House Sitting in Avonia

“We love having Victoria watch Lucy! This time we had her house sit and watch Lucy for 2 weeks. I wasn’t worried at all because I knew Lucy was in good hands. There were no issues and when we returned our house looked great and Lucy was a happy girl. I will be asking Victoria to watch Lucy in the future.”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for six years, and have had in home pets my whole life! I have experience with senior pets and am happy to help with any mobility needs. I am open to caring for puppies and kittens, but they must be potty trained. I work 8am-4pm and can take a lunch break to let pets out as needed! Happy to spend the night with a pet, or just pop for a bathroom break! I am not able to care for pets at my house at this time, however I am happy to spend the night somewhere else if need be (after being able to visit with the pet parents present). I am also happy to walk or play with pets to get them some exercise!

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 taking care of dogs and cats for my family and friends for a few years now. They trust me to house sit as well as tend to and feed their animals. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of wiggle room to take care of your animals! Overnight stays are also not an issue! Even with a fenced in back yard, I will keep your dogs company! I will always assess the needs and safety concerns for each individual home.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate and experienced pet sitter with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other furry companions. Growing up, I was lucky to share my home with three amazing dogs and two cats, which sparked my lifelong love for animals. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, needs, and personalities—whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog who needs a little extra care. Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether I'm actively dog sitting or not, I make time every day to stay engaged with animals—whether that’s walking neighborhood dogs, volunteering, or checking in on pets for friends and family. When I do have a pet-sitting job, I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I prioritize sticking to each pet’s routine to help them feel secure and happy. This might include morning walks, midday playtime, evening feedings, and some extra cuddle time before bed. For me, pet care isn’t an add-on to my life—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to as part of my everyday rhythm.

“Andra is a very caring and thoughtful person. Both my dog and I felt very comfortable immediately upon meeting her. She took great care of my dog, kept my updated and was very communicative. I will be using Andra again for sure! Thank you 😊”

About: I have been watching dogs since I was a teenager for my neighbors. I adopted my dog, Rocky, in the summer of 2020. He is a very happy and healthy pup! I will take care of your dog as if they were my own, I look forward to meeting them! I have a very flexible work schedule and can make most times work with enough notice. I am available most weekends. I'd love to take your dog for a walk! I will be sure to take great care in your home if that is part of your requested service. I am also happy to send photos and check in updates. My job is pretty flexible so I can make most things work with enough notice. I'm happy to take your dog out in the morning, afternoon, or evening! If your request includes me entering your home I will be sure to follow your instructions while being careful, considerate, and keeping you informed via message and photos.

About: I've never owned a dog but I've always been around family dogs and have given basic dog care over the years. Including walking and dog sitting. I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. My schedule is very flexible and I'm sure we could find a fit. I currently only offer in client home sitting. I will follow guidelines set by the pet parents in regards to walks and feeding times, etc.

“Alex is the best dog sitter that I have had in the past year and a half of being on Rover. Alex was very intentive to my 6 month old puppy's (Abby) needs, she even too her for car rides! Alex even left the house looking way better than it did when I left. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no more Alex is the one that you definitely want to hire! I will be hiring Alex in the future so Abby can hang out with her new Bestie!!”

“Kim took very good care of our two dogs while we were away. Our boys were happy and that’s what matters most! I very much appreciated her flexibility throughout our booking. Kim is kind and very personable. I feel comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. She also is very tidy which is appreciated! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”

“Kayla did a great job taking care of our girl and our house! Will definately use her again!”

“This is our first experience with Vonda. Our longtime dog sitter unexpectedly moved out of town for a new job, and we needed to find a new sitter quickly. We contacted Vonda and she was available to meet with us the same day – and we booked her the next day. Vonda responded to any questions or requests we sent her way during our travels. We are very happy with the excellent care Vonda provided for our fur baby and for our home while we were away... We recommend Vonda and hope to use her services again should the need arise.”

“Really great experience with Cheyenne! She was communicative and sent lots of great pictures. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again :)”

“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. In case you cannot tell, I highly recommend her!!!!”

About: Stay at home Dog (and Cat) Mom! To us our pets our Family and your pet will be treated as family too. I have over 35 years of experience and knowledge with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, horses, fish, and even frogs! Currently, I share my home with five dogs, four cats, two rabbits, and three birds. My horse now resides at a boarding facility, but before moving him, I was actively involved in the daily care of five horses. I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior pets. My 20-year-old cat lived with kidney failure for years, during which I administered daily medication and subcutaneous fluids. My 15-year-old Samoyed battled nasal cancer in her final year, requiring consistent medication and care. As a dog obedience and scent work instructor for years, I have hands-on experience working with reactive dogs—including my own four-year-old Samoyed, who is fearful of other dogs. I am currently involved in therapy dog work, agility, and scent work with my dogs. I walk my dogs 4–5 miles a day, both for their well-being and mine! I would love to add more miles by walking your dog too. I can comfortably walk two dogs at a time; more than that would depend on their behavior and compatibility. I have been helping care for the pets of family and friends and would love to help you as well! I am reliable, caring, and experienced, and I am available most days and evenings. It's difficult to trust the care of your dog to someone else, I know... it has to be the right person. I can be that person! I am available weekdays and weekend both days and evenings for visits. If your pet needs a walk I would prefer to walk during the daylight hours. I will work to make a schedule work for you. I have a fenced in back yard and live on a quiet street. Live on a 2 acre lot with trees, grass. Dogs can be seen outside when I'm inside.

“Josie was AMAZING! She was extremely communicative and sent pictures to us of our fur babies. She was respectful and willing to help out with anything we needed. I would highly recommend!”

About: I have experience pet sitting dogs for up to a week at a time as well as experience with my own dog Buster who is a golden retriever and cocker spaniel mix. I currently work full-time in the afternoon and evening. I collaborate with my mom who works in the mornings so that your dog would only be alone for up to four hours at a time. I keep the rules that you set for your pet when they stay at my home. When we go outside, I have an electric fence as well as a good size neighborhood to walk with your dog.

About: I can let out/play/walk with dogs during anytime of the day. I love animals and no dog is too big or small. I also am totally understanding of some of the complicated needs of some pets because I have fostered sick/disabled dogs growing up and still to this day. I am a college student with lots of breaks in between classes. I am really familiar with the erie area and LOVE walks with dogs! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and cats. They are all friendly but I can keep them separate in the house with no problem

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve fostered dogs and cats of all ages through Humane Animal Rescue in Pittsburgh, which taught me how to care for pets with unique needs and personalities. I’ve been pet sitting for many years and have had my own pets throughout my life, so I know how important it is to provide reliable and loving care. I recently graduated from Pitt and have a completely open and flexible schedule right now. I’m focusing on doing something I truly enjoy spending time with animals while I look for my next job. This means I can fully adapt to your pet’s daily routine, whether it’s daycare, walks, or overnight stays. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely, as well as a friendly dog who can keep your pup company if you’d like. I can easily crate your dog if needed and love working on basic commands to keep pets engaged and happy. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat their pets and space with the same respect and care as I would my own.
