“Ric is fantastic! He takes such good care of Wendel and I have peace of mind each week when I know he is over Ric's house with his playful and sweet pups!”
“Michael and his wife are honestly the best. They take such good care of our Millie and her tag starts wagging as soon as she knows she’s going to their home. She has a wonderful time with them and her furry friends and comes home worn out!”
“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Amy did a great job with my Lab, Abigail. This was my first experience with a private sitter, but Amy kept me informed throughout the week and I never had any concerns. Abigail had a great time and came home exhausted every night. I highly recommend her and look forward to being a repeat customer myself.”
“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”

Gave updates and sent pictures of my 5 month old English bulldog puppy throughout the day & even helped distract my puppy during drop off because she has separation anxiety. Overall Aaron assured me my dog would be in good hands and he didn’t let me down ! I am definitely going to continue to keep booking with him !”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful with our 6 year old dog, Meeko. Meeko absolutely adores being at her house to play fetch all day long and take long walks in the woods.

About: I have always had a passion for animals since I was a baby. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, ferrets, etc. throughout elementary school, middle school, high school, as well as college! Furry friends automatically put me in such a good mood and I’ve missed having animals in my life. Before I moved to New York, I fostered many cats and dogs and miss having them in my home. I am WFH so I am complete available to spend all day and night with your furry ones! I love going for walks during the day. I can drop in as often as needed for lots of walks and attention! I have an extremely flexible job that can allow me to address any last minute issues.
About: I had a dog every since I was 2 years old. I’ve taken care of fosters, my own dogs, friends dogs. I can give references if needed I work from home M-F and can give my animals full attention. Dogs will be given constant access to my huge back yard and plenty of attention. I have a calm submissive golden doodle and a full fenced in back yard. I can care for most dogs but if you have a jumper of over 48 inches then this may not be the best fit as I give my dogs free range of the yard when I work.
“Kate is the best. She was affectionate and caring, sending updates at least twice a day. My dog got on so well with her and her family that he whined when it was time to leave. Thank you Kate!”
About: My husband, my dog and I live on 2 acres of property, half of which is fenced in (most of the yard is shown in my pictures). The other half that is not fenced in is a great place for running around and playing fetch. When your pup is staying with us, they will find a relaxing home away from home, with daily exercise and frequent potty breaks. Callie is a super sweet and low energy dog who gets along with medium to low energy dogs: shy dogs tend to be very comfortable around her. **Moderate to high energy dogs are not the best fit for our home. **It is required that your pup’s nails are maintained/trimmed as most of my floors are wood :) I rescued Callie four years ago, but prior to that I was a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society in the Northside for several years. I took several dog behavior classes during my time at the Humane Society. I have also worked with a professional dog trainer in my own home (Say It Once Dog Training), and am very experienced and passionate about dog training and behavior. Additionally, my husband and I are volunteers with Pilots and Paws dog rescue, where we transport adoptable rescue dogs by private plane to their foster or permanent homes in PA. My dog Callie is my whole world and I go above and beyond to make sure she has the best life possible! I have a special place in my heart for senior and rescue dogs :) **I don’t have any breed preferences as long as your dog is friendly with other dogs and will not chew on/destroy items in the home (outside of dog toys/bones/dog related items). I work from home and my house is on 2 acres of property so I am flexible with being able to care for your dog’s needs and encourage regular outside breaks/ lounging time. I never leave dogs outside unattended while they are in my care. I am very particular about caring for your pup in the exact way that you prefer and they are comfortable with. I am adamant about my dog keeping her routine and level of comfort when I am out of town, so I will do the same for you and your dog when they are in my care :)
About: Hello furry and human friends 🐾 We are Adrieanna & Justin, a couple who have been together for almost 7 years and have cared for animals for over 15 years of our lives. From our own fur babies, friends and family we love and welcome ALL animals!! I work a typical 9-5 schedule in the office however, my partner, Justin and I share the responsibilities when we receive a booking. Justin works an opposite schedule than I do. So someone will always be home with your pets. I would treat any clients fur baby with the same love, care and respect as I do my own. They will always feel special and taken care of in our home! There are no worries when it comes to administering medications as I feel very comfortable doing so. Having a dog of my own with skin allergies I administer her medications daily. Which includes but is not limited to oral and topical medications.
“Sarah took excellent care of my pup! She came home happy and tired, which is a good thing. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello, I have owned dogs for over 20 years and I am a dog lover. Currently, I work from home and have no pets. if you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, flexible and professional, then I am the right person for you! I am excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I am bilingual (English and Spanish) overlap if there is a need. I work from home Monday through Friday. Your pet would be with me at home throughout the day, and as I take frequent breaks, I can take them out to walk when needed in general when they are with me, they would be walked twice a day. Dogs will be inside the house. I always make sure that my home is very clean and any potential hazards to the pets are removed. Safety is my first priority when it comes to taking care of your pet.

I have witnessed her connect with many dogs through her volunteerism at numerous dog shelters and events throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. She will not only provide your pets with the necessary attention, she will truly care for each animal she comes into contact with. When family or friends need a proper dog-sitter, I recommend Lauren 100% of the time!”
Enrico M.
“Rico is great with dogs and is frankly one of only a small select number of people that I would trust with my own dog for an extended period.

“As a devoted pet owner, I can highly recommend Sarah's pet services. My Zoe received excellent care and attention while in Sarah's care. She has a large property which allows Zoe to be able to run and play in addition to the long walks she goes on with Sarah. One other extremely important benefit of Sarah's services is that she is an expert in pet nutrition. While I bring my own food to her, she made suggestions on how to improve Zoe's skin condition by adding homemade natural food. to her diet. Above all Sarah is trustworthy and can eliminate any stress you may have when leaving your pets.”
Adrieanna S.
“Adrieanna watched my two kitties for a week while I was on vacation this summer. She was so great with my fur babies! She made she to give them lots of love while checking on them, gave them treats, and of course made sure they had plenty of food and water, replenished their litter and made sure their area was clean. She even sent photos/videos when I was missing them! I would 100% recommend her as your next pet caregiver :)”

Esmirna M.
