“Jacob took care of our three cats for our week-long vacation, providing daily medication to two of them. He was punctual for his visits and provided updates on how they were. I appreciate his reliability and taking good care of everyone while we were away.”
“Wendy did a great job taking care of my 2 (very shy) kitties. I will definitely be using her again. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that she was making sure the cats were okay. Thank you Wendy!”
“Kristin is great! She is very sweet with Stu and he loves her. And she always makes sure he gets pets and extra food, and takes great pictures! She's also been so helpful when I've had to leave town unexpectedly and I cannot thank her enough for it!!!”
“Charlotte was able to give us several days of drop-in visits for our sometimes curmudgeonly cat on short notice, even though neither she nor we had much Rover experience. I really appreciated her open communication about that. I also appreciated her coming (on time!) for our meet and greet and how responsive she was to texts. She let us know when our cat was sick, and she cleaned up after him - the house and litterbox were tidy and our cat was content when we returned home from our trip. I would request her service again. My only negative was that one time she was late or forgot to send a photo during the visit, which made me nervous the visit had not occurred; however, when I texted to check in, she was responsive and had been here. We also had some minor confusion about whether our cat was allowed outside between visits, and small details I wish I’d left better instructions about, but on the whole I feel she really cared about doing a great job to care for our pet and to communicate with us. I hope in the future she is available to visit or housesit for both of our pets.”
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: Student Affairs professional for OHIO and love all furry animals. I had an amazing Norwegian Elkhound Mix and 2 cats. Now I have 9 month lab mix and 1 cat. Both very friendly and good with everyone. I'm very patient, optimistic, and kind. I have experience with pups & senior dogs. I'm comfortable administering medication, including injections and promise to love your pet unconditionally while they are in my care. Depending on the needs of your pets they'll enjoy at least one walk a day, potentially a hike, and get plenty of attention throughout their stay with me. Before rescuing my current dog, I trained two Great Pyrenees from 6 months to 3 years for a friend. I'm comfortable with all dogs and cats and hope I can help provide care for you soon! During the school year I work from home 2 days a weeks and in the summer 3 days! This gives me plenty of flexibility to check on your pets as needed. Additionally, I have the flexibility to check during my lunch break if needed when I'm in the office. I have a fenced in backyard and will gate off sections of our home until we know the dog is comfortable in our home and with our dog & cat. We block off the stairs to keep them on the ground floor with us.

Right now i’m mostly available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4. Summer is coming up so my availability will open up! I have no issue cleaning up after the pet and cleaning litter boxes. I can also ensure they have fresh water and if needed food at my visits.

Emily F.
“Emily has watched my dog on a few occasions. She is great with him. She stays engaged the whole time by playing, walking and petting him. He is always excited to see her and I know it's because she does so much with him while sitting. I would recommend her 100%!”
Paige K.
“Paige is WONDERFUL, and I would trust her with my dog any day :) when I had her watch my pup for the weekend, she took amazing care of him. She did the obvious (let him out, fed him, walked him), as well as took him on a long hike so he could get out, get some fresh air, and let his energy out. She is someone who genuinely cares about animals, and she would do an exceptional job with any animal who is in her care.”
Dakota S.
