House Sitting Hickory

“Cara was great! From the moment I contacted her she was so quick to respond! So many dog sitters don’t respond that quickly and some don’t respond ever? I was thankful to get Cara to sit with Penelope!! Thank you! 👍❤️😊”

“Megan is everything that you look for in a Sitter, but never find. Megan and my Bichon bonded immediately. Lexi doesn't roll over for a belly rub until she is really comfortable with someone, and that usually takes being around that person a number of times, but she rolled over and wanted a belly rub the first time Megan was here to watch her. Megan remembered everything that we had gone over at the Meet & Greet. She was on time for the Sitting. It's normally hard to leave your dog with someone new, but I was 100% comfortable leaving Lexi with Megan, as I saw how they adored each other. Megan sent some really cute pictures of Lexi, which I really enjoyed seeing. I had complete trust in Megan, which is a great feeling, as it usually takes a little bit of time to build this level of trust. I couldn't be happier, and feel very fortunate to have found such an amazing Sitter for Lexi. I already have Megan scheduled to watch Lexi 2 more times in the very near future. If you want to have peace of mind and know that your pet is being taken care of by an incredible Sitter, I highly recommend Megan.”

“Jarett was wonderful. Freya was unfamiliar with him at first but they are now friends. We will happily have him stay with her again. He kept us informed of her well-being, which is always a big relief when you’re away from home.”

“Kristie is always fabulous with our lab Maya. They go on plenty of walks, to the park and hanging out on the deck. Thanks Kristie for everything!”

“This is the second time I have hired Cynthia and she did an excellent job once again. My senior dog was well taken care of. Furthermore, she stayed overnight at my home for the visits and left my house clean and tidy. Thank you again Cynthia.”

“Kiara did such an amazing job watching my pup! My pup is reactive and nervous around strangers and she followed all of my instruction on how to interact with him and everything went great!”

“Highly recommend Gretchen. She did a great job taking care of our dog and cat over our wedding weekend! Our dog is very fearful and challenging but she rolled with the punches...in fact Toby went potty for her several times (which is a huge accomplishment).”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, providing pet care and sitting services to friends, neighbors and family. I'm the person who will immediately try to help if I find an unattended dog and make every effort to reunite the good boy or girl with their family. I'm currently between careers and looking to earn some extra money doing something I've always loved as I train for the next phase of my life. I've learned from my own dogs that consistency and routine are essential to helping them feel safe and regulated. I'll make every effort to follow your dog's usual routine and rituals to keep them feeling loved until your return.

“Kaylee was fantastic and made going away a breeze! She was responsive, professional, and very competent. She gave us regular updates and pictures which was great. I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely go to her first when we need someone we can trust with our pups.”

“Moon was absolutely amazing. We have 5 dogs and a cat. She took great care of our pets and made sure that they had plenty of play time, cuddle time, and of course, treats! She always sent plenty of photos every day and communicated with us throughout our vacation. All of our pets took to her right away and they were very happy and healthy when we returned home from our trip. We will definitely be using Moo. On our next trip.”

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was 4 years old! From frogs and lizards, to rabbits and hamsters, to cats and dogs, caring for animals has always been my passion. I studied Marine Biology in college and began volunteering in the community as a dog walker and cat caretaker for the humane society. After graduating, I went straight into veterinary medicine, spending 5 years in emergency and critical care before transitioning into veterinary oncology, where I’ve spent the last 2 years caring for pets through some of their toughest moments. I then passed my boards to be a certified VT. For me, THIS has never just been a job. ❤️ I do this because I genuinely love animals and want every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m here for you & your pets! ❤️ They’re my best friends too! 🐾🤍 I work 4 days during the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. (10 hour shifts). I consistently have Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday off. I am always willing to stop before and after my work days as well. For dogs: I love taking dogs on peaceful park adventures for fresh air and exercise, choosing quiet times with no other dogs around to keep outings comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Sometimes will take them to get a pup cup (if they like car rides and have no stomach issues). I always ask owners what their pets love the most, whether it is walks, playing fetch or enjoying a favorite snack! Cats: They deserve a space where they feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease! 🐱🤍 I strongly believe in creating a low-stress environment and letting every cat settle in at their own pace, with plenty of patience, love, and respect for their individual personality. Your kitty will have their own room to relax, a cat tower to climb, toys galore, and fresh catnip on hand for extra fun! 🌿 If your cat enjoys socializing, my very friendly resident cat and small dog are happy to offer some company, too. Whether your baby is a playful little explorer or a shy snuggle bug who needs extra time to feel at home, I’ll tailor their care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my lifetime. I'm responsible, loving and believe pets can bring joy to your everyday busy life.They become part of your family. I am a retired teacher and mom of twin teenage boys. I have plenty of time during the day to care for my furry friends. My current home does not have enough space for me to care for pets in my space, but I have np problem coming to yours.

“Communicative, timely, and kind!”

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I love to play with and bathe them and treat them to something special on occasion. I currently work a full time job, but have free time in the evening and the weekends to care for your furbaby. I am a single mom of 3. My youngest is in college so I kind of have an "empty nest" while he is away, which gives me free time to spend with your furbaby. I do have a furbaby of my own, Toby. He is my best friend and companion. I know how important pets are to the family and I would treat yours as a part of my family. My furbaby gets fed and treats before I leave the house. He loves playing and going for walks. He loves car rides and is seatbelted.

About: I’ve taken care of animals as far back as I can remember, but most of my dog experience goes back the past few years! I had a golden growing up and she was my soul-dog, and now we have a family german shepherd! I adore every soul I get the pleasure of meeting, and love all dogs with my whole heart. I understand how hard it is to leave your babies with someone, and I promise to treat them with the utmost kindness and care. I’m currently in-between jobs and trying to find my passion. Since I’ve always loved having pets, what better way to find myself than spending more time with them? I’m free almost every day as of right now, and will keep this updated as I go. I can’t care for dogs at my own home unfortunately, as I don’t live alone! I’m good at following instructions and will treat your home with respect.

About: I have watched dogs before and I only watch small breeds who are fixed already. Large breeds I dnt watch . So contact accordingly please. I can watch 3 times a week right now as per my schedule and only small breeds who are fixed already and no dogs with prior bitting or attacking experience I have a backyard and a mini schnauzer to give your fur baby company and he gets along with kids and other dogs very well

“Deeanna was a wonderful sitter for our 2 boys!! I highly recommend her! She gave us multiple updates throughout the day with pictures and videos and left my home so clean that it was like she wasn’t there. I will definitely ask her to sit my 2 pups again without hesitation and recommend her to family and friends.”

“Brittany was staying with my two dogs for 5 days and everything went great. When we returned the dogs were happy and healthy and the house was in perfect order. I will definitely ask Brittany to house sit again.”
