“Gabrielle is an amazing cat sitter! She's so kind and obviously loves animals. She did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 kitties. We will absolutely ask her again and highly recommend her services.”

I'd describe my personality as a warm hearted person, full of love and care fot animals, I'm very gentle and listen to attrntion, my bubbly person with a positive attitude allows me to be very friendly and accomodative that give me the energy to be very open and playful with pets. I'm looking for a pet sitting job, since l am fully available aylt anytime and anyday given fulltime and l am flexible and enjoy every moment with the any pet given as l learn them more. In my spare time, I like to do nature hikes/run, visit parks so there's a lot of walking, with my given expertise l will provide light housekeeping like vacuuming and cleaning up the area if required, give out medication or treats, do al lot of walks and play with dogs and more physical to gain a good connection, do some potty training if needed and enrichment and basic training for your pet.

About: I am a huge animal lover and have had a dog or other pet in my life since I was born. I volunteered at the Animal Rescue League in early 2012. I was approved to walk all levels of dogs including the bigger breeds. I have yet to find a breed I do not enjoy working with. I have some experience with training and would be happy to add some simple obedience to my visits. I have also worked at PetSmart in their hotel. I am very comfortable with other pets and am willing to accept caring for cats, small and furry animals as well as reptiles if that is something you are looking for. Thank you for considering me and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: Hello! My name is Maya and I am an animal lover! I volunteered at a local animal shelter and was promoted to a volunteer coordinator there due to my dedication to caring for the animals searching for their fur-ever homes. During my time at the shelter I have administered medication, walked dogs twice my size, and have cleaned up far too many bad smelling liquids for one person alone. I am comfortable doing whatever may be necessary to ensure your pet is well taken care of and happy. You can be worry free if your pet is with me! I’m currently in graduate school online, so my schedule is flexible. I have the time to give your pet all the time and attention they need! I strive to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible! I understand boundaries and that some pets need time to open up and am more than willing to give them that time.
“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”
“Denyal was the BEST! In constant communication with me and made sure my kitties were loved on while I wasn’t home! Def will reach out to her again for pet sitting services!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I love spending time with them in my free time! My daughter loves cats and dogs! Currently working 745am-345pm Monday-Friday. Can care for your pet before and after work! I also get a long lunch break would be able to check on them during then too! I have a large unfenced yard but willing to take dog to a fenced yard if needed! My daughter and I love spending time with animals.
“Chris was amazing!! He took amazing care of my boys and I'm incredibly grateful to have found him, especially when I needed someone so last minute over the holidays. Left my home better than he found it every day!”
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everytime they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.
About: Since I was a child, people would bring strays or unbalanced animals to our house who would suddenly be calm and comfortable in my care. I spent a lot of time in nature and wild animals would often follow me home. I now have my Masters of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis and wrote an original thesis on clicker training for service dogs. I am on the Board and a trainer for Hero Puppies for Life where we train service dogs for heroes with PTSD. We use positive reinforcement and are focused around relational bond training. This sets the dogs up for success to support their humans. We also teach their humans how to understand their dog's instincts and communication. I am quite passionate about it. :) Leo is my 7 year old black lab and personal service dog so your fur family will have free socialization and canine therapy in addition to my human care. He has worked with me extensively as a focal point in my approach to providing applied behavior analysis therapy to children and dogs. I trust our working relationship more than anyone on two legs. ;) Please feel free to ask me any questions about this dynamic! I am currently a full time student in an online, fully remote, tech program so I am very flexible when it comes to location, time of day, and duration for care. From the time I was in college, I always loved pet and house sitting. Opportunities for a change of scenery, in a fresh space, and caring for fur friends is always a treat. The care completely depends on the needs of the animals and home. I have administered meds, cared for young and old pets, implemented training, embraced snuggles, and fulfilled food orders that make meals look like a sundae.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life. I am very good with animals! I am happy to feed and play with your pet! I also have experience caring for disabled and aging pets and am able to administer any needed medication! I currently work on the week days only. So my weekends are completely free to play and take care of your pet! I will be sure to give them lots of love and attention! I will treat your pet like my own and ensure their happiness and safety! I also follow any rules, expectations, or instructions you have given me!
About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
About: My dog is my entire world! As freshman in high school I rescued an adorable Cocker Spaniel, and I’ve watched him grow with me through high school, college, and grad school. Unfortunately as a grad student transplant I had to leave my best friend in the care of my parents in central PA, but I still need to fill the dog-shaped hole in my heart! I have a decade of personal experience caring for puppies to senior dogs, and love going on walks as much as your active pup! As a grad student working part-time I often have evenings and weekends free for time with your pet! During the summer I am free to walk your dog after 5pm during the week, and many weekends will be open for pet-sitting or check-ins at any time of the day. During the semester my evening availability will vary, but I will have time on Tuesdays to go on walks or check in on your pet and will be available at all hours on many weekends. I also have a car and will be able to travel to all corners of Pittsburgh! I will care for your pet as if it were my own! Since pet care is very important to me, I will follow any and all instructions you leave behind to make sure your pet has the greatest experience possible while their owner is away. I hope to bond with your pet and build trust with them so that they will be comfortable with walks, pet-sitting, and check-ins in the coming months!
About: I have had a dog for 7 years! He is super playful and joyous. I have had to brush his teeth, clip his nails, and give him medicine, along with all other responsibilities that come with a dog. I love big dogs and am very patient with all animals. I currently work part-time and have availability in the mornings and nights! I walk everyday and am hoping to include a pet in my daily walks! I am very tidy and considerate of people's space as well as the animal's environment. I take care to keep anything dangerous locked away from my pets in my home and am very careful with opening and closing doors to the outside due to my cat!
“There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.”
“Jenna took great care of my cat! She was punctual, communicative, responsible, and I felt safe leaving my cat in her care. I came back home to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Jenna! ☺️”
“Ja’Vae was a great sitter to work with! She was quick to communicate, very flexible, and totally understanding. She sent lots of photos and ensured my pet would be in good hands for the week. I came home to both a happy cat and a very clean apartment. Thank you so much!”

Olivia came for drop-ins for my two cats twice a day while I was on vacation for about a week and she did a fantastic job! One of my cats needed insulin shots and she proactively came over a few times before the booked time to practice administering the injection to make sure she did it correctly and was comfortable with doing it, which I really appreciated. My other cat also needed a pill and she made sure he took it during every drop-in. She is very communicative and reached out with questions and updates as needed, but for the most part, I was hands-off and knew my cats were in good hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be reaching out to Olivia for any future kitty care needs!
Jessica is a friend you didn't know you had! She made everything smooth and easy. She cated for my cats as if they were her own. Not even the winter storm of the decade kept her away. And she even cleared a path to my house so when I got home after my trip, I wasnt snowed out. She took great pictures and amazing updates. always quick to respond, a very caring person. Hands down best sitter I've had. I couldn't thank her enough. Took away all the stress I would of had during my trip.
Kelly is awesome and very attentive to our critters. She communicated well when our one kitty had some issues with her pajamas (over grooming) and needed changing from soiling due to litter use and put her in her cone. She noticed our fish tank and the frogs had passed (from change of environment and water before we left, not her fault). She spent good social time with the kitties and was very nice to work with. I will hire her again! Thank you Kelly!
Kristi did a fabulous job caring for my cats over the holiday. As always, she is great at confirming her availability and scheduling visits. When I forgot something, Kristi called to clarify instructions which I super appreciate!! Thanks Kristi! My cats enjoy Kristi’s visits, they can sometimes be sassy when I’m not around but Kristi has great cat intelligence, takes photos and I always return to happy yet clingy kitties.
Kaylah was phenomenal! We're so excited about how well she worked with our cats. Especially Dutchess, since she's exceptionally skittish around people she's unfamiliar with. She did warm up to Kaylah and ate her food consistently which is always a concern for us when we're traveling. Kaylah was professional, efficient, kind, and her love of animals shined as she took great care in looking after our fur babies! 10/10 would recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
The 1st time I had to leave my cats, Pookie and Ziggy, with a Pet-Sitter. Sandy was PROFESSIONAL, PUNCTUAL, and stayed and played with my Furbabies. Sandy sent me pictures each day, which put my mind at ease. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sandy!!! I will use her again!!!😻😻😻
