“I highly recommend. She sent videos and pictures of scout every day when we were apart. I can't thank her enough for easing my mind throughout my week long trip.”

“Nelia and Brett were wonderful. They cared for Bronson as if he were a part of their household and were very communicative and accommodating. I highly recommend their service.”

“Breanna was everything we could have asked for in a sitter! She sent lots of photos and updates, had toys for our dog to play with, and even took him for his favorite treat, a pup cup! She was very communicative and asked great questions to make sure she knew everything he needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”


“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”

“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”

“Michael and his family did a great job watching Samson for his extended (12 day) stay. Samson was treated like one of their own and well taken care of. We had no concerns and Samson came home exhausted. We appreciate their hospitality and genuine concern for our dog. I would recommend and book with them again in the future.”

“Adrienne takes wonderful care of Finn and gives us tons of adorable updates of his adventures throughout the day. He's always so excited to stay with Adrienne. Thanks again!”


“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”

“Damara was wonderful! She was very caring and thoughtful with Theo. From the pictures and communication I could tell that Theo enjoyed his time with Demara and her daughter. Would definitely rebook in the future!”

“I have two geriatric dogs that require medicine. Ellyn took amazing care of my girls while I was away and gave them as much comfort and snuggles as they could want. She helped my old dogs take their medicine and made me feel as though they were loved!”

“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”

“Lucas did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely trust him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter”

About: I have had the pleasure of working as a pet care attendant for two separate boarding facilities over the course of 6 years! I also have a few years of experience working as a vet tech assistant! I have lots of experience with animals with different medical needs and have had dogs all my life!

I have no other animals in my home, and live near plenty of green space as well as some dog parks for walks and play time!
“My booking request was super last minute because my previous arrangements fell through, and Augusta was originally not available but reached back out to me later on to tell me she would be able to if I still needed it which I greatly appreciated! She was great with Bobble and communicated very regularly about how he was doing!”

“Eronda was amazing with my puppy. She constantly sent pics of her playing and socializing with a cat and numerous dogs. My puppy seemed very happy when we picked her up. Eronda was in constant contact throughout our vacation. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Damara was soo amazing with my puppy June. It was my first time leaving her so I was nervous. Damara sent a ton of updates and even taught June a new trick! I felt so at ease knowing June was in good hands. Damara really treated her like her own and I know June was comfortable and happy there. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!

Kassandra was amazing with Toby! She took great care of him and was very flexible with scheduling. Every day, she sent a detailed update about how Toby was doing, along with photos and videos that we loved receiving. Her communication was excellent, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about Toby’s well-being. We would absolutely recommend Kassandra and would be happy to book with her again.

Elizabeth is amazing! She was able to accommodate us on only a couple days notice and made it very convenient for us to hand off our pup. She is really experienced with anxious dogs like ours, and was really considerate to all of her specific needs. She provided pictures and updates every few days so that we could feel at ease that Snezka was getting along with the other pups and relaxing in her home. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

Adrienne was a great host for boarding our dog. She was very responsive and sent us regular updates (photos and videos). Filou, our dog, seemed very happy throughout his week with her and came back home tired and happy. I would highly recommend her for your boarding needs.

Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Daily updates with pictures provided so much peace of mind while away. Cam paid great attention to my dog’s quirks and preferences, with clear effort to keep everything comfortable and familiar. Genuine care and thoughtfulness made all the difference. Highly recommend!

At pick up, Ralphie and Seymour were reluctant to leave Erica so it was obvious she took very good care of them. Throughout their stay, I received regular photos and updates and all communications were smooth. I’m sure Ralphie and Seymour would welcome the chance to stay with Erica again.

As always, Riley is so great to our Dexter. Dexter was excited to spend time with Snowy last week and I’m so glad that he gets to have friend time. Riley keeps Dexter active with many walks for which he enjoys. My time away from Dexter is stress free knowing that he is in good hands with Riley and Snowy.

Sam was the best with Kobe. We are from NC and we were in town for a family event and graduation. We couldn’t find anyone in NC to care for Kobe so we decided to look in Pittsburgh and came across and Sam and we are so glad we did. She cared for Kobe and sent us pictures. He even made a new friend, we would definitely book with Sam again.

My dog loves Ellyn and her family. They hang out on the couch, walk, and play. An accomplished photographer, Ellyn sends frame worthy photos. In those, it's clear that my dog's having laugh-out-loud fun. I highly recommend booking with Ellyn. It's stress and guilt free.
Jesaun was so extremely friendly and flexible with us. We ended up needing extremely last minute care for our dog and he was able to help us out and even went out of his way to pick her up for us. He was great at taking care of our dog, sent pictures and updates, and made sure she got lots of exercise. I would definitely recommend him.

Audrey was the perfect caregiver for Rufus. I needed to find someone relatively quickly, and Audrey was available and made sure we could squeeze in a meet and greet so Rufus and I would feel comfortable. Rufus is almost 13 and has some health issues requiring meds. He is often reluctant to take the meds and sometimes to eat enough, but Audrey was successful in making sure he got what he needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Audrey any time!!!
