“Hands down the best sitter I’ve had since moving to Pittsburgh. Caring, attentive and gives you lots of updates. He took great care of Terrence and we’re satisfied and happy we’ve found a sitter we’ll consistently come back to”
“Victoria was amazing. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of our family and it couldn’t have gone better. Victoria ensured us that we would receive morning and night videos/pictures of our dog. It was so relieving to know Rogers was in good hands. Would absolutely recommend others to leave their fur babies with her 💚”
“Amazing with my little void! Everyday pics and video and my little baby looked so happy to be there! Went above and beyond and made little toys for her!”
“Amy is truly the best! She is attentive and communicates very well. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her :) My dog can’t wait to come back!!”
“Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)”
“Christine was so great w/ floof. He can be an anxious boy and she went out of her way to do lots of small things to make his stay as stress free as possible, working to accommodate him and what he needed to feel at home. She sent regular updates and pics, he came home a happy boy :) We'd love to use her again for future vacations”
“We couldn’t be happier with Breanna doggie sitting our senior girl over the weekend. Breanna’s communication throughout the process was amazing proving updates and photos. Her experience with dogs truly showed. We had no worries! Highly recommend Breanna. Our girl misses her already.”
“I cannot say enough great things about our experience of boarding our six year old maltese Griswold with Kathleen!!! I was seriously apprehensive about boarding our dog for five days since he has never been away from me for more than one night. While he is quite loveable, he is also extremely high strung as are most maltese dogs. Well what a waste of time for me to be worried... my fear quickly melted with the pictures that Kathleen sent me throughout our trip. My dog looked like HE was having his own vacation!!! lol He looked more relaxed and happy than we did. All the nice long walks and special treatment spoiled him to no end. The only thing I needed to worry about was whether or not he would want to come home with me when I came to retrieve him!! :) He did come home with me, but I have to say.. he seems truly relaxed... I would have never believed it ... I now have to up my dog-mom game and walk him and spoil him more. If you are hesitating to book with Kathleen... don't! You and your dog will be so happy you did. Thanks so much Kathleen!!!! PS: Im sure Griswold cant wait for our (his) next vacation.”
“Ashley and Nicholas were great. Between the numerous photos and updates it was very apparent that Rosie got lots of wonderful walks and was very much at home at their house! We are using them again already next month.”
“Nelia and family took such good care of my pup she never missed a beat. She even ate the first day I was gone---this NEVER happens. Can't say thank you enough 😊”
“Sierra was most accommodating to my dog's anxiety levels and care needed. She was kind, patient and communicated well. She gave him some extra love by taking him to the dog park. We would hire her in the future.”
“Sarah is a wonderful dog sitter! She is very responsive, loving and reliable. She takes my dog’s different needs into account. Both my dogs leave happy when I pick them up!”
“Ray was a natural at taking care of Ginger. He was very flexible in time to meet and was able to watch Ginger for an extra day. Everything went well and was able to receive updates throughout my trip”
“Rachel was great! Communication was on point. We got photos and little descriptions about how Gustav did each day. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“I want to thank Hyunjin and her husband for taking such great care of my dog. They sent me updates and pictures everyday and I could tell that my dog was very comfortable with them just by the pictures. I would love to book with them again and I know my dog would be very happy to spend time with them as well :)”
“Tessa took amazing care of my senior dog. She followed all instructions (my guy has a few medications to take every day) and provided daily updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“Sebastian did an excellent job. He took his care of my dog and followed all the feeding and walking instructions. My dog looked happy and calm in all the beautiful pictures. I will definitely try to book with him again next time I'm out of town.”
“I can’t express how grateful I am that Adam took care of our dog Daisy. He made sure she was comfortable, took amazing care of her and most importantly loved her with kisses and pets. Adam sent me daily updates throughout the day and pictures of their adventures. I will definitely use Adam again. I trust him complicity with my baby girl 🌼💗”
“Ann was quick to respond and flexible with our changing plans. She sent photos and kept us updated that he ate and was settled in. Our Charlie was well cared for during our quick trip. Thanks for looking after him! We will definitely call next time we need to be away.”
“Lola had a great time with Ellyn! She was very responsive while we were away and sent pictures almost every day. We would be happy to have Lola stay again!”
