About: I recently worked in a professional dog kennel/daycare facility, so I have an understanding of how to read a dog's behavior and how to ensure their safety. I have open availability and can be flexible around your schedule. I’m a local to Youngstown and am an animal lover. If you're in my neighborhood, you may have even seen me walking my own dogs. I have no breed biases and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I have experience ranging from Danes, Doodles, Pitbulls, a Cane Corso, and even tiny dog mixes such as the Bichon Frisé. I can provide references upon request as I understand that it’s often stressful making sure your pets are in trustworthy hands. I’m comfortable working with animals of all ages. I am available for Dog walking, drop-ins, and Pet sitting in their own homes. Unfortunately, I cannot host pets at my own residence. If you are searching for help caring for an elderly neighbor's or relative's pet, I can work with you on a price, provided they're in my neighborhood. I am not a dog trainer, nor do I have experience professionally training dogs. However, if you have any specific training you are working to accomplish. I am willing to work with you for those requests within reason, provided they are things that your dog is somewhat familiar with, or that you, yourself, or your own personal dog trainer is working to do. Just keep in mind I am not a dog trainer; I simply understand the need for consistency in working with commands for your dog. I typically go on walks or hikes in my free time. I also love to spend my free time playing with the fluffy friends in my own home ♥️. Unfortunately I’m currently unable to watch pets at the place I am residing. I may be able to sometime in the future and I will update my profile if anything changes. SAFETY FIRST: I have a dog belt to ensure that accidents don’t happen where a dog could get loose. I also provide my own leashes and walking supplies as an additional precaution and wash them between dogs to prevent any spread of parasites or illnesses. I have a dog water bottle to ensure hydration on hot summer days. DISCLAIMER: If I feel it is too hot to walk a dog or that the weather is unsafe. I will notify you reschedule or refund you if payment was already taken. Your dogs safety comes first; with flat faced, elderly, fluffy or large/giant breeds; there is a very very real risk of heatstroke. I am also fully willing to accept cancellations without fees if you believe within reason it is unsafe weather to walk your dogs.

“Maya has taken my dog on two walks now and I'm very satisfied with the results. My dog, "Sissy" gets bored easily and starts to find her own "entertainment". After Maya spent time with Sissy, Sissy was content with lounging around the house until I got home from work. Maya sent pictures and quick updates of the visit assuring me that Sissy was getting great care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life!! They make my heart happy!! The unconditional love they show is astounding!! They heal me. I’m currently going to be having some time off for health reasons. I can drop in and check on pets, feed them, take them for walks, or just snuggle!! I have three Dogs and three cats of my own that I adore. I will treat your pet as if it were my own!! I have no human children, so, my pets are my children.

About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life. I treat them like my babies, so yours will be considered family as well. I have watched cats and dogs throughout the years for family, friends, and neighbors. I treat your fur babies as if they were mine. I currently work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows for me to take care of the animals when needed. I love spending time with animals, so I'm happy to share my time with them. I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I would follow all guidelines you would leave for me. I would be sure to play with them and give them lots of attention.

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they are my own and take the time to learn their personality, routines, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I make communication and updates a priority. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’m currently a ysu student commuting from home in the Austintown area. I work in home health care 2-4 times a week. I have lots of free time to care for your pets! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a clean and comfortable space. I also give pets the time they need to feel comfortable with me and always respect their personality and boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs/cats my entire life, from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and relaxed as possible—as if you never left. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, and I want you to enjoy your trip without worrying about your furry family member. I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. As a bonus, I also enjoy tidying up, so if you’re comfortable with it, you’ll come home to a happy pet and an even cleaner house. One of the biggest benefits I offer is flexibility. I work in medical device sales, which means I’m local and make my own schedule. Because of that, I can stop by throughout the day to let your pets out, give them potty breaks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply some extra love and attention. Your pet won’t be left alone all day, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for whenever they need it. I’m very aware of my surroundings and will always make sure to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Most of them time I enjoy cuddling up on the couch and watching a good show right by your pets side

“Stephanie is great!! She sends me photos of Zanya on their walks along with a step counter and I love that. She's very responsive and always updates on how their walks went. Bonus because I have a lot of exotic pets as well and she doesn't discriminate 🥰 Great dog Walker and pet sitter!”

About: I have had pets through out my entire life. I love animals and caring for them and have pet sat multiple different types and breeds of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, dogs, cats, fish, birds, etc. I have 2 cats of my own currently. There are some pictures of them on my profile! I work full time during the week. I am still able to do lunch visits as well as morning and evenings and over night stays as well. I am able to do drop in visits and walks on days off or during my lunch break or pet sitting for animals able to be alone around 4 or so hours of the day. Every home is different and although I would be taking care of your pets in your space. It is important to me to respect your space. I am a firm believer of the “leave it better than you found it” rule. I am able and willing to follow any and all rules given.

About: Like many sitters, Ive been a multi-pet owner my whole life. If there is not at least one animal in the same room as I am it feels empty! After selling the gym I operated for 15 years, I have found myself in Ohio with plenty of time and energy to give to your four legged friends! I also spent 9 months living on a working farm during graduate school and have hands on experience with a variety of domesticated farm animals. I currently have a flexible schedule. My previous career as a personal trainer has gotten me used to high energy days with back to back appointments, so I can handle walks of different distances or speeds. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me, and along with the owners instruction and insights into their pets, I strive to maintain a safe and positive environment for all.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. I have lifelong experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with plenty of attention, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your best friend is in loving, reliable hands. 🕐 Flexible & Open Availability! 🐾 I have open availability throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets! Whether your pup needs overnight care, a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra playtime and companionship, I’m here to help. 🐶❤️ My flexible schedule means your pets can receive individualized care, attention, exercise, and plenty of love while you’re at work, traveling, or simply need an extra hand. Your pup will stay on a peaceful farm surrounded by nature and friendly goats, with plenty of room to relax, play, and enjoy their home-away-from-home experience! 🐐🌿 They’ll have access to a spacious, air-conditioned indoor play area as well as a fully fenced outdoor space for safe play and exercise.

“Jeannine was so helpful to us when we had another dog walker cancel last minute!! She stepped in & did an amazing job with Oakley! He loved the belly rubs & her company, I’ll definitely keep her in mind the next time we need a sitter!”

“Cara was great with Darby. He takes a little to warm up to people and she didn't give up on him. After a slow start they made it out for their walk and he did well with her.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and family for as long as I can remember! Currently have a female Siberian Husky, female Yorkie, and male Golden Retriever at home. I also grew up with 2 Golden Retrievers and a Beagle. I’ve always had a deep care and understanding for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a walk, dog park, hike, etc. I’m always excited and ready to bring the fur babies along! I’m currently home everyday of the week and have a lot of free time and flexibility to take care of your pets, even at same days notice! I have a house in the Harvey Park neighborhood with a large, fenced-in backyard. I’m home everyday with my own dogs who are very friendly and always welcome new friends. There’s a nice walk around a small lake within half a mile and plenty of other walking/hiking areas nearby.

About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.
