“Thank you so much for taking good care of my Dazz, the videos and updates kept me at ease as I was in another country. Would definitely use your service again!”
“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”
“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“I can’t thank Bola enough for the outstanding care she provided for my dog during our 8-day trip! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and attentive to all my questions and concerns. I loved receiving daily updates, complete with photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, I was impressed by the detailed report Bola provided, highlighting daily activities, meals, and any unique moments. It's clear she genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs in her care. I highly recommend Bola to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Hannah took wonderful care of Margot. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Margot came home happy.. Margot is an energetic teenager, and Hannah took it all in stride. We’d happily have her watch Margot again.”
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“This was my first time leaving Noodle since I adopted him. As soon as I walked in to the house, I knew he would be safe. I received daily updates about his stay for the time he was there. Noodle seemed like he had the best time and he was able to socialize with a family and other dogs. I will definitely be rebooking again!”
“Mercedes was wonderful. There was a timely drop-off and pickup, she provided regular updates with pictures, and not to mention she made me cookies! I’ll be using her again and my dog loved her and her family!”
“HANDS DOWN THE BEST PET SITTER!!!!!! Meghan took great care of my pup Snoop. She makes you feel very comfortable and at ease leaving your Pet. The communication and updates were spot on. I will DEFINITELY recommend Megan, and will request her in the future.”
“My dog Buddy had the best of time with Janet. I would highly recommend Janet. Buddy was almost sad returning home. I received pictures during the stay which I really loved. Thank you Janet for making my dog feel at home and loved!”
“Tanesha was wonderful! This was Midnight's first time with a sitter, so we were very worried. Tanesha sent us pictures and videos of Midnight throughout her stay. I can tell that she gave Midnight her undivided attention. We were very pleased with Tenesha, she treated Midnight if she was her own. We would definitely use Tanesha again.”
“Ashley was amazing!! She watched our mini dachshund Ellie for a week and did an incredible job. We got adorable photo updates daily and enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing Ellie was in good hands. Definitely recommend!”
“Our Daisy had a great time at her overnight with Bridget. Bridget was great to work with, excellent communication and sent lots of pics/videos. Definitely recommend.”
“This was our first time leaving our not-quite-two-year-old frenchie with someone other than family. I was a nervous wreck dropping him off. Not even 24-hours later, my nerves were calmed. Sandy is wonderful. She took him for walks, sent texts and pictures, and was honest in how our dog was doing. After seeing them snuggling together in pictures, I could tell he was being well taken care of. I'm already putting our dates together to book her for future dates. I highly recommend. Thank you, Sandy!”
“Katie is an excellent sitter! I highly recommend booking her. I appreciate how flexible she is about logistics. First, I accidentally sent Katie to the wrong address to pick up my dog. She was patient and understanding about the mistake. Then, last minute I had to extend the booking one additional day due to travel delays, which Katie accepted without issue. Katie also communicates well. She responds quickly, and sends regular updates about your pet. We will definitely book Katie again!”

“GREATTTT job. Beverly took such great care of our 4month old puppy. We had recently purchased her and was planning a trip that wasn't dog friendly. So, i began searching the internet and found Beverly, she lives less than 5 mins from us and truly was a God send. I will definitely be booking Beverly for all our future travels. P.S. Star loved her too.?”
“Coretta is very friendly and got along well with my pet. She leaves very detailed notes and sends pictures every visit. I really appreciate the care she took with my pet and the time she took with updating me. She also was very respectful of my apartment everything was the way it was before I left when I came home. Would definitely book with Coretta again and would recommend her to everyone”
“Robyn was absolutely great!! The meet and greet went smooth and she got along with my pup very well. I felt very comfortable from our conversation that this would work out great! Robyn responds quickly and provides updates during her check ins. I didn’t even have to ask for photos or how well my pup stayed within her routine! Siri is an older gal who takes meds from time to time, and Robyn let me know how much experience she had working with senior babies and administering medicine. I will 1000% look forward to booking with Robyn again ✨”
“Jayden is very kind and attentive and professional! Both our cats seemed really relaxed and happy around them, and they did an amazing job sticking to the cats’ care routine. It was such a relief having the peace of mind to trust someone to care for the little guys. Thank you, Jayden!!”
“Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!”
“Alexa was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. It was my first time hiring a sitter and my cat is very timid and shy and Alexa was very patient and supportive of my cat’s needs and earned her trust. Would definitely hire Alexa again.”
“Jennifer did a superb job taking care of my kitty Mira while I was traveling! I am grateful to have found such a wonderful and reliable cat sitter. Very highly recommended!”

“Our kitty had a great time with Manon 😸. She was very nice to him and made sure he was comfortable when we were away. She was responsible and communicated clearly with us when needed. Thanks Manon!”
“Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.”
About: I've taken care of multiple cats. I even have cats of my own so I am familiar of what they like and how to care for them. I have previous experios with caring for cats who have medical needs.
“Tara was great with my sassy cat Jolene. I appreciate all the updates and additional help bringing packages in and checking on our turtle! Would absolutely book again!!! Thank you Tara.”
“Courtney was amazing with my cat. I was worried because this was my first time leaving him with someone besides my family, but she made me feel comfortable after chatting with her. She kept me updated with messages, videos & photo of him playing with her cat and herself. I will Definitely use her again soon!”
“Kelara took amazing care of my 6 cats and was extremely accommodating of their unique needs (different food, separation from each other). Would definitely hire her again next time we're out of town!”

About: Kyle and Ben have been caring for dogs in our home for over fifteen years. We have experience administering medications, whether they be topical, ingested or intravenous. Our goal is to make sure you know your dog is safe and well cared for while you're out of town. We are very quick to respond to all phone calls, text messages and emails and will keep you posted with photos and updates on how your dog is doing while they are staying with us. We also provide flexible pick up and drop off hours for your convenience and can provide transportation if necessary. Kyle has several years of experience working in the pet care industry, starting with shelter work, moving onto a dog daycare/boarding facility and managing of two different dog and cat supply stores (one local, one corporate) in the last fifteen years. She is certified in dog and cat first aid and CPR by the American Red Cross and has experience administering topical, oral and intravenous medications. She has extensive experience handling senior and disabled animals, as well as dogs with behavioral issues. We have always loved dogs and owned dogs throughout our respective childhoods, but Kyle has gotten more hands on experience in the last fifteen years by dabbling in different fields of animal care. She worked as a kennel attendant at the local SPCA for a period of time, caring for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. It was there that she learned proper care techniques and how to administer medications. She took these skills with her when she went to work first as a kennel attendant and then as the office manager of a small dog daycare and boarding facility. She spent the next seven years serving as store manager of two different natural dog and cat supply stores, where she helped pet owners provide their animals with healthy natural foods, treats and other supplies. She also organized many in store events to help highlight and raise funds for many local rescues and shelters. In 2020, Kyle completed school to become a dog groomer and has been grooming dogs in Hyde Park for the last several years. Both Kyle and Ben work mainly from home, or not far from home. Kyle works as a dog groomer and is able to bring your dog to work with her during the day to minimize any time your dog may spend without human supervision. We never allow anyone off leash on walks, and we do not utilize off leash dog parks for safety reasons. All of our pets are fully vaccinated. Feeding times are always supervised to prevent any potential food aggression. Toys and chews are put away when human supervision is unavailable to prevent resource guarding.

“We have been consistently using Beverly since our pup was 3 months old. Beverly does weekly walks for us as well as daycare and overnight stays. Charley loves her Beverly and she has quickly become part of our family.”
About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take the trust you're placing in me. I understand that pets are family and leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult. That's why I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. I take the time to learn their unique personality (energetic, shy, or just needs a little extra attention), routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have the flexibility to give them the attention they deserve. With an open schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I know that being away from their owner can be an adjustment for some pets, so I do my best to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and happy, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in compassionate and dependable hands. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain the routine they're familiar with, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their needs, whether that's a fun walk, playtime, mealtime, or some extra attention and affection. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet happy while giving you confidence that they're in good hands.
About: As a previous dog owner and sitter of nearly a decade, I have a very strong skill set when it comes to catering to your unique pup's needs! I am keen on carefully following the instructions left by dog owners while also using my own sensible judgement to make the best decisions for each pet. I can't wait to meet both you and your pup! I am a full-time CMU student, so I'm available to care for your pet(s) predominately on the weekends and all semester breaks during the school year, but anytime during the summer! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs unfortunately. However, I do live within 3-5 minutes away from several parks, including Mellon Park, The Walled Garden, and Baum Grove Park.
About: I have had dogs for about 20 years. I love all animals and I treat them like they’re family. Play time is the best time with animals but naps are always great too. Making sure they have all they need is my top priority. I am also great with cats too! Making sure animals have their proper food and medicine (if applicable). An adundant amount of play time and showing them that I care is very important to me! I love dogs like no other and I couldn’t see life without them.! I have been watching after animals since I was about 5 years old. I’ve grown up with animals in my home, therefore I see no better way to describe them other than Family! I currently live have an open schedule and am able to help pet families on a more consistent basis. I would love to incorporate caring for your pet in my daily routine, I.e walks, feedings, etc! In my clients homes, I will abide by safety and respectful rules. If they have a fenced in yard, I will allow the animal to roam freely or take the pet on a walk around the neighborhood. I do not have a yard in my home, therefore, animals will only go on walks around my neighborhood. I am on the search for a dog part near by that I would drive the pet to!
“Roxy is the best. If I could, I would give her 10 stars. Amber has had 3 walks with Roxy now and she loves it. Amber is a 8 month old puppy who is not easy to handle. Roxy takes her time to make my pup comfortable and happy. She gives out a gist at the end of each walk and it really gives me a collective idea on how to train my dog. We are really happy with Roxy and we are planning to be her repeat client.”
“Mother-in-law said Stella LOVED Bola and was so excited for all her walks!! The only thing she would change to make this a 5 start rating was the inconsistancy of arrival time and lack of communication in regards to being late. Overall, amazing service!! We look forward to working with Bola again in the near future!!”
About: I got my first dog at 8 years old and loved taking care of them ever since. I’m grammar school I worked with my grandmothers neighbor raising and breeding Great Danes.

About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.

“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”
“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“I can’t thank Bola enough for the outstanding care she provided for my dog during our 8-day trip! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and attentive to all my questions and concerns. I loved receiving daily updates, complete with photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, I was impressed by the detailed report Bola provided, highlighting daily activities, meals, and any unique moments. It's clear she genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs in her care. I highly recommend Bola to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Hannah took wonderful care of Margot. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Margot came home happy.. Margot is an energetic teenager, and Hannah took it all in stride. We’d happily have her watch Margot again.”
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“This was my first time leaving Noodle since I adopted him. As soon as I walked in to the house, I knew he would be safe. I received daily updates about his stay for the time he was there. Noodle seemed like he had the best time and he was able to socialize with a family and other dogs. I will definitely be rebooking again!”

“This was our first time leaving our not-quite-two-year-old frenchie with someone other than family. I was a nervous wreck dropping him off. Not even 24-hours later, my nerves were calmed. Sandy is wonderful. She took him for walks, sent texts and pictures, and was honest in how our dog was doing. After seeing them snuggling together in pictures, I could tell he was being well taken care of. I'm already putting our dates together to book her for future dates. I highly recommend. Thank you, Sandy!”
“Katie is an excellent sitter! I highly recommend booking her. I appreciate how flexible she is about logistics. First, I accidentally sent Katie to the wrong address to pick up my dog. She was patient and understanding about the mistake. Then, last minute I had to extend the booking one additional day due to travel delays, which Katie accepted without issue. Katie also communicates well. She responds quickly, and sends regular updates about your pet. We will definitely book Katie again!”
“Luxi was very easy to work with! She was both kind and flexible despite my own schedule being a little bit variable. Costello came back to me very happy and well cared for. I really appreciated her help and would definitely book her again :)”
“Ruben was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure Kodak enjoyed his time there and was taken care of. Great communication, he responds quickly & I received pictures & updates throughout the day & evening. Kodak got a long well with his dogs and enjoyed playing with them! When I picked him up Ruben gave me a thank-you bag with a handwritten note (it was so sweet) & a squeaker toy for Kodak. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
About: Hey! I am a responsible, attentive sitter who understands that pets are family. I provide a calm, structured home environment where your dog can feel safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, including shy dogs, energetic pups, and senior dogs who need a slower pace. I'm patient, consistent, and very tuned in to behavior and emotional cues, which helps dogs adjust quickly and feel more secure. I work in a helping profession, so I naturally prioritize communication. You'll receive regular updates so you can relax knowing your companion is doing well. My home is well organized, supervised, and structured. Pets get real attention, whether it's playtime, routine walks, medication reminders, or just a cozy place to rest. Daily routine is structured. Dogs recieve morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks every 3-4 hours. Feeding on their normal schedule, provided by family. Supervised downtime. Limited number of boardings so each pet can receive attention, playtime, and a calm, predicatable environment throughout their stay. Home is safe, structured and loving! I have a fully fenced in yard for secure outdoor time and supervised play. I have a friendly dog who enjoys company and can help visiting pups feel comfy and social. Night crating is optional, and can be used if part of your dogs normal routine. Dogs welcome on furniture. For safety, up-to-date vaccinations are required, and dogs to be comfortable around children and other dogs.
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!”
