Dog Walking in Erie

About: In my preteen years I looked out for many of our neighbors dogs when they were away. I always grew up having many different types of dogs small to big as well as very young and old. My family owned many goats and different types of fowl so I am used to being surrounded by all kinds of animals. In the apartment that I currently residence my boyfriend and I are not allowed animals so we are looking to fill that gap by compassionately looking after your loved one. I am currently in a waiting period in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pet as well as check in during the day. I am willing to cater to the preference of your pet. I would love to take them on longer walks or visit their favorite park. I am also open to keeping your pet more local and playing fetch or with toys in your yard if applicable.

“Alexis has been walking our rambunctious puppy, Faygo, while we're at work for the last few days. We have nothing but good things to say. She's super sweet, considerate of our pup and gives us details about how her walk was after. We're looking forward to continuing to work with Alexis!”

About: I am an excellent communicator and am very attentive to each customer. I will be sure to send you frequent updates and photos, these are the kinds of things that make me feel secure when I am away from ny pet. I am respectful and caring too. I will take great care of your space and show your pet lots of attention and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 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: As a nurse, fur mom, foster mom, and Vice President of a rescue, I have unique skills that make me the best fit for the job! I have experience with dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens including neonatal. I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to focus on Rover and devote my full attention, time, and love to providing pet care to countless families in the area. Outside of my natural nursing instincts in wanting to help others, my profession has also made me someone mindful of the environment and the ones I am caring for. Safety is a top priority. Regardless of whether the care provided is in your home or mine, you know you will be comfortable leaving your fur babies in my hands. I effectively multi-task, where I can be the "fun friend" for your pet while maintaining a safe environment. I believe it is essential to not only be aware of the surroundings and assess various safety factors of the environment but also to be mindful of the animals, their behaviors, and the situation.

“Alexis was amazing! Bailey absolutely loved and so did I! Great with animals, personable, trustworthy, and so sweet!! It’s been a pleasure to get to know her and Bailey agrees!”

About: Trusted by animals. Can watch at your house or mine. Good at communication. I enjoy animals as more than just a pet. Animals are important like children. I am forced to raise my rates because Rover takes 28%. It’s outrageous. Can watch at others homes or mine. Currently working from home so I can get to others houses or stay at yours if needed if I have basic access to WiFi. My yard is not fenced in by I can take the animal on standard walks on a one acre years. Or locally in other wide open spaces I typically work from home three days a week. Two days in office. On those two days my fiancé is home so we have it covered always. My house has a nice backyard where I can walk dogs no problem. I am patient with animals. I can put animals in crate if necessary. They will have companionship with me.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life and I feel grateful for it. For years, I’ve been trusted to watch and take care of family and friends’ pets (babies)! I am a college student with classes mid morning. MWF I have 10-11 and TTh 9:30-12:15 so I’m pretty available. I want to be a comfortable / trusted person with your pets and also getting a dose of furry friends while I’m away at school. I can meet whatever needs makes you and your pets comfortable. If there are any specifics of care your pets require, I want to help.

About: I’ve had and taken care of cats and other animals since a very young age, my friends and family come to me to check on, feed and play with their pets. I currently work full time over night, I’m available I’m from 3pm-7pm everyday, on Thursday and Fridays I’m available the entire day. I have a fenced in yard and other dogs in the house to keep your pets company, I can easily cage your pets if needed.

About: Most sitters just “watch” dogs, I actually work with them. I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and routines so your dog stays comfortable, not stressed. I keep structure, stay active with them, and communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. Your dog isn’t just being supervised, they’re being cared for the right way. Because I’m a subcontractor, my schedule isn’t fixed, which works in your favor. I usually have consistent openings in the mornings and a lot of availability in the afternoons. This allows me to be flexible with walks, drop ins, and extended care. I plan ahead to make sure every dog gets proper time and attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own. That means keeping their routine consistent, making sure they get enough exercise, and giving them real attention, not just checking in. I pay close attention to behavior, mood, and energy so they stay comfortable and stress-free. You’ll also get updates so you always know your dog is in good hands.

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 truly enjoy spending time with animals! I currently work from 3–11 p.m., but my family is home by 3, so your pet will never be left alone. This schedule allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care before and after my shift. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s daily routine, whether that means walks, playtime, daycare, 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.

About: I have had pets all my life and volunteered at pet shelters since I was 9 years old. I do not shy away from special needs or senior pets. Each pet is unique and has unique needs, I will put your pet first when they are in my care. I can be available with 24hr notice. I am a veteran and currently in-between jobs, so my schedule is open. I am active so I can keep up with your energetic critters. My cats run my home, I even cat proofed the backyard so they can enjoy the outdoors and stay safe. All my home improvements take my cats needs into consideration and if I could afford it, they would have an enclosure that a zoo could be jealous of.

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. Our family honestly just loves animals, so we figured why not earn some extra money to put towards family getaways, doing what we love. Plus it gives us a chance to do something together! 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: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all pets and my ability to adapt to their unique needs. I have experience caring for puppies—helping with basic training and socialization—as well as providing gentle, patient care for senior pets who may need extra comfort and attention. I’m attentive, reliable, and communicate openly with pet parents to ensure their pets feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re away. Even with 12-hour workdays, usually Monday through Wednesday, pet care remains a top priority for me. I make sure to give pets plenty of attention and care before and after work on those busy days. On my days off and weekends, which are completely free, I’m fully available to provide extra playtime, walks, and companionship. Spending time with animals is genuinely a joy for me—it’s never a chore, and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels loved and cared for, no matter my schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and behavioral preferences to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I pay close attention to each pet’s mood and body language, responding with extra cuddles, playtime, or space as needed. I also keep the pet’s area clean and tidy—regularly refreshing bedding, toys, and litter boxes or waste areas—to ensure a fresh and comfortable home. I respect the client’s home fully, securing doors and windows and following any house rules. Open communication is important to me: I send regular updates and photos so pet parents feel connected and reassured. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire stay.

About: I’ve have experience with puppies and senior dogs for 10+ years. In addition to dogs, I’ve lived on a farm for 10 years. Animal care is my number one priority. I always have free time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings to check in and play with your dog. I can also make time to stop by more often if need be. With having my own pets, I understand what it takes to provide proper care on a daily and weekly basis. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own.
