About: As a previous dog owner and sitter of nearly a decade, I have a very strong skill set when it comes to catering to your unique pup's needs! I am keen on carefully following the instructions left by dog owners while also using my own sensible judgement to make the best decisions for each pet. I can't wait to meet both you and your pup! I am a full-time CMU student, so I'm available to care for your pet(s) predominately on the weekends and all semester breaks during the school year, but anytime during the summer! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs unfortunately. However, I do live within 3-5 minutes away from several parks, including Mellon Park, The Walled Garden, and Baum Grove Park.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having spent several years looking after a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medication, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and cages, and providing companionship to ensure each pet feels safe and loved. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to animal care. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior pets with special needs, I always prioritize their well-being, comfort, and happiness. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. Since I’m available every day, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, grooming, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every task is done with care and patience. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust easily to last-minute needs or extended care, which helps build trust with both pets and their owners. Being fully available means I can maintain a reliable and steady routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home to ensure they stay comfortable in a familiar environment. When I visit a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely. I make sure to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress while their owner is away. I’m respectful of the home, always keeping things clean and organized, and I stay in touch with owners through updates and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.

About: I adopted my dog, Brandi, when she was 5 months old. She walked and ran with me until she was 18 years old and never got sick. I work as a teacher assistant during the school year, but am available to sit most evenings and weekends as well as during summer break. I make sure my dog has a daily walk or two, is well fed and gets her hair brushed daily, and is able to run and roam freely at the park.

About: Hello fur parents! I have been a fur mama for more than a decade and have watched many dogs and cats since I could remember. I'm a current proud owner of an American Bully, the most sweetest and gentle giant of a dog she is. She loves all dogs and cats and is very good around them. I give constant attention to any dogs or cats under my care. To the point where they will get spoiled with love. When they are in my care I treat them as if they are my own babies. I work overnight shifts during the week, which means my days are free to spend quality time with your fur babies. I’m very hands-on and love staying active with pets. Plus, my significant other works from home, so there’s always someone present to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I have a good size fenced backyard for the dogs to roam around and play. I do have a dog play pen to separate dogs if needed. I'm great with first aid, medication and care for your loved one. My dog is not crated and she likes to roam around and usually just lays in her bed or on the couch. Your fur babies are more than welcome to sleep on the dog beds that we have and on our comfy couch too! I like to wipe my dogs paws after every walk or play outside and I would do the same to your dog. Please let me know if your dog doesn't like their paws to be touched. If I do have to leave the house for like an errand I always have a camera to keep watch on. I love to send pictures and video updates of your fur babies and make sure they are well taken care of.
