4. Lacey H.
About: I am usually the go-to person friends and family call to walk with and watch over their fur babies. I have a great amount of experience taking care of animals of all ages and sizes (including my own) for friends, family, and neighbors. I love to try and teach new tricks when possible to keep their minds active! Although I am in school while I work, there are set days where I don’t have class. With that there are several days when I am free to watch, check in on, or walk fur babies. When watching my own pets, I normally have them on a leash while outside since I don’t have a fenced in yard. I like to make sure my pets and other peoples pets aren’t outside in the heat for too long and have plenty of water breaks especially when playing. When walking my own or other people pets I don’t like to have them close to roads, I try to walk them in parks and on trails.

8. Lindsay H.
“Lindsay is great! She was wonderful with Ziggy and gave us updates about her visit and pictures of them having fun together! She even left a little gift bag for us! Would definitely recommend!”
9. Ness C.
“Ness is a great drop-in cat care person! One of my cats adored her—she was his food source after all! The other cat, who is quite neurotic and hides when anyone comes in the house, usually goes on an hunger strike when I’m gone but actually ate his food and even meowed for her one time. Ness’ quiet energy made everyone happy.”
10. Josie M.
“Josie was accepted into Kent State University to become a veterinarian technician. She has job shadowed at a local vets office. She has stepped up and pet sitted her teachers cat and dogs. We have 3 dogs, 5 cats, and two Ferrets of our own that she cares for daily. Including baths, feeding, and exercise. She has also taken care of snake. She has a love for any animal and it shows. She is dependable and reliable and would be a good asset to your company. I feel any animal would be well taken care of.”
11. Michael R.
“Michael is the first person I call, when I need someone to care for my dog. My dog is always so excited to see him, and he takes excellent care of him.”
12. Julie J.
“Julie J. Watched my furbaby Tia for several days last month while I was out of town. She sent me daily updates on what tia had done each day, I am a worrier this greatly eased my mind.”
