“Miranda is wonderful! She took the time to ask questions to ensure she had everything needed to care for my dog, Mabel. She is caring and always leaves a very detailed summary. I am so happy and lucky to have found Miranda when I did. Mabel loves her and she has put my mind at ease knowing I have someone checking in on her that’s truly enjoys spending time with her. Highly recommend Miranda for your sitter needs!”
About: I grew up with cats but have rescued many cats and dogs over the years. I've rescued kittens, adults, and senior animals alike. I have loved many pets through old age, administer medicine, and loved them beyond their last breath. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I am a teacher who is off in the summer time. My schedule is flexible through August. During the school year, I am available on the weekends. I have rescued many animals, helping them get acclimated to their new setting. I rescued a half-starved kitten, keeping her in a separate room for months, giving her special care until she thrived. I have had senior pets and cared for a cat and dog through cancer, administering medicine. I have rescued a dog applying the 3-3-3 rule. I currently have a special needs cat who needs medicine twice a day.
“Lauren did the best job with Violet and took such good care of her. She was able to update about how Violet was doing and took such great care of her during her walk!”
About: I have a bit too much time on my hands and love animals. I've cared for dogs and cats for many years as a volunteer. I'm a complete pacifist and have too much love in my heart not to share it with more animals! I work part time in retail so my schedule is very variable. What's great about that is that I have availability all day some days! However, i don't have weekends off. I will treat your place with respect and cater to your pets' needs. They will be very loved and entertained. I don't offer my home for services.
“Did such an amazing job with my puppy! She was very helpful and gave some great tips and knowledge about dogs ◡̈ looking forward to being able to have her watch my dog again!”
“Maria was fabulous. She was consistent and kind and Kev fell in love with her. She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily feedback on his walks. We will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I have had pets since I was a young child. My childhood dog was named Kramer and he had medical issues with which I was responsible in learning his care. I have had my oldest cat since I was 11 years old (he is currently 16) and he requires daily medication and weekly injections. I have other cats who I care for full time and I assist in caring for my parent’s dog. I have babysat a newborn kitten for a week before, feeding her from a bottle every 2 hours, helping her poo, and keeping her safe. My one cat, Scruff, who has since passed away, was diabetic and I was responsible for giving him insulin twice a day. I’ve even cared for two hamsters for about 3 months. I have watched over birds before and I even have a pet tarantula who I care for. Overall I have a lot of experience in caring for pets and I treat any animal with the most care and respect. I am always able to find time! I do work a full-time job as a behavioral health therapist, so pets that can not be left alone for more than an average work day won’t be the best fit for me! However, I am always free on the weekends. I live in an apartment with two cats. The neighborhood is very walkable, but the apartment would not be suitable for a high energy dog.
“A great experience all the way around! Diesel and Dozer both love her. She is great with around 200 lbs of good boys on the end of 2 leashes. My boys kinda listen. Couldn't ask for more.”
About: I have taken care of neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s dogs plenty of times before, from small to big dogs. I am very attentive to detail, so I will be able to care for your dog’s individual needs. Most recently, I have cared for a miniature schnauzer puppy, a black lab puppy, and two mid-aged mixed breed dogs. I have additional experience with doodles, king cavalier spaniels, dauschunds, pitbulls, and pugs. I am currently studying to take my physical therapy board examination so I will my schedule is flexible. I am not working at the moment, but hope to get a full-time job after taking my examination at the end of July. A part-time job may be added in the near future. I am willing to feed them, walk them, play with them, let them out to the bathroom, and clean up after them. Whatever they need, I will willingly provide for them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and spent my last semester away at college lifting a lot at the gym, so there need be no worries of the dog walking itself. I enjoy being outdoors when the weather is nice, so if that’s something your pet also enjoys, I am glad to spend time outdoors with them. If they are more the indoor, cuddly type, I am to accompany them in that as well.
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.
“Hannah was great with my dog Daisy. She walked her while I was away on vacation and maintained communication with me everyday. When it was too hot to walk the entire time, she played with Daisy and gave her snuggles inside. I definitely recommend her and will book again.”
About: Hi! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Between over 20 years of pet ownership experience and having worked as a veterinary technician for 9 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care when their owners are away. My family consists of a menagerie of animals, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique care needs. Our family currently includes an older dog with medication requirements, two ferrets, several bearded dragons, and a crested gecko. Whether your pet needs medication administration, enrichment, feeding, or simply lots of love and attention, I understand the importance of following routines and providing dependable care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am studying for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines and visit times. In my own home, I care for and feed our pets daily, typically in the morning or afternoon, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and following specific care instructions. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, medication administration, or a customized routine, I am happy to work with you to meet your pet's individual needs and your preferred schedule. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your pet's daily routine. I cannot bring furry animals to our home as I have an older, reactive dog. If you give me instructions, I will make sure I meet their needs because every pet is different.
About: As a compassionate animal enthusiast with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets. Drawing from my diverse background as a mother, military veteran, and preschool teacher, I have built strong caregiving skills. In addition, in the past I have worked professionally as a veterinary technician for three years. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of owning various pets, including cats, dogs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, fish, pygmy goats, guinea pigs, turtles, and leopard geckos. Currently, I care for an English bulldog, a cat, and three guinea pigs. Having relocated to the Pittsburgh area in June 2024, I am excited to offer customized care solutions for your pet. As a preschool teacher with summers off, I am well-suited to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they require, treating them with the same kindness I show my own pets. My availability during the school year is limited to nights, weekend, and holiday breaks. I am currently working as a preschool teacher. This gives me the whole summer off which allows me to be very flexible to care for your pets when you can't. I am committed to keeping your pet on the schedule you and your family want for them. All while keeping them safe and loving them.

“Brianne is a fantastic person and does a great job with our difficult 1 year old puppy. She has a level of patience and understanding of his needs. I can’t recommend her highly enough and would use her every day if I could.”
About: I am a student who is looking for a fun interactive job and way to make money. I have a dog at home and have always been surrounded by animals and have previous animal care experience. I am a Graduate of Kent State and with such a flexible schedule I am needing some work while at home. I love all breeds and types of dogs. Big, Small, old, young and all. I also will do cats. I really just enjoy the presence of animals and will go the extra mile for them ( haha literally I will walk them for miles...) I would love to watch your pets and walk them and do whatever necessary. I can even help train. Having had roommates with dogs and cats, I was always in company of animals and offering to watch or take them out. I have always had a dog at home growing up and involved in the care take that comes with a family pet. Potty break are on the backyard leash or multiple walks. A safe clean house can ensure the best stay for your pet :) Thank You!
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 6 years and have cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From playful puppies to mellow seniors, I adapt to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who loves long walks or a cuddly couch companion, I’m experienced in creating a safe, loving environment that helps them feel right at home. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I work full-time during the week, but I’m completely free on weekends—perfect for giving your pet my full attention! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or long walks, I make pet care my priority on weekends. I also have flexibility in the evenings during the week for check-ins or walks, depending on your needs. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m always happy to spend my free time with furry friends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority—whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I follow any instructions you leave carefully and stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and free of anything that could pose a risk (like small objects, harmful foods, or open doors). I always keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime and provide regular updates so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be loved and well cared for, just like one of my own.

Ashton is absolutely wonderful! She is definitely a dog person - seen by all of the pictures she sends and the great summary of how things went. My dog Mabel is high energy and working on training - Ashton is knowledgeable about keeping things consistent for Mabel and asked great questions to make sure she had all information to care for Mabel. Will definitely continue to book!
Grace was great with our little boy! Very responsive & detailed in her walks with Berni. He seemed to enjoy his walks very much, & he was clearly cared for. We would book Grace again, & recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. She was even flexible when our plans changed last minute, & we are thankful for that.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
