“Kate has been wonderful with walking my boy. She communicates well, is reliable, flexible and all around a good person. Unfortunately we are moving, I can only hope our next walker is as caring & good.”
About: I have been a dog owner since the day I was born. Now I’m almost 24, a college graduate, and have been taking care of a few dogs around the area consistently over the past 5 years I do work during the week but the longest they will go without being let out is 6 hours. I can make arrangements to be home if needed I have a fenced in yard, a dog of my own to keep your dog some company, and I can always crate either dog if necessary.
About: 10 years experience is just how long since I’ve started getting paid to Pet Sit but my experience goes back since a child with our family pets, then my own little family as an adult always included our pets. I have experience with puppies and elderly doggies. I am currently not working so very open and flexible to all days and times. I plan to do Pet sitting/care part-time at first but am hoping it works out to be able to do more on a full-time basis. At this time I am not open to Pet sitting in my home as my apartment is small and I live with my teenage son and his dog lives with us who is territorial.
About: I've been a dog owner for 14 years, and in that time I've had a German Shepard, a boxer/lab mix and a full boxer. My family and I are also on the go a lot, so I understand needing help with the dogs when you're out of town! I'm excited to help take care of your fur baby while you're taking time away! I work full-time from home with a relatively flexible schedule. I am available to stop in the mornings and afternoons to let your pups out or to feed them. Evenings vary, but just ask and I'll see if I can make it work! I am unable to care for pets at my home at this time. But, I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for caring for your pet at your home.
“Cassandra was so great! We had her walk our high energy boxer while on vacation and it was a gift knowing that he was getting the workout he needs while we were away. I’d love to use her again in the future!”
About: We are a family of 4, 2 kids, 13 and 17, with a third, a short American-hair cat named Kyzya, and he’s 4 years old. We are just looking to help out some families with their kitties as well, and we only take in cats!! I’m currently working part time, about 2-3 days, so I will be able to work the rest of the days that I’m home, as well as my kiddos helping me out when I’m not able to. We will make sure your little buddies are well fed, comfortable, safe, as well as follow any other instructions you guys might give us. We also have a cat, and he’s super friendly, so we know they won’t get bored!!
About: Animals have been in my life ever since I was a baby with two goldfish. Throughout my life, I have notably had 3 cats and 1 dog. I worked in a professional pet care environment at PetSmart and even have some experience caring for farm animals. I am very familiar with various pet products, grooming, and some medications. I can generally work my schedule around any reasonable weekly routine. For house sitting I'm available for up to two weeks at a time and we can potentially negotiate for a longer stay. I have a senior cat who is a picky eater with medication and special dietary needs. This makes me good at paying attention to dietary needs. I enjoy playing with pets a lot and I pay a lot of attention to their needs. You can expect me to give your pets lots of enrichment activities.
About: I have been pet sitting for many different animals since highschool. Once I pet sat for my friends 2 rats. I never thought I would like rats until then, they seem like cool pets 😎 I have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats. I am looking to continue my pet care and house sitting business. I am mainly looking to expand clientele for overnight house sitting. I have a lot of experience in house sitting and pet care and can stay anywhere within the Pittsburgh area I want your pets to feel comfortable with me, sticking to the routines that you usually follow with them gives them a sense of familiarity and safety. I let them warm up to me, respecting their boundaries as they get to know me.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was little and have started dog-sitting and walking within the last few years. I have experience with puppies and adult dogs, ranging from highly active to moderately active. I currently do not have any pets, but I take care of my parents and sister’s dogs on a weekly basis. On specified days, I will do tasks like feeding the dogs, walking the dogs, spending time with them, and loving them! I would walk dogs on leash and avoid going close to busy roadways or high-traffic areas. I do have a fenced in area at my apartment complex, so I can adapt as needed.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I have been relied upon to care for family members, friends and neighbor pets for as long as I can remember! This is my full-time position, so I plan my daily schedule based on the needs of my clients and my own pup at home! I will work around your schedule as well. I like to care for pets in my home through crate training. I feel this makes the pet more comfortable in an unknown environment. I always follow the client's schedule and routine when caring for pets in the client's home.
About: I have several years of experience with dogs. I always have lots of attention to give to any dog I come across and know how to approach new dogs well. Like my headline says, I'm a lover of all dogs! Through putting both of my dogs through training, I learned a lot about dogs and always been an avid walker so you know your dog is getting a good walk! :) My current work schedule is daylight Monday through Friday. I always make sure my dogs or any dogs I am looking after or around has water and food and are eating and drinking normally. I always try to make sure their bowls are clean and tails wagging!

I work daylight Monday through Friday and done at 330 fridays but free a lot in the summer and evenings weekend sometimes. Happy to help when I can :) Open to having a dog or dogs stay in my home. Also open to go to their home too:) lots of cuddles and belly rubs
