“I'm happy with the care my cat received from Jordan. The daily photos and status updates regarding how my cat was doing really helped to put my mind at ease while I was away.”

“Thanks so much for being wonderful with Riven. This was our first time leaving her alone for this long and you helped put us at ease. She seemed quite happy when we got home to her!”


“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”

“Ashley took fantastic care of our cat Lenny while we were away for two weeks in India. We appreciated the daily updates (with great photos), and came back to a clean house and a happy cat. We will definitely book again when we are out of town!”


“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”

“I have never had a better pet sitter. She (both of them!) took wonderful care of my cat, I felt really assured because I received long updates and plenty of photos of my boy, and I thought that he was really fond of them, which helps because he’s super picky. She was good with his weird little medical issues and stuck to his schedule and even did the crazy things I requested, like turning on movies for him. If you are looking for a sitter to book, choose them!! 100% would book again”

About: I've grown up with dogs and a love for all animals. Although I do not know how to train dogs professionally, I'll be happy to support any training during my visits. I also have a special place in my heart for cats. Their varying personalities and needs call for someone who can love and care for them no matter the circumstances. Besides working with cat care at the animal shelter, I've also had lots of contact with cats through friends, family, and rooommates. If my living situation allowed it, I would most definitely have my own. I currently work at a school during the day throughout the work week - I will be available in the afternoon/evenings as well as weekends. Although I cannot have pets in my own home, I will respect whatever boundaries and rules present at your home! I want both you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible.
“Wallis did a good job at informing me of what was going on with my pup. It was a smooth weekend and she was super flexible and communicative. Highly recommend.”

“Becca did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away! Booking was such a smooth process. She was on time every day, and she sent daily photos and videos. Would definitely book again.”

About: Hi there! I’m passionate about making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved when their people are away. While I don’t have pets of my own (thanks to apartment rules), I’ve proudly become the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and discovering what makes them happiest. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session or a fun outing to a pet-friendly spot nearby. Your pet’s joy and comfort are always my top priority. I work full-time Monday through Friday with Pittsburgh Public Schools, but I’m fully available on weekday evenings and all day on weekends. Depending on your location, I may also be able to offer morning visits during the week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or offering drop-in visits, I focus on creating a calm, familiar, and stress-free environment. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routines; from feeding and walk schedules to playtime and any special needs they may have. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality so I can give them the attention, affection, and structure they’re used to. I keep things tidy, give consistent and regular updates, and always treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and care.
“Sabrina accepted a last-minute request and gave wonderful care to our sometimes finicky cat! She provided detailed updates with pictures (even tracking down our cat when hiding), which gave peace of mind. Grateful for her help!”

“I can’t recommend Lake enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for us. Every day while I’m at work, she stops by to let my dog out, take him on a nice walk, and give him his lunchtime treats. She even takes care of my cats, which I appreciate more than she knows! She is incredibly caring, detailed, and reliable—the kind of person you feel completely comfortable trusting with your pets and your home. Her knowledge about dogs has been so helpful, too. She even offered recommendations for my pup’s cough, which shows just how attentive and experienced she is. My animals adore her, and so do I! If you’re looking for someone dependable who truly goes above and beyond, look no further.”

“I couldn't be happier with the care my cat received! Kristian checked in every day, made sure my cat was well-fed, played with him, and kept him genuinely happy the entire week I was away. I could tell from the updates and photos that he felt completely comfortable and cared for. Coming home to such a content and happy cat was such a relief after being away from him for so long! Truly grateful for the kindness and reliability shown to my cat. I highly recommend, Kristian!”

“Yiqi took care of three cats in our household over the weekend and she did a great job! She’s extremely detail-oriented and ensured our cats get the right diet (one cat required special urinary prescription ). She took pics of our cats every time she visited which provided us peace of mind. She’s extremely friendly and shows great empathy. Our cats enjoyed her visits and they got along really well. Definitely recommended.”
About: Having lived with dogs my whole life, I'm happy to help with years of experience in dog care. As a very active student with a flexible schedule, I have time and energy to help with dog walks! I also have a lot of patience and energy to help with dogs who require extra attention and care. As an experienced house-sitter, I'm an organized and responsible helper with dog care which requires special attention to detail. Love to help out on weekends and weekday mornings or evenings around my schedule as a graduate student. I will be able to help more during my vacations, so I’ll be sure to share when I’m off school I like to make sure the pets are comfortable with me and treat them and the owners property with respect I would hope for myself. I like to make sure I leave a pet and home happier, calmer, and safely when I provide my services

Kaysie was incredible!!! So communicative, sent great pictures every day, had the funniest and very thorough visit summaries, and took amazing care of my kitty. She even stayed extra on my cats birthday because I was so sad to miss it! Could not recommend her more

This is our second time where we have asked Alex to do drop-ins for our Dane while we are away. I can tell how attached and cared for my Dane is based on the pictures he sends. I really appreciate that and how he will bring in our packages. I highly recommend Alex.

Rebecca was a fantastic sitter for my two timid cats! They are skittish with new people especially, but I was thrilled to see how quickly they were comfortable around her. She sent excellent photos with each visit, and was super responsive to messages. I highly recommend her as a sitter. Thank you so much Rebecca!

Absolutely fantastic! She came to the rescue on semi-short notice. I left written instructions at my apt and everything went well. My cat absolutely loved her. She came everyday for the allotted times. 10/10 would recommend and would ask her to watch my cat again. Very helpful ❤️

Sydney was AMAZING!! My cats are really skittish and she was able to get them out to play every day she visited. She made sure to send me photos from each drop in. She did a great job cleaning the litter area (my boys are bad about flinging litter everywhere). I’m so glad that I booked with Sydney because I know she took care of my cats like they were her own!

Lara is our cat's favorite visitor 💕. We feel so grateful for her help. We are so reassured knowing our kiddo is in her capable hands. Phantom looks very happy and content in the pictures. We appreciate how Lara takes care of Phantom and our home. It was Christmas time and she had to check for packages and dredge through snow. Thank you to Lara for everything!! Don't hesitate to call upon her.
