About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!

About: For awhile I have had dogs and cats all over me. Growing up I have been in charge of family pets occasionally just making sure they are loved and fed. I also have dog/cat sit a few times for my friends/neighbors while they are on vacation. I have also done a good job on following directions and taking care of issues. Right now I am in college at Ohio University, I definitely have time to watch any animals you have anytime before or after my classes and during the weekends! I have two black labs and two cats that I love endlessly, I play with them all the time making sure they are played with and fed well, as well as my family does too. One of my dogs has been through surgery for back legs after both tore ACL which causes to limp and with that, I know ways to help care for in a situation for any dogs.

“Nessa was great! She did house visits with our cats for 5 days. She sent pictures and always let us know how they were doing. Would have her watch the cats again!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as bunnies and cats. I am also familiar with pet anxiety and protective/territorial dogs. My friends and family have also had me pet-sit for them multiple times. I currently have a part-time job that is closed on Sundays and Mondays. I usually work from around 12-6 pm on Saturdays and 4-6pm on Thursdays. Besides my job, I just have classes throughout the day during the week and I am available in between. I make sure to keep non-toys out of reach and I make sure to inspect the yard before letting pets outside. I also follow the owners’ instructions very closely. Updates are provided to owners regularly.

About: I have personal experience being raised with various animals. I’ll treat your furkid as if my own with lots of love, attention, and patience. I’ll even send updates or photos cause who doesn’t enjoy receiving a picture of their pet?! I am a full time student attending OU. My schedule consists of classes from 9:30am to 2pm most weekdays. Weekends I am free anytime for any service. I do have a bunny- during house sitting services I will need to leave periodically to take care of him. I will care for your pet as if my own, all I ask is for info about your pet to keep things running smoothly and to limit any possible stress on all parties. This may include feeding info, behavior warnings or indicators, favorite activity (my dog likes playing hide and seek), etc. Never feel like any info or communication is too much, I will always appreciate it. Updates from my end will always be given to ensure satisfaction, safety, and simple engagement.

“Great cooperation and communication, took very good care of my rabbit!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages. My mom, a former veterinary technician and now a professional dog trainer, has taught me how to properly care for dogs—from playful 3-month-old puppies to senior dogs with special needs. Thanks to her guidance and my own experience, I’m confident in handling a variety of pet personalities and situations. I understand how important it is to give pets not just basic care, but also attention, patience, and love—because they’re truly part of the family. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I’m on summer break and have an internship from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays. Outside of that, I’m available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and again from 2:30 PM to 9:00 PM. This allows me to offer reliable and flexible care for pets throughout the day, including morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening routines. I care for pets in their owners' homes by following a consistent routine that ensures their comfort and well-being. This includes feeding them, taking them out for walks in the morning and evening, and providing bathroom breaks in the afternoon and before bedtime. I always make sure they feel safe and cared for by giving them plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’m experienced in properly putting on collars and harnesses, and I stay alert to any signs of concerning behavior so I can respond appropriately and keep the pet safe and calm.

“Charlotte was able to give us several days of drop-in visits for our sometimes curmudgeonly cat on short notice, even though neither she nor we had much Rover experience. I really appreciated her open communication about that. I also appreciated her coming (on time!) for our meet and greet and how responsive she was to texts. She let us know when our cat was sick, and she cleaned up after him - the house and litterbox were tidy and our cat was content when we returned home from our trip. I would request her service again. My only negative was that one time she was late or forgot to send a photo during the visit, which made me nervous the visit had not occurred; however, when I texted to check in, she was responsive and had been here. We also had some minor confusion about whether our cat was allowed outside between visits, and small details I wish I’d left better instructions about, but on the whole I feel she really cared about doing a great job to care for our pet and to communicate with us. I hope in the future she is available to visit or housesit for both of our pets.”

“I was so relieved to have found Madison. My senior rescue cat is incredibly afraid of anyone new, but I knew it was a good sign when she sniffed Madison when she reached out to her! She was gentle with her. It gave me peace of mind to see photos of my little fuzzball when I was away (even when she was hiding). I’ll definitely ask for Madison’s help again in the future.”
