“Buster had a blast with the dogs in the yard. He was all doggie smiles when we picked him up! On top of that, I booked for the wrong day and Richard was nothing but nice about it, and completely accommodating. We’ll be back when we come through Pittsburgh again.”


“Christy was great! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated throughout Ollie’s stay. Best part of it all? My puppy is exhausted at the end of the day! Thank you Christy!”


“Amy does a fantastic job! She is so professional, and my puppy absolutely LOVES to go. He gets so exciting when he gets in the car now, thinking he's going to get to go to Amy's house. I highly recommend her, especially for weekly doggy daycare during the day.”


“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”


“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”



“We have used Adrienne a couple times now and each time has been great. Bosa doesn't put up a fight when we leave him behind and is in wonderful spirits when we pick him up. They're good about ensuring he gets his herding-breed-exercise during his afternoon there. Recommended!”


About: Hello there dog lovers, my name is Sarah, and I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I take small dogs (45 lbs and under) to board overnight in my big old 1928 Pittsburgh 3 bedroom house with a big fenced in yard. I have the sweetest English bulldog Hulk and we live with my best friend and housemates 2 small dogs, Rocky the 14 year old rat terrier and Princess Buttercup, a 1.5 yr toy poodle, too. They are adorable and well behaved and very used to visitors. Everybody eats in separate rooms & sleeps in the bed together, if they want! No crates or cages here, and I’m home all day working. I’ll also groom your pup if you’d like to add that on! I did grooming for years. We can’t wait to meet you and your dog! Please reach out with any questions. At my home, your pets will feel like part of the family. I have a huge, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can roam freely in and out all day long. Whether they enjoy lounging on the furniture or snuggling in bed, they’re welcome here! I provide plenty of toys, treats, and all the doggy essentials to keep them entertained and comfortable. I work from home, so your pet will have constant supervision and company all day. I live with three friendly dogs who are social and welcoming to new furry friends. They’re all well-behaved and love making new pals. I follow all feeding instructions and will stick to any guidelines you provide for your pet’s care. No crates unless specifically requested—your pet will have free roam to enjoy the space like they would at home. I’m dedicated to giving your pet a safe, fun, and loving environment during their stay! My house is very dog friendly and an open space for dogs to hang out. Toys everywhere and open space to hang out on furniture or in bed to snuggle. Very cool and comfy with a ton of toys to play with. I have hardwood floors and washable rugs and clean them often.

“Sara was amazing !! She was very flexible with booking even when it was very last minute. She was very kind and sweet and sent us photos of our puppy. I would 100% reccomend booking with her! I look forward to book with her in the future!”


“SSAVANNA WAS GREAT! WATSON RETURNED VERT HAPPT. HE MUST HAVE ENJOYED THE DOG PARK SAVANNAH TREATED HIM TO! Will be happy to have Savannah care for Watson again! Laura”


“Booked last minute with Annie and I’m so thankful for her! We were were able to do all the site seeing knowing our doggo was having fun! Thank you so much!”


“Michael and Maria were wonderful with taking care of our pug at their place. We were visiting Pittsburgh and needed to find a sitter to take care of our pug while we were out for a bit. Communication was excellent, responsive, and the status updates during our pug’s care was appreciated. Our pug has separation anxiety, but Maria was able to calm her down faster than the other sitters we have used. I could tell by comparing time stamps of the care text updates. We felt comfortable with Michael and Maria, and our pug came back to us very calm. We would book again if back in town. Thank you!”


“My dog, Franklin, had such a wonderful time staying with Sara! She took great care of him and sent us so many great photos of him playing. I know he had fun because he was exhausted when he got home. I would definitely look to book with Sara again in the future!”


“Amy was great with our Lucy! Super attentive to her needs and kept us updated with the cutest pics! Will definitely be booking with her again.”


“These two were great on both occasions with my boy. They were able to meet him where he is at with his special needs (slow to trust) and provide patient introductions. We are booked for another day of daycare and will continue to book with them.”


“Abby and Jason did a wonderful job with Finn! He was so tuckered out after playing with Wall-E all day. They were also super flexible about pick up and drop off times despite me having a very weird and unpredictable schedule for the week. Highly recommend!”


“Vidhi was great with my disabled dog,and was able to accommodate us last minute when I needed unexpected emergency repairs on my apartment. She is very sweet and send many updates a pictures!”


About: As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I currently have a two-year-old chihuahua mix. I love meeting new dogs and can’t wait to spend time with your pets! I own a home with a small fenced-in yard on Pittsburgh's Northside, perfect for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home full time, I can ensure plenty of attention, walks, and playtime for your furry friend. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Since I work from home full time, I have the flexibility to ensure regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make sure to incorporate short breaks for outdoor play in my small fenced yard, and longer walks to explore the neighborhood. I make pet care a priority and adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated like family. Pets are welcome throughout the house and are free to relax on furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I ensure they follow their regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. Since I work from home, I’m always around to give them the attention they deserve, making sure they feel loved and at ease.

“Heather and David were great! My pup had a blast at their house with their dogs. My pup played so much she fell asleep as soon as she got in the vehicle. Would and will use them again!”



“Barrett really was amazing. We booked him last minute (less than 2 hours before we needed him) so we could take in a Pirates game while passing thru Pittsburgh, and he was quite gracious. Our Tucker is nearly 15 and a bit of a nervous Nellie. Barrett took it all in stride. I highly recommend Barrett”


“Mandie, Jeff and pup Izzy were great with Soy on his 2nd visit to their home. Our dogs seem to have fun together! Mandie also is very reliable and quick with communication which was very helpful tonight when my plans shifted and I needed to pick Soy up early. I highly recommend this sitter.”
