“Sunny had such a great time staying with Adisyn and her partner! They took him for walks every day, kept up with his usual routine, and even let him sleep in bed with them, which he absolutely loves! Adisyn kept us updated throughout our entire trip with plenty of pictures and videos, and she was always available whenever we needed her. This was Sunny’s first time staying in someone else’s home, so we were a little nervous about how he would adjust, but they made him feel completely comfortable and at home. He came back to us happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t think twice about leaving Sunny with Adisyn again. We’re incredibly grateful for how well she took care of him and for giving us such peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Adisyn! ❤️”
“Breanna was awesome! She was very accommodating and asked great questions to make sure everything was accounted for. Ruby seemed very happy and comfortable with her from the start. Thank you for making the weekend so easy!”

“My experience with Victoria was great! It was my 1st time using her service. She was very responsive when booking and scheduled a meet and greet to meet me and my dog and to show where he’d be staying. She was very flexible on drop off and pickup and sent updates and photos while he stayed with her. My dog is a picky eater and she hand fed him. I’ll definitely use her for my next trip!”
“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.”
“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”
“Beancurd has such a wonderful time with Valerie and comes home to us calm and relaxed and exhausted from having so much fun. For an anxious dog with separation anxiety it’s amazing for us to know we can leave her is such good hands. Lots of pics and great communication, highly recommended Valerie as a sitter and walker and so does Beancurd!!”
“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!”

“Nelia and Brett were wonderful. They cared for Bronson as if he were a part of their household and were very communicative and accommodating. I highly recommend their service.”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”

“Divya was amazing! I think the biggest compliment comes from our cat, who was remarkably calm after we returned from quite a long trip. Divya clearly has a passion for earning the trust of animals and making them feel safe. She left detailed reports and photos after every visit and always sought to make progress with our pet, finding more ways to make him feel comfortable and secure. We were very fortunate to hire such a passionate and detail oriented caretaker.”
“Clareese was so sweet with my girls. She sent a million pictures and even a video, so I knew they were in good hands. Would absolutely book with her again in the future!!”
About: I grew up mostly with dogs and only one family cat, but since rescuing my own cat, Zelda, from the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia, more than three years ago, we have lived together in multiple countries and developed a close bond. I love to help cats come out of their shell and learn what makes a specific cat tick: what types of toys, treats, and affection they go nuts for. I am also currently working on transitioning Zelda to using a litter robot at home.
“Erin is fantastic - quick communication and a pleasure to work with. Our new kitty had a wonderful stay. Loved the photo updates and tips on her behavior. A+, highly recommend Erin!”
About: If your cat is the ruler of the household, they’ve met their match! I specialize in providing top-tier care tailored specifically to felines. I’m fluent in cat body language, an expert string-toy wrangler, and a certified chin-scratch connoisseur. I understand that cats thrive on routine, so I make it my mission to keep their environment stable, clean, and fun while you’re away. You’ll get regular updates and plenty of photos of your kitty living their best life. I promise to give them all the attention, love, and space they need to feel safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled.
“Becca was always communicative and kind as she helped with me, just moving to town knowing no one, and leaving my one year old bengal. They played and had lots of fun and already plan on booking her again (and sent her to some friends). On time, lots of pictures and very well loved report from the cat!”
“Ann was great! She left my home very clean and was an excellent communicator. I was very nervous to leave my elderly cat alone for the first time in years, especially since he developed health issues, and Ann did a great job taking care of him. I would definitely recommend.”
“Amazing pet sitter! Tony was a fanatic cat sitter and gave amazing check in messages and pictures. Our cats were so happy and comfy when we came back from our trip. 5stars!”
“Disha was perfect with Kaos - he’s a shy boy but he warmed up to her immediately and she did an excellent job watching him while I was away for the weekend!”
“First time using Dover and had the pleasure of getting Alexander for my pets needs. Needed my cat to get a pill twice a day. He hung out with her and took pictures! Very happy with his communication :) Will book again.”

“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Dusty in her care. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girl came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for…❤️ Valerie went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Thank you, Valerie, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”

About: Hi! I’m Alex, I’m a 28 year old graduate student in Pittsburgh and am looking to make some extra cash by doing the thing I love most - taking care of animals! I grew up with multiple dogs (big and small, young and old), two foster cats and four bunnies. I currently have one dog living with me :) I have a lot of experience with training both pups and adult dogs and have dealt with multiple difficult cases while volunteering at an animal shelter during undergrad. I know how hard it can be to balance a full time job or travel with your pets’ wellbeing and am happy to step in and provide some TLC when needed! As a student currently working from home I am very flexible and available on short notice. Please feel free to ask me about any day and any time (except Mondays!) and I will always do my best to make it happen :) I am always happy to take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home or outside on a fun walk to get some energy out! All I ask for is detailed information about your pet’s personality and needs so I can show them proper care. I am also open to short term boarding when needed. I live in a calm and spacious 2 person 1 dog home close to various trails in Frick Park. Please be aware that I can only board vaccinated and tick/flee treated pets for the safety of my own dog and others! :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. My family has had 3 dogs at a time since then and I have always been responsible for watching them, letting them out, and feeding them. I currently own a year old Jack Russel named sir loin and he is absolutely obsessed with making friends! I’m always available on during the week and weekend as I have a remote job. So this includes overnights, drop ins, babysitting, and walks throughout the day. My fiance and I rent in a great neighborhood full of dogs. We live right by a park and I have a little yard right outside of my house.
About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs of different breeds and sizes so I have experience looking after nearly all kinds of dogs. I am capable of also looking after multiples dogs at once, truly caring for them, and playing with them. My wife and I will spend our time and efforts to make your dog feel at home. As I have dogs of my own, it will fit like a glove as I will be caring for your dog alongside my own. I will treat your dog like my own. Dogs are very important to me regardless whether it’s my own dog or someone else’s. I will make sure that dog is safe and feels cared for in any environment.
About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.
“Sara was available last minute for our dog which we really appreciated. She was great with him and sent us plenty of updates and photos. She was flexible with our schedule too. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Abby was great! I had a last minute sitter pull out and she was so easy to book in a very short notice. Samson loved her dog, they played for hours. I appreciate your communication throughout the day. It was a great experience. Thanks Abby!”
“Kayla was amazing. She was able to accommodate us in such short notice after our dog sitter cancelled. She took great care of Kobe, sending updates and pictures. Kobe really enjoyed his time with Kayla.”
“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!”

“Daniel was absolutely incredible in every way. We hate leaving our dog Wilson behind, but it makes it less painful when we have such a responsible, communicative, kind, and reliable person like Daniel to walk him while we are gone!

We love Brittani !”

About: I have had dogs in my household since I was a baby. I moved to pittsburgh in 2021, and before that was living with my parents who had four dogs! Right now, I have 3 cats. I love to dogsit and spend time with other people's babies! I have experience in dog sitting, and have spent some time working in dog daycare/boarding. I am currently not working a typical job so I am available 7 days a week most weeks and can spend all of my time with your pet if needed! I am dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy by keeping a close eye on them and making sure that they are loved and cared for.
“Adisyn went above and beyond to care for our older dog and home. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely contact her in the future. You would be lucky to have her care for your pet!”

“Times did a wonderful job walking our two dogs mostly while we were at work. She was on time, made sure our home was secure and the dogs were well cared for. Rudy and Dasher both said they loved spending time with her! We will definitely use her again!”
“Krista was great. Zoe immediately loved her and Coby didn’t mind the wake up call from the couch to meet his new friend. Dogs were walked, fed, and given treats as requested. Proper leash, walking perimeter followed, house locked, and key promptly returned. We even received a picture of the walk. Neither dog expressed any separation anxiety while their humans were on a day trip. I was super happy and will call on Krista in the future. Dogs give her 5 woofs!”
“Lyla was great. Communication was easy from the start, and she was reliable about showing up every day we had scheduled. No chasing her down for updates, no last minute cancellations. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can actually count on, she’s a good pick.”
About: Hello! My name is Rachael, and I'm a graduate student who loves animals. My black cat, Zelda, has lived and traveled with me through six different countries and now lives with me here in Pittsburgh. I was raised in a household full of dog people and always lived with at least two dogs at any given time, so I have a lot of experience caring for and playing with dogs of various sizes and personalities. I also am experienced with caring for various other kinds of pets, from hedgehogs to lizards to fish to frogs. I'm a PhD student with a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I typically schedule walks and drop-ins for the morning or evening. I also have no classes on Fridays and a lot of flexibility on weekends! I like to fit walks and visits into my daily routine in a way that helps me to get some extra steps in. When petsitting in a client's home, I always review all the instructions carefully. It's helpful for me to know as much as possible about the pet, such as any health or behavioral concerns I should be aware of, likes and dislikes, etc. I always respect a pet's boundaries and prioritize their safety and wellbeing. I also make sure to check in with the client regularly and alert them immediately of any concerns that need to be brought to their attention.
“Tomorrow is the third birthday of my two Maltese - Shih Tsu mix dogs, and Heather has been walking them ever since they came into my life at 4 months of age. They LOVE her and she treats them as her own. She is very trustworthy and even though it means she might not be available when I call, I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who asks!!”
About: I grew up living with cats and loving dogs, so transitioning into pet care in 2014 was a no brainer. During my years of dog walking with a DC based company, I met everyone from leash reactive large dogs to old dogs that needed to be carried down the stairs to do their business. I am no stranger to medication management and have cared for dogs with anxiety, dietary restrictions, UTIs (hello, vet visit!) and even terminal illness. I’m very communicative and I will absolutely send you photos of your pets. I can’t wait. At the moment, my only regular obligations are local comedy shows/mics at night and the occasional bartending shift if someone calls out. Other than that, my schedule is your animal’s schedule. My primary rule of thumb is to leave any place in at least as good of shape as I found it. I’ll sleep wherever you deem best and keep to your pet’s routines regarding food, exercise and medication. I will not invite anyone else into your home. Just let me know where any clean up tools are for cleaning up potential pet messes.
About: I had numerous dogs growing up and currently have one of my own, Finley, a Goldendoodle; I adore looking after pets and others. Dogs of all energy levels are welcome as I have a large yard, great for playtime, and plenty of space to accommodate others. Plenty of experience with medicines and special needs animals, too. Routine is key with time management to make sure there’s adequate time for play and adventure. Every morning starts with a walk, and I typically take my own pet to the park twice a day. My home has an enclosed backyard with ample space to run around. When house/petsitting, I’ll always ensure pets are on a leash before exiting to run errands or go for a walk.
“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”

“We had to unexpectedly go out of town and booked our dog’s stay through Rover after many years. It was very assuring that brie seemed to have a good time with Michelle and Tom. They were very understanding to Brie’s anxiety issues and very accommodating to Her dietary needs. Thank you Michelle, we will Surely keep brie with you when we go out.”
“Took great care of my pup, sent lots of pictures of him socializing well with the other dogs, and generally kept me looped in. I can tell he had a great time and would definitely recommend Denyal!”
“Lindsay took wonderful care of Loki while we were away. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Loki was happy and well loved.
