About: I grew up on a farm and as a child was responsible for all cat and kitten care. Have done pet rescue for 25 years and have had more than 200 foster dogs and many, many foster kittens. Experience introduction dogs, managing medication and health issues. I work from home so I am here to let pets outside in my fenced in yard. We take two scheduled “fetch breaks” a day and can add more. I have a fenced in yard. Dogs are taken on walks outside of yard if energy level determines. Inground pool so dogs can swim in summer if desired.

4. Micaela H.
About: Hello pet lovers! My name is Micaela, and like you I care a great deal about animals. I am a veterinarian technician at a local animal hospital and a dog trainer! I have plenty experience with dogs of many breeds, ages, and sizes. My home is puppy proofed and full of doggy toys. I have plenty of room in my home a large sized yard for the dogs to play freely. A typical doggy day with me would be a morning walk followed by a resting period and a meal then later play time, another walk and an hour of training with positive re-enforcement. What makes me stand out is my ability to gain trust and respect of any dog from the tiny yorkshire terrier to the towering great dane. I am trustworthy and I take my work very seriously. I can't wait to meet your pets! My schedule is flexible. I am more than happy to accommodate based on you and your pet’s needs and wants to provide the best care possible. I am a certified dog trainer and veterinarian technician. I believe no job is too tough and no pet is unworthy of love and effort!

“Maureen came to our place to meet our puppy the night before my husband and I left for a weekend trip last month. This was the first time my husband and I were both gone overnight since we got him in June! Maureen made sure to keep us updated each day about how Rudy was doing, how he ate and what they were doing. You can truly tell how much she loves doing what she does! We loved and appreciated the updates while away! We felt super comfortable leaving Rudy with Maureen and plan to have her watch him for all future overnight trips for my husband and I. Thank you Maureen for loving our crazy boy while we were away! He looks forward to playing with you again!”

18. Sydney K.
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!

“Great pet sitter and great person in general. My family left instructions for her to follow and she had no problem doing what we asked. She was able to stay and play with the dogs as well as our cat. She frequently took them on walks when she visited. Our pets love her and I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
