About Alyssa

15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
My name is Alyssa and I am an animal lover! I care about the safety and happiness of you and your pet and strive to provide quality care for each of my clients. I have owned and sat for dogs 15 years, 2 years professionally. I am extremely flexible and want to make each stay as comfortable as possible. At our meet and greet, I will get an idea of your normal routine with your pet and stick to that as closely as possible. I love going on walks, playing, or just hanging around the house if that is what your pet prefers! I live right across the street from a dog park and love to hit it up with the dogs I sit. I am uncomfortable with pets that are aggressive towards humans, but have experience sitting pets that are aggressive towards other pets. I'm very comfortable with potty-training pets. I also have experience working with dogs with special needs and medication. Cats, reptiles, birds, fish, etc. are fun for me to care for as well! Right now my housing does not allow dogs, so I am offering visits and stays at owner's homes only. I cannot wait to meet your fluffy friend!

My dogs ( Lola & Peanut) are soooooo lucky that I found Alyssa to come and stay over when we are away ! Chuck & I always feel at ease knowing she'll be here to take care of the dogs
Our first time having a Petsitter in our home . Our meet & greet with Alyssa confirmed that we were completely comfortable with her in our home , caring for our pups Peanut & Lola ??

I am an outgoing, fun loving, huge heart-ed, animal lover. My experience comes from a full life growing up on a horse farm. I have had several different types of fur babies. I, by no means, claim to know everything about anything. I just love pets for the beautiful, fun creatures they are! =)

Kelly was great! Flexible, easy to work with and kept us in touch the whole time we were gone. Our dogs and cats were well cared for. I recommend her services!
I was in a bind to find a sitter let minute. Kelly saved me. Dogs loved here, I got regular updates and she took care of everything. Do yourself a favor and book Kelly.

Hello! My name is Alessandra and I truly am an animal lover. I've grown up around animals my whole life and will always be the first to show them my love. I myself own a dog, a rescue mixed dog, but mostly Greyhound, who is now living with my parents. I took care of her for 7 years, which involved bathing, feeding, taking her for walks, playing with her, grooming, and training. I'd love to give any other family my services, as well!

Chuck & I were so pleased with the service provided by Alessandra. Our "girls" Lola & Peanut are pretty demanding of attention, lol . Thanks for all the love & snuggles that you gave them ??. We are completely comfortable with Alessandra in our home and will definitely have her return when needed ??????

Another terrific experience with Greg. He was timely when we met for handing over the house key and it was clear that the dogs were relaxed and not anxious when I got home... the BEST sign that they were treated very well. They were sleeping so I know that meant he took them on a nice long walk and not just around the block. I got another pic letting me know they were doing just fine. Excellent Excellent Excellent!!

If I could give 10 stars I would!! This was my first experience with dogvacay, so I was a little nervous about what to expect. Greg surpassed every expectation & I am so thankful that I found someone who is caring, considerate & very professional. I'm new to Pittsburgh & do not have available local family here so leaving for work or weekend getaways were becoming impossible. Greg took the time to meet my pups before my trip to make sure they were comfortable with him... and even sent me a text with pic each day to let me know I could rest easy, knowing that my pups were being well taken care of. I'm already booking my next appointment. Greg was sincerely a pleasure and allowed me to relax & not worry. :)

About Nicole

18 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Since childhood, animals have been a huge part of my life. I raised my own dog (from puppyhood through old age-she recently passed away at the age of 18), I volunteer at Animal Friends (a no-kill shelter located north of the city), and grew up around both pets and working dogs when working on a horse farm.

I am currently a filmmaker living in Bloomfield, and because of the sporadic hours and occasional travel required, I am unable to have a dog of my own. I do, however, have many open days when I am not booked on a job that can be spent pampering your furry friend!

A typical day of dog-sitting might look like this:
Starting with breakfast and a brisk walk, this will be the first of about 5 walks per day including 2 long walks. The second long walk will include the dog park (if permitted by the owner) and can include sniffing and saying hello to other dogs for dogs that cannot tolerate exercise (senior dogs, injured dogs, etc) or more vigorous activity like fetch, frisbee, and pack running with fellow dogs in order to satisfy each breed or mix's need for speed.

The second walk will be followed by a wipe-down and brushing (or a bath if playing in the mud is our furry friend's play of choice).

Another 1-2 meals (according to owners instructions), lots of cuddles, and a couple of trips outside before bed will round out the day!

About Jordan

3 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am a huge animal lover, so I am excited to provide care for your pet while you are gone. I have grown up with animals in my life and consistently watch other people's dogs when they need a walk or a friend. I began fostering last year and enjoyed getting to play with and teach the pups before they got adopted. Providing a caring home to these dogs is so fulfilling!

I moved to Pittsburgh this fall to complete a Master's in Educational Technology after working as a materials engineer for several years in Colorado. Thanks to the flexibility of the student schedule, I can easily check on pets during lunch breaks and can promise walks and lots of play time in the mornings and evenings after work. I lead a pretty active lifestyle and would love to bring your pet on walks, runs, or hikes.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet, learning what they like to do best - whether it's playing fetch or getting belly rubs and cuddling, and providing care for them while they get to stay where they stay safe. As a note, I will be pet-sitting in owner's homes.

Jorden was amazing! She was so quick to respond and provided frequent updates. My two dogs LOVED spending time with her and were sad to have her leave. She gave them lots of love, took them for walks, and stuck to their schedule very nicely. I would highly recommend Jorden!! :)

We would highly recommend Jordan. She took very good care of our dogs and checked in with us with cute pictures to give us piece of mind. We felt very comfortable leaving the dogs on her care and are so glad we found her!
Jordan was great with our two dogs! She took good care of them, including regularly giving mine her medicine. Everything was easy and problem free. The pups love her. She was even able to make our last minute reservation work out.
Our normal dog sitter wasn't available for an out of town wedding and we never had used anyone else. We found Dog Vacay then we found Jordan and we are so happy we did. She took Stewie on walks and hikes all while staying at our home which is perfect because he has high anxiety when he goes to other places. She kept in contact with us the entire time she even sent pictures. We will definitely use her again and again as we came home to a perfect house and happy doggy!!!

Jordan was great! She totally worked with my changing plans and visited with Brady my dog when I came home early instead of doing an overnight visit! My dog is blind and she didn't mind at all learning his special needs and even walked him using his special pattern :-) I will absolutely use Jordan again for my overnight or really any other dog needs.

Jordan was an trustworthy, competent pet sitter who I would use in a snap, again. I was able to go away for 3 weeks feeling that I could relax and not worry as she took amazing care of our elderly dog Layla. Layla had a medical issue in which Jordan took her to the vet and resolved the issue. I trust her like family.
She communicated frequently, sending pictures and notes and would respond to my texts within hours. I highly recommend her to care for your dog. Thanks again Jordan : )

Taylor was great. We have two dogs, one a large 11 month old that can be a handful, and she was wonderful with them, She even cleaned the place up as well as the dogs after they came back from a run in the woods! Will definitely use Taylor again in the future.

Taylor is your perfect dog sitter. She stayed in our home several nights and took great care of our yellow Labrador retriever- even sending several pictures of him throughout her stay. I definitely recommend Taylor and will plan on using her in the future.

Taylor was amazing. She took really good care of my boys. Sent pictures daily. Will use her again.
I had to leave my dog with Taylor over the weekend after she had recently had a large surgery. Unfortunately, during that time Nova developed an infection in one of her incisions and became very anxious as she was in alot of pain. Taylor was amazing with her. She let me know immediately when something was wrong. She called the vet to see if there was anything she could do. She even stayed up all night with Nova to try to comfort her until I could get home to bring her to the vet. Taylor kept in contact with me even after she went home to see how Nova was doing. I couldn't ask for a more caring or responsible person to take care of my dog for me while I was away. I will absolutely request Taylor again for future trips, hopefully under better circumstances!

Taylor was great! She stayed with our pup in our home while we were out of the country for our wedding. We received regular updates and had a stress-free trip thanks to Taylor. She kept the house neat and tidy and gave the pup tons of love and attention. Can't thank her enough!

Taylor W. stayed with our 2 large dogs and cat for a weekend. She came to meet them and us earlier in the week, making us feel comfortable. While she was at our home, she texted us updates and sent photos of the dogs, which we were happy to get. When we arrived home, all 3 animals were vying for her attention and clearly happy with their new friend. Taylor is a bright, sweet and responsible caretaker. We have already recommended her to someone else and we will surely use her again.

Taylor did a great job watching our dog and cat while we were away. She came out to our house for a meet and greet prior to our weekend away. I really appreciated her texts and pictures while we were away. Thanks so much! :)
I've used Taylor several times and will keep going back. It's so nice to go away and not worry, and my pup loves her!!
