“Brittany was wonderful with our dog. She kept me up to date on how their time went together and my dog enjoyed snuggling with her family and playing with her dog. I highly recommend Brittany to watch your pet.”
“I'm so grateful for finding Wade, as Brooks was so comfortable with him. Wade was very good with Brooks, taking him for long walks, playing ball-even when it was raining. Brooks was so tired when we picked him up! Highly recommend and we will use Wade again if ever in the area again! Thank you!!”

About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”

About: *I will not offer cat services in my home due to my husky, sometimes she’s has her prey drive intact & other times she does not. But I will come to you.* Watch my mom’s cat, my sisters and my sons while they travel. Took care of my dad’s 17 Siamese breeder cats while he was hospitalized as well. If you don’t mind if my sister comes along, she provides excellent and outstanding kitty care. No extra charge for her, I pay her out of my own pocket!

About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and know that every cat is different. Some are social and playful, while others prefer a quiet space and a slower approach. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and sticking to your cat’s normal routine. Whether your cat wants attention or simply someone they can feel safe around, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, cared for, and treated like one of my own while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all of my childhood. I just started this as a side hustle, and I absolutely love it! I love meeting new pups and being a helping hand to somebody as well! I work a full time job outside of pet sitting. I’m gone from 4-10/11 at the latest, and my off days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. My schedule is very flexible, so if there are any issues with my work schedule, it can be moved around. I’m typically gone between 6-8 hours depending on travel time as well. I stay at the client’s house so that way their pets are comfortable in their own home and environment. I do an initial meet and greet before the date needed to pet sit so the pets meet me and recognize me while i’m staying with them.
About: I have always lived with cats in the house. I work with cats at PetSmart cleaning the cages, giving food and water, and socializing the cats. I have a flexible schedule. I am on weekdays and weekends in the morning, afternoon, and night. I am happy to see your pet at anytime. I respect cats if they do not want to interact with me. I will back away from the cats if they seem angry or scared.
“Our 13 and 14 y/o high-maintenance kitties were so delighted with Kristie's care. They took to her right away which is definitely not common. She communicated with us well and understood our action-packed kitty schedule. We felt at ease while we were away for a weekend trip with Kristie at the helm!”

I have always loved spending time around animals, as they touch a special place in my soul. I currently work full time as a preschool teacher, but I am looking to keep myself busy on the weekends as well as a couple nights a week. Feeding & Hydration I’ll follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule, ensuring they get the proper portion sizes and nutrition. Fresh water will always be available to keep them hydrated. Exercise & Playtime Whether it’s a daily walk for your dog or interactive playtime for your cat, I make sure to engage in activities that will help keep your pets active and entertained. I can also tailor these activities based on their energy levels and preferences. Comfort & Companionship Pets thrive on companionship, so I’ll spend quality time with them. I can offer cuddles, gentle grooming, or just sit with them to make them feel safe and loved. I’ll also ensure they have a comfortable resting place. Maintaining Routine & Security I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so I’ll keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. I’ll also keep your home secure, following any instructions you’ve provided about gates, doors, or safety protocols.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Melcroft
About: I live in Scottdale but I’m very familiar with ALL surrounding areas. I’m a homemaker, so I’m available practically any time to come offer care to your furry (or not so furry!) loved ones! Currently we have 2 dogs, a purebred (very hyper) 32lb female Siberian Husky & a Designer Breed (spunky) 15lb female Pomsky. They are both crate trained & house trained as they are both ESA (Emotional Support Animals) & I take that very seriously as to their training & how exactly I want them to behave. I recently lost my female German Shepherd; & a year prior my male Siberian Husky. My male Siberian was epileptic so I’m experienced in offering meds and know that having them on hand & on time IS A MUST for things of this nature! My shepherd was very elderly & required a lot of extra love, care & attention also. *I offer very basic kitty care. I cannot host cats in my home due to the prey drive of my husky, sometimes she’s ok with them, other times not. *I’ll do feedings for lizards as I have had a few bearded dragon myself as well so I’m knowledgeable here also. (But under no circumstances ask me to care for your snake, or your spider!) ***I offer walks, playtime, feed & water breaks, treat time, medication administration ALL in my standard fee. Anything else, just ask! I’m very flexible & willing to work out most things if we can come to an agreement suitable for both sides. Can’t wait to meet the furry parts of your family.🐾 Pretty much available whenever. I can usually work out something that’s suitable if I am not. Reach out with any questions! We can almost always work out an agreement. No fence but my yard is safe, multiple leashes, 2 porches, in a friendly community for walks. Small home but very lovable and friendly and cozy. My dogs are crate trained but good with other dogs, socialized, UTD on shots, but my girls are not spayed so if you have a male I allow ONLY altered ones at this time.

I provide fresh water, feeding, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, closely supervise pets, and make safety my top priority at all times. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

I have 30 years experience in pet care and my husband's family owns the only pet Cemetery in Westmoreland County. It's been in business for over 50 years. Im currently looking to take on a few clients (multiple pet families & senior/special needs pets/exotic pets) that require more of my time, training and attention. Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for . If you think we would be a good match we can have a screening interview over the phone. And then I'd follow up with a meet and greet to do a hands-on assessment on your pet. And we could review the pet care needs and routine. My specialty is dogs with PTSD/behavior issues. I'm not afraid of aggressive or high maintenance dogs. Working with animals is my greatest passion. Currently available Tuesday-Saturday days, evenings and weekends. Works part time as a dog bather, working to become a dog groomer. Love spending my time w pets. Home/family setting doggie daycare/boarding & pet sitting centered around your pets specific needs. I have extensive experience in dog handling, belly rubs.

About: Hello! I’m Anjel. I have had dogs my entire life of all sizes and breeds and most definitely a dog person (Don’t worry cats, I love you too). I understand the hardships of raising a well-rounded pup and I’m here to help! Patience is always key with any pet. Besides having dogs my entire life, I also previously worked at a Doggie Daycare & boarding facility and have house sitting/pet sitting clients that have been with me from the start of my pet sitting career starting 18 years ago. I enjoy all puppies whether they are large or small, young or old. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and do not turn away any breed. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, insulin (as well as testing before meals), and preparing meals for EPI dogs. I look forward to connecting with you! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns! I do prefer to stay within a 7 mile radius of my location, an additional fee $5 per visit/day will be added for those bookings greater than a 7 mile radius. I have open availability on the weekends and flexibility during the week. I currently work in Allegheny county right off of Rt. 51 so I am able to travel to all areas with ease. I am typically scheduled 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday but experience cancellations throughout the week where I’m typically home before 4pm. Leaving my morning availability open, possibility for mid day potty breaks when I experience cancellations, and my afternoon/evening open for walks, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting duties. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I like to stick to the pet’s routine to avoid any changes in their typical schedule. I take extra precautions when it comes to open doors, ensuring they are correctly and safely in their crate when applicable, and accompanying them when outside for potty breaks. Safety is my number one priority as I know it would be devastating if any accidents were to happen and I am proactive in covering all the bases to ensure that they do not.

About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.

This was Barkley's first visit, and he enjoyed exploring the fenced yard and spending time with Emily's dogs. It was nice to know that Barkley was well cared for while I was away!”

I definitely would love to have her watch Leia again in the future.”
About: I am home a significant amount during the summer and can provide all the love you would if you were home with your own pet! I know it is difficult to leave them behind, and will make sure they have all the love they need. I am a caring, dog-loving person with children. Your pet will be treated like one of our own. I do have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves making new furry friends. As a teacher, I'm home all summer, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving environment where your furry family member can feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Days and times will vary August-June as we head back to school. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I can provide ample yard space and wooded areas both behind and on the side of our home. I do live on a side country road and do not receive a ton of traffic. I will also walk or use a tie out as requested.
“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
