About: I love animals of all kinds! At home, I have one dog, Stryker, one cat, Kimber, and two pet rats, Top and Henry. I have also previously had an aquarium with some tetra fish :) I am currently studying zoology, so I am always around animals of all shapes and sizes! From my schooling and previous work, I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs, small birds, cats, small mammals (ferrets, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits), goats, chicken, reptile, and some fish and amphibian experience. I also have experience with pets who have strict diets, medication, take live food, and other dietary issues. I am a full time student at Otterbein University, with a part time job on campus. I am available on weekends and most week nights. I am flexible and can work with you, so that we can find the perfect schedule for your furry friend! I am a reliable, responsible and respectful individual. My mission is to make your pet feel as loved by me as they do by you, while respecting your space, your rules and most importantly your pet!

About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have tried to become as knowledgeable as I can in all things dog, but am always willing to learn new things to better suit yours pups needs! I am working towards becoming an Animal Behaviorist! Dogs are my whole life and my goal is to give them the love and appreciation that they deserve, and meeting all their needs so they aren’t as stressed when their parents have to go somewhere! I work at a dog groomer, as well as a store in a neighboring town. My hours would be no later or earlier than 8:45am - 4pm. I do my absolute best to work with all schedules to best suit pet parent’s needs and am always up for a meet and greet to discuss needs! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me, as well as any and all care instructions!

About: Trusted pet sitter with years of rescue & foster experience. Specializing in cats and small-to-medium dogs—including terriers, labs, retrievers & hounds. As a long-time animal lover, foster, and rescue volunteer, I understand how much your pets mean to you because mine mean the world to me, too. Over the years, I’ve welcomed dogs and cats from all walks of life into my home, offering patience, care, and love while they wait for their families, whether for the weekend or forever. At home, I share life with two wonderful companions: Gus, my gentle Maine Coon mix who became my gardening sidekick after finding me one summer in the Franklin Park neighborhood, and Dennis, my sweet and shy miniature poodle whom I fostered and then adopted. I’ve fostered several dogs this year and have loved and learned from them all. Each has their own story, and together they remind me daily of the joy pets bring into our lives. I’ve cared for many animals over the years, from Jack Russell mixes Daisy and her daughter Pearl, to a big-hearted hound named Andy, to rescued puppy-mill survivors like Dennis. My rescue work includes everything from daily feeding and walks to helping shy or fearful dogs feel safe again. I even keep a carrier in my car just in case I come across a lost animal because I believe in helping wherever I can. I’ve also had unique opportunities, like caring for two cavapoos during a stay in Washington State. Experiences like these deepened my love for one-on-one pet care, especially calm walks, drop-in visits, and creating safe, low-stress environments. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. Between caring for my own pets and fostering through rescue, my days already include walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit in drop-in visits and walks throughout the day or evening. Weekends are often open for longer visits or extra time with your pets. Because I live with both cats and a small dog, I’m experienced at balancing different needs and personalities, and I always bring that same patience and consistency to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a quick midday walk, a calm evening check-in, or weekend companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and part of my daily rhythm. I care for my own pets — and those in my home — with love, attentiveness, and respect for their unique routines. I follow my housemate’s preferences when caring for her cat, just as I did in my previous home with three beloved dogs, each with their own needs and quirks. I bring that same level of care to every client visit. Whether I'm walking your pup or dropping in to check on your cat, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in your absence. Providing a detailed list of your pet’s routine and preferences helps me deliver the best possible care and gives us both peace of mind. Finally, I’m currently pursuing Red Cross Pet First Aid certification to provide an extra layer of safety and peace of mind for the pets I care for. While I already bring years of foster and rescue experience, I believe in always learning more to give every pet the best possible care.

This was my first time ever using a petsitter. I was worried that with Lily needing a pill crushed up and added to her food that it was going to be hard to find someone. Chloe was amazing. I gave her all the instructions, showed her where everything was and she showed up on time for each meal. We take weekend trips here and there and I'm hoping this will be the start of a great connection for Lily and Mistletoe.

Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!

About: I have been helping out family, friends and neighbors for years. Whether the animals come to my place or I go to theirs. My sister and I had 2 Yorkie mixes that were 15 and 17 years old with special diets/needs. So following food plans/exercises is important to me. I’ve cared for dogs that have ranged all sizes (German shepherd, wheaten terrier, Yorkie mixed, bully mix, and a few more) and ages. I have a full time job and I’m looking for something parttime. I work Monday through Friday from 6a-230p so I would be able to assist anytime after I get off. I would be available anytime on the weekends. I do live with my older sister, her name is Courtney. She would be helping me out some days (I have a picture of her in my profile). We do have a fenced in yard, which during the spring/summer time we will keep the back door open to allow the dogs to go out as much as they would like. The surrounding dogs in our suburb area are friendly but I always still treat it with caution. Dogs are allowed on the couch/bed (if this is something you are okay with).
