About: I’ve had dogs since my 20s. My black lab recently passed away and I’m not ready to get another dog so I figured I would dog walk to get my fix! I am always watching the neighbors dogs and cats. I do have experience with puppies and the elderly. My business is that of Massage Therapy and I am also certified in Canine Massage! I have also included a picture collage of my home so that you know what to expect to see when you come in at any time. I am currently working from home so I am flexible every day of the week. I do schedule myself plenty of breaks every day of the week. This way I can properly take care of your pet. I would take care of your pet just like my own! I spoil them and they will never go hungry no matter if they’re at my home or yours

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.

“Debbie did a great job sitting for my 9 year old Boxer in our camper while we laid my Mom’s ashes in Mentor Cemetary. We are from MT and he’s not used to this heat and humidity. I got her with a last minute request yesterday and she did wonderfully. Highly recommend.”


About: For 18 years, I've been a resident of Meadville. I enjoy taking pups for walks, regardless of the weather. As a lifelong pet lover, I've cared for animals from puppies to geriatric pets. I look forward to befriending your cat or dog 🐶🐱 Currently in Nursing school, and looking to make new pup & kitty friends in my area! Any questions please ask, want the animals to feel loved & cared for. I currently own a 14 week pup and would love to socialize him as well if your furry friend is looking for company, Available to give your pup the attention they need while your away.

“Kat did such an amazing job with all of our animals while we were out of town! She kept us up to date on everything and shared daily photos of the pets. She also kept our house very clean for us to come home to. She is very sweet with the animals and took such great care of them.”


“Kayla was great! She house sat for me and my cat for a few days. She hung out with him even if all he wanted to do was sleep on her lap. When she came for a meet and greet I learned she had to move to another state right around the time of my house sit, but despite that she didn't cancel and didn't even consider cancelling, even though it was probably an inconvenience for her to keep the job. I always look for last minute cancellations on reviews so to me the fact that she kept the job, even though it was a small one and probably inconvenient for her, speaks volumes about her reliability. She was even nice enough to give me a direct contact phone number for my peace of mind, I had an experience where I tried to call the Rover phone number and it didn't go thru so I always ask for real phone numbers. She was also great with my cat and really sweet to him even though he woke her up at 2am! Thanks so much kayla”

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.

“AWESOME!!!!! I wish there were more stars than just 5. Danielle was amazing. She took great care of my furbabies and my home. She did more than I expected and sent updates with photos. I was nervous having someone I did not know in my home with my pets for 3 nights, but Danielle took care of my pets and home as if they were her own. She even striped the bed she used, washed the bedding and remade the bed, she took out the garbage and washed and put away the dishes. Completely unexpected, but greatly appreciated. She made my long weekend away much more enjoyable because I knew everything was in good hands with Danielle. She is a God Sent and a True Blessing.

She is a lifelong cat owner and has always been concerned for her kitties' wellbeing above all else. She is also gentle, patient, and loving toward other animals she encounters. She has stayed long periods of time with my own cats and treated them with as much affection and concern as her own cats. She has experience with cats with special dietary needs as well.

“Caleb has taken care of my two corgis many times in the past and is a great pet-sitter! He obviously loves dogs and takes great care of them-- even taking the time to take them outside to play. Whenever he comes over to visit, the dogs are overjoyed to see him and won't leave him alone. I highly recommend Caleb if anyone needs a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
