Pet Sitting Larimer

About: Since I was in elementary school, neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to look in on their animals while they worked long hours or went out of town. I am a nurse working in the Pittsburgh area and have a flexible schedule that I would love to fill up with more furry friends. I have experience caring for birds and rodents as well! I am a nurse working with a flexible schedule and have a lot of room to fit in a walk with your dog or some play time with your cat! I have been watching friends and family's pets for years, I am very comfortable following their routine and will be detail oriented to your instructions. Your home and pet will be safe with me!

About: I've been trusted to take care of others' pets and children since I was 12 years old. As a reliable, positive, and calm pet sitter, I will ensure your pet gets the love, care, and attention they deserve! I'm new to the area, but prior to moving, I was regularly asked to pet/house sit via word of mouth recommendations and repeat clients. Between my own dogs and cats and those I've sat for, I have experience with a variety of ages, from 8 weeks old to elderly, as well as a variety of breeds, needs, and social levels. I especially love working with puppies despite the amount of work they are; a simple repetitive routine of potty, eat, potty, play/train, potty, crate, makes a world of difference (trust me - I've learned the hard way). If you're a new puppy parent, I'd be thrilled to be a part of your pup's development! Growing up, I experienced the amazing love of three dogs and two cats (plus one hamster and countless fish) in my household. Now, as an adult, I'm a very proud dog mom to our almost-3-year-old Australian Shepherd named Ekko (short for Ekko-location Sly Rover Fantastic Bruce). We adopted him at 12 weeks old from an accidental litter, and he's added such joy and fulfillment to our lives. He might be my biggest pet resume boost. He is a wicked smart, high energy dude who requires a lot of structure and attention to thrive, and I wouldn't have it any other way. He gets daily training, puzzles, walks, crate time, scratches, and snuggles. As a full-time grad student with extra time on my hands, I would love to put that same amount of energy towards your furry friends - and if Ekko gets to benefit too by making a new friend, well that'd be the cherry on top! I'm a full-time grad student with a few evening classes a week. Outside of that, my schedule is flexible, and I'm available to care for your pet any time. I want your pet to feel calm and confident no matter where I'm caring for them. I'm always respectful of your pets routines and personality. Some pets are nonstop goofballs and some are shy and sleepy, so I give them as much space or play time as they'd like! With every service I provide, I would never make assumptions about your pet without your approval, from foods they can eat to places they can go. Trusting someone else with your pet is a big deal, and it can be nerve-wracking for your pet too! To ensure I'm a good fit for you and your pet, and in order to provide the best care possible, I will request a Meet and Greet before beginning service. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns before then!

“Tiffany was amazing! I was going away on an international trip, and had plans change where I was going longer than originally expected. I needed to find someone to drop in on Rocco on short notice, and Tiffany was able to set up a meet & greet very quickly! She was also very sweet & kind, and took great photos of Rocco while I was away :) I would definitely book again!”

“Abigail was wonderful! She was attentive, caring, and incredibly flexible with timing, and it was clear that she was genuinely dedicated to my cat’s well-being. She sent me photos of my boy while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind and made it much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. She was helpful, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care—and I’ve already booked her again for my next trip. Highly recommend!”

“Skylar is an absolute gem! From the moment we met him, it was clear he genuinely loves animals and truly cares. Rookie took to him instantly, which says a lot since he can be particular about people. Skylar is reliable, communicative, and quick to respond with questions or concerns. He treats him like his own dog. I never worry when Rookie is in Skylar's care. I can't recommend Skylar highly enough. If you want someone trustworthy, warm, and truly dedicated, he's your guy!”

Michelle K.

“Abigayle was great doing drop in visits with our dog. He is normally anxious and takes a while to warm up to new people but it didn’t take long at all with Abigayle. She is very punctual and great with communication. Your pet will be well cared for.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and don’t want to imagine a day without a fuzzy creature around! I am responsible, loving, and nurturing to animals I stay mostly around the area I live, so am available to be around when your pet needs it. I will make sure they have adequate attention and care!
