“Emily did a great job with my pack . Even handled the unpleasant task of cleaning up after a sick dog. I was very comfortable leaving them with her for the first time. They seemed really comfortable with her and the house was in great shape when we got home. I would book her again!”
“We have had more “meh” experiences in the past with house/dog sitters. It has made me really not want to travel because of the anxiety leaving them creates. Sydney’s stay and care she provided to our 4 furkids has renewed my faith in people. A few days before we left, she visited and I shown her around, she met our bunch. She was prompt getting to our home after we left. Her & I texted off & on over the course of the 4 days we were away. She sent photos & videos ❤️🐶❤️ And she was present with them the vast majority of the entire stay. We returned to a clean & tidy home and best of all - 4 happy , yet chill furkids. They were excited to see us but obviously received wonderful attention the entire time. I would highly recommend Sydney and I’m excited to get another getaway on our calendar soon ❤️”
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.
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!😊
“Brittany was great! She was perfect for giving Shadow attention and making him feel comfortable. She also sent pictures and communicated with me regularly while staying with him. I would definitely use her again!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for years. I have 25 pets of my own and love every animal. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work part time and am off on weekends which gives me some flexibility. I am also available at night and in the evenings! When I am watching your pets at your home I follow the schedule that I’m given. I’ll include walks as well. When they’re at my house I have crates and a large back yard.
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.
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.

Morgan S.
“I have witnessed Morgan’s love for animals, especially dogs, for many years. I have seen her on her daily runs, always accompanied by a dog. I have friends for whom she has house/dog sat on several occasions. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with mine. Robin S.”
Trudy T.
“I have known Trudy since college days, for over 20 years. She worked as a vet assistant while in college and has always had a love of animals. We even had a cat at our apartment while in college! We've taken our dogs with us camping! She took in her dog, Milo as a re-home and was able to get him off ALL of his prescription anxiety meds because what he needed was daily vigorous excersise and extra love and care and understanding. She has cats and sheep as well. As a school counselor she uses her patience and empathy skills to really get to know your pet and listen to what you, the owner needs. Trudy really has a special talent for caring for animals and I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed with the level of quality and attention to detail.”
