House Sitting in Botkins

About: I have cared for cats and many different breads of dogs over the past several years. Not only will I provide quality care for your pet(s), but I will love them as if they were my own. My availability to care for your pets in your home is flexible. I am open to daytime, evening, or overnight hours. I am also available for extended time periods while you are away. I will come to your home to care for your pet(s), which will allow them to remain in the comfort, safety and security of their familiar environment.

“Karen was great! She house sat for us for 10 days while we were on vacation. During that time she took daily pictures and provided us with many updates. We really appreciated her checking in with us with any questions and making sure certain treats were ok for our doggo with a sensitive stomach. We will be using her again in the future!”

“Bren has been incredible. She really goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs are safe and that are enjoying the time with her. I look forward to the pictures everyday and I really feel at ease when they are with her.”

“Kara was fantastic - she and her lovely dog Loretta stayed with our dog for 2 full weeks while we were away. Lucy was super happy and well cared for and Kara did an amazing job watching our house as well. She even graciously dealt with calling our landlord about a leaking sink and she left our house super clean. Thanks for everything!!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them. At one point in time I took care of 7 new born kittens after they were thrown out and abandoned from their mother, I used to live on a farm and took care of farm animals from sun up till sun down, and now I have so much free time I don’t know what to do with it haha

About: I've taken care of many different dogs since I was a kid. Family friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I am a recent college graduate so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am more than willing to adjust my plans to ensure your pets always have the care they need! I have cared for many different pets with all sorts of medical and behavioral needs. Whether your pets needs round the clock care or just a nice long walk while you're at work I will make sure they get what they need.

About: I've worked at a doggy day care from 2023-2025 and only stopped because I moved to Ohio from out of state. I have limited puppy training experience, and a good understanding of dog and cat behavior. I also have reptile experience as I owned a California King Snake before moving. Available Monday through Friday from 10am-3:30pm. Saturday from 9am-12pm. I am currently taking time away from working, so I have plenty of time to spend helping take care of your pets! And I will treat every animal with the same level of compassion and respect, because I know that they are more than just animals you live with. I am always alert and watching the mood of animals, so I will be able to ensure they are safe and get along. Crating or separating if needed. And I can help with administering medications.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.

“Kaitlin is very kind and nice, did extra activity with our dogs and left our place cleaner than she found it! We would highly recommend and ask her to care for our 2 goldens again. Nellie and Maria would agree! Thank you Kaitlin Jeff and Jodi”

About: I have taken care of my friends dogs and absolutely love taking care of animals. Enjoy having them around the house. I am very friendly and my dog Poppy gets along with others. I am currently working full-time through the school year. I have my summers off Starting in June. So will have more time in the summer and fall. Will have some in the winter. I have a fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play. I also can crate if needed as well. My back yard is big so plenty of room to run.

About: I went to Ohio hi-point career center for animal science and really hope to work with animals. I have dog sat multiple times for family and will always make sure your friends are being properly cared for. I am currently working at build a bear and am completely free when I’m not at work. I will usually have around 4 or 5 days a week that I work and I don’t work more than 5 or 6 hours. I’m open to caring for pets anyway that the owner wishes and will always try my best to make sure your pets are fed properly, getting the attention they need, and being taken outside when needed for dogs.

“Ben did such a great job! Even my shy and less friendly cats grew to like him and be out and about the house when he was here. He sent me daily updates and some great photos. Truly the most relaxed I’ve been on a vacation recently, knowing my cats and my house were in such good hands.”

About: I worked for an AKC dog handler since 2011. 10 years grooming and training all sizes. From a Pomeranian to​ a giant Schnauzer. I have 1 dog and 5 cats. I am a very active person. I have had animals since I was little. To me they are a stress reliever. I can bathe and dry and trim nails and remove lose hair. I try to find things to do or in nature with my animals as much as possible. I'm 46 and my dog is 8. I am offering boarding and day care. I wake up at 7am for the day. Feed at 11am and let dog out as much as every 2-3 hours. I also will do a 30 minute leash walk down the road. Feeding playing with and making sure they are comfy before I leave. I also will text if I have a question about something I don’t know about their pet The picture on my profile is the spot where they’ll be boarded at during night and if your dog and mine don’t mix well your dog will be just have that whole room to himself with baby gates. I spend my day in front room which is only 3 steps away from that room.

About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.

“Tatum was the most respectful, loving, and caring sitter for my new puppy! She was very knowledgeable about dogs! She did everything I asked and followed directions clearly. Tatum also sent me a ton of pictures and text updates throughout her stay at my apartment. I am so happy I found her as my sitter!!! After I had a tough time with a different sitter in the past, she definitely made me feel comforted that my puppy was taken care of. Very professional care! I will be using her as much as possible!”
