12. Pamala A.
About: I've always been a pet owner until this past year. My dog had cancer and passed away. I'm good with both cats and dogs, don't have any problems caring for any breed. I'm semi retired so I have time on my hands. I work m-f but just a few hours a day. Always off on the weekend. I prefer caring for your pet in your home, my lease doesn't allow me to petsit unfortunately. Your baby will be in good loving hands .
13. Schuyler W.
“Schuyler has been a close friend for some time, and in that time I've seen how much she loves animals. She's very caring and proud of her dog Copper but will always take the time to give affection to others, like my Pitbull and my Rottweiler, both of which I would entrust with her if the need arose.”
14. Olivia T.
“Olivia loves dogs! She has volunteered at the local animal shelter for more than a year. She has two pups of her own that she adores. She loves cuddling with them, walking them and brushing them. When she isn’t home she likes to say hi to them via FaceTime. They bring her a lot of joy and love. Olivia has done dog sitting for several of our neighbors on multiple occasions and they always ask her to come back. She is very responsible with the dogs, and loves taking care of them.”
15. Richard B.
“Richard is, hands down, the best pet sitter I have ever had! He is extremely reliable, communicative, knowledgeable about all sorts of pet care, and goes the extra mile to make sure all my fur babies get the love and attention they crave. He is great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I've seen him charm even the shyest of cats with his calm nature. I highly recommend him as a trustworthy sitter for your furry family members!”

17. Madigan C.
About: Hi I’m Madigan! I’m a second year here at Ohio University. Back home I helped take care of and walk my dogs daily. I have a chocolate lab, bernese, and miniature pinscher. I also have dog sitting/walking experience outside of my own dogs. I have no problem walking any particular breed or size of dog. I already go on walks daily might as well bring along a friend! I exercise daily so fitting dog walking into my schedule won’t be a problem. I have plenty of time before/after class and work to attend to your dog. For my own dogs, I walk them once a day and would feed/water them. For clients, I follow the specified instructions left by the employer.

Not only is she patient with my animals but she takes the time to keep them occupied. She actually enjoys being around dogs and she is my go too pet sitter when in need.”
