House Sitting Center Valley

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.

“Jacen did a fantastic job!!! We booked for 6 separate nights for stay overs at our house and everything went smoothly. Jacen is flexible and even watered our plants and took down some trash while we were gone. The cats were well taken care of and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend Jacen!”

“Natalie was honestly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had on Rover, hands down. She came to meet my fur babes twice before the stay, which immediately put me at ease. She’s just really thoughtful and has such a calm, natural way with animals, you can tell right away she knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares. While I was away, she kept me updated and everything felt easy and stress free the whole time. At one point I even had a perishable package delivered and she took care of it without me even asking, which just says a lot about how attentive she is. But honestly, the biggest thing is how much my pets liked her. That’s always the real test, and they were totally comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her stay with them again in a heartbeat.”

“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”

“Tina was outstanding! She gave me daily updates on how my boy Chef was and was overall very thorough with making sure he was well taken care of. I will be reaching out to her again next time I need someone to watch Chef.”

About: I currently work a hybrid schedule with Carnegie Mellon and I love having a canine companion to explore the outdoors with! I was raised with a variety of large dog breeds in the home and worked at Beaver County Humane Society throughout college. For drop-in visits in your home, please provide me with specific care instructions and how your animal(s) prefers to be interacted with (lots of love or do they keep to themself, specific feeding requirements, etc.) For stays in my home: I have a large home and yard with plenty of room for play and naps. Smoke-free living space where cuddling on the furniture is encouraged! Potty breaks are usually as often as needed since I'll be home throughout the day on most days (I will provide my schedule during your pet's stay with me). I use a tie in the yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor running since my yard is unfenced, though leashed walked can also be used if your dog prefers that. I have never used a crate for any of my animals, please let me know if your pet is more comfortable with one. I've also owned/cared for horses, birds, snakes, chinchillas, iguanas, goats, pigs, and a variety of other mammals. Frequent updates and pictures will be given to you throughout your companion's stay with me. Currently unable to take any large breed dogs for boarding. My lab/collie mix does well with smaller breeds. My cats interact well with dogs since they have been raised with one. My dog is on Frontline, and I require an active flea and tick prevention method be used for your pet as well. I work a hybrid schedule (remote about 3 days/week), so potty breaks and walks can occur at nearly any time throughout the day, depending on your pet's needs. If your dog needs a crate for comfort and "their space," please bring their own for use. I have an unfenced yard so leashed breaks and outdoor ties will be used.

About: My mom runs a rescue, so I have taken care of countless animals while fostering them. I also have 7 cats and 5 dogs which brings a lot of experience. I am a college student athlete, so I am currently free most days of the week and weekends. Aside from doing my workouts, I love to get any extra exercise I can!! During the school year I will only be free during the weekends. I have large yard and path cut through my field for exercise. My dogs and cats are friendly to any other animal, but I am able to crate the pet if needed.

About: I have grown up with many dogs, little and big. From taking them walks, cleaning the poop, and even just snuggles. I have a dog now who is just 4 yrs old. I love training her to do new tricks as she grows. (She can give hugs!) I worked at a Doggy/Cat boarding/Day care and loved spending time with them to build trust. I love helping the dogs and cats meet their needs and care as if they are my own until their own family will again. I am able to work through anytime on the week days. Start at 7am-9pm on the weekends. I can adapt to times and planning, even on short notice (shortest as a day before). I am able to work through handing dogs at your house as you want/need. Even cleaning through cages, vacuum, pick up poop, straight up toys. At the same time, your pet will be loved, fed/hydrated, play through the day, and all needs and/or wants.

“Vance did a fabulous job with our pups while we were out of the country. He sent us regular updates with photos and our girls always looked super relaxed and happy. The house was immaculate when we came home, and it was really reassuring to know our trash would be taken out, our water would be left running to prevent pipes from freezing, and our plants would be watered. He did a great job with everything, and we'd absolutely book him again.”

“EXCELLENT dog and house sitter! He watched my dogs for 3 nights and 4 days. Bryce took excellent care of my house and dogs. He was very communicative and gave excellent, precise information. He walked both dogs, gave medication and went above and beyond. Awesome sitter”

About: Hello! My name is Amanda and I am 32 years old. I have always had a strong love and passion for animals of all species starting at a young age. I have worked in several animal shelters and have worked as a veterinary technician, as well as being a certified dog groomer. Animals will always and forever be my passion. In the past I have owned fish, dogs, cats, and a variety of reptiles and pocket pets. As of now I have 2 cats and 1 dog! Your fur babies are my top priority while you are away, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they are spoiled and in the best hands! Please consider me as the pet sitter for you; I promise you will not regret it! My schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to leave for a couple hours a day is a must for me since I have other obligations. I keep my schedule on here up to date as much as I can. I take care of pets in their own homes with the utmost respect. I want them to be comfortable with me so I will try to keep their routines going to help out with making them feel at ease.

“Emily was wonderful. She provided me with updates throughout her stay on Daphne and answered all of my questions. She is very sweet, and Daphne enjoyed her time with her. I would absolutely book with her again.”

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.

About: I believe our pets deserve the best care especially in times where pet moms/dads have to provide and take care of themselves, that’s where I come in to help focus on your pet and give them the same energy you would, so you can think about you! Patience, perfectionism, calmness, consideration, these are all things I take pride in. I am a very loving, gentle care taker (who loves to burn some energy off too through play!) I will focus on making sure your pets every need is met while going above and beyond to ensure they feel emotionally happy, safe, and respected by me. I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day, any time! I have reliable transportation and am available last minute if you need me I always start with a clean & sanitary space by ensuring food bowls, water bowls, beds blankets etc are all sanitary. Enrichment activities, brain stimulation, exercise, massages, cooking homemade dog/cat food, outfits/shoes for heat/cold protection, etc.

“I had Albert for the 1st time over this weekend. He was very friendly, reliable and great with my Labrador Sunshine. She is 2 1/2, high energy and 73 lbs. Albert handled her very well and took very good care of her. I already have him booked again this summer!”

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!

“Hilary was fantastic!!She took such great care of our dogs,1 male Labrador almost 2 years old and 1 female lab 9 months old. So you can see she had some energetic young dogs! Hilary spent time with them inside & out. She kept in contact with us, sent pictures. The house was clean, the dogs shampooed, I think the dogs were sorry to see her go! We would definitely get Hilary again!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.

“Excelente house sitter and great with dogs. He is home often and makes sure they get plenty of exercise. And on top of that he takes great care of the house too!”
