Pet Sitting in Johnstown

“I was a little hesitant at first using someone I didn’t know to take care of our boy, but Sarah did a great job with him and giving us updates, pictures and videos while we were away! Would definitely have her back!!”

“Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!”

About: I have owned fur babies a majority of my life and love caring for them. For the 3 years, I volunteered as an in home foster for a local dog rescue and have experience with anything from the shy/timid personalities to the energetic playful personalities that these babies have. I have my own dogs who welcome other 4 legged visitors and enjoy running around the house and yard playing....but they also enjoy cuddling and nap time. I have a fenced area in my front yard where they can enjoy fresh air and lay in the sunshine. Your pets will be loved on and pampered while here. I have experience in giving medications as I have had to medicated some of the fosters that’s i have had. I do have crates available for those who need it. I work from home so they would not be left alone for long periods and would be taken outside frequently. I currently work from home so the fur babies would not be left for long periods. My daughter lives with me and helps care for the dogs. I have 2 small fenced areas in my yard but I do not leave any dog outside alone. I also have fences and crates available for inside for nights and when I have to run errands.

“Stef is amazing! Truly cares for the critters and goes the extra mile. Huge relief for us while traveling knowing she was taking care of our furballs over the holiday. House was immaculate and exactly how we left it. She’s respectful and communicative and sends lots of pictures. Give her a shot; you won’t regret it!”

About: I am an experienced animal lover who would love to provide whatever attention and care your dog(s), cat(s) or other furry family members need! I have 4 fur babies of my own. I have 3 dogs, 1 chocolate lab mix and 2 medium terrier mixes. My dogs range from a high energy & fetch obsessed to a senior who just wants to take a leisurely stroll and get some cuddles. So, I'm prepared for it all :) I also have a cat that basically runs the show. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the last few years. Most commonly performed dog walking, feeding, kennel clean up, and dog interactions. I'd love to come sit and play with your pet or take them on a nice walk, whatever you (and your pet) prefer! Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I currently work full time so I am available for evening drop-ins and walks between 5pm-10pm. I am available for in-home pet sitting with advance notice. Not currently caring for pets in my home. I would care for a clients pet however they prefer. I currently care for the pets in my home with various enrichment: slow feeders, treat puzzles, long sniffy walks, plenty of love and attention. We also take breaks when over stimulated.

About: I am dedicated to learning your pets needs. I have two dogs of my own one being a labrador mix who is two years old and a Pomeranian that’s 3 years old. I enjoy giving yummy treats and belly rubs! I am gentle and can move slower for pets who are senior. I make sure that during my walks with your stress that they are receiving a full exercise to promote a healthy lifestyle. I make sure to feed on time while also following any dietary needs. Though I’m not a certified trainer, I can still help sitting, staying, crate training, and more. i’m PATIENT. Accidents happen. I can also clean up your pets mess if they had to really go! Overall, one of my top skills is showing up on time, following instructions and making your pet my bestfriend. P.S. Communication is crucial to me. I like to send updates and pictures of your pet when they’re with me so you know that they’re safe and having fun. I recently graduated from college which gives me more than plenty of time to play and care for your pet! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to manage my free hours accordingly and organized. Which helps me make sure that your pets that are on my schedule NEVER EVER forgotten! How I care for my pets in my home or in my clients home is I make sure to mainly prioritize building trust. It is crucial that the first time I’m meeting a pet that they have a clear view of me and what I have on me so that they won’t feel scared or become anxious. My pets are all separated by the end of the day but together during the day. This means that all of my pets have a crate of their own, my pets have also a set schedule where they go out to use the potty and a feeding time schedule that I have hanging on the fridge. I also make sure that my pets are bathed often to avoid build up or becoming matted. Most importantly, I always have toys and treats with me!

“Best sitter around!! She did a great job for my dog Ace and was able to work with last minute things with my animals. Will definitely have her watch our animals again!!”

About: Experienced in animal rescue and show dog handling, providing compassionate care, training, and attention to pets of all breeds, ensuring their well-being and ultimate happiness. I work a full-time Friday-Tuesday (5:45 am–2:15 pm) and offer in-house pet sitting or check-ins as often as every 4 hours outside the above hours. I enjoy taking my dog on long walks and playing in the yard. I’m comfortable crating dogs and administering medication if needed to ensure their care.

About: I love all animals. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and even rodents (not pictured). Of course I have the most experience with cats and dogs. Animals have been part of my family for as long as I can remember. I’ve rescued a baby bird, sheltered and fed litters of kittens and gave them homes, and saved a puppy from the deadly Parvo virus by nursing her back to health. I’ve house trained many cats and dogs as well. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to rescue an animal. Pets are a crucial part of the family, they’re the glue that holds everyone together. They should be loved and cared for the same way as children and you can trust that I will give them the care they need. I am off work Wed, Thurs, and Friday so I can definitely do housesitting then but I can do drop-in visits to walk and feed your dog any time before 11 am or after 9 pm throughout the week/weekend. Unfortunately I will not be caring for other pets in my home because I have a Siberian husky and 2 longhair domestic cats in a very small upstairs apartment. I can, however, provide other services like pet walking, overnight stays at your home, and/or daily check-ins. No matter, I vow to respect your privacy and personal belongings and love your animals as my own.

About: I can give baths if you want. Your dog will have a good friend when you need me. I four dogs now and they are all wonderful. 3 are dogs who grew up without much care and ran around together as a group. The parents are both dead because people are stupid. I am definitely a dog person. I don't care what breed, what age, what activities they like. I am retired so anytime between 10:00am to 10:00pm. I may do daycare once my dogs are cool with it. I'm open for five days. I have a large fenced in yard and the back yard has plenty of shade for warmer days. My dogs stay inside if it's hot.

“Lauren was great with Twix. It was there first time just them being together he was a little shy but she was patient with him and sat with him. She was wonderful and kept us updated on Twix. I felt very comfortable with knowing she really cared about Twix and wanted to give him the best care. She even checked in to see how he was doing after the visit.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors who need extra patience and care. I do daily dog walks for a few families and the family I dog sit for most often actually has six dogs (3 Golden-doodles & 3 Chows), so I’m very comfortable with multiple pets. I also have a German Shepherd at home who has anxiety, so I’m patient and good at keeping pets calm and happy. I’m a second-year nursing student, so I’m used to being attentive, responsible, and caring for others. I’m currently in nursing school, but I only have to go in on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9am to 2:30pm. Outside of that, my schedule is super flexible and I love spending my free time caring for pets! I care for pets like they’re my own! I follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get plenty of attention & playtime. I always keep the home clean, respect your space, and give regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have loved animals all my life. When times are Ruff I know all the good stuff. From dogs to frogs I’ve done it all! I am a teacher in the spring and am free all summer long! Any time you need something just give me a call. Every day of the week! I love all pets. I want to make sure not just the animal is comfortable, but the house owner as well. No animal left behind!

About: I’ve grown up having one or more pets in my household my whole life and then began my journey of taking care of other people’s furry friends at the age of 15. I have a friend who rescues animals and I help her all the time to nurture them back to health and show them the love and care that they deserve. I also have a lot of experience pet sitting for many animals at a time because both of my friends have 10 or more animals that I sit for when they are away. Im also well equip with puppy behaviors. I currently have 6 dogs that I have raised and taken care of since birth. They are now all 5 years old. I have also helped take care of many litters of puppies through friends and family. I also have experience with elderly dogs who have trouble getting around, and trouble maker dogs like my own that bring chaos. I am a college student and I will be going to school on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s for 3 hours. On Saturday 11-7 and Sunday 1-7 I potentially work and I n Sunday’s I attend Church from 11-12:30. If I’m sitting at your home and I’m out of the house, just know that your pet is my first priority, and will be taken care of prior to and after all or any activities that I may have going on. I have 6 dogs and they are not all social so I know how to act in any stressful situation and how to accommodate to their needs. I have experience with pets who don’t get along with each other or who are not as social with humans and I know how to detect animal language to help protect them, myself, and others around them. Their safety and happiness is my biggest priority. I am a very clean, organized and planned person so I love to know all the do’s and don’t’s when coming into a new home. I love to send pictures, videos, and updates of your furry friend(s) to ensure your comfort and happiness while they are in my care. I have always had a strong passion to love and care for all animals, even the wild and crazy ones. I hope that comforts you in knowing that your fur babies are in safe hands and loved.

About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid and I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was 16. If I dog sit I normally like to leave the house looking better than when I got there. Coming home to a cleaner house is always nice. I love animals more than you will ever know. I have such a strong passion, love, and interest for all animals. That is why I want to own my own animal rescue once I get out of college. If you leave your pets with me then just know that they will be loved unconditionally and taken care of beyond expectation. I hope you can trust me with your loved ones🐾 I am currently a college student and I have class on Monday and Tuesday from 11am to 2:30pm. The rest of my week is free besides church on Sundays and Wednesdays. I have a huge back yard with 8 dogs and two cats. Unfortunately some of my dogs were not socialized enough and they are not that friendly with other dogs. That is why I would rather take care of your pets from your home. I have also dog sat enough to know that when you bring a dog into a new environment they can become extremely stressed and anxious and they might not eat for days or until there owner comes home. That is why I feel it is better and easier to watch and care for your animals from your home. It will be easier for them and me.

“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter so needless to say, I was a little nervous. However, Donna immediately made me feel at ease. She is honest, professional, and easy to work with. She took great care of my cat, was respectful of my home, and made this a great experience for all of us. I highly recommend her for both cats and dogs!”
