Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ellwood City
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ellwood City
About: I have owned dogs and cats since 1985 and was on a K9 Search and Rescue team for 18+ years so I have worked with all types of dogs and have a lot of experience with training. I currently work outside the home M-F 9-5 but can work from home upon request. Weekends I am home the majority of the time and spend most of my time hanging out with my own dogs (two labs) I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Angeline and Dave were awesome with Zoey while I was out of town for work. Angeline made sure to send me pictures every day and it was really cool to see my pup getting along with their dog Benson. They were even thoughtful enough to put a little goodie bag with a note into her bag of stuff that I found when I got home! I’m already booked to have Zoey hang out with them again this week and I’m excited to use them again for my work trips in the future!”
“Anthony and Leslie are truly amazing people. They treated Buddy as if he was their own. It makes you feel so at ease and calm knowing your pet is so well taken care off.”
“A Pack LEADER! He takes control so the dogs know who's boss! You can tell all the dogs he is in control of is happy to be part of his pack. He is our go to guy for our GSD from here on out!”
“Heather was easy to talk to and she was able to help us in a last minute pinch. Jake loved being with the kids. I look forward to using her and her family again in the future!”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Stacey did great with our Belle! Her home and surrounding areas were just what we wanted for our dog when we were away. With an extended time away, possible changes in travel because of weather and being the crazy pet parents we are, Stacy was flexible, easy going and sent us sweet pictures of Belle! We would highly recommend and hope to work with her again.”
“Nasiya is a lovely person and an avid dog lover! My young, active dog was with her nearly 3 weeks and I never had a moment of concern. I even felt a little guilty taking my Callie home because she was so happy with Nasiya and her dog Coco. Nasiya sent us lots of updates and I will not hesitate to contact her the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“If there was a rate of 10 stars Briana would get it! The communication is fabulous along with the pictures of our sweet Samoyed with her family and their dog, Duke. We are at easy knowing our sweet boy is being well taken care of when we travel.”
“Maria and her family were terrific with my fur baby. I had only left my little shorkie Lulu with family members prior to this. But we were all going to a family reunion so I found Maria. So glad I did. I was able to enjoy vacation knowing Lulu was being very well taken care of. I got daily updates and pictures as well as reassurance from Maria that Lulu was going great and making new friends. She made my trip stress free and took great care of my girl:).”
“We had great experience with Jena and Nick. Dexter received lots of love, personal attention, playtime, daily walks. Their pet Sebastian was a very nice dog and became great buddy of Dexter in a short time. They have a very nice and clean fenced backyard too. Dexter really enjoyed his time with Jena, Nick and Sebastian… We really appreciate their effort in making sure Dexter felt it at home…Thank you Jane, Nick and Sebastian for being so lovely to Dexter.”
“This was Murphy's second stay with Lindsey and my second review. Murphy had the time of his life. I had a great trip because I knew Murphy was safe, well cared for and most of all HAPPY! Lindsey's home is so warm and friendly. I liked it there as much as he did. I will definitely book with Lindsey every time from now on. I wish I could give 10 out of 5 stars!”
“Erin was amazing. As a first time user of these services, I was hesitant to utilize these services. I also did not want to board him with limited time of attention. Erin was very responsive and provided numerous photos and feedback every single day without prompting. Duke loved his time spent there and would highly recommend utilizing Erin in the future.”
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my baby! I felt very comfortable the entire time Roxy was in her care. Even though it was short notice, Brittany was able to accommodate Roxy with ease. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone in need. Thanks for your help. Roxy and I look forward to another stay with Brittany in the future :)”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“Cheryl provided loving, thorough care to our spoiled 4 year old shishon! She sent pictures and videos and was very easy to coordinate with throughout the process. It definitely gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing he was in a safe, cuddly environment!”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
About: While volunteering for dog rescue for 6+ years, I’ve had the opportunity to foster over 160 dogs of all ages, administer just about every type of medication, and vaccinate 1000’s of dogs traveling to foster and adopter homes I do not work for anyone else. My time will be fully dedicated to your pet along with my own and with as much love I have 3 friendly dogs at home. I have the ability to keep dogs separately in open or closed rooms. Crates or not crated. Once comfortable, they can spend time on the couch and playtime with other dogs with your approval.

“Jocelyn took such good care of our cats while we were away for 2 weeks! She was punctual, and kept us updated on everything, every day. Even sent us daily cute pictures and videos. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Mary did amazing with my pup! She came with things written down with questions/info she may need, was very prepared and serious about was she does, and was very easy to work with when it came to scheduling. Very happy that I got the chance to use her services!”
About: I have taken care of a neighbors two cats for a two week long period, one cat being a kitten and the other being about 3 years old. I have taken care of my aunt’s 3 cats which range from 1 year old to 5 years old. I am a current college student at Kent State University. I am very responsible, trusting, and timely. I understand the love people have for their pets and I will give the same love to them.
About: I had cats from 1985-2010 so I've had plenty of kitty experience, including two cats that were diabetic so I had to administer insulin daily. As for litter boxes, as long as there are enough to makes the cats happy, that's a good thing. I don't currently have a cat because after my last one passed away I turned my focus onto K9 search and rescue so I had a lot of strange dogs visiting which isn't good if you also have cats - it can be stressful for both!
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I’ve also fostered young kittens, giving me experience with feeding, socializing, monitoring their health, and helping them adjust to new environments. I’ve learned safe handling techniques, how to recognize signs that a cat may not be feeling well, and the importance of keeping their environment clean and low-stress. Iv worked with them all whether thats playful, shy, social, non social, kitten, or senior. I’ll be happy to adjust for your cat’s needs.
“Gwynn has been so helpful with the pups since I went back to work. Now she is loved by my kitties too! She’s timely, communicates well, checks all their needs and spoils them with attention.”
“Eden did a wonderful job with Jessie. It was the first time Jessie was alone for so long and it was so nice to know that there was someone visiting that really cared. It took a lot of stress out of my trip. I looked forward to seeing the daily report and pictures. Hopefully Eden will be available for my next trip.”
“Cassandra was WONDERFUL! My cats were happy when I got home, but I could tell that they were lovingly cared for. Cassandra sent me pictures every day and messaged me to see if there was anything else that she could do for me. The house was immaculate when I came home and the sheets were washed. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely caring young lady!”
About: I have extensive experience with animals of all sorts. I grew up with English mastiff dogs, then became a husky lover later on in life. I've owned sheep, goats, cows, horses, chickens, dogs, cats and much more. I grew up on a mini farm and we always had different animals who were raised with lots of love and care. I'm looking to replace one of my part time jobs with taking care of your awesome pets! I will only accept clients if I have the time to give your pets the best care. I am great at following your most detailed instructions for your home. At this time I cannot care for pets in my home because I am not set up for that but will be in the future.
About: I’ve spent the recent summer working with animals both domesticated and wild. Animals are a great joy in my life and I grew up with a wild variety. Also had some experience with Daycare services in 2023! I’m currently working two other jobs along side going to school at RMU but I always find time within my schedule to find time for your animals. I always obey what the rules are for each set of parents when working with animals. Some animals require specific attention while others may just need a friend. Either way, I’m always going to bring the best experience for your animals.
“Rachel is amazing!!! She’s been pet sitting for us for a little over a year now, and we will definitely continue booking with her in the future. Rachel is reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond for our pets.”
About: Everyone on here probably has a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, but few can also say they've bathed, fed, trained, and cared for a variety of other animals such as horses, sheep, chinchillas, ferrets, birds, and even armadillos. I raised a golden retriever and a dozen cats growing up, among other farm animals. I also currently work as a full-time zookeeper at Keystone Safari. I love animals and enriching their lives is my passion, so you can be assured your pet will get the most professional and personal care possible. I work 4 days a week and my schedule varies each week, I will find out my work schedule about a week in advance and do my best to keep my availability updated on here! I am unable to provide in house care right now as I have an apartment but will gladly travel to take care of your pets in your own home.
“Brook-lynn is great to Max. He's always so excited after a stop in visit with her. She communicates well and always sends me photos. I'd high recommend letting her take care of your fur baby!”
About: I've always had at least two dogs at a time since I was kid. I've taken care of my own, family pets, friends pets, and now your pet(s). Anything from just talking to them too bathing, walking, feeding, taking for rides, whatever makes them happy. I'm also very capable of taking care of farm animals so don't hesitate to ask. I work a full time job from 6a-230p so that gives me time in the evening to make sure your pets have what they need. I have a fenced in yard with shade, dog friendly swimming pool, plenty of toys, always have fresh water, and two dogs of my own too keep your pup playing for hours.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ellwood City
“Mary was great! My puppy was a little apprehensive at first but by the end of the day settled right in. She had great communication and sent a few photos during the day and kept me updated to ease my anxiety.”
About: I have a dog of my own. I potty trained her and I also taught her several tricks. She is a very active dog but it's nothing I can’t handle. I walk my dog 3-5x everyday depending on the weather. I also fill their water bowl and food bowl every morning. A few times throughout the week I go to the dog park. Everyone in my home including my dog is friendly when it comes to animals. We will treat yours like family because we are a very dog-loving family.
About: I have had a dog my entire life. When my last one passed, my heart was broken and I haven’t been able to get another one. I watched my daughter’s dog for a year but took her back about a year ago to Idaho. I work from home and it’s very quiet without any four-legged friends to keep me company throughout the day. I would love to help you out by watching your fur baby (& I can’t lie, it would make my heart happy to do so :)) I only book for one owner at a time & I do require a Meet & Greet to make sure I am a good fit for you & your furry friend. I work from home and have the flexibility to take them out for walks as needed. I walk multiple times a day & would love to share that with a dog. Because I work from home, I am easily able to give a lot of love to your fur baby so that you can relax and not worry about a thing. I will love them like they are my own!
“Michael took amazing care of my 2 shih tzus during a full day stay. He was extremely accommodating of our situation and need for temporary short term care. Will certainly use him and his care again!”
“Anthony and Leslie took such good care of our Harley! We received so many pictures throughout the day, so I was confident he was taken well care of. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
About: I have had pets ever since I was a small child: dogs, cats, hamster, gerbils, chinchilla, parakeet, turtles, even a toad that we saved from a freezing winter. We took care of it till spring and then released it. I love animals of all types. Almost, I'm not babysitting your tarantula or pet snake. My dog and cat are loved as if they were my children and your dog will be treated this way as well. We enjoy taking walks and car rides to the dog park in nice days. I never allow my dog outside without me. I am semi-retired and I work from home painting and repairing furniture and working on various crafts. Therefore I am very flexible with my time. I live in a decent sized 2 story home with a large back yard. It is not fenced all the way so my dog is always on a cable or leash. We live to go for walks and to the dog park for extra exercise. My dog is a husky mix and is almost 4 years old. She loves dogs of all sizes.
“Awesome meet n greet! Baxter had a good time at Daycare & Jeannine kept us up to date with pics and info! I’m sure Baxter is looking forward to his extended stay!:)”
“Brittany has been such a blessing for me, giving me such peace of mind knowing my pup is well cared for and happy while I'm gone. I have a rescue lab puppy - full of energy with a bit of anxiety thrown in - and she is patient and kind with him, while making sure he does what he should (or shouldn't)! My pup gets excited as we pull up in the car, and can't wait to get out! Brittany sends updates and pictures throughout the day so I can see how he's doing, and I pick up a happy, tired puppy - I feel fortunate to have found Brittany!”
About: I am a single mom with 20 year old daughter who is away at college. I have a golden retriever who loves to have dog friends visit. Your pet will get the same TLC as my own dog. They will be a part of our family while they are with us. I have a fenced in yard, making it easy for your pet to be safe and get some exercise too. I have been watching dogs in my home for about 25 years. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I am gone on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from about 10-4, so I am almost always home aside from the occasional errands. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I can always run home in the middle of the day if a potty break is needed. Accidents are ok too. Mine has had a few over the years. Your dog will never be in trouble if this happens. You won’t have to worry about your dogs when they are with me. They will be treated like family. I work from home, so your pets will rarely be left alone. When they are, it is just for brief periods for when I running errands. I have a fenced in yard and w very friendly fur baby of my own. I can let them out frequently and always supervise outside even though my yard is fenced. I am able to feed them if they are here during meal time. I will just need to know if your dog is food possessive so I can make sure they eat separately from my dog. Unfortunately I can’t leave your dogs food down throughout the day because my dog will eat it.
“I hate to repeat myself, but I can't say enough great things about Briana. She goes above and beyond in every way each time Libbie visits. During the stay, I receive updates with cute photos and videos about how she is doing. It is obvious my dog is genuinely loved. Her assistant, Duke, is a gentle, big boy. Libbie loves hanging with him. He seems to know exactly what play style to provide. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book with Briana. If you are looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further. BUT know I will be super upset if you take my next booking spot!!”
“My dog Arthur has very specific needs and doesn’t feel comfortable with just anybody. Arthur seemed to settle right in, and take over. He even ate his dinner which he doesn’t do when he’s nervous or anxious. I’m hoping that Chris will be available again sometime when I would like to get out of the house. Extremely pleased!”
“Basil came home tired and worn out. I think she had a good time staying at Heather's with her man, and the kids! Would recommend her! Shes punctual with replying back, very informative, and fairly prices, and she accommodated basil with her special need.”
About: I love furry friends and hope to easily win their hearts. I love getting out and enjoying the outdoors while dog walking just as much as they love taking a stroll ..stopping to smell every bush, tree and stop sign. Plus, I have a large fenced backyard for them to roam freely. We have had dogs all of my life, and currently we have a labradoodle and standard poodle puppy—both loveable and like making new friends. I’m an executive currently working on freelance projects at home which provides me with a flexible schedule. I thought this would be a great way to earn some extra cash - helping other people out while I have doggie time in the neighborhood. Thanks for considering my dog services. I'm home and working part-time so I have flexibility to care for your pets. It is easy to drop by or go for a long walk. I have a fenced in yard and it is easy to provide them with plenty of room to run around in the grass to play and stretch.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 18. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets! I’m a stay at home mama to my amazing kids and two dogs! We have a fenced in yard that they love to play around in and we enjoy walks everyday it’s nice out! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company! I’m very accommodating if your dog needs extra love! I am always home so they won’t ever be left alone for long periods of time.
“Erin was very responsive. I love that she sends update photos of Litte Hay. She has a bigger dog that get along so well with Little Hay, which is a plus since my little girl loves meeting new friends. Will definitely rebook wirh Erin again.”
About: I am a retired teacher with a lot of experience in pet care. I had 2 medium sized dogs and have cared for dogs of family members. I am a recently retired teacher with a ton of free time. I have reliable transportation and a welcoming, clean home. I have a lot of availability. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. I live in a small, quiet neighborhood. I enjoy taking daily walks and would love company on those walks.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ellwood City
About: I’ve had a lifetime of caring for a wide range of animals. Particularly dogs and horses but all creatures welcome. Good with body language and attentive to animals needs. I’m an avid hiker and love taking dogs for walks. 💕 I work part time from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. This flexibility lends itself well to constant care required by puppies, the elderly and other special souls. I rarely host multiple families of dogs at one time (might be some overlap on pickup/drop off days) and prefer to focus on a quality experience for the dog over multiple bookings. If you make a request and I tell you it’s not a good fit at this time, it’s because I have carefully considered the safety and happiness of another client. Your pet will not be left unattended for extended periods of time during the day. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to find quality pet care and pride myself on being dependable and responsive. I take the responsibility of caring for your animal seriously. I live in a rural area on a road with very little traffic. We have two horses, chickens and two dogs on our 14 acre property. I do not have a fenced area and use tie outs for porch lounging and hand walking for potty runs. Your pet will have access to the main floor of my house (no stairs) including furniture (if allowed). The ability to change the floor plan also allows to separate animals if beneficial.
“Jocelyn is WONDERFUL! Super professional and caring. My dog fell in love with her immediately and he is picky about who he trusts. I booked her because of the reviews and they were 100% spot on!”
About: I've been a pet owner since 1990. Would love to help out fun dogs in need of attention. Recently relocated back to my hometown and can't have a pet of my own currently. Someday, again... I've just relocated back to Ellwood City and look forward to opportunities to network with new clients and their pets. I've been inactive for the last few years because of work responsibilities, but I'm really flexible right now until I find permanent work again in the area. I cannot bring pets to my home though. I will follow your instructions to the T. I can't offer in home services where I live, but will do as instructed so that your pet enjoys my visit. Just let me know any do's and don'ts and I can take it from there.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and recently completed a veterinary assistant program through my school’s career and technical center, as well as volunteered at the local animal shelter. Through my training, I’ve learned safe animal handling, recognizing signs of illness, administering basic care, maintaining cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Through my veterinary assistant training, I’ve learned safe handling techniques and how to recognize when a pet may not be feeling well. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident they’re receiving loving, dependable care.
About: I am very flexible with hours. I am an active person and happy to play with your pet and walk them as much as needed. I grew up in the cold, so weather doesn't bother me walking or driving. I also am willing to work with your hours and do what is best for your pet. I also am always happy to send pictures and check in so you know they are living your best life. I can be flexible but I am a morning person so early walks are okay with me. I can also drop in easily through the day with little issue. I grew up with large dogs (lover (100lbs) and 2 cats, and am the current owner of a Bernese Mountain dog who I love. I love all animals but tend to lean to bigger dogs. I like cats butdon't currently own one due to my husband. I am newer to rover but have spent a lot of time caring for my own pets but also dog sitting for others in their homes over the last 7 years.
“Gwynn has been continually reliable and caring! She has been working with us fir years. She always gives detailed reports, numerous photos, and she will give you advanced schedule/notice if she will be unavailable. It is so nice to know she is there for us all!”
“Rhianna was fantastic. Libbie looked forward to her afternoon walks while we were in town. She was prompt, provided great communication, and took some of the best animated pics of Libbie! I plan to connect with her again next time I am back in town.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I am comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and playtime. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a parent of three active boys, I am organized, dependable, and used to caring for others. I have flexibility throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

I respect your home, keep it secure, and will send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and currently have two of my own, so caring for them is second nature to me. They truly become part of the family — honestly, my dogs are like my children. Because of this, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also a Reiki practitioner and sometimes offer gentle animal Reiki, which can help create a calm and relaxed environment for animals. My experience with energy work has helped me become very patient, attentive, and in tune with what animals need. Your dog will be treated like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and care. I am available Friday evening through Monday evening most weekend. I believe this would be a great opportunity to care for animals while helping their owners have an easier time in life when responsibilities arise. I have a very clean, comfortable, trusted home. I watch a dear friend of mines dog once in a while, and while I have 2 dogs of my own, they truly enjoy the company of other dogs that can become their new friends! I will treat your baby as part of my family and show them the most love I can.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with my crazy Siberian Husky. Once teen years hit I started to take care of others pets during their family vacations and out of town trips. I’ve cared for puppies, adult and senior dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, birds, guinea pigs, chinchillas and hermit crabs. Feeding, bathing, walking, giving oral medications… you name it and I’ve likely done it haha My current job consists of teaching the flagline for a marching band in beaver county. This is a 2 hour job 2-3 times a week so I have very open availability throughout the day. I do babysit my 14 year old sister weekdays until about 1pm during the summer so if there is reactivity or apprehension towards children let me know so I can keep her away but otherwise she has grown up around animals and is very good with them if you don’t mind her being with me I offer 2-3 daily check-ins. I will stay up to 1 hour each trip to ensure the pet has plenty of time to run and play and release some energy as well as adequately relieve their bladders/bowels. I also offer overnight stays and giving oral medications. I’m additionally capable of bathing and walking dogs 60 pounds and under.

I've owned sheep, goats, cows, horses, chickens, dogs, cats and much more. I grew up on a mini farm and we always had different animals who were raised with lots of love and care. I'm looking to replace one of my part time jobs with taking care of your awesome pets! I will only accept clients if I have the time to give your pets the best care. I am great at following your most detailed instructions for your home. At this time I cannot care for pets in my home because I am not set up for that but will be in the future.
About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything
About: Hello there! My name is Rachel and I've been a pet owner and sitter for many years. I currently have cats AND dogs and they are all amazing! My dogs are named Norbert and Newt, and they are both some big ole lovers. Growing up without pets in the house, I was always trying to bring friends' pets home! I also dog-sat for one particular family in high school and I loved it. Pet-sitting for me is all the joys of owning a dog only on a part-time basis. I would love to help you and your furry family out in your time of need! Be it for vacation, a new baby, work, or anything else, I can fill in. My longest running regular client used me nearly every weekend in good weather so she could skydive! This lasted almost two years until I moved out of the area. She had 5 hounds and a puppy hound! (I actually delivered the puppies. 😳) I have somewhat flexible availability to take dogs on walks, visit your home, or check in on your pet. I am also available some nights and weekends to dog sit in your home or bring your pet to my home. I have my basement set up for my dogs to have the run of it - it is the coolest part of the house and completely dog friendly! My dogs hang there while I'm at work, then we go for walks as soon as I get home. I would love to meet you and your pet in person to determine if we'd be a good fit! I currently work for the Beaver County Humane Society and I am loving it! My schedule is somewhat flexible, but I always have time for new clients and meet and greets. My pets get the best I can for them, and I feel like I work mostly so I can pay for their food and supplements, lol. I try to walk and play with them as much as they can, and my cats have their own bedroom with a baby gate so they can get away from the dogs if they want to.
About: Everyone on here probably has a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, but few can also say they've bathed, fed, trained, and cared for a variety of other animals such as horses, sheep, chinchillas, ferrets, birds, and even armadillos. I raised a golden retriever and a dozen cats growing up, among other farm animals. I also currently work as a full-time zookeeper at Keystone Safari. I love animals and enriching their lives is my passion, so you can be assured your pet will get the most professional and personal care possible. I work 4 days a week and my schedule varies each week, I will find out my work schedule about a week in advance and do my best to keep my availability updated on here! I am unable to provide in house care right now as I have an apartment but will gladly travel to take care of your pets in your own home.

About: I have owned dogs and cats since 1985 and was on a K9 Search and Rescue team for 18+ years so I have worked with all types of dogs and have a lot of experience with training. I currently work outside the home M-F 9-5 but can work from home upon request. Weekends I am home the majority of the time and spend most of my time hanging out with my own dogs (two labs) I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).
“Anthony and Leslie are truly amazing people. They treated Buddy as if he was their own. It makes you feel so at ease and calm knowing your pet is so well taken care off.”
“A Pack LEADER! He takes control so the dogs know who's boss! You can tell all the dogs he is in control of is happy to be part of his pack. He is our go to guy for our GSD from here on out!”
“Heather was easy to talk to and she was able to help us in a last minute pinch. Jake loved being with the kids. I look forward to using her and her family again in the future!”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Stacey did great with our Belle! Her home and surrounding areas were just what we wanted for our dog when we were away. With an extended time away, possible changes in travel because of weather and being the crazy pet parents we are, Stacy was flexible, easy going and sent us sweet pictures of Belle! We would highly recommend and hope to work with her again.”
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“If there was a rate of 10 stars Briana would get it! The communication is fabulous along with the pictures of our sweet Samoyed with her family and their dog, Duke. We are at easy knowing our sweet boy is being well taken care of when we travel.”
“This was Murphy's second stay with Lindsey and my second review. Murphy had the time of his life. I had a great trip because I knew Murphy was safe, well cared for and most of all HAPPY! Lindsey's home is so warm and friendly. I liked it there as much as he did. I will definitely book with Lindsey every time from now on. I wish I could give 10 out of 5 stars!”
“Erin was amazing. As a first time user of these services, I was hesitant to utilize these services. I also did not want to board him with limited time of attention. Erin was very responsive and provided numerous photos and feedback every single day without prompting. Duke loved his time spent there and would highly recommend utilizing Erin in the future.”
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my baby! I felt very comfortable the entire time Roxy was in her care. Even though it was short notice, Brittany was able to accommodate Roxy with ease. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone in need. Thanks for your help. Roxy and I look forward to another stay with Brittany in the future :)”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
About: While volunteering for dog rescue for 6+ years, I’ve had the opportunity to foster over 160 dogs of all ages, administer just about every type of medication, and vaccinate 1000’s of dogs traveling to foster and adopter homes I do not work for anyone else. My time will be fully dedicated to your pet along with my own and with as much love I have 3 friendly dogs at home. I have the ability to keep dogs separately in open or closed rooms. Crates or not crated. Once comfortable, they can spend time on the couch and playtime with other dogs with your approval.
“Jeannine is always so polite and great at communicating. With each picture or video we got I could tell Opall was feeling more comfortable and enjoying herself. I will book again. Thanks!”
“Michelle and Sami were amazing!! They took great care of our very active Weimeraner puppy and it was obvious that he was showered with affection by their family. They're very experienced in training/caring for different breeds, and their Goldens were great pals to our dog. We are so grateful for their help and care!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
