“Bryn and boots were great hosts! Bryn took great care of our dog Julie. She seemed to really care about and follow Julie’s schedule. She was extremely communicative and we really appreciated all the updates even during a holiday week. Julie seemed to love spending time and playing with Boots. We will definitely be requesting to book again!”

“Mungo has stayed with Christy several times and loves her and her dogs, so I wasn’t too concerned about leaving him for ten days while I was off the grid in Costa Rica. Every morning I was able to hop on the wi-fi for a few minutes and I always had an update from Christy and a picture of Mungo playing or sleeping. The updates assured me that he was on vacation too and having a good time. Christy always takes such good care of him and Mungo is always excited when we get to her house, which is his way of giving a five star review.”

I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“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!! ❤️”
“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.”
“Our dog raced to the front door remembering her stay with Jena and Nick from last year. She remained happy and was able to stick to her normal routines while there. Jena sent pictures and updates regularly and was good about reporting any concerns or issues such as the air quality preventing long walks. They were genuinely concerned about Liz’s well being which is so important to us. Our pet was well cared for, and we plan to use them any time we need a dog sitter. We find them to be reliable, caring, and responsible and know Liz is in good hands while we are away.”

“Our experience with Adrienne was excellent! She was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly cared so much about our dog. Throughout the stay, she sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected the whole time. It was clear from every message and photo that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her communication was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure both we and our pup had a great experience. We truly appreciated her warmth, attentiveness, and reliability. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Debbie & Adam are amazing, we were super hesitant to leave our baby with anyone and are so happy we found them. This was our little mans first time being away from us, ever, and they were absolutely great with Murphy. They checked in with us and sent pics and videos of him throughout his stay which as crazy puppy parents helped keep our mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend Debbie and Adam!”
“Shanna is a wonderful dog sitter. This is our second time having our dogs stay with her and we will definitely be asking Shanna next time we need a sitter! You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and makes them feel so loved and cared for. She sent several pictures every day and our pups looked so relaxed and happy. Highly highly recommend!!”

“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.”

“Clytie was amazing with my shy cat. We needed help getting her into the carrier, and even though she was nervous and hiding, Clytie handled everything calmly and patiently.

She was also very responsive, shared photos, kept us updated throughout, and got her safely into the carrier in a short time. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Adrienne is amazing! She sent us frequently updates on how Yogi was doing. Yogi got his walks, ate his food and had a lot of fun. Can’t wait to bring him back!”
“Christy has watched Peach throughout her entire life; sometimes it was a weekly basis, a few times she watched her at a last minute Emergency notice, and had even boarded her over a long weekend. Peach isn't a big fan of humans but loves going to Christy's, getting to visit with her friends. Peach loves her dog Louie and playing with the other pups that she takes care of. I enjoy the photo updates, I am happy that Peach feels safe and I feel comforted while she is in Christy's care, and that Christy allows the dogs on the furniture-Peach even got to sleep in bed when she stayed. I hope I never have to go through the process of figuring out another sitter because Christy is the one for us; Highly Recommend for any of you and your pets needs! Thank You Christy for Everything over the last 3 years!!!”
“Amy helped me out in a bind. I needed her last minute and she was there to watch my pooch. She hadn't seen him in over 5 years and remembered him and his sweet characteristics. She was quick to respond and gave me updates as needed.”
“Julia did a wonderful job with Bagel. She took her on many walks, played with her and gave her plenty of attention. Bagel is not good with other dogs and other animals so we were grateful to find someone who does not have any pets. Definitely will book with her 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!”
“Gregory was an awesome sitter! He was so easy to communicate with and was super laid back. He listened to my pups needs and made sure pup was happy. He has the sweetest dog (Zora) that I have ever met. I’m so glad I found Zora and Gregory. I’ve never seen my pup leave as happy as he did, this sit:)”
About: I grew up with a chihuahua and small pomapoo and after that I had two Great Danes. I currently have a golden doodle named Sesame. I have a pretty relaxed schedule currently so I’m free nearly 24/7 to be able to care for your fur babies. I can do overnight stays as well! Making sure that both the pets and owner feel comfortable is a top priority. From there, I find it important to figure out the dogs routine and make sure I stick to it.
“Sara was absolutely great. It seems that, unfortunately, my one dog was growling at another dog and she handled it perfectly. She was communicative, welcoming and professional. I would definitely book her again to look after my pups.”
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.
“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.”
“Fantastic day with Bruno…Walks, naps, lots of attention and yummy treats and food… thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Bruno. He was so nice and understanding when I had to work late..thank you. We will see you again soon.”
“Lauriane was wonderful! Our Louie is a nervous boy and Lauriane's calm demeanor allowed Louie to feel comfortable and right at home. Lauriane kept us updated with photos and texts throughout the day letting us know how Louie was adjusting. We would not hesitate to recommend Lauriane!”
“Laura was wonderful with our puppy! She was super communicative and provided a clean, warm, and safe space for our dog for the day. Our young puppy was well supervised, had plenty of bathroom breaks, opportunities for rest and exercise, and lots of great enrichment thanks to Laura's unique household set-up. I feel very fortunate to have found Laura as a great option to send my dog and have already booked several more dates.”
“Valerie and her son were absolutely incredible!! We made the request last minute and she was able to accommodate us which was so sweet. She’s great with communication and flexible as well. Most importantly, she kept in touch with us throughout the day, kept Wilson active and playful, and gave us a very detailed report at the end of the day. We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”
“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I love dogs, I used to help take care of our family dog before she passed away, and I always help out with my neighbors three pets! I miss being around pets, so helping out on Rover will be a good substitute. :)) I have a pretty wide-open schedule. I will be out of the city at the end of October for Halloween. Please feel free to message with any questions! I have pet-friendly apartment. I live near a lot of grassy areas and a few outdoor trails I could take them for frequent walks on!

“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!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for family and friends since I was young. Growing up with a dog, cats, and chickens, I have lots of pet experience! During the beginning of COVID, I got a puppy with my sister and was the main care taker and trainer for several years. I am excited to love your pets just as much as you do! I am a Pitt post-grad, currently working as a fitness instructor. I coach average 2-5 classes per day, so have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the day. My dog at home is a bit of a tricky walker, and wasn’t very good with other dogs when he was younger, so I have lots of experience and can adapt to a dogs walking style and needs.
“I needed someone consistent for when I’m at work and Jacqueline has been coming to walk my girl for the past few weeks. She has great communication, is wonderful with my dog, and is a caring dog walker. I would hire her anytime and will continue to do so.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both drop in and overnight visits, for two years now. I’ve dealt with small and large dogs and know how to handle them. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in one house and know the different needs each dog requires! I am currently on break for summer from college so I am available anytime throughout the week and weekends. If you are booking day of please be aware I may have other arrangements but for the most part I should be free. Any rules and information I need are required before I enter the home.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, volunteered walking regular, power and bashful dogs for 2 years at the humane animal rescue of Pittsburgh, currently have 2 cats.

“Valerie has been wonderful to work with! I feel so comfortable leaving Finn with her, and he seems to welcome her company. She’s also very responsive and gives detailed summaries. I definitely recommend her!!”
About: When I am home from school, I live with 2 dogs and 4 cats. My mother frequently fosters dogs from all different walks of life, so I am used to adapting to many unique circumstances! Wether your dog is out going or never leaves their crate, I’m your girl for every kind of care! I am a home body, so with the exception of the classes I have (only Tuesday through Thursday) I am always around! Having animals gives me a sense of motivation, I love knowing I’m starting and ending my day by caring for a pet. I miss my puppies while I’m away at school and can’t wait to give yours all the love I have built up! I love having a buddy to hang out with while I am doing homework, making dinner, or relaxing watching TV. I love a good schedule and will make sure your dog feels as good as possible following the same routine with me!
