“Another great visit with Molly's favorite all-time sitter! As soon as we pull into the neighborhood, she gets so excited, and she has a blast every time. Beth always gives timely updates and pics, and I know she's in good hands the entire time. It's great to know that your dog gets a vacation at the same time you're taking your own vacation.”
“I was happy with Muddy's stay at Brian's. He has a ton of experience and it was clear Muddy was in excellent hands. The communication was great, and I definitely would recommend Brian!”
“After a stay with Wade, I was worried that my dog Pisco wouldn't want to leave. Wade took Pisco on a couple of forest and town walks each day. He played with him. He took the kind of care that I would - and I love my dog. I was impressed and super appreciative. I highly recommend Wade if you need someone to care for your beloved pet.”
“Faith was absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of my two Vizslas and kept me updated with texts and photos. I would definitely use her again and I highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
“Amber was the perfect pet sitter when we couldn't travel with our dog Khyro during the holidays. My wife and I loved the daily updates and pictures/videos. It made us feel markedly better knowing he was enjoying his time away from us. Khyro definitely didn't make it easy on her, because he was prescribed an antibiotic and a topical cream for an open wound the day of dropoff! But Amber had no problem administering the drugs, and his wound was all healed when we got back. Khyro can't wait until the next time he spends time with Amber and her wonderful family.”
“We needed an emergency sitting since our previous solution couldn't address our needs at the last minute. In comes Megan to the rescue! She could not be more pleasant and while our dog isn't necessarily comfortable with strangers, he warmed up to Megan and they were best buddies by the time we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”
“Zeus loved staying with Jessica. He usually has separation anxiety but he seemed to be calm and relaxed during his stay. Jessica is warm and welcoming, and I will definitely use her services again!”
“We couldn’t have wished for better dog sitters then Crystal & Jadon. Puddles has anxiety when she’s separated from us and gets VERY whiny. Crystal & Jadon worked with her to get her calmed down when we left. They were very patient with her and took a lot of picture and kept us updated the whole time we were away. She slept with Jadon and even played a little bit. We were somewhat gun shy after a bad experience with another local dog boarding business. We can’t say enough wonderful, positive things about Crystal & Jadon. They will definitely be our sitter for any future traveling.”
“Kristin stayed in contact with me the whole time Rizzo stayed with her. She sent me daily pictures, and answered any questions I had about his stay, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Michelle was so incredibly wonderful, I honestly feel like I have hit the jackpot with finding her and her husband. My Griff was so happy he didn't even realize I was done. Hands down best experience I have had thus far! Will be a repeat customer!”
“We had a great experience rovering our 14 year old dog with Brittany. She and her husband were very considerate making sure our dog was comfortable during her stay. Their dogs were very friendly and welcoming to our Lucy. They were very accommodating with our last minute request and would recommend if you need a sitter while visiting Ohiopyle!”
“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have hands-on experience raising and training three dogs of my own, currently aged 2, 3, and 4. I’ve cared for them since they were puppies, handling everything from basic obedience training to daily walks, feeding, grooming, and socialization. I’m a nursing student home for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to earn extra income. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or some playtime in the yard, your pup will be in good hands! Your pup will be cared for in a safe, loving environment at my home, which has a fully fenced-in yard perfect for play and exercise. Dogs are always supervised and treated like family whether we’re enjoying outdoor time or relaxing inside, your dog will feel right at home.
About: I have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!
“Kristina and Mark were wonderful with my dog! They picked him up and dropped him off and even came back to get his food. My dog felt right at home! Would definitely have them watch my dog again!”
