About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I love walking and playing with dogs. When I’m not in school I take care of my dog Sadie. I’m currently studying aviation at wright state. I’m available for drops in and spending the nights on weekdays and available all day on weekends. If you have a un fenced yard I will watch the dog outside and I can easily put a dog into a crate if needed.
“Karen is dependable and punctual! She is very professional and at the same time I can tell my dog really enjoyed his walks with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I will not hesitate to request her again. Her knowledge about dogs is also extremely helpful. I needed someone to walk my dog after a surgical procedure and I couldn’t be more happy that I chose Karen.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 9 years old when I got my first cat named Midnight. I have had Australian Shepherds, dachshunds, Bengal cats, a Pomeranian (who will be 14 this year). You name it I have probably cared for it! I just absolutely love animals and always tell people I prefer them over humans lol I have been working from home for 6 years and am able to easily manage watching over fur babies while I work. I get an hour for lunch as well which gives me plenty of time during my work schedule to go for walks if the weather permits. I have a nice fenced in backyard, a safe neighborhood and no kids. My dog is definitely a spoiled princess and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would love to spoil your baby as well!
About: Hi! I have had pets throughout my life. I am a dependable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that pets are family, and I will provide a safe and loving environment for them while you’re away. I am attentive to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. As an online graduate student I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible which allows me to plan my day around pet care needs. Regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. My apartment complex also has a dog park, which I can use for supervised play and exercise when appropriate.
About: I have over 20 years caring for dogs and puppies of all breeds. I love taking them on walks or playing with them with their favorite toy. Your dog will not just sit in a cage waiting for your return. I will treat them as if they were mine. Stress free worry as I work from home so i have a flexible schedule to step away to care for your furry friend. No worries while your away. I can offer multiple services such as drop in care, long walks, some training, as well as play time. I can manage your dogs needs based off of his or her individual likes or dislikes.
About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.
About: I have had animals my whole life. Mostly cats, dogs and rats. I have experience with diabetic dogs and cats, so I am comfortable giving insulin injections if needed. I also have two cats currently that require daily pills, so I have experience in that as well. If your pet requires anything else specific to keep them happy and healthy, I am happy to learn their needs and routines. I am currently an artist that sells my work online and at some in person events. This generally leaves me with a lot of flexibility during the weekdays and weekends where I am not at events. I will keep my availability up to date so that it can accurately show when I am able to come check on your fur baby. I think its most important for your pets to feel safe with me, so I always try to introduce myself slowly and maintain any routines your household has developed for them. I am also happy to send daily photos as I check in, that always makes me feel better when I am away from my cats, so happy to do that or anything else to have you feel good about leaving your furry family in my care.
“Elisa does such a great job when we need a walk and dinner for our dogs. We trust her to take care of our pups, especially because they can be high maintenance and sometimes hard to walk. Love that she sends us pictures too.”
About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once while ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I am comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, helping pets stay healthy and comfortable in their normal routines. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available most days of the week for long periods of time to fit into your schedule and care for your pets well! I can do some sitting and care on weekends! I have a nice space for the dogs to play and have fun! I have a nice yard at my house for them to run around! I can easily crate your dog, if needed! I will do what is best for your pet and care for them as if they were my own!
About: As a pet owner myself, I completely understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I adore both dogs and cats. I have rescued my own cats and taken care of my friends' dogs( small and big ones) for years. I am experienced with oral medication administration for both cats and dogs and giving extra care for the senior fur babies. To further spread my love, care, and smile to your pets and also ease your mind when you are away from home, I will privide premium pet and house sitting services which will meet your requirements and expectations. Please feel free to contact me with all your questions and concerns and I will respond to you as soon as possible ( normally within one hour) and let's make it as efficient and effective as possible. Thank you for your considerations. I am currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available Wednesdays and Thursdays and weekends after 10am. However, I am flexible enough so that we can always arrange a time to fit your schedule. I offer dog care at your home instead of mine. I would like to meet the pets and the owners first to make sure it is a good fit for us. Moreover, I prefer friendly and well behaved pets who have all the necessary updated shots records to keep both parties safe. Furthermore, please let me know any special needs of your pets so that I make sure I will definitely fulfill those needs.
About: I grew up with pets and care for a dog and 2 cats at my own place. My dog is an elder with a prior back surgery, so I’m no stranger to disabilities, giving medicine, and even expressing bladders. I’m an animal lover; I work a full time job but would love to provide weekend care for your smaller family members! I work a full time job during the week. Outside of work hours, I’m caring for my own pets. Weekends will be the best availability for me to be able to care for your pets! I dont offer care in my own home due to the stress it will put on my older dog. However, care in your home will look like whatever you would like it to look like. I’m willing to do walks, feedings, general company/play time, and other things you may need at a drop in

Bella loves spending time with Ezgi. Whether it’s for walking or boarding she takes care of Bella as if her own. She never wants to leave when I come to pick her up. They always go on outings providing stimuli and socialization which Bella needs as she is only ever with me. I have used Ezgi for years and as always service is Top Notch! Plenty of pictures and videos of my furbaby having a wonderful time with Ezgi and her pups. Thank you as always you are the BEST!!
Never had to have a dog walker before. Surgery on my dominant hand changed that. i knew i wanted a dependable person who loved dogs. i feel so lucky that Mike was on the list. Great communicator and, despite the truly crappy weather, G got his walks. Personable, dependable, and loves dogs. Highest recommendation.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Byron. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
