“Mariah was awesome! She sent me pictures of my pups daily. I felt so confident they were in good hands! She left my house clean. Like she was not even there. Thanks so much Mariah!!”

“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”

“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. 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: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love getting to know each one’s personality. I grew up with a dachshund for nearly 14 years, which taught me the responsibility and consistency that great pet care requires. As I got older, my dad and I also hosted dogs through Rover in our home, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs in a home environment, helping them adjust to new spaces, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I also have hands-on experience working in a dog daycare, where I supervised playgroups of 20+ dogs at a time. I managed group dynamics, kept play safe and positive, handled feeding routines, cleaned up after dogs, and moved them between spaces. That experience made me very confident in reading dog body language and stepping in early to keep things fun and safe. I’m active and love walks, playtime, and just hanging out with dogs. Whether your pup wants to run around or relax and get attention, I’m happy to match their energy. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how they’re doing! I’m a CMU student who loves spending time with animals outside of class. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, so I can keep things safe, calm, and positive. On walks, I stay aware of other dogs, people, and anything that might be stressful or overstimulating. During home visits, I stick closely to your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Because of my daycare experience, I’m confident handling multiple dogs, recognizing early signs of stress, and adjusting quickly to prevent issues. I’ll also keep you updated so you always know your pup is happy and in good hands.

“This was my first booking with Heather and she exceeded all of my expectations. She communicated clearly and gave me peace of mind while I was away. And went above and beyond in preparing the house for my return. And, I returned to a happy kitty. I will definitely book with Heather again.”

“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!”

“Our dog Dunkin was so happy when we returned home! Tells me that Traisaun took great care of him. Appreciated all the pics while we were away!”

Rachel M.

“Sampson had a great time with Allicia. Allicia kept us informed while we were gone and sent us a couple photos each day of Sampson. Would definitely recommend Allicia.”

About: Hi there! I have about 3 years of experience caring for pets for family. I regularly cared for my sister’s dog Titan while living in Virginia. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, runs, and trips to the park while always keeping their safety and comfort in mind. I am responsible with feeding schedules, cleaning up after them, giving them attention, and making sure they eat properly. I treat every pet with patience and care and will keep owners updated while their pet is with me. I’m currently waiting for my new job to begin, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of dates and times. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding times, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of companionship. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never overlooked while they’re with me. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog can enjoy a calm and peaceful environment without the stress of unfamiliar animals. My apartment is clean, quiet, and comfortable, and I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions and do everything I can to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.

“Highly recommended! Elayna was wonderful. She made sure to keep us updated on when she got to our place, walked and fed our puppy, and even our puppy’s naps. She sent us photos and even in the pictures it looked like our puppy, Lima was smiling with her there. Elayna was flexible, communicative, and very kind. We will definitely be booking her in the future for Lima.”

Marisol O.

“Noah was responsive, communicative, and really good with my puppers. Highly recommend!”

“David did a great job with Roxy. He was very careful with all the details of her care, sent pictures and emails regularly, and was very resourceful when he unexpectedly got snowed in! Thank you!”

Susan A.

“Natalie took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. One of our dogs can be a little standoffish with new people but they both took to her immediately. The daily updates were such a relief and allowed us one less thing to stress about! Our home was immaculate when we returned. Would definitely book again!!!”

Sara & Jonathan W.

“Hannah watched my dog Bentley for 4 nights and 5 days! Hannah communicated and sent pictures everyday which I really appreciated. She is very nice and I highly recommend her! I will rebook in the future”

Gabrielle L.

“Maria was great! She was responsible, responsive and very respectful. Would absolutely book again!”

Jessica S.

“Laura was great. Our pets were at ease with her right away. She was easy to communicate with and sent updates throughout her stay. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”

Heather G.

“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!!”

Brooke C.

“Julia was on time and clearly cares a lot about Pepper. They were fast friends. She plays with Pepper, takes her on walks, and is keen to get to know her quirks.”

About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everytime they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.
