“Deeanna and Bev are amazing. They come once a week while I am living in my new grandson and I feel more than comfortable having them come over and take care of my 2 kitties. They are true animal lovers and my cats totally enjoy their visits. They are kind, sweet and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t imagine anyone else helping me. I give they 25 stars. Much love from me and my kitties. 💜💜”
“Kaity was super responsive, met us at our house for a quick tour and was incredibly nice. And did exactly what we agreed upon. I trust that she took care of our three pups (two of which are elderly and one who takes pills two times a day!) and we would 100% have her back again.”
About: I am detail oriented and love schedules. I am punctual and will send updates and photos to your specifications. Whether your babies need crated or cuddled, I am the one for the job. I am currently not working so I am available most days and weekends. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to walk and play as well. I have a fenced in yard, lots of space for the animals to roam around freely. My dogs are both friendly and happy to meet new friends.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and tailor my approach to each pet’s needs. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with basic training, medication routines, and providing comfort to anxious pups. Your dog will be treated like family! I currently work 15 days out of the month and can check in on your pets whenever it is needed! I usually know what my work schedule is going to be for the whole month in advance. In my home, pets are treated like family—with plenty of love, attention, and a safe, clean environment. I follow their usual routines to keep them comfortable and happy. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and stick to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks. Whether it's giving belly rubs, refreshing water bowls, or sending daily updates, I make sure each pet feels secure and cared for.
“Took great care of Mr moose and kept me informed. Will continue to use her for Mr moose”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life but I do not currently have one. I dog sit when I am home for college of all sorts. I currently work a part time job in my home town monday-wednesday. In july I will not be able to do anything 3-6 due to school. I build trust through gentle handling, clear communication with owners, and attentiveness to each pet’s needs. I currently do not have a dog of my own.
About: Though I do not have previous pet experience, I have grown up with dogs of my own and will ensure that your furry friends receive the care that I provide my own. I will treat each dog as part of my family! I have a very flexible schedule currently, and would love to be able to help you and your furry friend with your pet care needs. My dog stays inside in a lovely air conditioned home. He is crate trained and I am able to crate train your dog as well. I walk my pup 2 miles most days.
About: I successfully ran a dog sitting/walking business for years with many happy clients. I briefly worked at Blue Pearl Vet Hospital in Pittsburgh as a kennel assistant so I have some experience on the medical side as well. I am a proud dog mom to three beautiful doggies. I have a very flexible schedule Wednesday-Sunday and am available morning, afternoon and evening. I am not available Mondays and Tuesdays. I can adjust my schedule to your needs! Safety and care is my number one priority. Both of my dogs are rescues from breeding at awful puppy-mill like circumstances so I really had to work with them to gain their trust. Now they can't get enough attention and love! I have a lot of experience dealing with anything from easy/friendly dogs to more difficult/complex dogs.
About: Hi there! My name is Jo, and I bring years of hands-on animal care experience to every pet sitting job I take on. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and also spent time as a zoo employee, so I’m no stranger to animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! Whether your pet needs special medical care, a calming presence while you're away, or just lots of love and play, I provide responsible, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling senior pets, and caring for exotic or less common animals as well. Animals have always been at the heart of my work and my passion. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident they’re in capable and caring hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or scaly or feathered!) family member! I'm free after 4:00pm on the weekdays and anytime on weekends. I take care of my own furbabies, so I am already in the routine of caring for animals. I have three furbabies myself, so I'm well-versed in the different personalities each animal can have. I don't provide a one-size-fits-all approach to caring for animals - I tailor my care to the specific needs of each pet.

I have four dogs and one cat at home that will be separated from your pets at all times. All of my dogs are friendly but to ensure safety of your pet they will be just spending time with me!
“Salena is a very trustworthy and responsible person. She is on time, patient and kind! We trust her with our 11 month only Golden. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, from pint-sized Corgis to giant, gentle Great Pyrenees. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments and sizes, and I’m confident in administering oral medications and reinforcing basic house training. I also have two cats of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate looking after your furry family members. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or just some comforting company, I’m here to help make your life a little easier, and give your pets the love and care they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own and can’t wait to meet yours! I work a full time job so currently I am available on my days off each week and also before and after work! I will try to make your schedule work with mine as best as I can and what’s best for you fur-family I am looking forward to meeting you pets! I am able to offer dog walking, potty break drop ins, food and oral medication drop in, as well as full day doggy daycare. Your dogs will get plenty of play and mental stimulation to tire them out for the day but also make them feel loved and cherished! Each animal is different and requires a different approach and I think it’s all about making them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment!
About: I've worked with my older sibling at her various animal care jobs since I was 12. I've had pets of all sorts since 4 and if you need me to do anything just ask and I'll do it. I'm currently in school, so I'm available 5-6 am, and 4-10 pm. I can get up early to walk or check on your animals and I can do the same once I'm home from school. I have another dog who is the sweetest thing, I can bathe, pill, groom, trim and crate all dogs. Ask me anything and I will do it to the best of my ability.
