Dog Sitting Crafton

About: I've had dogs and cats in my life for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and affection throughout the day. I have a sweet miniature schnauzer named Brad who is a big part of my daily routine. I only accept one client's pets at a time, so your dog won't be competing with a house full of unfamiliar animals for attention. I want their stay to feel relaxed, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. My home has a partially fenced yard, and I'm happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines. I'll also send pictures and updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away. Whether you're traveling for a weekend or heading out on vacation, I'll treat your pet like part of the family. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and company. My miniature schnauzer, Brad, is already part of my daily routine, so caring for another dog fits naturally into our day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet's usual feeding, walking, and rest times. I want your dog to feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I only board one client's pets at a time, so they receive personalized attention in a relaxed home environment. I have a partially fenced yard and always supervise outdoor time. I'm happy to follow your dog's usual routines and any special instructions. I'll also send pictures and updates so you know how they're doing.

About: As an enthusiastic marathon runner and power walker- exercising with hyper dogs is my absolute favorite thing in the world! I am a mom to one dog and two cats, and have walked dogs formally for many years. I’m a social worker by day and care deeply about people, families and pets! I work 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday. I am available on evenings and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. Specific availability depends on distance and travel time. I am an enthusiastic pet parent! I have always had dogs and cats, and I have had the privilege of caring for my neighbor’s pets on and off for the last 15 years. I have experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets, as well as young and hyper pets that need exercise and stimulation. I care for all pets with the same diligence that I care for my own.

“Always pleased to have Kaitlyn care for our kitties. Even with new medicine for our special guy, she rises to the occasion and takes care of them as we would. So thankful to have someone that takes special care of them while we are away.”

“Daniel kicked ass. Super communicative about everything and quick to respond. We got great photos of our three cats while we were away and he even brought packages in and cleaned up a hairball, he really went above and beyond and was super easy to get along with, we would absolutely enlist him in the future!”

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!

“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”

“Deana is wonderful. Great communicator, appreciates an overabundance of instructions from crazy-cat-people, and takes great photos! We will definitely be asking her to watch Mustard again soon!”

About: I cared for my family dog for years, and other dogs in my home neighborhood until I moved out. I get so much joy from being around animals. I have never come across a stray cat that didn't want to be my friend. I don't currently live with any pets which is why I am eager to petsit so I can spend time with some wonderful dogs and cats. I have a lot of free time during the week for extended stays or multiple drop-ins in a day. I love animals and I will give your pet all of my attention, and be sure they are loved and cared for. I am a respectful guest and I will always leave your home cleaner than I found it

“Sydnie was so wonderful with our kitties! We could tell from the pics she sent during the check ins that they loved spending time with her. Super communicative and followed all instructions we had for check ins. Thank you for everything, Sydnie! 💕”

About: I have exposer to multiple types of pets. Dogs large and small I have been relied on to take care of family and friends fur babies since I was 13 I currently work a 4x10 shift so I have flexible Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I also do not start until 9 so I can always do a little before work and after 7 pm I will treat your dog as my own when under my care. Whatever needs you have for your pets as you are away I can take care of!

About: I’ve grown up and cared for dogs of all kind from Shih Tzu’s to Great Danes- I’m not scared of a little leash tugging. I work from home in HR and have a flexible schedule, so if you’re running late or miss a flight- I’m typically home and ready to help! I personally have a rescue Pit Bull who is reactive to other animals, so I understand the challenges with some pets. FYI- he will never be with me when I care for your fur baby. I work fully remote from my house and build my own schedule for the most part. I typically can move some calls around, and can help out on the fly. I can walk your pet around the neighborhood, take them to the park, or even just a car ride! I’m happy to play with your dog in your yard or in your house. If companionship is all you need, I’m here for all the cuddles and chit chats with your pet. Forgot to turn on the radio? Need lunch? I’m here to help!

“Laurie signed up last minute to check in on our dogs. She was able to come in and care for them without having met them beforehand. She sent photos of their lovely walk and when we came home the dogs were happy and healthy. Thank you Laurie!”

“Rachel was a great help when I had to spontaneously leave town for a family thing. She was quick to respond and understanding of the fact that we couldn't meet in person! She took good care of my kitties while I was away. I definitely recommend you work with her if you ever need pet-caring help!”

About: I don’t just watch dogs, I genuinely love spending time with them. I’m the kind of person who gets excited to meet every dog I pass on a walk! My goal is to make your dog feel loved, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. You can expect lots of belly rubs, playtime, patience, and plenty of photo updates. I work Monday through Friday from 8–5, so my primary availability for pet care is during weeknights and weekends. I’m very intentional about dedicating that time to the pets in my care and adjusting my routine to accommodate their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Since being without my Golden, I’ve honestly felt a little emptiness in my day, which has made me realize even more how integral caring for dogs is to my life. Because of that, pet care is something I genuinely prioritize, and I want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, loved, and like their routine is being respected. I understand that every dog is different, just like people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, boundaries, and communication style so I can adjust the way I interact with them based on what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely while paying attention to the dog’s individual responses and needs. My goal is never to force a dog to adapt to me, but to understand how I can best fit into their routine and earn their trust so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have a dog of my own who I care for and have trained, along with the dogs I’ve grown up with. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will treat your pup like my own and provide them with the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I’m a registered nurse and typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability on my days off. While my schedule can vary slightly from week to week, I try to keep consistent shifts whenever possible. I typically have availability both during the week and on weekends. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to your pets, so I’m happy to work with you to coordinate a schedule that best fits you and your pet’s needs! I have a friendly dog of my own and live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of outdoor space for walks, exercise, and playtime, including an on-site dog park. Although I don’t have a fenced-in yard, there are plenty of areas for your pup to get outside, burn off energy, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a crate available if needed, and my own dog is crate-trained and comfortable being crated. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes! My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, whether that means maintaining their usual feeding schedule, providing plenty of walks and playtime, administering extra attention, or giving them a little extra time to adjust to a new environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Your pet will always be treated like family!

“Sydney is an amazing petsitter!! Accomdated a very last minute request, was super easy to coordinate with, and sent us pictures every day. Would highly recommend Sydney to anyone! ☺️”

About: I'm a dog mom myself & I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care requires total peace of mind, which is why I prioritize strict attention to routine, safety, and proactive communication. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.

About: I will love and take care of your pet as if it was my own. I love all types of animals and am willing to do all I can to make them feel loved when their owner is not around. I am very reliable and will be there whenever your pet needs me. I have had my own pets over the years and have also watched and cared for my friends and family members pets also. I am usually the go to person when it comes to pet sitting with all of my friends. There is not an animal that I wont love and tend to. I really hope to meet your pet and take care of them while you are out enjoying your time! If anymore more questions just ask! I currently work full time so I will do everything I can to make sure you dog gets all the love and attention. If close enough I can stop home at lunches and will make sure once I get them after work, they are fully taken care of. I will follow every instruction you leave for me, and will make sure the animals are always being watched or are in a safe enviorment.

“Toni is great! Very communicative, friendly, and knowledgeable. Toni sends lots of photos and provides a thorough run down of each visit. Thanks, Toni!”
