“Thanks so much for walking Turtle! Even in cold weather, Tiffany made sure Turtle got his exercise and bathroom break! Very grateful and will reach out again!”

About: I’ve grown up with many pets including small and large dogs, cats, snakes, birds, rats/hamsters, spiders, ferrets, and many more! I’m here to help out with all of your pets needs and can take on any job, big or small. I am a fully remote employee and can take care of your pet at any time throughout the day! No time is too early or late for me. I am available throughout the week and most weekends as well. I live in Bloomfield right next to Friendship park perfect for dog walking. I can travel to you or house animals at my residence. I have one cat of my own who is very friendly and keeps to himself. He can also be easily separated from your pet if needed!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood, whether my own, or for friends, family, and neighbors. I will treat your sweet dog or cat as my own. I can go on long or short walks, can administer medications, can play or provide sweet loving attention to your fur babies. I work part-time, so I’m happy to be at your home or taking care of your dog/cat before 9 and after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. The other days of the week/weekend I can be there as often as you’d like, for as long as you’d like. I can walk dogs for as long as you need, we can work out a schedule that works best. My yard is partially fenced, so I fully intend to watch your dog during outdoor time if you are not one to use a lead. My house is 3-stories so perfect for any size animal. At the client’s home, I will follow your instructions as close as possible, and can provide a safe and loving presence. The only caveat is my house has 2 cats, so we must be sure the the visiting dog is safe with cats.
“Heather does an amazing job with my 2 pups!! She makes sure they have on their coats or harnesses depending on the cold temps. My pups enjoy the long walks with her and being able to sniff at their own pace!! The pups get so excited to see her! Definitely would recommend Heather to take care of your pets!!”

About: Hi! I’m currently focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m not offering boarding at the moment. I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs. I started taking care of pets for family friends about five years ago when I was living in Boston, and since then I’ve gained experience with dogs at different stages of their lives. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while staying with me. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their dog is in good hands, so I always do my best to provide attentive and thoughtful care. I usually work best with calm dogs who are comfortable relaxing on their own. For boarding, dogs should be able to stay home alone for a few hours and should not have severe separation anxiety. I’m more experienced with smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) and enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel at home. I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. Please feel free to reach out and tell me more about your pup — I’d love to meet them! I currently work 30 hours per week. I’m an early person so I’m happy to take pets to early walks! I am happy to walk your dog 3 times a day. Please chat with me! To ensure I can continue providing the highest standard of care to my clients, I have made the decision to limit my service to take care of one dog at a time I make sure I understand the needs from pet parents. Initially, I would ask pet parent to answer a list of questions I found helpful to know. For example, what’s the daily walking/sleeping/exercise/wasting routine. I will also take pictures/videos through out the day, and send them daily to keep parents updated through the boarding period.
“Alexandra does a great job with my (high energy) German shorthaired pointer. She’s communicative about any concerns or changes - I appreciate her attention to detail, and she’s reliable and trustworthy.”

About: I have had pets all of my life. I also have extensive pet rescue experience with pets of all kinds and ages. I frequently foster animals and have a few “foster fails” that are now a permanent part of my family. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat that I spend time with all day. I am available most times of the day and I am excited to help your fur family members! I have experience with kenneling, ensuring gates and fences are secured, following best guidelines to avoid dog bloat, and understand the needs of reactive dogs and puppies ( along with non reactive dogs, of course).
“Nellie has been an amazing weekly dog walker for my dog, Rocky. She’s incredibly reliable and always communicates ahead of time if she needs to adjust his walk schedule, which I really appreciate. I always feel confident that Rocky is in great hands with her. I highly recommend Nellie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring walker!”

“Super sweet person! Our golden, Ellie, seemed to really enjoy spending time with Jackie on her walk and she was able to use her commands and had control of her but was still very friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend Jackie.”


“Alexandra is great! She has been my twice weekly dog walker for about a month now. She communicates extremely well and is very reliable. She leaves detailed info on how the walk went with my dog, which I appreciate. She has gone out of her way to accommodate Ada, who can at times be shy with new people. Would recommend!”

“Shannon has been walking my pup for two weeks now and has been wonderful! The weather has been freezing and snowy and yet she has always showed up on time and has established a great relationship with my dog. She does a super job knowing when it’s too cold (or my dog just isn’t in the mood) to go for an extended walk and will just play with him inside a bit longer instead. Highly recommended!”

“Wallis was very considerate to come and meet Murphy before our scheduled walk and visit. She was very dependable and came right on time to take Murphy out. I would definitely have her again”

About: Pet-sitting has become a meaningful part of my life. Alongside my wife, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for the past three years, and it’s truly been the perfect way to fill the gap left by being away from my own dog. I genuinely cherish the companionship they bring and always make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. You can count on me to treat your furry friend with the same care and attention I would give my own – keeping them safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. Whether it’s a tiny purebred dog or a large, energetic mixed breed, I do my best to keep them entertained and maintain a joyful routine tailored to their needs. I am available for walking dogs and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I am also available to sit on weekends and most weekdays. Send me a message, and I will do my best to help you. Although I can’t host pets at my place, I’m more than happy to care for your furry friend in the comfort of your home. I always make it a priority to follow your specific instructions to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. With plenty of experience sitting for both dogs and cats in the area – including overnight stays – I’m dedicated to making your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I’m currently working remotely, I have the flexibility to stay for longer periods at your place, as long as there’s WIFI access and a comfortable spot to use my laptop. When sitting for dogs, I usually take them for three walks a day – morning, afternoon, and evening – but I’m happy to adjust to your dog's specific routine to make sure they feel comfortable and content.
“Hailey is the best with Ziggy!! He loves her and she always keeps me updated on how he’s doing and I get lots of great pictures of him while I’m away at work! Absolutely couldn’t ask for better!!”

About: I have been around my friends', neighbors', relatives', roommates' dogs for the majority of my life. Whenever they needed walked, we did that. When someone was out of town and their dog needed companionship and care, I would oblige. I've even taken dogs camping! - side note - I've got experience with larger animals like horses and cows, through work and camping. And as a conservationist, I've been blessed to immerse myself in the habitats of a variety of different animals, the world over. I have the flexibility with my primary work and my home-life to be available at flexible times for pet care. As long as things are communicated well, I predict smooth sailing. Pets are animals; sentient beings. As it is in my home, so will it be in yours. A pet deserves respect and love, and probably a good chunk of your immediate attention. In general, I place courtesy and respect high on the importance-scale, which means that I will treat your home with care. I have no problems following house rules that ensure the pet's comfort and your peace-of-mind.
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a cat! I have fostered cats before and am familiar with medications and some of those more shy/scared personalities. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pet and want to help create as much comfort for them as possible while you’re away. I am currently a grad student so I have a lot of schedule flexibility! Feel free to message me and I should be able to adapt to your needs. I intend to care for your pets exactly the way you do in your home. I am great at following instructions to the T and will respect any preferences you have with care. I’m also tidy and will clean up any messes that are made so your home looks exactly the way you left it.

About: i grew up with dogs and recently had a large German Shepherd i had in my care in her golden years. i have experience administering medication, lifting to accommodate physical disabilities, and basic training. i'm a proponent of being a consistent presence in your pet's life to build trust—but i will be in Pittsburgh until the end of July. with that being said, i am great at practicing consistency, patience, and compassionate care. i am an artist, and i am usually painting and working on projects every day 10am - 2pm, and other than that i am available :) i do not have any pets of my own, so i am happy to spend as much time with them as possible since my work is flexible. i follow exact feeding/exercise schedule, ensure the house is secure, notice subtle changes in behavior and health. to provide a peace of mind, i update clients often.
“Marcela and her partner walked my dogs daily while I was out of town and they did a great job. Very communicative, kind, and my pups were well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!”

Claire was great with our shy dog, Mimi. She has a really warm, friendly energy, which helped Mimi feel more comfortable and confident with her. Claire showed up right on time, followed our instructions closely, and was especially attentive to the notes we left about bunnies in the neighborhood since Mimi loves to chase. We really appreciated how prepared and careful she was. We were so happy she could help us with Mimi’s walks for two days, and we’d absolutely book with her again. All the stars! Highly recommend!

Aniela was absolutely incredible with our dog, Lucy! From the moment we connected, she was warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with caring for pets. We received regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter. Thank you, Aniela!

Emily was our long term walker for around 8 months. She was always on time, formed a bond with our pup, and went above and beyond to take him on long walks! She’s also great on overnight visits, and made sure our pup felt safe in an unfamiliar environment. Her communication is great, and we highly recommend her to care for your pet!

Michaela is very professional and great at communicating. She was in touch promptly and very accommodating. She took such good care of Crispy. She’s willing to do extra long walks which my puppy needs. She’s a natural with dogs as well and very gentle and affectionate. Crispy and I can’t wait to book her again!

Tiffany was such a wonderful walker! We especially appreciate her openness to taking a short notice booking. She was very communicative and wanted to understand our dog Julie’s routine. You can tell Tiffany gets along well with all dogs as the moment she came in, Julie was excited and ready to meet a new friend!
