About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve learned how to provide the care, patience, and love each dog deserves. I’m now a proud dog mom myself, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, some playtime, or extra snuggles, I’ll treat your dog like my own. I have a flexible schedule, am extremely detail oriented, and am excited to help you with your pet care needs! I currently work completely remote with a flexible schedule and am happy to do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I am an early bird and can also come to check on your pup later at night if needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m always attentive on walks, keeping a close eye on surroundings and using secure leashes and harnesses to ensure your pup stays safe. I also always make sure to take the time to ensure your dog is comfortable with me before taking them out.

“Natalia is by far the best person I've had to help w Vito!! Excellent communication and truly cares about animals ! Couldn't ask for someone better ! Thank you so much!!”


“Jennifer was amazing! She went above and beyond (bringing in mail and sweeping up messy litter with me asking) and tastes great photos :) My kitties were happy and unstressed when I came back.”


“Brooke was a big hit with our dogs Moose and Nina. She dropped in on time, gave them tons of pets and treats and delivered meds with ease. Loved having her and hope to schedule again soon.”


“Katie has taken care of my dog and cat for a long time now. She’s trustworthy, responsible, communicative, and reliable. So thankful we have her!”


“Adam was a fantastic drop-in visit cat sitter while we were out of town for a 2-week trip. He took great care of our cat and kept in touch with us every visit via the Rover app with photos and updates. 100% recommend and 100% would trust Adam to take care of our cat again—thanks, Adam!”


“Kimberly was an amazing pet sitter! She really went above and beyond. I’m so lucky to have come across her profile before my trip. She was so caring for my cat Nessie and my cat loved her! It’s such a relief to find a trustworthy sitter like her. I can’t recommend her enough.”


“Cindy is an excellent pet sitter! Our cat took to her right away. She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and it gave us peace of mind that she was caring for him while we were away.”

About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

“Lucy & Matt take great care of my furbabes! I received a ton of adorable pet pictures every day, as well as pictures of their food & litter situation so I could check that all looked normal. Based on these pictures and the visit descriptions everyday, I could tell that Lucy & Matt were very caring and deliberate in how they spent the time with my pets.”


“J is the best. She is so good with my cats and makes sure they’re so well taken care of each time she watches them. What I really appreciate is how J keeps in touch me with me and sends me regular updates about my pets. Thanks so much for everything J!”


“Linnea is the real deal! She did drop in visits for our almost two year old pittie Lucy and I could not have asked for a more capable and professional person for the job. An added bonus is that she loves to teach dogs new commands in addition to caring for them and showing them love. Linnea was spectacular and a high recommend!”


About: Hello! I work from home so, the dogs are under constant supervision. I will only be watching one dog at a time. I have a cat who likes to keep to herself. I presently work from home so I will be able to provide your puppers constant care. I love taking dogs on long walks around Lawrenceville! Fenced in backyard. pups will get plenty of exercise playing with me and going for walks. I understand the trust that owners are placing in me to care for their most loved pets and take that responsibility very seriously. I love and treat the dogs I watch as if they are my own🧡

“Martine was a Rock Star this past week (June 2025) for her drop in visits to feed our cat. She was on time every day and communication was 💯. I would recommend Martine to anyone that needs her services. Thank you, thank you, thank you…!!!”


About: I have lived with dogs since I was a baby, learning to stand with the help of our 2 amazing labs. My family currently owns an 11-year-old golden doodle who has been my adventure and walk buddy for years. I have been dog sitting since I was in high school for family and friends. While in college, I fostered dogs and cats, dog sat, and walked dogs. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, including Bernese mountain dogs, pitties, German shepherds, Samoyeds, Australian shepherds, labs, goldens, and many mixed breeds. I also have fostered 2 reactive dogs and am aware and happy to accommodate their specific needs. My most recent client I dog sat for included 2 cats and 3 dogs, including an elderly dog who needed extra love and attention. I am more than happy to help in any way possible! I work PRN as a physical therapist and can do any afternoon/night, or early morning. I am also available any time on a day I am off. My schedule is always changing, but I am more than happy to figure out a way to make something work! I will treat your property with care and respect as I work with you and your pet to meet their needs. You can rely on me as I pride myself on being very hard-working, trustworthy, punctual, organized, patient, and an exceptional communicator. I also try to keep your pets on their normal schedule/routine as best as I can! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

“Chloe did a great job with my pets, especially my senior dog. She was kind and attentive, letting me know how they were responding to her and providing pictures. The drop in visits happened at the same times twice a day. Being assured that my pets were well cared for made my long weekend away enjoyable. Chloe clearly loves animals and they love her.”


About: Hey there I’m Andre, I am relatively new to Pittsburgh, hailing originally from Jacksonville FL, but I’ve really come to like the city. I have many years of experience with pet care through both owning household pets but also being involved with family friends and their animals. I have looked after mammals, reptiles, and administered medicine to some tough doggies. When looking after your animal communication,and your pets satisfaction are my two biggest priorities. I enjoy learning the personality of each and every fur baby I come across. I love giving affection, playtime, and attention. Pride myself on long walks with dogs, and intuitive playtime with cats. I’m a professional dancer here in Pittsburgh, so currently I’m on layoff and wanted to return to this work. I hope to get to know you’re best friend! I’m currently on lay off, so I will have all day free weekly availability. I will be gone for the 1st two weeks of June. Respecting the space, and earning your animals trust having me in their home. I understand that I am in their territory, and so I operate within their comfort zone. Talking to pets is such a great way to build bonds and form that safe space where each party feels secure. When it comes to being outdoors, taking in the surroundings, being aware of any loose dogs or cats, and putting safety first are the parameters in which I operate. I believe in letting a dog sniff a bush for more than 5 seconds. I also take different walking paths to keep your pet engaged and curious while you’re away.
