Hi Neighbors. A few people have asked me to post the list of Pet Sitters. So here goes: We decided to go with Dog Gone Walking. A lovely Lady, Jen: 412 376 7364. She is charging us $10 per 10-15 minute visit (we have chickens and only need food and water fill ups) but she also offered to water plants, switch lights around so it looks like we are there, and to bring in all our mail. Very nice woman. Other recommendations: http://www.aupurr.net/ Mary Withrow mary_withrow@hotmail.com 412-853-0796 Cathy Sterling (1 (412) 378-6785) www.petsit.com, http://www.pittsburghpetservices.webs.com/ The girl, Alison is a veterinary technician and really seems to know what she's doing. She mentioned that she lives on a farm and has horses and other farm animals. Her rates are also very reasonable @ $15/visit. We are using her for the first time over Christmas and are expecting great results. nancytragard@aol.com**** ** Nancy**** is a friend of mine and she is an amazing pet sitter. She gives very detailed feedback to the owners. Good luc Janet Kelly, excellent. 412-247-1638**** Works the east end and has been walking our dog for 3 years. No complaints. Matt McCartney is great.
