Pet care experience

Cat parent from dog family

I brought our two cats, Chili and Lok-Lok, all the way from China, but I grew up with dogs in my family and love both. I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends’ dogs and I heard about this app so I thought it might be fun to give it a try. Whenever I get called on to dog-sit for my friend here in Pittsburgh I like to go to the dog parks near the South Side river or jog along with them, rain or snow, and socialize with other dogs. Looking forward to meeting yours!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard where I do some gardening and let our cats out every day to chase bugs and birds. My friends have stayed over with their dogs and I just move the cats to the second floor and keep them there while the dogs take the first and the yard.

I could not have wished for a better caregiver! It is evident in the photos that my pets loved interacting with Elad and especially trips to the dog off-lease area. Just a week before my trip, Mr. Darcy was diagnosed with diabetes, and I am grateful that Elad accepted the challenge. Thank you sooo much for not only making all the pets comfortable, but also keeping them healthy. Exceptional service, I highly recommend Elad!

Elad was great with Pepper dog. He has a calming presence and Pepper warmed up to him immediately. He was communicative and v helpful to us.

Elad was a great dog sitter. Followed the instructions I had for ghost and did well with my dog. Can’t complain, would hire again

Elad and Shira were wonderful! Really took care of Macie like it was their own. Sent pics and videos that were terrific. Will continue to have them whenever I go out of town. Very lucky to have found them!!!!

Elad and his wife have a huge heart and love for animals. They took care of my Fozzie Bear (basset hound) while I was on vacation. He did a great job keeping my baby happy and safe. He updated me frequently, with photo updates and made sure to keep me in the loop. I would trust Elad to watch any animals, and would not hesitate to use him again and again. He is reliable, communicative and responsible.

I’ve known Elad for over 12 years, and as a puppy parent of 2 amazing fur babies, I would trust Elad to watch over two of the most important people in my life. Not only is he an amazing pet parent (he has 2 adorable cats), but he has proven time and again his care and affinity for animals with both his and my fur babies. A loving pet parent and excellent educator, no one would ever go wrong in entrusting their furry loved ones to his care.

Schedule

I’m a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh so summer and winter breaks are relatively free, and usually I’m only “working” 2-3 half days per week. I have to do a lot of reading and thinking so getting out of the house is a good way to take a break and process.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Elad can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It would be helpful to know if your dog is social and friendly with strangers or not. I don’t expect them to get along with our cats and I have a way to keep them separated if your dog stays over but if they’ve been friendly with cats before, it’s nice to know and maybe we can try with supervision and caution.
