Dog Sitting in West Homestead

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a routine, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I offer dependable, attentive care with plenty of affection. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're gone. I just graduated from Auburn University, and have just moved to Pittsburgh from Memphis! My availability is extremely open and I am willing to work days, nights, weekends, or whatever is needed. At the moment, the fence in my backyard is undergoing repairs, so I’m not offering pet care in my home right now. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel most at ease. Working in your home allows me to stick closely to your pet’s routine and provide one-on-one attention in a space that’s familiar and comfortable for them. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“Kristen was amazing: she was reachable, and very easy to work with. When my dog Petey was anxious and scared, she was patient with him and very calm. She was able to contact me with photos and updates throughout her drop in visit, and was very professional. Thanks for being so understanding Kristen!”

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my family for years because they know how much I love to be around animals. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two cats who are my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for you furry family when you are away. I am a freelance artist and am usually doing various creative projects in the Pittsburgh area. Which gives me a very flexible schedule to focus on pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I can usually accommodate short notice and regular routines. I'm happy to work with your pets specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my own home, I can only accommodate small dogs who are cat-friendly, since I have two cats of my own. Their well-being and yours are always my top priority.

“David was absolutely the best! He took great care of my grumpy cat while I was away. I thoroughly appreciated the updates and pictures that he sent during his visits!”

About: I have experience with all dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior, with experience giving daily medications in the form of pills, ointments/creams, and injections. I love hanging out with dogs and always follow feeding/walking schedules as requested. I am a PhD student so I work outside the house and won’t be home all day when house sitting but I have a flexible schedule and can sometimes work my schedule around to fit the care of dogs and cats etc with enough notice. I enjoy spending time with animals so I’m always willing to adjust my schedule. I have taken care of pets in their home for extended periods, most commonly over holidays. I’m always respectful of the home and animals, ensuring that I don’t overstep on their territory and I like to leave the home as clean as I found it.

“Erin did a great job taking care of my kitty while we were on vacation! She did occasional drop in visits to play with Zelda, feed her, clean the litter box etc. for the two weeks we were gone. Everything was well taken care of, and Zelda is happy!”

“This was the second time I've had Divya drop in on my cat and I would keep coming back! She is very prompt and communicative and clearly spends a lot of quality time with clients' pets.”

“Keilah is a great pet sitter! I have an extremely shy and anxious cat and somehow she got him to come out and play a little and even got a photo of him giving her a kiss! I was shocked! I recommend her for any pet needs and will absolutely be going back to her.”

About: I graduated from the Vet Tech Institute in 2016. I have worked in a shelter, emergency medicine and general practice for 7 years now! I grew up with animals & currently have 1 dog, 2 cats and a hermit crab! I am familiar with giving medications, fluids, insulin, daily feeding and walking care- whatever your pet needs! I currently work from home part time during the week for a mobile vet! I am also available for boarding any days of the week! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 7 year old pup that will keep your pup busy! We both love to go on walks or I am available to visit your pet solo! I have a 2 cats and 1 dog.

About: I have been taking care of my own pups and fostering dogs and cats of all ages for rescues since 2008, and I’ve been a licensed vet tech since 2013. I do in-home sitting, drop-ins, and walks, and I am experienced at administering medications, including subcutaneous fluids. Senior dogs hold a very special place in my heart. I treat your babies like my own. 🥰 I’m available weekends and some holidays for overnight stays. Drop-in visits are available any time morning to evening. I can also fit some drop-ins around my work schedule. Contact me and we'll get something set up! I have been a licensed vet tech for 11 years, and have worked with pets of all sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I use a calm, gentle approach to help pets feel at ease.

About: I've lived with cats and dogs all my life. Currently working from home. I worked at Petco for five years so I know a lot about pet care. I'd love to take care of your beloved pet while you're away knowing that they're in good hands with a nice family! I will provide updates daily. I currently work from home and I'm here all the time except when I have to go out for groceries so I'm not out for a long time. Your pet will not be left alone for hours. I have two indoor cats who are friendly to other cats and small dogs. I'm willing to do drop in visits too if you feel more comfortable.

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, medium sized to small sized. With at least two dogs in the house at a time, I learned very quickly on how to care for our furry friends - whether that’s walking them, feeding them, or playing with them, I was and still am very eager to do so. Since becoming an adult, I have had various coworkers, friends, family members, and even classmates, ask if I can pet sit for them. I am currently in between jobs, and to fill in time and happiness, I am very flexible throughout the day. I can be available as early as 8am and as late as 8pm, any day of the week. Since I am only offering day care, I have a front yard with ample space for bathroom breaks and a small back area as well. Other than that, I have sidewalks lining my streets, where many other pet owners frequently walk their dogs. I also have a car, and am willing to drive to a park (I.e. Schenley, Frick, etc) if you are comfortable with it. If I am visiting your home, I will gladly abide by all rules that you have.

“While our family was away Sarah took excellent care of our dogs. It was a comfort knowing that our dogs were in good hands. Thank you for taking such good care of them.”

About: Animals have always been the most important facet in my life. I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember and have offered pet sitting services for the past 10 years. In the past, I've taken care of chickens, cats, dogs, fish, and even a frog. As a teenager, I volunteered with multiple shelters and supported the cause of helping animals in need. My schedule is flexible and occasionally variable, but I will certainly have plenty of scheduling options available on the daily. The best times for me are generally in the late afternoon or evening, after 3PM. In the past, I've worked with pets that often became sick or created messes. I am an EXPERT in stain removal and working on damage control if your pet experiences any distress. Your pet is my highest priority and I will communicate not only about their well being, but provide quick updates if any concerns arise.

“Andrea is wonderful! She was GREAT with our dogs, super dependable and provided daily feedback. We will definitely ask her to help out with the pups again. Thank you!”

“Melanie is the absolute best. She took time with each of my 3 kitties. Ensured they felt special and loved. She is experienced in health of cats and is attentive to their habits and needs. She was super observant of them for their behaviors. I received a ton of photos and videos and text updates of her visits. I would absolutely welcome Mel to my home again to care for my kitties.”

About: When I was a child, my parents ran a rescue dedicated to caring for disabled/senior rabbits as well as feral cat colonies. Having a senior cat myself, I am willing and able to care sick and elderly animals. Although I work full time outside of Rover, I plan to offer services weekday evenings and all day weekends, including holidays. Most weekdays I won’t be available until after 5pm; but on weekends, being an early riser, I can be available as early as 6am. My home has a small fenced in backyard; I prefer to take active dogs on long walks around the neighborhood opposed to keeping them in the yard. Cats and dogs are welcome to make friends with my own animals (3 cats, 1 beagle mix) or be separated. In a client’s home, I am neat and tidy. Your pet will be spoiled with affection and play time.
