Dog Sitting Cabot

About: I have personally owned and cared for dogs of all sizes and am comfortable with handling giant to toy size. I also am experienced with cats, chickens, and water fowl. I am available to let your dog out or play with your pet early morning any day, after 5:30pm any day, and at any time on Monday, Saturday, or Sunday. In my home, I am very diligent about pet care. I have an invisible fence, but my dogs are still closely monitored while outside. This would be the same at your home. I follow instructions to the letter, and will provide any kind of care necessary to you and your pet.

About: I am a veterinary technician with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, monitoring post surgical patients, caring for our sweet senior pets, and working with anxious or reactive animals. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for and loved while they are away. Beyond my professional experience, I love all animals and treat them all as if they are my own! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them happy, healthy, and stress free! I am currently working full time but my weekends are always open! My work schedule varies greatly each week but I am always available for overnights! I am able to schedule around your pet if needed! When caring for pets in a clients home, my priority is ensuring they are comfortable and maintain their normal routine! I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, and household rules. I treat every clients home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving the absolute best care possible! My goal is to make your pets time away from you as stress free and enjoyable as possible :)

About: I have taken care of friends and family's dogs of different breeds and all ages. I have had dogs my whole life and have years of experience. I am currently on summer break from college and I am looking for work that I enjoy and can balance my art career with. Dog sitting is perfect for me as it is something I love to do but also gives me the time I need for my career. At home, I have a fenced in yard and make sure my dogs go outside about every 2-4 hours. They get breakfast and dinner around the same time everyday. Because of my dogs anxiety issues, I also groom them at home. I am very attentive and patient with any animal I interact with.

“Melanie was fantastic. She arrived on time and sent us great pictures of our fur babies. Definitely will use her again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! With the occasional rabbit or fish. I have two dogs of my own now, Bo-Jack and Moose and my love for animals has only grown! I love helping other people care for their pets (aka their family💜) when they need a helping hand! I have house sit, walked, and cared for both dogs and cats for over 10 years. I am a teacher so I have summers off! I am free almost all day everyday until mid to late August and then I will be free in the evenings and on weekends once school starts! When caring for pets in the clients home I am sure that when I leave it looks like I was never there! (Other than a happier pet of course). I triple check all locks and anything that needs to be cleaned up and/or put away.

About: I love spending time outdoors and bringing that same energy to the pets I care for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some fresh-air enrichment, I make sure every visit fits your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments and treat each one like my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine since I already have three cats of my own. I also have had dogs all my life. I’m used to keeping a steady schedule for feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so adding drop-in visits fits easily into my day. Flexibility sets me apart from the rest, as I accept same day bookings. I make sure every visit gets my full attention and that pets feel calm and cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, and food portions to ensure everything is secure and every pet feels comfortable and stress-free.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid, and neighbors, friends, and families have trusted me for years. I have experience walking, feeding, and playing with pets of all sizes, and I’m dependable, active, and caring. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or just giving pets extra attention, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved while you’re away My schedule is flexible during the week, and I’m available for afternoon walks and evening drop-ins, as well as weekends.

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.

“Amy was fantastic!! My whole family was heading out of town for a family wedding. I never had to have someone other than family watch my beloved "old man". Amy took great care of Marley. He wasn't at all stressed when I got home! I am sure I'll be booking Amy again! She even brought in my heavy Chewy box!! :)”

About: Having grown up with several dogs, I've developed a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of their needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience looking after and walking other people's dogs and pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I've always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time outdoors, making dog walking the perfect way for me to combine both passions. I am dependable, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every dog receives the exercise, care, and affection they deserve. As a recent college graduate, I have full availability this summer before starting my first teaching position in the fall, making me a reliable and flexible option for your pet care needs. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine when caring for them in and out of a client's home. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, and any specific preferences or restrictions. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I strive to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. During walks, I ensure dogs are safely leashed, hydrated when needed, and given appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and individual needs.

About: 🐶 Having been surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for their care. Growing up with dogs and raising my own, Harlow 🐾, from a puppy, has given me firsthand experience in fostering their well-being. My passion for animals extends beyond personal experience—participation in clubs at the Pittsburgh Zoo 🦁 provided me with valuable insights into animal behavior and care, further enhancing my knowledge. Being from Pittsburgh, I am fluent with many resources for me to enjoy with pets. 🐕‍🦺 My pet care journey started in 2014 with my first job at a dog care store on Butler Street, where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. During my internship with the Water Authority in Bradford, PA, I dedicated my lunch breaks to volunteering at the local SPCA 🏠, offering love and attention to animals in need. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated, knowledgeable, and empathetic sitter. 💛 As an alumni M.S. engineering student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for my pets. I can easily fit dog walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine, ensuring each pet gets the attention it deserves. My love for animals and adaptable schedule make it easy to prioritize their well-being. I currently care for two dogs, my mother's and her boyfriend's, and have hands-on experience managing their daily needs. At home, I ensure a safe environment with our fenced-in yard and always prioritize the pets' well-being. For my clients' pets, I’m adaptable to their specific routines, whether that involves feeding, walks, playtime, or creating a comfortable space. Every pet in my care receives love and attention tailored to their unique needs.

About: I’ve worked at shelters, owned various animals but mostly cats and dogs. I promise your fur friend is in good paws when it comes to me. I have an extremely flexible schedule and open availability. I can work around you and your fur friends schedule just let me know your needs. Clients home, I have various dogs cats at my house and I think I’d be better suited caring for a pet in their home environment.

About: Ive always had a pet my whole life every single one of them has been my best friends! I currently have to animals of my own and they are my babies! I love staying active and being on the move so your furr babies wont get bored! I usually get off work around 12-2 it varies every day! I start work at 7:30 am. I have my whole day so filling in the time with my favorite thing sounds amazing! I have a fenced in yard, I have 2 kitties but they will be put away if another pet is in my home just to keep the stress down for all animals! In your home I will respect every rule you have and make sure your fur baby has company!

“Crystal has been our pet sitter for more than a year. She cares for our slightly difficult cat and our freshwater and saltwater fish. She gives our cat lots of kind attention. She observes our cat's health and can medicate her as needed. Crystal gives clear updates with each visit. She arrives for each visit as scheduled and responds quickly to each message. Our pets, our home, and even our plants are in perfect order when we return home. Crystal is an excellent pet sitter!”

“Melissa watched our two year cat, Sasha for a long weekend while we were away. She was so kind and sweet to her, and was always on time and made sure she was fed and taken care of while we were away. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Jae☺️, a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker. With a deep appreciation for all breeds, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience for your furry friends. I prioritize their well-being and happiness during our walks, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they need. Having worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park or an energetic romp, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s preferences. I’m also committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos during our adventures together. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members and give them the care and attention they deserve! Let’s make every walk a tail-wagging good time! I’m currently in college so this schedule goes great with my classes. Sometimes my classes get canceled and I can dog sit early or take walks early. I have a dog playground in my neighborhood. I also have plenty of space inside to play and run around. I promise to make this a great experience.

About: Having had the joy of loving, training, and caring for two wonderful dogs, and losing them both to old age, I deeply miss having a dog in my life. While I’m not financially able to provide for another dog at this time, I would love the opportunity to care for others' pets. Caring for dogs would not only help me earn additional income but also fill my life with the companionship and joy they bring, even if it's just temporary—whether for a day, a week, or longer. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing, walking, grooming, or simply loving them. With a strong moral code and work ethic, you can rest assured that your beloved pet will be well cared for, and I’ll ensure they have as much fun as if they were on vacation! I work from home, so I am available 24/7 to tend to the need of your pet! I have weekend obligations that will take me out of the house, but never longer that a few hours at a time. Your dog will be treated like family while in my care. My entire downstairs is open to them. I am hoping your pet will want to hang out with me:) I have a large yard , with a portion of it fenced off to create safety for your pet when off leash. If your dog fancies a walk, I live close to a park that is ideal for a casual stroll, or an invigorating walk for for exercise. I am more than willing to send pictures and or short videos of your pet if you wish, so you can feel connected while you are away.

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

About: I’ve had a handicapped dog my entire life growing up! I currently have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd mix and a 9 month old puppy who both mean the world to me! I love all dogs and have plenty experience with all breeds! I will provide safe and quality care to your fur babies as if they were my own! I am currently in Nursing School and graduate in December, I have a very versatile schedule as I have class only a few days a week and am able to be there to help after or before class! I have a large gated deck and yard with neighbors whose dogs are very friendly as well! I have a crate if needed and various space to play with the dogs as well!

About: Growing up, we always had a family pet that my sister and I cared for. I also have dog-sat my sister's Aussie and Collie now that she has her own pets. Currently, I have a 7-year-old cat named Marvin and a 1-year-old cat named Teddy. I have experience with overnight stays for both dogs and cats for owners who had to go out of town. I previously had a 6-year-old Husky who was Epileptic. So I also have experience with administering medication as well as pet emergencies. I have recently moved back to the area after graduating from college. I typically work evenings, so most days I am free to visit your pets. I do offer petsitting at the clients home and have the ability to be available whenever I am needed. I will be able to stay at your home for as long or as little as you would like.
