“My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.”

“Alyssa came over to meet our animals and also met our kids. She immediately clicked with everyone. Our son loved her as much as our dog did haha. She spent a lot of time with our dog nova and also gave our cat all the cuddles. Our dog has some history of anxiety and can be very hesitant with new people but she was very welcoming to Alyssa. We appreciate the time she spent with our animals while we were away. Will definitely book again!”

“Maddi was amazing! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I had to add an extra day on to the original stay, and I am so grateful for all of her help. When I came home, my pets were all super happy and in great moods!!”


“Natalie is the best. Our dogs love her whenever she comes to watch them when we go on trips. Incredibly communicative and a pleasure to work with. Thanks for taking such good care of the girls for us!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matilda was absolutely wonderful with our babies! They were kind, reliable, and clearly cared for our pups like their own. We came back to 4 happy and well-cared-for pups—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!!!”

“Wallis did an amazing job taking care of Olivia. My cat came down with a UTI right before I had to go out of town. Wallis kept me updated on her progress, and was very communicative and helpful when Olivia gave us a little scare and had to go to the vet. Olivia is doing very well now, and I’m really grateful that Wallis took such good care of her.”

“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”

“Heather has watched my doggie and cat 2x. They are great, sends me lots of pictures and updates. Keeps the house super clean. Simply the best.”

“Dolly was great! This was the first time I had her watch my two pups, in my home, while I was on vacation. She sent several pictures while I was away. You could see in the photos just how much my dogs loved her. It was heartwarming to see that she allowed them to snuggle with her like they did. My home was left in perfect condition. I will definitely have Dolly watch my beloved pups again.”


About: I am a full-time Physician assistant student at Chatham university and have always adored animals and have pet sat for friends and families’ pets over the years. I cannot think of a better way to fill the extra time that I have and to help make a little money than spending time and caring for animals! I typically am at the hospital 4 days out of the week and those are usually Monday - Friday, however, an occasional weekend shift does occur. I am open to dog walking as well as drop in visits and overnight stays with you pet in your home! I will treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention that I give my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and you can trust that they’ll be in kind and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! My hours at the hospital very, however, they are typically four shifts per week during the weekdays at varying hours. I am usually free both weekend days. My availability changes quite often and I will keep my profile updated! I am open to walking or doing drop in visits before and after visits and overnight visits when available! Please reach out if you have specific questions regarding availability. I am comfortable handling pets with a variety of needs. I was lucky enough to foster a beagle with diabetes with my college roommates, and this required administering daily insulin shots along with several oral medications.
“Another amazing sitting experience with Kaitlyn! She is the most trust worthy sitter and always makes me feel so comfortable when she is at the house while we are away! Our dog Luna LOVES having her too!!!”

“Jessica was great!! She gave us updates on Buzzy’s daily activities She played with him often and sent us pictures regularly She is personable and we will definitely use her again”

“Mandie was responsible, communicative and respectful of our home. She gave us regular, unprompted updates and was super sweet to our fur babies. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Hi! My name is Colette, but my friends call me Mouse and I love pets! I've been taking care of friends and families pets for about two years now. I'm in college and looking to make some extra cash. I work around my class schedule, that is different day today. I'm able to watch or check in on pets throughout the day and night, and all weekends. I'm in school for theater so sometimes I do go through tech weeks that let me out very late at night, but when that happens, I'm still willing to check in on any pets! I believe in making sure your pets are fully safe and loved while you are away! I have no problem asking about what exactly is the regular routine of your pet to make sure they are the safest and most comfortable they can be without you.
About: I grew up with pets (both cats and dogs) and have always loved being around and caring for animals. I worked as an animal care associate at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in Burlington, VT, where I learned safe handling techniques, gained medical knowledge, and cared for a wide variety of breeds and behavioral cases. I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and smallies of all shapes and sizes and would love to help care for yours. I have a very flexible schedule which leaves me plenty of time to walk and play with fur babies. I am available for most of every day and don't mind commuting to care for an animal. I live in a lovely neighborhood for walking and am also able to drive dogs to nearby parks and hiking trails to play and exercise. I have a cat at home who dislikes other animals so I would only be able to provide care at a client's home.
