“Th best thing about finding Mariah is the comfort level with leaving my Benny with her and the family! The check-ins and pictures are a great aspect of leaving Benny in her care!🙏😊”
“Michelle was wonderful! Diesel came back from his mini vacation extremely happy and comfortable. I call it a mini vacation because he had so much fun! Normally he can be very anxious and nervous when leaving him for an extended stay away from me, but when I picked Diesel up after his stay with Michelle, he was calm, happy, and didn't skip a beat, seeming like he didn't miss me much...which is all I could hope for from a pet sitter! I ended up needing an extra night from the original booking as well, and Michelle was more than willing to accomodate me. You can truly tell they love your babies like their own. I look forward to continuing to use her for all my future bookings! Thanks again, Michelle!”
“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.”
“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!!”

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.
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. I would be will to do whatever your most comfortable with!

About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and have looked after countless pets for family and friends over the years. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy caring for them while their owners are on vacation, at work, or simply need an extra hand. I work full-time from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My home office is set up in a spare bedroom where your pup can relax with me while I work. I also have flexibility to provide walks in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I'm very affectionate with animals and will care for your dog as if they were my own. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through playtime, enrichment puzzles, treats (with your approval), and lots of one-on-one attention. My lunch break is dedicated to spending quality time with them so they get plenty of interaction throughout the day. For overnight stays, your dog will have a comfortable space of their own in our living room. You're welcome to bring their crate, favorite blanket, or bed if that helps them feel more at home. I also have both a small and a large dog bed available to accommodate different sizes. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, though they will sleep in their own designated area rather than in my bed. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I typically schedule walks in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening, with plenty of attention and cuddle time in between. My flexible work schedule also allows me to accommodate boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walks. Whether your pet needs an active day of play or a quiet place to relax while you're away, I'm able to provide consistent care and supervision to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay so I can provide consistent, personalized care. I supervise pets throughout the day since I work from home, ensuring they always have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and unwind. I closely monitor interactions, keep doors and gates secure, and only provide treats or activities that have been approved by the owner. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine, keep your home tidy, and provide updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“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.”

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.
About: Please check out Snuggle Squad on Facebook for photos and more reviews. I have always been an animal lover. Ever since I was little, I have taken care of horses, cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Clients trust me to enter their home, walk/feed their pet and give medications. I am available to your schedule. Just please ask early due to getting booked up quickly. I can do drop ins, all day, or overnights. You will receive daiIy updates and photos! We care for your pet, as you request. Your animals will be loved just as I love mine.

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: 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.

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.

I am and have been an animal lover all of my life and currently I have one dog, Kitzy, an Rottweiler and 8 cats, all of which are rescue pets. We just lost Kitzys brother Zuess. He had a slipped disc and even with surgery, he could not recover. My pets are family and are treated as such. I will treat your furbabies with the utmost of care and love!!! I also follow some dog rescues and try to help get the dogs and cats viewed for foster or adoption. As far as experience goes, I have dog and cat sitted for my family. This includes taking care of elderly dogs and cats with special needs. If you want excellent and honest care for your pets, then I am someone you would benefit by meeting. Please consider my services for your family as I will treat your pets as if they were my own. God Bless, Suzanne I will keep your pet on the same schedule they are accustomed to. I will be very upbeat and positive with your pet to keep the tails a waggling! 😊

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.
About: I have been helping to take care of animals of all kinds since I got my first dog at 5 years old. Now 21, I have over 15 years of animal care experience by helping the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I have my Girl Scout Bronze Award for setting up a pet fair that helped raise awareness and funds for local organizations that benefit animals. I am accustomed to training new pets and ensuring that senior pets get the best care they need. 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 used to run my own successful pet sitting business out of the Hollidaysburg veterinary clinic with the help of Dr. Kendra. I had many happy, recurring clients and really enjoyed working with local families and their pets. I have experience working with all types and sizes of animals (as well as personalities). I currently own 3 German Shepherds, 3 cats and 3 parrots. I look forward to meeting your family and fur babies! I currently work full time but I’m available anytime time on my off days and both before and after work on any other day. I can stay overnight at your home or stop in through the day, depending on your needs. I’m also available for dog walking or other care services such as bathing. I am available for overnight and drop in services as well as pet care services such as walking and bathing. I am very flexible and willing to work with all types of clients in all types of situations.
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: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments through both dog walking and pet sitting. I’m comfortable handling energetic puppies, senior dogs who need a slower pace, and everything in between. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and happy, whether that means sticking to a routine or giving them extra time to explore. As a pet sitter, I provide reliable, attentive care in your home, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I understand how important it is to build trust with both pets and their owners, so I always prioritize clear communication and updates while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

“Th best thing about finding Mariah is the comfort level with leaving my Benny with her and the family! The check-ins and pictures are a great aspect of leaving Benny in her care!🙏😊”
“Michelle was wonderful! Diesel came back from his mini vacation extremely happy and comfortable. I call it a mini vacation because he had so much fun! Normally he can be very anxious and nervous when leaving him for an extended stay away from me, but when I picked Diesel up after his stay with Michelle, he was calm, happy, and didn't skip a beat, seeming like he didn't miss me much...which is all I could hope for from a pet sitter! I ended up needing an extra night from the original booking as well, and Michelle was more than willing to accomodate me. You can truly tell they love your babies like their own. I look forward to continuing to use her for all my future bookings! Thanks again, Michelle!”
“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.”
“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!!”

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 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.
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. I would be will to do whatever your most comfortable with!

I am quick and reliable for any pet care🤍 I currently have evenings and weekends available. Days of the week can vary! I strive to add a balanced, daily routine for any pet owner in need! 🐾 I have nearly 2-acres of yard, outside of town, on a quiet road. I have two large dogs and one cat.

About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and have looked after countless pets for family and friends over the years. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy caring for them while their owners are on vacation, at work, or simply need an extra hand. I work full-time from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My home office is set up in a spare bedroom where your pup can relax with me while I work. I also have flexibility to provide walks in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I'm very affectionate with animals and will care for your dog as if they were my own. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through playtime, enrichment puzzles, treats (with your approval), and lots of one-on-one attention. My lunch break is dedicated to spending quality time with them so they get plenty of interaction throughout the day. For overnight stays, your dog will have a comfortable space of their own in our living room. You're welcome to bring their crate, favorite blanket, or bed if that helps them feel more at home. I also have both a small and a large dog bed available to accommodate different sizes. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, though they will sleep in their own designated area rather than in my bed. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I typically schedule walks in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening, with plenty of attention and cuddle time in between. My flexible work schedule also allows me to accommodate boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walks. Whether your pet needs an active day of play or a quiet place to relax while you're away, I'm able to provide consistent care and supervision to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay so I can provide consistent, personalized care. I supervise pets throughout the day since I work from home, ensuring they always have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and unwind. I closely monitor interactions, keep doors and gates secure, and only provide treats or activities that have been approved by the owner. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine, keep your home tidy, and provide updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. 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: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.
