Pet Sitting in Armagh

About: I truly enjoy getting to know each individual dog's personality and tailoring my response to match. My family always had a dog growing up. Though I am not a "dog trainer" my dogs have always been taught basic commands and learned to reliably respond, for their safety. Lots of treats. I am retired, so I (and my husband) are normally home except for brief errands. My dog and I take about a mile walk twice a day through the woods. Your dog would get frequent leash walks, and whatever playtime they wanted. And of course lots of hugs. :) We have a large back yard bordering on a wooded area for frequently leash walking your dog. Additionally we have a small (20' x 14') fenced area for some off leash play time. Our dog enjoys other dogs and our cat thinks he is a dog. Our pets are allowed on furniture, but of course we would reinforce your rules if they differ. We will play games in the house and lots of attention will be given.

“Jamie was able to come and meet my cat and learn his routine on short notice, was friendly, and my cat liked her. I was very comfortable with her and have scheduled her for drop in visits 4 days a week.”

“Kelly is amazing!! When we found her, we were looking for a pet sitter on short notice. She was so understanding and accommodating. She took her time in allowing our dog to warm up to her at their meet and greet, and also on the drop-in visits. She provides fast communication and the best photo updates!! Not only does she do the essential duties of pet sitting, she takes time to play and cuddle with them so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. “Aunt Kelly” is highly recommended and will definitely be used again!!!”

About: I have an insulin-dependent grandcat and another grand that had to be temporarily tube-fed. I am grandma to 6 fur babies and am at their beckon call for daily needs, meds and appointments. When I am babysitting my grandson throughout the week, I am also taking care of his 4 fur brothers. I have a flexible schedule which allows me some freedom to help others. That will be custom tailored to each individual. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. My work is 40 miles from home which can offer a wider range from my home, depending on the situation.

About: Hello! My name is Joudi. I've been petsitting for more than 10 years and have 4 years of experience working at a veterinary clinic and emergency hospital in Philadelphia. There, I restrained dogs and cats for exams, performed blood draws, gave vaccines, and cared for pets boarding with us. I've also volunteered at an animal hospital/shelter in Vietnam where I cared for anxious and/or aggressive dogs. My favorite part of the experience was spending time with these types of dogs in particular to help them open up and trust humans, making them more likely to get adopted. Since moving from Philly, I no longer work at an animal hospital but deeply miss being around pets daily. I've absolutely loved animals my entire life and I can guarantee I will treat your pet like my own and provide the best care possible! I'm currently working part-time in Ligonier with a flexible schedule and I'll do my very best to become available for your pet! I mainly focus on overnight stays at the pet’s home since I now have another kitty who’s not the biggest fan of dogs. I have experience caring for anxious, aggressive, and medicated cats and dogs. I will typically ask about your pets behavior around new people, other animals, and what I can do to make them comfortable around me.

About: I have a senior dog of my own who requires a lot of TLC! With him being 16 I am well versed in administering medicine to animals, giving them all the attention they need, and getting in some active time! I have also house sat and taken care of numerous dogs for a multiple day period! I have been dog sitting as a hobby since I was in high school! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, needs, and energy levels! I joined rover because I have an immense love for fur babies and getting to interact with all of them and take care of them fills me with joy! I am currently in college attending IUP. I graduate in December. During my semesters, my classes are all online so I am very available when it comes to my schedule! I also work part-time but the schedule is flexible as well so I can accommodate for any needs you have! With my work and school schedule being very flexible I am able to stop in for frequent potty breaks and check-ins! This allows me to also be very open for walks and stays! With offering services to watch your animal in your home, this allows for the dog to be more comfortable because they’re in their day-to-day environment! I will take the upmost care with respecting your home and not disrupting it!

About: I used to work at an animal rescue so I’ve dealt with all kinds of dogs! What I learned from working there is that every animal is special and deserves all the love in the world. I work part-time at an elementary school. I typically work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so my schedule any other day is wide open. I just need the client to put in the request a couple days in advance! I am a college student so I live in an apartment with three other girls. The apartment is pet friendly and we have dogs over all the time! There is no fenced in yard, but there is a beautiful, spacious yard behind the complex. As for a client’s home, I will care for the pet per the clients request!

“Muriel was the best! She took great care of our pooch! We are so thankful for her. She was always on schedule and she let us know how our pup was doing. It was a great experience for our first time using Rover.com.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.

About: I can do boarding for any friendly cat since I have 2 kittens but it would be hard for me to watch a dog in my apartment or board a dog so I would have to come to your house to watch your dog. For any visit that I will make to your house, I will make absolute sure that your dog is comfortable with me being there, then I will gain their trust so that every time I come back they will get more and more happy that their friend Nikki is coming to take care of them! If your dog needs a walk, don't worry! I have experience with a dog that weighs a good 100 pounds, so they can't run away from me! I'll even clean up after your pooch after they go to the bathroom, just to make sure your neighbors don't get angry with me! Also, any animal I meet I love, so that means any job I take, I will be more than happy to keep returning to your house, or walking your dog(s)!

About: I’ve owned many different species of pets my whole life and have always been gentle, caring, and passionate with them. I will be the same way with your fur babies. I currently am working part-time and usually just work weekends. Even if there are days that I work and I am needed to stop in and care for your fur babies, I will do so, no questions asked. I have 3 Guinea pigs that are in their own room with the door shut as I have 2 cats. I also have a chameleon who is in his own enclosure and where my cats cannot reach him. All of my babies are happy and healthy and I will make sure your babies stay that way as well.

About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 4. However, at age 12 I got my first dog just for me. I took it very serious and have loved taking care of dogs and cats ever since. I have raised a few dogs and cats of my own since they were young, some since actual birth. I have also taken care of a family dog whom was blind and deaf due to being very old. I currently can’t welcome pets into my own home, but I love caring for dogs so I wanted to still find a way to care for them! On days like now when it’s cold and everyone is busy, I have no issue walking your dog and ensuring they still get the outside experience without you worrying about their safety. I am big on giving regular updates and treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m a part time college student! Pretty much free with all online classes. I occasionally go to the gym but besides that, I’m always home. Think of it like if I’m babysitting someone’s child. It pretty much is for many dog owners, I would know as my dog Nya was very much my daughter lol. But it’s very important that I ask all the necessary questions so I can care for your pet the same way you would. If you give them treated only during certain behavior than I will too. If you only walk them in certain areas then I will too. It’s important to not only make every pet feel safe and comfortable, but to create an experience that doesn’t feel to far from home. That way not only does the pet feel happy, but once they are back to their owner it feels like they never left.

About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.

About: I've been been a kennel attendant for 6 months where I took care of dogs of all breeds. I've also learned how to administer medication to pets for different diseases I am currently unemployed so I will have plenty of time to make sure your pets are loved and cared for! I have 3 pets myself so I have plenty of experience! I've been working in the animal field for a little over a year, but have had my own pets since I was little. You can trust me with your animals because I love them as much as you do and don't want to see anything bad happen to them.

About: I have tons of experience with both cats and dogs. I have two pets of my own that i trained and take care of, a golden retriever and a cat! I am home for the summer hoping to save for college. I can promise I will be a great person to rely on to take care of your pets! I work an evening shift at my part time job throughout the week, but it is very flexible. I am open throughout the week and can work per care into my schedule very easily. I have a very friendly dog in my home and a cat that is inside and outside. When it comes to caring for your pet in my home, I will treat them as my own! My dog gets almost daily walks and is on a very consistent feeding schedule, as yours will be as well.

About: I’ve had a handicapped dog my entire life growing up! I currently have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd mix and a 9 month old puppy who both mean the world to me!

I am currently in Nursing School and graduate in December, I have a very versatile schedule as I have class only a few days a week and am able to be there to help after or before class!
