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!
“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: 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.

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.
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 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: 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.
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.
“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: 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 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 have sat for others pets for years and I love it, we make it easy for your pet to feel right at home and apart of our family during their stay! I work from home most days so i am very flexible! I am very active so walks and outside activity happen often. I am also available to drive to and from you for pick ups/drop offs. Lots of play time and walks are very important, getting all of the attention they deserve is a big deal and I would want that for my own animals!

Monica C.
“Monica has a huge heart for animals, and their wellbeing is one of her biggest priorities in life. 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. I volunteer with a shelter pet transport, and she has accompanied me and assisted with several runs and has demonstrated the same care with dogs of various sizes and temperaments as I have witnessed with our cats.”

She owns dogs, cats, horses, and various other animals, all of whom she considers family members, not pets. She also trains dogs and participates with her dogs in various emotional support programs at schools and hospitals. Michele is a very compassionate, considerate, and responsible person.
