“I don't even know where to begin... Having just moved back to the Pgh area, I wasn't sure who to trust in taking care of my pup. Dmitra has provided me with the reassurance that she will take great care of Luna and give her lots of love when I am not around. Not only was she highly recommended but we are so happy to call her our friend!!!”


“Ann was super responsive and very accommodating. Thank you!”


“Rachel went way, way above and beyond caring for my sick dog! We're so lucky to have had her help, and I ended up rebooking before the first booking ended.”



About: Hi! We're Nikki and Stefano. We've both had dogs in our homes as long as we can remember and won't ever have it any other way. We've had dogs ranging from toy chihuahuas to heelers to our current pups, a Great Pyreneese/lab and an Australian Shephard/Red Heeler. So any dog size or breed is fine with us. We love spending time with animals and we would love to get a chance to meet new dog friends and give them the same love and attention we give to our own pups while also meeting and learning more about each different breed and their personalities. My wife works from home and i work in the office 3 days out of the week, so we are 100% flexible with our days to watch, walk, or play with your pups. I work in the office Tuesdays through Thursdays. My wife works from home and is available to watch and play with the pups all day. We have a good sized fenced back yard that our two dogs love to run around in so your dogs will have plenty of time to hang out and play outside or relax and take naps inside.

“Sydney's been great. Punctual and communicative. Would recommend!”


“Maison was great with Nola, she welcomed her and took on our hyper active pup. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Carol did an amazing job and my little Maggie fell in Love with her unlike any other Dog walkers. she was on time and every though it was raining, she managed to get our girl an a great walk. Book her for sure 👍❤️”



About: I have cared for a variety of breeds, from Pitties to Chihuahuas, and puppies to senior doggies! If your baby needs special meds, a diaper change, or just a walk around the block, look no further—I’ve done it all! I’m here to give you peace of mind and your pet(s) the love they deserve while you’re away. Even the most independent kitties get the love and respect they deserve 🩷🐾 I do a lot of volunteering, particularly over the summer, so I have gaps all over the place perfect for your pet! They are my priority and I will ALWAYS make time for extra loving. If you are hesitant about scheduling, feel free to reach out and ask questions! I will always request a home visit prior to the start of my services to make sure I am the right fit for you and your pet, as well as to become comfortable with the environment and needs of your pet. This way, your animal’s safety and happiness will be in the best hands possible!

“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!”


“Jordan is an exemplary dog walker in every sense. She is trustworthy, compassionate, and an excellent communicator. Our dog, Gravy, always leaves their walks happy and well exercised. We feel extremely lucky to have Jordan as a weekly walker and would strongly recommend her to anyone!”


About: I’ve done dog sitting for family and friends during vacations and such. I’m an animal lover and always have been. I have done in home dog sitting on multiple occasions. I work from home so I have to ability to step away to care for people’s pets. I am also available most days and times It’s more than just walking dogs or making sure they have food and water. I want them to make sure they know they are cared for emotionally as well and get some energy out by playing and interacting

About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes

“Natalie was on time, and professional. She was also very attentive to Harper’s needs, as my dog has some issues (anxiety, high-energy). I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.”


About: I had an 80lb/13yo pooch who I cared for since she was a tiny pup to a senior. I have also taken care of my friends and family's dogs and cats when they go out of town or need some assistance. My cat has is diabetic and so I administer shots to him twice a day. This year we adopted a 7 month year old puppy and are living a fun and chaotic time with her. I'm currently a full-time worker who is available during the week sometimes and available throughout the day on most weekends. Just ask and let’s see if we can work something out! I am very much about routine when it comes to my cat and dog. They seem to like this the best. I would treat a client's pet much like I would treat mine, with care, love, and a routine!

About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.

“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’ve raised three cats myself and have five years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and neighbors. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available Monday through Sunday, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily fit pet care into my routine and adjust to your needs. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment in a great community. There’s a large grassy area and a park just downstairs—perfect for regular walks and playtime. My home is clean, safe, and calm, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific routines, including crating if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness.


“Devin is a consummate professional! Devin started walking my pup almost a month ago. He has been extremely patient and caring with getting to know Max, who has been quite resistant to allowing a stranger into our home. Devin has been very communicative, takes a lot of cute pics, and is consistent with his care. Without any hesitation, I would highly recommend Devin as a dog walker/sitter!”


About: I have been housesitting and taking care of dogs and cats since high school. Whether it be going for walks or just cuddling with them in the house I have had experience in all areas. I have an 85 pound 1 year old dog of my own so I have experience with larger dogs in addition to smaller dogs. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals or take them on walks whatever is needed. I will make sure to keep your pets safe just as I would my own dog. I will keep them safe whether it be in your yard, in the house, or on a leash.

About: Before I walk your dog or hang with your cat, there are three things you should know about me. I love being outside, being with animals, and making and performing music. It's incredibly rewarding to me to care for animals. I believe me and your dog or cat share the same curiosity for adventure and I can't wait to get to know them. There's also a good chance that I end up singing some of my music to them. I grew up with pets and have experience in dog and cat sitting for neighbors and friends. When it comes to your pets, my first priority is their safety. I am extremely timely, and adaptable to all sorts of dogs and cats. Consider letting me care for, explore with, and sing to your animals! Currently working part-time, so a lot of availability, especially if you give lots of advance notice! I can be flexible with timing for walks and drop-ins. I don't have space for dogs or cats in my current home, as I'm living with my wife in someone else's area that does not allow pets. But, I'm happy to help take care of your animal in your home by maintaining a safe and clean environment for them, and making sure they are well-fed and exercised.

Caitlyn N.Star Sitter
“Caitlyn is a fantastic pet sitter. On more than one occasion she has dog sat for my rescue american bulldog , Baxter. He has a specialized diet and needs care when out for a walk, as he is dog aggressive. Caitlyn took great care in being sure my instructions were followed properly to insure the comfort and safety of the pet sitting. Caitlyn is an honest and safe Rover, she took good care of my property , watering plants, bringing in mail and cleaning up any pet accidents. She is a great listener, trust worthy and bonds well with pets. Her excellent customer service and pet experience is why she is a repeat choice for Baxter's care.”
