About: … but God had other plans, and made me an Army VET instead!! Just love animals. I feel their energy and meet them where they are. Am a lifelong Animal lover and have lots of experience with both cats and dogs. Worked at an animal kennel, the zoo and assisted at a local veterinarian office in my teens. Have never lived without animals - they are family!!! I work remotely and am a momma. My routine revolves around getting my son too and from school. If I’m not on the road for work then my home routine is very flexible to whatever special need's your furry family may have. I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect. My son and I have lots of love to give! I am a nurse by trade and pay close attention to catch behavior changes or potential medical concerns.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I knew working with animals was what I wanted to do. I started with family members pets, then moved on to friends and friends of friends now I have lots of experience. I grew up on a farm, raising farm animals, participating in 4h, and racing horses. I’ve owned almost every small pet you could have while growing up. I take my care with animals extremely serious and I take pride in the exceptional care I can proved for animals. Pets have a huge soft spot in my heart and there is nothing more I’d rather do in life. I have experience with reptiles as well as administering medications. I have lots of reviews and references and a page on Facebook called “Happy Paws” you can feel free to check out as well! I’m a full time pet sitter, therefore I have open availability. I work a lot of odd hours so early mornings or late nights doesn’t bother me! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pets company. I don’t do crates unless requested by the owner. I’m home with your pet 24/7 so no need to worry about that. I have lots of toys and treats and I always separate during feeding time. I have a separate area your pet can be alone if they are nervous and need a calm environment!

“Josie accepted our very last-minute request to house sit our dog, which was such relief. She was really good with our dog and did a great job! Our dog, who is a bit shy of strangers at first, was comfortable with her right away. Josie sent us updates (including photos) daily, which were so nice to receive. She was also a very considerate “house guest”, even cleaning up after our dog who sheds daily and always drags dead leaves and stuff into the house on his furry feet. We highly recommend Josie and will not hesitate to request her services again. Thank you, Josie!”


“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”

“Alexis was amazing and the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were well taken care of, and they loved her! Can’t recommend Alexis enough!”


About: I always had either a cat or dog when i was growing up. I’ve always taken really good care of my pets. I’ve always loved them like children.

When in a clients home i will respect their wishes and routine for their fur babies. I will provide the utmost care to their pets and treat them like my own.

“Once again, Zoe went above and beyond! We came home to happy pets and total peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing our fur babies are in the hands of someone so responsible, loving, and reliable.

Please consider if you want your dog to be in excellent care! I am currently available full time to provide any pet care services. I am happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet.

About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.

About: I've personally had three dogs in my home while growing up. I have had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and frogs as well. I currently have four cats in my care and have taken care of other people's dogs. I am currently in school, gaining my certifications for pet boarding. I am looking to take care of animals in the morning and occasional weekends. I am open to caring for your animals in their home, I am not able to house animals at my own house or stay overnight at the moment.

“Super sweet, treated Bella great! She did play and interact some of the times. However, there was times she would be on her phone ignoring Bella. Some of the visits were shorter then I had wanted. I thought I had set the expectations and what I wanted. Overall, I'm glad I had someone to stop in with Bella. I would recommend making sure the expectations are clear and agreed upon, even though I thought they were.”


About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had a childhood dog and as I got older I took care of him. I have a three year old golden retriever with epilepsy. He requires the utmost attention and care. He truly is my child. I’ve dog sat before and give the same level of care as my own. I am currently a full time nanny. I’m available in the evenings and all day during the weekends. I may have flexibility when my schedule changes for last minute appointments. Safety is my number one priority! I will give your pet the same attention, care, and love as my own. They will receive the accommodation that you as the pet owner gives. My goal is to help and make it an easy and e joyful time for your fur baby.
