Hi Ladies,
First I would like to introduce myself. My name is April and I am a newlywed (been married about 2 months now!). I'm also new to Pittsburgh, having just moved here to be with my husband. :-)
I just realized today that since I moved I no longer have my usual pet-sitter available to watch our 2 cats over the holidays. I figured the drive from Texas to Pittsburgh would be too much of a commute for her! Needless to say, I am wondering if any one on here could recommend a good pet-sitter for two well-mannered cats. I know it's last minute notice, but it would be great if they had Thanksgiving availability. Also, I live on the north end of Pittsburgh (not the scary bit), if that helps.
Thanks in advance!
-April

What about calling Animal Friends? They're off Camp Horne Road and I bet they have a lot of volunteers or even staff who pet sit, or know of someone?
Here's another site:

Let me know if you still can't come up with someone. I used to work with a lady who did it on the side (and lives around the bottom of McKnight Rd, Ross Twp area). I don't have her number but can get it through a friend if needed.
Good luck!
My three sons!
Hi egpitt22,
Thanks for the welcome!
Thanks for all the help! I don't like using kennels for cats, and the one time I did my cats contracted ringworm. So, if possible I like to keep them in their home, especially since it is upsetting enough that we are gone.
I tried calling the local vet offices and a couple of them recommended Fetch, so I'm pursuing that avenue right now. Hopefully that pans out! I've always had either friends or family where I live, so not having them has been a new experience!
I really appreciate all the suggestions, though. :-)
