About: Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, and I love dogs of all sizes and other animals as well. I grew up on a farm, and we always had dogs. My black lab, Teke, was my best friend and provided me with hours of fun and years of memories. I currently reside in Ligonier, PA and have two dogs of my own: Molly (Bichon Frise/Shih tzu mix) and Bo (Pit/ Lab mix); a sweet kitty, Marshmallow; and, a Netherland dwarf rabbit, Darth.I have experience caring for puppies, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable giving medications, and following any special diets your fur baby may have. I will treat your fur children as if they were my own. If you are interested please reach out and let’s connect today! **Please note that the rate as established is per animal per night, drop-in, or walk. There has been some confusion and Rover doesn't clarify that.** I am a full-time Neurorehabilitation Specialist specializing in TBI care, so I am able to tailor my schedule to fit pet care into my daily routine. I always make sure their needs are met. I can provide whatever services your furbaby may need. My babies are well cared for, and they are always my top priority. I am here to help!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and I absolutely love doing it I have a dog of my own that I love. I always enjoy spending time with animals. I am free in the evenings and throughout the day time, I am able to stop over whenever I have a pretty free schedule and I’m also great with early mornings!

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

II’m excited to dog or puppy sit and get to know more people in my community I am currently a stay at home mom, December I will be returning to work but I plan on only working part time. Thank you I have 2 local parks I visit and one has a dog park. I also have a fenced in yard at my apartment we spend a lot of time in.

We live on 2 acres that hoping to get fenced in the next year. We like hiking so your dogs into that please have all flea and tick things they require. All dogs must be vaccinated and up to date on shots as we have 2 dogs. All dogs must be good with small children. Home sitting /walking in mostly available afternoon night time.

About: I used to run my own successful pet sitting business out of the Hollidaysburg veterinary clinic with the help of Dr. Kendra. I had many happy, recurring clients and really enjoyed working with local families and their pets. I have experience working with all types and sizes of animals (as well as personalities). I currently own 3 German Shepherds, 3 cats and 3 parrots. I look forward to meeting your family and fur babies! I currently work full time but I’m available anytime time on my off days and both before and after work on any other day. I can stay overnight at your home or stop in through the day, depending on your needs. I’m also available for dog walking or other care services such as bathing. I am available for overnight and drop in services as well as pet care services such as walking and bathing. I am very flexible and willing to work with all types of clients in all types of situations.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breed since I was 15. Neighbors, Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, socialize, administer medication to their fur babies. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to provide the care for your four legged fur babies so very much deserve! I have a fenced in yard and a dog and a cat to keep your fur baby company! My animals get along very well with others and love playtime!

About: I've taken care of kinds of pets since I was a teenager. I've had pet dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, chameleons, salt water aquariums, my entire life. I have natural body language that usually puts dogs and cats (well not all cats...cats are cats after all ;-)) at ease usually within minutes after meeting. I'm responsible and have less time where I have to be meeting with clients on site which gives me the opportunity to spend more time with your pet which is a win-win for you and your pet. I'm working on a startup and I'm an avid runner that knows most of the parks in the city very well. All questions welcomed of course. I'm currently working on projects and with free lance clients on a case by base basis which gives me more time to spend with your dog. Note that I’ve watched dogs in NYC and lived there for 10 years. So NYC is an option as well. For house sitting closer to Pittsburgh and further than 20 miles away. Has to be on a case by case basis. Length of stay is a factor for example. I love playing with dogs and cats but that means very different things to each owner so that will depend on meeting with the owner to discuss what their particular pets like and what makes them comfortable. Have a specific concern or request ? Please let me know and ask about my personalized , artist designed pet video inspirational coffee mugs, calendars and more 🤠👍

I will take the upmost care with respecting your home and not disrupting it!

Im currently looking to take on a few clients (multiple pet families & senior/special needs pets/exotic pets) that require more of my time, training and attention. Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for . If you think we would be a good match we can have a screening interview over the phone. And then I'd follow up with a meet and greet to do a hands-on assessment on your pet.

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.
