About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and more. Currently, I have two pets: Gremlin, a male mutt, and Eggs, a long-haired tabby female. They are my babies. A year ago, I experienced the loss of my sweet husky and lab, and I still miss them dearly. My passion for animals is unwavering, and I take great joy in caring for them. Gremlin, in particular, is very friendly and enjoys meeting new animals. I am a highly responsible and dedicated individual who will treat your pets with the utmost care and attention. I will provide regular updates and photos throughout the day to ensure your peace of mind while you are away. Additionally, I will ensure that your pets are well-fed, exercised, groomed, and their living area is kept clean. I am excited to meet you and your pets and provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently not working for the summer so I have plenty of time for your pets! I will be on most weekdays and weekends. I have a large unfenced yard. I have a friendly pup that would love to play. I allow my pets on my furniture. I can crate your pet if you would prefer otherwise they can get on my couch or the dog beds around my apartment. Whether at your house or mine, I will cade for your pet how you prefer and spoil them like my own.
“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”

About: I was a care worker for most of life and had a career change at 25. I have done my share of taking care of the elder and animals. I have taken care of my own animals and others over my life time. I'm back in the Altoona area after the military. I was also known as the "crazy cat lady" during my most recent military deployment to the Middle East. I helped take care of the feral cats around camp by reporting new cats and taking care of one particular. I am a full-time student and am available after 5 pm and weekends. I update my schedule regularly for days I will not be available. I have a cat with chronic UTIs. I spend the extra time and money to make sure she is taken care of so I will make sure your animals receive the same care and love she does.
About: I’ve never had a moment in my life without dogs, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. My first true love was Buddy, the rescue we adopted when I was nine. Despite his arthritis and digestive issues, I made it my mission to keep him comfortable by giving his medications, adjusting his routine, and celebrating every wag of his tail. Later, Max joined our family and filled our home with playful energy that kept Buddy’s spirits high. In college, I began fostering, which quickly became one of my greatest joys. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, each one taught me something new about patience, compassion, and consistency. That’s also how I met Vaugn, my “foster fail,” who instantly became family. Today, he thrives thanks to daily medication and homemade meals I prepare to soothe his skin allergies. I now work full time as a day trader, which means I am home all day and have a flexible schedule to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and companionship. Every dog I’ve cared for, whether my own, a foster, or a client’s, has reminded me how much love lives in the smallest routines. I bring that same devotion, patience, and hands-on care to every pet I look after. Take a peek at my photos to see some of the amazing pups who have filled my home and heart along the way. I work from home full time as a day trader, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup. Since I don’t offer boarding at my home, I focus on drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting to make sure your dog stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I can easily adjust walk times, feeding routines, and play sessions to match your dog’s normal schedule. I always prioritize safety, trust, and communication when caring for pets in their own homes. I take time to learn your dog’s routine, comfort zones, and preferences so they feel relaxed while you’re away. Whether your dog needs medication, structured walks, or extra cuddles, I follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with regular photos and messages.
