“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!”
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”
“Very pleased with our experience with Mike and his daughter. They loved our dog like their own. Kept him active and well cared for. Mike was very accommodating and easy to work with as well. 100% reccomend and will be rebooking.”
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!”
“This is our second time booking with Dana. My pups came back and passed out on the couch for the rest of the night! She was responsive and communicative. She immediately let me know when she had a concern and was willing to go to the emergency vet if needed. I will definitely rebook!”
“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!!!”
“Bruce had a great time with Gemma and Gizmo! We received regular updates and adorable photos. He loved playing with all the toys and of course snuggling! We will definitely be back - thanks Gemma!”
“Kassandra is the sweetest person we have ever left our dog with. She was very punctual and picked Leo up and dropped him off at the agreed upon time. Leo needed meds and extra care due to his multiple medical problems but Kassandra took care of him very well. Leo was very happy with Kassandra as I could see when she was leaving after dropping him off and Leo didn’t want her to leave. Kassandra gave us daily updates and additional updates as needed so the communication was excellent. I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of Leo!”
“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.”
“Stanley was very well cared for. I could tell when he came home that he was happy and calm. He even came home with a little bag of treats and a photo that Maria provided. We’ll definitely use Maria’s services again.”
“Droopy was well-loved and well taken care of by Sebastian. I felt confident leaving him in Sebastian's care, and I will definitely rebook next time I return to Pittsburgh with my dog!”
“Our dogs absolutely loved their stay with Amy! Amy sent us daily picture updates and filled us in on how the pups were doing. The dogs had a blast playing with all of the other dogs and receiving the love and attention from Amy and her family. We will definitely be going back to Amy in the future!”

“Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!”
“Abbie was incredible in caring for my kitties, she went above and beyond!!!!! During my trip away, she checked on my kitties and gave my one cat her inhaler every day. I not once was ever worried about my cats while I was away, which I could never say before! I was updated on every thing with much detail and that is something a cat owner like me loves when I can’t be with my babies myself 🥰 I would give Abbie 100 starts if I could!”
“Ericka came recommended by my Rover when she wasn’t available. She did excellent in caring for my babies. I left instructions to make it easy and she was able to care for them just like me. My babies loved the playtime too!”
“Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!”
“Kristin was so good with Lucy! I was worried she’d be shy and not come out but she loved her and always came running! Kristin gave great detailed updates and lots of photos. We’ll definitely have her sit again!”
“Kathleen took so many pictures of the cats and also of the food bowls and water to let us know it was being monitored. She also brought our mail in and gave Barney and Gigi a lot of love. 😊”
“Matthew went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats. He followed instructions, but also brought in packages for us and cleaned the cats' dirty dishes which wasn't at all expected. I definitely recommend him!”
“Ahhhhh! Can’t say enough good things about Elise! We have been on a hunt for a sitter for my cat and we finally found her!!!! Elise is nice and very understanding with my cat. Also, her communication is top notch and you’ll get a lot of updates/pic while you are away!!!”
“Maria comes highly recommended. We feel confident when we are out of town that our pet and home are in reliable, trustworthy hands. Thank you for everything Maria!”
“Lee was great! She offered a meet and greet that worked with my schedule, and when we met she asked great question and took notes. She also explained a few things about Rover/cat sitting since I had never used Rover before. While I was away, Lee sent useful updates about my cat along with photos that made me feel better about leaving my cat for the first time. Lee was always quick to respond to messages, she made sure that my cat was cared for, and she also cleaned up after my messy cat quite thoroughly. My cat was very happy and healthy when I returned, and I will definitely be booking with Lee in the future!”
About: With 3 fur babies of my own, being a cat caretaker for friends and family, and previous experience working alongside my college town cat rescue, I've learned and gained a wealth of knowledge over the past 5+ years. I personally keep my babies on a feeding schedule, including bedtime and treats. Their litter boxes are cleaned once a day and their personal room is vacuumed two to three times a week. I do my best to dedicate 30-40 minutes of play time a day with them, if they are willing to engage. Sometimes, they prefer to snuggle and that's never something I'll turn down. I take pride in the fact that I am well educated in animal behavior and recognizing body language signals, which I heavily take into account when caring for a new friend. I am always more than happy to set aside time to personally meet your pet, take a bit of time to get to know them, and understand their boundaries and personality before entering their space. I also like to provide regular and frequent updates, with photos included, when caring for your pet. This allows me to be as communicative as possible while providing you the peace of mind to know that your fur baby is safe and happy. :)
“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“I was so worried about leaving my cat who just had emergency surgery for a trip I couldn't postpone, but when I saw Mary's updates, I knew he was in good hands. Having a great cat sitter calmed my anxieties and allowed me to enjoy my time away. Thanks again for doing such a great job taking care of Oscar!”
“Highly recommend Tiffany to take care of your fur babies!! She provided updates with photos and spent time playing with my cats during check-ins. My cats seemed very comfortable around her as well :) Thank you!!”

“Buster had a blast with the dogs in the yard. He was all doggie smiles when we picked him up! On top of that, I booked for the wrong day and Richard was nothing but nice about it, and completely accommodating. We’ll be back when we come through Pittsburgh again.”
“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.”
“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.”

“We had a great experience with Gretchen! We were in town for a wedding and looking for someone to come to our rental house and sit with our dog there. Even though this is not a standard dog-sitting situation, she was willing to accommodate us. Our pup was calm and content when we returned and everything worked out great.”
“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: 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.
About: I’ve taken care of small animals since I was a kid. I was always the student who volunteered to take the class pet home for extended breaks from school. Some of the animals I cared for included leopard geckos, hamsters, and Guinea pigs! I have loved animals ever since 😊 Besides class pets, I grew up babysitting my Aunt’s dog, Oscar, whenever she went on vacation or needed some extra help. I got my first dog when I was 12 and he’s still living with us today. I am offering all services for small to medium sized dogs. I am relatively free for dog care through Rover as I work a part time job in my spare time. I also used to have a job at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience with dog behavior :) I can assure you that daily walks and cuddles with your pup fit into my schedule <3 We have one small dog named Gizmo who is a 9 year old Shih-tzu mix. He is super friendly as he loves both people and dogs! We do not have a fenced yard but we regularly take trips to the local dog park. Additionally, we have a fenced deck where the dogs can get some fresh air. I know it can be intimidating to leave your pet with a stranger. As such, I try to make everyone feel welcome. I assure you that I am dedicated to your pet’s safety and well-being and promise to care for your pet as if they were my own. They will become a part of the furry family for the duration of their stay ♥️
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.
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 have a lot of experience in caring for animals, because since childhood I had animals at home, I dreamed of being a veterinarian, but chose a different profession. I have two dogs and a cat. I treat animals like children, or better) Your pet will be happy with the time spent with me! I work from home and can take care of your baby in the evenings or on weekends. If within walking distance of my home, up to 3 times a day. I can coach base teams if desired, or just play, whatever you prefer and your dog likes, just tell and I will figure out ;)
About: I’ve always love dogs and enjoyed taking care of friends animals while they were away. I was so excited to finally rescue my first pup 2.5 years ago. She came to me with a lot of reactivity issues and some general fear. It’s been so rewarding working with her and seeing her overcome obstacles. Through training both her and I have learned a great deal. I’ve had the opportunity to be exposed to several dog sports as well as obedience training and try and incorporate pieces from all of it into our daily life. I currently work from home with a decently flexible schedule. Living in the Southhills I’m pretty convenient to you most areas and enjoy a good adventure. Due to my dog still learning to enjoy other animals company she would not join me on any walks or visits. Any Housesitting I would do would be at your home but I can accommodate your dogs normal schedule.
“My girl absolutely loves spending the day with Amy! We always get pictures and updates and know our girl is going to have a fantastic time. She gets so excited on the way there, it's awesome.”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As a graduate student, I have a structured routine and strong time management skills, which means your pet will get consistent, reliable care and attention. I’m especially mindful of safety, behavior, and comfort, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine so they feel secure and at ease. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra support, or medication reminders. I focus on creating a calm, positive environment and use clear communication with owners so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of thought and intention I bring to pet care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I prioritize trust, consistency, and a safe environment above everything. I’m a graduate student at Pitt and spend about 40 hours a week in clinical settings treating patients. Because of that, my weekday availability is more limited, but I can offer select drop-in visits during early mornings or evenings depending on the day. My weekends are much more flexible, and I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care from Friday through Sunday. I’m very organized with my schedule, so when I commit to a visit, you can count on me being reliable, punctual, and consistent. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines, to keep everything as familiar as possible for your pet. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and keep things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly managed to prevent any safety issues, and I’m attentive to your pet at all times. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision. I do have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time would be closely monitored and leashed to ensure safety. I also prioritize communication, providing regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels cared for and you have complete peace of mind.
“We couldn’t be happier with Maria! She was as calm and reassuring with us as she was with Beau. We received photos through the day, and a special package of treats was tucked into his bag when we unpacked at home. So happy to know we have a safe and serene place for Beau when we need to travel.”
“Barrett really was amazing. We booked him last minute (less than 2 hours before we needed him) so we could take in a Pirates game while passing thru Pittsburgh, and he was quite gracious. Our Tucker is nearly 15 and a bit of a nervous Nellie. Barrett took it all in stride. I highly recommend Barrett”

“Kathleen was awesome! She met with me and my pup before our first booked date. She listened to my shpeal about my pup and didn’t mind my nervousness. I have a high-energy and high-needs dog who is not for everyone, but Katie brought her A-Game! My pup was so excited to see her every day after their initial meeting. When she needed to change the schedule, she was very communicative. We definitely want to book her again! - Finley, human to Maisie Moo the American Foxhound”
“It was our first time using Rover and Lindsey was an excellent companion and dog walker for our pit bull mix! Her report after each visit was thorough and usually included an extra anecdote about their time together and great pictures! Lindsey very concerned and asked for our advice when our dog wasn't eating much food when we initially left. We appreciated her initiative. When there was a big rain storm and they couldn't walk outside, Lindsey spent the time playing with our dog inside and gave him the attention and exercise that he needed. Overall a great experience and highly recommend Lindsey!”
“Ericka was such a huge help and was so responsive. We look forward to working with her again when we are in Pittsburgh. Thank you so much for your help!”
“Elise is an amazing walker to have! I feel so happy to have found her through Rover. I feel very at ease leaving Josie behind knowing Elise is coming for her. Elise goes above and beyond with taking pictures and giving me updates on how she does during her walk. I would highly recommended using Elise, she is wonderful! Thank you so much for all you do with Josie!”
“Kassandra did a wonderful job taking care of my dog for the weekend. She sent multiple updates and pictures over the time spent with him. She shows a lot of care and attention!”
“I am so impressed with Kristin's professionalism and dedication to dogs. She is prompt and responsive with all communication. I highly recommend her for dog walking!”
“Jagger had a nice first walk/stroll with Lara. She communicated well and followed the tips we discussed at the meet and greet. He looks forward to their next walk. Thanks!”
About: Hi, I’m Kyna! I’m the proud human of Maple, my Bernese Mountain Dog, which means I’m very familiar with dog hair, muddy paws, dramatic sighs, and dogs who occasionally refuse to walk because a leaf looked suspicious. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. By day, I work in education and behavior support, so patience, consistency, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have experience looking after the pets of family and friends, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow sniff walks, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping routines consistent. You’ll receive updates and photos because I know I’d want them too. I have experience with large dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, energetic dogs, and dogs who are absolutely convinced they’re lap dogs. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members!🐶 I’m currently enjoying summer break from work, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sniffaris, and pet care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and consistent. Whether that means sticking to a detailed routine, taking a leisurely sniffari, playing their favorite game, or simply existing in the same room while your cat judges me from a safe distance, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages because I know I’d want the same if I were leaving my own pet in someone else’s care. Fair warning: I may become emotionally invested in your pet 🐶🐱🐾.
“Tiffany is on time and does a great job with Coco. She gets her exercise for sure and is tired and content when she gets back. Thank you Tiffany.”
About: I limit the number of pets so they get personalized love and attention. From shy senior cats to high-energy puppies, I have had and worked with all ages and needs. I provide frequent updates catered to the owner’s request. I like to build trust through consistence and long-term relationships so your pet sees a familiar face and is happy. I am retiring from teaching and will have a part time work-from-home job and will have plenty of time for love and cuddles with your pets. I walk several times a day so your dog (or walking cat), gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in covered patio so they get plenty of fresh air! Again, I walk several times a day, have a park at the end of my road, I have a fenced in patio and there is a dog park within walking distance of my home. If they ride well in a car, I will take them to a big park for walks and dog park socialization. I have had dogs since I was born and cats all of my adult life. I have watched many animals for friends, families, neighbors, etc. I have had rabbits, turtles, fish, iguanas as well. I have a special place in my heart for animals.
“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”
About: I've had cats for over 20 years, all of my adult life. I'm an expert at giving medications. I've also owned small and medium sized dogs. I subscribe to positive reinforcement training. I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed. I live in the heart of Dormont. Have experience with cats and small/medium dogs. I drive so no issues with transportation. My availability is open! I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed. I prefer to watch your pet(s) in your home. If you leave me a schedule, including food, treats, play, and walk times, I will stick to that precisely. I feel that pets not only need a routine, but they do much better in their own environment. If there's an emergency, I will be able to bring them to my home. Obviously communication will be key, and this is only for extenuating circumstances (if I feel they are unsafe due to unforeseen situations). My goal is to continue their established routine, so when you come home, there will be a smooth transition. I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed.

Thank you Courtney.”
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!
“This is our second time booking with Dana. My pups came back and passed out on the couch for the rest of the night! She was responsive and communicative. She immediately let me know when she had a concern and was willing to go to the emergency vet if needed. I will definitely rebook!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Stanley was very well cared for. I could tell when he came home that he was happy and calm. He even came home with a little bag of treats and a photo that Maria provided. We’ll definitely use Maria’s services again.”
“Droopy was well-loved and well taken care of by Sebastian. I felt confident leaving him in Sebastian's care, and I will definitely rebook next time I return to Pittsburgh with my dog!”
“Our dogs absolutely loved their stay with Amy! Amy sent us daily picture updates and filled us in on how the pups were doing. The dogs had a blast playing with all of the other dogs and receiving the love and attention from Amy and her family. We will definitely be going back to Amy in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jacqueline took such great care of our mini Goldendoodle, Lolo, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in good hands. We got daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Our doggo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust—this was truly above and beyond. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
“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.”
“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”
About: My partner Jack and I love caring for pets! Both of us have been caretakers for pets practically our whole lives, including senior pets and pets with special needs, in addition to small animals like rodents and birds. 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.
“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.”
“Laura is very pet friendly. She cares very deeply about making sure your pet has as nice of a stay as possible. My cat recently stayed with her twice, and she did such a great job taking care of my cat. I would highly recommend her”
