“Hands down the best sitter I’ve had since moving to Pittsburgh. Caring, attentive and gives you lots of updates. He took great care of Terrence and we’re satisfied and happy we’ve found a sitter we’ll consistently come back to”


“I cannot say enough great things about our experience of boarding our six year old maltese Griswold with Kathleen!!! I was seriously apprehensive about boarding our dog for five days since he has never been away from me for more than one night. While he is quite loveable, he is also extremely high strung as are most maltese dogs. Well what a waste of time for me to be worried... my fear quickly melted with the pictures that Kathleen sent me throughout our trip. My dog looked like HE was having his own vacation!!! lol He looked more relaxed and happy than we did. All the nice long walks and special treatment spoiled him to no end. The only thing I needed to worry about was whether or not he would want to come home with me when I came to retrieve him!! :) He did come home with me, but I have to say.. he seems truly relaxed... I would have never believed it ... I now have to up my dog-mom game and walk him and spoil him more. If you are hesitating to book with Kathleen... don't! You and your dog will be so happy you did. Thanks so much Kathleen!!!! PS: Im sure Griswold cant wait for our (his) next vacation.”


“Amy is truly the best! She is attentive and communicates very well. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her :) My dog can’t wait to come back!!”


“Christine was so great w/ floof. He can be an anxious boy and she went out of her way to do lots of small things to make his stay as stress free as possible, working to accommodate him and what he needed to feel at home. She sent regular updates and pics, he came home a happy boy :) We'd love to use her again for future vacations”


“Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)”



“Victoria was amazing. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of our family and it couldn’t have gone better. Victoria ensured us that we would receive morning and night videos/pictures of our dog. It was so relieving to know Rogers was in good hands. Would absolutely recommend others to leave their fur babies with her 💚”


“Amazing with my little void! Everyday pics and video and my little baby looked so happy to be there! Went above and beyond and made little toys for her!”


“Christy was awesome! Sent lots of pics and updates, gave prompt replies, and took great care of Leo. We will definitely be using Christy again.”


“Sarah is a wonderful dog sitter! She is very responsive, loving and reliable. She takes my dog’s different needs into account. Both my dogs leave happy when I pick them up!”

“Nelia and family took such good care of my pup she never missed a beat. She even ate the first day I was gone---this NEVER happens. Can't say thank you enough 😊”


“Theresa provided lots of pictures and videos of Luna during our vacation and they all went on multiple walks a day. Luna returned very happy and I would recommend Theresa to others.”


“Patrick and Emily were fabulous! Zeke loved it there. They provided pics and updates and took very good care of our puppy while we were away! Highly recommended”



“I always forget to post a review. Sorry about that Amy! Amy has been Kida's sitter for quite some time now and she does an awesome job! Kida simply adores her and her son. Even though I've moved further away I still prefer to take my pup to Amy :).”


“Trish is a wonderful dog sitter who is communicative, caring, and professional. She has a lovely backyard for your pup to play in and lots of furry friends coming and going!”


“We couldn’t be happier with Breanna doggie sitting our senior girl over the weekend. Breanna’s communication throughout the process was amazing proving updates and photos. Her experience with dogs truly showed. We had no worries! Highly recommend Breanna. Our girl misses her already.”


“Even if our Berni was mad at us that we left him behind, it was nice to know that he was well taken care of by Jacqueline. Very responsive, would for sure book again.”


“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!! Rose watched our pup Nathan over the weekend and I will be exclusively user her in the future for any and all pet sitting. The room she has for her Rover guests is clean and very comfortable for dogs. Her two dogs Daisy and Whiskey are really nice and sweet pups and got along great with ours! Rose provided plenty of enrichment and playtime for Nathan and we did not worry at all while he was under her care. Everyday she made sure to update us and send photos which was super nice. Nathan even came down with tummy issues the day before our trip and Rose still accepted our sitting appointment and even got him better again! She has an amazing knowledge of pet nutrition and (after asking permission of course) fed him a diet to help his tummy! While doing this, she even recommended food that would be better suited for his size and type of dog. I’m so happy we found Rose and look forward to many more sitting appointments with her!”


“Sebastian did an excellent job. He took his care of my dog and followed all the feeding and walking instructions. My dog looked happy and calm in all the beautiful pictures. I will definitely try to book with him again next time I'm out of town.”


“E'Ronda took great care of our 5 month old puppy! He came back super happy and had a bath, trimmed nails and a lot of confidence. E'Ronda was very flexible with my incorrect/changed drop off and pick up times and was very nice and easy to communicate with. We were very happy with everything!”


“Zeiydah is a lifesaver! She helped our family with very short notice. Zeiydah sent pictures multiple times per day to ease the anxiety of leaving our pet behind. We will use her again.”
