Dog Sitting Latrobe

“First and foremost, it was clear from the time of the meet & greet that Natasha really loves cats, both in things she talked about and how she reacted when they peeked out and showed their faces. That was a really important thing for us. Her communication was great from the initial contact, even confirming the meet & greet about an hour ahead of time, and that continued during our time out of town. She asked conscientious questions about things we might or might not want her to do (both with the cats and in general with the house). She included some detail in the Rover Report Card each day so we knew how the cats were doing, whether they were interacting with her, etc. And we got daily photos, even if/when they stayed in hiding. That gave us a great sense of comfort to see their faces each day---like most people, we're very attached. With other places (including a boarding facility), we haven't gotten daily pics, and it really made a world of difference that we did. We're very happy with everything and would absolutely have Natasha check on the girls when we're out of town again.”

About: I have extensive experience with a wide variety of dog breeds. I have been a veterinary technician for 9 years. I also foster for a local rescue and have pets of my own. Dogs all have unique temperaments and personalities which is what makes caring for them so much fun! I am currently employed, but looking for a change of pace. I will never accept a job for care that would conflict with my schedule. Your pets are the priority for me. Keeping your pet on a routine as close to the one you have for them is my ultimate goal. It can be stressful for them and for you to be apart. The more stability I can provide, the happier they will be.

“Fantastic as always!”

About: Hi! I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up babysitting tons of puppies and adult dogs. I also have a so much love for them and they make me so happy. I have lots of experience with small dogs! I have a house with an enclosed big backyard as well! I will never be leaving them at home and will cuddle and be able to play with them 24/7. I currently am a student and I don’t have classes everyday or another full time job! I have a lot of time to give to these dogs. I make sure the dog is comfortable and safe. My number one priority is having them be as relaxed as possible and enjoy their day! I will always be at home which allows for regular potty breaks and a fenced in backyard as well to maximize their playing time. I have tons of experience with puppies as well!

“Savannah does a great job with my dog! He loves her! Highly recommend!”

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.

About: 🐶 Having been surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for their care. Growing up with dogs and raising my own, Harlow 🐾, from a puppy, has given me firsthand experience in fostering their well-being. My passion for animals extends beyond personal experience—participation in clubs at the Pittsburgh Zoo 🦁 provided me with valuable insights into animal behavior and care, further enhancing my knowledge. Being from Pittsburgh, I am fluent with many resources for me to enjoy with pets. 🐕‍🦺 My pet care journey started in 2014 with my first job at a dog care store on Butler Street, where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. During my internship with the Water Authority in Bradford, PA, I dedicated my lunch breaks to volunteering at the local SPCA 🏠, offering love and attention to animals in need. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated, knowledgeable, and empathetic sitter. 💛 As an alumni M.S. engineering student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for my pets. I can easily fit dog walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine, ensuring each pet gets the attention it deserves. My love for animals and adaptable schedule make it easy to prioritize their well-being. I currently care for two dogs, my mother's and her boyfriend's, and have hands-on experience managing their daily needs. At home, I ensure a safe environment with our fenced-in yard and always prioritize the pets' well-being. For my clients' pets, I’m adaptable to their specific routines, whether that involves feeding, walks, playtime, or creating a comfortable space. Every pet in my care receives love and attention tailored to their unique needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats in all stages of life. I grew up with dogs in the home and cats around my grandparents' farm. I currently have 2 dogs, one 5 years old and the other 13 years old, as well as a 2 year old cat. All of my animals have been rescues. I have always loved spending time around animals, as they touch a special place in my soul. I currently work full time as a preschool teacher, but I am looking to keep myself busy on the weekends as well as a couple nights a week. Feeding & Hydration I’ll follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule, ensuring they get the proper portion sizes and nutrition. Fresh water will always be available to keep them hydrated. Exercise & Playtime Whether it’s a daily walk for your dog or interactive playtime for your cat, I make sure to engage in activities that will help keep your pets active and entertained. I can also tailor these activities based on their energy levels and preferences. Comfort & Companionship Pets thrive on companionship, so I’ll spend quality time with them. I can offer cuddles, gentle grooming, or just sit with them to make them feel safe and loved. I’ll also ensure they have a comfortable resting place. Maintaining Routine & Security I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so I’ll keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. I’ll also keep your home secure, following any instructions you’ve provided about gates, doors, or safety protocols. Communication with You I know you’ll want to stay updated on your pet’s well-being, so I will send you regular updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how they’re doing.

About: Since I was a child, people would bring strays or unbalanced animals to our house who would suddenly be calm and comfortable in my care. I spent a lot of time in nature and wild animals would often follow me home. I now have my Masters of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis and wrote an original thesis on clicker training for service dogs. I am on the Board and a trainer for Hero Puppies for Life where we train service dogs for heroes with PTSD. We use positive reinforcement and are focused around relational bond training. This sets the dogs up for success to support their humans. We also teach their humans how to understand their dog's instincts and communication. I am quite passionate about it. :) Leo is my 7 year old black lab and personal service dog so your fur family will have free socialization and canine therapy in addition to my human care. He has worked with me extensively as a focal point in my approach to providing applied behavior analysis therapy to children and dogs. I trust our working relationship more than anyone on two legs. ;) Please feel free to ask me any questions about this dynamic! I am currently a full time student in an online, fully remote, tech program so I am very flexible when it comes to location, time of day, and duration for care. From the time I was in college, I always loved pet and house sitting. Opportunities for a change of scenery, in a fresh space, and caring for fur friends is always a treat. The care completely depends on the needs of the animals and home. I have administered meds, cared for young and old pets, implemented training, embraced snuggles, and fulfilled food orders that make meals look like a sundae.

About: Having had the joy of loving, training, and caring for two wonderful dogs, and losing them both to old age, I deeply miss having a dog in my life. While I’m not financially able to provide for another dog at this time, I would love the opportunity to care for others' pets. Caring for dogs would not only help me earn additional income but also fill my life with the companionship and joy they bring, even if it's just temporary—whether for a day, a week, or longer. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing, walking, grooming, or simply loving them. With a strong moral code and work ethic, you can rest assured that your beloved pet will be well cared for, and I’ll ensure they have as much fun as if they were on vacation! I work from home, so I am available 24/7 to tend to the need of your pet! I have weekend obligations that will take me out of the house, but never longer that a few hours at a time. Your dog will be treated like family while in my care. My entire downstairs is open to them. I am hoping your pet will want to hang out with me:) I have a large yard , with a portion of it fenced off to create safety for your pet when off leash. If your dog fancies a walk, I live close to a park that is ideal for a casual stroll, or an invigorating walk for for exercise. I am more than willing to send pictures and or short videos of your pet if you wish, so you can feel connected while you are away.
