“Alexander was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous at first. I have a Great Dane and she is my animal child so, like any pet parent, you want the best for them. My dog was very hesitant at first because she was on guard and protecting her home. I left treats at the door just in case. Alexander was so patient with her and feed her treats to gain her trust. As the days went on, the "check-in" photos made my heart smile. I could see London letting her guard down her guard and that was all because of how sweet he was. I will certaintly use him again!”
“Regan has been walking my dog for months! I love having her. During that time my puppy was just 12 weeks old when we started and she’s been so flexible along the way as my puppy learned & grew. Thanks Regan!! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Dmitra was wonderful with our cat, Lily! Very easy to communicate with and provided lots of cuddles while we were away. We hope to use her services on future trips.”
“Cori was super responsive on short notice, generous with her time/updates, and snuggled our big cat like he was her own! Thanks so much for taking care of him while we were away!!”
“Natalie took excellent care of our cat Milo while we were away. She was very detailed in her updates and even brought in a package that was delivered in our absence. I will definitely use Natalie again!”
“Ashley was great! She made time for a meet and greet prior to the visits. My pets warmed up to her and she was very patient with my boy cat who takes a little bit of time to adjust to new people. Very thankful and couldn't recommend her enough.”
“I can’t recommend Jordan enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my cats while I was away and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. She sent frequent updates and the cutest photos, which really helped me feel connected even from afar. It was clear my cats were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Jordan went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for her care and attention to detail. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Jennifer is the most reliable dog sitter I ever had. Her flexibility was extremely beneficial for our family to leave our furry families with her when we were out of town. Whoever hires Jennifer would feel will enjoy stress-free time away.”
“Linnea is the real deal! She did drop in visits for our almost two year old pittie Lucy and I could not have asked for a more capable and professional person for the job. An added bonus is that she loves to teach dogs new commands in addition to caring for them and showing them love. Linnea was spectacular and a high recommend!”
“Lauren is an amazing sitter! She dropped in on our pup for 5 days and took great care of her as well as keeping her company with snuggles and her toys! She was on time every day and followed all instructions we left for her. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone!”
“Kristen was amazing: she was reachable, and very easy to work with. When my dog Petey was anxious and scared, she was patient with him and very calm. She was able to contact me with photos and updates throughout her drop in visit, and was very professional. Thanks for being so understanding Kristen!”
“Rachel was very communicative and sent us lots of nice pics of our cat on her visits! She helped us out last minute and we couldn’t have been happier having her check on our cat while we were away.”
About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.
About: Welcome! My name is Jeni, and I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with dogs of all ages — from wiggly puppies to wise senior pups. I love every single dog I meet, and The Burgh Wag Club is my way of using that passion to help our Pittsburgh community. Every walk and check-in is done with care, attention, and patience. I provide regular updates and plenty of photos so you can feel confident your pup is happy and safe. If your dog has special needs, just let me know — I’ll make sure they get the personalized care they deserve. Because here, every dog is family. I work a half remote job, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet sitting and dog walking into my daily routine. Most days, I’m able to arrange my work hours around your pet’s needs whether that means midday walks, morning potty breaks, or evening visits. This flexibility ensures your pet gets consistent, reliable care without long waits between visits. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I believe in creating a calm, happy, and reassuring environment for every dog in my care, whether we’re walking through the neighborhood or simply hanging out together at home. I’m attentive to their body language, pace, and needs, ensuring they always feel safe and understood. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same love and respect I give my own, with their safety and comfort at the heart of every interaction.

His calm and respectful nature seems to appeal to every animal we have ever come across. He handles the cats he has cat sit for as well as our friends' reactive dog exceptionally well.
