Abby, was so great with our Sailor. She has a friendly, confident and warm way with dogs! Sailor loved her right away when they met. I could tell how excellent her caregiving was as he did all his routines great with her-- a walk, bedtime routine, ate his meals, was calm and great when we got home. He is used to us being around and I hadn't left him for an overnight for some years, so it is all the more impressive that he adjusted so quickly to Abby. Also, we loved getting the detailed updates and pictures! We are so happy we were able to have Abby help us for these couple of days and know Sailor will want to have her back! Thanks for taking care with all our little notes about things, Abby! Hope we can have you back soon!

Regan has been walking my dog for months! I love having her. During that time my puppy was just 12 weeks old when we started and she’s been so flexible along the way as my puppy learned & grew. Thanks Regan!! 10/10 would recommend!

Danielle is awesome. We have four dogs, three of them on the bigger side, and one has to wear a belly band due to marking in the house. She’s awesome about getting it off him before going out to potty and putting a new one on. It’s an odd task, but she handles it with ease! She does weekly visits for us and is great with the pups. Trustworthy and thorough - we highly recommend her!

Wallis was the best sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet our girls before caring for them and even got our shy cat to come out of our shell around her. We can tell that she cared about our cats like they were her own and will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future if able!

About: Located in Bloomfield / Shadyside — I’ve had over 10 cats in my life (many of whom lived to 18+!) as well as 2 dogs. I’ve pet-sat for all kinds of dogs, cats, and fish for neighbors and friends. Feel free to reach out and I can drop by to feed and play with the cat, take the dog for a walk, whatever you need! Have taken care of both old and young pets. Currently have a flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and we can see what works ! I have a car which gives me even more flexibility. I’m diligent in following instructions and always keeping an eye on potential hazards or escape routes for your beloved pet. I’m a quick communicator and won’t hesitate to ask any questions !

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Ranging from high energy boxers to labs, indoor and outdoor, you name it. I unfortunately don’t now because of living in the city and no pet policies. I’ve cat and dog sat for friends, family, and even professors in college, and now I want to officially! I love seeing funny requests like ‘needs a gourmet meal prepared (theatrics of course but I’d cook lol) or they won’t eat.’ Big fan of the cheese tax, because me too, and cats who are bread bakers. I love pets of any kind and size (even big dogs, snakes, etc) right when I meet them. I can be patient if they’re not a fan at first! I’d love to be able to help others and animals who have working parents, or even parents who just want to have fun and need some help. My daily and weekly schedule are pretty flexible! I work from home most days aside from Sunday really. I tend to have gaps during the day and work mostly in the afternoon and evening! I do live in the city and don’t mind boarding pets but I also want them to have space to roam so I rather come to you! I’m more than happy to take pets outside, to parks, on walks, or play. I know a lot of pets like consistency so I can prioritize working with you to find a set schedule.

Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!

Maddie was the best at taking care of my cats! They love attention, and Maddie made sure to spend time with them, in addition to giving food and water of course. Maddie also made sure to reach out with a few questions as they came up, which I really appreciated since it showed a genuine desire to give my pets amazing care. I definitely plan on rebooking with Maddie!
