“I was impressed with Catherine from start to finish. My pets immediately took to her, and she gave them lots of love and care while I was away. She sent regular updates and pics, and I felt very comfortable with her caring for them in my home. I was extremely impressed and happy with her and her service. Highly recommend her!”


“Shelley is awesome! She is very attentive for our fur babies and they loved her too!! She took great care of our house and went the extra mile (or 5) to assure we and the babies were happy. Will definitely ask her to watch the girls again!!”

I work night shifts and don’t get home till 3 am and thankfully Kori stayed up with Jameson all night while we work through house training him!”


About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home in the country. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a dedicated animal care professional with over two and a half years working at an animal sanctuary, where I handle a wide range of species from birds of prey to reptiles. Beyond the sanctuary, I’ve volunteered with my local Humane Society, walking dogs and socializing cats, and have been a lifelong pet owner of dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals like hamsters. I also regularly house- and pet-sit for friends and coworkers, so I understand how important it is to provide loving, dependable care while you’re away. I’m responsible, respectful of your home and pet’s needs, and passionate about keeping animals happy and safe. I’d love to help care for your furry or scaly family members with personalized attention and kindness! I currently work part-time at an animal sanctuary, usually from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Saturday through Wednesday. That means I have availability in the early mornings, evenings, and all day Thursday and Friday for pet care. I’m a night owl by nature, so late-night visits or overnight stays work well for me too! I love fitting pet care into my week—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their animals and their space with the utmost respect. I follow any instructions carefully, keep the environment clean, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for. I’m attentive to routines—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—and I always make sure pets get the affection and attention they need while you're away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Marcy was great she stepped up at the last minute when someone cancel at the last minute. My dog is on meds every eight hours so it was important to have someone stay with her and Marcy was dependable. I was able to relax and enjoy a few days away. I was comfortable with her and didn't feel the need to check up on her constantly. I will use her services again and highly recommend her!”


About: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me. I am between jobs right now, and I want to fill that time doing what I love. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not allow dogs. I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.


About: I have been watching dogs and house sitting for over 5 years. I have also trained a service dog but am not a certified trainer yet! I am going to school full-time and working part time Monday through Thursday till 3:00pm. Free anytime outside of that time frame. Travel back-and-forth from Hubbard to Kent and Columbus quite frequently. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I provide personalized attention, ensuring each pet feels secure and loved in a familiar environment. For in-home dog sitting, I maintain their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging outings tailored to their energy level and personality. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are happy and well-cared for.

“Derek sent me pictures daily of my puppy playing. My dog warmed up to him immediately when arranging the meet and greet. Look forward to using again in the future when needed. Thank you!”


About: I grew up around animals and spent a lot of time with them. From dogs to cats and even a squirrel. Pet sitting for friends and family when they would go out of town.

About: My schedule is extremely flexible so I'm able to drop in last minute when needed.

I own my own small business selling handmade items online so I truly make my own schedule. I never work on weekends and I'm flexible on weekdays and can fit your animals schedule into my day. I have a fenced yard at my own house. I can either let your dogs out in an enclosed yard or leash them for walks and potty breaks. Any cats boarded in my house will have an entire guest room to themself if they are not comfortable around dogs. My dogs have been around cats multiple times and are very cat friendly.

About: I’ve taken care of the dogs in my neighborhood and family for about six years now. I can take care of senior animals and animals recovering from medical procedures.

I return from school at about 3 pm. I have a large yard with an invisible electric fence that I’m willing to walk through if shock collars aren’t an option for your animals. I live with my parents and we also have two dogs of our own— both are very friendly. I can also crate your dogs if needed. My home is smoke free and has a large porch+dog door that way pets can be outside without the risk of getting lost in the neighborhood.
