Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Banksville

“Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!”

“Ericka does such a good job either my English Springer Spaniel Bagel. She is super flexible and quick to respond if I ever need to change something”

“Amazing cat sitter with lots of attention to detail and care. She arranged a meet and greet before we left and sent lots of pictures with my cat. She was so sweet!”

“Krista did checkins on my dogs daily for over a year (until I moved out of the region). She also watched them a few times while I was on vacation. When she first met us, one of my dogs had back surgery, could not walk or stand, and had to have her bladder expelled daily. This is a lot of care for just meeting us. I was anxious about finding anyone to care for my dog in that state. Krista came into our lives like an angel and gave her perfect care, exceeding expectations. She is competent, kind, and conscientious, and she loves animals. She is truly one of the best out there. We miss her dearly. She will take great care of your pets!”

About: I am an artist based in Brookline~Pittsburgh looking to provide care and build relationships with furry friends in my community. My availability is flexible, so let me know what you need. I am conscientious, responsible, and communicative. I am also available for pet-portrait paintings and drawings by commission. I have spent my life with dogs and I know that each one has their unique personalities and needs. My goal is to be a consistent caretaker and companion to your pet. I have dog-sat, cat-sat, and walked professionally and for canine family members and friends. I know dogs and cats are special people who deserve care and companionship tailored to them! My schedule is flexible. I recently chose to change course from many years in retail, organizing and teaching. Impromptu offers are welcome. I'll always accommodate when I can! My home is spacious with many cozy couches and space to play. There's easy access to walks or jogs around the neighborhood, as our entrance is on a backstreet, not the Boulevard. I host with an adaptive approach depending on pets' preferences. I'll tailor their day to day routines to what their used to at home. Including loving attention, dining schedule, medication needs (if relevant), couch time or staying off furniture, frequency and activity level of walks and play, and whatever requests you have to help your dog be comfortable while you're away.

“Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!”

“Maria was readily available for a last minute booking and did an incredible job! We video called to show her the lay of the land and my girls just loved her!”

“Madison took care of my Jellybean the way I would. Each and every walk and drop in had video and pics that showed a happy dog who was having a great time. My dog is extremely sensitive and intuitive and he took to Madison right away. I would recommend Madison for drop ins, walks or any other service with your pets. She will be my go to from now on!”

“Kathleen was very prompt in her commitment for visiting Tumi. She writes a novel in each visit. 😁. She is very reliable. Tumi really enjoyed her company. I would highly recommend Kathleen.”

“Laura is great! She sent me lots of pics. It looks like she played a lot with my pup and even brought over her son to give my dog some extra love and play time. She even left me a pittsburgh magazine because I just moved here.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for years, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand how important routine and consistency are, and I always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I’m available for the weekends and some week nights! I’m available for boarding and walks to make sure your dog is very comfortable! I live in a clean, spacious apartment with easy access to outdoor areas for walks and bathroom breaks. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize regular walks and supervised outdoor time to keep pets active and comfortable. I maintain a calm, safe environment and always follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions closely!

About: Hi, I’m Kyna! I’m the proud human of Maple, my Bernese Mountain Dog, which means I’m very familiar with dog hair, muddy paws, dramatic sighs, and dogs who occasionally refuse to walk because a leaf looked suspicious. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. By day, I work in education and behavior support, so patience, consistency, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after the pets of family and friends, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow sniff walks, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping routines consistent. You’ll receive updates and photos because I know I’d want them too. I have experience with large dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, energetic dogs, and dogs who are absolutely convinced they’re lap dogs. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members!🐶 I’m currently enjoying summer break from work, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sniffaris, and pet care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and consistent. Whether that means sticking to a detailed routine, taking a leisurely sniffari, playing their favorite game, or simply existing in the same room while your cat judges me from a safe distance, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages because I know I’d want the same if I were leaving my own pet in someone else’s care. Fair warning: I may become emotionally invested in your pet 🐶🐱🐾.

“Matthew went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats. He followed instructions, but also brought in packages for us and cleaned the cats' dirty dishes which wasn't at all expected. I definitely recommend him!”

“Aliya was very kind and followed all instructions I gave her. She sent picture updates and let me know how the drop in visit went.”

About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm, where my mom also had a doggy day care. I’ve been doing this my whole life, and it is a huge passion of mine :) I work a full time job at a veterinary clinic, So i’m constantly working with pets and I have quite the experience! I feel very comfortable giving medication if needed or always updated you on your pets welbeing! I care for every pet as if they were my own, I do not leave anything out for pets to get into and i’m very proactive about everything when it comes to watching pets :))

“We are so thankful to have connected with Elise, she is a wonderful and caring person who has a genuine love for animals! She is super detail oriented, sends lots of photos and updates and that is so appreciated by this nervous dog mom! If you have questions or notes, she responds so quickly, I never worry that I won’t be able to reach her. If you are searching for a caretaker for your furry friend, look no further, you will be so happy with Elise!”

“Abby, was so great with our Sailor. She has a friendly, confident and warm way with dogs! Sailor loved her right away when they met. I could tell how excellent her caregiving was as he did all his routines great with her-- a walk, bedtime routine, ate his meals, was calm and great when we got home. He is used to us being around and I hadn't left him for an overnight for some years, so it is all the more impressive that he adjusted so quickly to Abby. Also, we loved getting the detailed updates and pictures! We are so happy we were able to have Abby help us for these couple of days and know Sailor will want to have her back! Thanks for taking care with all our little notes about things, Abby! Hope we can have you back soon!”

“Katelyn was very sweet and sent updates, along with photos of our cats. She followed our instructions and kept our babies happy. I will use Katelyn again for our future trips”
