“Lyla had the most amazing time. Maria provided regular updates, and I could tell Lyla was so happy to be staying with her. She even was so kind to give us a picture of our pup and a goodie bag to go home with.”
“Raeann was the best, although his stay was only for a day, our pup loves Raeann! She is so full of love and joy and our pup sensed that from our meet & greet and during his stay! Raeann is so very welcoming and warm-hearted, a perfect fit for our sweet cuddler pup!! Thanks Raeann!! ❤️”
“I have tried another local, highly recommended boarding place. My dogs would come home traumatized. I went on a search for a new place that would show patience and love towards my dogs, as my dogs do not trust people quickly. Christina and Daniel meet that requirement. From the get-go, they showed the extra patience and love towards my dogs. Christina & Daniel were very good at sending updates and pictures of the dogs. I could see from the photos that my dogs were happy. They were very good at responding to my questions, which gave me peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Christina & Daniel. This is my new favorite boarding place for my dogs.”
“Nelia is so great! She provides updates at least two times per day, and with multiple pictures. She is very easy to communicate and with timely reply. The kids are very friendly as well. Nelia and her family are definitely recommended! Thank you, Nelia!”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”
“This was my first having Victoria watch my dog and I’m so glad I picked her. She sent videos daily to ease my anxiety about being away for 13 days. I will definitely have Victoria watch her next vacation. She was quick at responding to my messages”
“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!”
“Michelle was a great person for dodger. She took great care of him, he came home happy, and she frequently updated me with photos and texts about him. I will definitely use her again.”
“Priyanka was great! She took gizmo last minute and was very accommodating. She has a dog of her own who is very friendly and playful and very nice and clean home. Definitely a place where you feel comfortable leaving your baby. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and overall it was a good experience. Gizmo told me he had a very lovely time!”
“Beth was wonderful with our dog Lady. She is a very anxious pup. She became Beth’s sidekick. She sent several pictures throughout Lady’s stay. Beth was understanding about a delay due to flights in picking Lady up. We will definitely use Beth’s boarding services in the future.”
“Elaine did a wonderful job watching Max. She made sure he was exercised and played with him and he interacted with her dogs. I would highly recommend Elaine and her services. She also sent me photos and a video that I really appreciated. She asked if Max had any special needs and made sure he was happy.”
“My dog got along great with hers and her family, kept me updated on everything and in the loop with how he was doing, and super flexible and took my last minute request!”
“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.”

“I'm so grateful to have Markie take care of my cats. I have one with diabetes and one with thyroid disease and have been reluctant to leave them with all the care they require. Markie put me at ease with her knowledge and experience taking care of animals with these issues. She did an outstanding job taking great care of my cats and keeping me updated on how they were doing. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Emily did amazing with our cat! It was the first time I’ve used Rover and was initially nervous. But Emily did great! The updates and photos allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying about Awesome Possum. I highly recommend rover and especially Emily! I’ll be a repeat client, for sure.”
“We just got back from a week-long road trip and honestly, the best part was not worrying about our dogs the entire time. Cailynn took care of Jasper and Gordon like they were her own. Two small dogs with two very different personalities is not always an easy ask, and she handled it effortlessly. We got regular photo updates that made the whole family smile, especially our girls, who checked for new pictures every morning. Everything was clean and in order when we got home, and both dogs were relaxed and clearly well cared for — no anxious behavior, no adjustment period, just happy pups. Communication was easy from the start, scheduling was flexible, and she followed our feeding and walk routine exactly as we left it. We'll absolutely be booking again for our next trip and recommend her to anyone in the area without hesitation.”
“Karsyn made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs for the weekend. Between all the check in’s and the photos, we knew our boys were in great hands! :) She is the absolute sweetest! We will definitely be using Karsyn for any future needs! :)”
“Abbigail did an awesome job taking care of my cat Toby! She was responsible and reliable and our cat warmed up to her quickly. My cat also requires injected medication 2x/day and abbi was gentle with him and was able to get his medication in. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Rachel was great. She came and met my cats, before my trip. She did all I asked when feeding them and washed their dishes, as well. I also received a daily picture. She’s a very nice young lady and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Library
“Maria has been professional yet personal since I reached out. We set up a meet and greet and Bernie was completely comfortable from the start. Today he visited early and stayed through the day. I’d say he had a blast since he ate and has been asleep since. Maria provided an excellent experience for both Bernie and I. We will visit again! Thank you Maria”

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals my entire life. I have been a pet sitter for many friends and neighbors over the years and had my own canine companion for 10 years. She passed away in November of 2023. Animals deserve to be loved and treated like family. I promise that your dogs will be treated very well and that they will truly enjoy their “vacation” at my home. It’s difficult to leave your “loved ones” in the care of others and I know that feeling. Rest assured that they will be cared for and spoiled to the best of my ability! I am a behavioral therapist who works with children and families. I have a hybrid job which means that I work from home doing Telehealth services and I also see clients in person at times. I am home for most of the day and this worked perfectly when I cared for my late dog, Arwen. I do not have any pets currently. I have an elevated deck that is only accessible from the house. It is surrounded and my dog loved to spend time out there basking in the sun. I have a yard but it is not fenced in. My neighborhood is quiet and very dog friendly.

“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”
“Laura and her son Jesse were the best with my puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day to keep me updated and I could tell that they both gave him lots of love and attention. I felt very much at ease leaving my puppy with them while I worked. 1000 percent recommend!”
“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”

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.
About: I can be with your dog almost 24/7 because I work from home. We have a fenced in yard. I have trained 2 adult dogs to do multiple tricks, not take food, not run, and be good with children. Along with 10 plus years of things I have forgotten. I have experience with puppies and would prefer not to watch them. (negotiable) I have twins, and I think two human babies are easier than one puppy. I work from home, have a flexible schedule, a fenced in yard, and live in a suburban neighborhood where I can safely walk your dog/s. We have been dog owners for 15 years until our last baby passed in January at the age of 14. We have 10-year-old twins who love dogs and would love to play with yours, so your dog must be friendly with children. They are responsible enough to not bother your dog if it doesn't want to be bothered with though. I will have your pet with me on a pet bed, couch, or floor near me all day while I work from home. I can let them roam around the fenced in back yard as long as they would like. I am able to take them for walks at lunch and any time after 4:30 pm. We have 10 year old twins who love animals and would enjoy giving your fur baby extra attention. They are also responsible enough to not bother your dog if it doesn't want to be bothered with though.

About: Hi there! I work from home my two available days a week, which means your dog gets 24/7 companionship, frequent backyard potty breaks, and mid-day snuggles on the couch. I grew up with dogs, and I have experience with everything from puppies to seniors. I am experienced with medication administration, limited mobility, and managing separation anxiety. I also have experience with reactive and dog-selective dogs and keeping them safe and happy. I live right by Bird Park and in a very walkable neighborhood, and can accommodate 2-3 walks a day - but if your dog is happier cuddling/sleeping inside, that’s okay too! I’d like to match your dogs normal routine as much as possible and make sure they get as much play and rest time as they need. Your dog will be safe and happy with me! I currently work from home two days a week (Monday and Friday) so I will be available 24/7 on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I request that you give me your dogs normal schedule, and I will follow it exactly to make sure that they are comfortable and happy. I am available after 3pm Tuesdays through Thursdays. Your dog will be the only pet in my home, and my top priority! I require a meet and greet before boarding to ensure we are the right fit. I will keep you updated with daily pics of your pup. I have a large crate in case your dog is crate-trained, but as I work from home they will just be hanging with me on the couch or dog bed - wherever they are more comfortable. My home is clean and free from any hazards to your pup, and I will follow your exact household rules regarding feeding and anything else. My previous dog who has now crossed the rainbow bridge was reactive and dog-selective, so I am very experienced on keeping your dog safe while on walks and reading their body language. They will never be off-leash in an un-fenced area, and I will happily avoid any triggers that you make me aware of - just let me know!

About: I have been taking care of my pets and other people’s since I was about 12. Those include dogs, cats, bunnies, a mouse, and even a tortoise! I’ve also been a volunteer at a local animal shelter where I walked dogs and played with cats. As a kid, I used to spend my own money every Christmas to buy supplies for animal shelters near me and donate them. I was also a competitive horseback rider for six years which involves a lot of dedication to caring for and learning about the horses I rode. Animals have always been a huge part of life and they always will. I’m currently a radiography student at WVU medicine. My calendar is mostly closed during the school year, with the exception of some holiday breaks. However, my summers are very open. I have taken care of pets in other people’s homes multiple times. I always make sure to follow the instructions left by the owner, and not overstep. As a pet owner myself, I understand wanting to keep a pet on a routine and wanting other people to follow it. I have no issues helping out pets that may need a little extra attention, as I’ve had pets with medical and emotional needs in the past.
About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was little. I played with them, walked the dogs when needed, fed them, cleaned out litters boxes or the yard. I’ve played with neighborhood pets too. I work at a hospital, nights. I work three days a week and my typical shift is 7pm to 7am. I get home, sleep for a couple hours, and then I get up. I can do pet care the moment I’m done with work or later in the afternoon. I have two cats personally. They are fed every morning when I wake up, and every evening my boyfriend comes to feed them while I go to work. They have dry food that they can graze on through the day, water bowls out in the kitchen, a clean litter box that is in my own room because that’s where they know. They go yearly to the vet for check ups and shots. And they are always given love.

About: Hi! My name is Casey, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over four years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs and have always been surrounded by animals, which helped develop my love for pet care from a young age. I also have a cat of my own, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of both dogs and cats.

About: Hi! I’m Karsyn, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been a dedicated dog mom to my Mini Australian Shepherd for the past 5 years, and before him I grew up with dogs my entire childhood. I truly treat my pets like my children, and I’ll care for yours with that same level of love, patience, and attention! When my dog was a puppy, I enrolled him in training classes, which taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, and positive interactions. That experience gave me a better understanding of how dogs communicate and how to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. One of my absolute favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos of your pets to you! I basically turn into the pet paparazzi and love snapping pictures throughout our time together. If you want one update, I can do that. If you want one million pictures, I can absolutely do that too;) I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family member, so I love sending lots of updates to give you peace of mind, and hopefully a few photos worthy for your camera roll! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have no breed restrictions. If your pup is a strong puller, that’s no problem-I’m confident handling energetic dogs on walks as well! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited to book again! I work full-time Monday-Thursday and have full availability for pet care Friday-Sunday. Occasionally I can come evening during the week after work when need be I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I’d love to care for your pet in the comfort of theirs! My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Expect lots of love, playtime, and PLENTY of photo updates. I have a slight obsession with taking pictures of animals so If you want one picture, I can do that. If you want one million… I can definitely do that too! 📸🐾

About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve owned a boxer for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, feeding, playtime, and understanding dogs’ different personalities and needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, check in on, and care for their pets while they were away.

(I allow animals on my bed I’m not sure how to change that ) I have classes, but your fur baby will always be my top priority. I’m home every evening to care for them, except Fridays when I’m working on the ambulance. Walking, feeding, watering, bathing and getting all their zoomies out. I enjoy walking and physical activity meaning they will be tired out by the end of the night.

About: I have had animals all my life. I have also worked with trainers and have hands on experience. I rode horses competitively for many years so am comfortable around any animal. At my childhood home I have a German Shepard and a Shih Tzu, along with two cats. In my own home I have two cats and a dog. Not at my home but I do have a horse! Have cared for multiple horses over the years along with barn work. I am currently a nanny about to start massage school in the summer! I also provide pet care of my employers. I have evening and weekend availability. I’ve worked with small and big dogs. I don’t think I’ve ever met an animal that hasn’t liked me. I’m very patient and trustworthy. I also know how to properly interact with cats.
About: I walked and trained dogs in Manhattan for over 10 years. I’ve worked with many types of breeds and dogs of all ages. All my clients were very happy with my services. I am very knowledgeable about dog products and training products. I am self-employed and set my own hours so I can fit any walks into my weekly routine. I have a car so can travel to nearby locations. I currently am only available for dog walking at this time. I am available to feed dogs or administer medication or play inside if requested.

“Lyla had the most amazing time. Maria provided regular updates, and I could tell Lyla was so happy to be staying with her. She even was so kind to give us a picture of our pup and a goodie bag to go home with.”
“Raeann was the best, although his stay was only for a day, our pup loves Raeann! She is so full of love and joy and our pup sensed that from our meet & greet and during his stay! Raeann is so very welcoming and warm-hearted, a perfect fit for our sweet cuddler pup!! Thanks Raeann!! ❤️”
“I have tried another local, highly recommended boarding place. My dogs would come home traumatized. I went on a search for a new place that would show patience and love towards my dogs, as my dogs do not trust people quickly. Christina and Daniel meet that requirement. From the get-go, they showed the extra patience and love towards my dogs. Christina & Daniel were very good at sending updates and pictures of the dogs. I could see from the photos that my dogs were happy. They were very good at responding to my questions, which gave me peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Christina & Daniel. This is my new favorite boarding place for my dogs.”
“Nelia is so great! She provides updates at least two times per day, and with multiple pictures. She is very easy to communicate and with timely reply. The kids are very friendly as well. Nelia and her family are definitely recommended! Thank you, Nelia!”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”
“This was my first having Victoria watch my dog and I’m so glad I picked her. She sent videos daily to ease my anxiety about being away for 13 days. I will definitely have Victoria watch her next vacation. She was quick at responding to my messages”
“Michelle was a great person for dodger. She took great care of him, he came home happy, and she frequently updated me with photos and texts about him. I will definitely use her again.”
“Beth was wonderful with our dog Lady. She is a very anxious pup. She became Beth’s sidekick. She sent several pictures throughout Lady’s stay. Beth was understanding about a delay due to flights in picking Lady up. We will definitely use Beth’s boarding services in the future.”
“Elaine did a wonderful job watching Max. She made sure he was exercised and played with him and he interacted with her dogs. I would highly recommend Elaine and her services. She also sent me photos and a video that I really appreciated. She asked if Max had any special needs and made sure he was happy.”
“My dog got along great with hers and her family, kept me updated on everything and in the loop with how he was doing, and super flexible and took my last minute request!”
“Our dog, Tulip, was in great hands at Veronica's house while we were away. She was able to accommodate us for a long stay with relatively short advanced notice. We had a meet and greet with one of her pups beforehand and Tulip loved her big fenced in yard and the kiddie pools that were set up outside. You can tell that Veronica knows what she's doing when it comes to caring for dogs and she kept us updated regularly with texts, pictures, and videos, which we really appreciated. Tulip definitely enjoyed her stay and has been exhausted from the fun she had all week.”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Lisa was amazing! She took such great care of our Newfie while we were away. She kept in touch every day and sent many pictures! She even gave Coco a bath and excellent hair cut! I would trust Lisa to take care of Coco anytime! We will definitely continue to use Lisa in the future for all our dog sitting needs!”
“super kind & kept me up to date with pictures and messages so i knew my pup was doing well. very accommodating and i’ll definitely be back with denyal if i leave town again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life but my first job years ago in high school was at a veterinary hospital/ boarding. Because I was still in high school I was mainly in the kennels taking care of all the wonderful fur babies while their parents were out of town. Also, after informing the doctors that I was aspiring to become a vet, they allowed me to put on some scrubs and help out occasionally. I quickly realized that I was going to find a different way to care for animals 😂 Since then I have raised my own dogs and cared for animals of friends and family and have worked a few jobs at doggie daycares. I am an early riser because of my job so if your fur baby is too, they will fit right in! I work construction so I will be out for a portion of the day, but my wife works from home so her and our two pups will always be there to keep your baby company and make them feel right at home! At my house, no where is off limits for a furry friend. We can do anything to accommodate your fur babies to make sure they’re comfortable with their stay and you can have peace of mind that they will be happy and safe while you are away!
“Emily is fantastic and attentive! She kept sending update with photos. She took good care of my dog and bring him for a walk too. Also, her dog, Macduff was so nice. They can get along very well. I like that her house has a fenced backyard, so dogs can go out as well. Her house also has a gate that can be used when they need a private space/or a timeout. I highly recommend her. Thanks, Emily!”
“Courtney is wonderful with my dogs. I can always go away and feel comfortable leaving them with. I appreciate every thing she does for them and I know they will be safe and well taken care of.”
