Tom & Desiree's Pet Sitting

Tom & Desiree's Pet Sitting The Johnstown area alternative to the traditional kennel, in your home & neighborhood! You'll be part of the family too. as well as be licensed, etc.

Since we were 7 years old, we've had and cared for cats, dogs, and birds. There's always more than one "furbaby" in our home. We both have years of experience caring for pets and have always been animal lovers. Currently we have 2 huskies (Kanan & Angel), a giant malamute (Steele), a Pitsky (B.B.), and 4 sassy cats (Dixie, Toralei, Boo, & Maize). In the past, we've had rabbits, a snake, and fish a

s well. We love the outdoors and walks with our pack (and maybe your pack soon, too!). We've trained all our dogs in regular obedience and some puppy training. In the past, we've also litter trained rabbits, as well as our cats. Our goal is to help you and your babies feel like family, give you peace of mind and comfort, as well as a much more personalized and warm pet care experience than traditional pet care services, while you have to be away. We hope to see you soon and have you become part of our "pack" as well! Pet care is very important to us and a large part of our schedule is dedicated to it. We strive to be very flexible to meet all your pet care needs! 😊

Pets are never left unattended indoors or out, while under our care. We have lots of different dog (and cat!) toys that we offer as needed to stimulate your pets mind and get them to have fun. We do play time and different activities to wear them out and get good exercise. Your pet will be treated like family (and royalty!) while they are cared for by us. We love all of our clients pets as if they were our very own. They will get a ton of attention and care, when they are under our watch! Your furbabies will experience much, much more personalized attention and care than traditional pet care services, when they are with us! They literally become "part of the family" with us. 😊

In order to book with us, we do require that your pets be up to date with all their required vaccinations (rabies, etc.) as applicable by law and have received current flea and tick treatment. We do not service any pets that are known to be aggressive or have hurt humans or other pets in the past. We also are insured and bonded through the Business Insurers of the Carolinas, have enhanced background checks and clearances, are certified in pet CPR/first aid, and have CPS-DW certification for extra peace of mind and to ensure you receive five star, expert pet care each time! We are also members of Pet Sitters International and are accredited with the BBB. Let us know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or requirements, medical care needs, allergies, etc. and we will do everything in our power to accommodate you and your pet! We like to do an initial meet and greet and ask you some routine questions about you and your pet. I seek to make this experience as smooth as possible for you and your pets, as well as gain your trust and hopefully a lifelong friend!

🚫Cracking windows or leaving the AC on does not equal pet safety.

🚘Hundreds of pets die from heat exhaustion after being left in vehicles each year.

📈Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise almost 20 degrees in just 10 minutes. After an hour, the temperature inside a vehicle can register more than 40 degrees higher than the outside temperature!

If you welcomed a new furry sidekick into your life recently, congratulations! 🎉

But you may now be faced with a dilemma:
🐾 Who can you trust with your pet when it’s time for a vacation or those long work shifts?

💡Your local PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER is the real-life hero your pet deserves.

Before you book a pet sitter, check out these tips from Pet Sitters International:

1️⃣ Spell out your needs.
Do you need daily walks, vacation care, or just the occasional potty break? Be specific about your pet’s needs. Professional pet sitters offer tailored services.

2️⃣ Don’t settle for “cheap & easy.”
Anyone can list pet-sitting services online, but only true pros are insured, trained, and qualified to care for your pets and your home.

3️⃣ Always do a meet & greet/initial consultation.
PSI recommends meeting in person (with your pet!) before booking. This is your chance to ask questions, see how your pet responds, and review their credentials to make sure they’re the best fit for your family.

4️⃣ Ask the right questions.

📢Pet parents, it's important to discuss your pet's exercise options with your pet sitter or dog walker this summer.

When temperatures rise, your pet sitter or dog walker may need to:

✅ Shorten your pet’s walk.
✅ Engage your pet in an alternate activity such as indoor playtime.
✅ Rearrange your pet’s exercise schedule to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Work with your pet-care professional on a plan to ensure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe during the "dog days" of summer!

Pet parents, please be honest!

If you are using the services of a professional pet-sitting or dog-walking business, your pet-care provider will complete a pet profile sheet for your pet(s) to ensure they have a complete picture of your pet’s behavior and health.

This ensures they can provide top-notch care but also helps keep your pet—and the pet sitter—safe.

So it’s important to be honest. If your pet has any physical conditions or issues, has ever bitten or scratched anyone, or has had difficulties with past pet-care providers, share this information with your pet sitter. Withholding information can put both your pet and the pet sitter at risk.

We know you want the best care for your pet—and that can only happen if you are honest about your pet’s health and behavior and transparent about any concerns.

In our final day of observing National Pet Week ®️ today's theme is:

Plan for their care: Give them a lifetime of love

Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before—and as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening. They also can improve your pet's chances for a longer and healthier life. Learn what's "normal" and what may signal a reason for concern about an aging pet.

Today's theme for National Pet Week® is:

🆘️ Emergencies happen: Be prepared 🆘️

We never know when or where an emergency will happen. As a pet owner, you need to plan ahead, and include your pets in your family’s emergency plan. Know what to do in case of an emergency, how to assemble emergency and first aid kits, and how to properly identify your pets so your family can be reunited if you’re ever separated.
