Dog Walkers in Trafford, PA

About: I have worked in homes with dogs all throughout my life. I spent a year as a caregiver with a family that were actively training dogs from sizes 3 pounds to 125 pounds. I rescued my German Shepherd when he was 6 months old and dedicated the time to train him. He is amazing with other dogs and was a big help in training a previous roommate's dog. Your pet will be well taken care of, entertained and exercised in the house and fenced in yard. I will follow any training regimes you have set for your pet. I have 2 roommates that also adore pets, so there will always be someone around to love up on them! I work part time away from the house and my roommates work different schedules, so there is always someone home to feed, water, exercise and give potty breaks. I can crate if needed. Or separate if that is ever a problem. The fenced in back yard gives peace of mind for security and exercise.

“My dog Wally gets so excited when he sees Richard as he knows he's in for a great time. Richard is always on time, polite, and willing to help. Which is my first contact with Rover and I couldn't be more pleased.”

About: Hello! My name is Laura and I live in Trafford, PA with my fiancé, Nathan, and our 5 month old golden retriever puppy, Meadow :). I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets — not just dogs and cats, but also hamsters, chinchillas, guinea pigs and have even fostered a groundhog. I’ve grown up with pets all my life and couldn’t imagine a life without a furry family member. I’m comfortable with any and all pets including puppies who need structure, potty breaks, and tons of attention, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, extra gentleness, and close attention to their routines. I always keep owners updated so they feel connected and reassured:) I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and calm, even with shy, anxious, or energetic pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe and loved! I am a registered dental hygienist and work locally in Monroeville, PA. I work Monday–Thursday from 7am–4pm, but am available for evening walks and drop-ins. I’m fully available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for anything you need, including weekend boarding or day-care! I also have an entire week off around Christmas time, so I’ll be home and fully available for holiday bookings, extended stays, or extra visits during that time :). Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I build my free time around making sure your pets get the attention, love, and routine they need. We live on a 2 acre wooded lot and I have a fully fenced-in large backyard for secure outdoor time. My two-story home offers lots of space for relaxing, playing, or finding a quiet spot. I’m experienced with crate training and can follow any crate or feeding routines your pet is used to. I have my own 5 month old golden retriever puppy who is well trained, potty trained, and crate trained. She is extremely friendly and will be a great playtime companion!:)

About: I’m compassionate, I always do my best to control my attitude and remain positive. Which is great for my self, others, and their pets. I’ve owned several different breeds of dogs and raised most of them my self with the help of my parents. I’ve trained dogs (big and small) basic commands (come, sit, stay, lay,etc.) as well as groomed smaller dogs such Maltese and Bishon. I’ve done my own research on how to handle dogs, what emergency signs are and what to do Incase things get serious. I’m currently not working but looking for a job. So I’m almost always free in the morning times after class. All in all I’ve never met a dog that I didn’t get along with & love as my own.

About: My dog recently passed away after having my first not fur child. I don’t want to get another dog but I still want to pet dogs ! I miss jibby so much but he had a long good life and I’m honored to have had him as my fur baby. I live in a house in a quiet neighborhood with a nice backyard, however it is not fenced. There is plenty of room for a dog or three to run around and have fun. I’m ready to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own so you can do whatever you have to do. I am a mother now so I am used to getting up early and having routines in place and keeping many things organized all at once I have a crate if your dog feels more comfortable, mine did when I wasn’t at home. I have some dog supplies and common knowledge of first aid to help any pets in need.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 11 years. Before that I helped take care of my families dog when I was younger as well with feeding and grooming. Currently I have helped watch dogs at my home for up to a month at a time or going to a dog owners home to walk their dog, take potty breaks and feed/give water to the dogs. I love all dogs no matter the breed or age. I have puppy and elderly dog experience. I specialize in care for elderly dogs as well. I work from home and have a very flexible job so having an extra doggie at home or going to someone’s house is not a big issue for me. I have a gated back yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company if you would like them to be watched at my home. I have crate trained three dogs and have no problem crating your dog as needed at my home or at your home over night or in between home visits.

About: I started taking care of pets during middle school, I would watch my neighbors dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, and making sure they got their medicine. I have experience with all kinds of animals, and all ranges of ages, from puppies and kittens to senior animals. I also have experience giving medications I work part time in the early morning, I am done no later than 10:30 am. This leaves me with availability during the day and evenings to care for your animals I have a fenced yard and plenty of toys in my home, as well as another puppy for them to play with. I have a crate that can also be used. And in your home I want your pets to feel as loved as if you were there with them. We can spend time outside, as well as playing inside.

“Melinda did a wonderful job walking my pup. He came home pleasantly tired and was ready for a nap!”

“Gary has been friendly and easy-going. Will definitely book again. I appreciate the attention to detail he gives each of the dogs and their walking/feeding habits. Thanks very much!”

“Tara is a very positive person and was also attentive to my dog’s needs. My dog, Mickey was excited to see her and interact with her during the meet and greet session. He has had minimal caregivers in his life and I thought he might be a little shy or passive with Tara, but he was not! She helped him feel at ease right away. She communicated with me and sent pictures during her visit, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely ask Tara to visit Mickey again in the future.”

“Angelina was great with Zoe! She took her for a half hour walk which Zoe really needed! We’ll definitely be contacting Angelina for future dog walks!”

“We hired Justin to walk our dog Cooper for a few consecutive days while we were away. He was great throughout, coming to meet Cooper before their first walk and providing great feedback and details for each walk. I would definitely suggest him!”

“Had a last minute same day request for our 6 month old puppy Zari! Rebecca responded immediately and was able to accommodate the drop in/walk visit! Communication was excellent. We will be utilizing her again in the future.”

About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.

“Lia took my Bo for a walk this past week. She took the time to come over the day before and formally meet me and Bo; she asked questions about his care and proper routes and routines which showed she takes this job and every dog seriously. She was very prompt and communicated everything her and Bo did via text messages and Rover app with pictures (which I loved). She is super kind and calm; just what Bo needs because he is high energy.”

About: Dogs, cats, fish all pets have taught me loyalty. They are the epitome of that word, and I appreciate it so much which encourages me ever more so to treat them with care and kindness. I am a mother of 2 and wife. My spirituality is very important to me, so I need flexibility to carry out my ministry. This is perfect for that. I have a basement , most things for a cats stay and children who love pets! I also have a large back yard perfect for dog running!

“Dear Erin, Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Knox!!! We really appreciated your careful attention to Knox’s needs as well as all of your updates/pics, including if you were in traffic/running late. We look forward to using you in the future!!! Thanks, Erica & David”

“Olivia is fantastic. She delivers exactly what you ask. Our girls love her. They get so excited when she comes in the door. When it’s raining she finds creative ways to exercise them and burn off the energy. She quickly learned our training keys and works hard to keep them consistent. We love having her take care of our fur babies!”

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

“Blue loved his time with Jenna. She took the best care of him! Can’t wait to work with Jenna again!”
