About: For 10+ years, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors. Growing up with rescue pets, I have experience caring for anxious and distracted dogs. I also have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs with disabilities. I have a love for all animals, and can ensure great care, attention, and love will be given to your pet!! I’m currently working remote 4 days a week, with Monday as my typical day in office, although the day is subject to change per week. When working from home or on the weekends, I can let the dog out frequently, walk the dog everyday, play multiple times outside, pet and brush when inside, and give lots of attention to. I’m available to pet sit on my day in office as well, but the dog would not be let out between the hours of 7am-4:30 pm. When I pet sit, the dog is typically within my sight at all times. When at the house, the dog will be taken out hourly and played with frequently throughout the day. The water bowl will be refilled at least twice a day when food is given, or more if needed. Little objects or any choking hazards will be out reach for the dog, as well as food and other dangers. Walks will be given daily if the weather permits, as well as constant pets. Your dog will receive a lot of love with me!!

About: I got my first dog at 10 years old and have loved them ever since. I love to help get them outside and keep them company. I work remotely and have flexibility to pop in for visits and walks during the days and evening. We also recently lost 1 of our 2 dogs and would love to find more dog friends in the area. We have one senior mutt who spends the day with me and my toddler at home. He is a rescue who can be timid and appreciates his space at times. We love to take him for long walks and make sure he is comfortable with his people and surroundings.

“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

“Dan and Stephanie are absolutely the best! Our dogs are so happy when they come to walk them. I'm thankful I get pictures and videos of their visits. They have been extremely reliable and flexible with our dogs needs. Thanks!!”

About: Hi! I’m Karsyn, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been a dedicated dog mom to my Mini Australian Shepherd for the past 5 years, and before him I grew up with dogs my entire childhood. I truly treat my pets like my children, and I’ll care for yours with that same level of love, patience, and attention! When my dog was a puppy, I enrolled him in training classes, which taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, and positive interactions. That experience gave me a better understanding of how dogs communicate and how to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. One of my absolute favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos of your pets to you! I basically turn into the pet paparazzi and love snapping pictures throughout our time together. If you want one update, I can do that. If you want one million pictures, I can absolutely do that too;) I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family member, so I love sending lots of updates to give you peace of mind, and hopefully a few photos worthy for your camera roll! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have no breed restrictions. If your pup is a strong puller, that’s no problem-I’m confident handling energetic dogs on walks as well! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited to book again! I work full-time Monday-Thursday and have full availability for pet care Friday-Sunday. Occasionally I can come evening during the week after work when need be I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I’d love to care for your pet in the comfort of theirs! My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Expect lots of love, playtime, and PLENTY of photo updates. I have a slight obsession with taking pictures of animals so If you want one picture, I can do that. If you want one million… I can definitely do that too! 📸🐾

“It was our first time using Rover and Lindsey was an excellent companion and dog walker for our pit bull mix! Her report after each visit was thorough and usually included an extra anecdote about their time together and great pictures! Lindsey very concerned and asked for our advice when our dog wasn't eating much food when we initially left. We appreciated her initiative. When there was a big rain storm and they couldn't walk outside, Lindsey spent the time playing with our dog inside and gave him the attention and exercise that he needed. Overall a great experience and highly recommend Lindsey!”

“Jill is very reliable, caring, and attentive. My dog was happy, well cared for, and I appreciated the updates while I was away. We would definitely use her services again!!”

About: I went to a vet tech program in high school which made me familiar with disabilities and health issues in pets. I have trained both my medium/large dogs and even one of my cats. I am comfortable with animals of any size or shape. I have also raised three happy independent kittens from when they were only just about a month old. I am currently working on getting a job as an EMT and applying to colleges, Currently I am available weekdays after 3 pm and weekends after 12:00 pm(this is flexible and I would be willing to stretch earlier in the day if needed but it is a general guideline). My availability once I get a job at an ambulance company may change but it should not be anything too significant. I can come over for up to a few hours a day to spend time with/ feed any animals in the household, I unfortunately can not stay overnight due to my own cat at home but would be willing to come over earlier in the morning and stay all day if necessary. If walking a dog we will discuss and plan a route, or discuss how long the walks should be for me to walk beforehand.

About: I have been taking care of and training my own dogs for the last 20 years. With my love of dogs and desire to be active I am excited to get to know some new furry friends and give them some extra love & attention and get outside! I like to stay active and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available at different times throughout the week and possibly weekends. My goal is to safely greet and get to know your pet and get them outside for a nice long walk or short leisurely stroll depending on their needs.

“Daniel was awesome. My Great Dane is not well socialized but took to him right away. He has a very soothing and calm disposition. I would highly recommend.”

About: Hi there! I am a stay-at-home mom who traded in a full time career as a psychiatric counselor for the quiet life taking care of my son and our adorable pups. I have an undergraduate degree from Duquesne University, and a Masters degree from Cornell. I absolutely LOVE dogs, and it would be my joy to be able to spoil and love yours as well! We have a fenced in area of our yard to ensure the safety of your pup! I have always had dogs, growing up they were always part of my family. We now have three amazing dogs that we adore and love having as part of our little family. I am home all day, with the exception of an hour long errand a few times a week, so I am able to accommodate dogs of all needs! All rooms and surfaces in my house are dog friendly, and your dogs are welcome to play, lay, and snuggle anywhere they please. We have a crate if your dog should need some private space, but all of our dogs sleep in our bed so your dogs are welcome to as well! I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, training- all parts of being a loving dog mom! We recently moved back to Pittsburgh from Richmond Virginia and we live in a house with a beautiful corner lot & a fenced in dog area. I am home full time and would love to help take care of (and spoil) your pets while you’re away. I am flexible with scheduling and I would love to be able to help take care of your pets! I have three very friendly female dogs at home, who are cuddly and spoiled! We have a nine-year-old Havanese named Nala, a five-year-old Dalmation named Pepper, and a one-and-half-year old miniature Dachshund named Hoagie. As previously stated, our entire house is dog friendly and I am committed to making sure your dog feels safe and secure. We fenced in a portion of our backyard so your dogs can safely relieve themselves. We have a long lead in the backyard if your dog requires staying on a leash in the yard. We have a large yard with lots of room to run, and we love going for long walks in local parks!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, including cats, dogs, turtles, goats, chickens, and ducks. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m definitely a cat person at heart, but I absolutely love dogs too! My boyfriend is allergic, so having a dog of our own isn’t really an option. Pet sitting gives me the perfect excuse to get my dog fix and give them all the attention, walks, playtime, and love I’d give one of my own. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society, where I gained experience walking and handling dogs with a variety of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Recently, I rescued two separate litters of kittens and helped care for them, including bottle-feeding and providing the extra attention young kittens need. I also have more than 10 years of experience house-sitting and caring for pets for numerous families. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets that same care and affection! I work from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Depending on the distance from my work, I may be able to stop in during my lunch break, and I’m available after work and throughout the evening. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets and work around their normal routine. My goal is to make your absence feel like as little has changed as possible for your pet. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show my own.

“I highly recommend Candace she was a lifesaver during a very busy time for me. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was taken care of he even told me that Candace rocks.. meaning he was a very happy puppy!!”

“Our pup was chill when we returned home; relaxed from his long walk in the cold. Carly took him on a nice long walk and he is now, a few hours later, happily napping on my lap. Carly must have kept him moving since they did almost 2 miles! And he loves to sniff, so that’s impressive! Thanks for giving him a healthy diversion while we were out.”

“Maryann has been an absolute blessing! To find someone that appreciates all the sweet things about our Pup and treats him with such kindness and care means we have someone to help provide our doggo with dog walking when we really need it. She is so attentive and sweet to check in with me first before doing something. It’s lovely to have someone we trust so much, highly recommend!! (And thanks Maryann for everything you do for us and our fur baby!)”
