“We have used Vivian a few times and each time we love this family more and more! They take care of my buddy as if she is theirs. My dog is so comfortable at their home! ❤️❤️”
“Excellent care! Felt very confident and comfortable knowing our dog was in the care of a good, kind person. Jessica gave us frequent updates and photos. Would highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend. Our boy was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. He loved playing with her dogs and actually came home pretty tired from all the activity. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”
“Our 2, 15 year old pups (Toby & Summer) spent a week away for the first time time outside of a chain boarding facility. Given their age, we felt best having them get the 1:1 care needed however, this came with anxiety. Our anxieties were immediately put to rest because she offered a meet & greet then during their stay with Beatriz, she sent daily pictures, videos, and texts with updates which were beyond meaningful for us! They were SO loved and fit in with her own senior crew. 10/10 recommend Beatriz and her love that she has to offer for your animals! 🐾❤️ To top things off, our travels were to Puerto Rico and she was kind enough to offer us many recommendations for sites to see and food to eat! Thank you for the exceptional care that you gave to our fur babies, Beatriz! You are the best! 🐾❤️”
“Renae took such good care of Nash while I was on vacation! She updated me every day and treated him as one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“My pup spent a week with Lindsay and her family and I couldn’t be happier with how attentive she was to my dog’s needs through the entire process. She provided many updates so that I knew my pup was happy and enjoying himself. I can tell that my furball will be so happy to go back!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart for them. I have worked in boarding facilities for dogs and cats and currently have 2 overly spoiled dogs I try to take everywhere with me, and 1 cat who runs the household. I know how hard it is to leave them behind and always be sure they are in the best, most loving care possible. I have work from home capability to tend to your best friend 24/7! No amount of potty breaks are too many and there are no time restrictions on feedings. I have a fenced in yard out back and 2 friendly dogs for your fur baby to keep company. I have a play pen for smaller dogs if necessary.
“Robert & Kaitlin were awesome! My dogs had a great time and it was so nice leaving them and not worrying about them! We got photos and updates. We will definitely be using them again soon - highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was AWESOME w our puppy. It was his first wkd away from us. Jennifer was so reassuring w me (I was a tad anxious to leave him). She sent pics and updates. We will DEF use her services again! Highly recommend!!”
“Destiny was super easy to deal with. Great communication. Simple drop off and pick up. Pictures of the dog lounging around living her best life. Will book everytime if she's available!”
“I am so thankful for Summer and Daniel! We booked them slightly last minute. We originally planned on boarding our dog at a local kennel but knew she would be overly anxious being there. So we reached out to Summer and Daniel who thankfully had the availability. After a meet and greet, we knew it would be a great fit! They are very responsible and were very understanding of some of the restrictions my dog had. Summer sent videos and photos of our dog with theirs and she seemed to have the time of her life! I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home after seeing how much fun she was having. I would most certainly board with them again after seeing what great care they gave my dog!”
About: I’m a full-time professional with three years of experience teaching manners at Humane Animal Rescue, and I’m excited to welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs into my home for boarding. My approach combines safety, structure, and enrichment so your dog feels secure, happy, and fulfilled during their stay. My home is set up with safety in mind—hazards are kept out of reach, and visiting pets are supervised closely every day. I have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and while there are a few steps, I make sure each dog’s needs are accommodated. Before any stay, I require a meet-and-greet with my own well-socialized pit bull mix and cat. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and sets the tone for a stress-free visit. I also honor your preferred training methods and routines while adding daily mental and physical enrichment—sniff walks, puzzle toys, and engagement games—to keep your pup’s mind and body happy. Whether your dog thrives on quiet companionship or loves a more active, engaging schedule, I’ll make sure they feel cared for like family. I currently am a full time working professional with a hybrid schedule. I work two days in office and my husband works from home daily. Your pet will always be attended to and cared for like our own. I understand the importance of peace of mind when trusting your pet with another person. Extra attention and care is always taken to ensure pet safety, whether this be around open doors, while on walks, or any other particular needs they have.
About: I have grown up with multiple dogs and cats my whole life! I have experience with puppies and senior pets! Your pets are so important to me 🥹 Hi there, I’m Emily! I am a full time Registered nurse in the Pittsburgh area. I currently work 3 x 12 hour shifts throughout the week, so I have plenty of time to stop in and take care of your pet! On my off days, I am usually available morning through night. Weekends are usually available depending on time of day! My work schedule does fluctuate, but still pretty flexible! Available after shifts around 7 pm if needed! Always quick to respond! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my number one concern! I want to make them feel as comfortable as possible, and always have a wagging tail when I leave. Always willing and happy to provide pictures of your pets and keep you updated during my visit or walk! I understand daily life gets busy and overwhelming! But, I am here to help you with your best friend! I have an almost 3 year old red lab named Campbell! He is our best bud and we treat him like our child. He is completely house trained and well-mannered. We have a huge yard with the ability to leash. Our neighborhood is great for walks! Just down the street is a beautiful, private dog park that is great for playing and exercise. The obsession with toys is real, so you can’t guarantee we have a huge bin full of all his favorites!

Jenny S.
“I've been in the dog rescue world for 8 years now. I may seem like an over protective dog parent, but because I've experienced so much, I like to do whatever I can to create a happy and safe world for my pups at all times. With that, there are only a handful of people that I truly trust to take care of my dogs. I have 3 pit mixes of my own and one american bulldog mix foster. Jenny is one of those people. She's smart and thoughtful, follows directions, and knows basic training methods (positive only!). My dogs love her and so will yours.”
Emily C.
“Emily is the best with any pet! Her experience with animals is definitely obvious. She has a caring and calm personality that would make any pet comfortable. She is prompt and great with communication! Her job allows her to create a pretty nice schedule with her clients. Would recommend to anyone!!”
