“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”


“Brittani has been absolutely amazing! I asked her to come have a visit with our pup so she could meet him and she was kind enough to fit us her schedule. She has always been so responsive and timely, something I really appreciate while I’m away at work. Her daily pictures are awesome! I now have these amazing portraits of our dog I can show off. We love Brittani !”


About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and even had a ferret at one point. I am a dog walker and cat and dog sitter (or cat walker if you would like!). Some of my current clients have been with me for 5 years. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I can drop in after 3 on most days since I am a student and weekends I am more flexible so I can work around your needs. I have a closed yard for my German Shepard and my cat is strictly an indoor cat. We use a mixture of dry and wet food for both animals and have frequent potty breaks for the dog.

“Carol was amazing! She was able to walk my dog on short notice. Carol was kind and helpful and my dog loved her. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Carol!”



About: Hi! We're Nikki and Stefano. We've both had dogs in our homes as long as we can remember and won't ever have it any other way. We've had dogs ranging from toy chihuahuas to heelers to our current pups, a Great Pyreneese/lab and an Australian Shephard/Red Heeler. So any dog size or breed is fine with us. We love spending time with animals and we would love to get a chance to meet new dog friends and give them the same love and attention we give to our own pups while also meeting and learning more about each different breed and their personalities. My wife works from home and i work in the office 3 days out of the week, so we are 100% flexible with our days to watch, walk, or play with your pups. I work in the office Tuesdays through Thursdays. My wife works from home and is available to watch and play with the pups all day. We have a good sized fenced back yard that our two dogs love to run around in so your dogs will have plenty of time to hang out and play outside or relax and take naps inside.

“Alex has been absolutely wonderful! He has been very patient with Finn and allowed him to take his time warming up to him. Alex sends me daily photos which I really appreciate, and has offered to spend more time with Finn outside after noticing that Finn was enjoying it. I plan on continuing to use Alex’s services and highly suggest him!”

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for many years — not just my own, but also the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’ll always provide thoughtful updates and plenty of photos. I pride myself on being prepared and detail-oriented, and I’ll always ask the right questions to ensure your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality are fully respected. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I’m available to care for your pet during the day on my remote workdays. On the days I’m in the office, I’m free in the evenings. I’m happy to work around your schedule and accommodate your pet’s needs as best I can! As someone who loves being outdoors, going on walks and runs is already part of my routine, making it easy and enjoyable to include your pet in my day I live in a very walkable neighborhood surrounded by parks and families, which is the perfect environment for dog walks and check-ins. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and update with photos and notes to ensure an stress-free visits for pet owners!

“Ashley was a dog whisperer! She walked my recently adopted adult dog with a traumatic past. Ashley never imposed on my dog’s space and spent time each day making my dog feel safe. By day 3, my dog was greeting her at door and happily walking with confidence. I am so grateful for Ashley and her kind and patient energy. I highly recommend you book her services if you want peace of mind that your dog is being treated with respect by a mindful person.”


About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a routine, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I offer dependable, attentive care with plenty of affection. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're gone. I just graduated from Auburn University, and have just moved to Pittsburgh from Memphis! My availability is extremely open and I am willing to work days, nights, weekends, or whatever is needed. At the moment, the fence in my backyard is undergoing repairs, so I’m not offering pet care in my home right now. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel most at ease. Working in your home allows me to stick closely to your pet’s routine and provide one-on-one attention in a space that’s familiar and comfortable for them. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

About: I LOVE playing and running around with dogs and am happy to take your dog on long walks or on a romp in the dog park. I'm currently on sabbatical, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pets... and I will because I miss my pet time! My husband is allergic, so Rover is how I get to spend time with furry friends. For dogs, I keep an eye out for dangerous situations when on walks with dogs and ensure that we give a wide berth to any possible threats. For cats, I make sure that I respect their boundaries and don't stress them out as we're getting to know each other. I am also very careful when entering and leaving to ensure they don't escape.

“Chloe has been incredibly reliable, helpful, and excellent at communicating! I'm so grateful that she's been available to walk our dog Ace while my partner and I are away at work. Ace absolutely loves Chloe, and we love that he gets great walks and attention when we're away!”

Nealey B.
“For the past couple years, Nealey has cared for my cat when I travel. I travel multiple times a year for a few weeks at a time so having a responsible and competent caregiver for my cat is very important. Nealey is attentive and caring to him. She spends time every day giving him some personal attention and makes sure he has what he needs in terms of food and water and of course lots of petting! When I am traveling, I am totally reassured that my cat will be well cared for and if there is any emergency situation that comes up that Nealey will be able to manage that and keep me apprised. I would highly recommend Nealey for your pet care. Nealey is the perfect cat sitter and I know she is also a dog lover and would be excellent in the care of any household pet.”

Pawarisa B.
“It’s rare to meet someone as genuinely loving and nurturing as Pawarisa when it comes to caring for animals. She has an incredible gift for making pets feel safe, seen, and deeply loved. Every animal in her care becomes part of her heart, and it shows in everything she does. Whether it's cuddling on the couch, taking long, thoughtful walks, or simply being present and attentive to a pet's needs, Pawarisa offers a level of warmth and emotional care that goes beyond basic responsibility. Her calm and gentle presence has a way of soothing even the most anxious or shy pets. What stands out most is how much joy Pawarisa brings to the lives of the animals they care for. It's not just about feeding, walking, or playing—it's about creating a sense of trust, comfort, and unconditional love. Any pet lucky enough to be in Pawarisa’s care is truly in the best hands. I can’t recommend Pawarisa highly enough for anyone looking for a caretaker who will love their pet like family.”

“Tessa is amazing with pets! Tessa was always excellent with my rambunctious puppy - she was playful, patient, and helped me get through some tough puppy days. Tessa was also a wonderful and caring owner of a sweet senior rescue dog, and has cared for several other pets throughout her life. Outside of her experience with animals, Tessa is also a great person to work with in general. Tessa is easy to talk to, very receptive to concerns/questions, and will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable. She is extremely kind, helpful, and reliable. I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! She will take great care of your pets and treat them like family.”
