Dog Sitting in Latrobe

About: I have extensive experience with a wide variety of dog breeds. I have been a veterinary technician for 9 years. I also foster for a local rescue and have pets of my own. Dogs all have unique temperaments and personalities which is what makes caring for them so much fun! I am currently employed, but looking for a change of pace. I will never accept a job for care that would conflict with my schedule. Your pets are the priority for me. Keeping your pet on a routine as close to the one you have for them is my ultimate goal. It can be stressful for them and for you to be apart. The more stability I can provide, the happier they will be.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have taken great care to ensure they are as happy as can be! I also occasionally dog sit for some senior dogs in my area! I am currently available every day of the week! I am more than happy to take your babies on walks, drop in, or dog sit any day including weekends! At this time I do not have any other pets in my home, I have a huge yard in a quiet neighborhood, if your fur baby needs extra care or attention I am more than happy to provide it!

“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”

I have experience taking care of elderly pets and administering medication. I can provide vet references. I am currently not working so I am available for your pet 24/7. Your pet can curl up in bed and sleep with my other dogs. I have a fenced in yard and 4 gentle dogs. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I've been entrusted with caring for family and friends of family's pets since I was around 15. I started working professionally with animals when I started volunteering with HEAL Animal Rescue and then working with Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley. I am now a Kennel Lead, mainly overseeing front desk operations and cat care, despite that I still work with the dogs at least once a day while I'm in! During my time there, I have learned to properly administer medication (oral, rectal, injection) as well as other medical procedures. I have a genuine passion for animal care and am enrolling in VTI to further expand my career going forward. I'm going to be moving to part time work for school, so I'll be able to make sure I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I have worked with many pets before, including pets with behavioral issues (both big and small). I will make sure to get the time to get to know them and make sure to stick to any existing routines as well as anything else I can do to ensure your pets safety and comfort

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.

About: 🐶 Having been surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for their care. Growing up with dogs and raising my own, Harlow 🐾, from a puppy, has given me firsthand experience in fostering their well-being. My passion for animals extends beyond personal experience—participation in clubs at the Pittsburgh Zoo 🦁 provided me with valuable insights into animal behavior and care, further enhancing my knowledge. Being from Pittsburgh, I am fluent with many resources for me to enjoy with pets. 🐕‍🦺 My pet care journey started in 2014 with my first job at a dog care store on Butler Street, where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. During my internship with the Water Authority in Bradford, PA, I dedicated my lunch breaks to volunteering at the local SPCA 🏠, offering love and attention to animals in need. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated, knowledgeable, and empathetic sitter. 💛 As an alumni M.S. engineering student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for my pets. I can easily fit dog walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine, ensuring each pet gets the attention it deserves. My love for animals and adaptable schedule make it easy to prioritize their well-being. I currently care for two dogs, my mother's and her boyfriend's, and have hands-on experience managing their daily needs. At home, I ensure a safe environment with our fenced-in yard and always prioritize the pets' well-being. For my clients' pets, I’m adaptable to their specific routines, whether that involves feeding, walks, playtime, or creating a comfortable space. Every pet in my care receives love and attention tailored to their unique needs.

“Emma did a wonderful job with my dogs and cats”

About: I have taken care of animals and pets since I was young. Growing up, we had puppies, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. With my children we had guinea pigs, hamsters, and cats. I currently work full time but I have a full hour for lunch to stop by and care for your pets. I can do drop ins or stay at your house, whatever is needed to make sure your pet is safe and loved. I have two cats at my house. They are well loved and follow me everywhere. I make sure they have nutritious food and clean water always. I have helped with dogs, making sure they are safe when out walking. I make sure they are given the right amounts of food and always have water. As a pet lover, I want to give them companionship, love, and security while their "parents" are away.

About: I had a large dog the majority of my life and help friends take care of theirs from time to time. I currently have had my 2 cats for 4 years and also have helped take care of my partner’s large dog for almost a year. I also have watched people’s cats for them as well! I work full time but my schedule is flexible and have plenty of time to take your furry friends on walks, play with them, feed them, and care for them as if they were my own! I care for my pets like they’re family and I would do the same for yours! My cats and dog are treated the same way I’d want to be treated, if not better!

“First and foremost, it was clear from the time of the meet & greet that Natasha really loves cats, both in things she talked about and how she reacted when they peeked out and showed their faces. That was a really important thing for us. Her communication was great from the initial contact, even confirming the meet & greet about an hour ahead of time, and that continued during our time out of town. She asked conscientious questions about things we might or might not want her to do (both with the cats and in general with the house). She included some detail in the Rover Report Card each day so we knew how the cats were doing, whether they were interacting with her, etc. And we got daily photos, even if/when they stayed in hiding. That gave us a great sense of comfort to see their faces each day---like most people, we're very attached. With other places (including a boarding facility), we haven't gotten daily pics, and it really made a world of difference that we did. We're very happy with everything and would absolutely have Natasha check on the girls when we're out of town again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 4. However, at age 12 I got my first dog just for me. I took it very serious and have loved taking care of dogs and cats ever since. I have raised a few dogs and cats of my own since they were young, some since actual birth. I have also taken care of a family dog whom was blind and deaf due to being very old. I currently can’t welcome pets into my own home, but I love caring for dogs so I wanted to still find a way to care for them! On days like now when it’s cold and everyone is busy, I have no issue walking your dog and ensuring they still get the outside experience without you worrying about their safety. I am big on giving regular updates and treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m a part time college student! Pretty much free with all online classes. I occasionally go to the gym but besides that, I’m always home. Think of it like if I’m babysitting someone’s child. It pretty much is for many dog owners, I would know as my dog Nya was very much my daughter lol. But it’s very important that I ask all the necessary questions so I can care for your pet the same way you would. If you give them treated only during certain behavior than I will too. If you only walk them in certain areas then I will too. It’s important to not only make every pet feel safe and comfortable, but to create an experience that doesn’t feel to far from home. That way not only does the pet feel happy, but once they are back to their owner it feels like they never left.

About: I’ve had a handicapped dog my entire life growing up! I currently have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd mix and a 9 month old puppy who both mean the world to me! I love all dogs and have plenty experience with all breeds! I will provide safe and quality care to your fur babies as if they were my own! I am currently in Nursing School and graduate in December, I have a very versatile schedule as I have class only a few days a week and am able to be there to help after or before class! I have a large gated deck and yard with neighbors whose dogs are very friendly as well! I have a crate if needed and various space to play with the dogs as well!

About: I’m a pre-vet student with years of experience in vet clinics, pet sitting, retail pet stores, animal shelters, and general pet care!

For more testimonials feel free to check out my pet sitting business’ Facebook page: Katie’s Pet Care As a full-time student, I try my hardest to fit work into my schedule!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals before. I love and adore animals. Thanks for your time. I’m currently working part-time at a hotel. I would like to be doing pet sitting a few days of the week. I can’t wait :) For my pets at home i have a fenced in section of my home. My home is average sized so good amount of room. We have lots of toys for our doggos

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats in all stages of life. I grew up with dogs in the home and cats around my grandparents' farm. I currently have 2 dogs, one 5 years old and the other 13 years old, as well as a 2 year old cat. All of my animals have been rescues. I have always loved spending time around animals, as they touch a special place in my soul. I currently work full time as a preschool teacher, but I am looking to keep myself busy on the weekends as well as a couple nights a week. Feeding & Hydration I’ll follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule, ensuring they get the proper portion sizes and nutrition. Fresh water will always be available to keep them hydrated. Exercise & Playtime Whether it’s a daily walk for your dog or interactive playtime for your cat, I make sure to engage in activities that will help keep your pets active and entertained. I can also tailor these activities based on their energy levels and preferences. Comfort & Companionship Pets thrive on companionship, so I’ll spend quality time with them. I can offer cuddles, gentle grooming, or just sit with them to make them feel safe and loved. I’ll also ensure they have a comfortable resting place. Maintaining Routine & Security I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so I’ll keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. I’ll also keep your home secure, following any instructions you’ve provided about gates, doors, or safety protocols. Communication with You I know you’ll want to stay updated on your pet’s well-being, so I will send you regular updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how they’re doing.
