Texting is best — Luke's usually out on a walk.

What Luke does

Dogs, cats, and the occasional very opinionated bird.

  • Dog Walking

    A real walk — sniffs included. Rain or shine, on time, every time.

  • Drop-In Visits

    Food, water, litter, meds, and some quality floor-level company.

  • Overnight Sitting

    Luke stays at your place so your pets keep their own bed and routine.

  • Boarding

    Your dog stays with Luke's family — big fenced yard, and Luna to play with.

  • Doggy Day Care

    Drop off in the morning. Collect one thoroughly tired dog.

Why folks stick around

  • Photos, every time — You'll know how it went before you've even asked.

  • Actually on time — Same time, every day. Pets like that. So do you.

  • Good with the tricky ones — Meds for elderly cats. Patience for nervous rescues. No extra charge for either.

  • He leaves it tidy — Dishes washed, litter done, mail brought in.

Hi, I'm Luke

I'm a Pittsburgh guy who figured out early that the best part of any day is the part with a dog in it. Three years and a lot of leashes later, that's still true.

When your pets stay with me, they're part of the family — mine helps out, and my dog Luna is a very enthusiastic host. We've got a big fenced yard, and it gets used.

Whether it's a quick walk or a long weekend, I'll treat your animals like my own and keep you posted the whole way through.

Don't take my word for it

A few kind words from the neighborhood.

  • “Lucas was a great help last minute and made sure to find Smokey, who was hiding under a bed. Lucas did not include any written description of the visit but was forthcoming when I requested some additional details.”

    Ngani N.drop-in visits
  • “Lucas and family did a great job carrying for our little fur baby. He sent pictures and kept us updated on our dogs stay. They did everything to accommodate our dog. We will definitely book with Lucas in the future!!!”

    Lisa G.boarding
  • “Lucas did a great job taking care of our cats for the weekend. Litter boxes were cleaned and cats were fed. He even brought our mail in for us! Thank you Lucas!!”

    Casey M.drop-in visits
  • “Great service. Handled our big boy super well with no issues.”

    Alexander C.drop-in visits
  • “Lucas was excellent with all of our animals! Not only did he care for everyone expertly but he left the sink and pet dishes clean and orderly (not expected but very much appreciated!). He also handled medication for our elderly cat, which is a sigh of relief for when we go on weekend adventures and short trips (something we used to not be able to do before finding helpers such as Lucas :) ).”

    Laila M.drop-in visits
  • “Lucas was super responsive and able to fulfill a very last minute house sitting request. The animals were in good hands and we're grateful.”

    Steven C.house sitting
  • “Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”

    Tori P.boarding
  • “Great experience! Our dogs were well taking care of and we would definitely hire Lucas again 😊”

    Kayla R.house sitting
  • “Lucas was very responsive and communicative. My cat Mr. Plow had a great time with him. Would definitely recommend!”

    Matthew O.drop-in visits
  • “Lucas took wonderful care of our cat! Lucas sent updates to let us know how our cat was doing. It was our cat's first time away from us, and he was so well cared for — we couldn't be more appreciative! Our pet looks forward to returning :)”

    Patrick M.boarding
  • “Lucas, his dog Luna, and their whole family are wonderful! This was Walter's first experience and he had an amazing time! His seven month old self has never been so tired!!”

    Megan B.doggy day care
  • “Great job watching our two dogs on very short notice, it is much appreciated.”

    Ken P.boarding
  • “Lucas did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We'd definitely trust him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter”

    Ken P.boarding
  • “Lucas took great care of my two elderly cats. When we got back from our week away they were healthy and happy. Lucas even noticed that Cindy was scratching our couch and covered it with a blanket.”

    Leah F.drop-in visits
  • “Great walker! Very attentive, always on time, our dog was very happy.”

    Jaclyn S.dog walking
  • “Lucas and his family are super friendly! Nova was exhausted from her day of fun. They have a huge backyard that is fenced, allowing her to run around safely. Definitely would recommend Lucas for daycare :)”

    Nahema S.doggy day care
  • “Great job, Lucas. Thanks!”

    David M.dog walking
  • “Lucas became my dog's best friend. He was reliable, consistent, calm, kind, and caring. For a nervous former street dog, he was perfect. I cannot recommend Lucas enough. We are moving and will miss his daily walks. Cannot recommend Lucas highly enough.”

    Holly J.dog walking
  • “Lucas was awesome. He came everyday around the same time. My cats seemed to like him because the one who usually runs and hides was laying out in the open in the pictures. […] I'll definitely be calling him for my next trip.”

    Rob S.drop-in visits
  • “Luke is awesome. He shows up on time.... And he's always mindful of my babies when walking them. He is quick to tell me how they did. And anything special that I need to know. Luke is exceptional, and I would highly recommend him.!!!”
