Doggy Day Care in Ruffs Dale

“Sharon is amazing! She took care of our special needs pup and made her feel right at home and part of the pack so we could enjoy a day at Kennywood. Highly recommended and hopefully we'll be able to have her watch our pup again.”

“Thank you, he’s exhausted lol. Sleeping now.”

“Marcy is beyond wonderful! She’s so caring and I can tell Porter has a good time while he stays with her and her dog Charlie. He comes home completely I can’t seem to keep him awake which is amazing because he’s just a 3 month old puppy and is typically a wild child in the afternoons! Marcy was so kind to take him on at a late request and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my little man. She made me feel so comfortable immediately! If I could give her more than five stars I would! She is so kind and I can guarantee she’d treat anyone’s pup like the special little fur ball they are :)”

Sandy K.

“Kelly was a great sitter for our beagle! He spent a fun day with her and her family and came home happy and tired. She is very attentive to anything he might need and was wonderful to work with. Overall a great experience!”

About: Hi, I’m Kaleigh! I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Whether it’s playing in the yard, giving belly rubs, or helping anxious pets feel safe, I bring a calm and compassionate presence to every visit. I have experience with a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies to senior pets who just need a little extra patience. I pay close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities so they get personalized care and you get peace of mind. If I’m caring for your pet, they’re not just getting a sitter—they’re getting a new friend. I have experience with administering medication and caring for “aggressive” breeds. I am pursuing pet sitting as my main income source so I will always be available to care for your pets. Any day any time! With my previous clients, I’ve been entrusted with caring for the safety of the home and their pets. Trusted with a house key. Feeding measured amounts at scheduled times of day. Cleaning after pets with limitations. Securing the home before I leave each time.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have taken care of many of the neighborhood pets with walks pet sitting and some Slight grooming. I am experience with special needs babies. I have given shots and can make sure an animal will take their pill. They are something that I love and I’m hoping to be able to turn this into a full-time career. I work from home and my position allows me a lot of time to work on other things. I will be able to take care of your baby at any time. I have a decent sized backyard that I have a strong wire fence and my house is pretty big which I allow them to have the run. I have cages if necessary but only if the babies want that.

“We have been using Beatriz & Hayden for almost three years. They have cared for all three of our dogs; each who had/have their own special needs or quirks. Beatriz & Hayden have graciously accommodated all of their needs with much love and kindness. Our boys love(d) going there and I always felt comfortable leaving them with these extremely capable sitters. They send great photos and updates during a visit and I was always able to get in touch with them in a very timely manner and always felt respected and acknowledged when communicating with them. These are only some of the reasons why we will continue to drive the extra distance just to book them as our pet sitters!”

“Natasha had a great time! Tina has a great back yard and lots of friends for Natasha to play with.”

“Christa was great. Like many others here, we were headed to Fallingwater and needed a sitter for my 7 month old puppy. After just a few minutes of speaking with Christa, I could tell you was a natural caretaker who loves animals. I felt totally comfortable leaving my puppy in her hands. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day. my puppy was happy and tired when I picked hi m up! If I lived nearby I would absolutely continue to take my dog to her on a regular basis.”
