“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”


“We LOVE Olivia! She is a great communicator, always sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She’s reliable, kind, and very good at what she does. We always know our home is cared for as well while she house sits our dog Billie. Billie loves cuddling with Olivia too!!!”


“Erica was awesome! She provided daily updates and great pictures! I came home to Courage and Bagheera and a nice warm home! I really appreciate her wonderful care and consideration!”



“Natalie took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. One of our dogs can be a little standoffish with new people but they both took to her immediately. The daily updates were such a relief and allowed us one less thing to stress about! Our home was immaculate when we returned. Would definitely book again!!!”


“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”


About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”


“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”


“Lillian was excellent with our two large dogs who have different needs like scared of storms/fireworks and high energy, jumpy. She was great with both of them and made sure they had what they needed all weekend, while sending us pictures and keeping us updated. We will definitely contact Lillian again in the future!”


“This is our second time having Jessica watch our pups and again, she is wonderful. Very attentive and provides great communication. Mindful of our home and keeping things as is. Will definitely request Jessica to watch our dogs again!”


“Trai was just awesome. We booked him for a week long vacation with our giant breed dog and he was great. The house was cleaned up, he was always super easy to communicate with, and even sent this crazy dog mom pictures! He’s just so nice and easy to work with. I can’t say enough about him! I worry he’ll be too booked when I need him again because he is one of the best!”


“Tessa was great with our boys while we were away. She communicated everything really well with us and sent us daily update pictures. Will definitely be using her again next time we are going out of town.”


“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my family for years because they know how much I love to be around animals. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two cats who are my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for you furry family when you are away. I am a freelance artist and am usually doing various creative projects in the Pittsburgh area. Which gives me a very flexible schedule to focus on pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I can usually accommodate short notice and regular routines. I'm happy to work with your pets specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my own home, I can only accommodate small dogs who are cat-friendly, since I have two cats of my own. Their well-being and yours are always my top priority.

“Absolutely incredible and above and beyond. Despite some additional challenges coming up for our senior dog between the time of requesting, and her arrival, Elizabeth not only took care of our dog as needed, she became his friend. She was incredibly communicative with us, and even more patient with our increasingly fussy dog. Everyone would be lucky to have Elizabeth take care of their animals.”


“We are so grateful to have had Allison stay with our Corgi while we were away for a week. Our dog has anxiety and typically becomes very stressed while we are away, but Allison stayed at our home, followed his usual routine as closely as possible, and made sure to give him some extra love. She would check-in with us daily to let us know how things were going and would ask questions if she was unsure of something. She was respectful with our home and belongings and made sure to leave things nice and tidy for our return. As someone who tends to leave a lot of instructions when it comes to staying with our dogs, I can’t recommend Allison enough! She truly made us feel comfortable that she had things under control so that we could enjoy our vacation.”


“Taylor housesat our 2 dogs for us while we went out of town, and she was AMAZING! She came over and met them before we left, and they instantly loved her! She sent us pictures of them, kept us updated, and was SO good with them! We will definitely use Taylor again in the future!!!”

Sydney D.
“Sydney has proven to be very attentive to both our pets and our needs regarding the care of our pets. She keeps us satisfactorily informed without being overbearing. Sending occasional photos and notifying of status changes that might be concerning. As a bonus, we have often had Sydney house sit in conjunction with pet sitting as it is our preference to keep the pets in our home. She cheerfully and responsibly attends to our needs in regard to both. I highly recommend Sydney as a pet caregiver.”
