Pet Sitting in Altoona

About: I've taken care of pets since I was about 10, from farm dogs to show horses and almost anything in between. Currently I have bearded dragons, sugar gliders, dogs, cats, a rat and a tortoise. I don't shy from much haha I have a very flexible schedule so my day depends on what I want to accomplish. At home, the dogs have me up by 6:30 for breakfast, so mornings aren't an issue When I sit your pet for you, it's like you never left. Your rules, your routine. Tell me how you would like it done, and it will be!

“They did an AMAZING job with our trio of kitties. They even got our grumpy old cat who doesn’t trust anyone to come around :) I would totally recommend them to anyone. They took care of our kitties as if they were their own and were great about communication and keeping an eye on everything.”

“Farren and Kelley were great! They were able to watch my dogs last minute and had great communication. I would recommend them and would book again.”

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

“Kayla is just the sweetest! My family and I moved here from Baton Rouge, LA only three days before needing an unexpected sitter for our sweet, elder beagle Otis. Kayla came to our home for our in-person meeting and we (& Otis) felt comfortable immediately. She cared for Otis 3 days in a row, and left us detailed notes and the cutest photos/videos every time. We will definitely schedule her again!”

Ashleigh K.

“Extremely caring and considerate to the fur babies, she treats them like they’re her own. I felt very confident and relieved that my kitty had Carli to rely on while I was away, I could relax knowing that she’d be well taken care of. Thank you Carli!!”

About: I have lots of experience caring for neighbors and friends pets - dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to care for animals in their owners home, however my availability right now is completely open! I recently graduated from nursing school and am awaiting my boards exam, and am looking for some opportunities for cash in the meantime! I worked at a veterinary hospital for eight months during my time in nursing school, and absolutely love animals of all kinds. It fits perfectly for me at the moment, as I am mostly spending my time right now studying for my boards exam. I do prefer to care for pets in their owners home, but I do have full availability, at least for the next few months! I have a cat who suffers from stomach issues and is on a special prescription diet with supplements. At my apartment complex there is a dog park, and plenty of space to walk dogs. I am free to stay in an owners home to care for their pets and walk them as many times as needed. I am also very good with communication!

About: I am a loving mom to four of my own fur babies of various ages and breeds. I take pride in making sure they are happy and healthy. I work part-time and love spending time at home playing and cuddling with my fur babies. I have had the pleasure of taking care of several of my friends babies and would love to be there for you too. I spend lots of time exercising and socializing my babies. Lots of walks, trips to the dog park and enrichment toys. If they're happy, I'm happy 😊

About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a dedicated pet lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Friends and family have trusted me for years to pet sit, whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving their pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm a proud dog mom to 3 girls, a 12 year old lab mix, a 4 year old yellow lab and a 3 year old lab/gsp, so I'm very comfortable with large, strong, and high-energy dogs. I understand their need for structure, exercise, and mental stimulation —and I'm always happy to keep up! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and know how important it is to be patient, consistent, and attentive to their unique personalities. My experience doesn't stop with dogs and cats-l've also cared for a bearded dragon and am confident in caring for yours whether it is a turtle/tortoise, fish or bearded dragon. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule on the weekends and plenty of availability to give your pet the time and attention they need. I also have a reliable vehicle, so I'm dependable and able to accommodate your needs. When your pet is with me, they'll be treated like family. I'll follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, and your pet will get lots of love, playtime, and attention. I also make sure to keep you updated so you always feel connected while you are away. I work full time with weekends off, with my own adventures, I know how important it is to have someone to be able to check in on your pets. I want to be able to provide that for others. I will keep as close to their routine as possible. If I need to take them on a walk to potty or let them roam their own yard, I will do.

“Hollie is an amazing sitter communicates super well keeps you updated and loves all dogs especially big intimidating ones! I will definitely be using her again for my dog sitting love her !!!”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets who may need a gentler approach and puppies who are still learning routines. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet gets personalized care, from playtime and walks to feeding, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I’m flexible and make sure to plan my days around the pets I care for, whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or evening feedings. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. Consistency and reliability are important to me, so you can always count on me to show up and give your pets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets, safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions to ensure they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their guidelines closely, maintaining their pet’s normal routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, keep harmful items out of reach, and pay attention to each pet’s body language to make sure they’re comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they know their pets are safe and well cared for at all times.

About: My Pet Care Experience I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family raised a high energy Jack Russell Terrier, which taught me a lot about patience, smart play styles, and managing bold personalities. Today, my fiancé and I share our home with a happy Golden Retriever/Labrador mix and a 2 month old kitten. Caring for them daily keeps me sharp on big-dog stamina, training reinforcement, and the delicate routine needed for a growing kitten. What Sets Me Apart Multi-Breed Comfort: I am equally comfortable with small, fast-paced terriers and large, strong retrievers. Puppy & Kitten Experience: Raising a 2 month old kitten means I am used to active supervision, tracking strict feeding schedules, and managing young pet energy. Owner Peace of Mind: Because I am a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind. I focus on clear communication and sending frequent photo updates so you know they are safe and happy. My Availability & Schedule I offer flexible daytime and evening care tailored around my weekly class and work schedule. I am strictly available for Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits during the following times: Sunday & Monday: Fully available all day and evening. Tuesday: Available for morning and afternoon visits. Wednesday: Fully available all day and evening. Thursday: Available for afternoon and evening care. And weekends if needed. Because I prioritize the safety and comfort of my own pets at home, I do not offer overnight house sitting or boarding services. This allows me to dedicate 100% of my energy to focused, high-quality walks and quick drop-in care for your fur babies! My Approach to Client-Home Care & Safety Because I strictly offer Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits, my priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable right in their own familiar environment while respecting your home. For Drop-In Visits (Dogs & Cats): Arrival & Security: I enter your home carefully to ensure pets don't slip out the door. I strictly follow your entry, alarm, and lock-up instructions. Routine & Care: I stick closely to your specific feeding, fresh water, and medication schedules. For cats, I handle litter box scooping and clean up any messes. Attention & Play: I dedicate my full visit to keeping your pets company, offering plenty of focused playtime, scratches, and mental stimulation. For Dog Walking:Safety First: I always check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before stepping outside. I keep dogs on a secure, short leash and avoid interactions with unknown dogs on the street. Weather & Hydration: Living in Florida, I make sure the pavement isn't too hot for their paws, keep walks a comfortable pace, and ensure they have plenty of fresh water immediately when we get back. I always wrap up every single visit by ensuring your home is perfectly locked up and sending you a quick summary with cute photo updates!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering medications, and providing lots of love and attention, I treat every dog like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. With my open summer schedule, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m available throughout the day to give your dog the attention and care they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly enjoy spending my free time with furry friends! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease, just like part of the family. I follow feeding routines, provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, and lots of playtime and affection. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s familiar environment and stick closely to your routines and instructions. I make sure they feel secure, entertained, and loved while you’re away, keeping stress to a minimum. Cleanliness, communication, and care are always top priorities.
