1. Rachel V.
“Rachel was an exceptional sitter for our family. She gave us great comfort while we were away over a holiday weekend and our dog was spoiled by her presence and care. She was communicative and responsive and took care of our home while we were away as well. Could not recommend more highly and hope to be able to use her services again!”
2. Alyvia P.
“Alyvia was a pet sitter for four dogs when an acute medical event happened to my good friend. Alyvia was loving and responsible to all four dogs. She gave us and our friend peace of mind so we could concentrate on helping my friend. The dogs were happy and content being able to stay in their own home. Alyvia kept the household routine in good order. She communicated professionally and promptly with us. She is friendly and flexible. We needed to add a few more days' coverage, which Alyvia was able to cover. I recommend Alyvia for your pet care needs. She is hard working, honest, and responsible. I had lots of interaction with Alyvia while she was caring for my friend's dogs. I would not hesitate to hire her.”
3. Leslie S.
“Leslie was so great with our pups! Very attentive and watching an Australian Cattle dog mix and mini Dachshund is not for amateurs 🤣 highly recommend!”

“Liv is truly saving me with my recent travel schedule and her services are always absolutely perfect!! I feel so fortunate to have found her!”
5. Emily C.
“Emily is the Best! She took amazing care of my dog and kept us up to date each day of our vacation. I’d highly recommend Emily and will trust her with my dog whenever we go away.”
6. Whitney M.
“Whitney stayed with our Great Dane for a second time and was amazing! We got a video each day along with photos. She also took care of my kid’s reptiles. She is super responsive and kind. I’ll continue to use her when we go away! The best :)”
7. Emily C.
“Emily was great! Very communicative and transparent. We will definitely consider Emily again for future bookings.”
8. Amanda K.
“I'm glad we choose Amanda because I didn't need to worry while I was out of town. She had good communication, sent me pictures of my happy dog, and was reliable.”
9. Alexus H.
“Alexus has been so helpful with drop-ins and dogsitting for our pup, Zelda, this summer! She is reliable, communicative, and Zelda loves her! Alexus doesn't mind helping with some of Zelda's special needs, and she sends lots of updates and pictures from her visits. We will definitely book her again!”
10. Frank G.
“Frank is the best! I reached out to him on short notice and he fully delivered. I was out of state for two days and didn’t worry one bit that my dogs were in great hands. He was timely, communicative, kind, and responsible. I will certainly be using Franks services again! 10/10 recommend. Thanks again!”
11. Moira M.
“She is so amazing with my dogs. Always punctual and reliable. I have always been able to depend on her, and my dogs lover her.”
12. Raeanne M.
“Raeanne did a great job. At first, I was hesitant about using someone I didn't know, but I am glad we had Rae stay with our dogs. They were happy and calm when we returned home. We weren't sure how our 4 dogs would react because they had never stayed home with anybody else. The only other person who cared for them was a close friend and they stayed at her house. But, we could tell they were well cared for while we were gone. The house was in good shape as well. We will definitely ask Rae again.”
13. Megan T.
“Megan is a wonderful, responsible, caring person, with a deep love for all animals. Whether it’s playing out in the yard with them , going for walks, or just relaxing with them by her side, she truly loves them all as if they were her own. She’s adopted many dogs herself over the years including some seniors that she has enjoyed providing the best golden years to! One of her favorite things is to see a dog “living it’s best life”.”
14. Tara F.
“Tara provided great cat, plant, and house care. She did what I asked, and I returned to a happy, calm cat and a house that looked like I'd been gone for 4 hours rather than 4 days. Recommended. 👍👍”
15. Marlee J.
“Marlee always goes above and beyond for any type of pet she is responsible to care for. Whether it's timely feedings, trips outside or to even just play with or entertain your pet. They will always be in good hands when she's around!”
16. Tanner Z.
“Tanner came to my house a few months ago while I was on vacation, all I asked was that he feed my dogs and fill their water bowls, he exceeded my expectations, with taking them on walks, taking them to the park to play, and making sure that the yard was picked up after they did their business. I was so impressed by his effort and his willingness to do more than asked. I would recommend Tanner to anyone seeking a dog sitter. ”
17. Sydney K.
About: I've walked dogs, as well as watched them while the owners were away since I was little. I don't currently own any larger animals, but I have always handled them. Any dog wouldn't be an issue I currently could fill pretty much any need! I have a few hours of every day that I am busy, but I can be available pretty much anytime! I have an unfenced in yard that I would keep the dog leashed within, but I also know many of the dog friendly hiking trails within the Altoona area. I would be will to do whatever your most comfortable with!
18. Alexa W.
“She is the best dog caregiver that I’ve ever dealt with. She was so loving and caring of the dogs and truly showed how much she cared for them. She makes your dog feel at home and keeps you updated with so many cute pictures that just show how much of a loving environment your dog is in. She goes above and beyond do whatever your dog needs done, she returned my dog back to me freshly washed and happy. I promise that Alexa will take better care of your dog than anyone else could! 10/10”
19. Allison B.
About: I have 10 years experience with every type of animal from puppies, cats to horses reptiles and birds. I also have experience with dog training. I currently work full time but my job is very flexible with breaks, so your furry friend will get all of the attention that they require! I believe in utilizing all of the space available to provide the most optimal experience for the pet and for the family returning back home
20. Tabatha T.
“I have had Tabbie watch my 3 dogs many times, she always does a great job. She’s very responsible and sends me pictures and updates (which I love). I feel safe leaving my pups under her supervision and would 10/10 recommend her for all your pet care needs!”
