“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”


“Mariah was wonderful - and so incredibly accommodating to our needs, as we travel across country. She took the girls, (Cher and Dion), on long walks to see the sights and sniffs of the city - and provided me with all the pictures I could ever want. Couldn't recommend her enough and will definitely be reaching out again the next time we're back in Pittsburgh.”



“Natalie once again did a house sit for us. She took great care of our senior toy poodle and our cat. We got daily updates and pictures while we away. Thanks again!”


“D'Aujanae was great! She took great care of our pets (housesat our dog and cat) and made sure they got all of the attention and care they could need. It turns out our cat got into something just before we left and started getting sick while we were gone - D'Aujanae noticed that she was acting off and gave us lots of details and videos about it and was super helpful as we coordinated getting her to the vet. I would absolutely recommend D'Aujanae to take great care of your pets”

About: My dog is my entire world! As freshman in high school I rescued an adorable Cocker Spaniel, and I’ve watched him grow with me through high school, college, and grad school. Unfortunately as a grad student transplant I had to leave my best friend in the care of my parents in central PA, but I still need to fill the dog-shaped hole in my heart! I have a decade of personal experience caring for puppies to senior dogs, and love going on walks as much as your active pup! As a grad student working part-time I often have evenings and weekends free for time with your pet! During the summer I am free to walk your dog after 5pm during the week, and many weekends will be open for pet-sitting or check-ins at any time of the day. During the semester my evening availability will vary, but I will have time on Tuesdays to go on walks or check in on your pet and will be available at all hours on many weekends. I also have a car and will be able to travel to all corners of Pittsburgh! I will care for your pet as if it were my own! Since pet care is very important to me, I will follow any and all instructions you leave behind to make sure your pet has the greatest experience possible while their owner is away. I hope to bond with your pet and build trust with them so that they will be comfortable with walks, pet-sitting, and check-ins in the coming months!

“Tiffany is absolutely wonderful! My pup loves her. She was so attentive to his needs and accommodations ( he has a splint on right now ). She sent frequent updates and left my house as clean as it was when I left! Highly recommend - I hope to have her dog sit Lewie again in the future!”


“Annie has been so easy to work with and all five of our pets (some of whom aren’t the most friendly with strangers) love her. She is very patient and communicative, and sends lots of cute pictures! I would strongly recommend her for any pet, and especially for pets who may require more specific treatment.”
