“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”


“He did an excellent job! Dogs were very content when I returned. Obvious in their actions that they were well cared for. Would like to book him for regular mid day walks,”


“Brittani has been absolutely amazing! I asked her to come have a visit with our pup so she could meet him and she was kind enough to fit us her schedule. She has always been so responsive and timely, something I really appreciate while I’m away at work. Her daily pictures are awesome! I now have these amazing portraits of our dog I can show off. We love Brittani !”


“Jagger had a nice first walk/stroll with Lara. She communicated well and followed the tips we discussed at the meet and greet. He looks forward to their next walk. Thanks!”


“Annie is incredible and was truly a lifesaver! My AC broke and Annie was able to scoop Goose up and watch him while maintenance resolved the issue. She is a great communicator and takes great pictures throughout the day. Goose loves spending time with her. It’s been great working with her!”


“I'd definitely recommend Alex! He's been walking my dog Millie for about 2 months -- he's communicative and has been very flexible with his schedule. In particular, he's been extremely helpful at keeping an eye out when Millie has something health-related pop up that needs to be monitored, which gives me a ton of peace-of-mind!”



About: Hi! We're Nikki and Stefano. We've both had dogs in our homes as long as we can remember and won't ever have it any other way. We've had dogs ranging from toy chihuahuas to heelers to our current pups, a Great Pyreneese/lab and an Australian Shephard/Red Heeler. So any dog size or breed is fine with us. We love spending time with animals and we would love to get a chance to meet new dog friends and give them the same love and attention we give to our own pups while also meeting and learning more about each different breed and their personalities. My wife works from home and i work in the office 3 days out of the week, so we are 100% flexible with our days to watch, walk, or play with your pups. I work in the office Tuesdays through Thursdays. My wife works from home and is available to watch and play with the pups all day. We have a good sized fenced back yard that our two dogs love to run around in so your dogs will have plenty of time to hang out and play outside or relax and take naps inside.

“Emily is lovely to work with. Our puppy started spinning in circles the first time they met! She is very communicative about their walks, which is very much appreciated.”


“Christof is excellent! I moved to the area and last minute needed to find a new dog walker. I contacted Christof the night before and he helped my dog the next afternoon! He let me know in advance his availability which I appreciate greatly because I am a planner. He follows all of my instructions perfectly and takes into account my dog's senior age, quirks, the weather conditions, etc. to make sure my dog is as safe as possible. Dogs are great judges of character and my dog has been happy with Christof from the moment they met. My dog and I are thrilled to have found Christof! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pet care!”

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life, including neighbor’s, family’s, and friends’ pets! I have experience with senior dogs and puppies with my own dogs. I have cared for creatures of all kinds including dogs, cats, fish, birds, bunnies, and more! I recently graduated high school and am available for most of the summer and over my school breaks. During the summer, I occasionally babysit and I volunteer at a dojo on Saturday mornings. I only have a few small vacations so I am free the majority of the time. I have a dog of my own and do not want to risk conflicts so I am offering services that do not require pets to visit my home. I have a background in teaching so I am very observant and energetic if needed so your pet will have someone to watch them and play with them. I love being outside so I will gladly take your pet on walks and play with them outside.

“Just had our first walk with Connor last night and it went great! My dog came back happy and relaxed. You can tell Connor is a natural with dogs-kind, attentive, and reliable. Looking forward to more walks!”


“Ashley is absolutely incredible! She brings her own poop bags and treats and is very attentive to Finn’s needs. She sends me picture and video updates which soothes my separation anxiety! I am going to continue to use her services, as Finn already is attached to her.”



“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”


About: Growing up, my household always had at least two dogs and a cat. Very early on, I took in the majority of their day to day care, and I’ve since tended to the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I’m currently on the job hunt, so I have ample time to shower your fur baby with love! I’m available every weekday beginning in the late morning, and I have a lot of flexibility if your pet needs some extra time. I pay close attention to your pet’s body language so I can respect their boundaries and gain their trust. I am always gentle and patient.

About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.

About: I have had pets my whole life- rabbits, ferrets, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. I also grew up regularly volunteering at my local humane society, taking care of dietary, sanitary, and emotional needs. I have professional experience in pet care at Animal House in Morgantown, WV while I was a full time college student. I am currently an Animal Care Advocate at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh :) I have a strong love for animals and strong attention to detail. Give me a checklist and I got you! I am most available during mornings and evenings, as I work full time at the Humane Rescue, my schedule changes so my weekends can be different, just shoot me a request and I will get back to you as soon as possible with whether it fits my current availability. I have 2 cats and 1 snake in my home, who I have regular feeding and sanitary schedules. I pride myself in taking great care of my best friend, Miles, he is my entire world and I pay strong attention to detail in grooming and health needs including actively training and engaging in play. I am more than happy to accommodate your pets specific needs and have fear-free environment training for dogs and cats!
