Happy Alyssa got to take care of my smart and active cat Freddie <3 When it came to cat care, Alyssa was so great. Our initial communication started out a little bit chaotic, as Alyssa wasn't sure if she could make it, but everything smoothed out after that! The communication for the rest of the sit was really good: I got daily Freddie updates and also just some super pleasant conversation. Alyssa is very easy to get along with, open minded and positive. She wasn't afraid to ask for clarifications about Freddie's routine or about the house, but she was also handling things great on her own. My cat Freddie is young, smart and active, so he needs someone who can deal with his shenanigans and curiosity. Alyssa did just that :) When I came back, I could tell Freddie had been happy and loved! Alyssa also struck me as a very thoughtful and grateful person with a good heart and that's definitely the kind of person I want to take care of my house and pet.

Mary might have a missed calling as a pet photographer, and I greatly appreciate how she keeps in touch and sends photos at each visit. It's hard to trust someone with my fur baby, and Mary has been superb to work with while I'm away from home. Trustworthy, communicative, reliable. I can't recommend Mary and Purr-ky Petsitting enough. 12/10 service.
We are repeat customers of Mary because she is simply amazing. She is extremely attentive and responsible, and truly cares for the pets she looks after. She sends you detailed daily updates with tons of pictures, and follows any special instructions you may have for the care of your furballs. She even watered my plants when I asked her for that favor! Simply put, she’s the best cat sitter we could have asked for.
Mary is absolutely amazing! She made the whole process so easy. Her communication is top tier, and I felt comfortable the whole time away on vacation while she was checking on my cat. She texts pictures everyday from when she visited! Mary will do your entire routine schedule with your cat (feeding, brushing, playing, litter box etc). I will be using her cat sitting services again in the future!
I recently moved to Pittsburgh, and hired Mary to check in on my cats while away on a trip. She was a pleasure to meet with beforehand and I felt absolutely sure that my kitties would be in good hands. During my time away, Mary was 100% reliable, sent notes and photos, and she took care of every detail I'd requested. Highly recommend!
Mary recently cared for our cats Boris and Mango for a week and she did an outstanding job in all aspects! We are so glad to have found someone like Mary, because it truly felt like a trusted family member was watching our home and our cats. We found Mary's services online, and we were impressed with the exceptional reviews she has gotten over the years. We arranged to meet Mary and we were quickly put at ease as we developed a great sense of trust. Mary is very professional, articulate, and she asked all of the right questions in determining a plan for caring for our cats. All email, text and phone communications were a breeze, as Mary is very timely and thoughtful with her responses. Our cats really warmed up to Mary, and it was apparent she built a special bond with them. Each day she provided numerous pictures of them as they lounged happily in all of their favorite spots around the house. We really appreciated that peace of mind while we were gone, and her detailed updates and pictures really put us at ease. She was very affectionate toward our cats and mentioned that they enjoyed receiving brushing, petting, etc. Mary also carefully followed all of the detailed instructions we provided for their feeding routines and everything else. It was such a relief to find someone trustworthy to care for our cats just like we would. We will definitely be regular customers for years to come!
Mary is the best! Every day she sent me multiple pictures of my cat and updated me on her, answered texts quickly, and was flexible when my travel plans changed. My pet requires medication every 12 hours, and Mary worked around my cat's schedule and assured me she had tons of experience administering medication. I felt super comfortable leaving my pet with her and will definitely have her watch my pet again!
Mary is fantastic! She took such great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for a week and a half. Mary came out for an initial consultation to meet the cats and get to know their needs and personalities. She really takes the time to get to know your pets, their routines, needs, and favorite things. She was so easy to talk to and eased a lot of my worries about being away for so long and so far away. Her prices were very fair and included all of the services I was hoping for: daily visits, feeding, play time, litter box cleaning, updates with photos. She sent daily updates with adorable pictures and took time to play with my youngest cat, and was so patient with my older cat whom is a bit more shy and guarded with strangers. She kept the litter boxes so clean and kept me up to date on how my cats were eating. She was also so sweet and brought in our mail while we were gone! I can’t thank Mary enough for taking such good care of our girls. She is great and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter.
Mary was INCREDIBLE and i will continue to be using her service. My first time going out of town since I got my cat, was a bit nerve wracking for me. With her communication and all the pictures she sent, I knew there was nothing to worry about. She was on time, communicative, and extremely professional. I have to emphasize as well my cat is extremely shy and does not take to people easily!! She was comfortable with mary upon the first meet which rarely happens.
Mary was a wonderful sitter for my cats! She is very kind and caring and sent so many good pictures of them while I was gone. I wasn’t worried at all knowing they were in her care! The whole process was extremely smooth and easy as well. I would highly recommend!
Mary was absolutely amazing. She made sure our two cats were taken care of each day while we were on vacation. She sent photos of them every day with updates on how they were eating and doing. We had a lot of anxiety leaving for our trip since we hadn’t left them in a few years and we don’t have kids so they are our everything. They were hesitant at first but by the end of the week they warmed up to her. We felt completely comfortable leaving them with her and we will now feel even more comfortable taking future trips.
Really wonderful service! Our dogs are very dog-selective and don't do well with traditional boarding services, so we were looking for an alternative during a weekend trip. Pied Piper Pet Sitters was perfect - our animals were able to be in a place that they were familiar with and stick to their regular routine. We got text updates and pictures with each visit, and everything was very reasonably priced. So pleased with this decision, and will definitely be coming back in the future!
Our family loves Pied Piper Pet Sitters. Laura provides updates with photos daily and they're always very enjoyable. I can attest our pets are always safe and well cared for when they're under Pied Piper Pet Sitter's care.
Laura is the most kind, gentle, loving human who truly cares about the animals in her care. Our two cats are our entire world and we wouldn't leave them in just anyone's hands for a week while on vacation. Upon meeting Laura, we were blown away by her knowledge and attention to detail. She took notes during her visit and made us truly feel like our girls were in the best of care. While we were away, she sent us pictures and updates daily which always put a smile on our face! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Laura was watching the girls. We can't wait to use her services again on our next trip! We are customers for life!
Laura is great at taking care of my puppy. Always very flexible with our time request even if it varies all the time. Our puppy loves playing with her each time they go for a walk. Definitely recommend her
Laura sends a map and photos of our dog's walk. Very nice pics and good communication.
This place is the best. The staff is so great there too. You can use their app to watch your pup on video at any time. My baby was so tired when she got home, which isn't a bad thing. She was enriched all day, and it gave me a nice piece of mind knowing she was having fun. Highly recommend.
We cannot say enough about Camp Bow Wow, the team are amazing and so very kind to our pup and to us. The pictures we get from his enrichment sessions are the cutest ever.
I take King here whenever he is not able to travel with us. The employees are always accommodating to his needs. I love that they have cameras on the dogs, so I can see my pup whenever I miss him.
Absolutely love this place and the folks that work there! They knew my dog’s name before they knew mine; also he obviously has his own greetings with individual “camp counselors”. The two photos give you an idea of my dog’s experience at Camp Bow Wow North: the passed out pooch is after his first day at Camp (and pretty much after any day there); the other was taken by one of the trainers of the other resident with my dog after a private training session while he was an overnight camper when I needed to travel for a week.
Wether I am dropping off our dear miniature labradoodle for a play date or to be groomed, it is always a great experience. Everyone is kind and professional and most importantly our Lilo loves to attend Camp Bow. She is groomed their regularly and is always perfectly groomed.
UPDATE: 4 hours after I wrote this, my pup has been way more lethargic than I’ve ever seen her (we hike/exercise often), had watery stools, and her nose is SUPER dry. So, signs of dehydration. FOR SPENDING ONLY THREE HOURS THERE. Knocked my review down to 1 star. It was 93 degrees today, not okay to deprive a PUPPY of water for so long. I’m livid, disgusted, and will tell every dog owner I know to never bring their dog here. Update 2: …and she developed a cough 3 days later. 3 hours cost me $160 and a lot of stress this week. Honestly pretty crazy to me that people happily leave their dogs here. We just had an interview day for my 5 month old puppy and I rushed to pick her up after about 3 hours, and she will not be going back. The facility was loud, overcrowded, very smelly, and I hate that it's located right between a few busy/dangerous roads. The cameras and live feed barely work (the desktop version loses signal every few seconds and the mobile app works maybe 50% of the time). But, from what I could see - they don't separate dogs by size/age the way they advertise (the small/teacup and large dogs all mixed together at different points). My biggest concern was that there was almost NO water available for any of the dogs (my pup was panting from 30 mins in until I could get her back into my own house 2.5 hours later to get her some water). I'm guessing they try not to give the dogs too much water to avoid accidents or something, but that's absolutely not okay. Also in watching the cameras - the dogs were often left without supervision in the room and I saw dogs getting humped, aggressive dogs bothering/scaring more shy dogs, etc.. Overall, absolutely zero chance I'd ever leave my dog here for any extended period of time. Cannot believe this is one of my "best" options in the area.
I have a high energy pup that needs more engagement that I can give. He LOVES camp days and is exhausted when he comes home. Win for both of us. I don't make a habit of checking the cameras however, when I have, the counselors are always engaging the dogs.
I've used Camp Bow Wow North Hills for several years, and have always been pleased with the care and service they provide for my fur babies. Their staff is very knowledgeable and caring. My dogs love going there for daycare, and I have no worries when I need to board them for extended periods of time. If you are looking for a good group of people to take care of your dog, give them a try!
These people treat your pup like thier own! My Goldendoodle loves coming to play and they do the cutest enrichment activities like painting with your pup, holiday pictures, sniff and seek and extra snuggle time! 💕 I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Pittsburgh North! Also the grooming is top notch as well! …
I’ve been taking my dog here for almost two years and couldn’t be happier with the service and all the people that work there!! They do a great job getting to know your dog and make sure they all have a safe and fun day!! If your like me and feel guilty leaving your pup home alone for 8 hours or just need to tire them out then I recommend this camp!!
We love Captain Flosse Dog’s Pet Services & highly recommend them to everyone we know! We’ve had an amazing experience with all of the gals that have come to care for our Bulldogs. The communication has always been excellent & timely. They have been very accommodating for any last minute changes especially with our sweet boy Fred who has epilepsy & frequent seizure episodes. They are ready to give him his meds. If ever necessary & that gives us peace of mind while we aren’t home with him! The boys are so excited on days they have their friends from Captain Flosse’s over to play & go on walks. After the visit they always send us a report card to notify us of which dog did what & share a nice visit summary including many photos which always brightens my day when I’m working! Thank you for taking care of our Bulls they adore you all!
I love this crew so much! They are extremely reliable and you can tell they genuinely love your pets and they take such good care of my 2 cats and large breed dog 💗 they have so many options of services available to a help you with what you need. They love on my furkids and play with them as well as walk and feed them. So comforting to know my furkids are well taken care of 💗💗💗
Captain Flosse came highly recommended to me by a friend, and I am so grateful that they did. I hired them for three overnight stays and visits throughout the day. My dogs were very well cared for, as was my home, and I even got some of the cutest pictures ever of them playing in the yard. I will ALWAYS call Captain Flosse for each of my trips away.
Captain Flosse provides exceptional service. I have 4 cats, one of them is very nervous. Laura, the founder was very patient with him. She kept in constant contact with me, easing all worries about being away. The detailed reports and photos of every visit was very much appreciated. The plants liked her too!
I contacted many local pet care services before finding this business. First, I couldn't get any of them to visit my neighborhood. Also, I wanted to avoid hiring someone through sites like Rover, just a personal preference. Luckily, I found the absolute best when Captain Flosse was recommended to me. Truly the best! Professional, trustworthy, and caring! Suzi and Laura visit with my 15+yrs senior dog twice weekly. My girl has some minor behavioral issues and age related health issues. They work very well with her and these limitations she has. They genuinely care for her. They send a very detailed report and pictures after each visit. Everything is done through the app, including scheduling and payment. Very convenient! I've had to add last minute visits on days they don't normally come, they were super accommodating. No issues! Highly recommend!
A really great and trustworthy crew! They take care of your furry family member and constantly communicate with notes and pictures. Highly recommend.
Captain Flosse's came recommended from someone in my community when I needed to return to the office and they have just been a blessing! I use them three days per week to get my two pups out on a walk while I'm at work. My dogs have grown to adore their walkers and I never have to worry if they will have a good day. I love getting my update via their app telling me how their walk and visit went. I can't recommend Captain Flosse's enough! We love them!
I highly recommend utilizing Captain Flosse Dog's Pet Service for any and all your pet care needs! Thankfully we can leave our pets at home knowing that they will be well cared for while we are away. Our cat is diabetic and requires medication. It is less stressful on him to stay at home and be able to receive his medication as required. You can be well assured your pet(s) will be treated with such wonderful care. They have a great app and provide a thorough report after each visit with your pet(s) including photos. The team of Captain Flosse Dog's Pet Service is amazing!!😍
We had the team dog sit our 3 dogs for 5 days, 2 times a day. We loved all the pictures and updates and never had to worry about our fur babies. The ladies were great with them! We highly recommend them and will be using them for now on in the future!
I can’t say enough good things about Captain Flosse! We engaged them to walk our Boxer for two weeks while we were in Italy. Everyday I received an update with details of the walk, lovely anecdotes about the experience and lots of great pictures. Our son stayed at home with her but due to his work schedule he was unable to walk her every morning. I never once worried about her being bored! And we were delayed one day getting back and they were able to add another walk that morning. I highly recommend them, they are professional, caring, dependable, and responsive. I think my dog might not have missed us too much! Many thanks to Laura and her great team!
