About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals my entire life. I have been a pet sitter for many friends and neighbors over the years and had my own canine companion for 10 years. She passed away in November of 2023. Animals deserve to be loved and treated like family. I promise that your dogs will be treated very well and that they will truly enjoy their “vacation” at my home. It’s difficult to leave your “loved ones” in the care of others and I know that feeling. Rest assured that they will be cared for and spoiled to the best of my ability! I am a behavioral therapist who works with children and families. I have a hybrid job which means that I work from home doing Telehealth services and I also see clients in person at times. I am home for most of the day and this worked perfectly when I cared for my late dog, Arwen. I do not have any pets currently. I have an elevated deck that is only accessible from the house. It is surrounded and my dog loved to spend time out there basking in the sun. I have a yard but it is not fenced in. My neighborhood is quiet and very dog friendly.

“Laura and her son Jesse were the best with my puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day to keep me updated and I could tell that they both gave him lots of love and attention. I felt very much at ease leaving my puppy with them while I worked. 1000 percent recommend!”

“Maria and her entire are fabulous! It is Ellie’s second home. Thank you for your generosity and extraordinary hospitality. We feel so fortunate to have met you this year. Happy holidays!!!”

Jenn D.

“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”

Lea W.

“Kalyn took good care of onion and there were no issues. Some more updates throughout the day would be nice though.”

“Buster had a blast with the dogs in the yard. He was all doggie smiles when we picked him up! On top of that, I booked for the wrong day and Richard was nothing but nice about it, and completely accommodating. We’ll be back when we come through Pittsburgh again.”

About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!

“We had a great experience with Gretchen! We were in town for a wedding and looking for someone to come to our rental house and sit with our dog there. Even though this is not a standard dog-sitting situation, she was willing to accommodate us. Our pup was calm and content when we returned and everything worked out great.”

About: I’m back!! I pet sat when I lived in Orlando and then took a break. I am now in Pittsburgh and ready to welcome some new friends. I work from home full-time, in a single-family home with a fenced in yard. I have made a habit of rescuing animals (especially senior animals) and my pack would love some playmates.Whether it is joining in couch cuddles or afternoon zoomies, your little one will feel like part of the family. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds. Including a few years of kennel experience as well as 30 years of personal experience. I have experience with senior animals as well as special needs animals, including blind, deaf, mobility issues, and incontinent. With those things comes a lot of experience in medication as well. Myself and my crew are excited to meet you and your fur babies. I work from home fulltime and a big home body. The most I leave is if I’m grocery shopping or grabbing dinner in the evening. I have a fully fenced in yard. Any boarding pups will sleep in my second bedroom in an appropriate sized crate/playpen. This is the area they would eat their meals as well.

“Mariah was amazing!! So friendly and accommodating for our last minute booking. We will definitely book again, our puppy came back happy and calm.”

“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”

About: Have had pets my entire life and have very much enjoyed my time hosting dogs of all ages and sizes. A lot of love and walks! I work remotely! So I’ll be here to care for and attend to their needs whenever they have them. I aim to take dogs for walks 2-3x per day and can maintain feeding and medicinal schedules. As a note, your dog will be the only dog here! I block out my calendar once I’ve received bookings so you can feel safe knowing that your dog will receive 1-on-1 attention. So much love. I like to learn about your pet and any information you’re able to provide is welcomed. Bring their food, schedule, and favorite toy. They will be the only dog at my home which will be nice for them to receive 1-on-1 care.

About: I’ve taken care of small animals since I was a kid. I was always the student who volunteered to take the class pet home for extended breaks from school. Some of the animals I cared for included leopard geckos, hamsters, and Guinea pigs! I have loved animals ever since 😊 Besides class pets, I grew up babysitting my Aunt’s dog, Oscar, whenever she went on vacation or needed some extra help. I got my first dog when I was 12 and he’s still living with us today. I am offering all services for small to medium sized dogs. I am relatively free for dog care through Rover as I work a part time job in my spare time. I also used to have a job at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience with dog behavior :) I can assure you that daily walks and cuddles with your pup fit into my schedule <3 We have one small dog named Gizmo who is a 9 year old Shih-tzu mix. He is super friendly as he loves both people and dogs! We do not have a fenced yard but we regularly take trips to the local dog park. Additionally, we have a fenced deck where the dogs can get some fresh air. I know it can be intimidating to leave your pet with a stranger. As such, I try to make everyone feel welcome. I assure you that I am dedicated to your pet’s safety and well-being and promise to care for your pet as if they were my own. They will become a part of the furry family for the duration of their stay ♥️

“Janet is an amazing dog care provider!! She genuinely love my dog like her own, and is very affectionate and attentive to him. She has been very flexible and accommodating when my schedule changes, and always has a positive disposition. She has proven 100% reliable and I am so grateful my dog and I have had the pleasure of getting to know her and her family.”

“We had a great experience leaving our 7 month pup, Willie Nelson, with Christy! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone for the day and Christy made it very easy. She provided many photos/updates throughout the day. Thank you Christy”

About: I have always had family pets and been around all types of animals since I was born. My family grew up on a koala sanctuary in Australia so it has been ingrained in me to take care of animals! I’ve had personal pets of my own since the age of 10 and am always a go-to when family or friends need a sitter or help with any sort of care! I have had multiple senior dogs and raised multiple cats from kittens and dogs from puppies 😊 I’m currently working part-time on the weekends and some later evenings. I would have plenty of time throughout the week to care for your pets! I’m available Monday-Friday until 6pm (I can accommodate otherwise if notice is given- that’s just a set schedule for day of needs) I have a fully fenced yard and access to a large basement area in case of weather. Pets are also welcome upstairs where I have 4 dog-friendly cats- if other animals are an issue I can keep them separate and/ or crate your animals if necessary.

About: I’ve loved dogs and been surrounded for as long as I can remember: taking them on walks, teaching them tricks, and tending to their needs 🐾 So, I’d love to step in and help with yours whenever/whatever needed. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to tend to your dog. I would also be available on the weekends, to pet sit or help with caring for your pup. I work from home! Happy to board pets here if it’s a good fit! I can stop by or stay at your house to take care of your dog(s)!
