Dog Sitting Cheswick

“Heather is a five-star pet sitter! I was a little nervous when I was looking for my first pet sitter on Rover, but Heather was kind enough to take my booking request the last minute and took great care of my pets. She sent me lots of images and videos and took good care of the animals. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi! I’m Emily 🐾 Your pet’s new favorite sitter! I’m a full-time Veterinary Technician and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. My veterinary background has taught me how to care for animals with different personalities, routines, and medical needs while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or needs a little extra medical care, I’m here to give them the patience, attention, and love they deserve. I’m comfortable with medications and special instructions, and I always take the time to let each pet feel comfortable with me at their own pace. I also have had pets of my own, so I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away! 🐶🐱🐾 I am currently working full time at an animal hospital as a vet tech. My shift’s at work are different every day. The best way to know if I’m available is to contact me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a Veterinary Technician, I’m experienced in caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and medical needs. I use Fear Free handling and take the time to make each pet feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routines, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection at their comfort level. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“We are so thankful to have found Kasey and Alyssa! They are amazing. Very warm and friendly and know what they are doing. Our dogs took to them immediately. We feel so relieved to have found a good fit for what we were looking for in help with drop-in visits (people who know and understand older dogs, who have great communication and are kind). We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾”

About: I’ve had hands on experience with animals my whole life, I have experienced feeding, walking, grooming, exercise. Monitoring their health in a safe loving environment. Dog walking fits well into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I arrive on time and can give each dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. If I have any scheduling conflicts, I communicate with owners in advance. I understand that trust is essential when caring for someone’s pet and home. I treat every home with respect and follow care instructions exactly as provided. I make safety my top priority by keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, avoiding unsafe situations during dog walks and ensuring they always have fresh food, water and a clean environment.

“Taylor took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. She was dependable, caring, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups. We highly recommend Taylor and would gladly book with her again!”

About: I am a student who is looking for a fun interactive job and way to make money. I have a dog at home and have always been surrounded by animals and have previous animal care experience. I am a Graduate of Kent State and with such a flexible schedule I am needing some work while at home. I love all breeds and types of dogs. Big, Small, old, young and all. I also will do cats. I really just enjoy the presence of animals and will go the extra mile for them ( haha literally I will walk them for miles...) I would love to watch your pets and walk them and do whatever necessary. I can even help train. Having had roommates with dogs and cats, I was always in company of animals and offering to watch or take them out. I have always had a dog at home growing up and involved in the care take that comes with a family pet. Potty break are on the backyard leash or multiple walks. A safe clean house can ensure the best stay for your pet :) Thank You!

About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life from an early age. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, patient l approach to training and have successfully worked on manners and basic cues with every pet I’ve owned. I recently finished my master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University and now work in the entertainment industry, which gives me a flexible, creative schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and communication. I share my life with a 3‑year‑old beagle named Patti LuPup, and we love spending time in nature together exploring trails and parks. Because I’m so used to reading different animal personalities, I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or quirky pets and always focus on making them feel safe, engaged, and loved. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, active playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family. I am currently in between work after finishing my masters program, so my availability is flexible as I am working freelance at the moment. I am very happy to coordinate to best service you! I have a calm beagle of my own, and we have a large fenced in yard. Many parks are close by with trails and dog parks.

“Theresa had great communication and took fantastic care of my four cats while I was out of town. Everything was in perfect order when I returned. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I was raised around animals, including horses and a beagle kennel. Then, I had a sweet chihuahua for 13 years that I raised and trained from a puppy. I really do love all animals, and timid cats usually take a liking to me. I’m currently working part time, so pet care fits in to my daily schedule very well. I’m flexible with availability and commute, and read care instructions carefully. I have a two story house with a unfenced backyard that I can watch small to medium sized pets. When going to client’s home, I follow care instructions very closely and provide lots of love and attention for the fur babies.

About: I’m a dog whisperer. They understand us more than we think, they are created to be in subjection to us. Hh hh hh hh hh The flexibility works well with my lifestyle. I am a busy mom but so excited to do fun flexible work. Hh hh hh hh hh I try to respect the animal and its routine. I know that makes life easier for mom and dad, but also it’s less stress. Hh

About: I've had cats for over 20 years, all of my adult life. I'm an expert at giving medications. I've also owned small and medium sized dogs. I subscribe to positive reinforcement training. I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed. I live in the heart of Dormont. Have experience with cats and small/medium dogs. I drive so no issues with transportation. My availability is open! I prefer to watch your pet(s) in your home. If you leave me a schedule, including food, treats, play, and walk times, I will stick to that precisely. I feel that pets not only need a routine, but they do much better in their own environment. If there's an emergency, I will be able to bring them to my home. Obviously communication will be key, and this is only for extenuating circumstances (if I feel they are unsafe due to unforeseen situations). My goal is to continue their established routine, so when you come home, there will be a smooth transition.

“Sydney took great care of our three cats while we were away for two weeks. I was really nervous leaving them behind but they were well taken care of and got comfortable with Sydney pretty quickly. Sydney sent lots of pictures and did a great job keeping us updated. I think the kitty gang would love to have her back anytime!”

About: I absolutely adore pets. I have owned a cat and a dog, and have pet-sat for numerous animals. I can't think of a better job than getting paid to do something I would do for free. My promise to you is that I will treat your pet with the utmost care, as if it were my own. I am a recent college graduate with some time before I start my full-time job. I am flexible with scheduling, and I'm happy to work with you to best support you and your pet's needs. I heavily prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets I watch. I am vigilant to ensure that pets receive all the exercise, medication, and other care they require while also giving them the attention and love they deserve. I truly enjoy and am passionate about providing the best experiences for the pets I watch!

“Maddie was the best at taking care of my cats! They love attention, and Maddie made sure to spend time with them, in addition to giving food and water of course. Maddie also made sure to reach out with a few questions as they came up, which I really appreciated since it showed a genuine desire to give my pets amazing care. I definitely plan on rebooking with Maddie!”

About: I have been taking care of neighbors, friends, & family pets since I was in middle school. I own two very unique cats, Daemon & Love that i adore & keep me busy sometimes. I love taking dogs or cats on walks. I used to love having my dog go on a run with me, but she has long since passed away. She wasn't the best at some dog commands from training, but she did enjoy getting a treat when she did listen. My work schedule is flexible during the week due to my level. I typically can come anytime in the early morning to about 10am & then evenings after 6pm. If someone is very close by, I can stop over during a lunch break as well around 2pm. I live in a two story condo, so my cats typically have run of my house. I adapt to anyone's preferences & home environment to care for their family fur baby to make sure they are comfortable while someone ia away.

About: Since I was a child, people would bring strays or unbalanced animals to our house who would suddenly be calm and comfortable in my care. I spent a lot of time in nature and wild animals would often follow me home. I now have my Masters of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis and wrote an original thesis on clicker training for service dogs. I am on the Board and a trainer for Hero Puppies for Life where we train service dogs for heroes with PTSD. We use positive reinforcement and are focused around relational bond training. This sets the dogs up for success to support their humans. We also teach their humans how to understand their dog's instincts and communication. I am quite passionate about it. :) Leo is my 7 year old black lab and personal service dog so your fur family will have free socialization and canine therapy in addition to my human care. He has worked with me extensively as a focal point in my approach to providing applied behavior analysis therapy to children and dogs. I trust our working relationship more than anyone on two legs. ;) Please feel free to ask me any questions about this dynamic! I am currently a full time student in an online, fully remote, tech program so I am very flexible when it comes to location, time of day, and duration for care. From the time I was in college, I always loved pet and house sitting. Opportunities for a change of scenery, in a fresh space, and caring for fur friends is always a treat. The care completely depends on the needs of the animals and home. I have administered meds, cared for young and old pets, implemented training, embraced snuggles, and fulfilled food orders that make meals look like a sundae.

About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach—treating every pet like my own, with dedicated attention, consistent communication, and a deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs and personality. I work from home all week and have a pretty short working schedule. I have lots of time at home to make sure each pet has the best care they need while the owner is out. Been doing it for so long and it's the best job ever! I have a fenced yard with lots of space, i live in a home in a mixed suburban neighborhood and there's lots of walking space around the block, dog park 5 min away and great space at home (no kids, just my wife)

About: Hi! My name is Katie and I am a recent Pitt alum with a passion for pets! I’ve been taking care of dogs of my own for about 15 years now and love every minute! I’ve also pet sat for family and friends on and off for the past 4 years. To me, pets are apart of our families and deserve the best care possible. I’m here to help care for all of your furry friends like they’re my own: with passion, kindness, and a little fun too :) I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, administering medication, and overall dog care! I currently work a full-time, Monday-Friday job. I am available during the week after 6pm for drop by visits and walks. I usually have open availability on the weekends, but please check my availability for updated times and dates! I have three dogs at home, two senior dogs and a younger pup. They all get along with other dogs well, but their will be some initial barking and sniffing when introduced to knew furry friends. I am about 10 minutes away from South Park, which also has a dog park.

About: My love and passion for animals of all shapes and size has been visible from a young age. I will be attending Vet Tech Institute this summer, so I promise that your fur-baby will be my #1 priority! I will treat not only you, but your furry friend with the upmost compassion and respect! I promise not to disappoint! 🐾 Even in attendance at Vet Tech Institute, I will never have enough animal time! This will allow me to focus on my school work, but also give some love to your pets! My fur-babies are what you call... SPOILED! They will be given the absolute best treatment followed by plenty of love and treats! I respect the boundaries of any client, whether it be your pet's or your own! I promise to do my best to make you feel worry free while your furry friend is in my care! I am currently in between jobs, so I have all of the time in the world to love and care for your pups! I accept same day appointments! 🐾 Unfortunately, I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets. When I am in your home, I will treat your property, but most importantly, your dog with the absolute most respect. I will tend and cater to your pup's needs as directed and needed. I will treat your furry-friend as if they were my own and continuously spoil them during our time together!
