“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.”
“Ann was marvelous! She took wonderful care of our dogs. And left the house in perfect order. Excellent communication with daily updates and pics.”
“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“Kristina and Fletcher stayed with our dog for two weeks while we were in Europe. Just before we left, our dog developed both a fear of walking at night due and some gastrointestinal issues. We were extremely worried about leaving her but they gave her lots of love and patience about walking and rolled with her new diet restrictions. They also sent us lots of updates because they knew we were worried. We came back to a happy and healthy dog and are grateful to have had two conscientious dog pros with our girl when we couldn’t be.”

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs of all kinds, including reactive pups and those needing medication. I truly love animals and take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Working from home allows me to be flexible and fully present—your pet gets real attention, not just a quick visit. I work from home so I have to ability to step away to care for people’s pets. I am also available most days and times It’s more than just walking dogs or making sure they have food and water. I want them to make sure they know they are cared for emotionally as well and get some energy out by playing and interacting

“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”

About: I have 4 dogs and have taken care of 2 of them since they were puppies. I got my first dog in 5th grade as a gift and it was my responsibility to take care of her. Then I got my second dog when I was in 9th grade and I have taken care of both of them since. I take care of my dogs daily by feeding them, taking them out, and for walks. I also play with them and make sure that they have what they need. I am able to accommodate for what each dog and their owner needs and I can let them out or take them on walks if needed.
“Jessica is outstanding!!!!! Rocky is always so well taken care of when he’s with Jessica!!! She’s been very accommodating in last-minute situations if she can be and it’s so appreciated!!!! I love being able to be away and never have to worry about my boy! I know, she’s got him.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11 years old. I have two dogs of my own and have grown up around a lot of animals. I have lots of experience cat-sitting and dog-sitting/walking for neighbors and family members throughout the years. I'm working full-time but am working remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for all of your pet related needs during lunchtime or after-work hours on weekdays. I will do my best to make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy at your home when I come in to visit/walk them. Refreshing the food, water, and anything else as needed.
“Madison is wonderful! She took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for my son's wedding. We've never left them before ( without a family member). We will certainly use her again when the opportunity presents itself.”
“Michelle was wonderful, and followed our instructions perfectly while we were away. She gave us updates frequently, which was very appreciated. My girls were comfortable in her care. The fact Michelle is a veterinary technician made me feel even more comfortable leaving my animals in her care. We had an issue with our air conditioning, & she let us know right away and even took steps to help us in that area. She let us know when she would arrive, and when she left as well. I will be booking with her in the future, and you should too :)”

“Sydney has watched Freddy multiple times and every time has went super smoothly! Freddy is always excited to see her and runs straight to her! Freddy can be full of energy so Sydney takes him on great walks to help burn up some energy, which he thoroughly enjoys. Would definitely recommend Sydney and know that Freddy will be looking forward to the next time he stays with her!”

Rachel M.
“Rachel has dog sat both of my dogs for several years. She is great with them! On top of just walking them, she has done several overnights and each time it's a relief knowing my dogs are in good hands. She is attentive to their needs and follows through with any special requests I have for my dogs. She also will communicate frequent updates on how the dogs are doing while I'm away. I especially enjoy the pictures she'll send of them during their walks, playtime, etc. Rachel is a huge animal lover and it carries over to her care of my dogs. I highly recommend Rachel and will continue to use her help myself.”
