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!

Tiffany is awesome! She did drop-in visits with our cat Marshall while my husband and I went out of town for a trip. He warmed up to her right away. She is very communicative and super quick to respond. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be re-booking in the future!

Haley was great, and really eased our mind leaving our special needs older kitty in her hands. She was prompt to respond, sent great updates on every visit, and accommodated all the special requests we had to take care of Luna. And even though she barely saw Ellie I know she was also in good hands (Ellie is our hider). I wouldn't hesitate to book Haley again if we are away and need care for our kitties. We did a meet and greet first and that was very helpful to walk Haley through our needs, let her meet the kitties, and let us get to know her a little. Thanks Haley for caring for our girls!

About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!

Lucas took great care of my two elderly cats. When we got back from our week away they were healthy and happy. Lucas even noticed that Cindy was scratching our couch and covered it with a blanket.

Yasmeen is adaptable and considerate when unexpected issues pop up. It's hard to leave your furry friend behind, but knowing they're in such good hands makes it a little easier. I cannot thank her enough for the care she shows for my scaredy cat.

About: I've been dog walking around my neighborhood since I was 15 years old, and since then I've cared for several different dogs with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. One thing that sets me apart is that I'm also a runner. If your dog enjoys extra exercise and is physically able, I'd be happy to take them on runs to help them burn energy and stay active. Whether your dog prefers a relaxed walk, plenty of playtime, or a more active outing, I'll make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they need while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable care. I am available from morning to evening every day of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I follow each pet's routine, provide food, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I keep doors and gates secure, follow all owner instructions, and ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

Breanna was wonderful with our cats while we were away on vacation! She came in for daily drops ins to feed them, scoop litter, and play with them. She sent detailed updates and high quality pictures every day that we looked forward to seeing. I felt really safe leaving our cats and home in her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. In addition to taking great care of the cats she brought in mail/packages and took out the garbage. She also vacuumed up their litter room without me having to ask. There’s nothing better than coming home from vacation to a clean house and happy kitties. Thank you Bre!!!

About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!

Mimi was walked and fed three times a day, and seemed to have a lot of fun while I was gone. David seemed very in tune with Mimi—she tends to be a bit reactive on walks and can be a bit of a challenge. Thank you so much David! I will definitely reach out again the next time I go out of town 🙂

David is reliable, caring, and really great with our (sometimes grumpy) elderly cat. He always goes above and beyond to make sure all is well in our home while we are out of town. I especially appreciate that he always makes sure to find out sometimes difficult to find cat and takes time to make sure he is doing ok.
