Cat Sitting in Altoona

“Vivian took exceptional care of our fur babies while we were gone for a long vacation! She took the time to bond and play with our cats and sent us detailed updates with pictures. We had great peace of mind knowing they were in her care! She was super accommodating as well and even watered our flowers and filled plant humidifiers daily! Definitely recommend her services!”

“My fur babies seemed very happy and content when I got home. Abby kept me informed and took great care of them.”

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

“Holly did a great job caring for our cats this weekend. I really appreciated her attention to detail. She clearly read all the instructions we left and did everything just right. Highly recommend!”

“She did a wonderful job caring for my sick and yet very energetic husky. Super nice woman and a very good caretaker. My husky threw a temper tantrum when she saw me walk through the front door instead of Farra 😂”

“Angie is the best! She has done drop in visits for my two cats numerous times - most recently for 14 days while I was gone in a trip. When I got home my cats were calm and relaxed as if I hadn't been gone at all. Angie is very kind and well qualified to watch pets, she also brings in my mail and feeds the birds for me... I highly recommend her!!”

“I needed last minute care for my dogs before a trip and she was amazing. She took great care of my dogs even through my dogs weren’t used to new people visiting the apartment. She even checked in on them during bad weather. Really appreciate the help and would recommend.”

About: I’ve been fostering adult dogs for the ARL for the last few years and have had so much fun getting to learn about a variety of breeds, personalities and behaviors. I’ve also had many pets throughout my life, including my current fur babies Raven (dog) and Lilo (cat). I’m currently working as a freelancer and am available throughout the day. I do participate in recreational sports on some evenings, otherwise I can be very flexible! I love to be outside and enjoy nothing more than letting dogs unwind on a long walk. I’m also happy to play fetch or tug, go to a nearby park or engage in whatever style of play your pup prefers.

“Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!”

“Rachel is amazing! Maybe a "cat whisperer?!" First time leaving my dog for more than 1 night. I loved the pics I got more than I expected! It eased my mind, so I could concentrate on my work trip duties. She gave great care & love to my 2 cats and 1 dog. Highly recommend! Good job, I will use again!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I would look after friends, families, and neighbors pets while they are away. Everyone in my life knows I am a very trusted person. I am currently a student at Aveda Institute Tuesday-Friday, and I babysit on Mondays. Pet sitting is a perfect fit for me on the weekends. I am able to work with any pet and cater to their needs whether they are a very energetic dog or a senior citizen dog who needs some more love. I am more than willing to accommodate to everyone's needs.

About: I've owned multiple senior dogs, and volunteered at the ARL dog shelter. I am more experienced with cats, but am willing to work with dogs as well, especially if they're easy going. I'm currently attending college, so for the summer my schedule is pretty much open! I can work anytime of day, and am able to work holidays. I have experience working with senior and sickly pets, as well as some experience with kittens. If you have a cat who is harness trained I would be happy to take them on walks.

About: Hi! I am a mom to two Australian Shepherds (ages 4 years and 4 months) and a toddler. My husband, son and I love dogs. I really enjoy walking, playing and snuggling with dogs. We have a home in Altoona and a fenced in yard for outside play/ going potty. Happy to work with you and meet your pups! I am available to drop in and care for your dog(s), take them for walks, or have a sleepover at my home. I work during the week and am home on the weekends. So I am available if you need a weekend overnight sitter. Please let me know if you have questions or want to do a meet and greet. Thanks for considering me as your pet sitter!

“Hanna is so attentive and great with Ole!”

“Ash did a great job with our pets while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures from each drop in. She showed up on time each day and all the animals seemed to love her!”

About: I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was a small child. My first pet as an adult was a cat. Since then, we have adopted and loved a previous military trained explosives German Shepherd, a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix (recently passed 2/27/26 😢), and also the partial owner of (with my ex-spouse) a police K9 Belgian Malinois. The K9 was brought home at 8 weeks and trained in-house (both at home and at work, but trained by my ex-husband). I love all dogs- big and small. I currently work full time, but work in the office 3 days/week, which makes me have a lot of flexibility to help out during the week and during the day time. My pets have always been considered my children. I am comfortable with leashing and controlling dogs in a variety of situations. I am situationally aware and avoid interacting with other dogs while walking, as I know those are unpredictable situations.

“We absolutely adore Karissa and feel so relaxed when we need to go out of town. She is great with my boys and gives them so much love and attention!”

“Allison did a perfect job checking in on my two cats while I was out of town. Booking her was fast and easy. She is punctual, respectful, follows directions, and is very communicative. She gave a thorough update and went above and beyond in her care. I definitely recommend booking with her. Thanks again, Allison!”

“Great job!”

“Ian was great at coming to help us on such short notice. We had him drop-in to visit our cats a few times and he sent us pictures every time. We really appreciated his help.”
