Top rated West Oakland doggy day care sitters

“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.”


“Christy was great! She was able to look after our lab mix Darcy while we went to the Mattress Factory. She was easy to coordinate with and did a great job of managing the dogs she was watching along with Darcy. Christy relieved all the stress of leaving our dog in a strange place in a new city. Highly recommend!”


“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.”



“Amy is simply amazing! My little one jumps out of my arms to go to doggy day care with her. She loves all of the dogs so much and it shows. We would never use anyone else.”


“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!”


“Booked last minute with Annie and I’m so thankful for her! We were were able to do all the site seeing knowing our doggo was having fun! Thank you so much!”


“My dog, Franklin, had such a wonderful time staying with Sara! She took great care of him and sent us so many great photos of him playing. I know he had fun because he was exhausted when he got home. I would definitely look to book with Sara again in the future!”


“Michael and Maria were wonderful with taking care of our pug at their place. We were visiting Pittsburgh and needed to find a sitter to take care of our pug while we were out for a bit. Communication was excellent, responsive, and the status updates during our pug’s care was appreciated. Our pug has separation anxiety, but Maria was able to calm her down faster than the other sitters we have used. I could tell by comparing time stamps of the care text updates. We felt comfortable with Michael and Maria, and our pug came back to us very calm. We would book again if back in town. Thank you!”


“Ellyn was fantastic! She was flexible with us and super responsive, and our dog was clearly very well cared for! I also appreciated that our dog got lots of exercise and attention, and working with Ellyn was a great and pleasant experience.”


“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”


About: As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I currently have a two-year-old chihuahua mix. I love meeting new dogs and can’t wait to spend time with your pets! I own a home with a small fenced-in yard on Pittsburgh's Northside, perfect for safe outdoor play. Since I work from home full time, I can ensure plenty of attention, walks, and playtime for your furry friend. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Since I work from home full time, I have the flexibility to ensure regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make sure to incorporate short breaks for outdoor play in my small fenced yard, and longer walks to explore the neighborhood. I make pet care a priority and adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I’m caring for. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated like family. Pets are welcome throughout the house and are free to relax on furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I ensure they follow their regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. Since I work from home, I’m always around to give them the attention they deserve, making sure they feel loved and at ease.

“Emily did an outstanding job caring for my very anxious dog, providing her with the patience and reassurance she needed. Her reliability and clear communication throughout the entire process made everything so much easier for me. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and attentive dog sitter!”


“Jack and his girlfriend were absolutely wonderful! They cared for our little pup and did such a great job. We got updates, great communication, and the best photos! We’ve never seen our pup not want to leave, so it was truly just magical, to see how happy/comfortable he was with them! I would recommend them 1000/10 times:) they was even KIND enough to take a last minute booking after a sitter canceled on us with two hours notice. Even better he played some of his music for our pup and absolutely serenaded him! They both just went out of their way to go above and beyond:)”


“Dax had so much fun with Ella!! She came in clutch last minute!!”

About: Growing up, I was surrounded by a variety of pets—everything from dogs and cats to fish, birds and reptiles, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience with different types of animals. As an adult, I’ve personally cared for my own dogs, cats, and fish, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ve always been the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors when they needed help with walking, feeding, or sitting for their pets. My experience spans everything from daily walks to special care for senior pets (as my last dog went blind at 11 years old). I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I usually work from my home office providing Digital Productivity Coaching to executives, business owners and professionals. So, I'm easily capable of keeping pets company when needed. I'm also a fitness enthusiast so I love taking dogs out on walks through the parks nearby. I have a bi-level condo unit and depending on the pet, I can give them as much or as little space as they need to be comfortable. I currently don't have any pets here. I'm also happy to crate your pet if needed for their comfort or safety.

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.
