Doggy Day Care in Lucerne Mines

“Lydia is AMAZING. She’s soooo sweet to us and our pups. I can tell she truly enjoys what she does and my dogs have never came back from daycare so happy and exhausted as they do with her. She is everything we hoped for in a sitter. There is not a doubt in my mind that she treats our dogs the same as she treats her own. I love the updates she gives us during the day and how she lets us know how everything went. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for dog care, I wish there were more people in the world like Lydia.”

“I was definitely a nervous new mom dropping Rosie off with someone I just met but Jordan was kind, patient, and thorough. She is also extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Rosie had the best day on her farm!”

“Marcy is beyond wonderful! She’s so caring and I can tell Porter has a good time while he stays with her and her dog Charlie. He comes home completely I can’t seem to keep him awake which is amazing because he’s just a 3 month old puppy and is typically a wild child in the afternoons! Marcy was so kind to take him on at a late request and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my little man. She made me feel so comfortable immediately! If I could give her more than five stars I would! She is so kind and I can guarantee she’d treat anyone’s pup like the special little fur ball they are :)”

“Anita is great! She took great care of my dog and I definitely will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend Anita!”

“Craig and Lisa were very responsive, and hosted Molly for daycare on a holiday (Labor Day), which I unfortunately had to work. They have a nice, clean house, and a great yard which dogs would love. They kept me updated and my dog seemed to have a great time, as she came home and completely crashed. Keep up the good work and we'll see you again soon!”

“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant dropping off my baby boy…however Caitlin made me feel right at ease! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and I could tell Biscuit was having a great day! If I am ever needing a sitter in the Johnstown area again, I would definitely contact Caitlin again!!!”

About: I've had a pet my whole life, my biggest passion is animals, I always took in dogs and cats when I was a child, I took care of many different breeds of dogs and cat. Everyone I know trust me the most with their pets. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time for your furry friends and I'm flexible. I can do any day of the week I bathe, feed, walk, play, soothe, care for my pets at home and can do the same with my clients. If your dog has anxiety I know how to soothe, I'm very understanding of animals and their behavior I will always put your pet first

About: I’m that lady you invited to the barbecue but will find her socializing in the corner with your pet! I have farm, kennel, pet store, dog training, as well as over 35 years of personal pet care experience. I am dog and cat First Aid/CPR certified, can give medications with ease, administer shots, and have disabled and geriatric pet care experience. Pawsitively Faithful Pet Sitting is my in-home business, but my primary job is also a work from home career with UPMC. That being said, I am always here for your furry friend's around the clock care 😊! Currently I have a Boston Terrier named Brixy, and he is my joy. He’s very well behaved but because he is special needs (medically speaking), he remains in my office when we have any pet visitors stay with us. There’s never a shortage on love or playtime in this house! I keep plenty of extra supplies on hand (bowls, toys, treats, etc) and have an "air-tight" fenced in yard along with tie out cables of all different sizes to accommodate your pet if you have extra concern and wish me to use one. I can not even begin to imagine how nerve wracking it must feel to leave your pet in the care of a complete stranger and for that I can empathize! Words can never express the level of my reassurance to you that your little one will be looked after as if they were my very own in every protective and motherly manner possible. ***Please understand, this is a legitimate and legally run pet sitting business for me. In the state of PA, (even if you're only watching one dog), you must have a kennel license and pass a very detailed inspection with the local dog warden. I have passed this inspection but it is a 100% PA State requirement that if your pet stays in my home, you must provide me with a copy of proof of their rabies vaccination or exemption. Without this, I could receive a massive fine if they drop in for a surprise inspection of my home. With a work from home career, I have plenty of time to devote to your pets care in my house. Keeping a perfectly executed schedule for them to go out, exercise, eat meals, snuggle, etc. is very important to me. I have my pet sitting routine down to a science! Generally, when they wake up, I take them out to the fully enclosed, fenced yard and either let them run, or I will use a tie out cable (I have all sizes) if the pet parent likes me to use one for extra safety purposes. Then we eat breakfast and settle in so I can start my work from home job. Throughout the rest of the day I will take breaks to let them outside every couple of hours, and spend time giving them love, attention, and playtime. My shifts end at 2:30pm, and depending on the weather, we usually go outside to play fetch or just enjoy some sunshine. Around 5 or 6pm, they get dinner and we start to wind down for the evening with some relaxation time watching Turners Classic movies 😄. There is another potty break before bed around 8 or 9pm at which point we usually call it day.

About: I've cared for two of my own dogs and cats for 20 years of my life (since I was 5.) I've given medicines, always walked, house trained, played with and loved on them. I'm currently a stay at home mom of a 7 year old boy so I'm typically always home every day of the week. I'm looking for any kind of schedules and am very flexible. Hoping to make some money for my son. I have a good sized 2 bedroom townhouse, a front and back yard, will take them on daily walks/runs and they can always play with my son and who also adores all 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 had dogs of my own since I was 12 and have house sit/walked/let out my friends and families dogs for years. I love taking care of them like they are my own as I don’t have any pets living with me now. I don’t work all summer long. I travel most weekends but am available during the week all day. I am off of work until August 1 and then my schedule doesn’t allow for much flexibility. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. There is plenty of room for dogs to use the bathroom and go for walks on the leash. I allow pets on my furniture but if that’s not what you do in your household I will implement the same rules you use. No matter how friendly your dog is, I won’t allow other dogs to approach since I don’t know many of the dogs in my complex. I do not hit dogs as a reprimand at any time so please tell me what methods you’re comfortable with me using instead if needed. Honestly, if there’s anything specific you can feel free to ask for it or question me if you need!
