House Sitting in Belle Vista, Youngstown, OH

About: Hi! My name is Ali. I have been a dog parent/lover my whole life! And through that love of dogs I saw a passion! I love caring for others animals- I work part time at a dog boarding facility and day care! So I’ve learned many things about enrichment, how to give medicines including insulin! I have 2 dogs myself that are senior boys so I have experience with the older pups as well as puppies. I’m currently part time at the bed and biscuit inn as I mentioned. So I will have plenty of time to drop in on your fur kids and give them the attention and love they may need! I am very much into giving my dogs the choice to cuddle or give love -I don’t force them. I like to give the dogs the attention they deserve while respecting their boundaries (we all have boundaries and things we like and don’t like) I have learned how to read body language of a dog as well as signs of dehydration etc. As you can see from my services I also offer in-home boarding. So, I will have a dog (or a couple) in my secure apartment. It’s quite roomy- and you’ll receive SO many photos and a personalized text from your pet detailing how their stay is going!

“We could not be more grateful and pleased that Samm agreed to watch our dogs, both of whom are in their later years and one of which has some significant health issues. Samm doted on our dogs and sent us lots of pictures while we were away. Samm was a delight and we will certainly ask her to watch our dogs again in the future.”

“Jeannine gets a gold star plus plus plus rating for her 10 day stay with Penny in our home. She loved and cared for Penny and our home with ? % dedication, thoughtfulness and a wholehearted desire to please that went beyond expectations. Jeannine is impeccable with her word, completely reliable, followed my instructions/guidelines to the letter, was flexible, gave lots of daily updates & pictures and communicated with clarity and directness. She cleaned our house before she left… including washing and changing the sheets! Her caring giving all around is tops! She is a terrific human that would serve you well. I tipped her like I’ve never tipped before! Penny and I adore her ?”

“Cydni is very kind and loving with all types of animals and she has years of experience with dogs, cats, horses, birds and exotic animals such as ferrets, chinchillas, guinea pigs and lizards. She always very kind and gentle with all types of animals.”

“I have known Heidi for over 5 years, she is a very devoted pet owner. I have seen first hand the sincere love, and dedication she shows to all pets in her care. She is a very responsible and trustworthy person, I would definitely request her for your pet sitting needs, you won't be disappointed!”

“Amanda is a very sweet and personable person! She really cares about the animals she cares for and she spoils them while their owners are away. I will always recommend her simply because she cares and is a person I can trust with my critters!”

“All I can say is WOW! Shawn took such good care of all four of my fur babies. I had to book a little last minute and Shawn was so accommodating. When I returned from my trip the dogs and cats were happy and healthy, and the house was cleaner than when I left it! I highly recommend Shawn for any pet sitting needs :)”

“Brianna was an excellent dog sitter for Sadie. Sadie has many allergies and requires medication and she was able to make sure Sadie received every pill and watched for any reactions with her new medication.”

“Elizabeth does a great job when we leave our English bulldog and Alaskan malamute in her care. They get excited by hearing her name and knowing that she’s coming. 10 out of 10 service and care to the animals.”

“I believe Ava to be an excellent candidate for being a pet caregiver due to her extremely mature and responsible nature. She is highly trust worthy and will make sure your pet receives the best care. Your pet is in the safest hands with her!”

“Haley was so great with Teddy! Sends pictures and keeps you up to date ?”

“This was Katelyn’s first house sitting opportunity and our first Rover experience. So we were both a little anxious. I’m happy to say the experience was very positive. Our dogs(2) liked Katelyn and seemed to be comfortable with her from the meet and greet . She feed them walked them and played with them and our little one slept with her. She would send us texts and pictures in the course of the day. When we returned they were like we never left which is always a good sign. We will definitely use Katelyn again the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Sienna is so sweet and caring, always goes the extra mile! She loves animals of all shapes and sizes and will make sure your fur babies are well taken care of so you can have peace of mind while you're out 😌”

“McKenzie is a dog mom of 1 to a golden named Rover. Safe to say that McKenzie is the best dog mom and loves all dogs unconditionally. She is the person you want taking care/walking your dog when you have a long day at work.”

“Michelle was wonderful with my Bella. Michelle sent me photos and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend her for house sitting with your precious pets ( family members!)”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have always adopted my pets and think it's very important for them to have forever homes. I help with a non-profit group called No Fear Rescue which helps dogs go from foster homes to permanent houses! I am going back to school in the Fall, and I think this would be an excellent way to do something I love and earn money for school. I have flexible hours to help out. I understand people have busy lives and dogs need exercise or sometimes just a bathroom break. I haven't met a dog that I don't like. They are such loving animals that are also part of families. I love outdoors and exploring parks with my furry friends. I'm currently in my final year of college and this part time job fits perfectly. Gives me the best break from the books and flexible hours. I am very hands on with pet sitting and your pets care is my number one priority. I always learn the routine that is already set with the pets to make sure every visit is fun and safe!

“Cindy was great with my Calvin! He was happy and well taken care of the couple days I was gone and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future when I leave town.”

“Linzy was great! She truly loved our dog while we were away. She sent frequent updates, with photos and videos of Baxter. She walked him twice (more than we do) and overly communicated when she needed to leave the house for a bit. She was great and we’ll certainly utilize her services in the future!”

About: I've worked in pet insurance for 4 years and have multiple points of contact if any concerns arise with a pet. I can administer insulin and give medication and follow a strict schedule. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible therefore I can attend to your pets needs right away if they need something. My available days will alternate every other week but we can schedule something. I am in a pet friendly apartment building if I would bring your pet to my residence as long as the larger animals can handle stairs. I can perform any function in the owner's home that is needed by me for the pet with no wait time of the pet's needs.

“Although Avi recently took care of our dog and cat while we were gone for a week, he’s been our pet sitter for a while (which included a feisty gecko!) When we came home, both animals were so happy to see us but also sad to see Avi go. In the amount of time my husband and I witnessed him interacting with our beloved pets, he was very sweet and warm toward them. Even when our dog was initially barking protectively, Avi took his time, went slow, and gave positive reinforcement the whole time to gain trust. We love that we know we can count on Avi to keep their routines and keep them happy and cared for when we go away for any length of time!”
