About: I've been the go-to sitter for my family for years because they know how much I love to be around animals. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two cats who are my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for you furry family when you are away. I am a freelance artist and am usually doing various creative projects in the Pittsburgh area. Which gives me a very flexible schedule to focus on pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I can usually accommodate short notice and regular routines. I'm happy to work with your pets specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my own home, I can only accommodate small dogs who are cat-friendly, since I have two cats of my own. Their well-being and yours are always my top priority.

“Megan was AMAZING with my fur babies!! This was our first time having someone we didn’t personally know watch them and I cannot say enough good things about her. She kept in contact with me the whole time we were gone and sent pictures everyday. She even crocheted a bandana for our pup. She put our minds at ease while we were away. I would definitely use her again.”


“Ananda is wonderful. She was able to help us out in short order and handled our senior Husky so we'll. Consistent updates and left our house looking exactly as she found it. 100% will use again and would recommend to anyone else!”


“We were very pleased with the service Brandi provided while she stayed with our dog Artie for 7 days while we vacationed. Brandi is very dependable and conscientious. She kept us updated at least twice a day and always sent a picture or two with each update. We could clearly see how well Artie did under her watch. She is also very neat and tidy as well as kind and courteous. She went the extra mile for us staying a little later in the evening as our flight was delayed coming home. We will use Brandi in the future without hesitation. Artie had a wonderful week and we enjoyed our vacation without worry.”


“Tricia house and pet sat for my two dogs and two cats for 6 nights while we were on our honeymoon. She was great!! The pets loved her and she sent lots of pictures which we loved. She went above and we would definitely book her again in the future!!”


“Erin is the most wonderful pet / house sitter!! We were nervous to leave our recent rescue with someone new and we are so happy we found Erin. She asked thoughtful detailed questions ahead of her stay which indicated to us how much she cared about getting the routine right and how attentive she’d be to our girl’s needs during her stay. Being a new rescue with medical needs, our dog requires consistency in her routine and feedback re certain behaviors and Erin took great care to follow our directions. Communication before and during was always quick and clear, and we loved receiving the many photo updates most of all! Overall, we found Erin to be extremely kind, thoughtful, detail oriented, respectful and reliable. She seemed to genuinely enjoy getting to know our dog. We will definitely be asking Erin to pet sit for us again!”
