“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”


“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”


“We loved having Mariah dog sit for us! She took the time to come by and meet Bruno before the scheduled date which is always so helpful. She sent lots of updates and pictures and even helped clean up the guest room after her stay. I could tell Bruno was so comfortable with her and he enjoyed having her around. I hope to work with Mariah again soon!”


“This is my second time using Sydney for pet sitting. She puts so much car into watching the animals she’s charged with. She does a wonderful job with my anxious dog and very shy cats. I trust her to take good care of my home as well. Looking forward to continuing to use Sydney in the future!”


“Brooke did an amazing job with our girl while we were out of town. So many wonderful updates and pictures let us know our pup was doing great. Brooke was great to work with!”



“We have booked Natalie multiple times now for house sitting our two fur babies! She’s always wonderful with them, texts updates, and leaves our house in great condition.”


“Alyssa did a fantastic job watching our dog Thor when we went out of town for an extra long weekend. She showed up on time, excited and prepared for the visit. Sent pictures and updates a few times everyday, which gave us peace of mind. We will be using her again in the future.”


“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11 years old. I have two dogs of my own and have grown up around a lot of animals. I have lots of experience cat-sitting and dog-sitting/walking for neighbors and family members throughout the years. I'm working full-time but am working remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for all of your pet related needs during lunchtime or after-work hours on weekdays. I will do my best to make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy at your home when I come in to visit/walk them. Refreshing the food, water, and anything else as needed.

“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”


“This was the second time we've worked with Heather and we look forward it every time! She provides detailed updates throughout the day, checks in when necessary, sends the cutest pictures of our dog, and most importantly, makes our dog feel loved while we're away. She handles working with an elderly dog with grace, especially given his medication schedule and separation anxiety. We know our dog is in fabulous capable hands while we're gone. She's a delight to have as a house guest and goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks for your help, Heather!”


About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.

“Darra not only does a good job with Bronson, but she also is extremely respectful of our apartment. She cleans without us ever requesting, and it’s so nice to return home to a clean apartment after a trip. Would easily recommend Darra’s services to others.”


“Gianna was a very reliable house sitter for our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were out of town. My wife and I are very happy with her communication and how helpful she was taking care of the family. We definitely recommend Gianna!”


“David was a great sitter for our two cats. He stayed the weekend and the cats were well cared for and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. He sent us pics and updates while we were away which were appreciated. Would totally recommend David to other people looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”


“Andrew is such a great dog sitter! It's so important to me that both my dog and I are comfortable around anyone we bring into our house. Not only was he able to watch my dog on a holiday weekend with less than a weeks notice, but my dog Lola got all of her usual attention, exercise, play, and treats while I was gone. It's clear that she was comfortable around him, and I felt comfortable and safe with him in my home all weekend. Andrew is going to be my go-to dog walker and sitter in Pittsburgh and I can't recommend him enough!”


“Traisaun was a great dog sitter and Kaya had an absolute great time with him. We could tell she was so relaxed and really enjoyed her time! The house was left in great shape too. We would love to hire him again given the chance!”


“Riley is so kind to our pup Mac! She sends pictures all day to give me a piece of mind about their day together. She keeps me updated all day long. She is so attentive and kind. Thank you Riley!!! Mac already misses you!”


About: I am an experienced cat professional who exclusively cares for cats. Here's what sets me apart and what you can expect when you book me: I prioritize reliable communication. You'll receive daily updates with photos and videos showing your cat playing, relaxing, and thriving. I carefully observe and report any changes in appetite, behavior, litter box habits, and overall demeanor to keep you fully informed. I speak fluent "cat." I understand feline body language and tail communication. Having trained my own cat to do tricks for years (ask for a video!), I'm tuned into what motivates cats and gives them purpose. I personalize care for your cat. Before our first visit, I'll ask detailed questions about your cat's unique personality, preferences, and quirks, as well as your specific approach to feeding, litter, and other routines. I offer specialized services. Beyond standard care, I can brush teeth and groom coats based on your cat's comfort level. For food-motivated cats on scheduled feeding without extra food available to them, I can introduce clicker training and tricks to add mental stimulation. I keep your cat active and engaged. Enrichment and play are essential for feline health! I bring a variety of toys and dedicate real time to interactive play. Your cat will get genuine attention and activity, not just a quick check-in. With a flexible work schedule, I'm available 7 days a week—including weekdays, weekends, and holidays—and can accommodate multiple daily visits or last-minute bookings. My adaptable schedule means I can provide consistent care whenever you need it, whether for regular visits, extended trips, or unexpected emergencies. I maintain a clean, safe environment by thoroughly checking feeding areas, scooping litter boxes, and refreshing water while actively engaging your cat with enrichment toys and play. I'm trained in specialized care like teeth brushing and grooming (which I do routinely for my own cat), and I carefully monitor and document your cat's behavior, appetite, and habits to keep you fully informed.

Rachel M.
“Rachel has dog sat both of my dogs for several years. She is great with them! On top of just walking them, she has done several overnights and each time it's a relief knowing my dogs are in good hands. She is attentive to their needs and follows through with any special requests I have for my dogs. She also will communicate frequent updates on how the dogs are doing while I'm away. I especially enjoy the pictures she'll send of them during their walks, playtime, etc. Rachel is a huge animal lover and it carries over to her care of my dogs. I highly recommend Rachel and will continue to use her help myself.”

Cindy L.
“Cindy took care of our two cats when we traveled and she was amazing! From the first moment, I felt like she’s a great fit to take care of Oliver and Louie. Both of them loved her immediately! Cindy made sure to ask all the important questions on our meet and greet and payed attention to detail. Knowing our cats would be in great hands made our trip so much more enjoyable. Besides fulfilling their basic needs, she went above and beyond, by spending extra time with them, playing with them, cleaning up after them, teaching them a new trick, and even spoon-feeding our picky eater Louie. We were able to reach out anytime and always got a fast response. We reveived pictures and reports of her visit each time. I highly recommend Cindy, your cats will be in great hands!”
