“Kathy is always so incredible with our dog Carmen. She always has several other sweet dogs there for the weekends, so lots of activity! Kathy is great at keeping us updated on her weekend. Highly recommend her.”


“Richard was great. Very communicative and sent pictures every day. My dog was very happy - albeit exhausted from all the playing :) - when Richard dropped him off to us. Will definitely ask him to sit again in the future.”



“Victoria is an incredible sitter, and Ghost and I are looking forward to booking her again in the future! She is extremely thoughtful and truly a dog person. We scheduled a meet and greet very quickly and had a lovely time getting to know one another. She introduced Ghost to two of her dogs and walked us through her daily routine while sitting. After a horrific event at a boarding facility this past fall, I was anxious to leave Ghost again, but Victoria made me feel so comfortable. She sends multiple videos and check ins daily. I can’t begin to describe how at peace I felt seeing him after the first day with her and the other dogs! Victoria is so wonderful, and we feel so lucky!”


“Nelia and her family were wonderful with our dog Caity! Very kind and gracious home, I know she was well cared for. I received lots of pictures and updates on our dog’s day from Nelia, which was thoughtful:) This is the second time their family has helped us and I’m sure we will book again in the future!”


“Our dog has stayed with Maria and her family multiple times and it’s always comfort to know she is in such good hands. Despite the fact that our dog is typically shy with other people, she loves her time with Maria and her family and always looks so happy!”


“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”


“Sebastian was great! My dog had a great time and was taken care of very well. I was particularly nervous as I’d never used Rover before but Sebastian made the process much easier. Would definitely have my dog stay with him again!”


“Christine is a great sitter. My Winnie is happy at her place and has great interactions w other pets while she's there. I love the communication and photos she sends.”


“Denise was a great sitter for our pup! She was very flexible with scheduling and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would definitely work with her again and recommend!”


“Raeann took such good care of my chihuahua Mojo while I was away! It’s the only time I’ve ever had someone else watching him where I didn’t worry about him constantly. She sent me multiple pictures/updates each day and I could tell he was relaxed and engaged. I appreciated that she checked with me if certain outings were ok (like taking him on trips in the car) and she made sure his important instructions were followed. He was clearly VERY loved and had all of his emotional and physical needs met. He settled right back in at home without any “where were you how could you have left me” like he has in the past before Raeann. Thank you again!”


“I am always a little nervous when I leave my pup with someone new but AJ was great with Tater. He put me at ease knowing that my pup was being taken care of so well. He gave my puppy full range of his home and gave him the necessary play/exercise. I would recommend AJ.”


“Tevon took great care of my dog, Baskuti! I was gone for 9 days and he sent me videos every couple days. He was great at responding to messages and being reachable. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs boarding for their pet.”


“Our experience and care with Vidhi was wonderful from start to finish. We were leaving for vacation and our original sitter plans fell through less than a week before leaving. Thankfully, Vidhi was available and promptly responded to the request. She was so accommodating to our schedule and a few changes that popped up. Furthermore, she made sure to make Mira feel comfortable and at ease in her home. Frequent walks, play time, and lots of pictures made us feel comfortable while we were away! Will definitely keep Vidhi in mind for future sitter needs.”


“I have no words to describe how grateful I am with Sarah. She made Kobe’s first stay amazing. Since I met her I found a very loving and caring person and I felt really secure to leave my dog Kobe with her and her wonderful dogs. She was in touch the whole time sending me pictures and videos. I won’t hesitate to leave Kobe again with her!! Thank you so much again Sarah!! 😍”


“My dog is my a huge part of my life and I’m very nervous about leaving him. Dana makes me 100% confident that she will care for him like her belongs to her. So grateful to have found her.”


“Karen watched my two big Berner boys for the first time for a week while we were on our family vacation. Communication was great, we got a some cute photos, and she took excellent care of them both. They are sweet, but they are ALOT of dog to handle!😂 She also has a large fenced in backyard, which my boys need for some daily outdoor playtime. We will definitely be using Karen again! Highly recommend!”


“Amanda is simply amazing! She took care of our mini Goldendoodle like she was one of her own. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in loving, capable hands. Amanda went above and beyond, providing the best care possible—attentive, kind, and thoughtful in every way. We received regular updates with adorable photos and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured throughout. It was clear that our pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Amanda is the one. We highly recommend her service to anyone who wants peace of mind and exceptional care for their furry friend!”


“allyson and her fiancé were so amazing with my pup! it was my first time ever using this app, and she even let me call her before the booking to ask her questions. i felt so comfortable leaving her with my pet. she sent daily updates, which made me so happy! i will definitely be booking again AND referring her to all of my furry friend owners in the area! she is amazing (:”


“Cindy is every dog owner's dream! She took such good care of our dog her came back looking much better than we left him. Her has too much fur and we didn't have time to get him groomed beforehand. She went well above and brushed him throughly before we returned. She stayed in touch and was great at communication throughout the whole booking process. I honestly think my dog already misses her 🥲”


About: I’ve been passionate about training and caring for dogs since I was five years old, learning the basics from my dad back in South Africa. And before moving to Pittsburgh a few months ago, I worked closely under a professional dog trainer, which helped me deepen my understanding of dog behavior and training techniques. I’ve also gained valuable hands-on experience working at Nemacolin (Pet Boarding) Wooflands, caring for both dogs and cats with the utmost attention and compassion. I’m skilled at communicating with dogs of all personalities and have always had multiple dogs and cats in my home, giving me hands on experience with pets of different breeds and temperaments. I bring patience, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. My schedule is thoughtfully managed to ensure I can offer focused, compassionate care for your pet. I’m dedicated to being reliable and attentive, providing a nurturing environment where your pet can thrive. When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on preserving the little things that make their routine special. Whether it’s their favorite walk route, playtime style, or quiet moments they enjoy. I tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs, providing everything from feeding to companionship with thoughtful attention. I also respect your home fully, and follow your instructions carefully, so your pet feels genuinely safe, comfortable.
