“Cheyenne was great! She didn’t let a little sunny weather get in her way to find a nice shady path to take my boy for a nice long walk! Exactly what I hoped for! I will certainly call Cheyenne again:-)”
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.
About: I started taking care of friends and families pets that grew to friends of friends pets Took a break from it while working but am retired so I will have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I have always owned cats until we rescued our first dog Daisy a pembroke welsh corgi. She passed in 2022 and we came upon a shelter corgi Bella who we fell in love with. She is the only pet we own now so I have plenty of love to bestow on your beloved cats or dogs. I would love to meet them and take care of them to give you peace of mind while you are away. I am currently retired so I would be available most any time to care for your pets. I will only take care of one family’s pet at a time so yours will get all my attention. I do not have a fenced in yard at my home but will always keep your pet on a leash or lead. If taking care of your pet at my home we would need you to bring your pet to meet my dog to make sure they will get along. I have a 20 Lb Corgi who will do fine with a dog in our home. Can only take in one dog at a time so they can get the attention they deserve. If taking care of at your home will follow whatever your pet’s routine is and spend as much time as needed. Will clean up after them both, cats and dogs.
“Kristen is amazing with my fur baby! My dog throughly enjoys her company and walks. She has been such an asset to have on my long work days making sure all of Remingtons needs are met. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and all the wonderful qualities a carer can have. We continue to appreciate all the hard work she does for us 😁❤”
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: 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: As a Certified Veterinarian Assistant, I am trained and have the experience to care for your pet! I do in-house boarding, drop-in visits to your home, and basic medical care needs (nails, baths, medication administering, etc.) I work full time at Wabtec Corporation; pet-sitting is a supplement income for me. I plan to work weekends, and after work. I also have an open book all day on Fridays. I take my dog for 1-2 walks a day. She’s a puppy, so we are currently starting training work. I make sure she meets her daily exercise needs and her socialization. I plan to use those same principles when working with clients’ dogs.
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.
“Bethany made time to come to my house and meet the pets prior, and took excellent care of my animals ! She spent extra time with the boys and sent loads of photos (love!) Will absolutely use her in the future.”
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 a mini dachshund I personally care for. I can walk and do overnight care. I care deeply about my own dog and will do the same with yours I can do it 24/7. Im a student thats home for the summer for medical school. I can walk in the mornings and evenings too. I have a fenced yard and the dogs can do their business freely. I have siblings that can give attention to the dogs as well.

Elizabeth M.
“I would highly recommend Elizabeth for any pet caring needs. She is gentle and loving with all animals and extremely responsible. She is a dog whisperer extraordinaire.”
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.”

Doreen M.Star Sitter
“Doreen was awesome, and went above and beyond in taking great care of our two Golden Retrievers. We definitely recommend Doreen, and will use her again in the future ?”
Mary V.
“Mary is a fantastic pet sitter who really enjoys animals. She spends quality time with each one of my five pets and even has "coffee with Ribs" when my very needy dog requires extra attention in the morning. My reclusive cat (Mini Meow) even comes out Mary's pet sitting, that says a lot about Mary. Mr. Kitty requires daily medication and Mary doesn't bat an eye at it. She makes sure he gets his pills and eats his special food without any issues. That's not easy to do with cats! Mary is one of the few people that I trust my pets with. She's caring, compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy. I highly recommend Mary as a pet sitter.”

Elicia R.
“Elicia is a compassionate and affectionate individual who has been a lifelong animal enthusiast. Her deep love and care for pets would undoubtedly make her an excellent caretaker for your furry friend. You can rest assured that your pet will be in capable and nurturing hands under Elicia's watch.”
Sara & Ben M.
“Rest assured and have complete peace of mind when your pets are in the care of Sara. She is incredibly knowledgeable due to her years of experience in rescue work and as a pet owner. As a parent of many dogs over the years with medical concerns and other needs, she is very attentive, thoughtful and thorough. Administering medication is no issue for Sara, and she knows how to approach even the most shy and nervous dogs. There is no pet that she would not be able to care for. I swear my dogs love her even more than me! I never have to worry when my very needy dogs are with Sara. She also sends me play by plays and photos to ease my anxiety. I highly recommend Sara for your pet care needs.”

Aditya P.
“I believe Aditya is a perfect candidate for the position of caregiver! I witnessed him taking care of dogs, and it is evident that dogs matter to him a lot. He does his best and indeed shows affection for them. I know a lot of pet owners who had pets for years. If I didn't know Aditya, I would think he also owned a pet for a long time because he knows exactly how to care for them!”
Melissa A.
“Melissa took Sadie for a walk and play time. She was prompt and made sure Sadie was well taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker or sitter.”
