“Loved the pictures! Made my long work day much better. Thank you!”

“Elli watched our two very needy (medically and emotionally) English Bulldogs for two days for us. They both require several medications at different times of the day and can be difficult to feed. She did a great job and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have three dogs of my own and I also used to work at a dog day care so I have experience with any type of breed, and I also have had dogs growing up, I also have experience with reptiles, and bunnies, I’m just an all around animal lover!

6. Kelly H.

“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!!!”


7. Cassie H.
About: I have been a dog owner for 13 plus years. I've rescued and also raised from birth. I've successfully trained puppies and older dogs. Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks, obviously didn't take enough time to try 😉. I'm always getting calls from family and friends to help when it comes to their pets and guidance on what to do. I assist in helping animal rescues find lost or abandoned pets. Im educated on dog allergies for Ive spent 13 years assisting my pitties back to health! I'm also experienced in bathing and nail trimming. I currently work full time during the night shift but my dream job is and has been helping animals get the love and attention they deserve, so I will always find a way to come help your pet. I currently have 4 dogs myself and have a fenced in yard for them to run. I know this isn't an option for everyone, so of course leashes would be the way of letting your animal out for bathroom breaks and exercise. Playing fetch or tug with owners toys would also be included in my services.

“Sam has been nothing short of amazing! Due to her extremely open schedule, we have been able to book her for any last minute trips with no issues. Our cat and dog adore her and I couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our babies!!”

10. Kayla L.
“I would absolutely recommend Kayla as a dog caregiver. Kayla is the most caring, loving, empathetic person I know! She is kind and always happy and much fun to be around. I would recommend her to take care of any pet I have without hesitation. I know she will show up with the energy needed without a doubt. A pet would not get luckier than to have Kayla take care of them. I would have to say, she loves pets like they were her children .”


11. Anna B.
About: I have lived with animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for many years. I love walking, fetching, and playing with dogs. I’ve also taken care of many cats. I am currently in college and attending IUP so my availability differs throughout the week. Please check my availability for my current schedule and contact me if you have any questions, as I may be able to make adjustments. I abide strictly to what the owner requests. I think it is very important to maintain the pets schedule in order to make the pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

“She was very reliable and kind to my cats.”


15. Madison H.
“Madison has house sat and watched our three Rottweilers on multiple occasions. We’ve had trouble keeping good pet sitters since our pups are very active, but Madison has been the best sitter we’ve had! Our dogs absolutely adore her. She has shown communication skills by sending us updates on our pups when we’re out of town, follows schedules for feeding and walking promptly, and is overall a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to watch your pets!”


16. Joudi A.
“I have known Joudi for 8 years and can honestly say that her passion for animals is unrivaled. She has honed her skills over the years as a veterinary technician and a regular pet-sitter. She is responsible, reliable, and experienced. Furthermore, the love she shows to your pet will always be genuine.”


17. Kelli K.
About: My family had a cat for about a year before I was born. I helped feed it and clean out its litter box. When he wanted to, I would play with him, but he wasn’t a super playful cat. A few years after he died, my family got 2 bluetick coonhound puppies. I trained both of them and I love the puppy stage! I also enjoy taking my dogs on walks. Both of my dogs are about 70lbs. They are a hunting breed, but we do not hunt them. However, they occasionally will lunge at things and bark. I am able to handle them when they get excited and neither of my dogs have ever gotten loose. I am confident in my ability to walk dogs of all breeds, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I’m a college student at IUP and am hoping to make some cash on the side while going to school full time. Currently I’m available for any of the listed times on weekends. The first weekend of September is when my availability starts. I have had experience with both dogs and cats and am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of both cats and dogs. I live taking my dogs on walks, and am more than willing to walk your dog(s). I have trained both my dogs, and love working with puppies. I also love getting to play with cats whenever I get the chance.


18. Angela G.
“Angela is wonderful! We have two German Shepherds and two cats. Angela has been a great help when we need to leave our babies under someone else's care. Angela takes time to play with them and makes them feel as though they are special and it makes them miss us just a little less. The dogs really look forward to when Angela takes care of them.”


19. Maddie M.
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.
