About: Caring for pets has always been part of my life, not just something I do, but something I truly love. I share my home with my big-hearted Golden Retriever Lucy Goose who brings joy, structure, and a lot of personality into my daily routine. Through her—and the many pets I’ve cared for—I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, medications, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also had the joy of hosting pets with special needs, recently including a vivacious little pug puppy with epilepsy. Providing a calm, consistent, and loving environment is something I take pride in. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection—just like one of my own. While away, your pet is my family and I am fiercely protective of my family. Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who’s very much part of my everyday life. Caring for pets is something that feels natural to me—it’s woven into my daily routine, not something squeezed in as an afterthought. My Lucy Goose is a large Golden Retriever with the sweetest, most gentle “little dog energy.” She’s very social, kind, and welcoming, and does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She has happily shared her space with smaller dogs and special-needs pets, and all interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I work during the week for about 6–8 hours a day, and outside of that time my life revolves around walks, fresh air, playtime, and creating a calm, loving home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, and I’m intentional about making sure every pet in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their quirks, honoring their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can truly relax. My home includes a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I supervise pets closely throughout the day. I also have a few pup gates to ensure safe calm and private pet feedings or if quiet time is needed. I also use cameras for added peace of mind and awareness while I am out and about. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I follow routines carefully, respect boundaries, and keep a watchful eye on behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. I communicate openly and provide updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and cared for.

About: I've been a dog owner for 16 years. I currently have a sweet German Shepherd puppy and in the past I've had a German Shepard, a boxer/lab mix and a full boxer. My family and I are also on the go a lot, so I understand needing help with the dogs when you're out of town. I'm excited to help take care of your fur baby while you're taking time away! I work full-time from home with a relatively flexible schedule. I am available to stop in the mornings and afternoons to let your pups out or to feed them. Evenings vary, but just ask and I'll see if I can make it work! I am unable to care for pets at my home at this time, but I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for caring for your pet at your home.

About: While technically I have zero years of “pet care experience”, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I can remember. My family has owned dogs such as Alaskan Malamute's, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and Labradors. Whenever a friend or family member has needed someone to take care of their pet while they’re away, I am one of their first calls. I have loved animals my whole life and this is a good way to help those that need it. I do work a full time job, however there’s a lot of downtime during my working 9-5 hours which gives me the freedom/flexibility to do this. I will be able to care for your pets however I need to based off the clients requests. As long as there is enough communication between the client and myself I will accommodate.

“Thanks Nicole for checking in on our pup while we were away ☺️”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments for years and am experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. Families rely on me to maintain feeding schedules, reinforce basic training, manage high-energy play, and provide attentive senior support. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication so owners feel fully confident their pets and homes are in responsible hands. I work from home, which allows me significant flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins. I service areas within approximately 20 minutes of 15237 and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I do have a standing commitment at the barn on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and once over the weekend, but I build pet care schedules around that to ensure animals are never left longer than agreed upon. Communication and planning are always prioritized. I maintain a clean, structured, and pet-safe environment whether I’m in a client’s home or hosting in mine. I follow feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, and behavioral guidelines carefully. I studied basic veterinary care, so I am comfortable monitoring health changes, administering medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I treat every home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and clear communication.

“First visit from Kalli and Brandi enjoyed it. All was great.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. My family has cared for many breeds of dogs including a Rottweiler, Great Dane, German Shepherd, Yorkie, and Chihuahua. I am the first person my friends and family come to when their pets need care. I have several years of experience walking, feeding, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I am currently a college student and will have lots of time to spend time with your pet. I am available in the afternoon/night and all day on the weekends. While caring for your pet, my time and attention will be completely devoted to their individual needs. While providing services at your home, my focus and priority will be on your pet as if they were my own.

About: Throughout high school, I dog sat multiple times for people in my neighborhood. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life including owning my own and constantly being around my family and friends pets. I just graduated college this May, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently enrolled in Saint Francis University’s Physical Therapy program. I’m home this summer for my clinical rotation. During the week, I’m in the clinic throughout most of the day. My weekends and mid afternoon on Fridays are completely open to hangout and care for your pups. By July 11th, I will be available all days of the week. Home/ Drop-in visits: I provide drop in home visits 3 times a day for when you and/or your family is on vacation. They range from 30-60 minutes each time depending on your preference and price. These consist of potty breaks, play, and cuddle time with your pups. Walks: I come to your house. These consist of 20-30 minutes walks with your pup to stretch their legs and get some exercise while you are gone for the day or working from home! Daycare: This service includes your pup staying with me for the day while you are at work etc. and can’t tend for your pups needs. I only take one dog at a time for this service that way your pup can get my undivided attention!

About: I love taking care of pets, both dogs and cats. I used to take care of my neighbors pets in high school and really enjoyed the experience, and would love to continue doing this as I work my part time job. While I do not have a let myself, I would love to get experience interacting with new animals as I love animals and have always wanted a pet growing up but never got the chance. I’m hoping this experience will inspire me to get a pet for myself one day :) I am currently working remotely on Tuesday’s and fridays and can pet sit while working from 9-5 pm. I am also available after 6:30 pm on MWTh, and am available all weekend for pet sitting. I live in a safe apartment where the pet can stay in our large living living room and go onto our patio for fresh air. I also live in a nice, walkable neighborhood where I will be able to walk the pet when needed.

About: I have had cats and dogs of every kind since I was a baby. I started volunteering at a humane society and loved working with animals. Since graduating college, I have been working in the animal field for over a year now. I dog sit a friends house that has multiple animals that take different medications and specialized diets. My friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs during their days at work. I work 4 days during the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. (10 hour shifts). I consistently have Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday off. I am always willing to stop before and after my work days as well. I take my dogs to parks or in open fields in the woods and let them run freely while playing with them. I take other dogs on long walks and play with them in the yard. Sometimes will take them to get a pup cup (if they like car rides and have no stomach issues). I always ask owners what their pets love the most, whether it is walks, playing fetch or enjoying a favorite snack!

“Melissa is so good with our fur baby while we are gone. She gives such detailed reports and makes you feel so comfortable while away from your pets!”

“Desiree is trustworthy and kind. My dogs love her! She was able to help me on very short notice and I felt comforted knowing she would be there to care for my pets.”

“Courtney was so caring and loving to our mini australian shepherd. Our dog is just a year old and this is the first time that we’ve had to go on an overnight trip without her. We were gone 4 days and our dog was very anxious. Courtney was a calming, loving and caring presence for her. She did an excellent job. We will definitely have her again and highly recommend her.”

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.

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!

“Chris was fantastic with my dog! Even helped my elderly mother move the trash bin to the curb when I was away on vacation. Will definitely book again!”

About: Hello!! My name is Abby. I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate awaiting my first job in the health care field. I have grown up with a mixture of dogs in my life, have dog sat for years and recently have gotten my own dog Odie who is a Basset Hound. I love dogs and love caring for them. Currently, I am not working so I am very flexible in my availability! I can do morning, afternoon or evening walks. I can also help with breakfast or dinner or anything else you might need for your pet! I am very accommodating and can do pretty much anything you need for your dog. I am comfortable with crating, working on tricks, going on walks and whatever else they might need.

“Sarah is amazing!! She genuinely cares about your dog’s well being and sends updates after each walk. Which as a helicopter dog mom, I absolutely love. I had only ever trusted family to watch my dog Nash, so handing him off to someone new was a big deal for me. Sarah made it easy by meeting Nash before his first walk, and I immediately felt comfortable with him in her care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I 1000% recommend Sarah!”
