Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Hays, Pittsburgh, PA

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a routine, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I offer dependable, attentive care with plenty of affection. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're gone. I just graduated from Auburn University, and have just moved to Pittsburgh from Memphis! My availability is extremely open and I am willing to work days, nights, weekends, or whatever is needed. At the moment, the fence in my backyard is undergoing repairs, so I’m not offering pet care in my home right now. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel most at ease. Working in your home allows me to stick closely to your pet’s routine and provide one-on-one attention in a space that’s familiar and comfortable for them. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“Cori was wonderful w my elderly pups- sent such sweet pictures, was understanding of my pups’ medical needs and I didn’t need to worry about them while I worked night shift knowing they got their bedtime potty break and extra love. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking. Thank you ❤️🐾”

“Mia was excellent! She kept in great communication, sent lots of photos, and my dogs really liked her. When I came home, everything looked great, no messes. I noticed she even cleaned up the kibble cat food my cat's sprinkled around while I was gone (they do this to protest my leaving 🤣). I would definitely recommend Mia for sitting services.”

“Sabrina accepted a last-minute request and gave wonderful care to our sometimes finicky cat! She provided detailed updates with pictures (even tracking down our cat when hiding), which gave peace of mind. Grateful for her help!”

“Ashley is fantastic. She showed our cats lots of love and was also extremely communicative/responsive. Literally could not ask for a better sitter.”

Elliot N.

“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”

“Kaysie has been great! Always communicates effectively and gives plenty of notice if there’s a scheduling issue. My shy girl quickly warmed up to her and I know she is in the best hands each night I’m at work.”

Ella S.

“Natalie is wonderful! Have to use her often for business travel which is random and sometimes very last minute due to projects. She is very reliable! Don’t steal her time please, I need her! Lol”

Kim D.

“Sent great photos and did everything I asked them to do. Will be using again!”

“Kristen was great with Murphy and helped out picking up a few additional visits when I was in a jam. I would highly recommend her and book her again in the future.”

“Brynn and John took excellent care of Chloe. I most highly recommend them as dog sitters. Chloe was well taken care of, walked, and encouraged to eat. Brynn and John provided photos and notes at each visit, which I appreciated very much.”

“Im trying to find a sitter for my vacation and have been looking everywhere in west mifflin area, south. I also have been taking my dogs to homes to watch them while away, I am newly divorced and my dogs have always gone everywhere with us, but this year as I have them on my own would be too much for one person. I found Alyssa and had no reviews but was in West Mifflin area and does house sitting. This would be a score, but with no reviews very hesitant. Both my dogs have had TPLO surgery and my oldest has a slight neck issue. Our first encounter was a video call. We talked quite some time and I automatically felt at ease. Alyssa is personable, and seems very genuine. We set up a drop in as I left to meet a friend. When Alyssa came to my home, my dogs loved her. Parker even did his under leg walk on her. I felt at ease with my dogs being watch, but also felt my home was in good hands as well. We are working with Alyssa for more visits in the next month until I leave for vacation to become acclimated. My dogs are my kids and think they are human. They have been thru alot with me and I am very particular of who watches my dogs so this is a huge win for us.”

“Our two older cats were so well cared for by Lara. One of our cats requires meds twice a day and she was able to keep him on his med routine the entire time we were away, which was really impressive. Our home was clean when we got home - litter boxes tidy and everything in place. We're really happy with the care provided and absolutely would book her again to care for our boys! Thank you Lara!”

“Tony looked after our dog Rocco while we were on our honeymoon and I couldn’t be happier!! We got wonderful photos from each visit and SUCH a cute summation of what they got up to together, we came home to a very happy dog. Thank you so much Tony!!”

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my family for years because they know how much I love to be around animals. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two cats who are my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for you furry family when you are away. I am a freelance artist and am usually doing various creative projects in the Pittsburgh area. Which gives me a very flexible schedule to focus on pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I can usually accommodate short notice and regular routines. I'm happy to work with your pets specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my own home, I can only accommodate small dogs who are cat-friendly, since I have two cats of my own. Their well-being and yours are always my top priority.

“Shakina is so fantastic. She treats your pets like her own and is so attentive, detailed, and kind. I would be comfortable leaving my pup with Shakina for any amount of time!”

Rose L.

“Toni is great! Very communicative, friendly, and knowledgeable. Toni sends lots of photos and provides a thorough run down of each visit. Thanks, Toni!”

About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.

“Denyal did a great job checking in on my puppies (3 months old, 15 lbs and 3 years old, 75 lbs)! I recieved updates and pictures on how they were doing and when I got home everything was in order and the pups were content.”
