House Sitting in Northview Heights, Pittsburgh, PA

“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”

“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”

“I appreciated how sweet she was with my older pup!”

“This is my second time using Sydney for pet sitting. She puts so much car into watching the animals she’s charged with. She does a wonderful job with my anxious dog and very shy cats. I trust her to take good care of my home as well. Looking forward to continuing to use Sydney in the future!”

“Maddi was amazing! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I had to add an extra day on to the original stay, and I am so grateful for all of her help. When I came home, my pets were all super happy and in great moods!!”

About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”

“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”

About: I work from home so this allows me to give a lot of time and care to your pup. I am happy to take your pup along with me on my multiple walks per day and play in the yard. My son and I take a lot of joy out of hosting dogs and have so much fun with our Rover guests! Please note the dogs in our pictures do not reside with us and will not be present in our home when we have puppy guests. We only host one guest at a time (unless it’s a family pair). We would love to host your pup if it is house trained, friendly to all humans and other dogs, and does not have any history of aggression, separation anxiety or destructive / behavioral issues as we would not be equipped to handle. Meet and greet prior to boarding is our request to ensure a great experience for all. Thank you in advance for your transparency on these requirements! I work from home and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.

“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”

About: I was born into a family with a dog and have had a dog in my life ever since! Now I have a 7 year old pittie mix who is my whole world. I trained her and continue to do so to help her acquire new skills or just for mental stimulation. While I was a late-in-life cat lover, I now have 2 cats of my own who i cant imagine life without. Over the years I’ve had many friends, family, and coworkers trust me with their fur babies whether it was for a single walk, a feeding and play time, or stay overs while they were gone. I even have experience administering medicine to special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. Usually I am free in the mornings and afternoons. Evenings are tougher for me, but we can make something work! I will always want to do a meet and greet before caring for your animal whether I’m providing a walk or a staying with your fur baby over night. I want to make sure I’m the best fit and that you feel comfortable with your pet in my hands. I will defer to you in terms of safety and care (beyond the basics) as you know your pet best. As I get to know your pet, I’ll understand their preferences and triggers which will allow me to provide them with the best care.

“Our dog Dunkin was so happy when we returned home! Tells me that Traisaun took great care of him. Appreciated all the pics while we were away!”

Rachel M.

“Jess was wonderful! She cuddled with my pets, took them for walks, loved on them, and sent me lots of pictures! Cant wait to have her watch them again!”

About: Hello! My name is Jasmine and I live on the North Shore. I have a lot of pet care experience as I've grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs-you name it-for most of my life. I have an unparalleled amount of energy as a person, so being with pets is a perfect match. I love physical activity, so whether it’s going for a walk or throwing the ball, it all works for me. Some of my favorite activities to do with pets include going to the dog park, playing fetch (with dogs or cats), darting a laser light around the room, playing hide and seek with cats, watching the cars drive by (very intriguing), and anything else your pet loves to do. Even if that means just simply relaxing and soaking up the sun. Whatever pace your pet prefers is the one I will adapt. All in all, working and playing with your animals will be the highlight of my day! I currently have a minimum workload, so I will likely be available at any time of your convenience. I can work in the mornings, midday, and evenings if necessary. This includes weekend availability as well. Depending on what service you’re looking for, I can easily get your pet suited up for a walk, any medication necessary, feeding, crating, cleaning litter-boxes or cages, snuggling, treats…

“Darra was great with Boon - she was reliable and communicated with us the whole time that we were away. She was the perfect houseguest as well, leaving our house cleaner than we left it! All in all we had a great experience and we would recommend her to anyone.”
