About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12. I’ve have had 3 Yorkies and 3 hamsters. I love working with all animals. I took care of my senior yorkie with chronic heart failure during his last year, he took more medications than I do. I’m willing to help in anyway you need me. I am a nursing major but currently only have class on Mondays 8-3. Other than that I am free weekends and weekdays. I have time for just about anyone and any animal! I do not have a fenced in back yard. I do have a 7 month Yorkie puppy currently who loves everyone and anything. My family loves animals.
11. Charlotte L.
“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.”

We are both also working towards getting our animal science degrees at the University of Findlay! Making sure the pets are getting all of their needs is our number one priority! Providing the proper care the animals need on a daily basis is important to us and making sure the animals are doing their best is essential! Ensuring that we know all of the needs of the animal is important to us so that we can provide the best care for the animals. Making sure the animals are given the appropriate care and knowing they are healthy is our main priorities. Also giving them plenty of time to play and get exercise is an important part of caring!

Absolutely love working with large dogs. I love taking dogs to the dog park as well! I have experience raising six different puppies. I also have experience with fear biting dogs. I know how to handle minor injuries such as broken nails and stopping bleeding. Overall, dogs are by far the favorite of all the animals I have ever I owned. I am very much an animal person over all though and love animals over all. I provide lots of attention and love for any animals in mt car as well! 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. When taking care of your pet it is important the dog is comfortable. I like to let a dog warm up to me before petting or approaching.
17. Abigail G.
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.
18. Lilie B.
“She did a great job watching my 2 schnauzers while I was gone. They were well fed and taken care of with no issues. I would recommend using her services.”
19. Chelsea G.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors for over 4 years! I watched a variety of animals including cats, dogs, bunnies and horses. I love being able to spend time with animals, getting to walk and play with them and seeing them happy. Seeing them happy makes me happy. For payment I accept Venmo or cash! During the summer I’m very flexible and am available everyday. Once school starts up again I’ll have availability around lunch time and be free around 6. Some days I’ll have more availability. All pet sitting will be done at the clients home. Once school starts I’ll be living on campus and will not be allowed to have pets.
20. Savannah H.
About: I have taken care of multiple friends pets before! This led a love for all sorts of animals, but especially dogs! I later took on my own challenge with my rescue girl Juno! Juno has become my soul dog, and leaving her in someone else’s care has always been a great anxiety for me. So, I want to help make the vacations, work trips, and whatever else much easier and more fun when you have to leave your loved ones! Let me take care of your furry family members 😊 I work at a restaurant in town three days a week! Only part time, the rest of the time I am a full time student. Therefore, pet care works well into my schedule. It’s also very flexible to tend for your pets needs Pets taken care of in their home will be doing normal everyday things they usually do and enjoy! If your pet loves to play fetch in the yard or go for a walk in the neighborhood, we will fill our hours doing that, and after feeding or potty time, we will get a few cuddles in!
