Dog Walkers in Wayne Heights, PA

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working with dogs through both training and in-home boarding. My background as a professional dog trainer means I understand canine behavior on a deeper level, allowing me to provide structured, safe, and low-stress care for every dog in my home. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs—from young puppies to more challenging cases—and prioritize clear communication, consistency, and meeting each dog where they’re at. Whether your dog needs structure, confidence building, or just a calm and reliable environment, I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Dogs in my care are part of a structured, trainer-managed environment. During the day, they are integrated into my routine and pack, allowing for appropriate socialization and calm coexistence. With board & train dogs on-site, I maintain a high level of supervision and structure to ensure safety and balance for every dog. All dogs are crated at night to promote rest and maintain a secure environment. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With over 5 years of professional dog training and boarding experience, I’m very intentional about how dogs are introduced, managed, and supervised in my home. Dogs are never left unsupervised together, and all interactions are based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience reading body language and preventing issues before they arise, creating a calm and controlled environment. At night, all dogs are safely crated to ensure proper rest and security. My goal is to provide a space where your dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: I've dog sat for all of my friends and family. I have trained puppies and do great with senor care. I can give medications, bathe, groom, play and walk your furry friends. My family's zoo consists of 2 horses, 2 dogs (was 3), 2 inside cats, and 4 barn cats. I'm disabled but pet care I can do. So my availability is wide open. Anytime day or night. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs who will make your dog feel right at home. They love playing with other dogs. My male isn't fixed yet. I love all animals and caring for them brings me so much joy.

About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.

About: I’ve had experience with Dogs and Cats basically my entire life, but took over caring for my childhood pets as they aged! Now I’m a pittie mom x2 with my boyfriend! I’m a college student currently, and work 3 days a week on breaks, so I have a pretty open schedule to fit various availability needs! To me, our pets are our family. I see my own as children and I dote on them and love them as such. Big or small, dogs or cats. I love them all.

“Jacob has been a wonderful dog walker for Zoey. He makes her walking experience enjoyable and makes over her and she just loves him. He's been very punctual and has walked the dog for the scheduled amount of time.”

“Kathryn was wonderful my dog Kacey liked her and she enjoyed her walks every afternoon with her. I know she’s going to miss her. And I appreciate all what Kathryn did for my dog, and she was very friendly professional, kind, and caring to my dog. I will be having her take care of my dog Kacey in the future.”

About: In my opinion, animals are the best thing in the world! Especially when they become pets. I am a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but I have always had other passions. One passion would definitely be my love for animals and nature! When I am not at the hospital I would love to get to know you and your family pet! I love all animals so much ... I got allergy weekly/biweekly shots (2 in each arm) to prove it!! I am super interested in caring for your family pet and making them feel like you never left home! I am interested in walking, sitting, home visits and boarding animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, etc!

About: Hi! My name is April. After growing up around dogs, my husband and I decided to get our first dog-a Hurricane Katrina rescue-as soon as we got married! Having a love for dogs evolved into a partnership with a local rescue in which I've volunteered for transport, adoption home visits, adoption follow up, and fostering. 3 dogs later-I enjoy walking the dogs around the farm, car rides(with drive thrus for pup treats of course!), and cuddling on the couch(our dogs know how to nap!). My friends know that my house is the "dog house" and that their dogs are welcome to come have fun and hang out too! I tend to be the "go to" friend when someone needs a pet sitter:) I specialize in special needs and geriatric care.

About: I've owned & taken care of a variety of animals since I could remember. I love every dog or cat I meet. As a fellow anxious dog parent I know how stressful leaving your baby in someone else's care so I strive to provide the best experience for everyone( or everypup) involved. I currently am a student and have pretty open availability to take care of your pets other than fridays and sundays. I am very flexible with timing as well. I have a fully fenced yard and cameras set up both in and outside to keep an eye on the animals. I have a dog who loves to play and would keep them company. I monitor the animals constantly both in and outside so they are never left in a situation where they can cause damage to themselves or their surroundings. I can follow pretty much any directions you have. I love to go on walks with dogs and provide proper enrichment into their daily routine.

About: Hi there! I’m a recently graduated physician assistant (PA) awaiting my hospital start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for your beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks to fill up my day meaningfully, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders. I’m a recently graduated physician assistant awaiting my start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.

About: I've been taking care of my own animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family started hiring me for pet care when I was still in high school. I love the stark difference in pet personalities and learning how each of them likes to be cared for. Examples of my past & present clientele: - A family with 7 chihuahuas of varying ages and levels of crazy - A brand new hyperactive Bernedoodle puppy whom I still care for regularly (she's 4 now!) - A sweet lab who liked long, slow walks and bananas - A moody cat who could not care less about me (I have slowly earned the blessing of giving head pats to them now) - A tortoise who inspires me to slow down and eat more greens *my home is a safe space for people and pets from all walks of life* I am available for early morning or evening walks and drop-ins during the week. I am available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday unless I have a family or social event. However, I am always open to working around my schedule and offering as much flexibility as I can - just shoot me a message! We have a large back porch and yard with a fenced area for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!

About: I have been around animals my whole life and truly think of them as family! I got my first dog at 5 years old and it was my job to take care of him everyday, give him baths,etc. I started watching other peoples animals when I was 14. I have done stop by walks/potty breaks since the very beginning and overnight stays since I was 18. I have experience with insulin shots, and other forms of medications. Pets are family members too, and they should be well taken care of! While you are away they will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I have a full time job working as a realtor, so your furry best friend will have a constant companion staying with them! I work mainly off my laptop unless I have showings set up, so your best friend will get all the cuddles, and love they can possibly get! While I personally do not offer in house boarding- I do have people I can refer you to who are absolutely wonderful, and who my parents trust their fur babies with! . Ask me for their info! I work full time as a real estate agent, so most of my time in doing work from my laptop! There are occasional showings and meetings that I will attend, but they are not long- few hours at the max. Because of my flexible schedule I can make your fur babies feel loved and comfortable while you are gone! I do not currently accept home services in my own home. We have a cat who does not do well with other animals as she gets scared very easily. So, at this time, no home boarding will be offered. This will be updated if anything changes.
