About: To put it simply, caring for animals is my life's passion; I would love to take care of your pet like they're my own. I am a highly experienced career pet care professional, currently working at Kitty Co Cat Rescue, with prior experience working at Fido and Friends. I provide the highest level of compassionate care, with a deep understanding of animal behavior and the importance of providing patience and love while caring for animals. I have hands-on experience supporting daily pet care, kennel sanitation, and medication routines. I am trained in administering oral medications, transdermal medications (for cats only), fluids, temperature checks, vaccines, oxygen support, and breathing treatments. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability for pet care. I am available for overnight pet sitting primarily on weekends. I am highly responsible and detail-oriented when it comes to pet and home care. My professional training in veterinary support allows me to provide the highest level of safety for your animal

“Lauren has been a blessing! My dog is older and she takes her time with him out on his walks (he sometimes doesn't walk so well). She is considerate, professional, and I just love her!!”

About: I live on an acre of land with more than half of it being yard With more than half of it being Space. I am able to create a bond with animals by giving them affection, attention, and treats. For walking appointments, my schedule is flexible between 10 AM and 7 PM But I’m also available to to offer overnight boarding care and check-in. I like to keep them active, playing, and happy so they could have the best experience I have to offer. I also like to keep the clients informed,and send them pictures. I like to make sure your pet is in my sight so I could keep them safe.

“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”

“Ashley is awesome! She’s super responsive to texts and flexible. She takes care of Shiloh like her own hound dogs, and he looks forward to her every time. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”

About: I don’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had with a dog was with a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite my lack of experience I am willing to learn. My love for animals in general is why I am open to learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.

“Did such an amazing job with my puppy! She was very helpful and gave some great tips and knowledge about dogs ◡̈ looking forward to being able to have her watch my dog again!”

“Nikki was our best rover booking yet!!! She came over three times this week for lunchtime walks. She was super attentive and even gave us some recommendations on how to keep him entertained. Nikki is very knowledgeable and caring, especially with little puppies. Would highly recommend booking her.”

About: I grew up in rural Louisiana and have been an animal whisperer and novice rescuer for as long as I can remember. I started helping neighbors with pet care and stray rehabilitation when I was a teenager. As a teen, I also worked on a farm and had exposure to many different types of animals. I have worked with other local professional pet care agencies here in Pittsburgh and I am a Certified Pet Saver (trained in pet care and basic first aid). I have experience working with challenging/reactive animals, senior pets and administering medications. My primary job for the past 10 years has been in-home social services, so I am very familiar with being in other homes and treating them with the same respect as my own. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats (and other critters), regardless of age or breed. I'm able to follow detailed instructions and I can also help with other house sitting needs: watering plants, taking the trash out, switching lights on and off, yard poop clean-up, bringing in mail and packages and other requests (within reason). I will make sure your pets and property are given the utmost respect and care while you are away and I will provide you with detailed updates per your preference. I do not have a fixed worked schedule. I do primarily care, some agency and some freelance, and no two weeks look the same. I try to keep my schedule here updated to reflect my weekly availability and if we schedule a visit, just know that is my commitment to you and your pet(s) at that time. I own my home and I have a fenced balcony that pups can relax on and enjoy the weather instead of being cooped up inside. I have an unfenced yard for potty breaks. I have two cats who are neutered, vaccinated, and very friendly. They are also okay around dogs, but I am able to keep them separated if needed. If your pet needs to be crated, you will need to provide that as I do not have a crate here. As far as visits in your home, I will follow whatever instructions you provide and treat your home and pet(s) as my own. I want them to feel as if nothing has changed in their routine while you are away.

“Kassandra did a wonderful job taking care of my dog for the weekend. She sent multiple updates and pictures over the time spent with him. She shows a lot of care and attention!”

About: Hi! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Between over 20 years of pet ownership experience and having worked as a veterinary technician for 9 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care when their owners are away. My family consists of a menagerie of animals, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique care needs. Our family currently includes an older dog with medication requirements, two ferrets, several bearded dragons, and a crested gecko. Whether your pet needs medication administration, enrichment, feeding, or simply lots of love and attention, I understand the importance of following routines and providing dependable care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am studying for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines and visit times. In my own home, I care for and feed our pets daily, typically in the morning or afternoon, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and following specific care instructions. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, medication administration, or a customized routine, I am happy to work with you to meet your pet's individual needs and your preferred schedule. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your pet's daily routine. I cannot bring furry animals to our home as I have an older, reactive dog. If you give me instructions, I will make sure I meet their needs because every pet is different.

“Shaina is amazing as always! She is reliable and capable, I know Munch is getting the exercise and training that he needs while I'm away. Munch loves going for his walks with her!”

“Danielle was easy to communicate with, got along great with the dogs, and went above and beyond to give them exercise on a stormy day by coming back by once the rain had stopped to let them out again. I will definitely hire her more and highly recommend her.”

“I made a last minute walk and he was able to help me! My dog look very happy and satisfied thank you.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since I was a kid! My neighbors relied on me to go over to feed, walk, and play with their dogs when they were our of town. I’m currently working a part time job, so I tend to have plenty of time to dog walk! My schedule varies week by week, so I tend to be flexible and can be available at different times! When walking your dog, I will always make sure they have their collar and/or harness on, and anything else they may need during a walk! Making sure we walk in a safe, nice environment that is pet friendly is also extremely important.

About: I have always had an animalin my life since I was a young kid. I have a 15 year-old weiner dog, a 2 1/2 year-old, and a 11 month old mixed breed. I also have three cats in our household, all of whom live together peacefully. Prior to this, l had a yellow lab named Charlie that we loved dearly. I am familiar with breeds that need a lot of exercise and attention and also breeds that just want someone close and to relax. I am a teacher, so my schedule is incredibly flexible during the summer. I am happy to come take your pup for a walk during the day, come check in with them for a few hours, etc. At my house, l have a fenced in yard so all of the animals are able to go in and out as they please. We also take our dogs for multiple walks every day. I’m happy to hang outside with your pup in the backyard, or take them for a walk—I have an athletic dog myself!

“Thank you Kathleen! I had a last minute change of plans and needed someone for my dog Truffle. Within hours, Kathleen stopped over and made sure Truff was let out, walked and has food and water before she left. I felt so much better after she was there. Appreciate the help! Truffle looked happy as well. :)”
