Nicola Stirk, 63, was banned from keeping cats and dogs for two years.
Teesside Magistrates' Court gave her a 15-month community order.
Two cats and two dogs lived in filth at a home in County Durham.
Floors were covered in rubbish, faeces, and urine throughout the house.
The dogs lived downstairs behind a baby gate. The cats lived upstairs.
The RSPCA warned Stirk before, but conditions worsened again later.
A vet agreed the animals were suffering or would soon suffer.
Stirk must pay £900 in costs and a £114 victim surcharge.
