Dog Sitting in Millvale

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Ranging from high energy boxers to labs, indoor and outdoor, you name it. I unfortunately don’t now because of living in the city and no pet policies. I’ve cat and dog sat for friends, family, and even professors in college, and now I want to officially! I love seeing funny requests like ‘needs a gourmet meal prepared (theatrics of course but I’d cook lol) or they won’t eat.’ Big fan of the cheese tax, because me too, and cats who are bread bakers. I love pets of any kind and size (even big dogs, snakes, etc) right when I meet them. I can be patient if they’re not a fan at first! I’d love to be able to help others and animals who have working parents, or even parents who just want to have fun and need some help. My daily and weekly schedule are pretty flexible! I work from home most days aside from Sunday really. I tend to have gaps during the day and work mostly in the afternoon and evening! I do live in the city and don’t mind boarding pets but I also want them to have space to roam so I rather come to you! I’m more than happy to take pets outside, to parks, on walks, or play. I know a lot of pets like consistency so I can prioritize working with you to find a set schedule.

“Maryanne is very communicative and super kind with our dogs! We are looking forward to booking with her again.”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued a 6 year old white Labrador named “Zorro” who we brought before Covid began. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I’m currently very flexible with my schedule until June 15th as I recently relocated to Pittsburgh to start my residency training. I will be able to work around a time and a schedule post June and will be open to taking care of your pet as per your need and happy to coordinate a schedule with you with my availability. I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.

“Rachel was a great help when I had to spontaneously leave town for a family thing. She was quick to respond and understanding of the fact that we couldn't meet in person! She took good care of my kitties while I was away. I definitely recommend you work with her if you ever need pet-caring help!”

“Haley was very accommodating-came by before we left to get keys & meet our geriatric cat. It’s obvious she loves pets & is very conscientious. Next time we head out of town we’ll have her take care of the dog as well as the cat!”

“Nikki was a life saver! I had a family emergency which required a next day booking and she made herself available. Even my shy girl Annie warmed up to her. Nikki was very amenable to several changes in schedule with no problems. She will be the first we call the next time a sitter is needed and I know Annie and Blu look forward to seeing her again!”

“Cara was great with our two dogs! We had an issue with our one dog not wanting to eat while we were away. Cara did everything possible to help her! She gained her trust and not only the dog started eating but she was playing and talking treats from Cara. She sent us a ton of pictures and updates all the time. Thank you Cara!”

They’ll be excited to see you next time!”

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.

“Mark was quick to get back to me after the initial inquiry. We set up a time to meet the day before the first visit to go over everything and he gave updates throughout the booking.”
