1. Richard T.


“Buster had a blast with the dogs in the yard. He was all doggie smiles when we picked him up! On top of that, I booked for the wrong day and Richard was nothing but nice about it, and completely accommodating. We’ll be back when we come through Pittsburgh again.”


2. Alexis K.

“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”


3. Christy M.


“Christy made our trip to Pittsburgh to see a ball game super easy and stress free. Met us at the door for pick up and drop off and sent happy pictures along the way. Our puppy had a great time playing and chilling out. Great experience.”




4. Amy N.


“Amy did a great job with my Lab, Abigail. This was my first experience with a private sitter, but Amy kept me informed throughout the week and I never had any concerns. Abigail had a great time and came home exhausted every night. I highly recommend her and look forward to being a repeat customer myself.”




5. Adrienne M.


“As always, Adrienne was great. Bosa had the right mix of activity and time with other dogs, and was returned to us happy as a clam. Thanks again Adrienne.”


6. Claire S.

“Claire was great! Will surely be rebooking with her in the future!”


7. Sara H.

“My dog, Franklin, had such a wonderful time staying with Sara! She took great care of him and sent us so many great photos of him playing. I know he had fun because he was exhausted when he got home. I would definitely look to book with Sara again in the future!”


8. Tia D.

“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”


9. Denise P.
About: As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I currently have a two-year-old chihuahua mix. I love meeting new dogs and can’t wait to spend time with your pets! I own a home with a small fenced-in yard on Pittsburgh's Northside, perfect for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home full time, I can ensure plenty of attention, walks, and playtime for your furry friend. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Since I work from home full time, I have the flexibility to ensure regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make sure to incorporate short breaks for outdoor play in my small fenced yard, and longer walks to explore the neighborhood. I make pet care a priority and adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated like family. Pets are welcome throughout the house and are free to relax on furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I ensure they follow their regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. Since I work from home, I’m always around to give them the attention they deserve, making sure they feel loved and at ease.


10. Annie B.

“Booked last minute with Annie and I’m so thankful for her! We were were able to do all the site seeing knowing our doggo was having fun! Thank you so much!”


11. Brian B.

“These two were great on both occasions with my boy. They were able to meet him where he is at with his special needs (slow to trust) and provide patient introductions. We are booked for another day of daycare and will continue to book with them.”


12. Mandie L.

“Mandie, Jeff and pup Izzy were great with Soy on his 2nd visit to their home. Our dogs seem to have fun together! Mandie also is very reliable and quick with communication which was very helpful tonight when my plans shifted and I needed to pick Soy up early. I highly recommend this sitter.”


13. Michael H.

“Michael and Maria were wonderful with taking care of our pug at their place. We were visiting Pittsburgh and needed to find a sitter to take care of our pug while we were out for a bit. Communication was excellent, responsive, and the status updates during our pug’s care was appreciated. Our pug has separation anxiety, but Maria was able to calm her down faster than the other sitters we have used. I could tell by comparing time stamps of the care text updates. We felt comfortable with Michael and Maria, and our pug came back to us very calm. We would book again if back in town. Thank you!”




14. Barrett L.


“Barrett really was amazing. We booked him last minute (less than 2 hours before we needed him) so we could take in a Pirates game while passing thru Pittsburgh, and he was quite gracious. Our Tucker is nearly 15 and a bit of a nervous Nellie. Barrett took it all in stride. I highly recommend Barrett”


15. Heather & David A.

“Heather and David were great! My pup had a blast at their house with their dogs. My pup played so much she fell asleep as soon as she got in the vehicle. Would and will use them again!”


16. Eileen N.

“Gus loved spending the day with Eileen! He came home happy and tired. Looking forward to his next stay over the long weekend!”


17. Amy C.

“Amy is outstanding! Fantastic communication and our dog seemed to have a very good time with her. We’ll definitely reach out to Amy in the future anytime we visit Pittsburgh. We couldn’t be happier.”


18. Abena A.

“Abena has been watching my 4 month old dachshund puppy at her house during the weekdays the last month. She has been amazing with my dog. She’s very responsible, reliable, and has a true passion for dogs. Her dog Fig has been great with my puppy. My dog absolutely loves both Abena and Fig . I would 10/10 recommend her for any dog service!”


19. Susantha R.

“Don has watched Marley several times and is amazing! He treats her like she’s his own and Marley absolutely loves him and the fam. Plus the pictures are phenomenal ❤️”


20. Theresa L.


“Theresa helped me out kinda last minute and my dog had a great time! Theresa let Sierra hang out and do what she was comfortable with. If it was local to the area I’d definitely have her watch Sierra again!”
