Abby, was so great with our Sailor. She has a friendly, confident and warm way with dogs! Sailor loved her right away when they met. I could tell how excellent her caregiving was as he did all his routines great with her-- a walk, bedtime routine, ate his meals, was calm and great when we got home. He is used to us being around and I hadn't left him for an overnight for some years, so it is all the more impressive that he adjusted so quickly to Abby. Also, we loved getting the detailed updates and pictures! We are so happy we were able to have Abby help us for these couple of days and know Sailor will want to have her back! Thanks for taking care with all our little notes about things, Abby! Hope we can have you back soon!

I can’t recommend Jordan enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my cats while I was away and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. She sent frequent updates and the cutest photos, which really helped me feel connected even from afar. It was clear my cats were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Jordan went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for her care and attention to detail. Will definitely be booking her again!

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.

Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!

About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!

About: I’m back!! I pet sat when I lived in Orlando and then took a break. I am now in Pittsburgh and ready to welcome some new friends. I work from home full-time, in a single-family home with a fenced in yard. I have made a habit of rescuing animals (especially senior animals) and my pack would love some playmates.Whether it is joining in couch cuddles or afternoon zoomies, your little one will feel like part of the family. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds. Including a few years of kennel experience as well as 30 years of personal experience. I have experience with senior animals as well as special needs animals, including blind, deaf, mobility issues, and incontinent. With those things comes a lot of experience in medication as well. Myself and my crew are excited to meet you and your fur babies. I work from home fulltime and a big home body. The most I leave is if I’m grocery shopping or grabbing dinner in the evening. I have a fully fenced in yard. Any boarding pups will sleep in my second bedroom in an appropriate sized crate/playpen. This is the area they would eat their meals as well.

She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!

Amazing service and (p)updates from Ashley. She handled my two husky-mixes like a pro and made sure to make me feel comfortable about her own safety protocols and expectations if anything had gone wrong (which luckily it didn't!). She even cleaned up the one accident that occurred and let me know about it. All around 10/10 will trust my pups to her again!

Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!

About: Almost 2 years of pet food store retail experience with training courses on pet care, basic pet training and deep knowledge of pet nutrition. Taken care of both my dogs since puppies (now 9, and 1 years old). I volunteer with several rescues and have helped set up fundraising/exposure events to help rescue pets find a home! I’m a full time student at Duquesne University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I’m relatively flexible and just work around my class schedule. I have plenty of experience with my own two dogs, both being rescues, and plenty more experience with customer pets that would come into the store. I also volunteer with rescues shelters walking, bathing, and taking them to the park.

This is the second time I have asked Kaysie to check on my cat while I'm away and I still recommend her wholeheartedly. It's so nice to get updates while I'm away and see that my kitty is getting some cuddles and playtime as well as her meds and other basic needs. This trip was complicated by severe weather, and Kaysie kindly reached out to see if I needed any extra help just in case I couldn't get home on time. I really appreciate it!
