About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a sweet three-year-old chihuahua mix, and I truly enjoy meeting and bonding with new dogs. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. I live on Pittsburgh’s Northside with a small, secure fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor fun. Since I work from home full time, I can give your pet plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small fenced-in yard in Pittsburgh’s Northside for safe outdoor breaks, plus I love getting out for longer walks with my dog, at least once a day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I also have a baby gate to limit access to stairs for small dogs when needed. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to give them the attention, care, and love they deserve.

“Hannah did a fantastic job caring for my dog Boo! Boo usually struggles with new environments, but the care and attention Hannah provided made all the difference. She was patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to ease my dog's anxiety. Highly recommend for anyone with a nervous dog!”



“Barrett really was amazing. We booked him last minute (less than 2 hours before we needed him) so we could take in a Pirates game while passing thru Pittsburgh, and he was quite gracious. Our Tucker is nearly 15 and a bit of a nervous Nellie. Barrett took it all in stride. I highly recommend Barrett”



“Pam did an excellent job with my little doing g, Mocha! She sent daily photos and updates to let me know that Mocha was in great hands. I will definitely use Pam again and highly recommend her!”


About: When it comes to pet sitting, my extensive experience and deep love for dogs truly set me apart. I've been around dogs since I was a baby and have been taking care of them for over 15 years. This lifelong familiarity with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. In addition to my experience, I have special skills in both training puppies and providing care for senior dogs. I am well-versed in the unique requirements of each life stage, ensuring that your pet receives the appropriate attention and care. Currently, I have a 1.5-year-old sweet Bernedoodle who is well-socialized and loves both cats and dogs. This personal experience further enhances my ability to provide a loving and comfortable environment for your pets. Whether it's playtime, training, or senior care, I am dedicated to offering the best possible care for your furry family members. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day starts with dedicated time for feeding, walking, and playing with my dog, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Throughout the day, I incorporate short training sessions and regular bathroom breaks to maintain a structured schedule. In addition to daily care, my weekly routine includes more extensive activities such as grooming, longer outdoor adventures, and socialization opportunities with other pets. I make sure to set aside time for veterinary visits and any necessary health check-ups. Having a consistent routine not only keeps my own dog happy and healthy but also ensures that I am always prepared to provide top-notch care for other pets as well. My experience with my Bernedoodle has taught me the importance of maintaining a balanced and enriching routine, which I apply to all the pets I care for. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and loved. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to play and relax. I ensure that each pet has their own designated area with their bed, toys, and food/water bowls. Regular walks, playtime, and training sessions are part of the daily routine, along with lots of affection and attention. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, making sure they are happy and stress-free. When providing care in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize any disruption. I follow the feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with the pets, ensuring they get enough exercise, play, and companionship. I am also attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, treating it with the utmost respect. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or providing extra cuddles, I make sure every pet receives personalized and loving care.

About: Overnight / day care: - 2 to 3 walks a day, around 30 minutes - at home care for 8 hours during the work week - spacious house with fenced in yard I grew up with three dogs, caring for them wrapped into my day to day routine growing up. Friends, family, and even coworkers have asked me to pet sit, allowing me to enjoy the perks of pet ownership whilst taking a hiatus on personal ownership currently. I also currently volunteer at the local shelter, which has provided me ample experience on how to manage different types of dogs with varying temperaments. I have a flexible work schedule, being able to pick and choose days/hours I work. My husband and I live quite an active lifestyle, going for daily runs/walks, and can incorporate your pet exercising needs however required. I love love love playing with dogs so rest assured your pet will be mentally and physically stimulated ! I live in a three story home with a fenced in yard with my husband.

“Abby and Jason did a wonderful job with Finn! He was so tuckered out after playing with Wall-E all day. They were also super flexible about pick up and drop off times despite me having a very weird and unpredictable schedule for the week. Highly recommend!”


“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my Winston for the day. Great communication and gave him his medicine when needed. She took him on multiple walks and he came back a happy boy. Thanks Sarah!”

About: I grew up with a French Bulldog, Cooper, and I loved and cared for him deeply all of my life, training him ever since he was just a puppy! Now that I'm in college, I still truly have a strong emotional bond with dogs and am passionate about caring well for them. I am currently working part time and staying on campus for the summer so I have relatively flexible hours for walking your pets. I'm already a relatively active person and enjoy walking around the city! I prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort on every walk. I stay alert to surroundings—avoiding busy streets, unsafe areas, and unknown dogs. I stick to familiar routes unless requested otherwise, and I always keep your dog on a leash. I take time to build trust by moving at your dog’s pace, offering positive reinforcement, and learning their unique personality. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer walk, I aim to create a calm, consistent, and fun environment where your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for every step of the way.
