“Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!”


“Anthony and Leslie took such good care of our Harley! We received so many pictures throughout the day, so I was confident he was taken well care of. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!”


“Benny always has a wonderful time with Cassandra and her family. He’s always so happy to see her! Cassandra updates me throughout his visit, is very flexible, and responds quickly.”

“We love Wendy. My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner. We've moved too far away now, but she was so great to help us with last minute doggy daycare when we had a day of house showings before our move. We will miss her. She pampers the pets that stay with her. It's obvious that they become part of her extended family. You will not regret booking Wendy, I promise.”

“I left my Pomeranian in daycare from April 24 to May 8, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed every time I picked him up. Communication was great, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for the reliable, loving care—will definitely book again!”

About: I had a dog every since I was 2 years old. I’ve taken care of fosters, my own dogs, friends dogs. I can give references if needed I work from home M-F and can give my animals full attention. Dogs will be given constant access to my huge back yard and plenty of attention. I have a calm submissive golden doodle and a full fenced in back yard. I can care for most dogs but if you have a jumper of over 48 inches then this may not be the best fit as I give my dogs free range of the yard when I work.
“C took the best care of my fog Shadow! She took her to the dog park, on daily walks, and sent me pictures everyday. She was very communicative and quick to answer any time I texted her. I will be using her again!”

“Lean and Sean are wonderful! We have an 11 month old English Bulldog puppy and she has never spent a night away from us since we got her, so we were very nervous about how she would do when we needed to have her with someone else for almost 4 days. Leah and Sean took excellent care of our girl, who enjoyed tons of loving attention, snuggles, and a wonderful family atmosphere. They are near a park, so walks and outside time were close by as well. When we picked her up, she was happy and almost didn’t want to go! We would definitely recommend Leah to friends and we plan on future visits soon!”

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.
“I dropped my puppy off for a daycare for the first time! Tara was very nice and she sent me photos and progress reports regularly throughout that day! Will definitely be using her again ?”

About: I have had animals my whole life and have been a home pet sitter since I was 14! I also have experience working at a boarding kennel as a kennel attendant working with the dogs and other animals. I have experience from from animals to your everyday pets! I’m currently on leave from school as I’m due in May with my first baby so I have lots of free time that I would love to spend with your pet(s)! I have attention to detail and will make sure your pet gets the care that you give them yourself and more! I make sure pet is well taken care of!

“Amy does a fantastic job! She is so professional, and my puppy absolutely LOVES to go. He gets so exciting when he gets in the car now, thinking he's going to get to go to Amy's house. I highly recommend her, especially for weekly doggy daycare during the day.”


About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have been actively responsible for their care for the past five years. Growing up, my household consistently cared for up to ten dogs at a time, including working dogs, show dogs, and family pets. I have experience with dogs ranging from newborn puppies to seniors and from small breeds to dogs over 100 pounds. I have assisted with six successful litters from birth through early development, helping with monitoring, handling, and daily care of the puppies. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, maintaining structured feeding routines, and supporting crate and potty training when appropriate. I have experience introducing young, non-aggressive dogs to others in a controlled setting. I also regularly care for senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges. Currently, I have one dog living with me full time. He is a 35-pound Mini Australian Shepherd who is neutered, fully vaccinated, and has graduated from service animal training. My goal is to provide calm, structured, and attentive care so dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently a student at RMU and run my own photography business, so my schedule is great to give me time to play with your pups! I am typically home in the mornings and evenings, with breaks between classes during the day depending on the semester. I am available for boarding on the weekends at any time with weekdays being after 5pm everyday but Monday and Wednesday. When boarding, I do not leave dogs for extended periods without planning around their needs, and I make sure potty breaks and exercise are built into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on structure, supervision, and a calm environment. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise appropriate to each dog, with regular visits to local dog parks. Pets are never left unattended with access to unsafe items, and I monitor interactions closely, especially during introductions, including the use of cameras while out of the house. I have experience managing multi-dog households and understand the importance of slow, controlled introductions. My own Mini Australian Shepherd is well-trained and calm indoors. When boarding dogs, I prioritize compatibility and supervision. For cats, I maintain clear separation and provide quiet, designated spaces so they feel secure and stress-free. I keep my living space clean, organized, and free of hazards. Water is always available, and I follow all owner instructions carefully, including dietary needs and medication administration. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions exactly as provided, maintain cleanliness, and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they are away. I also run my own photography business, so I love capturing moments while pets are in my care and you are certain to get photos of your pet.
About: I am a retired teacher with a lot of experience in pet care. I had 2 medium sized dogs and have cared for dogs of family members. I am a recently retired teacher with a ton of free time. I have reliable transportation and a welcoming, clean home. I have a lot of availability. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. I live in a small, quiet neighborhood. I enjoy taking daily walks and would love company on those walks.
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful with our 6 year old dog, Meeko. Meeko absolutely adores being at her house to play fetch all day long and take long walks in the woods. I would highly recommend Sarah for all of your dog sitting needs! She treats Meeko just like she would her own dog. Meeko has an absolute blast every time he stays at Sarah’s!”

“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.”

About: I am a single mom with 19 year old daughter. I have a golden retriever who loves to have dog friends visit. Your pet will get the same TLC as my own dog. They will be a part of our family while they are with us. I have a fenced in yard, making it easy for your pet to be safe and get some exercise too. I have been watching dogs in my home for about 20 years. I work from home, so I am almost always home aside from the occasional errands. Accidents are ok too. Mine has had a few over the years. Your dog will never be in trouble if this happens. You won’t have to worry about your dogs when they are with me. They will be treated like family. I work from home, so your pets will rarely be left alone. When they are, it is just for brief periods for when I running errands. I have a fenced in yard and w very friendly fir baby of my own. I can let them out frequently and always supervise outside even though my yard is fenced. I am able to feed them if they are here during meal time. I will just need to know if your dog is food possessive so I can make sure they eat separately from my dog.
