Heather was great and provided all the peace of mind we needed while we went to visit family. I let her know ahead of time that I was a bit anxious, and she was very punctual, communicative, and understanding. She sent regular updates, and was patient in letting our senior dog warm up to her while she stayed in our home. She was flexible and able to stay on top of our dog's needy meds/food schedule, and we came back to a happy, healthy pup. Our primary concern was our dog's care, but it was a bonus that Heather was a clean and respectful houseguest. We'd love to book with her again in the future :)

She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!

Maura did great with both Ollie and Olive. Ollie is a bit sassy at times and Olive can be very clingy and she did great with both. Maura was also able to make arrangements if she needed to be gone longer throughout the day. I appreciated the updates while I was away along with the goofy pictures of my pups as well as the video. Will definitely plan to book again when I need to go out of town! (:

Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!

Valerie was fantastic!! She took such wonderful care of our dog during the week we were traveling. She took him on hikes, brought him a new toy to explore, and sent frequent updates, including the cutest videos of his daily activities. Valerie was a great communicator and incredibly responsive. She took great care of our house and left it better than she found it (our dog bowls were sparkling!). We highly recommend her!

Matthew stayed at my house with my dog and he did an excellent job. My pup got all his walks in and the comfort of being home. Matthew was responsible and respectful. He communicated clearly and sent pictures throughout the weekend. I hope he is available next time I travel and need sitting services!

Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.

About: As a kid, I took responsibility for training my family's golden retriever puppy, using a clicker and treats. We frequently played fetch and tug of war in our yard. After his passing, my family adopted our current 120-pound Bernese Mountain Dog. He was trained by his previous owners, but I taught him the boundaries of our yard, to avoid the need for an invisible fence, and taught him a few new tricks. I quickly learned how to handle this beast on a leash and enjoy hiking with him on local trails or taking him to the dog park. I also have experience bathing him at Tractor Supply and implementing a special diet and daily vitamins to help his health and bone strength. I am a full-time student at the University of Pittsburgh with a part-time job. My days are busy, but my evenings after 6 pm are open Monday-Thursday. Friday- Sunday, I am available all day. I can stay overnight, do drop-ins, or evening walks. I typically rely on the bus, but have access to a car if needed. I will ensure that I maintain your dog's typical feeding schedule and diet, using alarms and written instructions. I am also responsible for providing the necessary medications. I will check their water dish throughout the day, and if you have a cat, check the litter box at least once a day- more if you advise. I can walk after breakfast and after dinner. I try to find the coolest part of the day when it is warm. I keep a very clean house when sitting, and will ensure I leave your home cleaner than I found it.

Matilda was amazing with our dog, Biscotti, especially during a crazy winter storm. When our flight was canceled, she kindly stayed an extra night without hesitation. She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of him. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!

Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!

Lisa responded quickly to a last minute request to watch our dog in our home for the weekend. Sadie 🐶 loved her immediately, which is not her typical reaction to new folks, and so did we! She was kind, respectful of our home, and worked to put us all at ease as Sadie can be a bit anxious and this was the first time we’d ever left her with anyone she doesn’t know well. She provided updates and photos, and worked around our schedule for a meet and greet and our departure/return times. We will absolutely book Lisa again the next time we need a sitter.

Olivia was WONDERFUL with our girl (2.5 yo Staffy, LeiLei). Through the regular pictures OIivia sent us over the course of our two and a half week trip, we could tell LeiLei was healthy and happy which enabled us to enjoy our trip without any worries. Olivia also took great care of our house and left everything spic and span, and in perfect condition on our return. We will absolutely rebook with Olivia next time we have plans to go away.

Thank you Kaitlyn! Our big shy Great Dane, rescue kitty cat, and our home were weIl cared for by Kaitlyn. I appreciate Kaitlyn's patience with a water issue, and her consideration in putting away a delivery of frozen fish (that would otherwise have been a stinky homecoming!). The animals were safe and sound and the house was clean, kitchen sparkling (I noticed!) when we returned home. I could tell the animals were comfortable around Kaitlyn and I hope she will come back again.

Andrew did a very good job with our two cats. They can be fraidy cats, and Andrew took his time with them and respected their quirks. We also really appreciated that Andrew came to visit an extra time before we left so the cats could get used to him. They seemed comfortable and content when we got home. Andrew also took good care of the house. We'd happily hire him again!

I could not have wished for a better caregiver! It is evident in the photos that my pets loved interacting with Elad and especially trips to the dog off-lease area. Just a week before my trip, Mr. Darcy was diagnosed with diabetes, and I am grateful that Elad accepted the challenge. Thank you sooo much for not only making all the pets comfortable, but also keeping them healthy. Exceptional service, I highly recommend Elad!
