Brigid

Brigid is a fan of all furry friends, but she has quite the soft spot for dogs. And although she doesn't have a doggo at home right now, she can't wait for the day she gets to rescue one from a local shelter. And in the meantime, she loves caring for and walking others' dogs as if they're her own! It feels like a genuine treat to get to know each dog and cat that crosses her path, and she can't believe that hanging out with adorable animals is her job!

Meredith

Meredith grew up with dogs, and her family has always had at least one in their family. She has been dog-sitting for people around her neighborhood since she was in middle school, and when she moved to Pittsburgh in August for graduate school, she knew walking dogs would be both a rewarding and fun job. She loves getting to hang out with so many different personalities every day, none of which fail to make her laugh! Meredith doesn't currently have a dog of her own, but she is a step-mom to an adorable tabby named Gus.

Robin

Robin is an animal lover with two cats at home: Squeak, a fluffy gray boy who only loves her and sometimes tolerates others, and Drusilla, a black cat whose chaotic hobbies include literally climbing the walls and dunking her head in the cat fountain. Although she doesn’t currently have a dog of her own, she grew up with one at home and has numerous canine nieces and nephews. Her favorite part of living in the Strip District is getting to know her numerous animal neighbors.
