“Caroline took care of our golden retriever for our weeklong vacation. She was always on time, sent photos at each drop in, and shared updates. We'll definitely call on Caroline again for our next vacation!”


“Jen B. is the purrfect pet sitter. We were on an 8-day cruise and didn’t worry about our three kitties at all knowing Jen was taking care of them. She gave our sassy senior, Kate, her thyroid meds which was a huge relief. She was very patient with our other two scaredy cats. We highly recommend Jen. She’s pawesome!”


“We left our cat in Robin’s care for a 2.5 week vacation. She had never been left that long. Robin did an amazing job keeping Journey company and making her feel loved. Couldn’t have asked for more pictures or updates. Robin was awesome!”

“Susan was amazing! She was on time, gave us updates and took great care of our pup even sending pictures. I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”


“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was away. She sent consistent updates and photos as well as notes of what she did each visit. Thanks Rachel!”


“Dan and Stephanie took excellent care of my three kitties! They sent detailed photos and videos that made me feel so at ease about being away! My house is spotless and my cats are happy and well! I highly recommend Dan and Stephanie!”



“I’m giving Markie five stars because Rufus‘s instructions were followed just fine. The only problem I had is that on Saturday we asked for his visit to be from 5 to 530 and she showed up at 5:30. Then on Sunday we asked for 9 to 930 and she showed up at 20 after nine. I don’t like the thought of my cat wondering where his food is. He has all the kibble he needs so it wasn’t as if he were starving, but being on time is very important to me and it was when I was a sitter. I really do appreciate Markie’s care of our cat. It was just a little delayed. Again, though, five stars and a tip.”


About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I was lucky to have my own dog for 15 wonderful years, and through that experience, I’ve learned the ins and outs of daily care, training, and providing a loving, safe environment. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or sticking to a pup’s routine, I treat every dog like family. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, and I’m here to offer dependable, attentive care when you need it most. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have full availability to dedicate to your pet’s care. I’m home and flexible 24/7, so I can easily accommodate your dog’s schedule—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is a rewarding and natural part of my daily routine right now. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs—whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, medications, or just extra cuddles. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep everything clean and consistent for your pet. In my home, pets get a calm, cozy environment where they’re treated like family. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond to their needs and help them feel secure and loved.

“Marisa was wonderful! She was great with providing pictures and details for her stops with our dog. This is our first time using a drop in sitter versus a boarding facility and will be sure to use her in the future! We have a crazy lab and she loves Marisa! Thanks for everything!”


About: I’ve been passionate about training and caring for dogs since I was five years old, learning the basics from my dad back in South Africa. And before moving to Pittsburgh a few months ago, I worked closely under a professional dog trainer, which helped me deepen my understanding of dog behavior and training techniques. I’ve also gained valuable hands-on experience working at Nemacolin (Pet Boarding) Wooflands, caring for both dogs and cats with the utmost attention and compassion. I’m skilled at communicating with dogs of all personalities and have always had multiple dogs and cats in my home, giving me hands on experience with pets of different breeds and temperaments. I bring patience, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. My schedule is thoughtfully managed to ensure I can offer focused, compassionate care for your pet. I’m dedicated to being reliable and attentive, providing a nurturing environment where your pet can thrive. When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on preserving the little things that make their routine special. Whether it’s their favorite walk route, playtime style, or quiet moments they enjoy. I tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs, providing everything from feeding to companionship with thoughtful attention. I also respect your home fully, and follow your instructions carefully, so your pet feels genuinely safe, comfortable.


“Sarah was a wonderful cat sitter and a giant help for me and mom’s kitty! She was extremely professional in our pre-meet, asking questions I’d not thought of about how to properly care for my mom’s cat and house. I also had changes in plans a few times and asked Sarah to do some other things beyond cat care in the house, and she happily agreed. She even took care of a little “present” that the cat left in the house! I’ll be calling Sarah again for sure, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, responsible and very communicative pet sitter who goes above and beyond to make you and your little ones feel at ease. Thank you Sarah!!”


About: I have professional experience working with various types of animal through previous workplaces. Both employers and pet owners have found me thorough and reliable when it comes to caring for animals In need. As a pet owner myself, I care for my animals daily. Given that, I have extensive experience in animal care. I make sure to care for animals within a warm, understanding and gentle approach I have administered medication (specifically insulin injections for a diabetic pup.), aswell as administering pills, antibiotics, ear drops for infections, and allergy medications. I am willing to meet the medical needs of your pet. I also have experience walking and feeding dogs. I am able to walk dogs of all sizes. For larger dogs however, they would need to be well-trained on a leash to ensure both the safety of your dog and myself.For cats, I have experience feeding and cleaning up litter boxes. For small animals, I am able to feed and care for guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, gerbil, Bunnies etc. as long as im given clear instruction. Feel free to message me with any questions in regards to my willingness and abilities!

“We have had Liz watch out boy a few times now and we love her! She is great with our cat and sends excellent updates. She is a pro at giving meds and has cleaned up some accidents as well. We cannot recommend her enough!”


“Madison has been great with all 4 of our cats (2 groups still learning to coexist in the same house). She is prompt, trustworthy, follows directions, and our cats love to see her every time!”


About: I’ve been around many animals since I was a child, but have taken care of my own dogs for around 10 years now. I have a lot of energy to play and engage with your pets, but also a lot of love to give too! I have two dogs of my own that are 5 and 11, so I’m very used to being around different aged pets. I love being outside and being mobile throughout the day, so walks and drop-ins won’t be a problem. I do not currently work, but I do attend college. The good news is that I have plenty of free time for pet sitting since my classes are online! I am available all week and can even drop in on weekends too if needed. Late mornings, afternoons, and evenings work best for me. I would consider myself a very dependable, loyal, affectionate, and trustworthy pet owner/sitter. I can easily give your pups the exercise and love they deserve, as well as follow any specific instructions that are part of your pet’s normal routine. I love playing with dogs, practicing commands, rewarding with treats, and spending time cuddling with them. I want every one of my clients to have peace of mind when I come in their homes to care for their pets.

Whether it’s big dogs, small dogs, or anything in between, she truly loves them all and has a natural way of connecting with them. She also is fit and enjoys working and going on walks (she would enjoy it even more with a canine companion). Any dog would be lucky to have her looking after them!”

She’s always on time and loves to hang out with them and play which they love. Abbigail loves to send pics for updates and is also super efficient with questions to make sure she knows exactly what to do. We never worry when we’re away since we know that Abbigail is there🐾🐾”
