Mariah is very friendly and communicative. She did drop in visits for my cat, and she took the time to not only feed her and apply her eye-drop medication, but also to give her attention and play with her. I will be booking with her again!

Emily was great to work with and I would recommended her to anyone. This was the first time I left the cats at home so I was a little nervous but Emily made me feel that they were in good hands.

About: Hi! I go by Kat and since I was ten I've been around animals, from living on a farm with three Great Pyrenees, four Australian Shephards, two Pugs, and two chihuahuas and numerous litters and a cat rescue of twenty-six cats to my current situation of three dogs and six cats. I have also owned rats, mice, rabbits, and a gecko, so I have experience with all sorts of pets. Aside from what I own, I have cared for cockatiels, doves,geckos, a lorikeet, great danes, and pittbulls. I also worked at a vet office for a year before I started college, and seven months at a cat hospital in Maine, along with six months of professional cat boarding. Currently I work part time night shifts so I cannot do any drop ins after 9pm or before 8am. I work part time nights only and am available all weekend, Friday through Sunday, full time, so I will have plenty of time to ensure your pets will be well cared for! I am very flexible with how to care for pets, from crate training to leashed walks or free roaming. My animals are a mixture of them all, crate trained when guests are over and free-roaming during the day when I'm outside with them.

Rachel was great with our large and excitable Winston. We booked her for a drop in and she even stopped by earlier in the day for an initial meet and greet. She texted us updates and pics while she was here, which was comforting. We will definitely book Rachel again.

She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.

About: I have been housesitting and pet sitting for about 6 years now. I love dogs and I have one of my own! I am a very active person so I enjoy going on walks and playing with dogs. When I was about 12 I started to train CCI dogs and I love it so much! I have trained 4 dogs already. I am very familiar with giving pets medication if needed. I love being able to care for others pets because of how much I love my own. I want to provide you with the most thoughtful and loving care to your pets! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I do have some school obligations but those are also only two days a week for minimal hours. Unfortunately I am not able to host pups in my own home but I will gladly ensure the upmost safety and trust in your own home!

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had experience caring for pets since I was 9, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always make sure to follow instructions carefully, keep pets safe, and give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and different routines, and I try to be calm and gentle so pets feel comfortable around me. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to make time for drop-ins, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners are away. I’m responsible with schedules and always make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I keep things simple and consistent. I follow the pet’s usual routine, including feeding, water, litter box care, walks, and playtime. I’m respectful of the home and make sure pets are comfortable while their owner is away.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

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!

Rylee was very pleasant and quite "animal" knowledgeable. I had no qualms about leaving Grayson with her, but I hated leaving him! This was the first time I left him. I'd have Rylee back everytime! Please tip Rylee $20. And a huge thank you!

About: I've walked dogs, as well as watched them while the owners were away since I was little. I don't currently own any larger animals, but I have always handled them. Any dog wouldn't be an issue I currently could fill pretty much any need! I have a few hours of every day that I am busy, but I can be available pretty much anytime! I have an unfenced in yard that I would keep the dog leashed within, but I also know many of the dog friendly hiking trails within the Altoona area. I would be will to do whatever your most comfortable with!

Madison was amazing with all our animals. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and everything was taken care of. She even went out of her way to get us a piece of equipment that broke.
