About: Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, and I love dogs of all sizes and other animals as well. I grew up on a farm, and we always had dogs. My black lab, Teke, was my best friend and provided me with hours of fun and years of memories. I currently reside in Ligonier, PA and have two dogs of my own: Molly (Bichon Frise/Shih tzu mix) and Bo (Pit/ Lab mix); a sweet kitty, Marshmallow; and, a Netherland dwarf rabbit, Darth.I have experience caring for puppies, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable giving medications, and following any special diets your fur baby may have. I will treat your fur children as if they were my own. If you are interested please reach out and let’s connect today! **Please note that the rate as established is per animal per night, drop-in, or walk. There has been some confusion and Rover doesn't clarify that.** I am a full-time Neurorehabilitation Specialist specializing in TBI care, so I am able to tailor my schedule to fit pet care into my daily routine. I always make sure their needs are met. I can provide whatever services your furbaby may need. My babies are well cared for, and they are always my top priority. I am here to help!


About: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old! I have always had a love for being around animals. I am a college student, so currently my summer is mostly free! I have a good amount of availability at any time of the week. I have a fenced in yard so both of my dogs can run free, yet stay safe! Both of my cats spend their time indoors.

About: Hi! I have a dog of my own and she’s my baby! I’m currently offering in home sitting and drop in visits. For in home sittings my dog would have to come with me for I can’t leave her alone if it’s overnight or for a couple of nights. I’m an all around animal lover! I can also help teach your new puppy basic stuff like sit, lay down, and potty training! I currently do have a job but I work evenings, and can work with anyone’s schedule! Im mostly available in the mornings but on my days off I’m available at anytime! If your dogs would needed to be crated I could definitely do that, my dog is dog friendly and even cat friendly, also let me know how much to feed them a day

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds since I was young! I have always lived in a dog household, with Pittbulls, Chihuahuas, Mastiffs, and more! Beyond that, I have pet sat for family, friends, and professors whenever I had free time! Let me show your pets the love and attention they deserve! I am at an in-between phase in my life right now, so my schedule is fairly wide open! I can accommodate most any needs in my routine. I am very punctual and observant and will watch your pets like they are my own. I will take any precautions you ask and will be over-attentive to their needs!

About: I’ve been around pets all my life. From the moment I was born we had cats and my family members had dogs. My cousin trains dogs and has been for 3 years, she gets them as little puppies and I am always around them. I walk dogs frequently and am around them frequently! I help a lot of people dog sit! I would like to get some extra cash and exercise while I am at school! I have an easy schedule this semester and would love to walk a dog or care for a pet. I’ve dog sitted many times before. Everytime I make sure I take them on walks, make sure they pee/poop, and feed them properly, but you can’t forget to love on them!! At home I love on my pets a lot, feed them and change their litter box, and such. I always make sure if they want out they go out! I make sure they get in at night.

About: I have grown up with and am always around dogs. I have dealt with little dogs such as a toy poodle to huge dogs like great Danes. I am a very active individual and enjoy playing/spending time with dogs. I can take care of or walk dogs in the mornings and later in the afternoon around dinner time. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I make sure all of my pets needs are met on a daily basis. I also spend as much time as I have available giving them attention and exercise.

“Craig was great, would highly recommend them if you need a walker. I'll defiantly be using them next time I go OOT!!”


“Kimberly did an awesome job with our baby, Dozer! She was kind and very responsive. We would absolutely book her again in the future! Thank you Kim!”


About: I have taken care of animals on my own for over 4 years. I love all animals. I currently have 2 cats and one dog who I love very much. All my pets are really spoiled, in my home they come first they are my children. I would love to watch dogs and act as if they are my own. My dog is currently a puppy and he hyper and loves to play. He is extremely friendly. I can help with basic training like sit, paw, down, up. All my experience with animals has come from having many on my own. So I self taught myself. Animals deserve all the love possible. I currently do not work so I have all the time to give any dog attention and love. I can help with potty training and other simple things. And will keep your dog company and make sure they are not alone I have a yard it’s not fenced but I do have a puppy who would keep your dogs company and they will have a playmate because he’s super friendly and playful.

About: I've had pets throughout my life, mostly guinea pigs. I've recently rescued a dog from a shelter with a horrible past. Poor Chip was hit by a car and was sent back to the shelter after a previous adopter said he was too much. Turns out he needed FHO surgery and tons of training. I'm a newbie with training, but have been working on commands and Chip is a completely different and happy dog. My neighbors can vouch for my dedication for the health and well being of dogs as I treat my Chip as a family member. I will be doing this part time as I finally got full time employment. I will frequently update my schedule as I know my availability. I am free mostly during the day. I will make sure the feeding and/or water is on time, the dog(s) get plenty of human socialization, and walks whenever needed. I will also try to train them to do commands such as sit, stay, and down as they're pretty important.


About: Graduated from the Vet Tech Institute of Pittsburgh did my internship at Somerset Animal Medical Center. I then went on to be a Veterinary Technician at Loyalsock Animal Hospital. I have been around animals all my life and have cared for animals for eight years. I have been trained to preform such skills like canine CPR and Canine first aid. I know first hand how difficult it could be having a full time job, trying to take care of pets, and having to make time to go on to a vacation or go away for a weekend. I am here to help make it easier to be able to go have a little bit of fun without the worry of finding a place to take your pet.

About: I grew up on a farm. My parents were both vets and worked with horses. I grew up in a household were our first priority was our animals. We’ve had a hand full of animals but dogs are my favorite! Also, I have a German Shepherd/ English Mastiff. I took him through basic and advanced obedience training and a little bit of scent work. I love enhancing their mindset with toys and little games. My dog is very friendly and loves having buddies over. I currently work a full time job but only work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I’m available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My dog and I go to the local park and run around for a while after we take an hour walk. We would love to have another dog to hang out with! My dog is able to roam around but under surveillance 24/7. If we have to go somewhere he goes in the carpeted basement and plays with his puzzle games until we are home. We usually like to lay low on weekends so I will usually always be there!

“Rebecca was wonderful with my Roxi, a Belgian Malinois. She took her for long walks and handled her with both enthusiasm and professionalism. She was a joy! Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I’m Anjel. I have had dogs my entire life of all sizes and breeds and most definitely a dog person (Don’t worry cats, I love you too). I understand the hardships of raising a well-rounded pup and I’m here to help! Patience is always key with any pet. Besides having dogs my entire life, I also previously worked at a Doggie Daycare & boarding facility and have house sitting/pet sitting clients that have been with me from the start of my pet sitting career starting 18 years ago. I enjoy all puppies whether they are large or small, young or old. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and do not turn away any breed. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, insulin (as well as testing before meals), and preparing meals for EPI dogs. I look forward to connecting with you! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns! I do prefer to stay within a 7 mile radius of my location, an additional fee $5 per visit/day will be added for those bookings greater than a 7 mile radius. I have open availability on the weekends and flexibility during the week. I currently work in Allegheny county right off of Rt. 51 so I am able to travel to all areas with ease. I am typically scheduled 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday but experience cancellations throughout the week where I’m typically home before 4pm. Leaving my morning availability open, possibility for mid day potty breaks when I experience cancellations, and my afternoon/evening open for walks, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting duties. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I like to stick to the pet’s routine to avoid any changes in their typical schedule. I take extra precautions when it comes to open doors, ensuring they are correctly and safely in their crate when applicable, and accompanying them when outside for potty breaks. Safety is my number one priority as I know it would be devastating if any accidents were to happen and I am proactive in covering all the bases to ensure that they do not.


“Jen did a great job. Sent pics and even put ice in Harley’s water dish since it was a warm day.”


About: I have 30 years of experience with boarding, pet sitting, dog walking working for vets and shelters. I've worked at Salons, Pet Stores, even a Pet Cemetery. I'm Currently working as a dog bather learning to become a dog groomer. I love animals and I adore working with dogs. I have 2 dogs and 4 rabbits I've lived in the Pittsburgh area my entire life. I have 30 years experience in pet care and my husband's family owns the only pet Cemetery in Westmoreland County. It's been in business for over 50 years. Im currently looking to take on a few clients (multiple pet families & senior/special needs pets/exotic pets) that require more of my time, training and attention. Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for . If you think we would be a good match we can have a screening interview over the phone. And then I'd follow up with a meet and greet to do a hands-on assessment on your pet. And we could review the pet care needs and routine. My specialty is dogs with PTSD/behavior issues. I'm not afraid of aggressive or high maintenance dogs. Working with animals is my greatest passion. Currently available Tuesday-Saturday days, evenings and weekends. Works part time as a dog bather, working to become a dog groomer. Love spending my time w pets. Home/family setting doggie daycare/boarding & pet sitting centered around your pets specific needs. I have extensive experience in dog handling, belly rubs.

About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.
