“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”
2. Victoria K.
“Willis had a great stay with Victoria and will be going back again next week! I felt very comfortable away knowing he was being well looked after. We got lots of update videos and pictures. Victoria is also very quick to respond which is also a huge plus. Thank you!”
3. Christine B.
“Christine is the best! She was in constant communication with us in the lead up to and throughout Leo’s stay. She was flexible in working around our often changing pickup schedule and easily accommodated all of our pups needs. Will definitely book with Christine next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”
4. Kathleen K.
“We love Kathleen! When I tell you that I don’t give my dogs a second thought when I drop them off…I don’t! She truly cares for them like they are her own. She’s also very flexible if your pick up/drop off time changes. Tons of pictures all the time! We will never go elsewhere. ♥️.”
5. Michael H.
“Michael and Maria were the best! They took such great care of Penny while I was out of town. Their apartment is so clean and a wonderful location for the city. They were so kind with sending daily updates and photos. I know Penny was in great hands!”
6. Ryan N.
“Ryan is fantastic with our picky (and occasionally reactive) pup!! He’s attentive and so knowledgeable about dog body language and behavior, and that was evident from our pre-boarding meet and greet! She got along so well with his dogs, and he kept us updated on how she was doing throughout! She came so happy and tired (from play and exercise)! She loved Ryan and his pack, and he will definitely be our go-to from now on!”
7. Amy C.

8. Nelia & Brett M.
“Milo was so well taken care of & had a wonderful stay. I loved the puctures and updates serval times a day. The entire family took part in his care & giving him love while we were on this much-needed getaway. We have found the perfect sitter for him & will definitely have him stay again . Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little guy❤️”
9. Bianca & Ryan W.
“Bianca and Ryan were absolutely amazing to my two dogs! My dogs absolutely LOVED them and they had the time of their lives running around in the yard and playing fetch! They provided me lots of pictures and videos to make sure I know they were okay and having fun while I was on vacation. I will DEFINITELY be using them again!!!”

“Absolutely love leaving Chip with Sebastian and his wife. It is the biggest peace of mind knowing he is in the best of care. Daily pictures and updates are the best. Thank you! 10/10 recommend 🌟”
13. Maria D.
“Maria is wonderful! From our first meeting at our meet and greet we could tell that our Shadow felt safe and happy in her home. During Shadow’s first overnight, Maria kept in touch by sending us messages and photos of Shadow. I could tell from the pictures that Shadow felt right at home. Maria’s calm, caring demeanor sets the tone of welcome and comfort. When we dropped Shadow off, she didn’t even notice that we were leaving! I highly recommend Maria to care for your pet!”
14. Christina B.
“Christina and her husband treated my pup like she was their own. Having multiple updates and photos was a blessing. We’ve found Harley’s new home away from home! Thank you!❤️🐾”
15. Christy M.
“Mungo had another great visit with Christy. I had to leave town for a couple of days and it was such a relief to know that Mungo was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Christy sent updates with photos and always responds very quickly to messages. I am so grateful that Christy was able to watch Mungo.”
16. Jacqueline O.
“Jackie was wonderful taking care of our pug. Her communication and follow up was excellent and responsive. Jackie is upfront and transparent. She provided timely status and photos. Our pug has separation anxiety and was eventually able to settle down at her place after a few hours. We were visiting from out of town for a conference and we were thankful Jackie was able to offer day care for our pug. I would book again if she has availability. Thank you Jackie!”
17. Piper W.
“Piper was wonderful! She kept us updated on Bruce's stay with photos and texts. Bruce is not an easy dog, but she and her family were so welcoming and available that our pup felt right at home and came back to us calm and happy. Would highly, highly recommend!”
18. Jada W.
“Jada was amazing! We boarded our 1 year old goldendoodle with her (it was his first time staying with a non-family member). She gave us regular updates on our pup, provided him with excellent care and put us at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away from home. We were out of the country for our trip and she coordinated pick up with a family member, which helped us greatly! We will definitely use her services again and can't recommend her enough!”
19. AJ O.
“I am always a little nervous when I leave my pup with someone new but AJ was great with Tater. He put me at ease knowing that my pup was being taken care of so well. He gave my puppy full range of his home and gave him the necessary play/exercise. I would recommend AJ.”
20. Matthew S.
“Matthew was so kind and calm and was great with our Bogey! We appreciated the pictures and updates. Matthew was extremely careful and conscientious, and Bogey was in terrific shape when we picked him up. Thank you Matthew!”
