About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs.

Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.

“Keely has looked after my dog before as a sitter, and I was so happy to have her take my pup for a walk recently. She’s always so kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she sees her! It’s such a comfort knowing that Keely already knows my dog, so I can trust that she’s in great hands. She always takes the time to give updates and really goes the extra mile. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keely to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker or sitter!”


About: My husband and I have raised kittens and puppies for the past 20+ years. Our children all have had jobs pet sitting for multiple people.

Between myself and the 5 other family members in my home, we can figure out a way to accommodate the needs for your pet. Plus most of us drive so we can provide transport or easily come to you:) We have a large yard for your pet to play, and a great neighborhood with side walks to take for walks. We love playing with animals and cuddles, but we also have enough space in our home if you’d like your pet more secluded.

About: **Updated changes to my schedule. I am not able to do any overnights during the week, I am only available during the weekends. I am ok with dogs staying at my home during the week but there will be a process we follow before that becomes routine. I am happy to discuss that anytime! I am free for walks only on Fridays now and evenings. Please feel free to inbox me anytime for any questions or situations and we can talk through it! Thank you!!** Hello all!! Let me take a minute to fill you in on myself, my household, and all the love I have for dogs and cats alike! Right off the bat, I do want to be clear about who you will be primarily working with and who will primarily be taking care of your pet. Sara and Ben are both listed since we are married, but Sara is the primary caregiver. So all information is primarily about Sara's skills and experience along with Ben's and as a couple. Ben is very active during boarding situations but all other services are done by Sara, with Ben popping in on occasion. With that said here we go... I have years of fostering experience with rehabbing, training, and loving dogs of all situations, behaviors, and backgrounds. I have had personal animals of my own for almost 20 years now and loved every second of it! I started an animal rescue here in Erie several years ago, so my love and care of animals is very real! I was also a Vet Tech for several years! Owners deserve to feel their home and animals are safe when they are away. I want all owners to not feel a shred of worry or anxiousness, I know it can be hard to be away from them. I want you to enjoy yourself, thats what is most important! I take it very seriously to send updates and pictures as much as the owner would like! I know it can help the worry of being away to see how much fun their animals are having and all the love they are receiving--so I will be diligent about those!! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have! Happy to answer all I can! We work full time 9-5 and have 4 dogs of our own. My schedule is more flexible than Bens. Ben and I are amazing animal owners and their care is number one in our lives and we revolve our lives around theirs. They are not just animals to us, they are our children. Structure and routine is vital and taken seriously. We follow the animals routine and needs to the best of our ability. They need routine and structure when their owners are gone and that is not something we take lightly. Our home has a fenced yard, plenty of room in the home to play, and walks in the neighborhood if allowed. At someone's home, I will follow the guidelines for that animal to a tee based on their set up and owners request.

About: I’ve cared for family pets, friends pets, and others pets. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters and been able to care to them and make them feel wanted again. I walk dogs and make sure they get enough time outside and enjoy themselves. Currently with being a college student, The schedule is a littler tighter but I’m able to dog walk or sit earlier in the day more often than later in the day. Classes are mostly from 2-8 with one class in the morning around 9-12 but days vary. I tend to most dogs i’ve owned with care because of them coming from shelters. I’ve had to be gentle with them and slowly build their trust over time and showing them that I’m not there to harm them like a previous owner might have. I listen to them and make sure they’re fed and happy.

Monica C.
“Monica and I bonded over a cat with special needs--a daily responsibility, which Monica embraced with gusto. Meantime, she was not just accommodating but encouraging her other cats' individual personalities. In other words, she gets two very important things. First, the key to good critter health and happiness lies in the everyday details, and she is dedicated to fulfilling them every single time. Second, enrichment is everything--and also most of the fun for all involved.”


Kendall F.
“I’ve known Kendall for a couple of years now, and during this time she has watched my family’s dog and my own personal dog a handful of times. I own a Pomeranian named Tom and my family owns a Chihuahua named Elly. Both of these dogs are highly energetic and need a good amount of attention from whoever is caring for them. While looking for someone to watch our dogs this was our biggest concern, but Kendall has exceeded mine and my family’s expectations every time. She is very loving and caring towards dogs and animals. She goes above and beyond every time to make sure the dogs are well fed, walked, loved, etc. I highly recommend Kendall if you are looking for someone to care/animal-sit for your pet. She takes great care of them and overall just does an amazing job.”


Veronica E.

“I highly recommend Veronica as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals.

Amber C.
“Amber has always been amazing with my dogs and cats. She’s cared for them like they are her own and I never had to worry when my animals were with her. She updated me frequently and always showed me how much she loved them. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. 🫶🏼”

Sara & Ben M.
“Sara was absolutely amazing with our three very special fur babies. We haven't been able to leave for a vacation in 5 years because we were nervous about boarding our dogs at a kennel. One of our dogs is very old (blind and deaf) and I just couldn't bring myself to leave him in a kennel in that condition. My other dog is very anxious and fearful of strangers. He was a stray we took in, and we just aren't sure what he's endured in the past that's made him leery of people. Finally, my purebred Bluetick Coonhound is very loud, and some boarding facilities have refused to care for her based on that factor alone, so dropping them off somewhere was NOT an option for us, but house sitting on Rover sounded promising. Sara was up for the challenge and was a great fit based on her experience. She said "Don't worry ...I got this!" Sara was determined to take excellent care of my fur babies and to make sure I felt comfortable leaving them. She set up many "meet and greets" before we left for vacation in order to get acclimated to each of them and their routines. As a family we were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing our pups and home were in good hands. I highly recommend Sara as a house sitter...my dogs had a great time in her care!”


Laura B.
“Hi! Laura is my wife. We have owned dogs together for the last 16 years! She puts her fur family first and really takes care of them. Our oldest Sandee was 16 and Laura took patient care for her in her old age. Our herd right includes two mini Dachshunds, a English Cream Golden and a rescued Great Pyrenees (Also two quarter horse mares). Laura is always trying to do what is best for them all and keep up with good general maintenance to give them the best life! She loves all the animals she meets and will take the best care for your furry family member!”

“Corey is a very responsible, caring person. He also has passion for everything in life. I have known him all his life and has always taken care of my animals and they love seeing him!!”
