Pet Sitting in Shadyside

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My dogs have been and always will be members of the family. We currently do not have a dog as our 14 year old lab passed away from a stroke last year. We do allow dogs on furniture and we do take excursions to the park in good weather. This can be your dogs home away from home. I am retired and am home unless I am traveling. We have a fenced in property with woods and a creek that your dog can enjoy on walks unless you prefer they just stay in the main yard. When your dog is here so am I to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have a single family home with a fenced yard. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed. I enjoy excursions to the park with my dog for walks and relaxing. Children are grown and gone so it's just a couple who enjoy dogs. We have a senior Labrador who is very friendly, has all vaccinations and has free roam of the house. I am also available to sit for your dog in your home if you prefer. I follow any instructions for your dog you want me to, including administering medications.

“I highly recommend Brooklynn's services! She did several check-ins with my cat while I was out of town and clearly kept him safe and entertained. She is highly communicative and she was very respectful of my pet and my space. It was a pleasure to hire her to care for my cat.”

About: I have had cats all of my life, ranging from young kittens to elderly cats (fun fact: my oldest cat lived into her 20’s). I respect their space, play with them, and give them all of the love I can. While I currently don’t own a dog, I am comfortable with them as well. When offering services in home, I am available to grab your packages, do light cleaning, water your plants, and send you cute photos of your babies. I work full time at an 8-4 job. I can come in before or after work plus full availability on the weekends to come care for your pets. I will always respect the animal’s space and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would wait for them to warm up to me rather than forcing them into an uncomfortable situation.

About: I have grown up on a farm my entire life and absolutely love animals. I have 3 dogs a Shih Tzu, Austrian Shepard, and English Shepard, so I have worked with a few different sizes and energy levels. I also have lots of cats that I absolutely adore. In addition, I have taken care of some family friend pets and loved it so I thought I would give this a shot! I’m currently in college and I am missing my pets. My workload is pretty light right now so I thought l this would be a great way to use my time and hopefully I can save a little as well. Currently, my schedule is pretty workable on both weekdays and weekends! I know that when I am way I want to make sure that my pets are in good hands. I hope that I can be those set of good hands for you! I am able to do what needs to be done in order for your pet to feel safe and taken care of.

About: I got my first puppy when I was 7 years old- it taught me responsibility, care, and love for all animals. Knowing how much I loved this cute pup, I expanded my scope of what loving animals means to me. I adopted 2 cats 6 years later, and was in a 4-h club for 7 years and raised over 30 rabbits, along with tending to all the other animals at the fairgrounds. I had 3 cute little hamsters as pets when I was in high school as well. I have also had the pleasure of taking care of other peoples dogs, cats, birds, and many other animals, which I enjoy an immense amount. I am flexible in my schedule and can accommodate to anyones needs. I have a car to get to where I need to go, so I don’t have many things holding me back from giving your pet the care it needs. I have always been very respectful and caring for my animals, and I believe they deserve the utmost care. I care that the pets know my smell and my voice and trust me completely- I do not want any animal to feel as if there is a stranger in their home that they need to be wary of. I will do my very best to provide the most comforting experience for them.

About: I've worked as a vet assistant, at a pet store, volunteered at a animal shelter and have been dog training, grooming, walking and pet/dog sitting for years. This is what I do for work so I am able to be with your sweeties as much as possible! Feel free to reach out to me! I always monitor and take as best care of them possible. Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. if your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!

About: I’ve taken care of nine animals in one house before. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and young puppies. I also have taken care of Snakes, Sugar gliders, Chinchillas and more. I have an open schedule. I will most likely accept requests if i’m available that day. I’d love to watch animals everyday if I could. I stay at the clients home if they are comfortable with me doing so. I spend all day caring and spending time with your pets.

About: I've worked professionally in the pet industry since the age of 17 (currently 27) and have had personal pets all my life as well as volunteered prior to working. I was a professional groomer in California before moving to Ohio and becoming a stay at home mom. I worked at Fort Defiance Humane Society as a Kennel Tech for a few months before deciding to part ways. I'm currently a stay at home mom, my son is 4 and absolutely adores dogs. He would have to accompany my to any walking or drop ins. We are both very aware of saftey and how to handle dogs. I believe in providing proper mental and physical enrichment for the animals in the home. In my home my cats are brushed daily, and we give them plenty of play time.

About: Howdy, I am genuinely passionate towards animals and have been most of my life. I currently travel nationwide for work & appreciate taking care of animals along the way. I have a range of domestic animals as well as a few farms that are growing with animals & agriculture (homesteading & ranch life). Background: I grew up with 4 police trained German shepherds, have spent 10 years on farms dealing with a range of animals as well as animal personalities. I currently use a few animals as emotional support tools for clients I caregive for and have a handful of close veterinarian friends to reach out to for any immediate pet advice. It may be useful to know that there may be some small farm animals that visit if there's an opportunity to care for your animals onsite. Keeping the animals separate is managed as needed. The chickens have their own coop and the dogs have their own 1/2 an acre that is completely fenced in for outdoor play time. Feel free to ask about any other details or special needs you may have. I currently have full control of my schedule which includes to flexibility to cater my schedule to you and your animal's individual needs & preferences. We usually have some form of communication to make sure the animal's needs and care routine are a good fit. Every situation can be a bit different & will be customized to fit the needs of the time.

“Judith did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She really loves animals and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again to watch my cats.”

“Natasha was wonderful! She was very thorough and communicative, and we never had to worry about our cats while we were away because she was so on top of everything. She spent plenty of time with them on each visit, and also kept us updated with lots of photos. Our cats are senior citizens and need medications, so they're not the easiest to take care of, but Natasha handled everything incredibly well. We would happily have her watch our cats again.”

About: I’ve taken care of more dogs than I can remember. When I was born we had puppies even. We’ve had mostly medium sized dogs but a few large here and there. I work 2 jobs part time but my Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are open right now. So it would be quite easy to just pop in real quick on those days and check on clients animals. Pets in my home will either be in a kennel indoor or outdoor depending on the weather. I have a few dogs and cats. They have a huge yard to run in.

About: I have fed and walked a Labrador retriever, Belgian shepherd, pomchi, beagle and two domestic American shorthairs. If you want to walk your cat, I am your guy! My availability would consist of it being 4pm to 10pm throughout the day; I can check on your fur baby or babies during those times. In my day to day life, I can cut my dog and cat’s nails. I can crate your cat or dog if it is necessary.

“Michelle is amazing and took such great care of our fur family! She took lots of wonderful pictures so we knew our pups were in great shape and happy during her visits!”

About: Hi there, I’m Brittany. Animals make me happy. When I see a pet, I see a child. They are a member of the family. They have the sweetest souls and biggest hearts and I wouldn’t treat them any other way. I have one dog and I was raised with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have always been an animal lover and I always will be. Every day I take my dog on at least one walk and many times I walk him multiple times per day. I treat my fur babies like family and how I would want to be treated. I am not only here to help you during your busy schedule but to become a friend to you and your fur baby. To house sit during longer durations, I can travel to anywhere. I would need to bring my golden retriever with me if your pets like to socialize and make new friends, he loves other dogs and gets along with them great, he is very social and has been to many dog parks and households with pets, if not I may be able to find someone to take care of him for me during that time. For drop in visits, I can assist on my own or bring my dog for some company. I am also available on certain days for doggy day care and boarding. When I have a dog stay with me I treat that dog like my own and it would have an amazing friend to play with. Pets are allowed on furniture, I have treats, toys, tons of dog beds, and a fenced in yard. I will also take your dog out on walks and play fetch or tug to burn energy. If you choose to book me, thank you for trusting me and I won’t disappoint you! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to help accommodate what you need help with, whether that is daily or weekly. I am always picking up new work bookings. I have booked a lot off of rover so I have additional referrals if you would like them! I will treat your animals and home as if it were my own, with love, trust, and respect. I have helped out for many years taking care of people's pets and homes. I have many references.

“I was very happy with this service I had a last minute job come up I had to leave for a day and a half and was quick to respond and Jaxson was very happy when I got home!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was four years old. I have taken care of high maintenance/high energy dogs which include but not limited to: Beagles, Beagle/Golden Retriever (my current dog), Labradoodles, and German-Shepherd mix. I have also taken care of smaller dogs including shitzus and shitzu/Pomeranian. My family and friends have relied on my many times to take care of their dogs. I am currently working full-time, 7:30 AM-4:30 PM. But I have an hour for lunch so I will have time to visit your home and make sure your dog is very well taken care of. I have a long lead used for when the dogs need to go outside. I also have crates for the dogs if necessary. I have multiple leashes and many toys the dogs can play with.

About: I have a love for animals big and small. I enjoy exploring and making new experiences with animals. I have experience with elderly and medical needs animals. I work as a nanny and have sometimes weeks off and would love to have an animal to take care of and take places with me. I have a house with 13 acres, for dogs that are not recall trained I use a 10 ft leash and always make sure leases are on before the door opens. I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.

About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!

“Claire is wonderful! She is very easy to work with and a great communicator. She went above and beyond giving love and care to our pup. I live in a building down town where parking is difficult and building entry is complicated and she managed it without a hitch. I highly recommend her!!”
