Cat Sitting in Blue Rock

“Great service, Ashlyn was very sweet and my cat loved her. It was so comforting to see his pictures while we were away and know he was well taken care of and happy!”

About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

About: I'm a dog trainer, AKC evaluator, and Red Cross‑certified in dog & cat first aid. With over two years at a pet store and experience as a professional bather, I know animals inside and out. Drop-in visits include a 30–45 min walk or play session, a quick training tip, and of course all the love I have to give. I specialize in puppies (potty training), reactive dogs, and teaching positive reinforcement. Your pup will get skilled, safe, and high quality care—just like family. I work as a dog trainer and make my own schedule, so everything is very flexible. I typically don’t work Sundays and teach group classes Wednesday evenings and Saturdays between 10-2pm. Other than that and the sporadic private lessons, my schedule is pretty open. Because I’m a dog trainer I know all the ins and outs of dog behavior and how to act accordingly. My broad knowledge from working at a pet store also gives me insight on things like diet, proper living conditions, care, and administering medication. I’m also cat and dog first aid certified through the American Red Cross.

About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and truly have a love of it. I have been taking care of other people's dogs for five years. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I am currently not working a normal job so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will have time for weekend and weekdays. I have a crate available for your pet if needed. There are two dogs where I live but both are very friendly and ready to play with new friends.

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I work does dog boarding/daycare/training. I am a kennel tech so I just take care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also take care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers are away. I have worked there for a year and absolutely love it. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really love my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. I have early classes most days of the week, 3 days out of the week they start at 8 and end at 12, then the other two days start at 8 and end at two. I work weekends at my job but I call off whenever needed so I can dog sit At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow

“Lena stayed at my house keeping my cats company for a week. She seemed to keep my cats very happy without me and left the house exactly how I left. Commutation was good and easy. I will hire again next time I need it.”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm and I've been around animals since I was a child. I have always had pets and currently own a Golden retriever (Milo) and two spoiled kitty cats (Klaus and Lyra). I was a vet assistant for a few years and have lots of experience taking care of others' animals. Let me care for yours ❤️. I understand all of their quirks and have no problem with special requests 😊 I'm a school counselor off for summer vacation so currently I have a lot of availability during the week. Let me come check on your pets during the day or if you need me to walk the dog (morning, day, or evening.. We have sheep And I grew up with cattle so I can also care for livestock while you are away. Think of me if you're going to be out of town I'll come and check on the house and your pets whatever you need. When I was in college I sometimes did house sit for people so I also have experience doing that if you need me to stay in your home a few nights or just come and check while you are away. Let me know what you need for your for babies.. I don't have a fenced in yard our dog has the halo collar, So if your pet needs a playdate I would be happy to bring him along. Or if you need a place for your dog to come and run and have a Halo caller we could set that up at my place.. Just let me know what your needs are and we'll work it out!😊

“Emily was great & made sure my cats were taken care of while we were out of state! They all have a unique personality and she rolled with the punches very well! She assisted us with getting our diabetic cat, Phil, picked up for a surprise boarding visit and made sure he had all his supplies with him. Lil and Tommy were missing us but she made sure they were well fed and loved! I would recommend her and definitely use her service again! Overall a great first time Rover experience!”

About: I have always had a dog or dogs since I was born! I started learning how to take care of dogs at the age of two. I have house sat for many lovely dogs, included walks /runs, over nights and drop ins. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. I have a full time job working 12:00-8:30 Monday-Friday (it’s a little more flexible right now because I am in training. I am free on weekends! I will follow the rules that are left for the care of your dog/dogs because all dogs are different and they love their routines! I will make sure they have the least disruption as possible to their normal life.

“Emma provided fantastic care for my 2 cats! She was flexible, communication was great, and I loved all the pictures she sent me of my girls. I’ve already booked my next reservation with her! My girls are usually shy but it made me so happy and at ease that they were comfortable playing and exploring with Emma here.”

About: I've been a dog mom for many years, caring for Jack Russel's, a Belgian Malinois and even spiders and snakes! Nothing phases me! Is your pet an escape artist? I'll run after them barefoot in my PJs (done this many times!). Is your pet grumpy? I'll love them anyways. Is your pet just unruly in general, requires special attention or demands you to stay on your toes? I've been there. I'm an active person and there's nothing I wouldn't do to help or care for your fur baby, that I wouldn't do with my own. Thanks for giving me a look and I hope to hear from you! I'm available most weekends and evenings. For walks during the day, I just need a little heads up! Looking forward to meeting your fur baby :) For in-home service, I will follow your babies routine to the letter! I know it's important to minimize changes in your pets environment, so they can be calm and happy in your absence :)

“The Fuzzie pets enjoyed their time with Autumn. I am glad for her assistance in taking care of the pets during this week. Autumn was very helpful and I appreciated her pictures of the pets during her visits. No Issues and I will be using her again... THANK YOU AUTUMN”

About: I treat every animal as if it were my own pet- with lots of love, care, and compassion. I’ve watched many many animals over the past couple years and have loved every second of it. I am currently only doing Instacart as my job so I am very flexible with the hours I’m able to do. I am able to come any time of day. I treat every animal as if it were my own. Lots of love and care go into every animal I watch/take care of. I try to make it so the animals aren’t focused on missing the owner as much.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child and have always babysit fur babies for all my friends and family while they are out of town. I love animals and will take great care of your pets! I currently work as an 8th grade special education teacher, with typical school hours and am free to take care of your pets everyday during the summer. I have a large yard for your fur babies to play. I have one dog of my own to keep your fur baby company and can easily crate your pet if needed.

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have a certification in Veterinary Assisting and am experienced in administering medications. Whatever your pets require (food, walks, play), I’ll be happy to provide! Experienced with pets of all ages and will send you pictures and videos of your pets if you’d like. I am currently a student at Muskingum University. As such, I will only be available to stay overnight on weekends, but I can work around my schedule to feed and check in on pets on weekdays. I live on campus at Muskingum University, which means I’ll be unable to care for pets in my own home. My care in your home depends on what you require for your pet. Whether you want me to check in on them briefly or spend some hours keeping them company, I will follow your orders. If possible, I like to meet with you and your pet before I start watching them so that we can go over any instructions and they can feel more comfortable around me. Depending on their personality and sociability, I am equally happy playing with them or giving them space and reading while I’m keeping them company.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.
