“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”

About: Born into a family of dog lovers, some of my earliest memories are daily walks with my grandfather’s dog. I grew up with a black lab, a chihuahua, a shi-tzu mix, and a golden retriever, and now own a 12yo cattle dog-mix, socialized with humans and dogs, and extremely well-behaved and taken care of. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t immediately bond with and have watched the pets of family members, neighbors, and co-workers dozens of times over the years. Work full-time but available on the weekends and work from home with flexible hours Tues-Thurs. I live a dog-centric life. My own dog gets 3 walks daily for 2-6 miles (as long as the weather permits) Frequent walks, hikes, trips to the dog park, and plentiful opportunities to go outside. Been through a wide variety of doggy illnesses and injuries and happy to follow any instructions and specialized care your dog might require.

“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!!”

“Highly recommend! Lindsey was amazing with my new dog and communicated very well before and during the walks. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I am a recent new graduate Physician Assistant and looking for employment. I have always adored animals and have pet sat for friends and families’ pets over the years. As a new graduate looking for a job, I have a lot of new free time on my hands and cannot think of a better way to fill the extra time that I have and to help make a little money than spending time and caring for animals! I am open to dog walking as well as drop in visits and overnight stays with you pet in your home! I will treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention that I give my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and you can trust that they’ll be in kind and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! My hours at the hospital very, however, they are typically four shifts per week during the weekdays at varying hours. I am usually free both weekend days. My availability changes quite often and I will keep my profile updated! I am open to walking or doing drop in visits before and after visits and overnight visits when available! Please reach out if you have specific questions regarding availability. I am comfortable handling pets with a variety of needs. I was lucky enough to foster a beagle with diabetes with my college roommates, and this required administering daily insulin shots along with several oral medications.

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals and this led me to pursue further education. I am beginning a career as a veterinary technician after two years of dedicated study in animal care. Now that I have been working daily with animals, I’ve gained first hand experience with animals, each requiring unique care. As a Vet Tech, I’ve learned many skills : - Administering medications - Basic first aid & Emergency response - Behavioral understanding - Clear Communication - Commitment and comfort in handling pets - Creating a calm and safe environment Every pet’s story is important to me, and I am committed to providing the highest level of compassionate care. I am available Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for drop in visits and dog walking. I would be open to drop in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays with planning ahead. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and routine. I stick to the pets routine as closely as I can to avoid any stress. I would love to provide playtime if the animal is up for it. No matter the home I’m in, I treat each pet with the same level of love and care.

“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.”

“I give this person five stars all the way! She was great and was able to handle my girl while I’m laid up with a knee injury. Thank you! She came on time and was awesome!”

About: I have been dog and house sitting for over 4 years. I love animals and will treat your dog like my own. I do have 2 dogs so I understand the importance of routine, especially while their people are away since it may be a confusing time for them. I love exercise so I’m comfortable with dogs of varying energy levels. I work full time but I am available for most mornings/evenings during the week and most weekends. Please contact me to work out specific dates/times :) When I care for dogs, I usually let them run around the house or my fenced in back yard if I’m home. I also have a designated (large) room for them to hang out in if I’m leaving the house or in case they need some quiet time.

About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.

“Excellent - personable, reliable and caring. Will repeat”

About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve owned a boxer for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, feeding, playtime, and understanding dogs’ different personalities and needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, check in on, and care for their pets while they were away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I recently finished student teaching and currently have interviews for teaching positions throughout the summer, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most weekdays and have open availability on weekends as well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines to help pets feel relaxed while their owners are away. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also keep a clean, safe environment and treat every pet like they’re my own.

“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”

About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!

“Abbigail was very prompt and professional with her communication, showed up on time, and walked our energetic puppy to get his wiggles out during a day that we could not. We were so happy to have her and everything went smoothly!”

“Great communication, sent lots of pictures. Would use again!”
