“Tomorrow is the third birthday of my two Maltese - Shih Tsu mix dogs, and Heather has been walking them ever since they came into my life at 4 months of age. They LOVE her and she treats them as her own. She is very trustworthy and even though it means she might not be available when I call, I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who asks!!”

About: I've been a pet owner since I was two years old and played a major role in taking care of my family dogs and guinea pig! I've had my own dog, a cattle dog mix, for the last 5+ years. I've educated myself on training techniques and skills for stimulating dogs physically and mentally in order to keep up with her! I have experience looking after friends' and families' cats and dogs, and I'm a self-appointed playground monitor at my local dog park. I'm excited to meet your furry family member and give them some love and care while you're away. I'm currently applying for engineering / academic jobs after earning my degree, so other than caring for my own dog, my days are wide open. I have a fenced-in backyard and a playful dog who is great with dogs of all sizes. I've got food puzzles, Bully Make and Benebone chew toys, and a ChuckIt tennis ball thrower. My dog is crate-trained so I'm happy to follow your lead on your pets' needs.

“David took awesome care of Zeppole on short notice. He left fun greeting videos and photos and gave her a ton of love and attention during a long work day away. He was super flexible, a wonderful communicator and clearly really loves and cares about pups!”

“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”

Sue S.

“Cannot thank Tiffany enough for her flexibility and thoroughness when walking Turtle! She is a great communicator, and shares detailed info about their walks! It's a weight off my shoulders on busy days, and I can always count on Turtle to have a great time when he walks with Tiffany!”

“Tony is an excellent dog walker! He has a kind and gentle demeanor and is reliable for us when we go out of town. He is familiar with the Easy Walk harness that we use for our 85 pound Great Pyrenees, which is a huge relief! We feel so lucky to have found him!”

About: Animals have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with dogs and cats of all personalities! I currently share my home with Kisses, my calico, and Teddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer — one of the highest-energy breeds out there — so if your dog goes a mile a minute, I'm more than ready for it!! Over the years I've dog sat for all sizes and breeds — from tiny lap dogs to large, boisterous pups — and I treat every single one like they're my own. Your pet will be loved, played with, and completely spoiled. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, zoom, and explore that's perfect for dogs who need to burn off some energy. I'm also comfortable administering medication, so pets with special health needs are absolutely welcome. Your baby will get the same attentive care at my place that they get at home. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy stay or a high-energy playmate, I've got them covered. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care is never an afterthought. It's woven into my whole day. I'm home the majority of the week, and on the rare occasion I do step out, I'm never gone for more than 3 hours. Your pet will always have someone present, attentive, and ready to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. No long stretches alone, ever. My home is set up thoughtfully for both dogs and cats. The layout is split-level, with cats having full run of the upstairs and dogs enjoying the main floor plus access to the fully fenced backyard — plenty of space to play, explore, and burn energy safely. The two never have to share space unless everyone is comfortable. I do have a resident calico and a German Shorthaired Pointer, both of whom are friendly and social, so I do ask that visiting pets are comfortable around other animals of their kind. I always offer a free meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone — pets and people — feels good about the stay before any commitment is made. My home is puppy-proofed and high-energy-dog-ready, and I have 24/7 SimpliSafe security monitoring for added peace of mind. You can expect regular photos and updates throughout every stay because you shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions exactly. Your routines, your rules — meal times, crate preferences, favorite toys, walking routes — I stick to all of it. I respect your home as if it were my own, always clean up after your dog outside, and scoop litter boxes daily. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point.

About: I believe every dog deserves loving, dependable care and plenty of attention while their family is away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, energy level, and individual needs so that they feel happy in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every dog receives the care and affection they deserve. I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I am currently working on independent projects which gives me an open availability and allows me to work around you and your fur baby’s schedule. I make sure your home is kept clean and secure, treating it as if it were my own. I also ensure that your pet does not feel out of place in their own home, my priority is always their safety and comfort while giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving, reliable hands.

About: I have experience in all types of pet care for over a decade! I have taken care to kittens to large Bernese Mountain Dogs! I also have experience with small critters such as rabbits. If you are traveling, I can also take care of plants! Your pet will be in the best hands that are caring and patient. I am currently a teacher on summer break, so my availability for the summer is pretty open. My availability will change once mid-August rolls around! Safety is my first priority when it comes to taking care of your pet! I am a patient person by nature, so rest assured your pet is in safe hands! I can also take care of any plants if needed!

About: Hi! I’m currently focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m not offering boarding at the moment. I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs. I started taking care of pets for family friends about five years ago when I was living in Boston, and since then I’ve gained experience with dogs at different stages of their lives. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while staying with me. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their dog is in good hands, so I always do my best to provide attentive and thoughtful care. I usually work best with calm dogs who are comfortable relaxing on their own. For boarding, dogs should be able to stay home alone for a few hours and should not have severe separation anxiety. I’m more experienced with smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) and enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel at home. I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. Please feel free to reach out and tell me more about your pup — I’d love to meet them! I currently work 30 hours per week. I’m an early person so I’m happy to take pets to early walks! I am happy to walk your dog 3 times a day. Please chat with me! To ensure I can continue providing the highest standard of care to my clients, I have made the decision to limit my service to take care of one dog at a time I make sure I understand the needs from pet parents. Initially, I would ask pet parent to answer a list of questions I found helpful to know. For example, what’s the daily walking/sleeping/exercise/wasting routine. I will also take pictures/videos through out the day, and send them daily to keep parents updated through the boarding period.

“Yasmeen is just the sweetest and truly cares about animals. She was so patient with my skiddish pup and did her best to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable with her. I'd highly recommend!”

Penny J.

About: I’ve worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center for over three years, and have years of experience cat sitting for my neighbor. I’ve worked both in the kennel and daycare and have experience in different areas of animal care. As a recent graduate, I have more free time! I am a recent college graduate who works part time at a kennel. I am always able to make time to care for pets and adapt my schedule! I cater to the needs of the animal and owner. With having experience with different needs of an animal at my boarding and daycare job, I have an understanding of how to reach those needs.

“Ava was great with my pup! She responded quickly, was reliable, and took her on a nice walk. I really appreciated the prompt photo updates and communication throughout the visit. I would definitely book with Ava again and would recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog walker.”

“Amy is just *wonderful.*! Prompt, kind, knowledgeable, and great with my Millie. It gives me great peace of mind knowing she is walking and checking in on my dog when I am away and my partner is working long hours. Really grateful.”

About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.

“Therese was an amazing help! I was out of town for the day and I scheduled two walks with her. She sent me pictures of him both times and assured me he was doing great!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid, and have a cat of my own. Friends and family ask me to walk and pet-sit when they are traveling so I figured I could help folks throughout Pittsburgh! I also volunteer at the rescue league. I'm available and flexible during the week and weekends, with no limit on hours. I am happy to walk early in the mornings and in the evenings as well. I have a single cat at home. I also grew up in a home with multiple dogs that I would walk simultaneously. I also take care of friends' dogs when they leave town.

About: I have grown up caring big and small dogs of neighbors, friends, and family and will always let your dog take the lead when getting to know me. I am a very active person and love being able to give your furry friends their exercise with long walks, playing outside, or even runs! I will diligently follow any instructions/guidelines you set for me and will be sure to send thorough feedback and pictures for each visit. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule varies a bit throughout the week. I will always be communicative about times I’m available to ensure your pets receive the best care. I consider myself an extremely thorough and reliable person and will follow all guidelines and instructions concerning your pets diligently. Important aspects of care, like diet, medication, and more will be followed accurately to ensure the health and safety of your pet.
