“Richard was a wonderful host, he gave me plenty of updates as well as sending me pics through out my pups stay. He had a big fenced in yard with plenty of space for my dog to run around and play 10/10 definitely recommend.”


“We’re so happy to have met Joe (and Zip!), Phoebe was well cared for and had a great time. Thanks Joe for treating her so well and for sharing updates and photos while she was with you!!”


“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”


“Christy, Louie, and Bandit we’re wonderful hosts. I needed to go out of town for the day and this was my first time using Rover. Traditional dog daycares seem to make Mungo nervous and this was a much better arrangement. Christy was so kind and we were able to do a quick meet and greet in advance. I knew immediately that Mungo would be comfortable with her. It was a huge relief knowing that the dog was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Many thanks!”


“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.”



“We have used Adrienne a couple times now and each time has been great. Bosa doesn't put up a fight when we leave him behind and is in wonderful spirits when we pick him up. They're good about ensuring he gets his herding-breed-exercise during his afternoon there. Recommended!”


“Shannon and Stephen were wonderful with Finn! They were very flexible with our drop-off times, and Finn obviously had a great time playing with their puppies. They made sure to send lots of adorable photo and video updates of Finn having a blast. Highly recommend!”


“Sam was so happy with Ariel! We arranged with her last minute and luckily she was available. She was professional and great with Sam. Next time we come through Pittsburg and need a dog sitter, we will definitely contact Ariel.”


“My dog, Franklin, had such a wonderful time staying with Sara! She took great care of him and sent us so many great photos of him playing. I know he had fun because he was exhausted when he got home. I would definitely look to book with Sara again in the future!”


“Ellyn was fantastic! She was flexible with us and super responsive, and our dog was clearly very well cared for! I also appreciated that our dog got lots of exercise and attention, and working with Ellyn was a great and pleasant experience.”


“Booked last minute with Annie and I’m so thankful for her! We were were able to do all the site seeing knowing our doggo was having fun! Thank you so much!”


About: When it comes to pet sitting, my extensive experience and deep love for dogs truly set me apart. I've been around dogs since I was a baby and have been taking care of them for over 15 years. This lifelong familiarity with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. In addition to my experience, I have special skills in both training puppies and providing care for senior dogs. I am well-versed in the unique requirements of each life stage, ensuring that your pet receives the appropriate attention and care. Currently, I have a 1.5-year-old sweet Bernedoodle who is well-socialized and loves both cats and dogs. This personal experience further enhances my ability to provide a loving and comfortable environment for your pets. Whether it's playtime, training, or senior care, I am dedicated to offering the best possible care for your furry family members. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day starts with dedicated time for feeding, walking, and playing with my dog, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Throughout the day, I incorporate short training sessions and regular bathroom breaks to maintain a structured schedule. In addition to daily care, my weekly routine includes more extensive activities such as grooming, longer outdoor adventures, and socialization opportunities with other pets. I make sure to set aside time for veterinary visits and any necessary health check-ups. Having a consistent routine not only keeps my own dog happy and healthy but also ensures that I am always prepared to provide top-notch care for other pets as well. My experience with my Bernedoodle has taught me the importance of maintaining a balanced and enriching routine, which I apply to all the pets I care for. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and loved. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to play and relax. I ensure that each pet has their own designated area with their bed, toys, and food/water bowls. Regular walks, playtime, and training sessions are part of the daily routine, along with lots of affection and attention. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, making sure they are happy and stress-free. When providing care in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize any disruption. I follow the feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with the pets, ensuring they get enough exercise, play, and companionship. I am also attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, treating it with the utmost respect. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or providing extra cuddles, I make sure every pet receives personalized and loving care.


“Poppy had a great time with Pam. She was close, sent pictures, and cared for my dog who struggles with anxiety before getting comfortable! I would definitely recommend Pam!”


“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my Winston for the day. Great communication and gave him his medicine when needed. She took him on multiple walks and he came back a happy boy. Thanks Sarah!”


“This was Sophie’s first time staying with Lauren. Sophie seemed comfortable with her right away. Lauren communicated with us during her stay, so we knew all was well. They went on walks, and she even took Sophie to a coffee shop to chill. We would use Lauren again!”


About: Overnight / day care: - 2 to 3 walks a day, around 30 minutes - at home care for 8 hours during the work week - spacious house with fenced in yard I grew up with three dogs, caring for them wrapped into my day to day routine growing up. Friends, family, and even coworkers have asked me to pet sit, allowing me to enjoy the perks of pet ownership whilst taking a hiatus on personal ownership currently. I also currently volunteer at the local shelter, which has provided me ample experience on how to manage different types of dogs with varying temperaments. I have a flexible work schedule, being able to pick and choose days/hours I work. My husband and I live quite an active lifestyle, going for daily runs/walks, and can incorporate your pet exercising needs however required. I love love love playing with dogs so rest assured your pet will be mentally and physically stimulated ! I live in a three story home with a fenced in yard with my husband. Your pet will have free rein in our entire home and have ample of outdoor space as well! If staying at a clients home I will be very respectful of your personal space and house rules !
