“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!”


“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!”


“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.”


“Cheyenne did an amazing job taking care of our elderly shitzu and staying over while we were away. She is now our go-to dogsitter whenever we go away! Thank you Cheyenne!!!!”


“Brooke did an amazing job with our girl while we were out of town. So many wonderful updates and pictures let us know our pup was doing great. Brooke was great to work with!”



“We have booked Natalie multiple times now for house sitting our two fur babies! She’s always wonderful with them, texts updates, and leaves our house in great condition.”


“My dog Serena fell in love with Regan. I came home to two well taken care of pets. Regan always sent me updates, and when I returned the house was clean and orderly. I will definitely use Regan again in the future.”


“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”


“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!”


“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!”


“We loved having Riley watch Daisy! She gave great updates and took Daisy on some fun adventures and Daisy loved spending the weekend with Snowy.”


“Traisaun is great with all of our pups. He gets them plenty of exercise and attention (and they are all very needy for attention, so that’s no easy task). He also does a great job with any medications they have! You can trust both your animals and your house to Traisaun! (we always use him for overnight stays when he is available)”


“Andrew is such a great dog sitter! It's so important to me that both my dog and I are comfortable around anyone we bring into our house. Not only was he able to watch my dog on a holiday weekend with less than a weeks notice, but my dog Lola got all of her usual attention, exercise, play, and treats while I was gone. It's clear that she was comfortable around him, and I felt comfortable and safe with him in my home all weekend. Andrew is going to be my go-to dog walker and sitter in Pittsburgh and I can't recommend him enough!”


“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.”


“Very attentive, kind and professional. Thank you so much. You made what could have been a stressful part of my vacation, very easy. Howard loved you and I will definitely rebook in the future.”


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.

“Jess was wonderful! She cuddled with my pets, took them for walks, loved on them, and sent me lots of pictures! Cant wait to have her watch them again!”


“Kristen was amazing! Did such an awesome job watching our guy in home for us. Would highly recommend!!”


“Darra is truly excellent and I highly recommend her! She’s thorough, communicative, and diligent. She took care of our dog and cat and housesat for us for two weeks while we were away on vacation. This is our 2nd time working with Darra and certainly not our last!”


“Grace is reliable and accommodating. She communicates as much as desired and, as a bonus, takes stellar videos. My pups were happy to have her take care of them.”
