House Sitting in Burgettstown

“Celia was so caring and helpful with Panache, who not only has separation anxiety when I’m gone, but also dealt admirably with his intestinal issues, including offering to take him to the vet. She is superb…and my house was so neat and clean when I returned. If I could give her a 10 I would do so.”

“Thank you Katelyn for taking care of our sweet boy while we enjoyed our anniversary trip. We appreciated the updates, cute pics, and having someone to snuggle with Archie while we were gone. Appreciate your help! Archie looks forward to seeing you again sometime soon.”

“She was so nice and sweet with our fur babies. Our youngest dog Deacon is every timid and nervous of new people, but he warmed up to her so quickly he was sleeping right next to her the same night she stayed. My husband and I have been recommending her to everyone in the family and anyone on here looking for a pet sitter.”

“Theresa is absolutely wonderful. I am a first time puppy mom and was a little worried to leave her alone but once I met Theresa, my worries melted away! You can tell right away that she loves animals and is so sweet, patient and gentle. She sent photos and videos throughout her visit, which I appreciated so much! I’m so relieved to have found her. If you need a sitter look no further! ♥️”

“Savannah stayed in our house for 3 nights and did a great job with our pets! She read our instructions carefully and followed them, including giving our dogs their medication and chasing our finicky pit bull around with his food bowl until he ate. The animals clearly loved her and seemed relaxed and happy when we got home. We know they are not the easiest pets to manage (both our dogs are 60 lbs and one is very dog-reactive) and she did very well with them. We will definitely request her again!”

“Wendi did a great job taking care of our whole zoo full of animals and was very diligent about keeping us updated throughout our vacation. We knew the animals were in good hands and didn’t have anything to worry about. We would recommend her anytime!”

“Gigi watched my 1yo German shepherd for a weekend and went absolutely above and beyond, she took amazing care of him and sent me several pictures a day of updates. She also left a detailed note of all the things they did while I was away. I recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, I will definitely book with her again :)”

“We had just lost our oldest Yorkie, he passed a few months ago, leaving our youngest Yorkie confused and anxious. We had to go out of town and dreaded the thought of having to board our little guy at a kennel. Charlie P was available to pet sit for us and I never imagined it going so smoothly and stress free. This is the first time he has had a pet sitter. When we came back our little guy was bouncy and full of energy. You could tell that he did not spend the past four days pining away, missing us. Charlie even left us a little letter '"from Oz to mom and dad', that shared his adventures while we were away. It was like a letter from your kid at camp. It was precious and so thoughtful. We will definitely call Charlie the next time we have to travel, and we may even consider travelling more often now that we know we can have a reliable and loving sitter for our little guy!”

“I recently met with and ultimately booked Almira, for house sitting service. She spent two nights in my home with my chihuahua, Leiha. Leiha is an elder chihuahua, with several health issues, and seemed at home with her. From our in person meeting, to her departure, she was punctual, engaged, and communicative. She sent updates, and kept me well informed. I plan to work with her again as future needs arise.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pets and pet care taking, and beyond that I have always loved each and every animal in my life to the utmost extent (to my detriment sometimes, I just get so attached). Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, amphibians, snakes, chickens, goats, ducks, and more! I am experienced with administering insulin and other medicines, and I am strict about not allowing them to eat any foods that aren't approved by their parent(s). I do not use harsh chemicals or fragrances on myself or in the home. I also have experience with the rare yet significant situation of coordinating veterinary euthanasia with the pets' parents in the event of major life illness/crisis. I have provided elder pet hospice care twice while pet sitting and innumerable times in my own life with pets I've owned over the years. While never pleasant by any means, know that your elder pets are in deeply loving, caring hands should something like this crisis arise. I provide video chat, trips to any vet of your choice (or an at-home vet I've worked with for years) to help us diagnose what your furry baby might be experiencing, and after you've talked with the vet yourself, watched over video chat, and decided to take the hard yet best decision for your pet, I am ready to help manage the process for a smooth, comfortable experience for everyone. I have had a family (my best friends and their children) on video chat while I cradled their cat through this transitional moment, at their vet's office with 3 nurses there to help us. Probably the hardest thing I've done in this line of work, but an important factor for anyone with elder pets who may experience their last moments while you are away and need somebody experienced and able to manage such a situation. Something we never, ever hope to occur, but if an animal is suffering, the kindest thing we can do for them sometimes. Just know they would be treated with the same care you would want to treat them during such an experience, and I would be in touch along every step of the way. And otherwise, I am happy to help and care for your pets at any age! And puppies at least over a year old I work part time from home, mostly from my phone, and am able to be present with your critters pretty much 24/7 save for the occasional errands! I am always happy to discuss the type of schedule your baby(/ies) might need! I still wear a high quality mask into people's homes during drop in visits (April 2024 and beyond!), I'm a covid safe sitter. I am always happy to take over a pet's routine in their home and adapt to things such as where they like to sleep, where they like to walk, and what their little quirks in the space might be. I make sure to keep items like foods, cleaning supplies, and vitamins well out of their reach, and I do a thorough cleaning of the space before you return as well!

“Tori did an awesome job. Our dogs were well cared for. She was very conscientious. We will definitely book her again!”

“Jarett was Excellent! I got pictures everyday and my dog was sooo happy! Jarett did a wonderful job! Highly recommend! Will be using your services again - Thank you!”

“I highly recommend Margaret, she was super attentive to my dog and my cat, Yumi has always been a suspicious dog and Margaret managed to win her trust and love! They spent a few days being very well cared for by her with a lot of love and tours, I will definitely hire Margaret's services when I need it again! I'm so grateful that she took care of my "daughters" ❤️ Thank you so much!”

“Dana was terrific! We were in town to catch a baseball game and needed a sitter for our 9 week-old pup, Chester. She was available on very short notice. She immediately put us at ease: Chester loves her! She updated us throughout their visit. She even gave us useful advice about miniature schnauzer nutrition and separation anxiety—she has mini schnauzers of her own. We couldn’t have been any happier, and we look forward to booking Dana the next time we’re in town.”

“Gabriel cared for my 2 cats and did an amazing job to say the least. He sent photos and always checked in with me to assure me everything was okay. He’s very personable and kind. I had total peace of mind with him watching my pets and I would highly recommend him for any pet sitting job!”

“Mariah is my sister and has been an incredible person to rely on when I go out of town and need help with my dog, Graham. She is caring, responsive, accountable, and always remembers to send plenty of photos when she is watching him. I know that when Mariah is responsible for Graham that I have nothing to worry about because he is in great hands!”

“Brittanie was fantastic! She worked with our crazy travel schedule and even brought some special treats for our pets. Charley and Kilo were so glad to have someone checking on them and doing walks and we were just so happy to have found someone we can trust with our pets. We also really appreciated the photo updates she sent and that she kept the lines of communication constatnly open. We'll definitely be using her again!”

“Shay did a wonderful job watching our pet while we were away. Shay took time to check in with us, send pictures and updates on how our fur baby was adjusting. Returning home we could tell our cat Pumpkin was happy and well taken care of. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take care of your fur babies just as well as you do, Shay is the person to trust!”

“Karie was absolutely wonderful caring for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was always sending photos of the dogs and making sure they were well cared for. We would highly recommend Karie for all of your animal needs!”

About: I’ve worked in animal care for over 5 years between a pet store, being receptionist at a vet, and being trained in basic pet grooming. I’ve cared for everything from a dog, cat, small animal and reptile. I also have a lot of personal experience since I am I huge pet lover. I’ve had many animals over my time but currently have cats and our newest addition, a cute pup who loves playing with other dogs. I’m capable providing full care for your fur baby. I am currently not working, so I am able to provide care whenever necessary for your fur baby. I would love a long-term set schedule with a client to build a relationship with you and your pet but I am willing to do short term clients as well! I have a small home with a decent sized yard for playing. It is not fenced in and is located more in a woodsy area. So there isn’t any major traffic on our road, which makes it perfect for walks! I do have a puppy, he is very playful and full of energy! He loves to play with other dogs and is extremely friendly. I also have cats, who are fine with being around dogs as well. They actually play with my pup! As far as other family members, my girlfriend works full time so she won’t be here as often. However, she also has a huge heart for animals and would welcome any pup into our home. I am currently a stay at home dog mom. Therefore my schedule is very open for pet care! I’m hoping to do it essentially as a part time job. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I will follow any rules given to me on care preferences by the owner and truly try to go above and beyond just care for the pet but to also have a friendship with them.
