“Friendly and professional. Enough updates that I felt comforted but not pupsick. She was able to keep our needy lab entertained. We came home to a happy, tired dog. She will be our go to for future boarding needs.”
“Our pups had a blast with Wendy! Between the pup drinks and extra walks our girls got the VIP treatment and it helped my anxious Beagle not stress too much without me. Wendy sent us daily videos of my girls and helped me not stress as well. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time we leave town!”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Anthony and Leslie did a fantastic job taking care of our adult golden! She’s a bit nervous in new surroundings but they found a way to curb that anxiety! She truly seemed at ease and had bonded with them! Very nice people i am totally comfortable using again!!”
“We had such a great experience having Angeline and her family take care of our dog, Marley! We knew right away that he would be well cared for and would love staying in her home. Marley had a fun week playing with their dogs and I know he had a blast because he was honestly smiling in many of the pictures she sent to us. It was great getting to see our pup so happy there! We would absolutely have Angeline watch Marley again! We really appreciated her being so nice!!!!”
“My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I also appreciated Chelsey being available on short notice when unexpected travel came up. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“Lindsey and Bob are the best. My dog is very friendly but a lot to handle because he has high exercise needs. They do a great job not only taking care of him but also he has a blast there playing with their dogs and family. I highly recommend them!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our not so easy pups. She made our daycation relaxing and stress free! We got pictures and updates all day long. Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle and Sami were great when they watched my girl, Kira. They treated her like family and sent pictures/updates during her stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“We had Lauren take care of our dog, Reyna, and all went really well. She sent daily pictures of Reyna on walks, interacting with her dog, playing with toys and just chillin'. She also replied to any questions we had on a timely manner. Lauren relayed that Reyna got along with her dog, Charlie, and the other dog she was watching, Hannah, really well. Lauren seemed like a really kind, laid-back person, and so did her fiancée, and we would most definitely consider leaving Reyna with her again anytime we are out of town. I recommend Lauren to anyone that's looking for a kind and responsible dog-sitter.”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”

“Cheryl gives my pup a second home away from home - I could tell from the many pictures she sent that he was comfortable, happy, and loved just like he is with his family. I could not be more pleased. Thank you for being awesome, Cheryl <3”
“Oh wow, booking a stay for our dog with Armida has officially set the bar incredibly high for what great dog care can and should look like! From before the booking even started, she wanted to know the interests and preferences of our pup, and planned around it all, including her own sleeping arrangements to ensure our pup was comfortable!! She pampered our pup so well, it felt that the dog was welcomed as a part of their family for the week! I cannot recommend Armida highly enough! One of the sweetest, kindest people I've ever met, too. We will forever be using Armida for our dog care needs for as long as she is available!!”

“Tori was a life savor, she took care of our very anxious and shy cat for the last 4 days. An unexpected trip put us in a true bind, I had reached out rather late in the night..she responded immediately and assured me that Penny will be taken care of and to not worry. It was such a relief! She came home, picked up Penny and shared constant updates thru the week..she was very much in tune with my state of mind as well and reassured me every step of the way that my pet is in good hands. I cannot thank Tori enough. Great communicator, has a lot of experience and is a very caring sitter. I am so relieved I found her and cannot recommend her enough to others.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Jacqueline! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving our two dogs in her care. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated both of our dogs as if they were her own. Jacqueline kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Finding someone you can truly trust with your pets is so important, and we feel very lucky to have found Jacqueline. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will absolutely be using Jacqueline again! ❤️🐾”

“Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!”

“Tabatha was a blessing! I felt at ease while on vacation with Tabatha caring for our pets. From what I can tell she kept them on their toes and probably did a better job then I would do! I never expected so many pictures of them either playing, eating, or just being goofy. Would definitely recommend and hope she's available next time!”

“Kristie provided amazing service while caring for our 17 year-old cat while we were on vacation.

We will definitely use Kristie for pet sitting again!”

“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”

About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019, including caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I understand that some cats are social right away while others need patience, quiet, and space to warm up. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent check-ins, feeding, litter care, playtime, and updates while you are away. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I genuinely enjoy caring for other people’s pets and treating them with the same attention and respect I would want for my own.

“Basil came home tired and worn out. I think she had a good time staying at Heather's with her man, and the kids! Would recommend her! Shes punctual with replying back, very informative, and fairly prices, and she accommodated basil with her special need.”
“10/10 would recommend. You can tell how much effort she put into her bio and her house setup for pets. She's such a sweetheart very reasonably priced but deserves a good tip. I love how experienced she is with a variety. I love the play places she has setup for the pets. I am excited to hopefully keep coming to her. She even gave us a little goodie bag. It was so cute. I especially enjoyed the updates and pics and Vids. Wendy is wonderful”

“Anthony was great watching my dog. Very responsible and caring. I can tell Finnegan got plenty of play time by the photos and videos. Would not think twice about letting Finnegan stay there again. Awesome!”
“My dog Arthur has very specific needs and doesn’t feel comfortable with just anybody. Arthur seemed to settle right in, and take over. He even ate his dinner which he doesn’t do when he’s nervous or anxious. I’m hoping that Chris will be available again sometime when I would like to get out of the house. Extremely pleased!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I've been caring for dogs and other pets for over 35 years, beginning in childhood and continuing throughout my adult life as a pet owner. Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel safe, loved, and at ease while their family is away. I'm patient, attentive, and reliable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs and understand the extra attention, gentleness, and consistency they often require. Whether a pet needs an energetic play session, a leisurely walk, medication reminders, or simply a calm companion, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to provide pet parents with peace of mind, knowing their beloved family member is receiving loving, dependable care in a safe and comfortable environment. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. As a dog owner, I spend time every day walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for my own pups. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is for pet parents to know their pets are in caring, dependable hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistency with their usual routine. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is being cared for as if they were a member of the family. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. Pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervised care throughout their stay. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I have a fenced in backyard (pictured) where they can run freely and play while staying safe. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise or playtime, and plenty of companionship during each visit. I take time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they receive individualized care. I am respectful of my clients' homes and always ensure everything is secure before leaving. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for whether they're staying with me or I'm visiting them in their own home.
About: I have been caring for pets my whole life. I have always had my own pets as well so I understand all of the responsibilities that go into caring for an animal. I love dogs and have experience working with them both small and large, ranging in ages from puppy to elderly. I love helping them get their daily exercise and helping them learn new tricks using positive reinforcement. I love going outside with them and allowing them to either run or even play a good game of fetch. I am also currently a cat mom myself so I also am capable of caring for cats as well. I realize that cats are both very independent but at the same time require affection as well. Your pet will be taken care of and loved as if it were my own.
About: A couple of months after we married my husband adopted our first dog, Sandy, and I’ve been hooked ever since. That was 26 years ago.

We can play fetch or simply keep each other company. I will do what it takes to make your baby comfortable and happy.

About: Hello! My name is Tabatha Garman, I am the sole owner and operator of Special Paws Pet Care and a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). As a veterinary technician, I play the nurse role of the veterinary team. I graduated from Kent State University with my Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology in May of 2021 and am currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Integrated Studies focused in animal behavior. While in school for my technician license, I gained various hands-on skills with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds, horses, snakes, and much more. Outside of school, I have trained at numerous veterinary hospitals and gained vital experience in CPR and emergency response. My personal experience caring for animals expands far beyond my education and career, as I have cared for my own, family's, and friend's pets my entire life. As previously mentioned, I have a vast range of experience with different species from small pocket pets and reptiles to large and farm animals. I love working with nearly any species, especially pigs and cows! My medication administration skills are just as vast, including giving various types of injections and fluids, oral pill and liquid administration, topical applications, etc. Any pets with special needs are assured to be taken care of! Specializing in animal behavior, those with unique personalities or who are a bit grumpy or naturally prefer alone time are some of my favorite to work with. I love working to understand them and win them over and am happy to try to work with any type of disposition or behavioral challenges. No job is too big or small. Whether you have a pet that needs daily medication, help getting around, and extra special care, or just want to feel comforted knowing that your furry family member is in great hands, I am happy to care for any and all of them. I am currently dedicating my time to in-home pet care while going to school full-time online, so I am free to fit your pet into my schedule however you may need. While I do personalize my schedule to fit your pet specifically, my typical day is scheduled like this and changed as needed, just to give you a better idea of your pet's time with me: When I arrive, I always spend time making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and has everything they need. When staying with them overnight, I will keep them company until morning, make sure they have everything they need and get some pets or playtime in, then I will leave as needed to tend to any other appointments, making sure to return to check-in and spend time with them at minimum every 3-4 hours, unless more frequently is needed. Whether you just need a daily check in and play time for your cat while you're away, or if you need someone to take your pup out every couple of hours along with walks and lots of play time, or even if you have an older pup who can't really spend time alone at all, we can definitely make a plan to suit your family purrr-fectly. Your pet's safety is always my top priority. Whether at home, in the car, at the vet, out for a walk, or at the park, I am always extremely diligent to make sure your pet stays safe and sound. I always use doggy seatbelts or enclosures when driving, reflective strips and flashlights at night, ramps and manual assistance for mobility-challenged pups, predator-deterrent to protect them from harm, and vet-approved chews or boredom busters to make sure your pup is happier and healthier when you arrive back home. Out of an abundance of caution, I typically do not have pets I'm watching interact with other pets I'm unfamiliar with (ie: no communal dog parks). In the case that anything does happen while I am with them, I am trained on the safest and most effective way to stop a dog fight, as well as being trained in CPR, emergency triage and response, and homeostatic stabilization. I also always have a list of the nearest emergency hospitals on hand should they ever be needed. I strive to follow all pet-parent's wants and needs for their pets, including whatever training or rules you may have for your pet while they are in my care (crating, treats, toys, etc). If there are any additional safety measures you would like to discuss, just let me know!
“Courtney was so caring and loving to our mini australian shepherd. Our dog is just a year old and this is the first time that we’ve had to go on an overnight trip without her. We were gone 4 days and our dog was very anxious. Courtney was a calming, loving and caring presence for her. She did an excellent job. We will definitely have her again and highly recommend her.”

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

“Friendly and professional. Enough updates that I felt comforted but not pupsick. She was able to keep our needy lab entertained. We came home to a happy, tired dog. She will be our go to for future boarding needs.”
“Our pups had a blast with Wendy! Between the pup drinks and extra walks our girls got the VIP treatment and it helped my anxious Beagle not stress too much without me. Wendy sent us daily videos of my girls and helped me not stress as well. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time we leave town!”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Anthony and Leslie did a fantastic job taking care of our adult golden! She’s a bit nervous in new surroundings but they found a way to curb that anxiety! She truly seemed at ease and had bonded with them! Very nice people i am totally comfortable using again!!”
“My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I also appreciated Chelsey being available on short notice when unexpected travel came up. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“Lindsey and Bob are the best. My dog is very friendly but a lot to handle because he has high exercise needs. They do a great job not only taking care of him but also he has a blast there playing with their dogs and family. I highly recommend them!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our not so easy pups. She made our daycation relaxing and stress free! We got pictures and updates all day long. Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle and Sami were great when they watched my girl, Kira. They treated her like family and sent pictures/updates during her stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“We had Lauren take care of our dog, Reyna, and all went really well. She sent daily pictures of Reyna on walks, interacting with her dog, playing with toys and just chillin'. She also replied to any questions we had on a timely manner. Lauren relayed that Reyna got along with her dog, Charlie, and the other dog she was watching, Hannah, really well. Lauren seemed like a really kind, laid-back person, and so did her fiancée, and we would most definitely consider leaving Reyna with her again anytime we are out of town. I recommend Lauren to anyone that's looking for a kind and responsible dog-sitter.”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them.

About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“Angela and Joseph were absolutely wonderful with Amelia and Zelda! From the very beginning, they were kind, attentive, and incredibly caring. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands.”
