About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! I am currently in a remote Master’s program which allows me to arrange my schedule as is convenient to my clients. I do all of my course work from home! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.
About: Hi! I’m Dani — I have several years of experience caring for pets and love working with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve helped with dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, and giving lots of attention and playtime. I’m especially reliable, communicative, and patient, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m available for drop-ins and walks and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I also have a flexible summer schedule, so I can accommodate last-minute needs and consistent routines. I’d love to meet your pet!

I’m presently in school and only taking one class over the summer. I ensure that I keep my availability updated for potential clients. In the summer of 2026, I have no availability on Thursdays. I’m happy to do a meet and greet prior to developing our walking relationship. I’m comfortable providing medication and happy to follow any directions for pet care that are necessary.
About: My first love was a cairn terrier named Zuzu, and I am lucky to share life with many other furry friends since. I am a regular sitter for 3 neighborhood dogs, taking them on walks, staying over with them, and hosting them at my place when they need some r&r from their human siblings! I have experience with puppies who are learning, old doggies who need extra love, and everything in between! I also have experience with dogs with special needs such as seperation anxiety and aggression. Ask my about my 3 years fostering one of the 117 Ross Rescue pups! I have a very flexible schedule and when a pet is in my care they have my full attention! I like working on commands and tricks and long walks. I have a yard and live in a safe, walkable neighborhood. I keep the emergency pet number on my fridge and will keep a schedule for medications and other needs.

Also happy to care for puppies. I’m trained in behavioral psychology and use learning theory techniques to help motivate good pup behavior.

I will happily follow any directions you provide for their care to make sure they are happy and comfortable.
“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid, and have a cat of my own. Friends and family ask me to walk and pet-sit when they are traveling so I figured I could help folks throughout Pittsburgh! I also volunteer at the rescue league. I'm available and flexible during the week and weekends, with no limit on hours. I am happy to walk early in the mornings and in the evenings as well. I have a single cat at home. I also grew up in a home with multiple dogs that I would walk simultaneously. I also take care of friends' dogs when they leave town.

“Yasmeen is just the sweetest and truly cares about animals. She was so patient with my skiddish pup and did her best to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable with her. I'd highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m currently focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m not offering boarding at the moment. I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs. I started taking care of pets for family friends about five years ago when I was living in Boston, and since then I’ve gained experience with dogs at different stages of their lives. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while staying with me. I understand how important it is for pet parents to know their dog is in good hands, so I always do my best to provide attentive and thoughtful care. I usually work best with calm dogs who are comfortable relaxing on their own. For boarding, dogs should be able to stay home alone for a few hours and should not have severe separation anxiety. I’m more experienced with smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) and enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel at home. I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. Please feel free to reach out and tell me more about your pup — I’d love to meet them! I currently work 30 hours per week. I’m an early person so I’m happy to take pets to early walks! I am happy to walk your dog 3 times a day. Please chat with me! To ensure I can continue providing the highest standard of care to my clients, I have made the decision to limit my service to take care of one dog at a time I make sure I understand the needs from pet parents. Initially, I would ask pet parent to answer a list of questions I found helpful to know. For example, what’s the daily walking/sleeping/exercise/wasting routine. I will also take pictures/videos through out the day, and send them daily to keep parents updated through the boarding period.
Wilkinsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Casey is an incredible and extremely caring person. She was amazing with Goose and it brought us so much joy to read her recaps and see the photos of him after every walk. She is extremely trustworthy and I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup! ♥️
Breanna did an amazing job watching Archie! She communicated clearly and consistently which gave me so much peace of mind. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates, so I always knew he was happy and doing well. I really appreciated that she took the time to clean up after an accident without any issue—super responsible and thoughtful. Archie had such a fun day and it’s clear he was well cared for. I would absolutely book with Breanna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
Anna did an amazing job walking my 2 dogs!! She made sure to put on their harnesses for each walk and sometimes even their coats when it got very cold! As we talked about, Anna made sure to adjust the lengthen of the walks based on the puppy dogs energy and cold weather!! I would definitely ask Anna to walk my 2 dogs again!!
Cooper enjoyed his walks with Alexandra , because he went with her the second day without hesitation . He loves being outside. I'm sorry it rained those 2 days and it was kind of miserable. Alexandra saved me, because I'm sick and didn't have the energy to walk Cooper.
