Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Mount Washington, Pittsburgh, PA

“Sadie is a wonderful pup sitter! She's been checking in on my 2 pupps for dinner and potty time every weekend for a few months. The dogs are happy, and excited when I say her name before I leave for work. Directions are always carried out thoroughly, and communication about health concerns and pet behavior are always top notch. Sadie always does the best anyone could with Pittsburgh weather and thunder/rain averse dogs and gives great updates about her time in my home. The dogs are happy, im happy. I highly recommend her services 😊”

“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”

“Meghan has been seeing my puppy, Indie for a few weeks now, and she is really great with her!! She plays with her the whole time and the Rover report cards are always super thorough! It is great to have someone so thoughtful looking after your pup!”

“Cori was super responsive on short notice, generous with her time/updates, and snuggled our big cat like he was her own! Thanks so much for taking care of him while we were away!!”

Mary Allison C.

“Natalie is wonderful! Have to use her often for business travel which is random and sometimes very last minute due to projects. She is very reliable! Don’t steal her time please, I need her! Lol”

Kim D.

“Kathleen was great. We needed a short-notice stop in so we could attend to a family emergency and she was quick to reply and take the weight of cat care off our minds. She came right on time and sent plenty of pictures of the cats, plus one of their food bowls so we knew they were well fed.”

Aj S.

“Lauren is an amazing sitter! She dropped in on our pup for 5 days and took great care of her as well as keeping her company with snuggles and her toys! She was on time every day and followed all instructions we left for her. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone!”

Claire S.

“Our two older cats were so well cared for by Lara. One of our cats requires meds twice a day and she was able to keep him on his med routine the entire time we were away, which was really impressive. Our home was clean when we got home - litter boxes tidy and everything in place. We're really happy with the care provided and absolutely would book her again to care for our boys! Thank you Lara!”

Liana B.

“Kristen was amazing: she was reachable, and very easy to work with. When my dog Petey was anxious and scared, she was patient with him and very calm. She was able to contact me with photos and updates throughout her drop in visit, and was very professional. Thanks for being so understanding Kristen!”

Joyous D.

“Brittany was great. Accepted last minute, helped us out in a pinch, and treated the cats really well! We'll definitely book her again in the future.”

Matt M.

“Lauren was great with my pups! Appreciated the communication and updates she shared. Will book again!”

“Kayla has been absolutely amazing. After a poor experience before with friends watching our fur babies, she provides us the reassurance we needed. She always sent pictures, provided constant messages that the fur babies were ok, and no task was too much. Our cats are iffy with strangers and instantly loved her. Saying thank you is not enough.”

Whether it’s caring for playful puppies who need training and structure or providing gentle support for senior pets, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with administering medication, maintaining exercise routines, and understanding different pet behaviors. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in caring and capable hands! As someone who works from home and has my own dog, pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a routine that meets their needs, whether it’s exercise, feeding schedules, or simply offering comfort and attention. Having my own dog has also given me firsthand experience in training, socialization, and understanding different pet personalities. Living in the heart of downtown, surrounded by many parks, I provide a stimulating and engaging environment for pets in my care. Whether in my apartment or a client’s home, I prioritize regular walks, playtime, and companionship to ensure pets feel happy and comfortable. For pets staying with me, I offer a cozy, safe space with plenty of exercise opportunities at nearby parks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their usual routines, providing feeding, walks, and plenty of affection to help them feel secure while their owners are away.

About: Welcome! My name is Jeni, and I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with dogs of all ages — from wiggly puppies to wise senior pups. I love every single dog I meet, and The Burgh Wag Club is my way of using that passion to help our Pittsburgh community. Every walk and check-in is done with care, attention, and patience. I provide regular updates and plenty of photos so you can feel confident your pup is happy and safe. If your dog has special needs, just let me know — I’ll make sure they get the personalized care they deserve. Because here, every dog is family. I work a half remote job, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet sitting and dog walking into my daily routine. Most days, I’m able to arrange my work hours around your pet’s needs whether that means midday walks, morning potty breaks, or evening visits. This flexibility ensures your pet gets consistent, reliable care without long waits between visits. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I believe in creating a calm, happy, and reassuring environment for every dog in my care, whether we’re walking through the neighborhood or simply hanging out together at home. I’m attentive to their body language, pace, and needs, ensuring they always feel safe and understood. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same love and respect I give my own, with their safety and comfort at the heart of every interaction.

“We love Chelsea. She always takes great care of our senior dachshund and sends us updates, which is so appreciated. Could not recommend her more highly!”

About: I've always had at least one animal by my side ever since I was an infant. My direct pet care experience includes dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, and fish. (Oh! I also would like to add two honorable mentions.. the toads and frogs I often see around my home. Although, there is no direct care, I like to think I have a relationship with each of them.) I currently have a family Golden Retriever named Sasha. We call her Sushie and Sashimi for short :) I've also have had the gift of being around friends' and families' animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, rats, cats, and dogs. Also, I used to volunteer at Animal Friends, which is now called Heal Animal Rescue. It was a great experience being able to care for dogs that didn't have a permanent home or company. Some of the care I gave included cleaning their kennels to ensure that each dog had a healthy environment to live in, exercising with them, ensuring they had fresh food and water, and simply offering them company, especially since their visitors may have been sparse outside of us volunteers and staff. Animals are God's precious creatures. Each and every one is beautiful and created by God. I believe that we have been given the opportunity to steward them well and with love. Thus, it would be an honor and privilege to take care of your precious loved one. My work schedule is partly remote, so I can be available on certain week days during standard 8:30-4 PM work hours. My remote days are currently Mondays and will include Tuesdays in the near future. In the evenings and weekends, I can be free too with notice! To ensure the safety of everyone, I request a walk-through of items and places I'd be using at your home prior to care. This may include showing me important things like, how your pet gate opens and closes, how your front door locks, how to administer certain medicine, etc. I appreciate any and all information about the pet and home so that we can all have a lovely experience :)

About: I've been caring for dogs since childhood and have always had a dog as an adult. I currently have 2 dogs and the help of the whole family, especially our animal loving and training daughter (I lead all care and activity). Whether it be puppyhood, senior care, or medical issues including special diets and medication, I'm comfortable with a wide range of individualized instructions. I am centrally located in Mt. Washington with the benefits of a fenced-in back yard, a dog park and hiking trails within blocks. Additionally, I take walks every day and our guests are promised to have plenty of opportunities to play and receive attention. I love dogs! Pet care is a part of life each and every day. Times of day are insignificant as pet care happens very early, late at night, and all the time in between as needed. haIve a fenced in yard, comfy cushions (and couches although less preferred), and a crate available if that's requested. Dogs are walked daily with one walk somewhere from 1-5 miles and given endless opportunities to play (and learn). I can bathe dogs as well but shy away from grooming. My dogs are fed 2-3 times daily with treats when appropriate; no people food. I personalize all care based on needs and requests.

“Jeaninne did a great job checking in our dog while w had a long day away. Would happily use again!”

“Sara looked after my boy, Hugo, for 4 days and gave him great attention! She’s very communicative and takes great pics to send to you. Definitely will rebook and I recommend her for taking care of your fur friend.”
