1. Marcela D.

“We've had Marcela walk our dogs in the past, but this was the first time she came over to house-sit for a multi-day trip. She did a great job, the dogs seemed well cared for, and the house was in great shape when we returned. We will be booking with Marcela again!”


2. Riley F.

“We loved having Riley watch Daisy! She gave great updates and took Daisy on some fun adventures and Daisy loved spending the weekend with Snowy.”


3. Ann R.

“Ann did a great job watching our little guy. She communicated often and was helpful administering some medicine for him. Our dog is a bit anxious at first too, but Ann was very approachable and made a point to be extra attentive in those initial meetings”


4. Natalie L.

“Natalie took great care of our dog Lottie while we were out of town. Lottie can be nervous around new people, but she warmed up quickly to Natalie, who was so sweet and gentle with her. Natalie sent detailed updates and photos and took great care of Lottie and our house. And she was super flexible and accommodating when our schedule changed a little at the last minute. We will definitely book with her again, and highly recommend her!”


5. Darra R.

“Darra was great with Boon - she was reliable and communicated with us the whole time that we were away. She was the perfect houseguest as well, leaving our house cleaner than we left it! All in all we had a great experience and we would recommend her to anyone.”


6. Regan M.

“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


7. Gianna D.

“Gianna was a very reliable house sitter for our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were out of town. My wife and I are very happy with her communication and how helpful she was taking care of the family. We definitely recommend Gianna!”


8. Leo A.

“Such a kind person, and lovely to sit with my elderly pup.”


9. Heather H.

“Heather was amazing with my two furry babies. They settled right in and took to her right away. When I got home I could tell not only were they taken care of but my home was as well. She sent multiple pictures at the start of every day with an update on the day previously. My dogs were very happy and comfortable as was I. I am always a nervous wreck leaving my babies but Heather made me feel comfortable. We will definitely be booking with Heather in the future again. Thank you for everything Heather and for treating my dogs like your own. Ollie and Olive miss you already & are looking forward to their next stay with you.”


10. Brooke S.

“Brooke did an amazing job with my big & energetic dog over the weekend! We came back to a very happy pup that was obviously very well cared for as well as a spotless house! Brooke was so sweet with our lab and sent us many updates and photos. Would definitely book again in the future!”


11. Traisaun L.

“Traisaun is great. We have 4 active cuddly animals and even when we come home they will go and see if Traisaun is still here! He clearly treats your pets the way you would treat them (and sometimes even better because he puts up with more antics than I do!)”


12. Mariah B.

“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.”


13. Ellie & Quinn M.

“Excellent! Really great job looking after my dog and cat. I think the pets were kinda bummed when we got home to replace Ellie and Quinn, honestly.”


14. David B.
“David is a wonderful caregiver for both his own dogs, and for my cats. He loves his dogs Riley, Luke and Max. He has done an especially good job training Riley using positive reinforcement and obedience training. David has been a reliable cat sitter when I am out of town, taking care of my three cats. This includes feeding, giving medicine and enrichment. David would make a wonderful choice for your pet needs.”


15. Peter V.

“Peter was absolutely amazing, easily one of the best sitters we have had. Great communication and even better picture updates. Cannot wait to use Peter in the future! Highly recommend!”




16. Natalie D.

“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!”


17. Mary S.

“Mary was phenomenal in house sitting Sammy. She made time to come to our apartment and meet him before the sitting. She was asked good questions and was patient with all of Sammy’s little corks. I really appreciated her keeping us updated during our trip. We even had our flight delayed and she stayed longer to ensure Sammy wasn’t alone. I’d definitely recommend Mary for your pup!”


18. Hannah K.

“Took great care of both dogs! She was able to get my nervous, shy dog comfortable with her. Loved the daily (or more) pictures! Both dogs were well cared for!”


19. Keilah V.

“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”


20. Jess L.

“Jess was wonderful! She cuddled with my pets, took them for walks, loved on them, and sent me lots of pictures! Cant wait to have her watch them again!”
