About: My childhood dog, Daisy, a Yorkie mix that I had for 17 years, was my best friend. As a child, I trained her, and as an adult, I had to make adjustments to her environment when her mobility, sight, and hearing became limited. That relationship instilled in me a lifelong love of dogs. I work full-time in development with a local nonprofit, but I have a flexible schedule that includes 2 remote days a week and free weekend availability. ***Please see my availability below before sending a booking request! Not seeing a date on my calendar or location range that works for you? Feel free to reach out, as I can update my calendar and travel distance if needed! Availability: Sunday - All day Monday - All day Tuesday - 6pm-10pm Wednesday 6pm-10pm Thursday - All day Friday 6pm-10pm Saturday - All day As a lifelong Pittsburgh resident and a Mt. Lebanon local for 7 years, I have extensive knowledge of dog-friendly areas and walking trails to support active dogs. As for senior dogs, I can also cater to their needs with less strenuous activities and one-on-one socialization at their own pace and comfort level. I also have personal pet sitter’s insurance, so you can book my services knowing that your pet will be in good hands.

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!

“It was Dinki's first outing with Shanyasia and he was a happy pup! Thank you.”

“Kristin is a gem of a find. From the moment she walked into my house to have the meet and greet with my pup, she proved she is a pure dog lover. My pitbull mix loved her instantly and I know he’s in good, caring hands. I’d recommend Kristin 10 times out of 10 ✋🏻🤚🏻👉🏻”

Lauren B.

“Krista is an absolute gem! Buddy took to her right away which is always a good sign as he doesn't always respond well to new people. Krista is a warm, caring & loving person which shows with how she treats another's dog. Always on time, gives Buddy plenty of exercise & I'm grateful to have her!”

Nancy T.

“I give this person five stars all the way! She was great and was able to handle my girl while I’m laid up with a knee injury. Thank you! She came on time and was awesome!”

Tessa U.

“Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!”

Anthony K.

“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”

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.

“Kind and caring.”

Beth G.

“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. My family has cared for many breeds of dogs including a Rottweiler, Great Dane, German Shepherd, Yorkie, and Chihuahua. I am the first person my friends and family come to when their pets need care. I have several years of experience walking, feeding, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I am currently a college student and will have lots of time to spend time with your pet. I am available in the afternoon/night and all day on the weekends. While caring for your pet, my time and attention will be completely devoted to their individual needs. While providing services at your home, my focus and priority will be on your pet as if they were my own.

About: Happy dogs are well exercised dogs. I've been an experienced dog hiker, walker and sitter since 2001, and I would love to tire out your fur babies outdoors in any weather. I love to hike, go to the dog park or walk the neighborhood and get them moving so you know they are getting the love, attention and physical activity they crave when you are away. Hiking walks are a premium service and are $50/hour I also specialize in senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I have owned and cared for dogs that were blind, deaf, and had complex medical problems and diabetes management. I understand the level of care dogs with special needs have and the anxiety that goes along with finding someone who care provide that extra care, attention and knowledge. I am lucky enough to have a very flexible remote job where I set my own hours so I can be available for you when you need me. I know all Pittsburgh parks and trails like the back of my hand. I have been hiking dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes for over 20 years. Getting you pet the physical activity they crave supports them in so many ways: Physical health: Hiking can improve a dog's cardiovascular health, build muscle mass, and increase stamina. Hiking on different terrains, like hills or rocky paths, can also improve balance and coordination. Mental health: Hiking can provide mental stimulation for dogs. The new sights, sounds, and smells on the trail can help prevent destructive behaviors. Social benefits: Hiking can help with weight management, healthy joints, and socialization. Bonding: Hiking can provide an opportunity for your dog to bond with people and nature. I always follow practice the National Parks B.A.R.K. rule wherever I hike with your dog. B.A.R.K. stands for: Bag your pet’s waste Always leash your pet Respect wildlife Know where you can go Whether we walked one lap around the park or 5 miles in the woods, our post-hike recovery includes some important steps. Your pooch has plenty of fresh water to rehydrate, I'll check their skin and fur for any parasites like fleas or ticks, Wipe their paws and remove any seeds or burrs and love on them as they rest up!

“This is my second time asking Jessika to take care of my timid Dachshund, Harley. Jessika is patient, gentle and kind to my quirky pup. I leave Harley with Jessika without worry, knowing she is in the hands of a reliable, responsible and caring friend.”

About: Dogs deserve to be dogs. My 3yo Dalmatian is off-leash trained, and requires immense patience. The Dalmatian breed is high-energy and requires a specific type of care. My top priority is a happy dog. Loving them through biological fulfillment and play. I work full-time during the week, but I am available for walking on Saturday/Sunday. My schedule will open up during the fall. I am also open to walking during the week on a case by case basis. My goal is to build a relationship with you and your dogs with a regular walking schedule. I prefer to have an initial meeting with the dog to assess their behavior and trust with me. My priority is physical and psychological safety of your animal in my care.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since high school and have 8+ years of experience. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s dogs, including disabled dogs that required extra attention and patience. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, and understand how to adjust care based on their needs. I work virtually, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m a huge animal lover and vegan, so I take caring for animals very seriously and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work virtually and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, and stick closely to their normal routine. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to make sure they feel secure and stress-free. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and even disabled dogs that require extra care and patience. I keep a clean, calm environment and provide close supervision at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.
