“Definitely an expert in dog care. Very responsive. Gives notes and picture updates. We booked her for dog drop in visits. Even thought about leaving a light on for him. Super sweet.”
“Shayna was wonderful with our two pups during her drop-in visit! She is reliable, kind, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind for 10 years. As a therapist with a flexible schedule, I bring a calm, patient energy to pet care and always give dogs plenty of attention and exercise. As a therapist, I set my own hours, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m reliably available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week and on weekends. My home is a comfortable, pet-friendly environment — I have a dog and two cats of my own, so your pet will have friendly animal company and be cared for the same way I care for my own pets.
About: Growing up on a small farm in rural Texas, i’ve been surrounded by animals by entire life, yet our little furry friends that we allow to live in our homes always have been my specialty. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 5, have taken many vet-med classes, and even have interned as a small animal veterinarian. I love an active, rowdy dog who is down to run laps and play all day, or even a relaxed gentle pup who just wants cuddles. I have intensive experience with senior dogs, I am able to administer any medicines/vaccines your puppy may need! I currently work at home so I am available to love your pup all around the clock!! I do online classes at CSU, so I am only away typically for errands and gym! I live solo in a pet-free, child-free apartment that is spacious and has an unfenced backyard, however there is a park nearby to take any runners out in!
About: I have owned pure-bred, rescues, fosters, disabled, and re-homed pets throughout my life (mostly large 40+lbs., but small as well.) I've provided training from puppy age into late-life comfort care. I also have a masters degree in behavior analysis and reinforcement training. I work from home as a part-time artist, so I'm around most the day as well as my dad. There is also a doggy door from outside into the garage (but not into the house). I trained Kizzy to push a button that says "outside" so I let her out as needed throughout the day and when one goes out, the rest tend to follow so plenty of potty breaks! I try to allocate ~5min to each pup for 1:1 lovings and belly rubs at some point in the day! Kizzy has a very flexible eating schedule and I am happy to accommodate feeding as needed for your pup. (Let me know about food aggression!) I tend to walk pups late in the evening when there's less distraction, less noise, and cooler, but we DO stop and smell the roses... and grass... and benches...and fire hydrants....etc. no rush here! Also, everyone gets a LED glow collar because safety first! Safety is a priority! Behavior Analysis is my field of expertise, which is primarily the use of reinforcement procedures to change behavior (mostly for individuals with autism!) This means I do NOT implement punishment procedures but rather "ignore" the undesired behavior, so rest assured no punishment for potty accidents or unbearably tempting trash bins :) LED glow collars for nighttime walking. Can feed separately or together depending on your pup's needs! Will supervise feeding, especially initially! Also happy to accommodate medication administration if needed. I have a very social 6 year old boxer mix named Kizzy who is active, tolerant, great with sharing and loves new friends! I have a 4ft fenced in yard, which backs up to a walking path with other dogs often walking by (so let me know about reactivity issues!) I prefer to have your babies here in my home as it allows me to work from home. I have multiple dog beds, a basket of toys, an extra large crate if needed, I keep water filled, yummy organic treats. I have lots of walking paths in me neighborhood, a nearby dog park, and kizzy loves swimming in the river so water-loving dogs are welcome! I have cared for higher-needs pets including geriatric, blind, deaf, and even one which was paralyzed and used a wheelchair! I am very comfortable with administering meds, the "cone of shame", assisting with mobility up/down stairs, etc. However, I am also available to stop by your home for potty breaks/medications/water refill/etc. and am available to pick the pups up myself depending on time of day! I am very flexible, just let me know what ya need!
About: I've house and pet sit for friends & family for years, due to my size I can walk more than one big dog at a time. I'm a Lyft driver so pets and home can come first during my work week without any worries because I set my own schedule at Lyft. I will provide the exact rules that you leave for your home and pets and act as if I could be you the parents as much as I able while you're gone.
“Amber goes above and beyond, and I can depend on her to be there when I need her. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of expertise with dogs and went above and beyond and gave me great value today when she bathed both of my dogs. One of them is a puppy and quite the shyster. She is a golden doodle and I know they are not easy to keep groomed. Thanks, Amber and I will see you next time!”
About: Hi! My name is Jacob and I have always have had love and passion for all animals! I am 18 and out of school! I have had all animals growing up from dogs to reptiles! I am responsible and outgoing! I am here for your pet needs! I am currently pet sitting full time! My days are Available for your pets needs, from drop ins to stays! Enjoy your vacation with pictures and updates of your babies! I have 3 dogs of my own with them having their own individual personalities! I am aware of what the animal does or doesn’t like whether it’s super affectionate or wants to be left alone! I am very aware of what they are doing at all times!
“Nicole helped keep my new border collie company for a couple drop in visits while I was away long hours at work. She was communicative and responsive and I know Logan loved it! Thanks Nicole!”
“This was our second time having AJ look after our dog. AJ was again great with our two dogs. They both really liked her. It was our new dog Lucy's frist time being watched by AJ. Lucy loved AJ and was AJ's new buddy. We will definitely use AJ again and recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter. AJ communicated through out the day with us. It's nice being able to leave the dogs and know they were being well cared for.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, I have exerience with a variety of breeds. I have experience from Veterinary care and animal boarding. I have had puppies, senior dogs, and special needs dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I would love to help care for your pet when you need help! I'm available weekday evenings and day/night every weekend. I'm available to walk dogs, drop in for visits, or do boarding if ever needed. I live in a house with a fenced yard. I have three pets of my own. I pet sit outside my home and offer dog walking services. I am excited to help in any way I can. I have 3 pets of my own with a fenced yard and I love both dogs and cats.
About: Family and Neighbors have relied on me to take care of their varieties of pets since I was 7, from feeding, walking, and snuggles to administering different types of medications. I have a deep care for animals and take their health seriously. I work from home and can mostly make my own hours to be flexible around your preferred times for me to come by to check in and care for your pet. I can approach your pet however you’d prefer and make sure they are secured safely upon my leaving whether that is kenneling or just locking the house door behind me.
About: I have been a dog mom for 2 of my own and have fostered dozens of large dogs, sick or healthy, many from kill lists that I help to heal. It's not just physical, but mental healing and manners, inside the home or out in public. All my fosters have gone on to be adopted by loving families! I primarily do boarding, and can walk your dog (s), keep your dog in my home where I have a huge fenced yard. House sitting, drop ins and walks are good if you live close to my place. I am mostly retired. I’m allergic to cats, so no house sitting your dogs if there is a cat present. My experience with foster dogs has taught me how to easily handle dogs with positive re-enforcement. I don't demand that your dog(s) submit to me. I give praise every time I catch them doing well. I train house manners when in my home to eliminate counter surfing, attempts to push through a door first and they get to practice their obedience commands. Lots of walks and a prolific amount of play engage their minds allowing them to work mentally and physically to become a happier pet. I believe all dogs are good dogs, it's the people that need to bring out the best in them. Your dog(s) will be happy! I appreciate the generosity of happy pet owners and all cash tips support my dog foster efforts :). Thanks!

I have many references that can confirm I have a great work ethic and will take great care of your precious animals. I also have a German Shepherd of my own named Caya. I absolutely adore animals and my time spent watching your babies is more of a hobby than work for me. Please contact me if my services interest you! I am currently on a break from work while I am being credentialed at my new clinic. I have lots of free time and availability throughout the week.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johnstown
May was absolutely wonderful with my chickens while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. She even brought them a special pinecone treat to play with, sat and read to them, and went the extra mile by checking on them an additional time when we had stormy weather. 🥹🐔 It was so clear that May genuinely cared about my chickens, and knowing she was looking after them gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy, well-loved chickens, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend May and would love to have her care for my flock again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Johnstown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Johnstown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Johnstown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
