1. Annie B.

“Annie went above and beyond to care for and spend time with my dog and bunny. I loved getting updates and photos from her. Would highly recommend and will be booking again!”


2. Tyler L.

“Tyler did a great job watching my 110 pound German Shepherd. He gave lots of updates of their time and was respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend Tyler for future services.”


3. Daniela D.

“I was so glad Daniela was able to take care of my dogs. She clearly cares about them despite my younger dog’s excitability! She was great at quick communication as well.”


4. Liz W.

“Liz was wonderful!!! Would definitely use her again. The babies Mavrik (alaskan malamute puppy) and Molly (senior pomeranian) loved her. Liz is very detailed and a super genuinely nice person. She sat the babies at our house for the whole weekend while we were able to away for a wedding. You will definitely feel comfortable with her in your home. Thank you again Liz!”


5. Rachel S.

“Rachel was such a blessing to have during the anxiety of traveling and leaving behind our pups. She worked with our schedule and her availability so make us feel comfortable and secure. During any road bumps she made sure to reach out to us and our emergency contacts to make sure everything was handled. We would definitely recommend and rebook Rachel !”


6. Iana L.
“Iana spent a few days visiting our home while on her travels in Canada. She was a wonderful guest as she shared stories of her amazing journey that brought her to our neighborhood. I could see that she was thoughtful and caring and sent us regular updates about her travels.”


7. Riley F.

“Riley is so kind to our pup Mac! She sends pictures all day to give me a piece of mind about their day together. She keeps me updated all day long. She is so attentive and kind. Thank you Riley!!! Mac already misses you!”


8. Aubra V.

“Aunts did amazing watching our pups while we were away! Will definitely use her again!”


9. Katlyn A.

“Katlyn was great!! She is very natural with dogs and very responsible. It's comforting knowing she works at a veterinary clinic. Came home to safe, tired dogs.”


10. Jessica B.

“I'm so glad Jessica was able to take care of my rather energetic dogs. She made sure they got play time and attention. She was especially patient and good-humored when my puppy chewed her sandal and had an accident. I'm looking forward to her taking care of my dogs again.”


11. Kathryn P.
“Kathryn is truly a lifesaver when it comes to caring for my cats, Apollo and Zeus. Apollo struggles with separation anxiety, and Zeus is usually very skittish around new people. Kathryn won them both over almost immediately. She was incredibly patient and gentle, taking the time to understand their personalities and earning their trust. I got regular updates that showed just how comfortable and content they were in her care. It meant the world to know they were in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only reliable but also deeply compassionate with animals, Kathryn is the one!”


12. Emma F.

“Emma watched my two dogs at mountain top campground while my husband and I went to a few museums in Pittsburgh. It was great peace of mind to know they weren't alone in the camper all day and we were able to enjoy ourselves. The girls loved Emma and seemed at ease with her from the beginning. Emma was very prompt with her arrival time. I would highly recommend Emma for dog sitting, especially if you are at the campground, she's very local (within 10 minutes I believe) of the campground.”


13. Crystal C.

“Crystal was great, we would happily rebook her for any future stays with our dogs! They seemed to love their time with her, and she was very respectful of our home. Consistent communication and updates, handled the small issues that our boys created with ease, and left our home in better condition than we left it.”


14. Mick S.


“I have a pretty neurotic dog and Mick handled all of his quirks effortlessly. I felt very confident in Mick’s ability to care for my pets while I was away. Mick took great care of my dogs and was easy to communicate with while I was gone. I’m looking forward to using Mick as a pet sitter again in the future!!”


15. Brianna M.

“Brianna is so wonderful - she made us feel at ease during her meet&greet and my dog immediately took to her (which she really does not do)! Brianna was incredibly responsive, sent the most adorable photos everyday, and was very respectful of my house (and even shoveled the driveway during a terrible snow!). We will absolutely be booking her again!!”


16. Monique C.
About: I am 19 years old and have 8+ years of experience with training and caring for all different types of animals. I took a pre-veterinary course through high school and am continuing it through college currently. I can administer medication orally, intramuscular, and subcutaneous, however I’m most comfortable with orally. I have been trained in first aid for your pet and I have knowledge with CPR. I absolutely love animals and any furry friends under my care will be treated as if they were my own! I do have a horse, so walking or drop-ins would need to be scheduled on a day to day basis. I try to be as flexible as possible and I will try to keep my clients up to date on any scheduling changes including shows or personal matters. My dog is crate trained but he is allowed on the bed and my couch throughout the day. He is allowed access to fresh water all day but he is fed at breakfast and then again at dinner, food bowl is removed after he is finished eating. I will, of course, follow any house rules clients have, like if the dog is not allowed on furniture for example. I am very attentive to my dog, even when I have things to do I try to ensure that he has been played with or has things to keep him occupied while I’m busy.


17. Judith K.

“Once again Judith has been wonderful taking care of my two dogs. She always kept us updated and the communication was great. Highly recommended”


18. Jake M.

“Jake is dependable and Teddy loves walks with him!”


19. Plachette C.

“Plachette did a wonderful job caring for our dogs! She provided regular updates, sweet pictures and videos, was reliable and made me feel very comfortable that our pups were getting good care while we were away. I would recommend her to any dog owner!”


20. Bryce A.
“I have known Bryce and his family for many years. He is a smart, caring and responsible young man who has a deep affinity for and love of nature/animals. He has done some gardening/landscaping projects for me as well as dog sit. Bryce has my highest recommendation and will surely be an asset to your company.”
