“Victoria is amazing! We board our sweet girl Hannah who is a doberman mix, and she has the best time. Victoria communicates twice a day and more if needed to help us feel better about leaving Hannah especially when its more than a week. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of our sweet girl!!!”
“Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Augusta was great! My dog is always happy to see her. I even had a flight cancelation and was late picking my dog up and Augusta was completely understanding and flexible.”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! I had a last minute work trip and Richard was so accommodating. So kind and I am so appreciative. Mosi had a great time and was ready for a nap when he came home!”
“Lucas did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely trust him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“Tia is responsive, easy to work with, and gives the pups plenty of attention. She sends photos and updates regularly and despite not wanting to be left at the sitter’s I can tell my dog has a good time!”
“Nelia is the BEST dog sitter that I have ever had. Very personable, professional and caring. She follows my instructions completely and sends frequent updates with photos. She walks him everyday and her fenced in backyard is a bonus. She truly cares about giving my dog a wonderful experience, with lots of love from her and her young children. Quick response and flexible to meet my last-minute needs. Will definitely book again!!”
“This is the first time Brody has stayed in someone else’s home without us. What a good experience Brody had. And we feel very comfortable leaving him with Ellyn again. He was well cared for in every way.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog Penny received! From the moment we met Valerie, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes her job seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure Penny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Not only did she provide plenty of walks and exercise, but she also incorporated fun enrichment activities that kept Penny's mind stimulated and tail wagging. We loved getting regular updates and photos (even videos!) of all their adventures together. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Penny was in such loving hands, especially since this was the first time Penny stayed with Valerie. She treats every dog like her own, with so much patience, affection, and attention to detail. We came home to a happy pup who clearly had an amazing time. We can’t recommend Valerie highly enough and have already booked her again for two more stays! She is the best!”

“We’ve boarded our dog a few times with Coralee now and our dog absolutely loves it. The anxiety she has when we leave has lessened significantly and she is so happy to have doggy friends to play with. We get pictures and/or videos everyday and it helps so much to see her happy and playing.”

“Sari did a great job caring for our cat Lucky. She was professional and easy to communicate with. A huge relief to know our favorite feline was being looked after properly.”
“Lucas took wonderful care of our cat! Lucas sent updates to let us know how our cat was doing. It was our cat's first time away from us, and he was so well cared for -- we couldn't be more appreciative! Our pet looks forward to returning :)”
“We love Rose! She leaves great notes each day, and has built a loving relationship with our cat which we so appreciate! She is reliable and great with communication. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Jessica is wonderful, she makes both of us feel okay about leaving our pets alone for a few days. The updates are great, everyone is fed, everything is clean. Out of a rating of 1 to 10 I would rate her a 13. -Donald & Sarah, Squeaky, Libby, Bruno and Geno.”
“Tony is easily the best sitter we’ve found on rover. We have a complicated old kitty and he administered the medication perfectly and was always on time. My wife and I are gleaming at the photos he takes. He even brought lighting setups for better action shots than we’ve taken of our cat in 15 years. Would hire again ad infinitum (and no, I am not a friend or paid reviewer or something, he really is that good!)”
“I was super nervous but, Bre made me feel so comfortable with her experience and calm manner. Sent plenty of photos and updates each time she came for a checkin with my fur babies. Will definitely be continuing services.”

I had great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands while I was away. I highly recommend Clareese to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter!”
“Wallis did an amazing job taking care of Olivia. My cat came down with a UTI right before I had to go out of town. Wallis kept me updated on her progress, and was very communicative and helpful when Olivia gave us a little scare and had to go to the vet. Olivia is doing very well now, and I’m really grateful that Wallis took such good care of her.”
“Madison did such an excellent job checking in on my cat Kiwi! She was very attentive to her when visiting, and provided a lovely Rover card summary with cute pics and thorough comments. My wife and I knew Kiwi was in good hands with Madison, and would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter!”
“Ashley was extremely responsive and took lots of notes and pictures while watching Yukichi. I last minute asked if she could do 2 drop ins a day for my cat since he was a little lonely, and she was able to accommodate. I felt so much better knowing Yukichi was in her care while I was away for an extended period. Highly, highly recommend!!!”
“This was the second time I've had Divya drop in on my cat and I would keep coming back! She is very prompt and communicative and clearly spends a lot of quality time with clients' pets.”
“David did a fantastic job looking after my two cats for two weeks. He sent multiple pictures and videos every day, and kept me abreast of any issues throughout the time. He brushed my cats and even lint rolled the couch where they slept so the hair wouldn't build up while I was away. I highly recommend him to anyone needing pet care.”
About: I have taken care of our seniors out there, our newbies, and everything in between! There has never been time when I have not had a cat or dog in my house. All of my pets are well taken care of and live long happy lives. My oldest cat Sadie made it to 21 years old, and I currently have a 4 year old Great Pyrenees, 15 year old chiweenie who is still going strong (even with only having one eye)! I also have 4 cats that always keep things interesting! I can administer meds, stay overnight, or just drop in to say hello! I treat every animal like they’re my own so they will be loved and protected while in my care!
“Valerie was totally reliable, and took incredible good care of Hobbes. She played, cuddled and indulged Hobbes’ love for treats. He was a happy camper which we could see from all the photos and videos she sent us. She was able to capture his personality on the photos so well. Communication was prompt and regular as well. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Erin was great! She was patient with Tony while he settled in, and she kept me in the know with cute pictures and updates. I felt totally at ease leaving Tony with her (he clearly loved her), and I'd absolutely book with her again!”

About: Hi! I'm Bre – a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of pet-sitting experience in both NYC and Pittsburgh. I’m based near Swisshelm Park and have cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life. I grew up with a loyal Yellow Lab, a beautiful Golden Retriever, a spunky Jack Russell, and three cats, and am well-versed in the unique personalities and needs of all types of furry friends. Over the years, I’ve provided everything from dog walking and drop-in visits to overnight care and extended house sitting. At the moment, I'm available for walks and drop-in visits. While I’d love to have a dog of my own, my current living situation doesn't allow for it –which just means I have extra love and attention to give to yours! I’m responsible, punctual, and trustworthy. I’m also playful, affectionate, and very in tune with the different energy levels and preferences pets may have. Whether your pup or kitty is full of energy or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll adapt to their needs. You can expect regular updates and plenty of photos during our time together. I’d be happy to meet up for an introduction before booking – just reach out with any questions! I am also independently insured outside of the Rover Guarantee through Pet Sitters Associates. I have a fairly flexible schedule — perfect for daytime walks, outdoor playtime, and evening care. My availability is generally between 8 AM and 10 PM, so I can easily accommodate a variety of routines. At the moment, I’m only offering walks and drop-in visits (no overnight stays), but I’m happy to provide multiple check-ins throughout the day to keep your pet comfortable and cared for in their own home. Please note for April 13-April 30: I will be unavailable for drop-ins + walks after 12pm. I’m more than happy to come to your home to ensure your pets are cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they need in a familiar environment. I approach every sitting with the understanding that I’m stepping into your pet’s world—their home, routine, and safe space. I prioritize consistency and a calm, gentle presence, especially for anxious or timid pets. I’m mindful of my tone, volume, and movements, and I keep routines as normal as possible. With repeat visits, I use the same soft greeting so they begin to recognize and feel safe with me. I never force interaction and always allow pets to approach on their own terms, building trust at their pace.
“Erin was great! Watched our pup with last minute notice, gave us photo updates, stayed in communication. I know pup had a great day with Erin! He got lots of attention! Thank you, Erin!!!”
“Lucas and his family are super friendly! Nova was exhausted from her day of fun. They have a huge backyard that is fenced, allowing her to run around safely. Definitely would recommend Lucas for daycare :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats taken them on walks making sure they were fed and making sure they are taken care of I currently doing CDL school Monday-Thursday 5:00-10pm so any time before or after I can take care of pets. I love all pets so any pet will do I make sure they are fed and well taken care of if they need to go on a walk I will take them as well
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! I am currently in a remote Master’s program which allows me to arrange my schedule as is convenient to my clients. I do all of my course work from home! 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.
“It was Riley's first road trip to Philly (from GA). While his humans cheered on the Temple football team, Brittani provided excellent care and showed Riley around! She even took professional-grade photos of his walks! And, Riley enjoyed playing with her fur baby. If Riley's in town for any other home Temple football game, he'll be asking to go to Brittani's!!”
“Justin is absolutely wonderful! My sweet, quirky fur baby had a great time hanging out with him. He sent updates and pictures (which always makes a dog mama smile) and was very easy to get in touch with. We will definitely be booking another stay with him soon!”
About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.
“Juniper had the best day with Adrienne and her pupper. I felt very secure leaving my furchild with her and appreciated all the photos and videos.”
About: I've lived with cats and dogs all my life. Currently working from home. I worked at Petco for five years so I know a lot about pet care. I'd love to take care of your beloved pet while you're away knowing that they're in good hands with a nice family! I will provide updates daily. I currently work from home and I'm here all the time except when I have to go out for groceries so I'm not out for a long time. Your pet will not be left alone for hours. I have two indoor cats who are friendly to other cats and small dogs. I'm willing to do drop in visits too if you feel more comfortable.
“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with dogs and cats of all personalities! I currently share my home with Kisses, my calico, and Teddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer — one of the highest-energy breeds out there — so if your dog goes a mile a minute, I'm more than ready for it!! Over the years I've dog sat for all sizes and breeds — from tiny lap dogs to large, boisterous pups — and I treat every single one like they're my own. Your pet will be loved, played with, and completely spoiled. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, zoom, and explore that's perfect for dogs who need to burn off some energy. I'm also comfortable administering medication, so pets with special health needs are absolutely welcome. Your baby will get the same attentive care at my place that they get at home. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy stay or a high-energy playmate, I've got them covered. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care is never an afterthought. It's woven into my whole day. I'm home the majority of the week, and on the rare occasion I do step out, I'm never gone for more than 3 hours. Your pet will always have someone present, attentive, and ready to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. No long stretches alone, ever. My home is set up thoughtfully for both dogs and cats. The layout is split-level, with cats having full run of the upstairs and dogs enjoying the main floor plus access to the fully fenced backyard — plenty of space to play, explore, and burn energy safely. The two never have to share space unless everyone is comfortable. I do have a resident calico and a German Shorthaired Pointer, both of whom are friendly and social, so I do ask that visiting pets are comfortable around other animals of their kind. I always offer a free meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone — pets and people — feels good about the stay before any commitment is made. My home is puppy-proofed and high-energy-dog-ready, and I have 24/7 SimpliSafe security monitoring for added peace of mind. You can expect regular photos and updates throughout every stay because you shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions exactly. Your routines, your rules — meal times, crate preferences, favorite toys, walking routes — I stick to all of it. I respect your home as if it were my own, always clean up after your dog outside, and scoop litter boxes daily. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point.
“Carly is amazing!! She took impeccable care of my puppy all day. It gave me total peace of mind while I had to be at work. Carly sent me several updates and many GORGEOUS photos of Rosie’s adventures. It was clear my little girl was having the best time! I can’t thank Carly enough!”

About: I’m back!! I pet sat when I lived in Orlando and then took a break. I am now in Pittsburgh and ready to welcome some new friends. I work from home full-time, in a single-family home with a fenced in yard. I have made a habit of rescuing animals (especially senior animals) and my pack would love some playmates.Whether it is joining in couch cuddles or afternoon zoomies, your little one will feel like part of the family. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds. Including a few years of kennel experience as well as 30 years of personal experience. I have experience with senior animals as well as special needs animals, including blind, deaf, mobility issues, and incontinent. With those things comes a lot of experience in medication as well. Myself and my crew are excited to meet you and your fur babies. I work from home fulltime and a big home body. The most I leave is if I’m grocery shopping or grabbing dinner in the evening. I have a fully fenced in yard. Any boarding pups will sleep in my second bedroom in an appropriate sized crate/playpen. This is the area they would eat their meals as well.
“Tracie was absolutely fantastic with Nova. She came home each day ready for bed as she played all day long, which is truly amazing being she never gets tired. She also loved spending time with Tracie and her family doing countless activities, cuddles sessions, and walks!”
“Justin was great as he was able to accommodate a late evening daycare visit for our dog Fran while we went for an event in town. He was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the timing and was very eager to help. His corgi Watson is adorable and a very social dog. Our dog was anxious but Justin was able to keep her company and sooth her while we were gone for a few hours, she eventually relaxed and laid her head on his lap! I would highly recommend Justin to take care of your dog as he loves them and provides great care for them.”

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!
About: Hey there! I have many years of experience caring for dogs and am a dog-lover at heart. As a kid, my family owned a German Shorthaired Pointer named Emmitt (My brother was an Emmitt Smith fan. Please don't hold that against me! lol). I was responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up after, and most importantly, loving Emmitt ☺️. Over the years, I've dog-sat for many friends, family members, co-workers, etc. and am a very reliable and trustworthy care-taker. As a teacher, I have summers off, so my schedule is very flexible during the summer months. During the school year, I am only available on weekends and potentially during holiday breaks. I am very detail-oriented and will follow whatever instructions are left for me so that your pet is cared for exactly the way you envision. I am happy to send messages, photos, etc. to provide updates about your pet. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!
About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!
“Great communication, punctual, sweet with my dog, productive walks (poop & pee everytime!) and provides good updates ! And helps with last minute bookings when she can. Big fan of Abigayle!”
About: I’ve worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center for over three years, and have years of experience cat sitting for my neighbor. I’ve worked both in the kennel and daycare and have experience in different areas of animal care. As a recent graduate, I have more free time! I am a recent college graduate who works part time at a kennel. I am always able to make time to care for pets and adapt my schedule! I cater to the needs of the animal and owner. With having experience with different needs of an animal at my boarding and daycare job, I have an understanding of how to reach those needs.
“I cannot recommend David enough to care for your pup! David reliably walked my shepherd Ziva 3-4 times a week for over 2 years! He never missed a day unless there were extenuating circumstances (eg. sick) and always took photos and communicated how the walk went. He provided such good care to Ziva and I could tell he genuinely enjoyed seeing her. We are so grateful to have found him on Rover. We are moving away from the area and are so sad to say goodbye to David!”
About: I have had many dogs in my family growing up and have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I am comfortable with walking and taking care of dogs basic needs. I love getting outside and taking walks and would love to do so with a doggy companion. I am currently working full time remotely from home. I have plenty of time to spend throughout the day caring for your little ones. I also have plenty of time for getting outside to take walks. I have a fenced in yard and have 2 cats. I also have 2 guinea pigs, but they are caged and have their own room. I am available to care for your furry friend in my home, where they would be able to either roam free or have a spare bedroom for themselves while in my care.
“Madison was so sweet and caring with my fur baby. He really enjoyed their walks together and it made him feel better to have that gentle care while I was away. I will be booking more walking sessions with Madison again in the near future. Thanks again!!”
About: My name is Sammie, and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have four dogs of my own at home, and I love them all dearly. I honestly just need more dogs in my life. (Don’t tell my dogs though!) I’ll feed your dogs, play with them, walk them, and generally just make sure they are well taken care of. I’m hoping to do this as an extra form of pay for the summer months, and if it goes well, when I’m home on weekends for college too. I have been dog sitting for at least three years, with a little bit of cat sitting experience, too! Give me a holler if you want me to take care of your fur babies, I promise they are in good hands :) I have a part time job right now, but I’m always willing to swing by before or after work depending on your needs! Just let me know what works better for you! I will always do my best to make sure your pets have a safe and clean environment to play and lounge around in! I want to go the extra mile to make your fur babies (and you!) happy!

“Victoria is amazing! We board our sweet girl Hannah who is a doberman mix, and she has the best time. Victoria communicates twice a day and more if needed to help us feel better about leaving Hannah especially when its more than a week. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of our sweet girl!!!”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! I had a last minute work trip and Richard was so accommodating. So kind and I am so appreciative. Mosi had a great time and was ready for a nap when he came home!”
“Nelia is the BEST dog sitter that I have ever had. Very personable, professional and caring. She follows my instructions completely and sends frequent updates with photos. She walks him everyday and her fenced in backyard is a bonus. She truly cares about giving my dog a wonderful experience, with lots of love from her and her young children. Quick response and flexible to meet my last-minute needs. Will definitely book again!!”
“This is the first time Brody has stayed in someone else’s home without us. What a good experience Brody had. And we feel very comfortable leaving him with Ellyn again. He was well cared for in every way.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog Penny received! From the moment we met Valerie, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes her job seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure Penny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Not only did she provide plenty of walks and exercise, but she also incorporated fun enrichment activities that kept Penny's mind stimulated and tail wagging. We loved getting regular updates and photos (even videos!) of all their adventures together. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Penny was in such loving hands, especially since this was the first time Penny stayed with Valerie. She treats every dog like her own, with so much patience, affection, and attention to detail. We came home to a happy pup who clearly had an amazing time. We can’t recommend Valerie highly enough and have already booked her again for two more stays! She is the best!”

“We’ve boarded our dog a few times with Coralee now and our dog absolutely loves it. The anxiety she has when we leave has lessened significantly and she is so happy to have doggy friends to play with. We get pictures and/or videos everyday and it helps so much to see her happy and playing.”
“Nicole watched my dog while I was out of town and did a great job! I got plenty of updates, her home was lovely, and my old dog seemed so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.”
“Alexis was very responsive and was always in contact. She sent a ton of pics of my 1 year old puppy while she was with them. She was flexible with the drop off and pick up times which helped me out a lot. My puppy seemed to have a great time.”
“Ali was sweet and sent us pictures of our pup while she dogs at over a weekend. She was friendly with us and our pup in our introduction a few days before our weekend away and provided great care while we were gone.”
“We are so grateful for Erin!!! Our pup wound up with pneumonia after a kennel boarding and we had a very expensive trip planned for a couple days later. We couldn’t take her back to a multi-dog boarding situation in case she was contagious and she needed space to rest and recover. Erin was so fast with her response and very accommodating for her needs! We got pictures/updates daily and could tell she loved the park by her house. THANK YOU AGAIN!!”
“Raeann was an absolute joy!! After our sitter cancelled last minute we found she had an opening and it was absolutely perfect for our pup. She was a lifesaver for a holiday weekend. He became a part of the family right away and Raeann truly loved him for the weekend the way we love him all the time. You cannot go wrong with Raeann as your sitter, highly recommend!!!”
“Repeat customer!! Gary is so great with our senior pug. He goes above and beyond and has so much compassion. Being a senior pug he gets finicky with eating at times. Gary spoon feed him as we sometimes need to do at home and thought of other creative ways to hmget him to eat. Gary will treat your furbaby as if they are his own. We highly recommend Gary.”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
About: My partner Jack and I love caring for pets!

Whoever you need help with, we’re more than capable. We are so excited to get to know your pets. With us, your pets will get all the attention and exercise they need during your busy day. We are both very attentive to your pets needs and do our best to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We know just how important your companion is to you, so safety is taken into consideration at all times. We keep dogs on leashes at all times when letting them go outside. I work as a barista at a coffee shop and Jack is an employee at Pitt. Together our schedules allow us to have at least 1 person home for most of the day. On rare occasions when neither of us are home, at most we are away for 3-4 hours. We have a large yard with a lead and 2 cats. Our house is moderately sized, with room for playing and relaxing. We are attentive to feeding schedules and potty breaks.
