“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”



“Caitlyn was absolutely amazing with Miss Honey! From the moment they met, Caitlyn was so attentive, gentle, and kind; it was clear Miss Honey felt totally comfortable and cared for. We were able to enjoy the Pirates game without a single worry, knowing our girl was in such great hands. Caitlyn sent updates and photos that showed how happy Miss Honey was the whole time. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and loving. We especially appreciated how she checked the temperature of the pavement before taking our small dog for a walk; it is details like that made us appreciate Caitlyn so much. We’ll definitely be booking with Caitlyn again—highly, highly recommended!”


“Mariah was wonderful - and so incredibly accommodating to our needs, as we travel across country. She took the girls, (Cher and Dion), on long walks to see the sights and sniffs of the city - and provided me with all the pictures I could ever want. Couldn't recommend her enough and will definitely be reaching out again the next time we're back in Pittsburgh.”


“Emmaline was so thoughtful and on top of things! We had a last minute booking that she was able to make work which we really appreciated. House was left in great shape and we know our pup was well cared for. Already looking forward to our next booking!”


“Brooke was great with our dog Ozzy! She took him on so many walks and gave him lots of snuggles while we were away! She was also great at giving us updates and we came home to a clean house (which we are very grateful for)! We will definitely use Brooke again!”


“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Natalie did a wonderful job caring for my pups! 💯 percent recommend her if you need weekend pet sitting or are going away on an extended trip! I was away for many days and she went above and beyond to care for my pups! She did some training with them with treats and took them for long walks and even to the dog park! Next time you need someone to care for your pups definitely message Natalie! She was extremely kind and loving and my pups were very happy and healthy when I got back!”


“Mick is so perfect for our samoyed and calico fur babies. We always feel so safe leaving them with her. She takes wonderful care of both of them and always goes above and beyond to make sure they're happy, exercised, fed, and healthy.”


“We have 4 animals (2 dogs, cat, rabbit). Traisaun stayed with them over the weekend and did an amazing job with them. We can tell how much they enjoyed (or not) their sitter by how needy they are when we get home. Traisaun was very attentive and interactive with them. They calmed down (and went to sleep) very quickly after we got home, which means they really didn’t miss us when he was here. Each of the animals has their own feedings, needs, and exercise (and some medicines), so they are not the easiest pets to sit for. I would highly recommend Traisaun and will definitely have him sit with them if he’s available! Oh, and the house was spotless when we got back! (did I mention 4 animals?) You won’t go wrong with Traisaun!”


“This was the second time we've worked with Heather and we look forward it every time! She provides detailed updates throughout the day, checks in when necessary, sends the cutest pictures of our dog, and most importantly, makes our dog feel loved while we're away. She handles working with an elderly dog with grace, especially given his medication schedule and separation anxiety. We know our dog is in fabulous capable hands while we're gone. She's a delight to have as a house guest and goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks for your help, Heather!”


“Carol was very thorough and communicative! I loved receiving photos throughout the day while she took care of them. We would be happy to book with her again!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11 years old. I have two dogs of my own and have grown up around a lot of animals. I have lots of experience cat-sitting and dog-sitting/walking for neighbors and family members throughout the years. I'm working full-time but am working remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for all of your pet related needs during lunchtime or after-work hours on weekdays. I will do my best to make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy at your home when I come in to visit/walk them. Refreshing the food, water, and anything else as needed.

“Sydney was phenomenal. She kept us updated about our pets throughout our trip and kept them happy and safe. She took great care of our home as well.”


“Olivia G. provided an awesome house-sitting experience for my fur babies! They loved her a lot and she took really great care of them and went above and beyond. She was also very communicative and provided me with lots of updates. We will definitely be booking again with Olivia!”


“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”


“Rose was amazing with our 9-month-old puppy, Oakley. He was very anxious and shy, but she did a great job taking care of him and making him feel comfortable by the end of the stay!”


“Riley was a perfect sitter for my pup! She was extremely flexible and easy to communicate with. She gave daily updates and was quick to respond to questions. And most importantly, she took really good care of Merle, even handling his thunderstorm anxiety with terrific skill and patience. Snowy is a sweetheart and a great companion pup - Merle had a great time hanging with them for the week!”


“Lindsay took great care of our senior cat while staying at our house overnight. She left the house spotless and was great at communication. Would absolutely recommend!”


About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.

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:)

Rachel M.
“Rachel has dog sat both of my dogs for several years. She is great with them! On top of just walking them, she has done several overnights and each time it's a relief knowing my dogs are in good hands. She is attentive to their needs and follows through with any special requests I have for my dogs. She also will communicate frequent updates on how the dogs are doing while I'm away. I especially enjoy the pictures she'll send of them during their walks, playtime, etc. Rachel is a huge animal lover and it carries over to her care of my dogs. I highly recommend Rachel and will continue to use her help myself.”
