House Sitting in Xenia

“Elizabeth was such a great joy to have with my four legged kids today. We have had a very rough time recently with my mother having issues who was our main sitter and our one dog dying. Thus, I am in need of day sitters last minute for awhile until we can get a routine down. I want to thank her so much for all the texts and pictures with updates. It has been a very anxious time for us, and she was such a wonderful savior. It was so nice to know someone was with the dogs during the storms. She was so polite last minute when I had to find help and came out to meet dogs to learn routine. We for sure will have her again, and it might even be this weekend or this week if she is available to day sit at our house.”

“Liesa did a great job. She followed instructions and stayed a little after due to our concert going late. It was a long day and we had to leave Lily alone a couple of times already, so her willingness to stay after was a big help. We received pictures of our little girl and she was easy to communicate with.”

“Hailie and Manny did a great job watching Ella while I was out of town for a few days! Definitely will ask them again next time I go out of town and would recommend them to anyone!”

“Took good care of our fur babies! Glad she was able to come take care of them at our house while we were on vacation. She kept the house tidy and was responsive to our messages. Also sent us pictures of them so we felt better about leaving them. She also made a sketch of them that we love!! :)”

“Tarah is very responsive. She sends updates and pictures. She notices any changes in our baby dog. She is always on time and let's us know of any changes. We know our girl is taken care of when Tarah is watching her and gives us a peace of mind knowing she is safe. 5 out of 5 for sure. Highly recommend!”

“Dove was great with our cat Petey. She gave updates and pictures while she house and cat sat for us. Very kind person. Will definitely be asking for her to cat sit for us again.”

“Sent pictures and cared for our sweet girl”

“Ben was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat Clementine for several years as I would travel for work and on vacations. He is trustworthy and always attentive to our cat. Clementine was a very shy cat with most people but she always would perk up when Ben stopped by to visit. We would get a regular update on her while we were on vacation about Clementine. I highly recommend Ben.”

“Danni has regularly taken care of my 7 lbs. cat and 80 lbs. German Shepherd. She's welcomed by both of my pets, and they love seeing her. Danni takes great care of them and takes her time to play with them so they aren't lonely. Very prompt, conscientious, and loving would be the top three traits I would say describes Danni's care for my pets. Highly recommended.”

“Lisa took great care of our home and was so wonderful with our two pups! Were so grateful to her for a weekend away with no doggie worries. :)”

About: Longtime pet lover and owner. Volunteer dog walker and cage cleaner at SICSA. Volunteer animal caregiver at Aullwood Farm. I will take good care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and plenty of time to spend with your animal. I walk the dogs in my care daily at State Farm Park near my house or someplace close to yours. They are kept secure on a short leash at all times. I am recently retired as a bus driver for the RTA. I enjoy reading, making art, furniture refinishing and all outdoor activities. I can involve your pet in life enrichment activities. And I can safely transport your animal as needed. I now have certification as a Professional Pet-Sitter Dog-Walker (CPS-DW). Let me know if I can take your dog to obedience class as well. If you would like to scroll through my photos, I try to include a picture of all my animal customers. I enjoy taking photos that capture their unique personalities and the interesting things that they do. Mostly, they make me smile. If necessary, I can bring my services to you. Or, your pet can come to me. In your residence I will respect your home and property and follow all your directions as to your animal's care. At my residence I can crate your animal if they need respite. They can hang out with me in the house, on my sofa, or even in my bed! I will involve them in my daily activities and provide plenty of attention and reassurance. In addition, I love cats and all other animals. I am not averse to new experiences. If you have a bird, rabbit, chicken, turtle, hamster, lizard, snake (etc., etc.) that needs care, I'm your man!

“My daughter does a wonderful job caring for the pups when my husband and I are either working or vacationing! It's such a relief knowing she's there to keep our boys company. I'm very impressed with how quickly she trained our Rottweiler to swim and get himself in the tub for a bath afterwards! She's always been great with dogs and puppies alike and has a big heart for all of them.”

“Alliyah was absolutely amazing with my boys and sent me so many pictures and videos. I will definitely be using her again!!”

“He's very good with animals, very in tune with their emotions and needs. Highly recommended, cared for my four bulldogs for five days without complaints.”

“Katarinna provided us with excellent service. She is very conscientious keeping us fully informed during her stay with our dog. She was most attentive to our dog’s needs as he is a high energy dog and requires a significant amount of interaction.”

“Lashonna is the best pet sitter anyone can have. We love her attention to our cat (and former cats), and she is always looking out for them and us. Thank you!”

“Kara was fantastic! My dog and cat instantly took to her! She is very good with animals and was very polite and receptive to my instructions about the care and feeding! I will definitely use her again!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child, and have had my own pets my entire adulthood. I’ve been a dog and cat owner for 20 years and have experience with all ages. I own reptiles, and am able to provide in-home care for them. I also have experience with boarding guinea pigs. We have two adults who are home full time, so pets are rarely left alone. The only time that nobody would be home was if we had a family outing. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly small dogs to keep your pet company. When caring for a dog in your home, I will treat your home with care and respect.

“First time using Rover! Bekah is so awesome! She did a house visit and the poochies loved her! She’s very easy to communicate to and so polite and professional. I felt very at ease having her stay at the house and watch the dogs! Will 100% be using her again!”

About: I was in the Veterinary Science program at my school for 2 years. We learned how to do a physical exam on your pet, ensure quality care, and basic procedures like nail trims and bathing. I worked at a vet clinic after that for 4 months learning how to care for pets post-surgery, run basic labs, and spot the different signs of illness. I also recently worked at a boarding facility as a doggy daycare attendant. I would take dogs out in play groups, feed dogs, clean runs, etc. The facility also had cats and sometimes bunnies I would care for. I am looking to make this my full time job. I am available Monday through Friday to take excellent care of your wonderful fur babies! Preferably no bookings after 6pm. I will pay full attention to your pet and make sure they are safe at all times. I will make sure they get plenty of play time and lots of love! I treat my pets very well and other people’s like my own.
