“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.”
“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.”
“This is probably the 25+ time our two have stayed with Amy -- the LOVE their time there and have so much fun. Amy is wonderful to work with on scheduling and pickup times. We go out of our way to drive and drop off with Amy even if we are heading in the opposite direction on our travels -- because she is so great!”
“Christy is extremely nice and easy to work with. Very flexible with our schedule and had kept us updated with pictures throughout the entire time. We are comfortable leaving our fur babies under her care. Will definitely use her service again.”
“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Adrienne took wonderful care of Finn! She sent plenty of photo updates, and he clearly had a great time with her pups. Would be happy to have her watch Finn again, and I know Finn would love that, too!”
“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.”
“Sara was amazing !! She was very flexible with booking even when it was very last minute. She was very kind and sweet and sent us photos of our puppy. I would 100% reccomend booking with her! I look forward to book with her in the future!”
“SSAVANNA WAS GREAT! WATSON RETURNED VERT HAPPT. HE MUST HAVE ENJOYED THE DOG PARK SAVANNAH TREATED HIM TO! Will be happy to have Savannah care for Watson again! Laura”
About: I have been working with and caring for pets since the 1980s. I currently an self-employed and work from home while taking regular breaks to walk and tend to my own two dogs, Lincoln and Ginger, both of whom enjoy the company of other dogs. I also have two cats and experience caring for small rodents (gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice and rats), reptiles and amphibians, and fish. My philosophy is to let animals express their innate tendencies in a safe and structured environment so they feel loved, appreciated, and empowered to behave appropriately in the spaces they share with humans. I spent 20 years owning and operating restaurants and made a career change in 2023 when my sister received a terminal cancer diagnosis. I now work from home as a self-employed restaurant consultant in large part to be able to spend more time with my own pets, including a dog I inherited after my sister's passing. Pet care is at the center of my life and I'd be happy to help you with your pets as I also care for my own. My goal is to walk my dog for at least one hour everyday, and most of the time I achieve that! I frequently take him for outings to large off-leash parks so he can get a sufficient amount of exercise. I also clean my cats' litter boxes daily and feed everyone meals twice per day with some treats in between. If I am watching your dogs you can expect that I will treat them like my own.
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a sweet three-year-old chihuahua mix, and I truly enjoy meeting and bonding with new pups. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. I live on Pittsburgh’s Northside with a small, secure fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor fun. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm environment, I’m here to make them feel right at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry bff! Since I work from home full time, I can give your pet plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small fenced-in yard in Pittsburgh’s Northside for safe outdoor breaks, plus I love getting out for longer walks with my dog, at least once a day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I also have a baby gate to limit access to stairs for small dogs when needed. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to give them the attention, care, and love they deserve.

About: I’ve been caring for animals from cats to dogs to fish and turtles since I was young. I love animals and can’t wait to ease your travel or emergency worries while you are away. I work from home and will follow your schedule to the best of my ability, so your pet will be looked after during the day! I work from home so I am available all day everyday typically. It’s so fun to learn each pets quirks and personalities. Pet care helps me get out and get my steps in. House (Day) Sitting: Since I have a fur baby and family of my own, I generally provide early morning-late evening services following your schedule. Of course, if your pet needs special attention, this can be accommodated for overnight care. Please disclose all indoor cameras. Boarding: For their safety and little piece of home, please bring your baby’s kennel/cage/carrier and something that smells like you along with food and water bowls.

Timothy T.
“Tim is a neighbor and we met when he was walking his dog, Lincoln. Lincoln became best friends with my dogs. Tim became their best friend because he loves to play ball with my Gus. We felt very comfortable with Tim and even asked him to let our dogs out to play when we weren't home. Tim took in his sister's dog, Ginger, recently and has shown patience and understanding for this timid older dog. I highly recommend Tim as a pet caregiver. Thank you, Susan O”
