“Cathy enjoyed her stay at Alis place :) it was very clean and they were understanding and patient with Cathy and her quirks as she got settled on”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, have over 20 years experience working with dogs. I’ve worked with puppies to senior dogs including ones with disabilities. I personally had a dog that lost her mobility due to a spinal cord injury but with hard work and consistency I was able to teach her to walk again. I work for myself from my house so I have plenty of time to help with your fur baby. I currently have one dog after our second one recently passed. Her and I go on two or three walks daily each over 2 miles. She would love to have a friend to play with again. I have a large back yard and a super pet friendly two year old puppy to keep your dog company. If need be I can crate your dog but highly unlikely it’ll ever be needed.

“Beth and her family deserve far more than 5 stars! The care and attention they gave our pups were truly exceptional. From the moment we met them, it was clear that our dogs would be in loving, capable hands. Beth and her family not only showered our dogs with affection, but also took them on daily walks and made sure they felt right at home. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone outside of immediate family, so we were understandably a bit nervous. But Beth quickly put our minds at ease with her daily updates, sharing photos, sweet stories and little moments that made us smile and laugh from afar. I’m so grateful to have found Beth, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”

“10/10! Would highly recommend. Great communication and top tier pictures of our fur babies. You could tell our dogs had a great time with Brad!”

“Gina took good care of our 1yr old puppy - took her on lots of walks, fun outings to breweries, and play times for our energetic girl. Gina was very easy to work with for us as well. She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and went out of her way to coordinate a pick up time when we left some of Lilah's stuff behind.”

“Mary and her family were excellent sitters! She provided detailed updates and pictures throughout Kennedy's entire stay and it was very clear she was well cared for. Sometimes, Kennedy will return home seeming somewhat off, but that wasn't the case here - she received consistent care, attention, and exercise and I wouldn't hesitate to book again!”

“Winnie had a great time with Erica and Andrew! They gave him the one-on-one attention he needed, and their daily updates gave us peace of mind when we were away. We will be back!”

Robert S.

“We have asked them to watch our pups for the past few years now and they are absolutely wonderful sitters. Sebastian and his wife really spoil and give our dogs the attention and care they deserve all while keeping us updated on their stay. As a family of 5 with 3 small children, I think our dogs really enjoy the break they get when staying with Sebastian 😅. They are our go to sitters and we can’t thank them enough for all the love and attention they give our pups!”

“Christy was awesome! Sent lots of pics and updates, gave prompt replies, and took great care of Leo. We will definitely be using Christy again.”

“Allison took such good care of our pups while we were away for the weekend. Communication was awesome while one of our senior boys took a little while to settle in. Very appreciative!”

About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.

“Elizabeth took fantastic care of my dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. I was worried about leaving my one year old pandemic puppy for the first time because she can be nervous and leash reactive. After our meet and greet she was immediately comfortable with Elizabeth at drop off and I felt fully confident that Elizabeth would manage the two dogs getting to know each other well. She sent me pictures and videos every day of my trip and Cedar clearly had a great time playing with Sonder. I was able to have peace of mind”

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Kaylie! This was my first time using this service, so i was a bit skeptical, but she came through at the last minute and was able to care for our pup as one of her own. The piece of mind I had during our trip, knowing our baby was in good hands, was priceless. We received pictures and updates daily. I recommend her to anyone that truly seeks a kind, animal loving and overall good home for boarding their pet. THANK YOU Kaylie!!! 💙”

“Jordyn did a great job with our border collie! She was communicative, sent great pictures, and Banjo really enjoyed the yard and porch. I would absolutely recommend her and we’re thankful we can have someone to rely on in Pittsburgh.”

About: Experience & Background: ​Hands-On Fostering & Rescue Experience. My understanding of canine behavior comes from my experience as a dog foster. Fostering taught me how to support dogs of all personalities—from rescue pups adjusting to new environments, to high-energy dogs needing structured outlets, to timid pets requiring extra patience and gentle encouragement. Fostering trained me to read subtle dog body language, manage different temperaments safely, and strictly follow customized care plans, feeding schedules, and medication routines. Yes, I can give insulin if needed. ​Safety-First Approach & Dog Handling: Your dog’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. In addition to my rescue experience, I practice strict safety protocols during every visit and walk: ​Leash & Gear Awareness: Double-checking harnesses, collars, and leashes before every walk to prevent escapes or gear failures. My well maintained fenced yard has ample amount of room to catch some sunlight and run and play. ​Proactive Walking Habits: Maintaining full environmental awareness on walks—avoiding unwanted off-leash dog encounters, staying clear of busy street hazards, and pacing walks to match your dog's fitness level and the weather. ​Routine & Structure: Following your home rules and training cues consistently so your dog maintains their normal routine without unnecessary stress. ​Tailored Care for Every Stage of Life Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk, structured mental enrichment and playtime, or gentle companionship for a senior pet, I adapt my care to their exact physical and emotional needs. You can expect detailed updates and photos after every visit, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for. I currently work from home during the week and have open availability during the weekends. I'm open to extended stays and to all your pets needs. Hi, I’m Ryan!

I handle leash manners with care and always double-check secure gear before heading out. - Drop-In Visits & Sitting: Includes fresh water, scheduled meals, playtime/enrichment, mental stimulation, and any medication administration your pet requires. - Daily Routine: I stick strictly to the house rules you’ve established so your dog stays on their normal, comfortable schedule. ### Safety & House Rules: - I always conduct a Meet & Greet prior to booking to ensure we’re a great fit. - I do not take unvetted dogs off-leash in un-fenced areas. - I am comfortable managing specific feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and special care instructions.

“Bailey was here for an extended amount of time while we were out of town on vacation and I had complete peace of mind knowing that she was in excellent care. Bailey has stayed here several times now and I love getting pictures and videos and updates every day. Her son is precious and loves Bailey and takes such great care of her too. She gets plenty of play time with her son as well as her adorable dogs who are loving and gentle. Maria is exceptional and I’m so thankful for her and will definitely have Bailey there again when the next need arises.”

About: As a dog mom to two German Shepherds, I have hands-on experience caring for large breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and lots of love. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm attentive to details, dependable, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace with extra cuddles, I'll treat them like part of my own family! I work full-time but have a hybrid schedule, working remotely three days a week and in the office only two days. This allows me to spend most of my week at home and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pets. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away! My home has a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, fresh air, and play. I have two friendly German Shepherds who love having furry friends around, but I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. If you prefer, I can keep my dogs completely separate from yours and provide a quiet, comfortable space just for your pup. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine or helps them feel secure. I follow your instructions closely, respect your pet’s boundaries, and make sure they receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and at home while giving you peace of mind!
