House Sitting Aladdin

“Tina was outstanding! She gave me daily updates on how my boy Chef was and was overall very thorough with making sure he was well taken care of. I will be reaching out to her again next time I need someone to watch Chef.”

About: I have had dogs for my whole life and so I know that it takes to care for them. I work at a dog boarding facility at the moment and so I also have experience in a professional setting. I am currently working part time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pups! When I’m not at work I’m at the gym or at home! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your pups to play. I have a bernedoodle who is very sweet and loves to play with other dogs. I take Knawi to the dog park a lot and also on many walks, which I’m happy to bring your puppy as well.

“Natalie was great with our pup Finn. He ended up having a double ear infection and Natalie had no problem with administering his ear drops. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend Natalie and we have already booked her again!”

“Isabelle was wonderful with our two cattle dogs, communicated with us and shared pictures throughout our long weekend away. In addition, she cared for our home as we would, and cleaned up after herself. We had nice calm girls when we got home, to me that’s a sign they were well cared for and loved!”

Jenna S.

“Plachette did a wonderful job caring for our dogs! She provided regular updates, sweet pictures and videos, was reliable and made me feel very comfortable that our pups were getting good care while we were away. I would recommend her to any dog owner!”

“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”

“Vance was great! He kept in touch, sent pictures, and made sure our cats didn’t feel like the dog was getting all the attention. Recommended!!”

About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!

“Betty loves Kaleigh so much and Kaleigh is a trooper for taking our girl out in the cold to make sure she gets her walks in!!! I have such peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands while we travel”

“Ja’Vae was a terrific sitter. My fogs were calm and happy while I was away. She sent plenty of pictures and took good care of the home. I would hire her again.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my lifetime. I'm responsible, loving and believe pets can bring joy to your everyday busy life.They become part of your family. I am a retired teacher and mom of twin teenage boys. I have plenty of time during the day to care for my furry friends. My current home does not have enough space for me to care for pets in my space, but I have np problem coming to yours.

About: Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me. for as long as i can remember, i’ve wanted to take care of animals in some fashion. Rover is the perfect way to do that while i’m still in college! I work part time at Getgo on south pike rd, while also going to school full time for Psychology. I’ll be able to spend time with your fur baby after work, after school, and in my free time thursday - saturday. we have two golden retrievers who are the sweetest boys around. we have a front and back yard, neither are fenced in due to their size.

About: 🐾 Dogs are my #1 joy in life. I can relate to the struggle of finding someone you trust to love and care for your pups while at work or going on vacation, so when I dogsit, I think to myself "what kind of service would I want my dog and I to receive from my dogsitter?" and act acccordingly. I promise that I will give your fur baby all the love, attention, and respect that they deserve and that you would expect. 🐾 I want your fur baby to feel like they're on vacation when staying with me, and it's my goal that when you pick your dog up from my home, they are happy, fulfilled, and exhausted! Since dogsitting is my full-time job, I spend all my time supervising play time between dogs, playing tug, throwing balls, or going on walks/runs with the pups. 🐾 Your pup will be adored and loved in our home. We love cuddling, snuggling, belly rubbing, giving the best scritches, singing weird made up songs to them about whatever they’re doing, and showering them with new funny nicknames and praise. 🐾 I have been raising and taking care of dogs for over 15 years. I have experience with dozens of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, genders, fixed/unfixed, etc. 🐾 I have experience with senior dogs, as well as puppies. 🐾 I’ve been lucky enough to have three wonderful dogs so far in my life: Cody the Puggle for 16.5 years, who I raised since 8 weeks old and unfortunately passed away in January 2026; Cooper the Pug, who I adopted when he was 8 years old and passed away in 2021 at the age of 13; and Phoebe the Pug, who is happily still with us at the fun age of 2.5 years. She is a wonderful host to dogs who visit our home and loves to make new friends! 🐾 I am currently taking a dog training course. In my home, you can expect that I will use a lot of common commands and hand out healthy treats to reinforce good behavior. I love watching dogs learn, and am quite interested in training dogs and have trained my own dogs. 🐾 Any time I take on a new client, I refresh my memory by watching educational videos about the dog breed so that I’m prepared and know what to expect when caring for your pup. In fact, I am frequently watching videos about all types of dog behavior and training them. 🐾 Taking care of dogs is my full-time job! I'm an ex-CPA & ex-Corporate Accountant who just couldn't take "that world" anymore, and decided I was meant to spend all day everyday with dogs... so here we are! With me, you can feel at ease that my attention will be on the dogs at all times - no competing priorities! 🐾 I'm generally available for overnight boarding and daycare services any day of the week. I love repeat daycare clients and long-term boarding stays! 🐾 My schedule is extremely flexible - tell me what your ideal drop off and pick up times are and I'm usually able to make it work. I've had clients drop their pups off as early as 5am and pick them up as late as 11pm. I'm very adaptable and especially love helping out local healthcare professionals who have uncommon work schedules. 🐾 I'm conveniently located in Central Lawrenceville, right off the 40th Street Bridge. There is a parking lot right next to my house you may use so you don't have to worry about Lawrenceville street parking! 🐾 If you're unable to drop off and pick up your pup at my house, I may be able to pick them up and drop them off for you for a $25 fee (depends on my dogsitting schedule). Please confirm your pup rides well in the car! 🐾 Previous clients of mine can attest that I send TONS of videos and pictures while their pups are in my care. I only do this when safe to do so - for example, if there is a lot of high energy playing going on between two dogs who have just met, it's best for my attention to be on the dogs and not on my phone. I do my best to balance providing updates while also respecting your time. This usually results in about two updates via text per day, accompanied by lots of photos and videos. If you ever wanted to hop on a video call to see your pups live, I am happy to oblige! 🐾 For dogs attending daycare in my home (especially the high energy pups or pups that are accident-prone), I have set up half of my unfinished basement to be a doggy play area. The floor is concrete, and I have a futon for the dogs to hang out on if they wish. I like to use this area to let dogs play with one another, or sometimes, I toss a ball for them to chase around. This area is gated off from other parts of the basement. I do not leave dogs in the basement play area unsupervised. I provide plenty of fresh water in clean bowls. I love letting the dogs play in this area because they can just be dogs! No worries about ruining floors or furniture, and the floor is super easy to clean in case of an accident. 🐾 Low-energy doggies (and high-energy dogs that have exhausted themselves playing!) are welcome to hang out on the first floor of our house with the humans, usually in the form of watching TV and being couch potatoes with us at the end of the day 🐾 I have multiple gates set up around the first floor of my house. There is a gate that keeps dogs out of the kitchen - this ensures that dogs can't come in and look for crumbs, and it also serves as an added measure to prevent dogs from escaping my house when I have the kitchen door open. I have two other gates that prevent dogs from going up or downstairs. I live in a Lawrenceville row house, and the stairs are quite steep. 🐾 I do watch dogs that come from different homes at the same time, but I try to let owners know if a dog from another family will be in my home the same time as theirs. I am VERY thorough in asking questions during meet & greets to mitigate the risk of dogs not getting along with each other. When watching dogs from different homes, I do doggy introductions outside of the house - this is more successful than having the dogs meet inside since they are meeting on neutral ground (no territorial issues). Dogs from different homes are never left unsupervised together in my home. I am also very mindful of pairing dogs accordingly. For example, if I have senior dogs on my calendar already, then I might not be able to accept puppies at the same time, and vice versa. I always do my best to ensure dogs from different families are a good pairing before accepting the request. 🐾 While not as frequent, I do accept unneutered male dogs and unspayed female dogs, but NOT at the same time! So, if I am already scheduled to watch an unneutered male on a certain day, then I would decline any requests that come in for an unspayed female on the same day, and vice versa. 🐾 Dogs are ALWAYS separated in my house for feeding time. I use either the gates in my house (described above) or crates to separate the dogs, depending on the dog. 🐾 Toys are generally removed from the environment if we are hosting dogs from different homes. Dogs are never allowed to play with toys unsupervised to ensure they don't swallow anything or hurt themselves. Extreme chewers will not have access to any soft toys. I recommend that owners do NOT bring toys with their dog during their stay. 🐾 Generally, we spend as much time as possible with your pups during their stay, and try not to leave them alone. That being said, we may leave the house infrequently during your dog's stay. Rest assured, any time we leave the house, dogs from different homes are separated via crate or gate. Since we have a dog of our own, we generally do not leave our house for longer than 4 hours at a time - depending on the needs of dogs we are watching, we are willing to shorten that window to 2 hours; however, we are social people and we love date night! Dogs always get a walk before we leave the house, and we make sure they are well hydrated and fed. We also do our best to ensure they won't have access to any spaces or objects that could be a danger to them. 🐾 My husband, Dave, occasionally assists me in walking dogs and supervising play time. He may also watch the dogs if I leave the house. Rest assured, he is a great dog dad and has many years of experience handling dogs. 🐾 If your dog ever needs to go on a car ride while in my care, I have a dedicated space for dogs in the backseat of my car. There is a hard-bottom, waterproof dog seat cover, a comfy dog bed that is attached to the seat, and seatbelt buckles that attach to pups harnesses to ensure dogs cannot jump on the driver (me) while in-transit.

“Angel was the best sitter we could have asked for. They were great with Addie from the moment they met. We were able to really enjoy our weekend away knowing Addie was in great hands. 100% would book Angel again! Thanks again, Angel.”

“We had the absolute best experience with Kaylee as our dog and cat sitter! She took such amazing care of our pets and made being away from home completely stress-free. She sent us tons of pictures and regular updates, which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. It was clear from every update that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. On top of being wonderful with our pets, Kaylee was incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to the house cleaner and neater than we left it, which was such a pleasant surprise! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% book Kaylee again in a heartbeat! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and responsible to watch their pets and home”

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

“Holly was amazing. I will rebook her over and over again. She cared for my animals and also my home. She swept for me, and cleaned around the house. I couldn’t be more appreciative!!”
