“Deeanna and Bev were absolutely incredible with our pup. They sent so many pictures and videos, and honestly can't even tell they were here. I can't recommend them enough, and so thankful to have such caring and reliable people take care of our boy when we're out of town. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!”

About: I am detail oriented and love schedules. I am punctual and will send updates and photos to your specifications. Whether your babies need crated or cuddled, I am the one for the job. I am currently not working so I am available most days and weekends. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to walk and play as well. I have a fenced in yard, lots of space for the animals to roam around freely. My dogs are both friendly and happy to meet new friends.
About: Hi there! I'm Jennifer, a passionate animal lover dedicated to providing the best care for your furry family members. With 30 years of experience in caring for my own pets as well as pet sitting and dog walking, I understand the importance of keeping your pets happy, healthy, and safe. I'm committed to creating a comfortable environment for your pets, whether it’s a fun walk in the park or some quality cuddle time at home. I take pride in my reliability and communication, ensuring you receive regular updates while you're away. Let’s connect and give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I also have experience caring for a variety of exotic animals as well please feel free to contact me with any requests! While I don't currently have any dogs of my own I currently have 10 ferrets and one kitten that are spoiled beyond all means. I have worked closely with rescues and taken in many rehomes due to the specialized care that they require. I currently make my own schedule since I perform work on an independent contractor and consultant basis so I have the availability to make almost any schedule work. I can usually accommodate requests with as little as 1 or 2 days notice due to the flexibility of my commitments. I look forward to spending time with your pets and treating them as if they are my own. I am happy to spend as much time with them as they require and look forward to minimizing the stress that unnecessary schedule changes can cause in their day to day routine.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, shy cats, and animals that require extra patience or special care. I’m comfortable with daily routines, administering medications, reinforcing training, and keeping pets active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. What makes me different is the level of care and communication I provide. I pay close attention to details, keep owners updated, and make sure every pet gets the same love, attention, and comfort they would receive at home. I'm currently working part-time, so I have time to spend with your furry family members. This allows me to reliably plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet may need. Because my hours aren’t fully booked, I can provide consistent attention, quick check-ins, and dependable care throughout the week. I enjoy using my free time to care for animals, and I make sure each pet gets the time, patience, and attention they deserve. I care for pets by focusing on their comfort, safety, and daily routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime based on their individual needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so I can provide calm, patient care whether they are energetic, shy, or senior pets needing extra support. I also keep their environment clean and comfortable, including regular litter box cleaning for cats and tidying up any messes. Most importantly, I treat every pet with kindness and respect, making sure they feel secure and cared for while their owner is away, and I keep communication open so owners can feel confident and at ease.
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with our dogs! We recently moved to the area, and needed to make a trip. My dogs were still transitioning into their new home, so I was a little nervous to leave them for a weekend so soon. Kaitlyn came for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease. The dogs responded well to her, being calm and respectful (sometimes they get too excited for guests). She asked questions to make sure she was providing the best care possible. While we were away, she sent text updates with pics, which I appreciated! Kaitlyn even made sure some packages that arrived while we were arrived made it into the house. We came home to happy dogs and the place looked great. We hope to have her back (and I bet the dogs do too!) when we need to go out of town in the future. Highly recommend!”


About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I am currently a dog groomer and am around them every single day! I I do work full time but my job is only 2 minutes away from my house. I am usually off on the weekends and have more time to spend with fur babies. I have a fenced yard and 2 sweet dogs to keep your fur baby company and play with. If you would like your dog crated, let me know!
About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy
“Kaelyn was an incredible sitter! We love our fur babies so much and were nervous when our previous sitter fell through, but Kaelyn was available, professional and made us feel so comfortable. She did a fantastic job taking care of our animals and house sitting despite it being in partial renovations. She is reliable, caring and sent lots of pictures and updates. Thank you for taking care of our babies!”

“Karie was awesome! She took the time to make a trip over to meet our dogs before her first stay, which was so appreciated. She sent us pictures during her stay and kept us in the loop. Great communication. I know my dogs enjoyed her stay and were looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

About: Passionate dog enthusiast dedicated to spreading joy, one wagging tail at a time. With a heart full of love and a lifetime of canine companionship, I cherish every moment spent in the company of our loyal four-legged friends. Whether it's long walks in the park, cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, or simply sharing a moment of laughter and play, I'm committed to providing the happiest, healthiest, and most enriching experiences for dogs everywhere. Let's embark on this journey of unconditional love and boundless friendship together! I am currently free for any time/schedule at the moment! This may change in the future but I’ll be sure to let you know if it does I have 4 AussieDoodles and an Umbrella Cockatoo, so there is no shortage of company for your pet in my home! All of my pets are super friendly with other pets!

About: I got my first dog, Buster, when I was a year old and he was my absolute best friend for 14 years. I've taken care of dogs, as well as many other different species of animals, for nearly my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bath their furry family members while going on vacations, weekend getaways, or just working long hours. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies and was an extremely active member of my county's 4-H program. I worked in veterinary medicine for several years before branching out on my own. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat! I am the proud owner of Goofy Goldie Caravan, based out of Barnesville, Ohio. I travel to pet parents in the area for basic pet care needs. My services include nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleanings, walks/exercises, and drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard with 4 friendly dogs to keep everyone busy. I'm experienced in crate training and leash training and will be able to keep your pet safe at all costs.

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.
“Alicia was fabulous! She took such wonderful care of my dog and my home while I was away! She sent lots of pics and videos! I will have her into my home again soon! She is so kind and compassionate!”
