House Sitting in Furlong

“Robert is an absolute lifesaver! He made my girls and me feel so relaxed and comfortable for our first time having a dog sitter. He kept us updated every day, and even though my girls have some anxiety issues, he handled everything so smoothly. Thanks again Rob and Rover!!!”

“Maura was great. She was a natural fit for our dogs and a total animal person! We hope she will sit for our pets in the future.”

About: I’ve been a huge animal lover and taken care of animals since I was about 14 years old. I have fed, walked, and spend time playing with dogs and cats of all ages. I’m very comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I work from 7am to 5 pm monday-thursday every week, but I’m available most evenings and have open availability from Friday through Sunday. This allows me to spend quality time walking, playing with, and caring for pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space indoors and outdoors for animals to roam freely. I treat every pet like my own by providing a safe, calm environment and making sure they feel comfortable, well cared for, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I have 3 older extra large dogs, 1 young medium dog, and 1 senior small dog. I’ve also had cats in my family. I’m used to caring for different sizes, ages, and energy levels, from slow walks with seniors to keeping up with younger, more active dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, and just making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I work part time from 12–3 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but my schedule is flexible and can change. Outside of those hours, I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to give pets consistent care, walks, feeding, and attention. I’m able to adjust my availability when needed. At my home, I have a large fenced yard where my dogs can safely play and spend time outside. I walk, feed, and play with them daily, and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I’m very attentive to their needs and always make time for exercise, enrichment, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks and playtime if needed, and feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m patient, reliable, and always treat every pet like my own.

“Such a wonderful experience for us and our dogs, we are so glad Wendy was able to help our family. Our senior dogs were much better off in their own environment and we had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Wendy stayed over for 2 nights, brought treats, toys, puzzles, and took care of them like they were her own. We will definitely have Wendy back to watch them during our next trip away from home.”

“Brian was great! Not only did Oskar get loads of attention and play time, Brian kept me in the loop with photos and texts while I was out of the country--which made vacation much more relaxing. :) Oskar is a big boy with anxiety and OCD issues and Brian took him and his "special needs" totally in stride! I could literally tell when I got back that Oskar had played a ton and was contentedly very tired.It was also wonderful to return to a clean home! Five stars for sure!”

“Talia treated Tiger (cat) like her own. She went out of her way to purchase pill pockets to make it easier to pill him, sent pictures/videos daily, and even left the home clean and tidy. I knew she went above and beyond by the pictures she sent—Tiger was cuddled up next to her so happy! I truly felt relief everyday knowing he was in caring hands. Tiger is a very anxious elderly cat; seeing him calm and happy by Talia’s side informed me that she took the extra time to make him feel comfortable. I absolutely recommend Talia for any pet needs!”

“Emma was great! Took kind care of our dog, was good with giving medications and ensured she was fed and walked throughout our time away. Thanks Emma!”

“Leaving your beloved pet, family member, to be cared for by someone new is scary. Dawn was our miracle. We were very happy with Dawn and her care for Riley. She took care of Riley as we requested, exercising her, walking her, spending time with her. We really appreciated her numerous communications with us, text messages and pictures several times daily which made us feel even more comfortable and at ease. Dawn was professional, caring and supportive! Thank you very much Dawn.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was 13. I hope to bring as much fun and joy to your pets as I do my own!

I have a fenced in back yard with a 2 year old Retriever and 2 domestic shorthair cats. i strive to help everyone get along as well as have their own space!

“We had Danielle watch our pup for a weekend at our home and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was completely stress free with her watching our dog & house!”

“Hailey is the best! We are always reluctant having new dog sitters; however, she not only made us feel comfortable, but our dog as well! She was very responsive and we loved the pictures she sent us while we were gone. I highly recommend Hailey!”

Christina K.

“Katie was an excellent dog sitter for our dog. She made contact with us every day to let us know how he was doing. She also sent several pictures of him throughout her stay. She always asked questions for anything that she was not sure of. We would definitely recommend her and use her in the future.”

About: Hi! I am a college student with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with cats and currently have 2 of them. I also have a sweet dog who has epilepsy, so I am experienced with giving medication and handling pets with special needs. I am responsible, caring, and understand how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I will treat them as if they were my own. I have a pretty flexible schedule for walking and staying with your pets. It will vary week by week, but I will always have time at some point each day. As a sitter, my top priorities are your pet’s safety and comfort, especially in their own environment. I always follow any specific instructions you provide, including routines, feeding schedules, and medication needs. I make sure your pet is never left unattended for extended periods and I’m attentive to their behavior and well-being at all times. I treat your home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, secure, and leaving it just as I found it. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is to make your time away stress-free, both for you and your pet.

“Kim was incredible staying overnight and taking care of our 14 week old puppy. She was incredibly patient with our puppy making sure she got frequent walks and plenty of exercise!”

“Erica stayed with my 2 dogs & cat for a last minute weekend get-away. All of my animals loved her & I know they were well cared for. Would definitely use again.”

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of pets. From small to medium to large dogs and cats to rats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs to non-venomous snakes and lizards, I’ve been able to take parts in a number of fluff balls and scaly critters lives. I have experience in training young pups, litter training small mammals, and habituating reptiles. I like to be active, giving your pet all the attention they need. I do work a full time job that takes me away from the house from 7-3:30. I fit in a breakfast and a walk before leaving in the morning. From June 22-August 17, I work mon-thurs. the rest of the year is mon-fri I will walk your dog a minimum of 2 times a day, as well as play with them (provided there is a yard/space). I can continue training routines and generally spend much of my day giving attention to your pet. Additionally, if you maintain a garden or have potted plants, I will keep them happy and healthy as well

About: I have been volunteering in a local animal shelter for about 6 months and after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh I am looking to commit more time to helping out the people and pets in my community! In the shelter I helped admitted lost animals and I have experience walking and taking dogs out for field trips. During field trips I would walk dogs through frick park, relax on my porch, and take them to get a pup cup! I loved being able to help out the dogs and give them the love they deserve! I have passed the Fear Free shelter program and have experience with dog walking as well as caring for my family’s own cat and dog. I am excited to start this new journey! I currently work from home 9-5 in the Oakland area. I’m an active adult who already likes to walk throughout my day and would love to add a dog friend to that! I would have time at lunch, as well as before or after work to care for your dog. My lunch is flexible so I can work around you! On weekends I have open availability. In the middle of work days I would not be able to provide more than 30 minutes walking or spending time with your dog, but before/after week days and during weekends I could spent up to and hour with your dog to give them extra love! In my client’s home I would care for the pet just as you would! I would ask for and follow your instructions on how you would like your pet cared for and would of course give him or her lots of love!
