Calm Companions Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

~Moving to Norwood 8/9/25~ A huge thank-you to my Pittsburgh clients! We all know our favorite family members have personalities and quirks—that's part of what we love about them! But when the time comes to find someone to stay with them, those quirks can be a source of anxiety. You want the best for them, to know they'll be safe, happy, and well-cared for. This is where I come in. Hi! I'm Maia. I've been working with and training dogs for the past two years. Before that, I helped care for my family's senior dog until he passed over the rainbow bridge. Is your dog leash-reactive? No problem. We'll work on leash manners, identify triggers, and determine the best approach. Still working on basic training? You won't return to find they've forgotten all your hard work. Health problems? Not to worry. I've given shots and pills, dealt with diapers and pee pads, and diligently followed dietary needs. Your fur baby becomes my priority from the moment they enter my care. My calm confidence will ensure their safety and comfort.

Highly recommend Maia! This was the first time leaving our pup for an extended period. Maia gave us daily updates and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying.

Maia is fantastic! She took wonderful care of our fur babies and we will absolutely have her back for our next trip. Our pets loved her and she left our house spotless! She sent pictures and updates and made us feel so much more at ease.

Maia watched my girl Birdie for about a week in February. This is the 2nd time I've used her. She's great. Birdie seems to love her. Birdie is old, has mobility issues and needs medication twice a day. Given Birdie's needs, I need someone that I can trust and Maia is that person. She is good at communicating and takes good care of my house while she's here. She leaves it clean, dishes washed, mail stacked, garbage taken out. She does not need to do any of those things but it's a lovely touch. I highly recommend hiring Maia to watch your pets.

House Sitting: At the meet-and-greet, we'll walk through your house and their schedule. I'll keep your home clean and tidy and water any houseplants needing care while you're away. I will never invite people to your house unless cleared by you.

Information Maia W. would like to know about your pet

Things I need to know: - Dietary restrictions - Medications - Other special needs - Any triggers (certain sounds, objects, situations, etc.) - What commands they know - Their typical schedule

A typical day

This entirely depends on the dog! For mental stimulation, I like to do nose work games and some basic obedience, paired with quick neighborhood walks and longer trail walks for physical exercise. And lots of cuddles, of course! We can discuss what's best for your dog at the meet and greet.

I freelance from my laptop, so my other work goes where I do. This ensures I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby and can work around their routine. I can also travel! I currently house-sit in D.C., Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.
