House Sitting Johnstown

About: My momma hated animals while growing up, and you know why? Shedding, mortal enemy of every pet owner. We changed her mind and finally convinced her to adopt a dog when I turned 19, and wouldn’t you know it, she also fell in love. Now, we’ve got 4 dogs in the family. Life happened and I had to move from AL to PA. It definitely broke my heart that I’d also part ways with the family doggos. But dont worry, folks, I found a way to bring some animals back into my life. My partner and I got a playful kitty and fluffy corgi! If you dont know how it feels to have a cat purring on your lap while your doggo is snoring by your feet, you haven’t lived. 🥲😂 Life’s just way better with animals! On the weekdays, I work remotely, and I’m available for boarding check in after 1 pm and after noon during weekends. Please let me know if there are medications or other special care for your babies. Our house is fenced and has a mini fence wherein your doggo and mine could play together or do their business. A crate is also available if necessary.

About: Who can love your little ones as you do? I was licensed for child daycare in Colorado for over 10 years. We are animal lovers and guardians of two little dogs. Adults who love and understand the needs of little fur babies. We would love to get to know your special one too. Please make sure you add all of the info for the vet you use. All dogs will need to be current on vaccines and flea and tick care. Please keep in mind when you pay for one day it covers you for 24 hrs. So if you bring your baby at 6 a.m. you will be covered till 6 a.m. the following day. Any hours after that is $6.00 an hour. If you book for more than a weekend, I can be flexible (1 to 2 hrs) due to flight delays, etc. Thank you! I'm currently not working outside home so no matter what your little ones will have someone here at all times. I feed everyone seperately and we walk when weather permits. We have potty pads available for comfort in between outings. I allow access to my whole home and will enjoy a walk once a day or more weather permitting. We have a great time individually and daily with all our little ones.

About: My wife and I have loved animals our whole lives. As a kid, I was always bringing strays home or helping the neighbors take care of thier pets. My wife used to walk dogs for extra money as a kid and grew up in a household where her family fostered dogs. We both like to think we have a natural gift, especially with dogs. We firmly believe that dogs need stimulation and socialization, which s in part why we decided to join Rover. Our German Shepherd, Luna, LOVES other dogs and is always looking for a playdate. We take her to the dog park nearly daily and she also gets 2 healthy 1-1.5 hr walks a day, one around the neighborhood and 1 at one of the many walking trails in the area. We also have a fenced in yard. When you choose to leave your furbaby with us, you can be assured they will not be bored! We run our own business and make our own schedules which allows us to work our schedules around caring for animals. We also work as a team so no matter what, one of us is almost always available. We have a two family house that was converted into a single family. There are plenty of rooms with plenty of pet gates so if needed, our cats can escape to a dog free area and if for whatever reason, your dog wants to be alone, they can. We have a fenced in yard. We only use it for in between walk potty breaks or if the dogs get a little rambunctious, we will take them outside and throw the ball around or watch them chase each other. We do not leave them unattended.

“Carolyn S was very sweet! Sami loved her! It was nice to be able to get out for a night of fun! Thank you! Definitely will use Carolyn S again!”

“From start to finish, working with Wade was a pleasure. Not only is Wade professional, courteous, and communicative, he also has a natural patience and kindness to animals. We booked him for a week for to stay at our house to watch our dogs and cats and he gave detailed reports of their well-being every day, including photos. There wasn't a moment that we didn't feel comfortable using Wade's service and will be happy to book him again soon!”

“As soon as I met Joudi, I felt so much better about leaving my two cats for a week. She took great care of them, and I especially want to thank her for the love and attention given to my girl who has a brain tumor.”

About: Being a child of a veterinarian, i have a life time experience understanding how to understand and take care of a variety of animal especially dogs and cats. I have a lot of patience when it comes to puppies tho I do not have experience in training. But I have experience in specialized senior care. I do have some recorded vet assistant qualifications, I am able to administer many medication up to and including SQ fluids with confidence. It depends on the temper of the animal but I am willing to do basic grooming like nails, basic bathing and brushing. I am not a professional groomer but I have patience, skills and the love to keep animals clean and happy. I am an undergraduate student who is balancing classes and a part time job. Night time, mid day if possible, and morning check ups are going to be a constant schedule and easy for me to get to without much negotiation. Longer to overnight stays are possible but I have to disclose that it would be difficult to stay 100% with the animal especially during the week. I personally live in a small apartment with a cat so I would prefer to work out of clients homes if possible. I think it is important for any animal to feel comfortable, being in their own home would be the most comfortable environment for a pet when the owners are away. If at a clients house, I will follow what the animals personal schedule. For an example, if they get up at 7am every day and go outside to do their business, I will be there at 6:45 to make sure they go out on time. My first priority is the animals comfort and health and I believe that can be achieved with understanding how their life is when the owners are home. Routine is important to animals, even more important for senior animals.

About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. 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. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.

About: I’ve watched multiple of my family members dogs, ranging from big to little dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I also enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood or to the park. I’m currently taking care of my grandma so I don’t really have a set schedule. So I’m always willing to help out. I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.

“Laura did an AMAZING job taking care of my (multiple) pets while I was out of town for 5 days. It is clear that she is a true animal lover! She kept in touch with photos and updates throughout her stay at my home and went above and beyond in making sure they had plenty of attention and company while I was away. My dogs (and cats) loved having her around and they will be super excited to see her the next time I book her for sitting. 5 out of 5 stars!”

Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for .

“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”
