About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.

About: I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs 60+ lbs, as well as small dogs. Can handle larger dogs that pull and are reactive on walks. I currently have two big dogs of my own so my day to day always involves dog care. I have a reactive dog so I am familiar with that behavior. Making sure the dog is comfortable is always my goal. Especially since I am an unfamiliar person, I want to make sure our interactions don’t stress the dogs out and they don’t feel threatened by me in their space.

“Jiawen sent me plenty of pictures of my dog while I was away! I am confident he was in good hands. I certainly will be again in the future.”

“Yasmeen is just the sweetest and truly cares about animals. She was so patient with my skiddish pup and did her best to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable with her. I'd highly recommend!”

“Breanna has been an easy transition! I was nervous because our retired dog walker was so good but Breanna is awesome! Great communication and the best pictures!”

About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12. From pet sitting for families with cats and/or dogs, walking dogs for many summers, attending to animals when I babysat, and taking care of my own dog, Kurt, I have done it all! I take pride in taking care of animals, and love to spend time with them. Whether that is playing with them, walking them, or just caring for their basic needs. I currently also work a part time job, which gives me free time to take care of your pets most every weekend, and during the day Mondays between 12-5 and after 6, Thursdays after 4, and Fridays between 12-6 I will follow whatever schedule/routine you typically do for your pet in your home! I can feed them, fill their water, take them out, play with them, or even just keep them company for a bit!!

About: I’ve had cats now for about 5 years! 4 of my own (ages 4, 4, 4, and 8), and they are absolutely the loves of my life!! I do also have experience with administering oral and eye medications for cats! My experience with dogs isn’t quite as extensive but just as thorough!! I have experience with walking and feeding!! I currently work full-time as a registered nurse, doing rotating (days and nights) 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, so I typically have quite a bit of availability and a pretty flexible schedule!! I am currently available for drop-in visits to ensure your pet has all the care they need! I will also provide pictures and updates :) My cats get fed twice a day and have plenty of toys and scratch posts! I also have an abundance of treats for them to snack on!!

About: I’m one of those people who will remember your dog’s name long before I remember yours (apologies in advance). I’ve had dogs for much of my life, including my Golden Retriever and a Lab (who passed over the Rainbow Bridge due to old age). Still grieving those losses, we foster dogs through Bark About It Rescue, which include long-term fosters who lived with my family for months at a time. All that being said, I’m very familiar with the walks, the zoomies, the stubborn streaks, the mysterious things that absolutely MUST be sniffed, that treats and scritchy-scratches are life, and the fact that every dog comes with their own personality and quirks. I’m an equal-opportunity dog lover — from little cuties with attitude to big, goofy pitties and everything in between. I’m comfortable with energetic walkers, rescue pups, and dogs who are shy, cautious, or need a little extra time to warm up. I don’t expect your dog to immediately love me. I’m happy to earn it. I also take the responsibility seriously. You’re trusting me with a member of your family — and, in many cases, your home. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your dog’s routine, keep you updated, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention while they’re with me. And yes, there will be photos. Lots of photos. I work full-time in nonprofit comms so photos are just what I do. Whether we’re getting some serious miles in or your dog’s idea of a “walk” is spending 20 minutes investigating three mailboxes, I’m happy to follow their lead. You handle the schedule. I’ll handle the walks, belly rubs, poop bags, and photographic evidence that your dog had *the best* dog day. I work from home two days a week and am home on weekends, making Thursday through Sunday (with some additional flexibility) my best days to connect with your pup during the morning, afternoon, or evening hours. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their surroundings and body language, and respect your home and routine. And please tell me all their quirks and favorites!

“Noah is awesome. He's reliable, and has no problem walking Lilly, who's very distracted by squirrels and other people on walks. Highly recommend.”

About: I've loved and cared for cats since I was 11, and my experience includes caring for cats with chronic and terminal illnesses. I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and medical needs. I've also fostered and boarded cats and dogs of all ages, giving me experience helping animals feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I'm comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications, and I understand the importance of following care instructions closely. Whether your pet is a playful kitten, a senior companion, or an animal who needs extra medical attention, I'll approach their care with compassion, respect, and the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is my full time occupation. I have nothing but time and love for your furry friends, and I will happily treat them as my own. I tailor my care to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize a safe, calm environment, consistent routines, plenty of affection, and attentive supervision. I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and household routines, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, dog walks, and companionship for pets of different ages and activity levels. If it's a 2 mile walk through Schenley Park, a short jaunt around a familiar fire hydrant, or a quick trip from bed to the couch — I'm here for it all! I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with chronic or terminal illnesses, as well as administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications when prescribed. Having fostered cats and dogs of various ages, I'm comfortable helping animals settle into unfamiliar environments at their own pace. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide thoughtful, reliable care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease while they're apart.

About: I have had my own dog and cat for 12 years and have been the primary caregiver for both. I am very friendly and don’t have any male animals. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule other than a handful of classes each week. I am willing to wake up early or stay up late to meet your pets needs. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I graduated high school with an honors diploma and am currently enrolled in college with a 3.75 GPA. I take the time to learn and memorize your pets routines and needs. I believe every pet deserves to be loved and properly cared for and I am ready to love and care for your pets!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs & cats since could remember, around 10 years plus. I have pets of my own and they are my world. One dog named Luna and a black cat named bean! I own my own cleaning business and make my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility\! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies and work around their routines and needs\. 🐾 I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and locations whenever possible! I live in a safe & quiet neighborhood, in a apartment in Edgewood area. I love all animals and would treat yours like my own.

“I couldn't be happier with the care and attention Chelsea has shown my dogs. She has been on time and great at corresponding about any concerns or questions she may have. Really appreciate all the great pictures. Definitely happy to have Chelsea looking after my dogs while I'm at work.”

I’m especially reliable, communicative, and patient, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets.

I’m happy to do a meet and greet prior to developing our walking relationship. I’m comfortable providing medication and happy to follow any directions for pet care that are necessary.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. When I got my own cat I made sure to learn the basics of care so he could be a happy and healthy boy. I am patient, attentive, and really enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I have a cat of my own. I feed, play with, and care for Kris everyday. I genuinely enjoy making sure my cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. He is literally my best friend and I look forward to taking care of him as much as he takes care of me. I make sure to follow each pets routine, I want to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. In my apartment I keep things clean and safley put away. I check for fresh clean water often and make sure to feed each pet at the required time.
