“Abby and Jason are wonderful and took time to meet and greet the day prior since my pup can be shy. I wanted to find a place our puppy would be socializing and active while we had family (dog free) plans all day. They walked her, did a puzzle and the pups played great! Wall-E their pup is adorable and was so good with our dog. We definitely recommend them for doggy daycare! Especially for a shy puppy and nervous dog parent.”

About: As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I currently have a two-year-old chihuahua mix. I love meeting new dogs and can’t wait to spend time with your pets! I own a home with a small fenced-in yard on Pittsburgh's Northside, perfect for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home full time, I can ensure plenty of attention, walks, and playtime for your furry friend. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Since I work from home full time, I have the flexibility to ensure regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make sure to incorporate short breaks for outdoor play in my small fenced yard, and longer walks to explore the neighborhood. I make pet care a priority and adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated like family. Pets are welcome throughout the house and are free to relax on furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I ensure they follow their regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. Since I work from home, I’m always around to give them the attention they deserve, making sure they feel loved and at ease.

“These two were great on both occasions with my boy. They were able to meet him where he is at with his special needs (slow to trust) and provide patient introductions. We are booked for another day of daycare and will continue to book with them.”


About: Hello there dog lovers, my name is Sarah, and I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I take small dogs (45 lbs and under) to board overnight in my big old 1928 Pittsburgh 3 bedroom house with a big fenced in yard. I have the sweetest English bulldog Hulk and we live with my best friend and housemates 2 small dogs, Rocky the 14 year old rat terrier and Princess Buttercup, a 1.5 yr toy poodle, too. They are adorable and well behaved and very used to visitors. Everybody eats in separate rooms & sleeps in the bed together, if they want! No crates or cages here, and I’m home all day working. I’ll also groom your pup if you’d like to add that on! I did grooming for years. We can’t wait to meet you and your dog! Please reach out with any questions. At my home, your pets will feel like part of the family. I have a huge, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can roam freely in and out all day long. Whether they enjoy lounging on the furniture or snuggling in bed, they’re welcome here! I provide plenty of toys, treats, and all the doggy essentials to keep them entertained and comfortable. I work from home, so your pet will have constant supervision and company all day. I live with three friendly dogs who are social and welcoming to new furry friends. They’re all well-behaved and love making new pals. I follow all feeding instructions and will stick to any guidelines you provide for your pet’s care. No crates unless specifically requested—your pet will have free roam to enjoy the space like they would at home. I’m dedicated to giving your pet a safe, fun, and loving environment during their stay! My house is very dog friendly and an open space for dogs to hang out. Toys everywhere and open space to hang out on furniture or in bed to snuggle. Very cool and comfy with a ton of toys to play with. I have hardwood floors and washable rugs and clean them often.

“Michael and Maria were wonderful with taking care of our pug at their place. We were visiting Pittsburgh and needed to find a sitter to take care of our pug while we were out for a bit. Communication was excellent, responsive, and the status updates during our pug’s care was appreciated. Our pug has separation anxiety, but Maria was able to calm her down faster than the other sitters we have used. I could tell by comparing time stamps of the care text updates. We felt comfortable with Michael and Maria, and our pug came back to us very calm. We would book again if back in town. Thank you!”


“Amy was great with our Lucy! Super attentive to her needs and kept us updated with the cutest pics! Will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Laura was wonderful. Very communicative and loved the photos. Will absolutely use again.”


“Sebastian was very patient with our dog Lucy! She can be very territorial and doesn’t always take to people. We greatly appreciate your help with her!”


“Vidhi was great with my disabled dog,and was able to accommodate us last minute when I needed unexpected emergency repairs on my apartment. She is very sweet and send many updates a pictures!”


About: 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! 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. 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.

“Kevin (and his sweet greyhound) took great care of my dog for the day! He was very flexible when our schedule changed by about 90 min and we picked her up later than planned. So grateful!”
