“I think Lucy enjoyed her stay much more than others in the past. She got to sleep in a real bed w stuffed animals, just like she does at home. Thank you Sarah for the pics ( just got another today as Canada delayed some of my texts). I would recommend Sarah to anyone!”
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“Melanie and Eric were so loving and caring with our anxious and reactive boy Walter! It was Walter’s first time away and I knew he was in good hands. They sent updates and were very responsive to messages. Couldn’t be happier!”
“Megan did a fantastic job caring for Stevie. We had a thorough conversation beforehand about her needs, expectations, and what to bring, which immediately put me at ease. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, and it was clear that Stevie was happy and well cared for. She absolutely loved spending time with Megan and her dogs, and I’m sure he’d be thrilled to stay with them again. It truly felt like leaving him with a trusted family member rather than a sitter.”
“This is the fourth time that we have taken Atlas to Michelle’s. He gets excited as we get closer to dropping him off. I don’t know what their “secret sauce” is, but our dog seems very happy to go there when we travel! We are definitely fans!”
“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”
“We will definitely be using Michelle and Luke again! I was worried about our little boy Beau he’s so timid but he went right to Luke when we arrived and he didn’t even look at us when we got into the car to leave! We received daily text messages with updates and pictures and videos. Beau and Belle were so calm when we picked them up, I could tell that they were not stressed at all! I am so grateful we found Michelle and Luke, such wonderful people! We will definitely be using them again!”
“Christina and Daniel took great care of Copper and Zoey! We got updates with pictures and they really enjoyed their time on the farm. We will definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Highly recommend. Our boy was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. He loved playing with her dogs and actually came home pretty tired from all the activity. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”
“Jessica and Theodore took great care of Norton and he seemed to love all the attention from their four young children. They sent lots of pics and updates and I felt very reassured that he was in good hands.”
“Brittany was great and would definitely book with her again! I have a high maintenance GSD and had no concerns leaving him with her for a few days. He came home happy as a clam.”
“She was amazing with my Tucker. He is very energetic and he was very happy. Fast responses to texts and plenty of pictures. Tucker was very sad to leave. Will definitely use her again.”
“Debbie and Adam are absolutely wonderful. Our dog, Wyatt has stayed at their home multiple times. They are very accommodating and responsive. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter!”
“Jessica was so great with my dog! She kept me updated with pictures and little messages about the day. I would definitely recommend her and hopefully get to use her services again!”
“Raeann took such good care of my chihuahua Mojo while I was away! It’s the only time I’ve ever had someone else watching him where I didn’t worry about him constantly. She sent me multiple pictures/updates each day and I could tell he was relaxed and engaged. I appreciated that she checked with me if certain outings were ok (like taking him on trips in the car) and she made sure his important instructions were followed. He was clearly VERY loved and had all of his emotional and physical needs met. He settled right back in at home without any “where were you how could you have left me” like he has in the past before Raeann. Thank you again!”
“My booking request was super last minute because my previous arrangements fell through, and Augusta was originally not available but reached back out to me later on to tell me she would be able to if I still needed it which I greatly appreciated! She was great with Bobble and communicated very regularly about how he was doing!”

About: *Hello! My name is Jessica and I cannot wait to pet sit for you! I have roughly 15 years of experience with pet/house sitting. With me, you'll be able to enjoy vacation, spend time with family, or whatever it may be with reassurance and a sigh of relief knowing that your little furry family member is in good hands. *I started off many years ago cat sitting for 2 cats and one of them needed a lot of care including medication twice a day. Over the years, that led to dog sitting 2 dogs. Pretty soon, that family referred me to another family, they did the same, and next thing I know I had about 4 different families that I was sitting for. I recently took some time off, but I am ready to start again! *For my job, I start at midnight until usually 8:30am. At some point during the day, I do online college courses (I'm done with schooling at the end of this year), so that means I will be able to spend basically the entire day with your pet! *Not only will booking with me help you, but it also benefits me because I thoroughly enjoy being around animals. Where I live, I am not allowed pets so anytime I am able to help people and it so happens to involve an animal, I am happy! *For pricing, I'm willing to talk about it. I will work with you especially if you have any additional services that may need done like cleaning up your house, etc. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you consider me when choosing a pet sitter. I work full time but start at midnight until 8:30am. That gives me the ability to be able to be at your house all day with your pet(s)! That means they won't be lonely while you're gone! In your house, I will give your dog all the comfort that it needs because I'm sure not having their owner around will be an adjustment at first. I am able to take your pet on as many walks as needed, follow whatever food schedule that is required, and have as much cuddle time as they let me! I would care for your pet with the mindset that this is a little family member and treat it with the kindness and respect all animals deserve and I never bring anyone else over to the client's house.
“I was nervous to leave my two cats alone for a long weekend but Molly was great with both of them. Even my shy girl came around to her by the end of the weekend! From the meet and greet through the entire weekend I was away, Molly was great with communication and taking care of both my fur babies. Will definitely rebook with her for future trips!”
“Kimberly was great with our senior cat Whiskey! He can be very high maintenance and requires several medications that she all handled with ease. She was super responsive and thorough and we appreciate her help!”
About: I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability 7 days a week for drop ins and walks! All of my employees at my former full time job took advantage of the opportunity to bring their dog to work with them. I spent most days at work caring for my employees' fur babies in the office while they repair vehicles. It gives them the chance to spend time with their pups even when they're away from home 8+ hours per day. I have experience with breeds of all sizes, including massive breeds such as great danes. I often tell people "My life revolves around cars, trucks, & dogs." I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability! I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies and give them the love & exercise that they deserve! I currently don’t offer any services in my own home due to my own dogs’ territorial personalities, but I look forward to being welcomed into my clients homes!
About: I live on a farm and have had animals my whole life. I currently have two young dogs. I care for pets of other family members while they are away.

Safety for your pet is my priority, I also want your pet to be happy and feel loved while you are away. I will provide play and exercise for your pet, just let me know what type of games they enjoy!
About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I bring the same patience, gentleness, and respect to caring for cats, especially those who are shy, senior, or need time to build trust. I’m calm, observant, and always move at the pet’s pace to ensure they feel safe and seen.
“First time working with Jarett, he spent a lot more time than we expected him to just building trust and relationship with our dogs. He’s very prompt at communication and sending photos. Everything happened exactly how we asked him to.”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019, including caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I understand that some cats are social right away while others need patience, quiet, and space to warm up. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent check-ins, feeding, litter care, playtime, and updates while you are away. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I genuinely enjoy caring for other people’s pets and treating them with the same attention and respect I would want for my own.
“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!”

About: I will be on maternity leave starting in June and plan to return around August. Depending on how things go and how I'm feeling, I may return a little sooner. I may be new to professional dog sitting, but I have hands-on experience caring for one dog at home who is a female and is fixed. She is very friendly and social, which has helped me learn how to manage different personalities and energy levels. I truly love animals and treat them like family.

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 32lb female Siberian Husky & a Designer Breed 15lb female Pomsky. They are both crate trained & house trained. Both are fully registered 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 (about 14) & required a lot of extra love, care & attention also. So I am also compassionate about animals that need some extra loving. *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 dragons 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 potty breaks, 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.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds from rescues, seniors, puppies, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for cats and some smaller animals and reptiles. Feel free to ask me about your other pets and I’ll let you know honestly if I am able to provide care. I'd be a great fit if you're a detail-oriented or slightly worried/anxious pet parent who wants their routine followed to the letter, frequent updates, and someone who treats your home and family members with love and respect. Getting a routine right matters a lot to me. I ask lots of questions upfront and pay close attention to the small stuff: think feeding times, meds, favorite routes, comfort items, quirks, fears, or behaviors, because those details are what make a dog feel secure. I'd rather over-communicate than guess. I lived with and cared for a reactive dog for 13 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to help an anxious dog feel safe, and how to prevent conflict in the first place. All my dogs have been rescues, and I have a soft spot for dogs who need extra patience to warm up. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've spent years learning dog training, body language, and enrichment, and every interaction is rooted in positive reinforcement. I will require a meet and greet with your pet in advance of the first booking so they can become familiar with me, and so I can become familiar with their routine and needs. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to be present for your dog, whether that's extra walks, playtime, or just being around for company, and I'm happy to talk through what kind of availability works best for your pet! I work from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office. This gives me the ability to keep anxious dogs company, breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.
About: I have extensive experience with animals of all ages. I have four animals of my own, two dogs and two cats, two younger and two seniors. All of which I have trained since young. I love animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am flexible throughout the week/on the weekend, and will be on my first year of college at WVU. I am looking for this to be my main source of income, so I am willing to dedicate as much time and effort as necessary. I am only available to care for clients’ pets in their own homes. I can offer daytime drop-in care and/or overnight stays. I also have my own reliable form of transportation, so distance/location is not an issue.

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

“I think Lucy enjoyed her stay much more than others in the past. She got to sleep in a real bed w stuffed animals, just like she does at home. Thank you Sarah for the pics ( just got another today as Canada delayed some of my texts). I would recommend Sarah to anyone!”
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“Melanie and Eric were so loving and caring with our anxious and reactive boy Walter! It was Walter’s first time away and I knew he was in good hands. They sent updates and were very responsive to messages. Couldn’t be happier!”
“Megan did a fantastic job caring for Stevie. We had a thorough conversation beforehand about her needs, expectations, and what to bring, which immediately put me at ease. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, and it was clear that Stevie was happy and well cared for. She absolutely loved spending time with Megan and her dogs, and I’m sure he’d be thrilled to stay with them again. It truly felt like leaving him with a trusted family member rather than a sitter.”
“This is the fourth time that we have taken Atlas to Michelle’s. He gets excited as we get closer to dropping him off. I don’t know what their “secret sauce” is, but our dog seems very happy to go there when we travel! We are definitely fans!”
“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”
“We will definitely be using Michelle and Luke again! I was worried about our little boy Beau he’s so timid but he went right to Luke when we arrived and he didn’t even look at us when we got into the car to leave! We received daily text messages with updates and pictures and videos. Beau and Belle were so calm when we picked them up, I could tell that they were not stressed at all! I am so grateful we found Michelle and Luke, such wonderful people! We will definitely be using them again!”
“Christina and Daniel took great care of Copper and Zoey! We got updates with pictures and they really enjoyed their time on the farm. We will definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Jessica and Theodore took great care of Norton and he seemed to love all the attention from their four young children. They sent lots of pics and updates and I felt very reassured that he was in good hands.”
“Brittany was great and would definitely book with her again! I have a high maintenance GSD and had no concerns leaving him with her for a few days. He came home happy as a clam.”
“She was amazing with my Tucker. He is very energetic and he was very happy. Fast responses to texts and plenty of pictures. Tucker was very sad to leave. Will definitely use her again.”
“Raeann took such good care of my chihuahua Mojo while I was away! It’s the only time I’ve ever had someone else watching him where I didn’t worry about him constantly. She sent me multiple pictures/updates each day and I could tell he was relaxed and engaged. I appreciated that she checked with me if certain outings were ok (like taking him on trips in the car) and she made sure his important instructions were followed. He was clearly VERY loved and had all of his emotional and physical needs met. He settled right back in at home without any “where were you how could you have left me” like he has in the past before Raeann. Thank you again!”
“Gary is the best!! He always takes the best care of our senior pug Yoda when we go away. We know that Yoda is in the best hands when we leave him with Gary. Gary is very compassionate and caring, we highly recommend him as always. He will treat your furbaby as his own.”
“Joni was Great. It was our first time using Rover and she answered all our questions and just made it super easy. She was friendly, very responsive and sent us pics anytime we asked. It was a very good experience. I’ll 100% be a return customer.”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”
“The girls LOVED their time at Kacy's. They were passed out for nearly a day after they got home. Kacy has two sweet pups of her own that played my my kids the entire time. Will be calling in Kacy again. Thank you!!!”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
