“The experience I had boarding my Abby (golden) with Mariah was truly a great experience. You're always nervous to leave your Fur Baby with someone new. She put me at easy in the first two minutes. She loves and cared for my dog like it was her own. My baby was happy, happy to see me, but she didn't want to leave! It was funny! Thank you Mariah, I really appreciated her fitting me in like she did. Great Experience!”
“My two furbabies had a great time with Michelle. She sent pictures during the stay, and let us know how they were eating and getting along with her furbabies. We will definately be using her again.”
“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“Amber and her family were amazing caregivers for my boy Kane. When my regular sitter was unavailable she came through for me and was wonderful. The way she and her boys interacted with Kane was great! We will definitely schedule again.”
“Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing with my dog! She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I could tell he was having a great time and was well loved and cared for. Nancy and Butch are lovely people and I highly recommend their services!!”
“Mar is great to Molly. Even when a family emergency came up and I had to extend the visit unexpectedly, Mar was super helpful and accommodating. Molly gets excited when we pull up to the house, so I know she is in good hands and has a great time when she's there.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life growing up. Anywhere from small, medium, to large dogs. I’ve had mini dachshunds, Dalmatians, St. Bernards, and German Shepherds. Currently right now I have a 3 Golden Retrievers named Willie, Waylon, and Hank. I also have a cat named Cash! I current work full time Monday-Thursday. I can be available later evenings if needed, we would just have to work things out in advance. I am generally free Friday-Sunday for any needs as well but also with notice. We have a 2 acre yard that my pups are free to roam via a underground fence. But we also have a lead for my moms dogs when she brings them over to play. We have a big house with a good sized living room and kitchen where all of my pups play as well when we have to be inside.

About: I've walked dogs, as well as watched them while the owners were away since I was little. I don't currently own any larger animals, but I have always handled them. Any dog wouldn't be an issue I currently could fill pretty much any need! I have a few hours of every day that I am busy, but I can be available pretty much anytime! I have an unfenced in yard that I would keep the dog leashed within, but I also know many of the dog friendly hiking trails within the Altoona area.

About: I am home a significant amount during the summer and can provide all the love you would if you were home with your own pet! I know it is difficult to leave them behind, and will make sure they have all the love they need. I am a caring, dog-loving person with children. Your pet will be treated like one of our own. I do have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves making new furry friends. As a teacher, I'm home all summer, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving environment where your furry family member can feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Days and times will vary August-June as we head back to school. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I can provide ample yard space and wooded areas both behind and on the side of our home. I do live on a side country road and do not receive a ton of traffic. I will also walk or use a tie out as requested.

My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.

About: I’ve had experience caring for pets since I was 9, and I’ve always loved cats. I understand that cats need patience, calm energy, and respect for their space. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats attention when they want it without overwhelming them. Every cat has a different personality, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure their cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away.

I have taken care of my own animals and others over my life time. I'm back in the Altoona area after the military. I was also known as the "crazy cat lady" during my most recent military deployment to the Middle East.

I update my schedule regularly for days I will not be available. I have a cat with chronic UTIs. I spend the extra time and money to make sure she is taken care of so I will make sure your animals receive the same care and love she does.
About: (Disclaimer…We are licensed, if any sitter on this platform is not they are operating illegally and there is no way to insure your pup is being cared for appropriately) CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK “Happy pups stay with us” This isn’t a side job, this is my life! Your pup isn’t left alone. I am home all day everyday for your pup to have a happy stay while you’re away! I am passionate about Pups and want your fur baby to have as close to home experiences as they can while there here. They will have water and food 24/7. Frequent potty breaks. Most importantly non-stressful environment. I’ve worked at kennels and most dogs are scared, it’s loud, they are caged for 95% of there stay, with very few/short potty break and left unattended. This is not what I would want for my pups and I’m here for yours to not have to have this experience either. I do have two fur baby’s of my own who will be there to be your pets best friend while your away (fun.loving Husky/Gentle Great Pyrenees ). I want to make a place you know when there here there family! In the event they do not fancy my pups there is no need to worry I have accommodations for this too! Please give me a call with any questions or concerns you may have. I know how special your pet is to you as mine are my baby’s and I want to have a place for you to feel they are getting the care they deserve! Get up at 6am potty and feed. Fed again around 3:30pm or I can follow any instructions on feeding you prefer. Around 8:30pm we are in for the night. We play all day. I care for your pets the same as I do my own. They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with the others and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and the other won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. Theirs is beds for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Best case they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! All pups must have up to date rabies vaccination with proof prior to their stay. This is for the safety of your pup and others and is also required by law. As I said before this isn’t a side job we are a fully established in home boarding/daycare pup paradise! I want to stress that because I’m not just someone who thought I like dogs, let me sign up and watch them. It takes yrs of experience to understand these amazing companions and how to care for them when placed in unfamiliar environment. We want them to thrive, because so comfortable they can’t wait to come back. Enjoy there stay so they have happy memories forever. Yes we all have pups but when placing them in an environment they are not used to, I know I would only allow someone fully knowledgeable of all aspects to ever watch my pup. Happy Pups Stay with Us…look us up, your pup will thank you for it! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.
About: While most of my professional experience is with dogs through kennel/daycare work, I’m also comfortable caring for cats and happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Jenna took great care of my cat! She was punctual, communicative, responsible, and I felt safe leaving my cat in her care. I came back home to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Jenna! ☺️”
“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”

“Michelle was so flexible with us. We had a tight schedule which led to delays - both during drop-off and pick-up. She was very understanding and accommodating! She also treated our little doggo well but keeping him in his comfort zone (away from other dogs).”
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.
“Rocky had a great time with Mariah! Rocky was cared for like he was in his own home! Mariah is great to have when we are unable to be at home with Rocky! Thank you for all of your help and care!”

About: I have taken care of a reactive dog for 2 years and have been dog sitting since age 12. I have loved every minute of it and cannot wait for more opportunities to do so! I work from home 7am-3pm every day. My house is spacious and comfortable. Working from home every day allows me to have free time to let the special pup I luckily get to watch out into the yard to play and give them the attention they need whenever they need it. I have all the necessities for pet care at my own home such as a bissell pet vacuum for messes, dog bowls, a sand box for digging, treats… etc. I have a large yard and a deck behind the house so they can have ample outdoor time.
About: There wasn’t a time a golden retriever wasn’t apart of my family. Through a lifetime of love I’ve learned the secret language of our canine/feline companions. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs in their most vulnerable moments, I’ve dealt with the chaos of training two energetic puppies at once, and everything in between. My pet care experienced does not stop at dogs and cats, I have personal experience with rodents, rabbits, fish, bearded dragons you name it. I work part time so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of flexibility to best accommodate any clients needs. I am available all day Monday and Tuesday, and after 2 pm Wednesday-Sunday I believe that animals deserve the same respect and care as humans, if not more. With my services, you can expect meticulous attention to your pet’s needs, including preparing and serving meals according to their specific dietary requirements and schedules. To keep your pet stimulated and happy, I will engage them in physical activities and playtime tailored to their individual energy levels. Additionally I can perform light household tasks related to pet care, such as cleaning litter boxes and maintaining feeding areas. Basic grooming, including brushing and bathing as needed, is also part of my commitment to ensuring your pet’s well-being.
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful for my dog, Toast! They were super accommodating and I would definitely let them watch Toast again! Toast had a great time and I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Suzanne for the day! :)”
About: I have cared for many different types of animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, bunnies, rats and hamsters. Fostered and lived with many dogs. I currently have dogs and cats. They are the joy of my life especially since the kids (and grand dogs) have grown and moved. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs and 2 cats to keep the fur guests company. Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.
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.

“Deanna was great! She was able to take Mishka within 2 days notice and met with us first to make sure Mishka felt comfortable in her home! If we visit PA again with family we will use her and I will let any friends in my hometown know how great she was!”
“Watson had a great experience with Mike and his crew. I was looking for a sitter to keep watch of Watson for an afternoon while I explored the mountain bike trails at Raystown lake. Mike lives super super close to the trailhead so that was very convenient. He took great care of Watson giving him multiple walks and kept me informed with regular updates. Will definitely be reaching out to Mike next time I am back to the area.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Thankfully, growing up we had multiple dogs and cats which allowed me to experience the love a pet can bring. I couldn’t imagine a life without having pets. With experience pet sitting before, I know that each home comes with different routines and scenarios. I’ve had to train plenty of puppies, given medicine to elderly pets, and always enjoy building a relationship with a furry friend! I currently work full-time from home as a Content Manager. I have a moderately flexible schedule if need be, but for the most part, I’m looking for some long- term options so I can build a working relationship with the pet and owner. However, whenever my schedule allows I’m always open to pick up an overnight here and there! I treat each pet that enters my home as I treat my own! Pets are family, they deserve to be treated as such! Comfort is key in keeping my pet and other pets happy in the home.
“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!!!”

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.

About: I have always had a special bond with dogs and all animals. I respect them and their feelings. They are amazing creatures and should be taken care of as one of our own family members. Because honestly, they are. I will treat your fur babies as my family.

I would like to brighten their days with a visit, a walk, a play, or a nice belly scratch. I know all dogs/animals have different personalities and will want to do different things, and I will be there to do all of those things with them. Dogs always have and always will make my heart smile.

I have a small older dog and 2 younger cats that are very friendly. I have a big yard. Or if you prefer I will come to your house if your fur babies would feel more comfortable.
“Kayla was amazing from the very beginning. From responding to my request almost immediately, to setting up a meet and greet, and then walking my baby girls(70lb golden retriever) LOL. Meeting up with Kayla, I felt at ease right away and she was so sweet and kind with both me and Rosie. Rosie loved her right away. Kayla sends pics after the walks and lets me know how rosie did. Her schedule is very flexible and she was able to accommodate a last minute request. I would recommend having Kayla taking care of your fur baby. I am very happy with her!!!!”

I can walk, feed, play, and do anything you may need to ensure that your pet is well taken care of while you are away. I am currently working part time, which entails that I have a very flexible schedule and am able to make anything work. I am willing to sit at my own residence and yours. I also have experience with house sitting. I am so excited to get to work caring for your furry friends! My schedule is very flexible which means I have plenty of time to spare on making sure your pets are okay and taken care of. I do work mostly in the evenings, only about 2-3 days a week but am never there past 8pm. I am essentially open from morning until evening nearly all day every day. My backyard is fenced off and has two levels ensuring that your pets have plenty of room to run and play! I also have a dog of my own to make sure your pet has someone to play with. My house is very secure and has lots of friendly neighbors with their own pets who would love to play and meet yours. I also live with 3 other people, which means your dog is never left unsupervised for too long.
About: I have worked with horses, many different sizes of dogs, and I am an animal lover at heart. We’ve got your tail covered all day. So I am free almost all the time and it would be me and my mom but mainly me and I have worked with many size and ages of dogs. I always keep an eye on the surroundings of where I walk the dogs and I make sure they’re safety is number one along with mine I don’t let them out of my site and I’m a very cautious person
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had experience caring for pets since I was 9, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always make sure to follow instructions carefully, keep pets safe, and give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and different routines, and I try to be calm and gentle so pets feel comfortable around me. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to make time for drop-ins, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners are away. I’m responsible with schedules and always make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I keep things simple and consistent. I follow the pet’s usual routine, including feeding, water, litter box care, walks, and playtime. I’m respectful of the home and make sure pets are comfortable while their owner is away.
About: (Disclaimer…We are licensed, if any sitter on this platform is not they are operating illegally and there is no way to insure your pup is being cared for appropriately) CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK “Happy pups stay with us” This isn’t a side job, this is my life! Your pup isn’t left alone. I am home all day everyday for your pup to have a happy stay while you’re away! I am passionate about Pups and want your fur baby to have as close to home experiences as they can while there here. They will have water and food 24/7. Frequent potty breaks. Most importantly non-stressful environment. I’ve worked at kennels and most dogs are scared, it’s loud, they are caged for 95% of there stay, with very few/short potty break and left unattended. This is not what I would want for my pups and I’m here for yours to not have to have this experience either. I do have two fur baby’s of my own who will be there to be your pets best friend while your away (fun.loving Husky/Gentle Great Pyrenees ). I want to make a place you know when there here there family! In the event they do not fancy my pups there is no need to worry I have accommodations for this too! Please give me a call with any questions or concerns you may have. I know how special your pet is to you as mine are my baby’s and I want to have a place for you to feel they are getting the care they deserve! Get up at 6am potty and feed. Fed again around 3:30pm or I can follow any instructions on feeding you prefer. Around 8:30pm we are in for the night. We play all day. I care for your pets the same as I do my own. They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with the others and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and the other won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. Theirs is beds for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Best case they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! All pups must have up to date rabies vaccination with proof prior to their stay. This is for the safety of your pup and others and is also required by law. As I said before this isn’t a side job we are a fully established in home boarding/daycare pup paradise! I want to stress that because I’m not just someone who thought I like dogs, let me sign up and watch them. It takes yrs of experience to understand these amazing companions and how to care for them when placed in unfamiliar environment. We want them to thrive, because so comfortable they can’t wait to come back. Enjoy there stay so they have happy memories forever. Yes we all have pups but when placing them in an environment they are not used to, I know I would only allow someone fully knowledgeable of all aspects to ever watch my pup. Happy Pups Stay with Us…look us up, your pup will thank you for it! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.

“The experience I had boarding my Abby (golden) with Mariah was truly a great experience. You're always nervous to leave your Fur Baby with someone new. She put me at easy in the first two minutes. She loves and cared for my dog like it was her own. My baby was happy, happy to see me, but she didn't want to leave! It was funny! Thank you Mariah, I really appreciated her fitting me in like she did. Great Experience!”

“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
