Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Shadyside, Pittsburgh, PA

“Katie is wonderful! She truly cares about the well being of my pet! She makes sure to give me a complete update and status report, complete with pictures. I my mind is always at ease when Katie is stopping to see my cat.”

“Alex was wonderful! Her updates were very detailed, funny, and sweet, and it was clear that Harrow was in great hands. She took some amazing photos as well, which isn’t always easy with the night boss :) I will definitely book with Alex again for my next trip!”

“Courtney is amazing! She stopped in on our two older cats and gave them both medicine. She sent lots of pictures and left a daily review that really captured each cat’s personality so well. Will book her again whenever she’s available while we’re out of town.”

“Hello there! Edan is an incredibly caring person who’s love surely extends to animals. I have a yappy little dog who barks at anyone who comes in the door. Edan always handles him with grace and has a gentle and calm presence that allows my dog to calm down by proxy. From what I’ve witnessed of Edan, I think her demeanor would make her great at caring for even the most challenging animals.”

“Alex was great! He came in and checked on our puppy, Carl. Carl had just been neutered a few days before. Alex kept us updated and sent us pictures during his visit. We will definitely ask Alex to check in on Carl again!”

“Linnea was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated of any changes with my dog Levi and even updated me changes in how she felt he was dealing with his separation anxiety. I can tell he immediately felt comfortable with her. Linnea had to come early one evening, but still needed up coming by an additional time just to make sure he was doing okay. It was truly a treat to have her watching Levi.”

“Paulette was wonderful! I’m a little overboard with my kitty care. Paulette took the detailed instruction sheet and follow up check in texts in stride. I also have an overboard cat, who has been known to climb up a human body in an attempt to hasten dinner, and Paulette showed care and love to the little panther. I will rebook with Paulette.”

“She cares for my two dogs every time I go out of town. I have two larger dogs and we never have an issue. She is very respectful of your wishes and gives them lots of love. She has a pretty flexible schedule since she is a college student and communicates with you very well. I would book her every time without a doubt!”

“Rachel has taken care of our kitties THREE TIMES!! We trust her so much. She is our absolute favorite sitter! She sends the sweetest photos, and our babies always look so happy to see her. We know our kitties are always in great hands with Rachel! Thank you, Rachel!”

“I've known Dakota my whole life to be a kind and compassionate person, especially with animals. She has always had pets growing up, learning not only the work and responsibilities of an animal but also the love they need. (Her childhood dog, Butters, lived over 16years!!) She is attentive to the needs of others making her accountable, responsible and reliable. Dakota is very open minded, accepting, and non judgemental, therefore I could never see her treat ANY dog poorly based on any basis of breed or personality of the specific dog. Most importantly she is an honest and trustworthy person which makes people feel secure leaving their pet in her care. With all these qualities being said, I truly feel Dakota would excel as a responsible loving dog caregiver. -Erica S.”

“Helen has watched Luna several times and has been a wonderful caretaker. She is responsible, timely, and Luna loves her - she runs upto Helen and lays on her lap immediately when she comes over! Helen is a pediatrician and a very reliable person. I trust her with all of my pets!”

“Absolute incredible service, grace went above and beyond while watching my moms three animals. Would highly recommend.”

“Ally was great to have keeping an eye on my two cats over a long weekend! Ally was reliable and communicative. She cared for both my elderly cat and my young cat with lots of energy. Thanks!”

“Jasmine was very kind and took great care of my cat while I was away. She even took many photos and sent them to me so I could see how my cat was doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”

“Sarah is wonderful. She jumped in at the last minute and was really great to work with. We will definitely reach out to her in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Katherine would be an amazing walker for Rover! She grew up with labs and I’ve personally seen her interact with multiple dogs of all sizes and ages. She has also watched my own lab and so I know she can be trusted with other people’s dogs. She’s extremely caring and considerate and will make sure each and every dog enjoys their walk/boarding with her!”

“Kat is wonderful with animals and will make an amazing caregiver. During her time in undergrad, she helped socialize a couple of service dogs in training for 4 Paws for Ability, and is able to care for even the craziest pups. She is compassionate, patient, and adaptable. My dachshund, who is typically on edge around guests, opened up to her immediately. I’m confident she will take incredible care of others’ pets!”

“Brynn is an excellent pet sitter. She cared for our geriatric cat for an extended period and she provided thoughtful care and kept us updated regularly. She was particularly conscientious about changes in the cats behavior and took appropriate actions as needed. We felt our cat and home were in excellent hands during our absence.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was young! I lived on a farm in WV until moving to Pittsburgh in September of 2023. I’ve personally had small dogs, big dogs, HUGE dogs, young dogs, older dogs, cats, etc! I would love to own a pet, however, I’m not sure it’s a smart option at the moment. So boarding and walking with Rover makes all of that possible! I also work part time, usually 4-10PM Tuesday through Friday. I have a partially fenced yard! (driveway doesn’t have a gate.) I also live within a 5 minute walk from the humane society and several parks. During the day, I’ll be sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos (even facetime!) if necessary for your comfort :) I have hard wood floors and tile, so accidents are a problem!

“I always know that my pets are in good care with Melany! I travel often for work and can rely on Melany to take my dog on a walk around the neighborhood and clean after my cat. When cat was experiencing some health issues, she was also comfortable applying medication while pet sitting. Melany is also very reliable and quick to respond. I would definitely recommend, she's great!”
