“This is probably the 25+ time our two have stayed with Amy -- the LOVE their time there and have so much fun. Amy is wonderful to work with on scheduling and pickup times. We go out of our way to drive and drop off with Amy even if we are heading in the opposite direction on our travels -- because she is so great!”


“Christy is extremely nice and easy to work with. Very flexible with our schedule and had kept us updated with pictures throughout the entire time. We are comfortable leaving our fur babies under her care. Will definitely use her service again.”


“Joe is so wonderful! Our puppy had a GREAT day with him and Zip. Joe was willing and able to take our Rosie for the day with only a few days’ notice, which was a huge help to us (we were in a bind!). He was very communicative, took great care of our dog, and sent us some really cute photos and updates. He made sure Rosie had a wonderful day despite all the gray and rainy weather. I’m so grateful! We’ll definitely be back!”

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 pups. 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. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm environment, I’m here to make them feel right at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry bff! 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 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: Overnight / day care: - 2 to 3 walks a day, around 30 minutes - at home care for 8 hours during the work week - spacious house with fenced in yard I grew up with three dogs, caring for them wrapped into my day to day routine growing up. Friends, family, and even coworkers have asked me to pet sit, allowing me to enjoy the perks of pet ownership whilst taking a hiatus on personal ownership currently. I also currently volunteer at the local shelter, which has provided me ample experience on how to manage different types of dogs with varying temperaments. I have a flexible work schedule, being able to pick and choose days/hours I work. My husband and I live quite an active lifestyle, going for daily runs/walks, and can incorporate your pet exercising needs however required. I love love love playing with dogs so rest assured your pet will be mentally and physically stimulated ! I live in a three story home with a fenced in yard with my husband. Your pet will have free rein in our entire home and have ample of outdoor space as well! If staying at a clients home I will be very respectful of your personal space and house rules !

About: When it comes to pet sitting, my extensive experience and deep love for dogs truly set me apart. I've been around dogs since I was a baby and have been taking care of them for over 15 years. This lifelong familiarity with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. In addition to my experience, I have special skills in both training puppies and providing care for senior dogs. I am well-versed in the unique requirements of each life stage, ensuring that your pet receives the appropriate attention and care. Currently, I have a 1.5-year-old sweet Bernedoodle who is well-socialized and loves both cats and dogs. This personal experience further enhances my ability to provide a loving and comfortable environment for your pets. Whether it's playtime, training, or senior care, I am dedicated to offering the best possible care for your furry family members. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day starts with dedicated time for feeding, walking, and playing with my dog, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Throughout the day, I incorporate short training sessions and regular bathroom breaks to maintain a structured schedule. In addition to daily care, my weekly routine includes more extensive activities such as grooming, longer outdoor adventures, and socialization opportunities with other pets. I make sure to set aside time for veterinary visits and any necessary health check-ups. Having a consistent routine not only keeps my own dog happy and healthy but also ensures that I am always prepared to provide top-notch care for other pets as well. My experience with my Bernedoodle has taught me the importance of maintaining a balanced and enriching routine, which I apply to all the pets I care for. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and loved. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to play and relax. I ensure that each pet has their own designated area with their bed, toys, and food/water bowls. Regular walks, playtime, and training sessions are part of the daily routine, along with lots of affection and attention. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, making sure they are happy and stress-free. When providing care in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize any disruption. I follow the feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with the pets, ensuring they get enough exercise, play, and companionship. I am also attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, treating it with the utmost respect. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or providing extra cuddles, I make sure every pet receives personalized and loving care.

About: Hi! I’m Lauren… There’s nothing in this world that I love more than my dog, Zoe.

Whether it’s going on walks, giving meds, or just spending time together… Anything you need for your pup, I’m there for you! (note that Zoe doesn’t live with me; She’s home with my parents!)

What YOU can expect: • A thorough pre-booking review of things that will keep your dog/cat comfortable and safe • open communication 24/7 • an influx of pictures of your happy pup/cat • safety in knowing that your pup is in good hands What your PET can Expect: • comfortable naps in my air conditioned home • long or short walks to local parks • a surplus of attention, pets, and cuddles • the best day ever, basically.

Lauren P.
“Lauren is a wonderful and caring person, and that shows when she takes care of pets! She is extremely responsible and will always make sure that your pet is taken care of and happy! She is extremely down to earth and will get along with multiple dog personalities because of that. She also has a dog with many allergies and quirks. I’ve seen how super attentive she is to ensure the safety of her own dog, and I’m sure she would do the same for anyone else’s too.”
