“Alyssa has adored animals since she was a little girl. She has a way with animals that really can't be explained, they all love her. Alyssa is a responsible and dependable individual. She would love your pets as if they were her own.”


2. 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!!!”

9. 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.


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. Isabel H.

“Isabel is super helpful. She was available to help last minute and made us confident our dogs were safe. Our frenchie is skiddish around new people but immediately was comfortable with Isabel which was a huge relief. Thanks for making this weekend so easy and we look forward to using her in the future”

“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!!”




14. Jereann W.

“Jereann has taken care of my dog many times and I have always been very impressed by her professional and responsible behavior, as well as her obvious sense of care and love for my dog and animals in general. My dog is often timid and apprehensive when she first meets strangers, but she was immediately comfortable with Jereann. I even got text updates and photos of how things were going while I was away! Jereann is trained in the animal medical field, so it was really reassuring to know that my dog would be in good hands in the case of a possible emergency.”


15. Joudi A.
“Joudi is fantastic with dogs. She treats every animal like it is her own and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s watched my dog while I’ve gone away multiple times and I know he’s taken care just as I would take care of him. Your dog will thank you for picking Joudi!”


16. 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.


17. Shan H.

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


18. 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!”


19. 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.”


20. Maddie M.
