Sadly to the extent that he didn't want to come home :( She sent me pictures during his stay and when hunter chewed and tore his blanket she patched it back up for him. you could tell he enjoyed staying there and She gave me advise for him. I definitely will be having her sit my Hunter in the future. I recommend her highly..”
“Richard T boarded our dog Callie for a week while we were on vacation. He set up a meet and greet at his home to get her comfortable being there before our trip. Each day, he sent us pictures of her playing or resting to keep us updated and set our minds at ease. Our dog is never crated, so we would not send her to a typical kennel. Richard boards the dogs in his home, so she had access to the house and yard, just like she would at our home. Callie had a great time with the other dogs so we will definitely use Richard T’s services again!”
“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 went above and beyond when watching our pup! She easily made him feel at home and provided us with many updates throughout his stay. So grateful for her dog whispering!”
“I wish 10 stars was an option.....Tia and her family were amazing with Georgia and Sammi. I highly highly recommend them to anyone else needing boarding. She took extra steps to make sure our dogs were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of the whole time. The entire Dramble family was great! Thank you Tia!! We will be back :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“Athena was very happy when I picked her up, It was like she was on vacation while I was gone. I will definitely be having Adrienne watch Athena again.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Our dogs really loved it. They were not as happy to see us as they usually are when we pick them up from a kennel. From that we assumed they like being at Amy's very much. Amy was very good about keeping us informed about our dogs activities. We received numerous text with photos.”
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!
“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.”

“Nicole is the absolute best, she made my super anxious cat feel so safe within a week itself! My cat is wary with strangers yet she cuddled with Nicole, which is a big deal. I was sent a lot of pictures and videos, she was very responsive and communicative. I would highly recommend her to anyone, your cat will be in the safest hands. Thanks for everything ❤️”
“Wallis was the best sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet our girls before caring for them and even got our shy cat to come out of our shell around her.

About: Almost 2 years of pet food store retail experience with training courses on pet care, basic pet training and deep knowledge of pet nutrition. Taken care of both my dogs since puppies (now 9, and 1 years old). I volunteer with several rescues and have helped set up fundraising/exposure events to help rescue pets find a home! I’m a full time student at Duquesne University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I’m relatively flexible and just work around my class schedule. I have plenty of experience with my own two dogs, both being rescues, and plenty more experience with customer pets that would come into the store. I also volunteer with rescues shelters walking, bathing, and taking them to the park.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Ranging from high energy boxers to labs, indoor and outdoor, you name it. I’ve cat and dog sat for friends, family, and even professors in college, and now I want to officially! I love seeing funny requests like ‘needs a gourmet meal prepared (theatrics of course but I’d cook lol) or they won’t eat.’ Big fan of the cheese tax, because me too, and cats who are bread bakers. I love pets of any kind and size (even big dogs, snakes, etc) right when I meet them. I can be patient if they’re not a fan at first! I’d love to be able to help others and animals who have working parents, or even parents who just want to have fun and need some help.
“Jacqueline was amazing with my cat! She was very flexible and understanding when I had to extend the stay and when I had originally forgotten some of my cat’s things at home. I would highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again! I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my cat and I never worried once about whether or not my cat was in good hands.”

“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”
“I was able to enjoy an extended vacation knowing that my cats and home were in good hands with Akira. The cats were immediately drawn to him when he came for a pre-visit and I could tell they were content when I returrned home. I appreciate that Akira provided regular updates and also took care of watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out the trash, etc. i will hire Akira again if he's available the next time I travel.”
“Shannon did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats. They communicated very well and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and washing the dishes! Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life including fish, rodents, small birds, and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have experience with senior dogs, and anxious pups. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, medication, cuddles, and supervision. I have a low energy sweet senior pup who loves other dogs, and will begrudgingly share the couch with others. I also have a small parrot who generally minds his own business, but will be happy to let your pet know they’re a “pretty birdy”. My house is always stocked with disposable potty pads, reusable chucks, and all the pet safe enzyme cleaner anyone could need to clean up after old friends who have incontinence issues. There are throw rugs for comfort and traction, and a number of orthopedic beds perfect for pets with mobility issues who need a rest. You can bring your pets favorite treats with, and know that they also have access to a variety of different high quality easy to chew treats. Pets have access to a fenced in backyard with an outdoor patio for enjoying some fun in the sun on the outdoor sectional. They can enjoy walks in a quiet part of the neighborhood. I even have a stroller for pets under 20lbs.
“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.”

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 always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued a 6 year old white Labrador named “Zorro” who we brought before Covid began. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I’m currently very flexible with my schedule until June 15th as I recently relocated to Pittsburgh to start my residency training. I will be able to work around a time and a schedule post June and will be open to taking care of your pet as per your need and happy to coordinate a schedule with you with my availability. I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.
“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”
About: I brought our two cats, Chili and Lok-Lok, all the way from China, but I grew up with dogs in my family and love both. I’ve taken care of my family’s and friends’ dogs and I heard about this app so I thought it might be fun to give it a try. Whenever I get called on to dog-sit for my friend here in Pittsburgh I like to go to the dog parks near the South Side river or jog along with them, rain or snow, and socialize with other dogs. Looking forward to meeting yours! I’m a PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh so summer and winter breaks are relatively free, and usually I’m only “working” 2-3 half days per week. I have to do a lot of reading and thinking so getting out of the house is a good way to take a break and process. I have a fenced yard where I do some gardening and let our cats out every day to chase bugs and birds. My friends have stayed over with their dogs and I just move the cats to the second floor and keep them there while the dogs take the first and the yard.
About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Val is an absolutely incredible dog sitter and we are so lucky to have found her. She is very flexible and communicative with us on dates and times. And most importantly, she is so so amazing with our dog Wilson. He is so excited to go over there every time and she sends so many pictures and videos which are our favorite part! They do so many different activities and Wilson loves her son so much! Cannot rave enough, thank you and see you soon!!”
“Ellie was so great with my dog scout! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was a very quick communicator. I’d definitely reach out again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a sweet three-year-old chihuahua mix, and I truly enjoy meeting and bonding with new dogs. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. I live on Pittsburgh’s Northside with a small, secure fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor fun. Since I work from home full time, I can give your pet plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small fenced-in yard in Pittsburgh’s Northside for safe outdoor breaks, plus I love getting out for longer walks with my dog, at least once a day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I also have a baby gate to limit access to stairs for small dogs when needed. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to give them the attention, care, and love they deserve.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I have a 1-year-old cat of my own, help care for my boyfriend’s two pitbulls, and my family has two shih tzus, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also regularly pet sit for neighborhood furry friends, and even while attending boarding school in Boston, I cared for local pets there as well. I am committed to your furry family members’ happiness, comfort, and well-being. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and attention. My genuine love for animals and strong attention to detail show in everything I do—from keeping routines consistent to sending regular updates and photos—so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a recent graduate currently working part-time (4-6 hour shifts) while studying for my personal training certification, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of free time. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I can consistently handle feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning tasks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I take care of feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, and playtime based on the owner’s instructions. I also keep the home clean and provide updates so clients know their pet is safe and well cared for.
“We were in Pittsburgh for our wedding and were lucky enough to book with a few days notice. She was responsive and communicative. Very easy to book with and seemed capable of handling our awkward and anxious catahoula tripod.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Ranging from high energy boxers to labs, indoor and outdoor, you name it. I unfortunately don’t now because of living in the city and no pet policies. I’ve cat and dog sat for friends, family, and even professors in college, and now I want to officially! I love seeing funny requests like ‘needs a gourmet meal prepared (theatrics of course but I’d cook lol) or they won’t eat.’ Big fan of the cheese tax, because me too, and cats who are bread bakers. I love pets of any kind and size (even big dogs, snakes, etc) right when I meet them. I can be patient if they’re not a fan at first! I’d love to be able to help others and animals who have working parents, or even parents who just want to have fun and need some help. My daily and weekly schedule are pretty flexible! I work from home most days aside from Sunday really. I tend to have gaps during the day and work mostly in the afternoon and evening! I do live in the city and don’t mind boarding pets but I also want them to have space to roam so I rather come to you! I’m more than happy to take pets outside, to parks, on walks, or play. I know a lot of pets like consistency so I can prioritize working with you to find a set schedule.
About: I am a former teacher who left the profession. I am building my pet sitting business one sweet creature at a time. I have had my own dog that had to be put down at 8 for medical reasons and it was the worst day of my life. I have sat small and large dogs, cats, and have helped a friend with chickens. I am by no means a chicken expert though. I take pride in what I do. I also have my clearances from teaching, until they expire. I an currently a full time sitter, so I book sits ahead of time. I'm also available for check ins and walking at times as well. I want your pets to not miss a step just because you are not there. We'll do their routines and I would absolutely treat your pet and home with the respect as if they were my own.
“Super sweet person! Our golden, Ellie, seemed to really enjoy spending time with Jackie on her walk and she was able to use her commands and had control of her but was still very friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend Jackie.”
About: I have owned my rescue dog Rita for five years, and grew up caring for cat and in dogs in my household. Rita is a high-energy dog who requires lots of exercise and has developed some special needs as she has gotten older. I will give any pet the care and attention that I give to Rita! I am generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I have some flexibility to meet additional needs, as well. I keep my dog leashed and at my side whenever we are on a walk and closely monitor her when she is interacting with other dogs or people. I am happy to treat your pets with the same attentive care that I give to Rita!
“Shannon has been walking my pup for two weeks now and has been wonderful! The weather has been freezing and snowy and yet she has always showed up on time and has established a great relationship with my dog. She does a super job knowing when it’s too cold (or my dog just isn’t in the mood) to go for an extended walk and will just play with him inside a bit longer instead. Highly recommended!”
“Jordan is an exemplary dog walker in every sense. She is trustworthy, compassionate, and an excellent communicator. Our dog, Gravy, always leaves their walks happy and well exercised. We feel extremely lucky to have Jordan as a weekly walker and would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a cat! I have fostered cats before and am familiar with medications and some of those more shy/scared personalities. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pet and want to help create as much comfort for them as possible while you’re away. I am currently a grad student so I have a lot of schedule flexibility! Feel free to message me and I should be able to adapt to your needs. I intend to care for your pets exactly the way you do in your home. I am great at following instructions to the T and will respect any preferences you have with care. I’m also tidy and will clean up any messes that are made so your home looks exactly the way you left it.
“Great communication, interacted well with dogs, and got us out of a tight spot at very short notice after our regular Dogsitter/walker had an emergency.”

“Wallis was very considerate to come and meet Murphy before our scheduled walk and visit. She was very dependable and came right on time to take Murphy out. I would definitely have her again”
About: In my life I have been the proud owner of four cats, one dog, two chinchillas, two chameleons, and a Guinea pig. I've always had a passion for and love of animals. I've taken care of feral cat colonies, pet sit for my friends all the time, and even volunteered at an animal rescue in college where my favorite job was wearing a bee hand puppet and play fighting with a raccoon named Czar Czar who had lost the use of his back legs. Right now I work from home and choose my hours so I think my own spoiled cat must be getting a bit sick of me. Aside from doing the obvious like feeding, walking, cleaning, playing, I will focus on the pet's needs. If they seem sad or upset I will try to be a comforting presence. If they're bursting with energy I will match that. I'll follow where they lead.
“Very friendly and approachable. She was nice to Ellie and followed instructions. Ellie’s seemed really happy after her walk with her. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Richard T boarded our dog Callie for a week while we were on vacation. He set up a meet and greet at his home to get her comfortable being there before our trip. Each day, he sent us pictures of her playing or resting to keep us updated and set our minds at ease. Our dog is never crated, so we would not send her to a typical kennel. Richard boards the dogs in his home, so she had access to the house and yard, just like she would at our home. Callie had a great time with the other dogs so we will definitely use Richard T’s services again!”
“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 went above and beyond when watching our pup! She easily made him feel at home and provided us with many updates throughout his stay. So grateful for her dog whispering!”
“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.”
“Athena was very happy when I picked her up, It was like she was on vacation while I was gone. I will definitely be having Adrienne watch Athena again.”
“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.”
“Justin was very welcoming and after a visit together with Watson, I left Alexa in good hands. Justin sent lots of pictures of Alexa and Watson taking walks, and relaxing at home.”
“Nelia and her family took such good care of my dog. She was excellent with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. Nash seemed to really enjoy his time with them. I would definitely recommended Nelia and hope to be able to use her again for my dog sitting needs! Thank you, Nelia!”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“Our dogs really loved it. They were not as happy to see us as they usually are when we pick them up from a kennel. From that we assumed they like being at Amy's very much. Amy was very good about keeping us informed about our dogs activities. We received numerous text with photos.”
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!
“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.”
“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.”
“Emily and Patrick were great sitters for Nola while we were away attending a wedding. They sent multiple pictures and video updates for us, and Nola had a great time playing with Eli! Thank you so much 😊”
“I have two geriatric dogs that require medicine. Ellyn took amazing care of my girls while I was away and gave them as much comfort and snuggles as they could want. She helped my old dogs take their medicine and made me feel as though they were loved!”
“Adam was wonderful! He was a great communicator, sent updates and pics of my dog, and made me feel very comfortable being away from my dog. He proved trustworthy and caring with my dog, so I’ll definitely want to use him again!”
“It's always a good sign when your dog is excited to get to the dogsitter's home. And Krista was also understanding and flexible when my flight home went all wacky. I'll happily let her continue to take care of my dog.”
“Sam watched my German shepherd, Willow, for an overnight. She communicated really well, took great care of Willow, and very easy to work with. It’s clear to see Sam cares about your animal as much as you do, and we would recommend her to anyone!!”
