“She was so sweet and took amazing care of our furballs. She was super patient with our senior kitty who is spicy but ended up becoming friends. Will definitely be using her again”

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!
About: I used to work at an animal shelter as a canine caregiver, where I worked with dogs of all different breeds, ages, sizes and backgrounds. I am currently a college student with a lot of free time and would love to spend that time doing what I love, working with dogs. I try to stay at the client’s home where the animal is the most comfortable. The client would normally show me their routine with the animal and I would try my best to follow as closely as possible during my time there.
About: I have experience with a variety of pets, mostly cats. In the last few years, I've gained more experience with dogs and I truly enjoy any opportunity I get to meet and care for them!

I am able to give medication if needed with clear instructions.

“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. Our puppy wasn’t feeling great the night before but Paige kept me posted on how she was doing throughout the day. Dogs were happy when we came home and house was as we left it. Would definitely use Paige again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I have experience raising and loving dogs of my own, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and lots of playtime. Beyond that, I’ve spent years dog sitting for friends and family, making sure their pets were happy and well cared for while they were away. I also work part time at a doggy daycare, where I gain hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From feeding, to group playtime and individual care, I’ve learned how to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup. As a college student at IUP, my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as well as weekends for pet care. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, and I make sure to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, whether it’s about feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medications. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and making sure they stay safe and under control on every walk. In my home, I provide a clean, cozy space, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. All of my family owns a pup (or a few), and not to toot my own horn, but I’m always the go-to pooch auntie when visiting. Give me all the slobbers and toys, I’ll play just as much as them!!! My first job was as a dog groomer, soothing anxious or wild pups to cranky old woofers. 😆 I’ve dog sat for chihuahuas, pit bull mixes and Dalmatians. There is no dog too small, too large or too air headed (I’ve had my fair share of disoriented huskies running about the shop, only love to you)!!! I’m my schedule is currently quite flexible as I’m predominantly working online. I love going for walks and am available to do so at any point between 8am-8pm! I offer all other services, all you need to do is ask and share the times, and I’ll work with you to see if it would be a good fit for you and your pooch! I currently live in a two story apartment with two kitties. I am more than willing to stay with your pooch in their preferred and comfortable space, but am open to offering space if need-be and there are no discrepancies with my fur babies! (They are a bit skittish around bigger dogs, but have been around large dogs without issues before during past sitting experiences and when I travel with them to visit family)!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and recently in the last 2 years I adopted a full black lab into my family. I have been asked by neighbors to take care of their pets while they are away. I feel like a dog deserves to be walked outdoors as much as a human. I am currently home for the summer and ready to walk your pups! I am available everyday!! Please get in touch with me to start. I cannot wait! At home my dog has an invisible fence and big yard to run around. I walk him every morning before I go anywhere so that he is tired out for the day.
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 have 6 years of experience with dogs. From doggy daycare, Kennels, and veterinary clinics I have all the experience your furry friend would need! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, medications and so much more! I will care for your dogs like my own. I currently work part time at a kennel I've been at for 3 years now. I can do Monday-Friday evening as of right now. I do Walks mainly but also drop ins and daycares. I do not do overnight stays or in home stays. I do not care for pets in my home but I would be happy to do whatever needs done with your furry friend. A walk? Ball time? You name it and I'll be happy to do it!
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 grown up with dogs and cats my whole life so I know what all needs to be done and parents have relied on me to take care of our animals. I have also dog/cat sat for my neighbors multiple times every year. I’m reliable to take them on walks, feed them, and all of that. I am a current student at IUP but only have one class a day with multiple online on top of two part time jobs but my schedule is very flexible so I’d be able to spend more time with your animals if you’d prefer! If your dogs need to be crated I can easily do that, if they need to be walked can do that. Whatever you’d need done for them Id be able to do since I’ve grown up with two german shepherds my whole life.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/ cats my whole life. You’re animals would be in good hands and loved so much. They would never not be attended to I just love animals and giving them affection because they deserve that too. I can work any time you need me, they are more than welcome to stay at my place or I can travel to you I do drive and have my license! I do not have a yard because of the school apartment, but I will always walk your dog and go to a park near by and just have lots of fun with your fur babies.
“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!!!”
