About: Hi! My name is Gianna, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m currently an aspiring veterinary student at Saint Francis University, where I’ve had the opportunity to shadow several veterinarians and learn firsthand what it means to care for animals with compassion and skill. While at SFU, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Most of my pet-sitting experience comes from caring for my own family’s dogs and cats, but I’m excited to branch out and help other pet owners, too! As a college athlete, I’m used to staying active—and strong enough to handle even the most enthusiastic big dogs on walks. I’m also no stranger to the less glamorous parts of pet care (yes, poop and pee clean-up included!). Above all, I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that you do. I know how important they are, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time at Dairy Queen. I get my schedule around 4 days before the next week. So my availability will depend on my work schedule that week which I can update ASAP to when my manager makes the new schedule! * I go back to college August 24th so I can’t take anymore bookings after that weekend. I will be home on breaks so If you need me please reach out! * When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety , comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that each animal has a different personality so some may need more of a specific thing rather than another. I follow instructions given to me by the owners very carefully. Whether that is a feeding time, medication, walks, or going outside to the bathroom. I am very organized so being in your home, I will keep it neat. I love to send pictures to the owners because as an owner I would enjoy seeing mine.

About: Along with having 3 English bulldogs of my own, I’ve cared for other people’s pets for over 10 years. I’m comfortable with any breed and type, from large to small! My dogs are family, and I will treat yours as one of my own. Giving them all the care and attention that our fur children require! I work a full time job, but have flexibility during the work days, and after 5pm work hours. I’m also available all weekend for drop ins or walking! Caring for your animal in the comfort of your home is my specialty, and making sure they’re comfortable and tended to is what I do best! Potty breaks, walks, crating, and more.

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, intuition, and grounded presence to every animal I care for. My background in law enforcement, behavioral observation, and trauma-informed support makes me especially skilled with animals who are anxious, reactive, or sensitive. I’ve worked with everything from puppies to senior pets, high-energy working breeds to misunderstood rescues, and multi-pet households that require structure and reliability. I’m confident with medication administration, basic training follow-through, and reading body language to prevent issues before they start. What sets me apart? 🐾 Veteran-level experience—not a hobbyist or casual sitter 🐾 Criminal justice & security background—you can trust your home and animals are safe 🐾 Farm-capable—comfortable caring for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more 🐾 Trauma-aware—I understand how to approach fearful or reactive animals with calm authority 🐾 Energetically grounded—I leave your pets emotionally balanced, not just fed Whether you're gone for a day or several weeks, I ensure your animals are cared for with the same diligence and loyalty I give my own. Additional Animal & Farm Care Pricing Have animals that aren’t listed on Rover? No problem—I also care for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old! I have always had a love for being around animals. I am a college student, so currently my summer is mostly free! I have a good amount of availability at any time of the week. I have a fenced in yard so both of my dogs can run free, yet stay safe! Both of my cats spend their time indoors.

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old, more specifically in the past 5 years. I have one dog (German Shepherd) and two rescue cats that I care for. I’m open to all breeds and sizes of both dogs and cats and will ensure they are healthy and safe while in my care! I am a current college student in Louisiana, but I live in North Huntingdon area during school breaks. I work part time currently and my schedule is pretty much open to be with your pups! I have a fenced in yard and another dog (German Shepherd) to keep your pup company, but must meet prior just to be sure they get along!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds since I was young! I have always lived in a dog household, with Pittbulls, Chihuahuas, Mastiffs, and more! Beyond that, I have pet sat for family, friends, and professors whenever I had free time! Let me show your pets the love and attention they deserve! I am at an in-between phase in my life right now, so my schedule is fairly wide open! I can accommodate most any needs in my routine. I am very punctual and observant and will watch your pets like they are my own. I will take any precautions you ask and will be over-attentive to their needs!

About: Hello! I’m Anjel. I have had dogs my entire life of all sizes and breeds and most definitely a dog person (Don’t worry cats, I love you too). I understand the hardships of raising a well-rounded pup and I’m here to help! Patience is always key with any pet. Besides having dogs my entire life, I also previously worked at a Doggie Daycare & boarding facility and have house sitting/pet sitting clients that have been with me from the start of my pet sitting career starting 18 years ago. I enjoy all puppies whether they are large or small, young or old. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and do not turn away any breed. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, insulin (as well as testing before meals), and preparing meals for EPI dogs. I look forward to connecting with you! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns! I do prefer to stay within a 7 mile radius of my location, an additional fee $5 per visit/day will be added for those bookings greater than a 7 mile radius. I have open availability on the weekends and flexibility during the week. I currently work in Allegheny county right off of Rt. 51 so I am able to travel to all areas with ease. I am typically scheduled 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday but experience cancellations throughout the week where I’m typically home before 4pm. Leaving my morning availability open, possibility for mid day potty breaks when I experience cancellations, and my afternoon/evening open for walks, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting duties. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I like to stick to the pet’s routine to avoid any changes in their typical schedule. I take extra precautions when it comes to open doors, ensuring they are correctly and safely in their crate when applicable, and accompanying them when outside for potty breaks. Safety is my number one priority as I know it would be devastating if any accidents were to happen and I am proactive in covering all the bases to ensure that they do not.

About: From a child I had a family pet for which I was responsible and several friends had me care for their furry friends when they were away from time to time.

About: My animals have always been treated like a member of the family, and are even more spoiled than myself. I will always treat your pet like my own!

Having a high energy breed myself, I am always striving to make my day fit around my dog. I will meet the needs of your pet based on their energy level and their health.
