“Leslie went above and beyond checking in on our kitties and our dog while we were away. She made sure everyone had water and treats and even checked a few other things around our home. We got pictures and an update each day as well. We will definitely be utilizing Leslie in the future to help care for our animals when we're away!”

“Megan was great with our dogs. Made leaving them for the weekend easier. She was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Her visits were long and played with them constantly. Would definitely use her again. Thank you!”

“Liv was amazing. My boy is weird with new people and she was excellent about meeting him! She even made a point to play fetch with him and ensure he was eating while I was away. 10/10 recommend her!!! She will absolutely be my first call next time I go away!”

“Jana did a great job with looking after our cat, Sook. She was very accommodating with our cat, who suddenly and unexpectedly became unwell. She very kindly looked after him and cleaned up after him, and even came in for an extra visit on short notice when we were really concerned. She gave us lots of updates and pictures and became a real friend to our cat—it seems like he has truly bonded with her. We can’t thank Jana enough for her love and care for our cat!”

“Cassidy did a great job with drop in visits. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in good care with her. Her reports for each visit were thorough and helpful. We will certainly keep Cassidy in mind for future visits.”

“Another stellar performance!! Thank you Julia for coming to make sure the babies were ok. I know they loved seeing you again and we look forward to having you check on them again!”

About: I've loved animals of all kinds ever since I can remember and have always had pets while growing up and since, including dogs, cats, parakeets, turtles, rabbits and fish. I can't imagine not having animals as part of my family. We currently have a dog and six cats. My dog, who is part Jack Russel Terrier, was a puppy when we adopted him, so it was necessary to house-train him, which I was able to accomplish in just a couple of weeks. I don't know if it was my technique or just that he was very smart! I recently retired from full-time work and can devote lots of time to my dog & cats. I try to stick to a routine, though, similar to the one I had when I had a job: scooping the litter boxes in the morning & evening and feeding twice a day. My dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes so he requires an insulin injection after each meal, which needs to be very consistently timed. My dog has never been the type to want to run off on his own. We live in the country far back from the road but, because he won't even go outside unless I go with him, a fence or restraint isn't needed. However, I have lived in cities where having dogs on a leash was necessary so I have experience with that - having walked 3 dogs at once at times in the past. I would never let someone else's dog outside without a leash, tie-out, or fenced in yard. My cats stay indoors to keep them, as well as, the birds and other wildlife safe but, if a client's cat is allowed outdoors, I will do as they wish.
About: I grew up working on a tiny farm, and assisted in kenneling dogs for my mother’s business for 7 years. I’ll take care of yours as they were my own, I currently have two bulldogs🥰 a chinchilla & a gecko. I’ve had both large dogs (Mastiffs) & tiny so the size & slobber is never an issue! I would love kind & re-occurring clients 💜 I do have a full time job, where I work typically until 3pm daily. So I am open to late afternoons & evenings. And if I am off then -any time of day. I will come to your home where your pet/pets are comfortable. I recommend a meet and greet prior. To make sure we are compatible, And can go over everything so I can be the best temporary pet parent.
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with over a decade of experience in the field. I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years and have been pet sitting for almost just as long. From XS-XXL, I am comfortable providing care to all! I am able to provide basic care services to high level care (handicapped and special needs patients) for any age range. I am also comfortable administering prescribed medications to pets, including injectable medications. I am able to make almost any schedule work, early mornings and late evenings are not a problem for me— I know having a routine can be very important! I do not plan on pet sitting at my home, but in the event that I do, I do have a fenced in yard that has a separate entrance to my home.
About: I've worked in vet med for over four years. I've owned animals my whole life and currently have four of my own critters (one dog and three kitties). I currently work part time while going to school. My schedule is a bit different every day of the week, so please let me know what you need and we can make a plan! I have a ton of experience with cats and dogs, both in my personal life and my professional life. Because I'm an experienced vet tech, I'll be able to recognize any concerning signs with your pets while you're away, and I'm trained to give medications if needed (oral, topical/ears, injectable).
About: I have taken care of a variety of pets since I was 14 years old. I grew up around dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, birds of many kinds and my family bred labradors. My husband and I have had our own pets for the last 17 years. Our pets are our family and taken very well care of. Everyone who knows us, knows that we spoil every animal we see. I currently make my own work schedule and it is very flexible therefore I am available for almost all of your pet care needs! :) I am able to babysit your pet in our home if the meet & greet with our pets goes well. Otherwise I am available to care for your pets in your home. This would include, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, meals, bathing if needed and of course lots of snuggles!
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I've cared for a diverse range of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and more. My experience includes working at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium, interning at a wildlife rehabilitation center, fostering cats and dogs through Centre County Paws, and obtaining a bachelor's degree in wildlife science. Also, I've provided pet sitting services for family and friends, ranging from short hang outs to extended stays. As an owner of a pet rabbit myself (Addy!), I understand the importance of companionship and responsible pet care firsthand! Currently, I am a graduate student where I maintain animal care duties and conduct research on ticks and their wildlife hosts. My dedication to pet care is backed by hands-on experience and academic expertise, making me a reliable choice for you and your pet! I am a student first, however between classes and work I able to come and go throughout the day. I am available to do drop-in visits on specific weekdays (see calendar availability) every 4-8 hours. On weekends, I am always readily available. Additionally, I can spend nights with your pets depending on calendar availability! When entrusted with your beloved pet(s), I provide attentive care right in the comfort of your own home! From feeding and grooming to playtime and cuddles, I tailor each visit to meet their unique needs. With a focus on routine and affection, I ensure your friends feel safe, happy, and loved until your return!
“So happy that I found Abbie! She did an awesome job checking on/taking care of my kitty Milo while I was on travel. She followed all my instructions and even spent extra time with him to give him some love. I also appreciated how detailed Milo’s River Card was and the pictures! I will definitely book with her again! Thanks Abbie! :)”

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.
About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.
