House Sitting in Springdale

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve also had the privilege of working at a doggy daycare/boarding business for several summers, where I absolutely loved caring for clients’ pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. If you have concerns about a senior dog, don’t worry—I’m very comfortable following specific schedules, administering routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime or a calm, gentle companion, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!!! I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m typically available Monday through Friday at any time, and I can accommodate a variety of routines and needs. While I prefer weekdays, I may be able to help on weekends with advance notice I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, or any specific care your pet needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I keep a clean and secure environment, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly handled. During walks, I stay alert and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet protected.

“Michael was so amazing with our dog & cat. He sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were away, took our dog on walks, for car rides & administered her daily medication. Michael was so flexible & understanding of my obsessive dog mom requests. We are so grateful to have had his help & will absolutely be having him sit for us again!”

“Autumn did fantastic staying in my home with my dog and cat! She was on time, checked in with me, sent lots of pics, and was very responsive the entire time. I felt comfortable with her taking care of my house and pets. My cat got her medication as needed and my dog got plenty of walks and attention. I booked her again shortly after the first stay. Highly recommend Autumn to take care of your babies!”

“Natalie was honestly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had on Rover, hands down. She came to meet my fur babes twice before the stay, which immediately put me at ease. She’s just really thoughtful and has such a calm, natural way with animals, you can tell right away she knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares. While I was away, she kept me updated and everything felt easy and stress free the whole time. At one point I even had a perishable package delivered and she took care of it without me even asking, which just says a lot about how attentive she is. But honestly, the biggest thing is how much my pets liked her. That’s always the real test, and they were totally comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her stay with them again in a heartbeat.”

“She did a great job taking care of our pets-one having separation anxiety and some medication needs. She also took great care of the house. Great communicator and will use again for sure!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I grew up with dogs and over the last 10+ years became a huge cat person as well, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and walks throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I currently have two cats, so I understand how important it is to trust someone treating your pets like family. I’m dependable, patient, active, and love spending time outdoors getting exercise with pets while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting in your home depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy getting my steps in and staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to while making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, calm, and supervised environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I do currently have two cats, so I ask that dogs staying with me are cat-friendly. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routine, follow feeding/walking instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I believe pets should feel safe, loved, and treated like family in any environment. I have a pet-friendly backyard space for supervised outdoor time, walks, and play. Since the yard is not fenced in, safety and supervision are always a priority.

“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”

“I simply cannot say enough about the awesome-ness that is Sandra! My ole Graydee Daner is not much of a people person as she ages, so finding someone who would take on a cranky, anxious, extremely large dog while we went on a week long vacation was super stressful. My dog fell in love with Sandra and they became fast friends. Sandra stayed in our home and it was just as we had left it when we came back. Very professional and full of love for the pets she cares for.”

“Tyler took great care of our furry pack! Our 3 dogs felt comfortable with Tyler quickly. He is friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our week away, our pets were relaxed and happy.”

Judy R.

“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”

“Gabrielle was communicative and took good care of our cats. She also made sure to send updates and pictures.”

Brandon W.

“Caitlin was amazing! She is the best sitter I got on Rover! She stayed hours making company to my cat Leia and I have no words to thank her for being so loving with her.”

Andreia S.

“Alison was great. Alison provided daily check-ins and photos of our dogs. It was comforting to know our dogs were in their own home being cared for while we were away.”

Courtney R.

“Salem went above & beyond for our family! They took care of our dogs & made our dogs feel secure & safe. Thank you, Salem! We will hire you again”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued a 6 year old white Labrador named “Zorro” who we brought before Covid began. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I’m currently very flexible with my schedule until June 15th as I recently relocated to Pittsburgh to start my residency training. I will be able to work around a time and a schedule post June and will be open to taking care of your pet as per your need and happy to coordinate a schedule with you with my availability. I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.

“Samantha was very accommodating to our last-minute changes. She even made a trip out to meet Laila since we would be leaving before she first arrived. She sent a picture and messages during our time away from our fur baby. I’m so pleased with how well this worked out because for the last several years, my husband would only plan a trip away together if one of our kids was able to take of Laila. Now we have another option and will definitely be using Samantha again.”

About: Growing up family and friends of the family always gave me the responsibility of caring for their pets whenever they may needed. I grew up with having pets of my own as well. I always had a cat and a dog or two. My family had Whippets and a Doberman. Along with dogs and cats I always kept fish, and a reptile of sorts. I enjoy the science behind pet keeping along with the companionship. If trusted with your pet I can promise they will be loved as if they were my own, because that’s what they deserve! I work a block away from my home. I wake up a few hours before I’m due so I can take care of everyone. I’m home every lunch break for walks and pets then back home about 3 hours after that. My cat always has full reign on the house and my dog has a private bedroom with crate for when I leave. A nice sized fenced in private back yard great makes for a good playtime or potty break.

About: Located in Bloomfield / Shadyside — I’ve had over 10 cats in my life (many of whom lived to 18+!) as well as 2 dogs. I’ve pet-sat for all kinds of dogs, cats, and fish for neighbors and friends. Feel free to reach out and I can drop by to feed and play with the cat, take the dog for a walk, whatever you need! Have taken care of both old and young pets. Currently have a flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can see what works ! I have a car which gives me even more flexibility. I’m diligent in following instructions and always keeping an eye on potential hazards or escape routes for your beloved pet. I’m a quick communicator and won’t hesitate to ask any questions !
