“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.”

“Regan was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease while I traveled for a conference. I have a sick cat, and she was not only understanding, but also communicative and flexible in taking care of him. She also sent tons of photos. I would have her help again in a heartbeat!”

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.
“Jillian was absolutely wonderful and treating my senior dog with love and care <3 cookie and i would be honored to have Jillian’s help again in the future if we ever have the pleasure again! You can trust Jillian to take amazing care of your animal. thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

“Clytie was super great with looking after our cat and gave very detailed notes on the visit which made me feel really good about how everything was going. Our cat warmed up to her super quickly so I think that’s a green flag.”


“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!!!”

“Tony looked after our dog Rocco while we were on our honeymoon and I couldn’t be happier!! We got wonderful photos from each visit and SUCH a cute summation of what they got up to together, we came home to a very happy dog. Thank you so much Tony!!”
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!
“Amazing service! I’ve had to travel so much for work lately and Sarah has been so helpful. She’s done daily check-ins and walks for Oscar and it’s made life so much easier with all of our crazy schedules. Thank you!”
“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 🙂”


“Divya is a really passionate sitter who genuinely cares about animals. She worked hard to earn our cat’s trust and they ended up bonding. The amazing photos and summaries she provides gives us peace of mind when we are away. Highly recommend Divya!”


“Lauren did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on time each day and communicated well, sending us pictures of our kitty every day.”

About: I have been around dogs for much of my life and am happy to fulfill their playing, food, and walking needs! Excited to help out This summer I have an extremely flexible schedule that can work around whatever is needed for your pet care! I am able to take care of pets all weekdays for as long as needed. I will not be able to care for pets in my home, but I am happy to pet sit and walk at clients' homes and around their neighborhoods and parks.

Ashley was fantastic and I would use her services again in a heartbeat. She was extremely thorough in following the instructions I left and reached out with questions for anything that was unclear. Her reports were detailed with plenty of cute pictures for reassurance.

Jen took such great care of our cats! I appreciated her thoroughness and attention to detail. I also loved reading the visit summaries and seeing the pictures. I loved seeing how quickly our cats warmed up to her - amazing given that we have one especially shy cat! I highly recommend Jen!
AnaBeth did an excellent job watching my cat, Greta. She communicated frequently so I was up to date on how Greta was doing. Every visit included lots of pictures, which I loved! I came home to a happy kitty and a clean home. I will definitely be using AnaBeth for future pet-sitting :)

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.
