About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.

“They are great. I need someone to let my dog out in a short notice and they were able to do it. They are really good with my dog. I last added a time and they were able to do that too. I got updates every time they were with my dog. I would definitely recommend to others!”

About: I have experience taking care of big dogs, small dogs, big cats, small cats, chickens, lizards, rabbits, and fish. I have experience looking after pets of friends and family while they're out of the house for the past 5 years. I have a great deal of patience in training and caring for animals. I'm currently available on weekends, with Fridays most preferred. I work fulltime Monday through Thursday so at the moment those days are going to remain unavailable. I believe respect for animals, owners, and their environment to be super important. I adhere to any rules and guidelines when entering a client's home and I work to provide my client's pet with my utmost attention and full energy. I am down for taking pets on walks, playing with them till they wear themselves out, feeding and cleaning up after them, and anything else they might need.

About: I am very familiar with the bird dogs breeds (pointers and flushers) having four (English Pointers) myself. Also familiar with the giant breeds as I have a Newfoundlander and the small breeds as I have a Boston Terrier. I have always had dogs in my life. I have owned as many as eight dogs and all my dogs live in the house with me and are well behaved. I'm currently not working so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s) and give them the attention they need and deserve. I will treat your pets as though they are one of mine and will follow any instructions you may have on how to care for your pet.

About: I grew up with all dogs and my parents weren’t always around to take care of them so I would be home and help out with them, love, and raise them. I have always been the friend to call when they needed help with training dogs, help, or just when they need some them time without their pet. I can train a dog fairly fast and I have a lot of patience. I trained my puppy to , sit, speak, lay down, close the door(sounds funny but it works) how to crawl in case of a fire, etc. it takes time but it works, and I am here to train, watch, and love any animal. And I trained my cat I had too but I’m not very skilled in cat training but I am able to watch and love them the same way. I work a night job, but my schedule isn’t tight the days. I’m usually there are Sunday Wednesday and Tuesday and sometimes Monday I go shopping throughout the week in the day but priorities come first so if you need help with sitting overnight puppie or cat stays. or just simple walks. I am always available if you need me. I have one dog and he is nine months. He is very friendly and he loves new friends, but he is crate trained and I have an extra crate if that’s what you would like for your dog I have a small yard but I do do Home watches if that’s what you would prefer. I offer almost anything. Just tell me what you would like for your dog or a cat.

“Such a pleasure working with Christina, she is SO good with our dogs. I feel really confident in her and trust her with my pets. I highly recommend her and she is a great communicator as well!”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old! I have always had a love for being around animals. I am a college student, so currently my summer is mostly free! I have a good amount of availability at any time of the week. I have a fenced in yard so both of my dogs can run free, yet stay safe! Both of my cats spend their time indoors.

About: I am experienced with all breeds from chihuahuas to pit-bulls. We have a nice size yard and a lovable dog and cat. We have a straight hair labradoodle and s strictly indoor cat. We have raised dogs, cats and rabbits. Our son has been raised with dogs and cats and is very good with animals of all kinds. I have experience with giving medication, trimming nails and other minor grooming tasks. Dog walks around the community is an activity we enjoy doing. On those rainy days we like to sit in the living room and relax. Our dogs enjoy being brushed and just being loved on. Whether it is a stop in visit or boarding I can provide the love and care your dog will need to stay healthy and happy. I'm currently a gig worker(Doordash, etc). So my schedule is very flexible. My wife also works from home. So, if boarding, someone is always home. Our dog and cat are very friendly. We have a backyard and plenty of quiet streets to go for a walk. Our pets are allowed on the furniture so your pet can make themselves at home.

About: I’ve always had a dog in my family, sometimes multiple. I’m okay with muddy paws and slobbery kisses. I love animals and will care for your fur babies like they’re my own. I’m home most of the time and can give your pet a lot of attention and care. My yard is fenced and am willing to throw a ball or play for good exercise. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog that will love to play with yours. If your pet is shy I am able to keep them separate as well. Able to crate if needed.

About: I graduated with a BS in animal science with a companion animal emphasis, obtaining knowledge/experiences through classes, labs, internships, and employment. I worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel tech throughout undergrad seasonally and for several months post-grad at 2 different clinics. I also worked as a wildlife rescue & rehab intern and aquarist intern during undergrad, focusing on animal care and husbandry. Lastly, I have owned/helped care for family pets almost my whole life (including rodents, rabbits, and a dog) and have pet sat dogs and cats for family friends/neighbors on the side. I recently graduated from my graduate program and am beginning a full time gig on July 6. In the meantime, I am able to fulfill pet needs with a relatively open schedule and will attempt to continue on days off/if otherwise manageable upon my start date. I will not make myself available if the time allotted is not appropriate to truly care for your pet. I deeply care about animals and would love to do what I can, especially since I cannot have my family pup & chinchilla with me at school. I will surely abide by clients' wishes regarding their caretaking directions and preferences. I will also be mindful and respectful of being in another person's space, and clean up after myself and the fur babies.

“Betty and Max enjoyed their walk with Amber. They immediately enjoyed her company. She is a kind person and hardworking who will give all the attention your pups need and deserve. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I absolutely love spending time with furry friends! I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even some shy rescues. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, playing fetch at the park, and giving all the belly rubs they deserve. I’m responsible, punctual, and make sure each pet gets personalized attention and affection while you’re away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible class schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets throughout the week. I usually have mornings and evenings free, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals is a great way for me to relax and recharge between classes—it honestly makes my day better! I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live just a short walk away from a beautiful dog park where pets can get plenty of safe, supervised outdoor time. I always keep dogs on a leash during walks and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. At home, I have two super friendly resident pets who love meeting new friends and are great at helping other pets feel relaxed and welcome. I keep my space clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with lots of cozy spots for rest and play. Your furry friend will be treated just like family here! 🐶💛

About: Over the course of my life, I’ve owned seven different types of pets, from horses to cats and dogs and others in between! This pet care experience that started in early childhood has led me to appreciate, understand, and know how to handle different furry family members’ personalities. In addition, I have pet at for various families in my community, all of whom had various pets with different needs and temperaments. It would be my honor to care for your pet and give them the treatment they deserve as part of your family. I am currently a college student with a fairly flexible schedule, with availability throughout different parts of the day. I am able to provide pet care throughout most days of the week in general! I am willing to abide by and uphold any of your standard practices for your pet! The last thing I’d like to do is disrupt your pet schedule or routine, so I will do everything in my ability to follow your standards to the letter.
