Top rated Altoona pet sitters
“Our pets were so well taken care of. We received feedback of each visit, their demeanor toward their new “person” and we even received information about the property after some inclement weather came through the area in our absence. We felt as if family was caring for our furry friends. We highly recommend Elizabeth D. to care for your pets. You would really be missing out if you went elsewhere.”
“Ashlyn was absolutely wonderful with Bowie! She was so sweet to him when he was scared of all the thunderstorms and was able to easily remove a tick from his eye (which could be scary with a dog with such a big head!). I felt relaxed and comfortable all week knowing he was in great hands!”
“Dustin and his spouse are absolutely amazing and treat our two senior fur babies with so much love. They work as a team and offer a variety of services which is extremely helpful in this area.”
“I appreciated how good a communicator Alexis was! She was always quick to respond to messages, and she would always update me about my cat. She did a great job taking care of my cat, and he seemed to really like her as well! Definitely will be contacting her again next time I go out of town!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was 10 years old. I have experience with a dozen different dogs who have their own background and needs. I have fostered puppies. I take care of my dogs every day. I like to take them on walks, and especially cuddle them. I love playing games with them, like throwing a toy.

About: I’m an animal lover and enthusiast who has grown up taking care of all types of pets and worked in the veterinary medicine industry since I was 17 years old. I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds, and because of my job I am comfortable administering medication of all types, including injections.

I hope you consider me to take care of and love your fur babies❤️ I currently work part time at a vet clinic and my Classes are usually done by early afternoon so I will have more than enough time to take care of your fur babies as needed. With my working background I am comfortable with any food restrictions, medications, walking, crating, and care your pet may need to be happy and comfortable. I will make sure to give meds, food, and specific care instructions extra attention as needed.

Alyssa has worked with an animal rescue and several vet clinics for many years, which makes her extremely cool, calm, and capable of handling many different types of situations that may arise when caring for pets, including acute medical emergencies and geriatric animals. She is not afraid of a challenge in the field of animal care and is very attuned to the animals' comfort level and happiness.
