“Ric is super! Saber had an awesome time there. Ric sent pictures and videos everyday to us to update Saber’s situation. We booked another stay with Ric again! Highly recommend!”



“Kathy is always so incredible with our dog Carmen. She always has several other sweet dogs there for the weekends, so lots of activity! Kathy is great at keeping us updated on her weekend. Highly recommend her.”


“We are so happy with our dog's care by Michael and his wife while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Our dog is a nervous dog so they paid close attention to her and she settled in nicely. They sent us updates every day with a photo. We will definitely use them again!”


“Amy was amazing! I have a senior Shiba Inu who is 17 and Amy was so good with him! She was very patient with him and offered updates and pictures throughout the day. This was my first time having someone dog sit for me and she eased all of my anxiety about it. I would highly recommend her!”


“This was our first time using Rover, and Christine made it an unforgettable experience!! Normally we board our dogs, but since we were going on a short weekend trip we wanted to try something different. Christine made the entire process super stress-free. We dropped our pups off at her home, where she let us inside and gave us a rundown of what she'd be doing each day for them (how many times she takes them for walks, where they sleep, etc.). It made me feel so much better knowing exactly where they'd be staying and the details of their care! Christine sent several pictures each day with updates on how they were doing, which made this anxious dog-mom feel at ease. She truly cared for our dogs as if they were her own - she even sent them home with handmade bow-ties for their collars :') Any time we need to go out of town for a few days again, we're booking with Christine!! 10000/10 would absolutely recommend.”



“The best dog sitter in Pittsburgh! Took care of her for over a week while we were away. Sent messages, videos, and pictures everyday. Very social with lots of other dogs to interact with. Definitely booking again!”


“Denise was a great sitter for our pup! She was very flexible with scheduling and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would definitely work with her again and recommend!”



“Coco is so happy to have friends at Amy's . Amy is such a great sitter. We never worry about her and she is always good when we pick her up. I highly recommend Amy for a safe, reliable sitter.”


“My cat is anxious and shy and Audrey did a great job keeping her comfortable. She was very responsive and I received regular updates. My cat didn’t want to leave her at the end haha. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything! 🩷”


“I have no words to describe how grateful I am with Sarah. She made Kobe’s first stay amazing. Since I met her I found a very loving and caring person and I felt really secure to leave my dog Kobe with her and her wonderful dogs. She was in touch the whole time sending me pictures and videos. I won’t hesitate to leave Kobe again with her!! Thank you so much again Sarah!! 😍”


“Nelia and her family took such good care of my dog. She was excellent with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. Nash seemed to really enjoy his time with them. I would definitely recommended Nelia and hope to be able to use her again for my dog sitting needs! Thank you, Nelia!”


“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”


“Another great visit with Christy. Mungo is always very happy to go to Christy’s house and I love knowing that he is happy and safe while I am out of town.”


“Our experience and care with Vidhi was wonderful from start to finish. We were leaving for vacation and our original sitter plans fell through less than a week before leaving. Thankfully, Vidhi was available and promptly responded to the request. She was so accommodating to our schedule and a few changes that popped up. Furthermore, she made sure to make Mira feel comfortable and at ease in her home. Frequent walks, play time, and lots of pictures made us feel comfortable while we were away! Will definitely keep Vidhi in mind for future sitter needs.”


“Sebastian was an amazing host to my dog Jerry. He took very good care of him & sent us timely updates. They were flexible with our schedule for deop off & pick up which was very kind and helpful. Overall Jerry had a great stay. I would highly recommend Sebastian, he is amazing!”


“Zeiydah is a lifesaver! She helped our family with very short notice. Zeiydah sent pictures multiple times per day to ease the anxiety of leaving our pet behind. We will use her again.”


“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!! Rose watched our pup Nathan over the weekend and I will be exclusively user her in the future for any and all pet sitting. The room she has for her Rover guests is clean and very comfortable for dogs. Her two dogs Daisy and Whiskey are really nice and sweet pups and got along great with ours! Rose provided plenty of enrichment and playtime for Nathan and we did not worry at all while he was under her care. Everyday she made sure to update us and send photos which was super nice. Nathan even came down with tummy issues the day before our trip and Rose still accepted our sitting appointment and even got him better again! She has an amazing knowledge of pet nutrition and (after asking permission of course) fed him a diet to help his tummy! While doing this, she even recommended food that would be better suited for his size and type of dog. I’m so happy we found Rose and look forward to many more sitting appointments with her!”


About: I've been caring for dogs since childhood and have always had a dog as an adult. I currently have 2 dogs and the help of the whole family, especially our animal loving and training daughter (I lead all care and activity). Whether it be puppyhood, senior care, or medical issues including special diets and medication, I'm comfortable with a wide range of individualized instructions. I am centrally located in Mt. Washington with the benefits of a fenced-in back yard, a dog park and hiking trails within blocks. Additionally, I take walks every day and our guests are promised to have plenty of opportunities to play and receive attention. I love dogs! Pet care is a part of life each and every day. Times of day are insignificant as pet care happens very early, late at night, and all the time in between as needed. haIve a fenced in yard, comfy cushions (and couches although less preferred), and a crate available if that's requested. Dogs are walked daily with one walk somewhere from 1-5 miles and given endless opportunities to play (and learn). I can bathe dogs as well but shy away from grooming. My dogs are fed 2-3 times daily with treats when appropriate; no people food. I personalize all care based on needs and requests.

“Theresa provided lots of pictures and videos of Luna during our vacation and they all went on multiple walks a day. Luna returned very happy and I would recommend Theresa to others.”

“You could not find a more loving, responsible, trustworthy and experienced pet caregiver than Mike! I have known him for over twenty years, and he is a true pet lover. He has always owned both a dog and cat for as long as I have known him. I have gone on his epic walks with him and his dog on Saturday mornings, and he has cared for my two cats in my home for up to ten days at a time. He even has experience with hermit crabs, fish, and small lizards!”
