“Kate took great care of our cats and sent plenty of pictures. We also needed an extra day of watching them due to unforeseen circumstances and she was super flexible in helping us out.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. (my soul dog’s ashes are in my paw tattoo 🐾🩷) I grew up with Rottweilers and currently have two of my own, Gino & Haus, they're my whole world! I also have a handful of kitties🥰 My passion for animal care goes back as far as I can remember. From baby videos of me crawling on my dog and giving him a big hug & kiss, to completing a veterinary training class in 10th grade, where I learned the basics of animal health and handling! There even was one time I rescued two dogs on the side of the highway who had dug out of their backyard!! I now have about 3.5 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including two years at doggy daycares, where I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they're my own and I always try my best to give them a safe, loving, reliable person they can trust just as much as they trust you, no matter how long it takes them to warm up to me. Working with animals is more than just a job to me—it's what I love, and I plan to make it my lifelong career. I work at a doggy daycare with a flexible schedule, so my availability varies from week to week. I am almost always able to stay overnight for house sitting, and depending on my work schedule, I can spend all day, all morning, or all afternoon and evening with your baby. I always try to spend as much time as I can with your baby. (leaving work is as hard as you can imagine) My most common shift is 1:00 PM–7:00 PM, though I can also work morning, afternoon, and split shifts, though the weekday morning shifts are extremely rare. My weekday shifts are never longer than 6.5 hours, and the only time I may be away for up to 10 hours is on the occasional Saturday when I'm scheduled for a longer shift. On Sundays, I usually work split shifts, which means I'm able to come home and spend about 2½ hours with your pet between work periods. If it's a good fit for your baby and you're comfortable with it, I'd also be happy to talk about bringing them with me to my work so they can enjoy extra socialization, enrichment, and attention, while never leaving my side! I'm committed to keeping your babies routine as normal as possible and will always communicate my schedule ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect!! Your babies safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I love to take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and other special needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, as if you haven’t even left! I am experienced in administering medications, following food schedules, and providing extremely gentle and personal care. Walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I'll always make sure your baby gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and affection (and making sure they know it!!) while I keep their routine as normal and consistent as I possibly can! I treat every pet as if they were my own, and pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice and respond accordingly with any changes or concerns. You will also always get regular updates and photos about how they were and their day!

“There is nobody better than Brianna! Our three cats have shown love to her like we’ve never seen from any other sitter. Brianna is naturally loving, attentive to each animals quirks, and perfect to work with while on a trip. She gives us great peace of mind and a perfect person to work with!”

“Brandie checked in on our cat, Max, for four days last week. She did an outstanding job taking care of Max! It was nice to know he was in great care with her and we didn't have to worry about him. We won't hesitate to use Brandie again on future trips.”

“Katelyn helped me tremendously when my initial sitter plans feel through. Despite the short turn around, she took the time for a meet & greet, and my dogs really took a liking to her! She sent updates for each visit, letting me know how they were doing. Would absolutely recommend!”

Andrea G.

“Reagan was wonderful with Bowen!! Always on time and took him on a nice walk every day! She’s super trustworthy, I’d definitely recommend her to anyone! :)”

“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for our kitties when we are out of town. I feel better knowing she is there to give them snuggles when we can’t . We will continue to have Danielle visit when we are out of town.”

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I’m the friend people trust to take care of their dogs/cats while they go away. I’m adjustable to different breeds and needs. I will give them the attention and love they’re used to. I love going on walks so I will be just as excited to go! I am currently working from home, so I am flexible for different drop in and walking times. I am also able to accept last minute bookings if needed! I understand every furry friend is different and I am adaptable to learn their routine! When I am in your home I will do what is possible to make them feel happy and safe.

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety. Jessica popped in to take her for a walk while I was at work. Jessica was great with communication and sent me a picture while on their walk. Jessica was thorough, and asked great questions prior to meeting my dog. She gave me peace of mind while I was at work. I would recommend Jessica and will be using her again! 😊”

About: I have had corgis, very pushy dogs, my entire life. I have had puppies and elder dogs and have taken care of them and walked them through it all. I work more in the afternoon and night as a an employee at Plato’s closet so my availability is more in the mornings! I am very flexible and don’t mind sleeping at hosts’ houses even if it’s a week day! I am always ready to play with the dogs or just cuddle with them! Whether that be playing or laying, I will keep the dogs comfortable no matter what.

About: Having grown up with animals, I've developed a deep love and understanding for both cats and dogs. I have experience with all sorts of animals but especially love caring for cats and dogs! I have two cats from the shelter, and a senior dog who requires a little extra TLC. I'm experienced in giving medicine, senior care, walking dogs, and everything else! I'm committed to making sure your furry friends are happy and healthy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I commute between Wexford and my college classes at Carlow University. I'm seeking a flexible job that allows me to balance my studies with my passion for working with animals. I am available on weekends for dogs. I am also available all week for “drop in” cat sitting. I always put the safety and happiness of pets first when I'm in a client's home and my own home. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can always be on time and give them the attention they need. Plus, I have my own car, so getting there is never an issue.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. After caring for my own dog for the past 10 years and watching others over the years, I've become comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I'm attentive to changes in behavior and can recognize when a dog may be anxious or not feeling like themselves. With an active lifestyle, I'm also happy to provide walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise based on your dog's needs. I live in Sewickley Heights and know there are plenty of busy pet parents in the surrounding neighborhoods who could use a helping hand. Whether your dog needs a walk or potty break, some company, or fresh food, I'm happy to stop by and care for them while you're away. Most visits are about 30 minutes, but I'm flexible if your pet needs a little extra time. You'll receive photos and updates after every visit, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. For now, I provide care in your home, which is often the least stressful option for pets since they can stay comfortable in their own familiar space. If that changes in the future, I live in a three-story townhouse with a backyard for potty breaks and nearby walking trails that would make a great environment for boarding or daycare.

“Absolutely phenomenal as a sitter! Took wonderful care of our two very different cats and gave great updates and photos of them at each visit. The pets loved her. Will absolutely use Brianna again on our next trip!”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life. I am very good with animals! I am happy to feed and play with your pet! I also have experience caring for disabled and aging pets and am able to administer any needed medication! I currently work on the week days only. So my weekends are completely free to play and take care of your pet! I will be sure to give them lots of love and attention! I will treat your pet like my own and ensure their happiness and safety! I also follow any rules, expectations, or instructions you have given me!

“Jessica is great! I recommend her for any time you might need help With your fur babies!?”

About: Growing up I always had a dog and cats. They bring so much joy into my life. I am currently taking time off from nursing as we had our first son in August. So I am a stay at home mom. My husband and I have an English Cream Golden Retriever who is now 5 years old! I have experience training puppies, giving medications, walking dogs. Very flexible. Occasionally might have to have my 10 month old son with me for drop ins or walks. Would want to make sure cats/dogs are comfortable around kids. Thanks! They would get a lot of outside time! Large yard in the woods. Can keep them on a leash if needed as it is not fenced in.

“Thanks you for dropping in on Abby and Bailey!”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’m patient, active, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have. From belly rubs to playtime to making sure your dog feels safe and loved, I’ve got it covered. I have an extra-large, high-energy dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling big, strong pups. I’m also experienced with senior dogs and those with special needs. Whether it’s administering medication or helping them move around comfortably, I’m happy to follow any routine your dog needs. I’m currently working part-time and am flexible for dog walking, drop-ins, and dog-sitting. I can’t wait to chat to figure out the perfect schedule for you and your pup! I love walking my large breed Bernedoodle we go as little as a mile to five miles. I always carry water bowls on me for our walks and ensure the weather isn’t too hot.
