10. Devin U.
“Devin was so incredibly patient with my little girl. I had just adopted her and he walked her when she was still skittish of everything.

I am incredibly grateful he was her first walker and would highly recommend him, particularly if you’re considering a walker for a shy dog!”

12. Heather G.
About: I’ve loved dogs and been surrounded for as long as I can remember; taking them on walks, teaching them tricks, and tending to their needs 🐾 At college, I don’t have my pup (Penny) and don’t quite have the resources for my own yet. So, I’d love to step in and help with yours whenever/whatever needed :)) I currently have two classes a day, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to tend to your dog!! I would be available on the weekends, to pet sit or help with caring for your pup. I am located in the Squirrel Hill area, so preferably would do neighboring areas :) I am in a rental, so unfortunately can’t board pets here. But, I can stop by or stay at your house to take care of your dog(s)! I am allergic to cats though, just fyi
13. Mary R.
“Mary was amazing while helping watch my dog Sir Charles. Whenever I needed her in a pinch, she would be there to walk him and even spend the day with him. She also was able to send me photos and wrote little notes about her day with Sir Charles. I would recommend her to any pet parent.”
14. Rachael S.
“Rachael was patient and kind when walking my sometimes stubborn and reluctant dog. She communicates clearly and promptly as well. Thanks Rachael!”
15. Giulia G.
“Great first experience with Giulia.”
16. Tony S.
“Tony was wonderful with Piper. She takes some time to warm up but he was patient with her. Tony is a natural dog whisperer and was able to go on a great walk with her. Looking forward to working with Tony in the future!”
17. Ananda A.
“and that is someone who has grown up with pets her whole life and is very keen to their needs. She is always the first one to call when a friend is going out of town and needs their animals taken care of. I have left my cat post surgery in Ananda’s care with no worries about his safety.”
18. Brendan R.
About: I've taken care of family and friend dogs my whole life. I've cared for dogs ranging from an 8 pound Maltese poodle to a 100 lb great pyranneise mix. I have puppy potty and obedience training, and have a puppy myself! I work from home 9-5, but am able to take morning, mid-day and evening walks with pups. I an able to watch for and care for dogs for the majority of my day. My usual plan is to tire the dogs out in the morning and over lunch, and work during the nap times! We also have a friendly golden retriever pup ourselves, who would love to meet new friends and play! We have an unfenced front and back yard, so I usually take the dogs on pee breaks there, but get the dogs exercise on and off leash in Frick Park daily. It's right up the street from our apartment. Our apartment is a straight, narrow open concept apartment, which is great for dogs to play and run around + play fetch together!
19. Aubree R.
“Aubree was a great dog watcher for my pup! She has such a loving personality and really treated my dog as her own. She would go above and beyond by taking him on walks, playing with him, and cuddling him! She would also send me a lot of photos of my pup!”
20. Angel A.
“Angel is an excellent sitter. She is trustworthy, reliable, and flexible. She has looked after my pets repeatedly, and I can always count on her to come through for me in times of need. She is a wonderful human who will show you, your family, home, and pet(s) the care and thought needed to make you feel safe to leave and trust that you will be in great hands. She will treat your pets as if they were her pets; with the respect, care, and love they deserve. You will not regret going with her as a sitter, trust me!”
