About: I have 5 pets that I have taken care of my whole life, and I have taken care of a variety of cats and dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. Feeding, walking, playing, medicine, and bathing, I have done it all, and I love to do it! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to help out whenever needed! I love to be active, so walking and playing with your pet is a perfect fit! I have plenty of parks and green space around my area with places for dogs to run around safely with fountains for them to get water during hot days.
“Brittani went out of her way at the last minute to pick up my dogs and take them to doggy daycare for me. The night before I landed in the hospital and my dogs were home alone with no food and no water, so finding Brittani to help us out was literally a lifesaver and she made everything seamless and stress-free. I am truly grateful.”
“Alex has been absolutely wonderful! He has been very patient with Finn and allowed him to take his time warming up to him. Alex sends me daily photos which I really appreciate, and has offered to spend more time with Finn outside after noticing that Finn was enjoying it. I plan on continuing to use Alex’s services and highly suggest him!”
About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and even had a ferret at one point. I am a dog walker and cat and dog sitter (or cat walker if you would like!). Some of my current clients have been with me for 5 years. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I can drop in after 3 on most days since I am a student and weekends I am more flexible so I can work around your needs. I have a closed yard for my German Shepard and my cat is strictly an indoor cat. We use a mixture of dry and wet food for both animals and have frequent potty breaks for the dog.
About: Hi! We're Nikki and Stefano. We've both had dogs in our homes as long as we can remember and won't ever have it any other way. We've had dogs ranging from toy chihuahuas to heelers to our current pups, a Great Pyreneese/lab and an Australian Shephard/Red Heeler. So any dog size or breed is fine with us. We love spending time with animals and we would love to get a chance to meet new dog friends and give them the same love and attention we give to our own pups while also meeting and learning more about each different breed and their personalities. My wife works from home and i work in the office 3 days out of the week, so we are 100% flexible with our days to watch, walk, or play with your pups. I work in the office Tuesdays through Thursdays. My wife works from home and is available to watch and play with the pups all day. We have a good sized fenced back yard that our two dogs love to run around in so your dogs will have plenty of time to hang out and play outside or relax and take naps inside.

“David was absolutely great! He walked both of my dogs for a week for an hour each day. He sent the best pictures and videos. My dogs loved him will be using him in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for many years — not just my own, but also the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’ll always provide thoughtful updates and plenty of photos. I pride myself on being prepared and detail-oriented, and I’ll always ask the right questions to ensure your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality are fully respected. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which means I’m available to care for your pet during the day on my remote workdays. On the days I’m in the office, I’m free in the evenings. I’m happy to work around your schedule and accommodate your pet’s needs as best I can! As someone who loves being outdoors, going on walks and runs is already part of my routine, making it easy and enjoyable to include your pet in my day I live in a very walkable neighborhood surrounded by parks and families, which is the perfect environment for dog walks and check-ins. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and update with photos and notes to ensure an stress-free visits for pet owners!
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals — starting with playful puppies and large-breed dogs. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between pets and their families. I've raised both big and small dogs and supported friends, neighbors, and clients by providing loving, reliable care for their animals when they couldn’t be there. I’m also comfortable and experienced around children and elderly individuals, which allows me to provide a calm, respectful, and compassionate presence in any home. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel at ease, knowing they're in capable and caring hands. I’m available to care for your pets during regular workday hours, with occasional evening and weekend availability as well. Whether you need a midday check-in, a weekday companion, or occasional support outside the 9–5, I’m here to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. I understand how important your pet’s safety is, especially when someone else is entering your home. That’s why I take extra care during every visit — making sure doors and gates are securely closed, checking surroundings before entering or exiting, and always keeping your pet's safety and comfort as my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your space and your pet, and I treat both with the respect, attention, and care they deserve.
“Ashley is absolutely incredible! She brings her own poop bags and treats and is very attentive to Finn’s needs. She sends me picture and video updates which soothes my separation anxiety! I am going to continue to use her services, as Finn already is attached to her.”
“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”
“Tony has been hanging out with our dogs for about a month now, and they are so happy. We're thrilled with how reliable he is and how much fun they all seem to have together!”
About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! I am currently in a remote Master’s program which allows me to arrange my schedule as is convenient to my clients. I do all of my course work from home! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.
