7. Claire S.

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


8. 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.”


9. 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.”


10. Annie B.

11. 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!”


12. 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.


13. Mandie L.
“Mandie showed a great dedication on getting Ashes worked up with Izzy! They even did a mile walk and were constantly in her backyard, I would have her watch her again in a second!”


14. 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!”




15. Barrett L.


“Barrett was fantastic. I was passing through Pittsburgh on a holiday weekend and needed someone to watch my two 1 1/2-year-old beagles while I attended a Pirates games with friends. Barrett welcomed Harper & Quincy to his home, provided regular updates, and took great of them (including giving meds). Would absolutely use again.”


16. JaRavia H.
“JaRavia watched my cat Leo and did a phenomenal job. She came over my house and took great care of my picky, senior kitty. She communicated updates well and I would highly recommend her to a pet parent in need.”


17. 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!”


18. 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”


19. Susantha R.

“Don has transformed my relationship with my 9 month old Boston Terrier, Eddie! After seeking training advice from generic Obedience classes/ searching for answers to help Ed, Don has brought me a real understanding about my Pup! He is an honest, trustworthy and dedicated professional. His experience and insight have helped bring out Ed’s strengths and confidence. The one on one time Ed experienced while boarding with Don has been phenomenal. Don has the patience, skills and a genuine love for dogs that is apparent in how he socializes/ cares for them. I highly recommend his services!”


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!”
