“Adrienne is awesome and straight up THE BEST! She is super dedicated, very professional, and easy/very reliable regarding communication. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I have zero hesitation leaving my Lily with her.”

“Excellent dog sitter. My “puppy” loved his time with Rae. She also sent updates and pics of him from their walk, and time hanging out. I definitely hope to have my dog board or visit for day sitting again.”

“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.”

“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”

About: Hi, I’m Valerie — lifelong animal lover, proud pet mom, and your go-to sitter for stress-free, tail-wagging care! I’ve been caring for dogs of every size, breed, and personality since I was 10 years old. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and families have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy, an energetic walker, or a gentle senior needing extra attention, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Animals bring me so much joy — and I always go above and beyond to make sure your furry family member receives the same love and attention they get from you. 🐶❤️ I also have extensive experience caring for pets with special needs. I’ve helped dogs recover comfortably post-surgery, maintained routines for a 14-year-old diabetic cat, and provided patient, gentle care for anxious or senior animals. When I worked as a Wag! walker eight years ago, I was quickly requested as a regular walker by repeat clients — a reflection of my dependability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals of all kinds. I currently run my own business, which gives me vast flexibility and availability to devote to your pets’ needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, a last-minute drop-in, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your schedule to ensure your furry friend is comfortable, cared for, and loved. I’m an avid hiker and live right next to Frick Park’s 9-Mile Trail, where I love taking dogs for long walks, fresh air, and a healthy dose of adventure (with your approval, of course!). For pups who prefer a quieter pace, I provide gentle strolls and cozy downtime at home. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly — I can easily crate your pup if needed and always follow care instructions closely. Comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I make sure every pet feels relaxed, happy, and right at home — whether they’re here for a walk, a weekend, or a longer stay. Your pets deserve someone who sees them the way you do — as family. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry companion and give them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Let’s set up a meet and greet — I can’t wait to welcome them into my world of tail wags, fresh air, and happy hearts. 🐾❤️ I run my own business, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week — including weekends and most evenings. Whether you need consistent care, last-minute help, or an extended stay, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule to make sure your pet always feels cared for and loved. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. My home has plenty of space for your dog to relax or stretch their legs before and after walks. I live right next to Frick Park’s 9-Mile Trail, which is perfect for safe, scenic walks and outdoor adventures (always with your approval and comfort level in mind). I follow every care instruction closely — from feeding and medications to exercise routines — and I’m experienced in caring for pets with special needs, including post-surgery care and senior or diabetic animals. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else, ensuring every pet in my care feels secure, happy, and right at home.

“Hannah did a fantastic job caring for my dog Boo! Boo usually struggles with new environments, but the care and attention Hannah provided made all the difference. She was patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to ease my dog's anxiety. Highly recommend for anyone with a nervous dog!”

About: I love dogs and dogs love me! I grew up with dogs and share my Bernadoodle with my ex (that's a long story haha). Whatever your dog desires I am here to provide. I work from home, so I’m around all day and love having a dog as part of my routine. Whether your dog wants to lounge around, play, or get outside and burn some energy, I’m happy to match their vibe. I go on daily runs and walks and can bring a dog along if they enjoy that, but I’m just as good with dogs who prefer naps and chill time. I’m attentive, relaxed, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so your dog will get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My home is dog safe with plenty of space for your best friend to hang out and live their best life. I'm cautious on walks and runs looking out for any hazards on our path.

About: I brought our two cats, Chili and Lok-Lok, all the way from China, but I grew up with dogs in my family and love both. I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends’ dogs and I heard about this app so I thought it might be fun to give it a try. Whenever I get called on to dog-sit for my friend here in Pittsburgh I like to go to the dog parks near the South Side river or jog along with them, rain or snow, and socialize with other dogs. Looking forward to meeting yours! I’m a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh so summer and winter breaks are relatively free, and usually I’m only “working” 2-3 half days per week. I have to do a lot of reading and thinking so getting out of the house is a good way to take a break and process. I have a fenced yard where I do some gardening and let our cats out every day to chase bugs and birds. My friends have stayed over with their dogs and I just move the cats to the second floor and keep them there while the dogs take the first and the yard.

“Joe was extremely accommodating for our 2 day visit to Pittsburgh! He took great care of our (2) pups and we will absolutely use him again when we are in the area.”

Craig H.

“Abby was great! Goose is a crazy 9 month old puppy and she handled him with no issues. She communicated updates and pictures throughout the day and assured me he was being a good boy which was a big relief. Definitely will be using her again!”

Abigail N.

“Sara is a great sitter. My dog was excited to see her and had a great day playing at her house. Her backyard is fenced in which gave me a sense of security leaving my baby. Will definitely use her services again.”

Lisa R.

“Mariah was amazing!! So friendly and accommodating for our last minute booking. We will definitely book again, our puppy came back happy and calm.”

Vanessa S.

“Ellie was so great with my dog scout! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was a very quick communicator. I’d definitely reach out again in the future!”

About: As a devoted dog dad to my Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Dr. Watson, for more than 5.5 years, I've mastered both puppy and adult dog care from the ground up. Our journey together has taught me the importance of proper socialization, consistent routines, and creating a joyful environment for four-legged companions. Your pup can expect: - A playful canine companion in Dr. Watson - Three dedicated outdoor adventures daily - Constant supervision as I work from home - Spacious, dog-friendly living space - Personalized attention to your dog's unique personality I believe pet parents deserve peace of mind when apart from their fur babies. You'll receive daily photo and video updates showcasing your pup's adventures, nap times, and playful moments with Dr. Watson. Every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and comfort zones. I take time to understand your pet's preferences, dietary requirements, and favorite activities to ensure they feel right at home. Important Note: My home is a walkup apartment, so your dog should be comfortable navigating stairs independently. Let me provide the loving, attentive care your furry family member deserves while you're away! They'll return home happy, exercised, and eager to see you again. As a full-time remote worker, I'm home throughout the day with both Dr. Watson and any guest pups, providing constant supervision and care. Aside from brief essential errands, your furry friend will have companionship all day long. On weekends and after work hours, both Dr. Watson and I dedicate our full attention to ensuring your dog receives extra playtime, cuddles, and enrichment activities. Your dog will enjoy the comfort of supervised freedom—no crates or confined spaces unless you specifically request it. My home is thoroughly dog-proofed, allowing your pup to explore, relax, and play throughout the living space just as they would in their own home. Dr. Watson serves as a full-time canine companion, offering social interaction and playful energy that keeps guest dogs engaged and happy. I'm committed to maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible—from familiar meal times and walk schedules to respecting their unique sleep habits and play preferences.

“Megan is awesome, she’s very flexible and takes great care of my dog who has separation anxiety. Ava loves going to Megan’s and hanging out with her dog Molly. They always go for long walks and Ava gets plenty of potty breaks during the day.”

“Our pup loves hanging out with Abby, Jason and Wall E. He arrives at and leaves their place happy. I would leave our pup in their care any day.”
