About: Retired vet. I’ve cared for and been around dogs/cats for as long as I can remember. I also worked at a pet store during my 4 years of high school. I currently work part time Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Sometimes not all three of those days. Work is on Burbank and close to home. We currently have 2 dachshunds, and looking to have a corgi in the near future. We take them out for daily walks, and have an open area with leads.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

“Maiara was wonderful with our dog, Buddy. She took her time and gave Buddy nice, long walks. She made sure he was safe and happy and sent us pictures and a thorough report every time. We will definitely book her again!”

“Jenny was fantastic! She was very flexible and professional. She took wonderful care of my dog. I came back from a trip and he was very happy and relaxed. She was easy to work with, great with my pets, and followed all my directions perfectly. I definitely plan to use her again. So happy to have found an awesome dog walker!”

“Claudia is so sweet ! She is always on time. Keeps us updated and the dogs love her.”

About: I graduated with my Bachelors of Animal Science and have been around animals my whole life. I worked at a pet spa and resort in high school taking care of dogs and cats, I've worked at two zoos taking care of exotic animals, and I have dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently a teacher and will have my summers off so I can care for your pet at any time! Currently I am a teacher and have my summers off. I will be available anytime to watch your pet. I love to stay active so walking your pet will not be a problem! I currently have a leopard gecko named Remi. She is very low maintenance but I love to get her out and let her wander around for enrichment and exercise. Working at Zoos and having lots of experience caring for animals I truly believe that enrichment and exercise are so important for an animals health and well-being.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and always took the lead role in caring and training those in my family. I’m also a trained veterinary assistant so I am capable of handling just about every situation I come across with your canine companion. I am a senior at Purdue university studying Pre-Veterinary medicine. I am currently in Wooster with my fiance for the summer, and am looking for work on top of working on my veterinary school applications. I am well trained in animal handling and am comfortable walking dogs with an abundance of equipment. I can also easily crate dogs. Another bonus is that I am certified in small animal first aid and CPR, giving me valuable skills in keeping your pets safe.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - I got my first pet when I was just two years old, and I've been caring for animals ever since! Over the years, my love for animals grew into a passion I wanted to turn into a career. Since I was nineteen, I've worked in animal hospitals, shelters, and pet boarding facilities, caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether it's a bouncy puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet who needs a little extra TLC, I put my whole heart into making them feel safe, loved, and happy. Caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's truly the heart of my day-to-day life! My schedule revolves around giving my pets (and hopefully yours!) the attention, love, and care they deserve, and I take that responsibility with pride! Whether it's early-morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cherished at every moment. Pet care is my top priority, and I'm always ready to make time for them! When I'm caring for pets in your home, their comfort and safety always comes first! I make sure they get the playtime, exercise, and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy!! I also take pride in leaving your home exactly as I found it - if not a little cleaner! I'll tidy up after play sessions, clean any messes, and make sure everything is secure before I go. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that feels just as you left it, so you can relax knowing everything is in good hands!

About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including three boxers. I have taken care of them in their senior age so I also know what that may look like! I currently have three dogs of my own, all of which i’ve had since they were puppies, so I am aware of what puppy care/training can look like as well! I currently work overnight, and am home all day. My schedule is 9pm-9am so I am home from around 9:30am-8:30pm. My significant other is on first shift, so he is home during the night! I have a fenced in yard, and three pups to keep yours company! Since I am home all day, they can have potty breaks and freedom as much as they’d like! If I do have to run an errand it is normally not for more than 2 hours, but if your pup needs crated, I can easily do that! There is a spare room that if they need some down time or you’d prefer them to be alone at any point, they can just hangout in there! We have them on relatively the same schedule everyday. Wake up around 9, go outside and play, eat around 10, then we can play all day! They eat again around 7pm. If you need me to come watch your pup in your home I have also done that numerous times!

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently care for three of my own. I’m experienced with all ages. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra love. I'm patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m home for the summer, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available almost every day for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow all routines closely—feeding, walks, playtime, or medications—and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I keep things calm, safe, and stress-free so your pet feels happy while you're away.

About: I have house / dog/ and cat sit for neighbors and friends for many years and am looking forward to meet you and your pets!! Available briefing in mornings but mainly in afternoons, evenings to check on whatever needed and am always near Wooster for anything that may come up. I have watched several houses/ pets over the years and am always very conscientious about when arriving to homes/ leaving for safety, security and keeping a close eye on pets.

“We had to go out of town for two weeks and leave our 13 year old lab at home with a relative. Sylvia came to the house to feed, give meds, take walks with her and give her the attention, that she craved. Sylvia sent us pictures and videos of their time together. She adjusted her schedule to give additional help when needed. We were at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Sylvia.”

“Alexis has been an excellent help when health concerns prevented us from walking our dog.”

About: I've had two large-breed dogs for about 7 years. I'm experienced with their training, but also how dogs interact with other dogs and people. I'm familiar with walking large dogs and keeping them safe when exercising. I'm detail oriented, responsible and thorough. I am flexible with scheduling and have reliable transportation. I understand feeding schedules and can accommodate a schedule that fits your pet. I have availability during the week and weekend. Within my home, I have a fenced in yard, doggy gates and am always sure to keep their information up to date. I'm careful with closing doors and keeping pets leashed to make sure they are safe on walks. I'm aware to keep a safe environment and put food and other things they could get into away.

About: I have pet sat multiple times over the years for dogs and cats and did a lot of dog-walking as well! Would be happy to take care of your family member. I am going to grad school at Ohio State and just looking for some sweet animals to take care of! I really enjoy spending time with them and my schedule is very flexible outside of my classes. I will always have an eye on your pet when at your house and make sure they are out of harms way. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, I will make sure they get adequate outdoors time in a safe environment away from busy roads and on a leash.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over ten years now, and I have always been an animal lover! I am comfortable watching dogs of all breeds and sizes.

About: I have been a responsible and loving dog and cat owner my entire life. Now that I am retired, I can help you care for your pets. Since I am now retired my schedule is totally free and flexible. I am available most days and times. I hope I am available when you need me. If you are local, I am available to provide daily visits with your pet which can include a walk, playtime and feeding. I can also spend the night at your home, if you prefer. If you live farther away, I would need to stay in your home to care for your pet. I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy!
