“Professional, kind, and friendly. My dog was staying with my mom while I was out of town- and Nicole helped us out with walks. My dog was very excited to see Nicole at walking times and my mom said Nicole was very pleasant each time during Mox’s pick up!”
About: Along with having 3 English bulldogs of my own, I’ve cared for other people’s pets for over 10 years. I’m comfortable with any breed and type, from large to small! My dogs are family, and I will treat yours as one of my own. Giving them all the care and attention that our fur children require! I work a full time job, but have flexibility during the work days, and after 5pm work hours. I’m also available all weekend for drop ins or walking! Caring for your animal in the comfort of your home is my specialty, and making sure they’re comfortable and tended to is what I do best! Potty breaks, walks, crating, and more.
“Olivia is fantastic. She delivers exactly what you ask. Our girls love her. They get so excited when she comes in the door. When it’s raining she finds creative ways to exercise them and burn off the energy. She quickly learned our training keys and works hard to keep them consistent. We love having her take care of our fur babies!”
“Shirley is amazing, she takes such good care of our animals and is always letting me know when she enters and leaves the home. She takes tons of pics and keeps me in the loop if any concerns. Highly recommend. We've had several walkers through other services and she is the best!”
“Jasmine is fantastic. She's kind and understanding and flexible. She works really well with the dogs, gives us a detailed report, is always on time and the route she walks provides them with good exercise. I love working with her and am so happy she's able to do two 1 hour reoccurring walks every week. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Paul was a super sitter. So glad we found him to watch for our 2 dogs. Our dogs were extremely well cared for, and were provided great walks. I highly recommend Paul and wiil absolutely use him again.”
About: I've been pet sitting for over 15 years. I routinely watch my friends and family's pets. I have also had pets of my own, including dogs and cats. I have summers off and am very flexible with schedules. During the year I am free most days but can also work around with any schedule. I have experience with crate training. I also have experience using dog diapers on unspayed dogs. I am flexible and adaptive to whatever your wishes may be!
“Gary has been friendly and easy-going. Will definitely book again. I appreciate the attention to detail he gives each of the dogs and their walking/feeding habits. Thanks very much!”
“Olivia R. Is wonderful. You can tell she loves dogs. Olivia is very good with Crosby. If something comes up and you need to make a change to the scheduled walk she will accommodate you if possible. I highly recommend Olivia R.”
About: My name is Britney and I'm 35 yrs old. I was a traveling sitter for over two years and loved every moment of it. I also used to work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for 5 years. I'm currently the proud human of 5 shih tzu's, 2 corgis, and my "old man" terrier mix. All are dog and human friendly amd love to play (except the old man). Throughout my life I've owned a variety of different pets including dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, tortoises, and a variety of farm animals including goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I love working with all animals and am very excited to meet new pets. I have quite a bit of experience working with animals and am comfortable giving medications if needed. There will be plenty of play time and leashed potty breaks for your pup. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Thank you! I have a full time job now, I work overnights so I'm only away at night during the weekdays and my partner works from home so someone is home all day. The dogs we take care of have their own area to sleep in at night and have free access to the living spaces in our 3 story home, it's vary spacious and perfect for doggie stays.
About: Over the course of my life, I’ve owned seven different types of pets, from horses to cats and dogs and others in between! This pet care experience that started in early childhood has led me to appreciate, understand, and know how to handle different furry family members’ personalities. In addition, I have pet at for various families in my community, all of whom had various pets with different needs and temperaments. It would be my honor to care for your pet and give them the treatment they deserve as part of your family. I am currently a college student with a fairly flexible schedule, with availability throughout different parts of the day. I am able to provide pet care throughout most days of the week in general! I am willing to abide by and uphold any of your standard practices for your pet! The last thing I’d like to do is disrupt your pet schedule or routine, so I will do everything in my ability to follow your standards to the letter.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for 10+ years. I moved to Pittsburgh 2 years ago and looking to meet some more pawsome friends! I have experience with fostering multiple kittens at a time and finding forever homes for them! I have cared for young puppies (smaller dogs) as well! I am available for drop-in visits but need to be contacted in at least a week or 2 in advance! During the week I would be available for early morning drop-ins only! Sittings that may require me to stay in your home, please contact me! Sittings that DOES NOT REQUIRE OVERNIGHT STAY and multiple drop ins preferable at the moment. Thank you!! ❤️ In my home! I can take your dog for walks 2-4 times a day. There is a gated-dog park nearby. I do not have a crate to crate your pets, however if you have them crated at home, feel free to bring yours for their stay! Only if owner requests. I can do multiple check ins a day and also send photos!
About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.
About: I've lived with dogs of different breeds and sizes my entire life. My favorite thing is to make them feel loved, which I execute by giving them the care they deserve. I am a college student trying to discover what my passion is. I love dogs and want to expose myself to this field of experience. As a dog lover, I understand an owner's concern for their dog's safety and happiness. My goal is to alleviate these concerns and to ensure their dog is well taken care of so they can take care of their obligation without stress over their pets.
About: Dogs, cats, fish all pets have taught me loyalty. They are the epitome of that word, and I appreciate it so much which encourages me ever more so to treat them with care and kindness. I am a mother of 2 and wife. My spirituality is very important to me, so I need flexibility to carry out my ministry. This is perfect for that. I have a basement , most things for a cats stay and children who love pets! I also have a large back yard perfect for dog running!
About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years. Before that I helped take care of my families dog when I was younger as well with feeding and grooming. Currently I have helped watch dogs at my home for a week and a half at a time or going to a dog owners home to walk their dog, take potty breaks and feed and give water to the dogs. I love all dogs no matter the breed or age. I have puppy and elderly dog experience. I specialize in care for elderly dogs as well. I work from home and have a very flexible job so having an extra doggie at home or going to someone’s house is not a big issue for me. I have a gated back yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company if you would like them to be watched at my home. I have crate trained three dogs and have no problem crating your dog as needed at my home or at your home over night or in between home visits.
About: I have volunteered for many years at animal shelters and I am also an activity tech at a pet resort and interact with all types of dogs and have been there for 10 years I am working part time only and love to play with and walk dogs . I walk my dog several times a day and I am very in tune to his needs I have a fenced in yard and have large rooms which a dog could stay in if needed to be separated and would have no problem crating if necessary. My dog is extremely social and loves other dogs but I would separate when not home just to be cautious

Michael V.
“Michael was amazing with our two pit bulls while we were away at a wedding. Even though they had never met them before, he connected with them right away and made them feel comfortable. He went above and beyond, sending us a video of them playing in the yard, making sure they got outside to use the bathroom, and even staying to hang out with them for a bit. We really appreciated the extra care and attention he gave. His communication was great throughout, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for safe, loving care and excellent service.”

I myself have walked with her and have had friends mention seeing her while driving through the neighborhood, and at all times she has conducted herself professionally. I trust her completely!”

N'Phenitie W.
“I have never had anyone take care of my puppy Chappo the way that N’Phenitie has! She asked so many questions about his schedule to make sure that he was treated as if he was in my care. She kept me updated with frequent images throughout the day and made sure he got all his scheduled walks and then some! He is a very energetic puppy so to have someone who is able to keep up with his energy and keep him occupied was amazing. She had treats and toys for him in addition to the ones I gave her. It’s hard leaving your puppy with someone but when it comes to N’Phenitie there is no hesitation. I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to all my family members. She is now an honorary Aunt in my book!”

Lindsay L.Star Sitter
“Lindsay is a phenomenal pet parent to her own fur babies and has taken great care of my pup when I’m out of town. She’s an all around amazing gal and you can be certain that your pet will be well cared for and loved while in her care 🐾❤️🐾”
Phyllis S.
“I volunteered with Phyllis at the Humane Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh. Through her years of experience with walking dogs she was trusted to work with dogs that were timid, shy and anxious, as well as dogs that had dog reactivity, strong dogs that still needed training to walk comfortably on a leash, and dogs that would become overstimulated on walks. I also trust Phyllis to watch and walk my own dogs, one who experiences dog reactivity on walks and can be challenging to walk due to her triggers. She is also a resource guarder and needs special attention during feeding times and whenever providing treats. Phyllis utilizes positive reinforcement to encourage preferred behavior and respects and loves dogs. She also checks in on our cats when we are out of town and has experience administering oral medication to one of my cats. I would recommend Phyllis to care for your animal family members. Their experience with her will be loving, positive, safe, and enriching.”
