“Denyal is phenomenal. We’ve never left our little senior dog with anyone before, and I cannot tell you how at ease we have been with her daily updates. Thank you again, Denyal for being so accommodating and working with our little guy! You are so appreciated and I would recommend you to anyone!”

About: I have a 100lb Great Pyrenees mix and a 50lb Pit Bull. The Pit Bull is both animal and human reactive and so I have plenty of experience managing those anxieties. I am also a weekly dog walker at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh with over 350 volunteer hours logged. I am currently in graduate school and so have plenty of morning and afternoon hours to walk your dog! I can be available as needed at night and am available seven days a week. Because my Pit Bull is very dog reactive I cannot safely have your dog at my house. However, my Pyrenees mix is very friendly and loves other dogs. If you would like your dog to be socialized then she would love to come!
About: I've had more than half a dozen cats and dogs each throughout my life. I've helped feed them, give them water, walk them, and try to give them the happiest lives possible. These pets have been my best friends, even more so than most people that I've met. I absolutely love animals and always make them my priority! I'm a student at the University of Pittsburgh looking for a part time job when I am home on break, and weekend work when I am at school. I love pets and tend to have a lot of free time at home and on weekends! My pets are technically my parents', but I often walk them because I want to get them outside and it's fun for me. I also feed them and make sure they have water in their dishes. I usually take my dogs as far as they want to go, whether it's for just a block, or for a few miles. I love to snuggle up with my dogs more than anything!
“Maddi was a responsive, flexible and attentive caretaker for my two young house cats. I really appreciated her prompt communications and the photos she sent gave me peace of mind while I was gone on my week-long trip. Would use again, thanks Maddi!”

“Tia is amazing. I like her and my dogs love her. She is patient and understanding of my dog with anxiety issues, and makes sure the other 2 get enough time to potty and play while I'm working long shifts. She's also incredibly thorough with her checkins and lets me know exactly how everyone is doing when im not home.”

“Allie is absolutely fantastic! This is my second time booking her to help with my pup Luna. She was able to take my last minute request and did amazing with Luna. Allie even brought in a package for me without me having to ask. I highly recommend Allie!!!”

“Lena provided great care for our two cats while we were away. Even our cat who dislikes strangers seemed to enjoy her time with Lena. Very communicative and professional!”

“Wallis did a good job at informing me of what was going on with my pup. It was a smooth weekend and she was super flexible and communicative. Highly recommend.”

“Kim was super easy to coordinate with and very flexible. She took great care of Joules while we were gone, and gave us good updates. Would 100% book with Kim again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood, whether my own, or for friends, family, and neighbors. I will treat your sweet dog or cat as my own. I can go on long or short walks, can administer medications, can play or provide sweet loving attention to your fur babies. I work part-time, so I’m happy to be at your home or taking care of your dog/cat before 9 and after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. The other days of the week/weekend I can be there as often as you’d like, for as long as you’d like. I can walk dogs for as long as you need, we can work out a schedule that works best. My yard is partially fenced, so I fully intend to watch your dog during outdoor time if you are not one to use a lead. My house is 3-stories so perfect for any size animal. At the client’s home, I will follow your instructions as close as possible, and can provide a safe and loving presence. The only caveat is my house has 2 cats, so we must be sure the the visiting dog is safe with cats.
“Top notch cat care for my shy boy! This was my second time booking with Hannah and I highly recommend her! I really appreciated the daily updates with photos”

“10+/5 STARS! Ted (and his wife!) are my superheroes! I got unexpectedly stranded at the ER w/just few short hours left to remotely find care for my cat & my dog, already stuck in crate for hours. All the sitters replied "unavailable", but Ted responded "yes" & IMMEDIATELY jumped to action! He even brought his wife to help! I am so grateful to both for responsiveness, understanding and compassion, and for their INSTANT action and patience to operate in my messy place (I was amidst major cleaning when these unforeseen events happened)! I would love to use Ted's help again, hopefully in a less stressful situation. BIG THANKS & MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!”

“Annie was great! Was able to book with short notice for drop in visits over the holidays. Very communicative and even our shy kitty warmed up to her. Annie was gave updates daily with pictures and how they were doing, even giving our little one her asthma medicine.”

“Kayla was absolutely fantastic. 100% reliable and very communicative! My Kitten, Ham, absolutely adored her company and that made me feel at ease while I was away for the weekend ☺️”

“I can’t recommend Lake enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for us. Every day while I’m at work, she stops by to let my dog out, take him on a nice walk, and give him his lunchtime treats. She even takes care of my cats, which I appreciate more than she knows! She is incredibly caring, detailed, and reliable—the kind of person you feel completely comfortable trusting with your pets and your home. Her knowledge about dogs has been so helpful, too. She even offered recommendations for my pup’s cough, which shows just how attentive and experienced she is. My animals adore her, and so do I! If you’re looking for someone dependable who truly goes above and beyond, look no further.”
