Dog Sitting in Sewickley

About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life and have cared for nine cats over the years, so understanding cats of all personalities comes very naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy caring for cats across the full range of temperaments—from social and playful to quiet and independent—and I approach every visit with calm attentiveness and respect for each cat’s individual style. I’m also very familiar with dogs and their care, having helped care for dogs since childhood. I’m comfortable with small, well-mannered adult dogs and focus on keeping visits safe, predictable, and low-stress. In addition to cats and dogs, I have experience caring for small animals, including a fire-bellied lizard, fish, and parakeets. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and understand the importance of consistency and gentle handling for animals with specialized routines. During visits, I always provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to offer reliable, thoughtful care that helps pets feel secure and comfortable in their own homes while their people are away. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured and predictable way. On weekdays, I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks after work between 5:45–7:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which allows for more flexibility. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to do walks as long as weather conditions are safe. I do not offer overnight care. My schedule is consistent, and I’m careful to only accept bookings I can reliably and comfortably accommodate. All care takes place in the client’s home—I do not offer boarding, daycare, or in-home care at my residence. I follow written care instructions exactly and prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. For transparency, I occasionally bring my toddler with me on drop-in visits; for safety, pets and child are always kept separate, with no direct interaction. I do not introduce client pets to other people or animals. During each visit, I complete basic safety checks such as ensuring doors are secure, food and water needs are met, litter boxes or potty routines are handled, and the overall environment feels calm and safe. I communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary and always provide updates so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”

“Brandie checked in on our cat, Max, for four days last week. She did an outstanding job taking care of Max! It was nice to know he was in great care with her and we didn't have to worry about him. We won't hesitate to use Brandie again on future trips.”

“Megan was so attentive to my kitties’ needs. She gave me a full report on each visit, complete with photos, and was patient and kind to my stressed out kitty that pooed on the floor twice for her :( And she was so friendly and professional. Would absolutely hire her again!”

About: I provide dependable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As a graduate student, I have a structured routine and strong time management skills, which means your pet will get consistent, reliable care and attention. I’m especially mindful of safety, behavior, and comfort, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine so they feel secure and at ease. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra support, or medication reminders. I focus on creating a calm, positive environment and use clear communication with owners so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of thought and intention I bring to pet care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I prioritize trust, consistency, and a safe environment above everything. I’m a graduate student at Pitt and spend about 40 hours a week in clinical settings treating patients. Because of that, my weekday availability is more limited, but I can offer select drop-in visits during early mornings or evenings depending on the day. My weekends are much more flexible, and I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care from Friday through Sunday. I’m very organized with my schedule, so when I commit to a visit, you can count on me being reliable, punctual, and consistent. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines, to keep everything as familiar as possible for your pet. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and keep things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly managed to prevent any safety issues, and I’m attentive to your pet at all times. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision. I do have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time would be closely monitored and leashed to ensure safety. I also prioritize communication, providing regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels cared for and you have complete peace of mind.

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little. I have personally trained my dog on simple commands like sit, stay and come. I am also teaching my dog on how to communicate with buttons. I am currently on a morning shift, so I have plenty of time in the evenings for walks and play time. I am currently available after 3pm. I normally have Wednesday and Thursdays off so I could stop by on times that would be convenient for you. While your animals are under my care I ensure to give you peace of mind that your fur babies are taken care of and are safe while you are away. I will treat your home and fur babies as they are my own. I often use treats (with your permission) and praise to encourage good behavior. I also have taught dogs the basic commands like sit, stay, and come.

“Allee was so great! We felt really comfortable knowing our dogs were with her while we were away. She kept in touch and also sent pictures of them. We will definitely be using her again :) highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I’m dependable, caring, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, regular walks, or extra companionship, I make sure they receive reliable, loving care and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their unique needs, personality, and routine. In a client’s home, I work to maintain their normal schedule by providing feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, and lots of affection. I also make sure the home is kept clean and secure while you’re away. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to any special instructions, including medications, dietary needs, or behavioral preferences, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: A couple of months after we married my husband adopted our first dog, Sandy, and I’ve been hooked ever since. That was 26 years ago. Both of my sons are adults now so I have free time to focus my attention on your baby. Your baby will have my undivided attention. My property is fenced and I will accompany your baby outdoors. We can play fetch or simply keep each other company. I will do what it takes to make your baby comfortable and happy.

“Delaney was awesome! She took great care of my mother’s kitties for me.”

About: What truly sets me apart is my passion for animals and my future career goals. I plan on working with dogs professionally in the future, so caring for animals is something I genuinely care deeply about and take seriously. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged with walks, playtime, and attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also patient, dependable, and focused on giving every dog loving, attentive care. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for many different pets and breeds through both my own animals and my family’s dogs. Being around a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels has helped me become very comfortable understanding each dog’s individual needs and routines. I recently graduated from college and currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m in between jobs. During this time, I’m excited to continue working with dogs because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and hope to pursue professionally in the future as well. Since my availability is very flexible, I’m open to pet care any day of the week and can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to each dog. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pets during overnight stays in their homes, so I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment, while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected.

“Sydnie was amazing! I had a lot to hand off to her in terms of care and meds for my cats and while my cats had their own ideas. she did so amazing and with so much grace. On time, communicative and just lovely to work with. Would definitely recommend and book again with her.”

About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪

“There is nobody better than Brianna! Our three cats have shown love to her like we’ve never seen from any other sitter. Brianna is naturally loving, attentive to each animals quirks, and perfect to work with while on a trip. She gives us great peace of mind and a perfect person to work with!”

“Kate took great care of our cats and sent plenty of pictures. We also needed an extra day of watching them due to unforeseen circumstances and she was super flexible in helping us out.”

“Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of my two elderly cats over the holidays. They generally do not interact with strangers, yet they were comfortable with Courtney, which speaks volumes about her calm and caring approach. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their furry family members.”

“Jessica is great! I recommend her for any time you might need help With your fur babies!?”

“I could tell right away that Dana was dependable, reliable and can be counted on. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my two cats, that provided me the peace of mind that I needed to enjoy my vacation week. I was so happy to find that she also truly is kind, caring, and loves animals, and that my shy cats warmed up to her immediately! I would absolutely recommend Dana.”

I currently work part time and am a part time online grad student working on my masters degree from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I work well with all pets big, small, young, and old as long as they are non-aggressive.
