Doggy Day Care in Dravosburg

“Thank you for the great care you gave Sydney on his full day of daycare. He was so exhausted 🥱 and fell asleep and slept all night.”

About: Hi, I’m Valerie — lifelong animal lover, proud pet mom, and your go-to sitter for stress-free, tail-wagging care! I’ve been caring for dogs of every size, breed, and personality since I was 10 years old. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and families have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy, an energetic walker, or a gentle senior needing extra attention, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Animals bring me so much joy — and I always go above and beyond to make sure your furry family member receives the same love and attention they get from you. 🐶❤️ I also have extensive experience caring for pets with special needs. I’ve helped dogs recover comfortably post-surgery, maintained routines for a 14-year-old diabetic cat, and provided patient, gentle care for anxious or senior animals. When I worked as a Wag! walker eight years ago, I was quickly requested as a regular walker by repeat clients — a reflection of my dependability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals of all kinds. I currently run my own business, which gives me vast flexibility and availability to devote to your pets’ needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, a last-minute drop-in, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your schedule to ensure your furry friend is comfortable, cared for, and loved. I’m an avid hiker and live right next to Frick Park’s 9-Mile Trail, where I love taking dogs for long walks, fresh air, and a healthy dose of adventure (with your approval, of course!). For pups who prefer a quieter pace, I provide gentle strolls and cozy downtime at home. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly — I can easily crate your pup if needed and always follow care instructions closely. Comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I make sure every pet feels relaxed, happy, and right at home — whether they’re here for a walk, a weekend, or a longer stay. Your pets deserve someone who sees them the way you do — as family. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry companion and give them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Let’s set up a meet and greet — I can’t wait to welcome them into my world of tail wags, fresh air, and happy hearts. 🐾❤️ I run my own business, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week — including weekends and most evenings. Whether you need consistent care, last-minute help, or an extended stay, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule to make sure your pet always feels cared for and loved. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. My home has plenty of space for your dog to relax or stretch their legs before and after walks. I live right next to Frick Park’s 9-Mile Trail, which is perfect for safe, scenic walks and outdoor adventures (always with your approval and comfort level in mind). I follow every care instruction closely — from feeding and medications to exercise routines — and I’m experienced in caring for pets with special needs, including post-surgery care and senior or diabetic animals. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else, ensuring every pet in my care feels secure, happy, and right at home.

“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.”

“Savannah was so great! I just recently rescued Nala and was nervous to leave her with someone so soon, but she ended up coming out more confident and playing with toys! (Something I struggled with training her to do before). Savannah answered all my questions afterwards and was so helpful. She was also very communicative throughout the day. Highly recommend and will book again!”

“Erin took excellent care of Frankie and kept us updated with lots of photos. Frankie came back to us with her tail wagging and excited to visit with Erin again!”

About: I started my career working with dogs at 18 doing dog walking and pet sitting. I did this for a number of years before I directed my attention to working in daycare and boarding facilities. About 9 years ago I moved to Pittsburgh. I began getting myself out there and working in a few local facilities before finding the one I felt fit me best. Here I worked my self into a general manager role. I have over 5 years experience managing dog care facilities, and have extensive experience in animal husbandry, the “Fear Free” approach, as well as general grooming, medicinal, and other needs. After years working in facility and having kids, I have directed my attention to working from home to spend more time with my kids and own dogs. I have four beagles who are very friendly and love to play, and I also have a dog park very close to my home! I am a foster for Nittany Beagle Rescue and have foster three dogs so far! I am currently not working and have a fairly open schedule. I own 4 beagles of my own, who are extremely friendly and love to play with others! Although I do not have a fenced yard, I walk all my dogs on leashes. I also have a dog park located right down the street and a car suitable for pets complete with a seatbelt if needed!

“Joe was extremely accommodating for our 2 day visit to Pittsburgh! He took great care of our (2) pups and we will absolutely use him again when we are in the area.”

“Megan was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We had a meet and greet then scheduled day care. My pup was excited to be with her and her dog, and came home tired and happy. Megan sent me pictures during the day, and let me know how she was doing.”

“Sarah was awesome with our two dogs! She was so easy to talk to, clearly cared about our dogs and was very accommodating. We needed a sitter on short notice and she was great about helping us out. Her dogs are sweet and playful and got along with our dogs so they all had a blast. She has a fenced in backyard that our dogs loved and had plenty of toys for all to play with. I highly recommend Sarah for your sitting needs!”

About: I can be with your dog almost 24/7 because I work from home. We have a fenced in yard. I have trained 2 adult dogs to do multiple tricks, not take food, not run, and be good with children. Along with 10 plus years of things I have forgotten. I have experience with puppies and would prefer not to watch them. (negotiable) I have twins, and I think two human babies are easier than one puppy. I work from home, have a flexible schedule, a fenced in yard, and live in a suburban neighborhood where I can safely walk your dog/s. We have been dog owners for 15 years until our last baby passed in January at the age of 14. We have 10-year-old twins who love dogs and would love to play with yours, so your dog must be friendly with children. They are responsible enough to not bother your dog if it doesn't want to be bothered with though. I will have your pet with me on a pet bed, couch, or floor near me all day while I work from home. I can let them roam around the fenced in back yard as long as they would like. I am able to take them for walks at lunch and any time after 4:30 pm. We have 10 year old twins who love animals and would enjoy giving your fur baby extra attention. They are also responsible enough to not bother your dog if it doesn't want to be bothered with though.

“Another great evening for Simsim. Maria continues to provide a great environment with friendly dogs who love to play with ours. We can’t wait for our next visit.”

“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”

Leslie H.

“Adrienne is awesome and straight up THE BEST! She is super dedicated, very professional, and easy/very reliable regarding communication. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I have zero hesitation leaving my Lily with her.”

Dave L.

“Jodie was amazing! Will absolutely use her again :-) my pup adored her and her dog.”

Stacey M.

“Sara was amazing!! I had a bit of anxiety at first upon leaving popcorn at someone I didn’t knows house all day! However that turned around immediately! Sara sent me updates frequently through out the day and made sure my baby girl was happy and loved and got to play all day!!! Would highly recommend!!!”

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.

“Excellent dog sitter. My “puppy” loved his time with Rae. She also sent updates and pics of him from their walk, and time hanging out. I definitely hope to have my dog board or visit for day sitting again.”

Jeremy K.

“Jeannie was really nice she was responsive when I reached out asking about butters. He seemed to really have enjoyed himself.”

About: I've lived with cats and dogs all my life. Currently working from home. I worked at Petco for five years so I know a lot about pet care. I'd love to take care of your beloved pet while you're away knowing that they're in good hands with a nice family! I will provide updates daily. I currently work from home and I'm here all the time except when I have to go out for groceries so I'm not out for a long time. Your pet will not be left alone for hours. I have two indoor cats who are friendly to other cats and small dogs. I'm willing to do drop in visits too if you feel more comfortable.
