About: Hello! I'm Wendi. I'm a medical lab tech and retired firefighter/EMT. I am also a Pet CPR/First Aid Instructor. Prior to my careers, I worked at a private boarding kennel for 2.5 years. I have had multiple dog and cat companions over the years. I have a background in biology and medicine. Experience with large, small, young, and old. Multiple pet house holds are welcome. Experience providing medication including insulin injections. Special Needs pets are my specialty. I love spending time with dogs. It keeps me sane. Plus I always have healthy treats! We can play hard or just chill on the couch. Let me know how I can help you out and take away some stress while you're at work or away on vacation. I know that your pets are family and I will treat them like my own. I'm even happy to provide video chat if you really miss your baby! Experience with cats and exotic animals. I'm a weightlifter and Strongwoman competitor so large, strong dogs are not an issue. I work full time in a hospital on a rotating schedule (afternoons and midnights). Please keep that in mind if your pets can’t be left alone for 8-10 hours. Message me and we'll see what works with our schedules. Safety is of the utmost importance in your home. We'll always be leashed up on walks. If you have a fenced in yard I will keep a watchful eye over your companion.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I have one dog named Zeus who is like a child to me and one cat named Tito who I also adore! Sometimes I think I like animals more than people😂. Animals always love me and I always treat them like my own:)) I currently do not work so my schedule is always open no matter what time or day of the week! I’m free almost all the time:)) I have an open yard with a long chain I use for potty breaks or outdoor play time! We also have many neighbor dogs who love to make new friends! All of my neighbor dogs play together and get along great with my dog.

About: Hi! I’m Marisa 🐾 I’ve been professionally working with animals since 2017 and officially began building my own client base in 2024 after years of kennel management and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Animals have always been my passion, and I truly love what I do. Pet care is not just a side hobby for me...this is my full-time career and business. My clients never have to worry about pet care being pushed aside for another job, changing schedules, or limited availability. Before going fully independent, I spent years managing a busy dog kennel where I worked with everything from puppies to seniors, shy rescues, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, strong pullers, medical cases, and large playgroups. That experience taught me how important patience, structure, safety, and understanding body language truly are. One of the things I’m most proud of is my ability to build trust with dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding. Some pets warm up immediately, while others need calm energy, consistency, and time and I genuinely enjoy building those relationships. I provide: 🐾 Drop-in visits 🐾 Dog walks 🐾 Overnight care 🐾 Limited boarding 🐾 Medication administration 🐾 Lots of updates, photos & communication Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, triggers, comfort levels, and individual needs so they can feel as safe and relaxed as possible while you’re away. A little extra about me 😊 • Fully insured • LLC registered business • Available on holidays • Flexible schedule • Experienced with multi-pet households • Experienced with anxious/reactive dogs • Proudly serving Canonsburg & surrounding areas I genuinely believe animals can sense good people and calm energy and nothing makes me happier than seeing pets excited to see me walk through the door. I'm happy to say since becoming so busy caring for animals I was able to quit my other job and am now available every day of the week. However I do have regular dogs clients that I walk daily so if I am doing an overnight stay I will have other daily drop in visits through out the day/evening. If you need someone to stay with your dog 24/7 I am not the best match. I AM AVAILABLE ON HOLIDAYS! THIS IS MY FULLTIME JOB!! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs before our visits begin. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk, I maintain a calm and controlled environment, always keeping their emotional and physical safety in mind. I closely monitor interactions, use secure leashes and harnesses, and follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medication, or preferred walking routes. I never leave pets unattended and always keep a close eye on their body language to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I also send frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll always feel confident and informed while you're away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats when younger and a bit recently. Friends and neighbors have used me to check in on their pets and taken care of them. I have had cats for 12 years and currently have two 3 year old cats! Currently open for any/all bookings and have plenty of time for caring and loving for your pets. I am not very busy so even if you need last minute bookings I will most likely be available to care for your pet. Will be very patient with your animal and make sure that they are as comfortable as they can be. Should not have issues with watching or walking your pet and am open to any lengths of walks. Will be willing to do long walks if that’s what your animal loves!

About: I went to a vet tech program in high school which made me familiar with disabilities and health issues in pets. I have trained both my medium/large dogs and even one of my cats. I am comfortable with animals of any size or shape. I have also raised three happy independent kittens from when they were only just about a month old. I am currently working on getting a job as an EMT and applying to colleges, Currently I am available weekdays after 3 pm and weekends after 12:00 pm(this is flexible and I would be willing to stretch earlier in the day if needed but it is a general guideline). My availability once I get a job at an ambulance company may change but it should not be anything too significant. I can come over for up to a few hours a day to spend time with/ feed any animals in the household, I unfortunately can not stay overnight due to my own cat at home but would be willing to come over earlier in the morning and stay all day if necessary. If walking a dog we will discuss and plan a route, or discuss how long the walks should be for me to walk beforehand.

“Excellent - personable, reliable and caring. Will repeat”

“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

“Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!”

I’ll always keep an eye and care for your pet when I visit/walk/feed them.

“Chris walked our dogs while we were out of town, and my mother in law was watching them. He was super communicative with me and patient with her. I was anxious about leaving my dogs, but Chris really eased a lot of my anxiety! My male shepherd can be reactive with strangers, especially men, and Chris was calm, patient, and understanding with gaining Remi’s trust. If you need someone who is great with dogs, I can’t recommend Chris enough!”

About: I want to alert anyone who wants to book- we have 3 dogs with varying energy levels. My name is Emme I have had a dog experience since we got my dog bell as a puppy. Since then I have rescued senior dogs with lots of complex needs. I am familair with giving shots and medications. I currently have three dogs one we recently rescued who is absolutely afraid of human touch. I am completely aware of dogs boundaries and will do what they need of me. Currently it is just me-Emme for dog walking , drop in visits, and house sitting I currently am day to day substitute teaching. However, my mom is always home as she works from home. I am still working on getting my masters degree so there will still be times I am home more than not. I am very aware of dogs and their individual needs and personalities. I allow lots of time outside to sniff and go potty. I spend time talking to them and engaging with them in ways that they enjoy like play, snuggling, or just simply sitting in the same room crocheting next to them.

About: With a lifelong experience growing up in a dog and cat household, I have cared for pets, including a diabetic one, ensuring they receive their special diet and medication with precision. My keen attention to detail and understanding of animal guidelines guarantee good care. Having assisted in caring for numerous dogs and cats, I bring valuable professional experience to the table. What sets me apart is my online college schedule, enabling me to dedicate more time and attention to your beloved pets compared to other sitters. Trust me to provide top-notch care for your animals while you're away. With online school schedule and a part time job, my schedule is not very busy. Allowing me to offer dedicated and professional pet care services. Caring for pets is part of my personal daily life. Pet care is ingrained in my daily life. With a fenced yard and other dogs, I ensure a safe environment. I wake up early to provide attentive care for dogs and cats without the day.

About: I have been trusted to care for family, friends, and neighbors pets for years! I've managed all aspects of care for a variety of animals and have successfully handled the supervision of young to old pets. I’m equipped to handle pets with any temperament. I’m calm and patient with animals and my top priorities are their health, safety, and comfort! I have a flexible job that allows me to make my own schedule, so I can fit pet care in whenever you may need me! I care for pets in clients homes by coming in with a sense of respect as a guest in their home, and following the usual routine families have for their pets.

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
