“Jen takes purrfectly good care of our 3 kitties. She is really good with our sassy, senior Kate. She administers thyroid meds to Kate twice/day. She is pawesome at sending updates. She really puts our mind at ease while we away.”


“Sadie is a wonderful pup sitter! She's been checking in on my 2 pupps for dinner and potty time every weekend for a few months. The dogs are happy, and excited when I say her name before I leave for work. Directions are always carried out thoroughly, and communication about health concerns and pet behavior are always top notch. Sadie always does the best anyone could with Pittsburgh weather and thunder/rain averse dogs and gives great updates about her time in my home. The dogs are happy, im happy. I highly recommend her services 😊”


“Wow, I think Kara may have treated our senior cat better than we do! Friendly, communicative, and very reliable. We are so excited to have found such wonderful care for our cat.”


“Daniel was consistent in doing the drop off each day and communicated with us if there were issues. He seemed to genuinely enjoy dogs which we appreciated!”


“It was great to have Cori drop in on my pup. She was very patient with his high energy. She followed all instructions and I didn't have to worry about how my pup was doing”


“Zana was excellent with our dog, Stella. Stella has separation anxiety and Zana was very patient with her until she felt comfortable. Not only did she take good care of her, but she also took out the garbage and brought in mail/packages. We will be using Zana in the future for our dog sitting needs!”


“Katie did a great job looking after our two cats. She left us thorough notes on what she did during each visit and sent lots of photos. She even volunteered to vacuum litter on the floor, which was above and beyond what we expected. One of our cats is very shy, and we were impressed that he felt comfortable with Katie after just a few days. This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and Katie made the experience stress-free for us. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go away!”



“We are very happy with the care Markie provides our two cats. She is dependable and great communicator. We have used her services several times and will plan to do so again in the future.”


About: Animal lover who will provide the care you are looking for! I have grown up with both cats and dogs, loving and caring for them from young to well into their older years. I am an animal lover, having gone vegan due to my passion for animals. I would love to be able to spend more time with animals and help care for yours! I have great attention to detail and am wholeheartedly dedicated to all things I do - including taking care of your animals! Although I work full time, I am flexible due to work from home. I am active and regularly go on walks, and would be happy to take your four-legged buddy out with me or offer drop in services to help make sure your cat or dog is taken care of during the day! I currently do not have any dogs or cats of my own, therefore there are no concerns of pets not getting alone with each other.

“Erica was great with my dogs! She was super attentive and let me know everything that was going on while I was away. She even brought toys for my girls to keep. She is lovely and I highly recommend her!”


About: I love animals and have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 8. I now own 2 cats and a senior dog of my own! I work part time during summers so when I have free time I love to spend my days with my 2 cats and senior dog. My animals are my top priority so I make sure that I provide them with ample attention each day! I am very hands on with my pets and observant of their behavior. Developing a connection with each animal can help build mutual trust, and I will do that to the best of my ability with each animal I care for. For boarding bookings, I have a spare room that can serve as a safe space for pets that may feel overwhelmed or need isolation.

About: My family has always had dogs and cats. I have helped walk, feed, and take care of them my whole life and would love to take care of your pets as well. I am a student athlete at West Chester University on summer break. I have a part time job and will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I can check in on animals and take them on walks various times throughout the week and can stay over night on week nights. I live in Mount Lebanon PA which is a safe community with side walks for safe and fun walks. I have a large guarded back yard if needed with lots of room for playing and a friendly pup to keep them company.

About: I have had a lot of experience, taking care of cats and dogs over the years. They were all taken care of with love. I can administer meds if they can be given orally.

Fresh water from a water fountain, clean litter boxes, Royal Canin dry cat food, play time and lots of love. They are also members of Bansfield Hospital to make sure they are keep healthy. Whenever I would watch a cat in somebody’s home or have a drop in at someone’s home, I would make sure that all of their needs were met by following the Cat owners requests. I would also take my time in introducing myself to the cats that that are shy.

About: Hi! I’m a vet tech with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve helped with basic training, medication administration, and providing calm, loving care for pups with special needs. I also have experience with a variety of animals — I currently have 2 guinea pigs and have cared for geckos, turtles, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or snuggles, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away! I have worked in dog boarding/daycare for four years! I have had a lot of experience with different breeds and temperaments! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets before and after work. Since I start my day at 10:30 AM, I’m available in the mornings for feedings, walks, and check-ins to make sure your pet starts their day happy and cared for. I’m also available in the evenings after 5:30 PM for dinner, walks, playtime, or medication. On weekends, I’m fully available for pet sitting, longer visits, or overnight care. Your pets will receive loving, reliable care from a dedicated vet tech and fellow pet parent! Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my top priority is making sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medical needs—so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I provide updates with photos or messages so you always know how your pet is doing. In my own home, pets are treated like family with plenty of attention, enrichment, and a clean, cozy space to relax. I’m mindful of each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I always strive to make their time with me as stress-free and happy as possible.

About: I've had cats and dogs all my life. I grew up with 3 dogs, and once I was in college I had two Rottweilers that have since passed onto the rainbow bridge. They were my pride and joy - our favourite thing to do together was camp! Looking to fill the pet void by helping some fellow yinzers out. I take the upmost pride in keeping your animal safe and at ease. I won't take your precious fur baby anywhere unfamiliar, especially when first getting to know each other. I also will treat your animal as if they were mine. I am teacher who is on summer break and looking for a career change. I am available all days, anytime until I find my next gig. Once I have another full time job, I will update availability. I do not offer care in my own home (Husband is allergic). I have a kind demeanour and have always loved animals. Kindness leads all of my actions. I promise to keep your fur babies in good care.

“Aliya was very kind and followed all instructions I gave her. She sent picture updates and let me know how the drop in visit went.”
