“Buster had a blast with the dogs in the yard. He was all doggie smiles when we picked him up! On top of that, I booked for the wrong day and Richard was nothing but nice about it, and completely accommodating. We’ll be back when we come through Pittsburgh again.”

About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.

About: I’ve learned a lot taking care of my own dog every day like being patient, sticking to a routine, and understanding what different pets need. I’m good at making animals feel safe and loved, whether they’re playful puppies or older dogs who need extra care. Since I study IT from home, I’m around all day to give plenty of attention and playtime. What makes me different is that I’m calm, patient, and truly love animals. Plus, I have a nice garden where dogs can run and have fun. Hi! I’m Artiola, I study IT from home, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your pets in a calm, loving environment. I have a friendly dog and a garden where we love to play and enjoy the outdoors together. I’d be so happy to welcome another dog into our routine mine would love to have a new friend to play with! I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and home most of the day, I’d love to be your pet’s new friend! I honestly treat pets like I’d want mine to be treated with love, patience, and attention. At home, I’m around most of the day since I study remotely, so they’re never left alone for long. I have a garden where my dog and I play, and I’d love to have another pup around to join us. I make sure they’re comfortable, fed, have fresh water, and of course lots of playtime and cuddles. If I’m at someone else’s place, I stick to the pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I know how important it is for animals to feel safe and relaxed, especially when their humans aren’t around. I just try to make them feel at home, whether they’re with me or I’m with them.

“Kristina was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our furbabies with anyone outside our family and was nervous and very worried. Kristina sent pictures and updates often to ease my worries. It didn’t take long for our furbabies to feel comfortable. Thank you Kristina for taking good care of Polo & Bentley!”


“Kathleen was great with our dog Benny!”



“Carly is amazing!! She took impeccable care of my puppy all day. It gave me total peace of mind while I had to be at work. Carly sent me several updates and many GORGEOUS photos of Rosie’s adventures. It was clear my little girl was having the best time! I can’t thank Carly enough!”


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.

Swissvale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Domonique was great and very accepting for taking Sam last minute! will definitely be booking with her again

Sweet. Great communicator, responsible, I didn’t need to worry about Aggie at all and knew she was in good hands. I will love to have her with morgan again soon!

Sam was so happy with Ariel! We arranged with her last minute and luckily she was available. She was professional and great with Sam. Next time we come through Pittsburg and need a dog sitter, we will definitely contact Ariel.

Joe was such a great sitter! He took care of our 2.5 month old puppy Fletcher during the days while I was out of town for work, and Fletcher had such a good time with him and his dog Zip! Joe sent pictures to my husband and I throughout the day, so even though I was halfway around the world, I could see what a great time Fletcher was having. It is such a relief to have found such a great option for those days when we need some extra help.

Ellyn took fantastic care of my dog Henry. He had such a great time. Ellyn's communication throughout was phenomenal, and Ellyn made this so easy, every step of the way. Henry will be staying with Ellyn again. She is the very best!

Kristina was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our furbabies with anyone outside our family and was nervous and very worried. Kristina sent pictures and updates often to ease my worries. It didn’t take long for our furbabies to feel comfortable. Thank you Kristina for taking good care of Polo & Bentley!
