Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!

The communication before and during the stay was excellent. It was the first time Nelia kept my pet and I received an update on the first night that Princess was adapting well: it was comforting to know it was going well. Upon pickup Nelia shared some specifics about my pet's stay and all of my pets things were together and orderly. Both the drop off and pickup was smooth. Thanks Nelia and I will definitely use your services again!

Mike is one of the most genuine dog sitters I’ve ever trusted my dog with. My dog enjoys the outdoors so I’m glad he took her to the park, on walks, and on an adventure hike. I would absolutely recommend him!

Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!

About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!

Kassandra is the sweetest person we have ever left our dog with. She was very punctual and picked Leo up and dropped him off at the agreed upon time. Leo needed meds and extra care due to his multiple medical problems but Kassandra took care of him very well. Leo was very happy with Kassandra as I could see when she was leaving after dropping him off and Leo didn’t want her to leave. Kassandra gave us daily updates and additional updates as needed so the communication was excellent. I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of Leo!

Sam was the best with Kobe. We are from NC and we were in town for a family event and graduation. We couldn’t find anyone in NC to care for Kobe so we decided to look in Pittsburgh and came across and Sam and we are so glad we did. She cared for Kobe and sent us pictures. He even made a new friend, we would definitely book with Sam again.

Denyal watched Peter for a week while I was away on a trip and I absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter! Peter had a blast with all the other dogs, and she made sure to update me every day and sent lots of pictures keeping my mind at ease! He was exhausted by the time he got home! Highly recommended and will not hesitate to use her again in the future!

Audrey was the perfect caregiver for Rufus. I needed to find someone relatively quickly, and Audrey was available and made sure we could squeeze in a meet and greet so Rufus and I would feel comfortable. Rufus is almost 13 and has some health issues requiring meds. He is often reluctant to take the meds and sometimes to eat enough, but Audrey was successful in making sure he got what he needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Audrey any time!!!

Elizabeth was amazing!! We took our 12 year old small dog, who has alot of anxiety and issues with being left alone and I have never seen her so happy with a sitter!! Elizabeth gave our Mia so much attention and love that we were afraid that she wouldn't want to come home with us. I hope that she never stops dog sitting because I am sure we will never find someone as perfect for our Mia as Elizabeth.
