“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.”

“This is probably the 25+ time our two have stayed with Amy -- the LOVE their time there and have so much fun. Amy is wonderful to work with on scheduling and pickup times. We go out of our way to drive and drop off with Amy even if we are heading in the opposite direction on our travels -- because she is so great!”


“Christy is extremely nice and easy to work with. Very flexible with our schedule and had kept us updated with pictures throughout the entire time. We are comfortable leaving our fur babies under her care. Will definitely use her service again.”


“Joe is so wonderful! Our puppy had a GREAT day with him and Zip. Joe was willing and able to take our Rosie for the day with only a few days’ notice, which was a huge help to us (we were in a bind!). He was very communicative, took great care of our dog, and sent us some really cute photos and updates. He made sure Rosie had a wonderful day despite all the gray and rainy weather. I’m so grateful! We’ll definitely be back!”

Communication was excellent, responsive, and the status updates during our pug’s care was appreciated.

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.

About: Overnight / day care: - 2 to 3 walks a day, around 30 minutes - at home care for 8 hours during the work week - spacious house with fenced in yard I grew up with three dogs, caring for them wrapped into my day to day routine growing up. Friends, family, and even coworkers have asked me to pet sit, allowing me to enjoy the perks of pet ownership whilst taking a hiatus on personal ownership currently. I also currently volunteer at the local shelter, which has provided me ample experience on how to manage different types of dogs with varying temperaments. I have a flexible work schedule, being able to pick and choose days/hours I work. My husband and I live quite an active lifestyle, going for daily runs/walks, and can incorporate your pet exercising needs however required. I love love love playing with dogs so rest assured your pet will be mentally and physically stimulated ! I live in a three story home with a fenced in yard with my husband. Your pet will have free rein in our entire home and have ample of outdoor space as well! If staying at a clients home I will be very respectful of your personal space and house rules !

“I’m visiting Pittsburgh and needed a sitter for my dog so I could get errands done. I was so lucky to find Ella! She was so close we walked to her house. She greeted Teddy with a treat and although he was hesitant he went easily with her. I got my running around done and Ella even sent me a picture of Teddy relaxing with her on the couch. It put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely use her again when I’m back in town.”


“Hannah did a fantastic job caring for my dog Boo! Boo usually struggles with new environments, but the care and attention Hannah provided made all the difference. She was patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to ease my dog's anxiety. Highly recommend for anyone with a nervous dog!”


About: Hi! I’m Lauren… There’s nothing in this world that I love more than my dog, Zoe. If I left her in a stranger’s care, I would want to know that this person is trustworthy, responsible, passionate, and attentive to the details to keep her safe. As a stranger to you and your dog, I give you my word— I’ll be all that and more! Whether it’s going on walks, giving meds, or just spending time together… Anything you need for your pup, I’m there for you! (note that Zoe doesn’t live with me; She’s home with my parents!) I am available at anytime during the summer! I don’t mind late night pickups or early morning drop offs. We can work something out guaranteed! What YOU can expect: • A thorough pre-booking review of things that will keep your dog/cat comfortable and safe • open communication 24/7 • an influx of pictures of your happy pup/cat • safety in knowing that your pup is in good hands What your PET can Expect: • comfortable naps in my air conditioned home • long or short walks to local parks • a surplus of attention, pets, and cuddles • the best day ever, basically.
