Pet Sitting in Altoona

“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.”

“Kacey was a very excellent caregiver to Sophie, as usual! I was able to have so much fun on my vacation knowing Sophie was being well taken care of back home. Sophie appreciated all the pets and treats!!! We will be booking with Kacey again 😊”

About: I have been around cats, dogs, reptiles and small animals since I was a child. I have experience with all different breeds of dogs (and cats) and would love to be able to care for your fur baby next! I have been working full time in the pet care industry for almost 5 years now caring for 25+ cats and dogs at any given time. My love and care for animals is unmatched. I am able to work with any dog on basic training, specific commands if interested, and am very well versed in dispensing medications and providing care for senior pets. 🐾 I’m currently working part time, so I have all the time in the world to play with your pup! I am available most nights and have a lot of daily availability as well! Reach out and I’ll be happy to help you. I will care for your pets how you would, with a little extra lovings from their new friend🙂 You tell me what you would like to happen with your dog/cat or what you need and I will do my absolute best to accommodate your needs and your pets needs.

“Tanya was absolutely amazing with our babies!! I always feel very nervous leaving my babies at home and she made me feel at ease. The dogs and the cats loved her!!”

About: I’ve taken cared of my neighbors , family , and friends pets. I love animals of any kind. I will gladly take care of them with what you want. Give me instructions and I’ll do it. I’m willing to do evening walks after 5:30pm on weekdays if anyone needs I know it’s not set on my calendar. I also love photography so if you’re wanting me to take a couple of pictures for you, I sure can do that. I need to practice so the photos would be free of charge :) I currently work at Merritt Animal Clinic in Eustis from 8 am to 5pm on weekdays except Thursdays and weekends. I can do walks after 5:30 on weekdays but anytime on Thursdays and weekends if I’m not too busy. I will be happy working with your fur babies 😁 I have a male dog. I cuddle with Toby everyday. My yard is fenced and they are watched 24/7. I will wrestle and play with dogs bigger than me as if I’m a dog. Cats are amazing to lay with as well. I only now have a Chihuahua and he’s very needy so any needy animal won’t be a problem for me at all. I love you snuggle up and play with the pets.

About: I’ve been walking dogs for a while, and I really enjoy spending time with them. I’m good at handling different kinds of dogs, whether they’re super energetic or more relaxed. I always make sure they get a safe and fun walk, and I pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m responsible, I show up on time, and I treat every dog like they’re my own pet. I’m available every day and pretty much all the time. I can walk dogs in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings, and I’m flexible if you need last-minute help. Just message me, and I can fit your dog into my schedule whenever you need. I always keep dogs safe by paying attention and walking in good areas. I’m responsible and make sure each dog is treated with care. I want owners to feel like they can trust me with their pets.

About: I have watched my cousins dogs and my friend‘s dogs and I love them all! I especially love playing with them and taking them on walks! I am a college student living in Lakeland during the weekdays and I come home on the weekends. I do not do anything on the weekends other than go to church. I would love to take care of your pet! I let the pets roam around in the house except for certain rooms that have anything that could harm the pet and I always have my eye on them to make sure they aren’t getting into trouble! :)

“Leslie took great care of our two cats while we were out of town. She provided little updates every day and was so helpful! I would definitely hire her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Hannah! With over three years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, I provide dependable and loving care. Whether it’s walks, meals, medications, or cuddle time, I make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability during the day and evening. I’m free most weekdays between 8 AM–2 PM and 6 PM–10 PM, and I’m always happy to adjust when possible to fit your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instruction; whether that means leash walks, play in a fenced yard, or keeping pets in approved areas of your home, so they feel secure and cared for.

“Second time we used Candace to watch our cat Kiwi. She is the best! Very friendly, on time and Kiwi loves her! Will hire her every time we go away.”

“I had an emergency hospitalization and contacted Rover. Jennifer did a great job watching my female Whippet Cinnamon 2 days in a row, playing with her, walking her, feeding her, taking her to the dog park. She took videos & pics. She did everything I asked.”

Michael V.

“We were honestly hesitant to leave our furrbabies with a stranger. However, Nicole B. made this process easy, comforting and safe. I have used many online services, but she assured us about being a caring person--whether daily calls / texts, her profile with picture and consistent communication. Nothing against boarding, but the comfort of my home is unmatching. Our initial contact / interview, her profile and her experience, doesn't give her justice. She exemplified a truly, great caregiver and assured us by answering our random questions. We instantly had chemistry in our first contact, which helped in the process. Also, she thoroughly followed our instructions without hesitation. I know this is a competitive field, but highly recommend her and hope each person books her for her services. 5+ stars for a ROCKSTAR sitter. All of us look forward to seeing her again, including our furrbabies!!”

About: Hi i'm Mikela & i've been around animals for 28 years, I really enjoy caring for animals i feel like i've done it my whole life. growing up i had a mini doberman, husky, terrier, pitbull, Alaska malamute, and a few others. Stay at home mom, i have three children’s little boy & two in school, school times ( M, F 8-3 & 9-4) (W 8-2 & 9-3) ( T & T from 8am-4:30pm) Im always around town or just simply at home. If I do go away for long periods of time I tend to block out those days. My yard does have a privacy fence, play time all the time, my children will help with your fur babies as a learning opportunity, they will learn what it takes to tend and care for animals & learn the responsibility, I of course will be teaching them the do & don'ts. I always supervise and help. they will also get portions of the money for helping. NOTE: I only tend to board one dog at a time for your fur baby safety.

About: I have 5 animals of my own 2 dogs 2 cats & a ferret. My sister has 2 cats as well as a family dog. I love them with everything in me. I’m looking to meet more people in my community & to get to know the area. Through this I’m hoping to make not only human friends, but a bunch of furry friends as well. I bathe my dog once a week. My cats getwet food twice daily along with other nutrients from vitamins. they all run around & are extremely healthy.

About: I used care of the neighborhood cats when I was around 10-11 and started pet sitting shortly after. I will care for your babies as if they were my own. I love animals and helping however I can! Im currently working full time, and have 3 cats of my own. But I love animals and always have time to help those that might need another set of hands to help with their fur babies. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable in their own environment. I follow your routine exactly; feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you give. I provide constant communication with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is keeping your home secure, your pet happy, and giving you total peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. What started as my own quickly transformed into me neighbors and families as well. I can cut toe nails, bathe, walk, etc! I currently work from home and go to school but I can definitely care and love on your pups and cats (and any other animal). I love all of them - big and small! I have a fenced yard with my own friendly dog that loves to make friends as well. I can also crate your (or my) dogs if needed with a crate you provide. I’m currently working part time so I have tons of time to look after your pets. I’m about to go on maternity leave as well and so my complete attention will be turned to working from home with odd jobs! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly pup to keep your dog company. I have a couch for dogs to lay on and a dog bed.

About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.

“Ivana was quick to get back to me and was able to accept on short notice. She did a great job with my dog and communicated with me every step of the way. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have been involved in working with animals on a providing-care basis since I was around 12 years old. I began through petsitting my neighbors dogs when they would go out of town. When I began college I got a job working at our local petstore which taught me so much more about caring for pets. I have also dedicated plenty of time to volunteering with animal shelters and fostering pets till they find their forever home. Now, I have multiple pets of my own and love any and all pets I have ever come across. I am currently a full time remote employee so I work from home M-F each week 7-4pm. Thankfully, working from home allows for flexibility and time with your pets the majority of the time. I am flexible with scheduling and I am happy to work with you and your pet to meet any needs or requirements that you may have. I currently live in a house with a large fenced in backyard where pets can run and play. I have pets of my own, 2 dogs. They get along great with each other and they all love other animals- cats and dogs alike. I am surrounded by great hiking trails, great parks, and more.

About: Family has always included dogs in our tribe. I am willing to travel in Florida for pet sitting needs. Let’s talk. My grandmother loved to reminisce about showing champion dogs growing up on Rhode Island in the early 1900s. We always had an Irish Setter or Scott Terrier of some kind. Until recently, I was the proud 10-year partner to a 95 pound Golden Doodle certified service dog JJ. JJ travelled the U.S. with me. JJ was trained for two years through a program in the Texas prison system, and a wounded warrior non profit. Another veteran is enjoying JJ now, so I decided to sign up to help other parents with their buddies. I am an empath and connect well with dogs, even dogs with challenges. I am a retired USAF veteran and recently relocated to Florida from New York. I can use salty and sweet techniques based on your buddies temperament to help our buddies stay safe and feel safe. Your loved one will know they are valued in my company, regardless of the kind of day they are having, or the challenges they might be facing. My schedule is my own. I do lots of reading and writing online so the quietness blends well with giving your buddies constant attention and affection. I can accommodate various schedules and circumstances for clients and their buddies needs. Let’s discuss your buddies situation. I will accommodate the owner and pets unique circumstances. I can support training objectives. I and my partner Michael (a U.S. Marine veteran) live a very quiet, healthy, sober, clean, non smoking lifestyle. I prefer written instructions, especially if there are diet or medication needs. I am a responsible professional and mom to adult children. At this time, I prefer to do pet sitting in your cleanly, non-smoking home. Or, dog walking in your neighborhood. My HOA doesn’t permit me to service a dog care business on our property.
