“Your pups health and safety is my top priority!”
Hi, I'm Christy! I had a miniature Australian Shepherd for over 10 years. He taught me a lot about dogs and their unique personalities and behaviors. I am a mature adult with a job that has a very flexible schedule so I can be available for your dog at different times throughout the day. I love to walk and would bring your dog along with me! I promise to care for your dog as if he or she were my own. With me, your dog will receive plenty of one on one attention in a calm and safe environment.

Hi, my name is Kendra! I have been caring for dogs all my life. My family also breeds dogs, so I have cared for young puppies as well as older dogs. I have done cat sitting for family and friends over the years as well.

Dog Walking in Erie
The large manufacturing city of Erie, Pennsylvania, has a long history with pet ownership and has one of the oldest humane societies in the States. The population of Erie has been going back and forth around a total of 100,000 citizens and thus there has been a high amount of animals in Erie since the beginning of last century.
The main natural attraction of Erie, Lake Erie, is one of the first places to look to walk the dog. The Presque Isle State Park Beach is a 3,200-acre natural park that is coincidentally also the only coastal shore in the state of Pennsylvania. Dogs have to be leashed at all times but can still enjoy a splash in the water or a hike through the dunes.
The dogs of Erie currently do not have an off-leash dog park to themselves. This is why the Humane Society of Northwest Pennsylvania built their own. Behind their facility are two playgrounds - one for small dogs and one for large dogs. Owners can take a sit on one of the benches while the dogs get wild in the wading pools in the play areas.
Just paying a short visit to Erie, Pennsylvania? There are many pet-friendly hotels in the city such as the Comfort Inn & Suites, the Days Inn, the La Quinta Inn & Suites and the Riviera Motel.

Harborcreek
12Population DensityHarborcreek
12Six Mile Creek Park in Harborcreek is a great place to bring dogs you really want to tire out. Despite the name, there’s a lot more than six miles to explore in this 400-acre park. The park is mostly undeveloped; though there are many clear trails, they don’t have the manicured appearance of some other places. The terrain is varied, with flat near the creek and hill climbing steeply the further you get away from it. The park is very open, so it’s up to you how far you go and how difficult the journey is. Just keep your dog on leash!
Presque Isle State Park
0Population DensityPresque Isle State Park
0The only drawback to this park is that, like most state parks, dogs have to be on leash inside of it. Otherwise, Presque Isle State Park may be the most pawsome place dogs can visit. This park combines hiking and walking trails with beach-front access. It borders directly on Lake Erie, giving lots of beaches for pups to play on. The hiking trails through wooded areas top 13 miles! Whether your dog loves to lounge in the sand or hit the trail, Presque Isle State Park is the place to go--and the drive is only 5 minutes from Erie, PA!
