cat that is an indoor cat. He loves to eat, play, and sleep all day. He follows me around all day and is very polite.

About: I have had pets my whole life - from 3 big dogs that I cared for growing up to my 2 pet cats now, and even a snake! I love animals and will do whatever is needed to keep them healthy and happy while you are away! I can help with feeding, walking, medication, litter boxes, play. I unfortunately cannot board as I have 2 cats at home. I am highly responsive to animal signals and can interpret when an animal is feeling skiddish or aggressive and may need a different approach to maintain safety. I’m currently working part time with flexible hours, so I’m available to help out with relative ease flexible to your needs! Morning, afternoon, or night are all possible. I have experience with all necessary pet care from feeding, scooping litter, and walks to administering medication. I will put your pets care as first priority!

“Wallis was wonderful with my dog Gwen, would recommend!!”

Sarah C.

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.

“10/10 would recommend. She has a wonderful connection with animals”

About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!

“Great communication, interacted well with dogs, and got us out of a tight spot at very short notice after our regular Dogsitter/walker had an emergency.”

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since childhood and I LOVE them. I have fostered in the past and have missed dogs so much. My job requires me to travel a bit so I have resorted to Rover to get my pup fix! I can handle any dog and will make sure they are snuggled and loved to the fullest while also cared for adequately. I work remotely full time but have lots of time to go on walks and take care of pups overnight. My week changes from week to week but know when I travel for work a couple weeks ahead at least so should know when I am available. I will adhere to anything you want me to. I follow directions very well and am a bit of a perfectionist. I’ll make sure you dog or dogs are taken care of and loved.

“Shannon has been walking my pup for two weeks now and has been wonderful! The weather has been freezing and snowy and yet she has always showed up on time and has established a great relationship with my dog. She does a super job knowing when it’s too cold (or my dog just isn’t in the mood) to go for an extended walk and will just play with him inside a bit longer instead. Highly recommended!”

Chris H.

About: I've volunteered with my local SPCA throughout my time in high-school and college, I've encountered all types of animals (different temperaments, behaviors, etc.) and am able to love all of them equally and provide personalized care! I'm a full-time student however I do not have classes on Wednesdays, Fridays, and the weekends during which I plan to dedicate my full care and attention towards your pups! I have a nice cozy apartment with 2 dog-loving roommates. If your dog wants to laze and watch T.V I have a nice cushy couch! If the pup wants to run around and play I have a beautiful fenced in yard where your dog can run to his heart's content!

“Ally was great with our puppy, providing updates, and being flexible with our requests. She was great to work with. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Jeff A.

“Yasmeen is just the sweetest and truly cares about animals. She was so patient with my skiddish pup and did her best to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable with her. I'd highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and finally got the chance to adopt my own 3 years ago. I love my little girl Nellie with all my heart and I’m happy to share the love with your beloved pups by taking care of them too! I work part time so I’m available with some flexibility 3+ full days a week, as well as some hours on work days before or after my shift. I also work close to home and can come home for lunch breaks in the middle of shifts if needed. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog who may or may not want to be friends with yours, but she’s non-aggressive either way.
