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.

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: Hi my name is amber. I have 3 huskies, and 4 cats of my own. I used to want to be a vet tech, but school was too expensive, and far away. I have set a new goal to open a kennel of my own, and work from home. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I work a job i can make my own schedule. I would like to only work my regular job part time to transition to a job in animal care. I have a fenced in yard with 2 separate fences. I have 3 huskies, and 4 cats. They are friendly, and social I love working with dogs and cats. I have rescued feral kittens, taken in pregnant cats, and helped aid in the care of kittens who need vet care. When it comes to dogs I have done almost everything except diabetes. I have had puppies to seniors. I was a husky breeder for a brief time.

“Emma is a dream!!! I cannot recommend Emma highly enough! She took care of my two pups with so much love and attentiveness—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She sent regular updates, photos, and even FaceTimed me, which made me feel so connected. When I came home, the house was spotless, and my dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. Emma went above and beyond in every way!!! She’s reliable, kind, intuitive, and has a true gift with animals. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. I already hope to book her again!”


“Kayla is amazing! She took excellent care of my doggos, sent pictures every day, followed instructions to a tee. One of my doggos got sick from doggy daycare and she called me immediately, took them to the vet, gave them meds, and made arrangements for the dogs to be cared for while she worked. She is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!”

“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: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I love having them here so much. I dont get them everyday, 4 to 5 times a month, overnight. Sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, or more. I take care of my mom, she has Dementia, and the fur kids love being next her, shes so happy and less stressed when they are here. She remembers alot when their here. I tend to cuddle with them all day & nite when they stay. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.

About: I've lived on a farm my whole life. We've raised dogs, cats, poultry, rabbits, sheep, goats, cows, and horses. All of our animals were unique and different. I have experience with dogs from puppies to seniors. My family usually takes in rescue dogs with behavioral issues or medical needs. I am used to waking up early to feed and water animals and hanging out with them by training, walks and exercise, or cuddling throughout the day. My day ends with feeding and watering everyone again. I have experience with many different aspects of animal care and can feed, water, provide medication, work on training, go on walks, or anything else that you and your friend need.

About: I was blessed to have a dog from the age of 16 to 27 named Angel. The name was fitting. Every dog deserves love and attention. I have a full time job but would have no problem making sure that any pet care routine is followed and kept up to date. My ultimate goal is to make sure your house is respected and treated well. Your home is your castle and needs to be protected. I will make sure that your pets lives and routines aren’t interrupted and your home is in the same state as you left it.

“Samantha was fantastic! She was great with our dogs and sent frequent updates with pictures. She also took good care of our house when we were gone. We asked to extend the stay by one night and Samantha was so willing to accommodate and stay!”
