“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”


“Ashley & Nick did just a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat while I was out of town! From the outset, I was impressed by their professional approach and attention to detail. I received regular updates and lots of pics, so I knew the pets were getting plenty of love, outdoor time, and enrichment. I would recommend without hesitation!”


“Mia was excellent! She kept in great communication, sent lots of photos, and my dogs really liked her. When I came home, everything looked great, no messes. I noticed she even cleaned up the kibble cat food my cat's sprinkled around while I was gone (they do this to protest my leaving 🤣). I would definitely recommend Mia for sitting services.”

“Sarah did an amazing job with our anxious pup who is not used to new faces! Loved seeing pics of her while we were away. We really appreciated her flexibility to meet and check in on her.”


“Tony is friendly, professional, and a very compassionate cat sitter. My kitty can be a handful and Tony was perfect for the task. I would recommend him to anyone. I couldn't be happier!”


“Im trying to find a sitter for my vacation and have been looking everywhere in west mifflin area, south. I also have been taking my dogs to homes to watch them while away, I am newly divorced and my dogs have always gone everywhere with us, but this year as I have them on my own would be too much for one person. I found Alyssa and had no reviews but was in West Mifflin area and does house sitting. This would be a score, but with no reviews very hesitant. Both my dogs have had TPLO surgery and my oldest has a slight neck issue. Our first encounter was a video call. We talked quite some time and I automatically felt at ease. Alyssa is personable, and seems very genuine. We set up a drop in as I left to meet a friend. When Alyssa came to my home, my dogs loved her. Parker even did his under leg walk on her. I felt at ease with my dogs being watch, but also felt my home was in good hands as well. We are working with Alyssa for more visits in the next month until I leave for vacation to become acclimated. My dogs are my kids and think they are human. They have been thru alot with me and I am very particular of who watches my dogs so this is a huge win for us.”



“Tracie exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Every visit was prompt, great updates, tons of pictures and even some videos. She gave our dog tons of attentions, lots of cuddles, and even brought him some toys. She genuinely cared about our pup which made us feel at ease. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about a dog sitter, Tracie will make you feel confident in no time. We will certainly use Tracie again!”


“Ann was great! She left my home very clean and was an excellent communicator. I was very nervous to leave my elderly cat alone for the first time in years, especially since he developed health issues, and Ann did a great job taking care of him. I would definitely recommend.”


About: Policy please read: owners must be at the home when I arrive for overnight to prevent confusion and to communicate any last-minute details. No meetup for new clients = no booking. Great with cats, environmental upkeep and medications. Great with dogs, walking and medications. Especially gentle with senior pets, Great with kittens and puppies. Great with meds and teaching some techniques, my family calls me "the pet whisperer." I have emphysema so I have limits, but I'm supposed to be exercising to increase my tolerance so I will still walk your dog, yes. I'm a freelance artist and delivery driver, so I still work during the day. I may leave for a few hours or be on my laptop to get my work done. It's all on my own time at will, so there's no conflict. I ask that you not book more than 3 days without advanced notice and awareness that I will need to leave to do laundry, eat, work and feed my cat, I am a human being. I don't do drop-ins outside of the Squirrel Hill area, if you schedule for overnight and ask for drop-in, I will turn down the gig. I do overnight across the Pittsburgh area within a 30 minute drive. I think that's reasonable, driving an hour round-trip 3x a day to someone's house to let their dog out isn't worth the gas money. I'm not in a place where I can board furry creatures, unless it is a small reptile with secure nesting box, the reptile room is secure and quiet. I'm very calm and easy to talk to, quiet. I'm always discreet, will never tell anyone you're not home.

“Ananda took wonderful care of our sweet but finicky cat ahead of the holidays! She went above beyond to read care instructions beforehand, sent regular, detailed updates with pictures that put us at ease, and even took the time to feed the wild birds in our yard. Truly an animal person!”


“Hannah did an absolutely spectacular job. We have three cats who crave attention, and Hannah gave them plenty! She went above and beyond during her drop in visits. We received plenty of pictures while we were gone. Definitely going to be using Hannah as our sitter again!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up on a farm. My best fur friend, Maggie May, has been with me for 10 years. We love walks, hikes, car rides, and hanging out at home. When we’re at home, we’re also hanging out with our two black cat homies, Bellatrix and Sirius, who have been with us since 2020. I work from home 4 days per week and have a fairly flexible schedule. I go on daily walks/hikes permitting. I have no problem at all staying home and crafting while hanging out with my pets on a weekend night! I have a secure tie out in my backyard and plenty of cozy places to hang out inside. My dog, Maggie, is lackadaisical about most dogs and just wants to get a good sniff in.

About: I have always had animals and pets around me and never hesitated to take care of others pets when needed. Grew up with three labradors, a cat, and a bird. I currently have my own cat with my partner! I am currently working full-time remote. I can be flexible on the location I work from depending on my meeting load on any given day. I can be more flexible after 5pm for other activities. Usually, my Sundays are busy with church and meal-prepping/running errands. I do not offer service in my home. However, I will treat your home with the most safety and respect to you and your pets environment as though it were my own.

“Awesome and reliable. I have never met her in person because, as usual, me and my wife are reactionary and waited until we were two days away from us both having to leave the dogs on a regular basis to have a solution. Marisa met our needs and then some. Very communicative and on time. My neighbors think she’s great. All good stuff.”


“Andrea is wonderful! She was GREAT with our dogs, super dependable and provided daily feedback. We will definitely ask her to help out with the pups again. Thank you!”


“I highly recommend Jessica as a cat sitter! Jess took excellent care of my two special needs cats, Wasabi and Mason, over the Christmas weekend. Wasabi is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice per day, and Jess administered the injections with precision and care. Mason has asthma and chronic upper respiratory infections, and they are each on a special diet. Jess made sure to follow all instructions to keep them both comfortable and well. Not only was Jessica reliable and responsible, but she also showed genuine affection for Wasabi and Mason. She took the time for them to feel comfortable with her and make sure they were happy, and she provided regular updates on their well-being while I was away. I have complete trust in Jessica and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible and caring cat sitter.”
