About: Hello there, I am a certified Veterinary technician, I have been in wildlife and small animal care for the past 14 years while dog sitting on the side. I am new to the Pittsburgh area and looking to find new clients! My previous experience includes zookeeping and wildlife rehabilitation in the Boston area for 7 years and then working for a professional dog sitting/hiking company in Medford MA for another 5 years. I moved to Pittsburgh to get my CVT (Certified Veterinary Technician license) in 2024, and now work at a lovely little small animal clinic. I am well versed in animals with complex medication/therapy needs, such as insulin administration and exacting medication timing requirements. I am also very experienced with exotics, particularly birds. I work full time Monday-Friday so I am primarily seeking weekend and holiday pet-sitting arrangements. I am also happy to work in drop in cat care around this type of schedule as well. I have been dog/cat/house sitting in clients homes for 14 years and am experienced with maintaining specific pet routines and training schedules. I have a leave no trace policy when it comes to other peoples homes. I am also very happy to water plants and manage aquarium care as needed. I also do not drink or party, I just need a sofa and a good book. Because I work with animals and want to keep everyone protected I will require that all animals I watch be on a flea preventative and be rabies vaccinated.

“Wallis was very considerate to come and meet Murphy before our scheduled walk and visit. She was very dependable and came right on time to take Murphy out. I would definitely have her again”

About: I’m enthusiastic about furry friends of all kinds. I adapt to the personalities of different dogs in all sorts of settings. I love to keep pups company, play with them, walk them, wash them, feed them, and form genuine bonds based on kindness and trust. I took care of my dog, Sweetie, in my family home from the age of 7, handling all aspects of her care and it was wonderful to grow up with her. In any social gathering, I immediately seek out the family dog and spend time with them. I've cared for family and friends' dogs with love and playfulness all my life. I'm looking forward to befriending any pups you have, too! My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I update my availability every Sunday, ensuring I can provide dedicated and consistent care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, allowing me to devote the necessary time and attention to your furry friends. I specialize in providing pet care in the owner's home, ensuring your furry friends stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I make regular visits to feed, walk, play, and provide companionship, adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. This approach allows your pets to maintain their routine and feel secure while receiving the same love and attention they get from you. I prioritize safety and trust, building genuine bonds with every pet I care for.

About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!

Have free time now. Need something to do while I figure out my next move. I don't have a fenced in yard but I live on a flat easy walkable street. Im also a few miles away from several different parks. Your pets are welcome to lay and sleep on the furniture (its use to it) I have a big front window they can look out if they like. I can give them meds and shots if needed.

About: I have had a dog since I was 5 years old! I have taken care of my own dogs and others. I recently have taken care of cats, thanks to my friends who have them!

Please allow me to work with you on a time that works best for us both! Rest assured that your furry baby is in capable hands and will be treated like family. I will ensure that your dog's well-being is my top priority. I'll create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog to thrive.

About: I have taken care of dogs For over 20 years now and I love animals of every kind with all of my heart. I had a Japanese chin that I rescued as a puppy. He had Severe luxating patella in both knees. We had Ying Yang Tang (Tang) for 11 years and he did well after double knee surgery. I do love cats but I am allergic so I try to keep my distance if possible. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard that all dog love. . If you’re looking for somebody who will take care of your pet like their own, I am that person. Just like people, I know our dogs may have their own personalities and may require special requests. Feel free to communicate with me regarding any special needs your dog might have. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m working less than 10 hours a week. I have lots of free time. I have a daughter who’s 22 and she also likes hanging out and helping me with the doggies. My husband works 2nd shift. Most always someone is home. I own a house with a medium sized fenced in yard. No one in the house smokes. I do watch multiple dogs at one time. . My schedule is fairly flexible. I am home the majority of the week . I do work a little on Tuesday mornings . My husband works 2nd shift so he is here durning the day. My 22 year old daughter Is always around, she is currently taking all her college classes from home. We are all animal lovers! . I am currently working part time. I’m home most of the week except for sometime on Thursdays and Fridays but my daughter and husband are here the whole time I am away. I’m also available on the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard. Pups are allowed to sleep on our beds and they are allowed on furniture. We are always very careful during feeding. I also always have a meet and greet before accepting a booking to insure all the pups I watch are friendly.

“Elise has been very responsive and reliable. She arranged to come meet myself and my dog before his first scheduled walk. She gave me information about the walk, and provided a photo. We will absolutely continue to rely on Elise! She is super flexible as my schedule fluctuates often with my dog walking needs as well.”

About: I’ve taken care of small animals since I was a kid. I was always the student who volunteered to take the class pet home for extended breaks from school. Some of the animals I cared for included leopard geckos, hamsters, and Guinea pigs! I have loved animals ever since 😊 Besides class pets, I grew up babysitting my Aunt’s dog, Oscar, whenever she went on vacation or needed some extra help. I got my first dog when I was 12 and he’s still living with us today. I am offering all services for small to medium sized dogs. I am relatively free for dog care through Rover as I work a part time job in my spare time. I also used to have a job at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience with dog behavior :) I can assure you that daily walks and cuddles with your pup fit into my schedule <3 We have one small dog named Gizmo who is a 9 year old Shih-tzu mix. He is super friendly as he loves both people and dogs! We do not have a fenced yard but we regularly take trips to the local dog park. Additionally, we have a fenced deck where the dogs can get some fresh air. I know it can be intimidating to leave your pet with a stranger. As such, I try to make everyone feel welcome. I assure you that I am dedicated to your pet’s safety and well-being and promise to care for your pet as if they were my own. They will become a part of the furry family for the duration of their stay ♥️

“Thank you for going out of your way to take care of Sandy!”
