Mallory took good care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She kept me updated with pictures each day, which eased my mind, knowing they were in good hands! She also took the trash down, collected our mail, and watered the plants. I highly recommend Mallory for your pet and house sitting needs!

About: I have previously worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility and even became certified for that. I have also previously taken doggie CPR classes all because I love dogs and have considered opening a doggie daycare of my own. My dog runs the house. I am a responsible adult and I have had dogs for nearly 20 years now. My dog is my first thought when making plans and his happiness is my priority. For boarding, I will require vet records as any boarding facility would to ensure that the health of my dog isn’t compromised. It can also help you stay on top of your dogs' health. My hours at work are 8-4:340 and I also get an hour lunch break. I can take my lunch most any time as it is flexible unless I have a meeting or something scheduled. I have a fenced in yard so they can run off-leash without worry of them getting away. I also have multiple crates and dog beds available to keep dogs safe and comfortable while indoors.

From the moment we met Andrea, we knew our dogs were in great hands. Entrusting someone to care for our three dogs (Pumpkin, Roxie, and Daisy) for an entire week is no small task, but Andrea exceeded every expectation. Every day, she would send us photos and updates, which were more than reassuring—they were a delightful treat that gave us peace of mind. Not only could we see that our dogs were happy and well-taken care of, but they genuinely seemed to love spending time with Andrea. But Andrea didn’t stop at simply caring for our dogs. Her proactive nature and thoughtfulness shone through as she took it upon herself to water our plants, gather our mail, and even run the vacuum, ensuring we returned to a clean and welcoming home. It's not just about the tasks she performed or helping to care for the “girls” while we were out of town, but the genuine love and care she poured into every one of them. Our dogs’ fondness for Andrea speaks volumes about her nature and the connection forms with pets. In a world where it's hard to find trustworthy and dependable individuals, Andrea stands out as someone who goes the extra mile, not because she has to, but because she genuinely cares. We can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided us during our trip and the impeccable care she offered to our furry family. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone needing dog-sitting and house-sitting services. She is a gem! Thank you, Andrea, and we hope to work with you again in the future!

About: I have taken care of several types of dogs since I was little. I grew up in the country and helped take care of my neighbors dogs and animals whenever I could. I have watched my friends pets before and respected any care methods they have. I took care of puppies and dogs pretty much my whole life. I trained puppies and always pay attention to body language and behavior. I work every other weekend currently at a motorcycle range. My week days are free and so are my nights. I take online classes right now since it is the summer semester. I have my own cat so I keep his space clean and tidy. I feed him on a set schedule and make sure he has plenty of space for his zoomies and play time. He is a single cat and likes it that way. For client’s homes, I will follow any and all instructions for their pet and keep their home tidy and keep their pets clean as well, including litter boxes, food spills, etc.

About: Hello, my name is Faith and I have had pets in my home my entire life. I know how to administer medications, First aid, CPR, Bottle feeding, and I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have rescued several animals in terrible shape when I found them and nursed them back to health, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to that if your pet needs some extra care. I have one dog, four cats, and a lizard and home and would love to get to know your pets as well. I am currently working a full-time job starting at 6am but I would be happy to stop by before then on week days if you’re alright with me being there early! I can take them for walks, feed them and administer medications. If you want I could even take them to a local trail and hike with them so they can get away from the house. I work full time Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday starting at 1am and ending by noon at the latest. I can care for your pets after work all the way until I go to sleep that night. I would treat your pet as my own. I don’t mind if your pet needs extra care such as medications or if there is an injury I need to be aware of. Your pet and their health and safety would be my number one priority.

About: I'm masters student in biology with professional pet care experience from working as an Animal Care Technician/Kennel Assistant at Franklin County Animal Hospital. Here, I primarily cared for boarded cats and dogs by giving medication by injection, orally, and other routes. Additionally, I fed animals as directed to ensured they actually ate, cleaned kennel spaces, and had playtime with dogs after their walks. I grew up with cats and have had the main responsibility of training dogs in my family for all of my life (the origin of my 20 years experience)! In regards to dogs, I've raised 5 huskies from birth all the way up to adulthood. Currently, I have 2 well-trained dogs that LOVE to meet new people and pets: Nirvana, a mini Texas Heeler and Remi, a Husky mix. If we're not at home, we're probably off on a walk, hiking, swimming, or doing a photoshoot somewhere in the Shawnee Forest. I love to meet people's pets! Whether your pet stays at my pet-friendly apartment with a large front yard, I'm at your place overnight, or I'm simply dropping in/taking your pet on a walk I can promise professionalism and that you're pet will have a great time! Currently, I can be available most days before 9:30 am and every day after 7 pm. Of course, this schedule can change depending on the dates/times I'm needed! At my home, I can ensure pets are in a safe environment by walking them in my large front and side yard of my apartment complex and/or in a safe area of town near Trinity Christian School. Additionally, I can ensure your pets safety by only allowing interactions with my pets while supervised and can provide a kennel space if one is not provided. At your home, I can follow specific directions on where dogs like to go, how animals prefer to be interacted with, and discuss the preferred length of time you'd prefer me to be in your home. Really, this portion is all up to you! I value mutual respect above all else and while I will conduct myself as such regardless, your preferences are really all that matters!

About: I've had different dogs and cats since I was young, and I always loved taking care of them. I've always loved animals, sometimes more then people. Kane my dog is past a year old, Malinois/gsd mix, high energy and always keeping me on my toes. I started this as a way to keep him exhausted and energetic, moreover as a way to make money on the side. Other than college this is my full time job right now, pet care fits into my schedule as a job and passion for my love of animals. I'll care for your pets like they're my own. If you have a younger pup who has a tendency to leash pull just let me know ahead of time please, especially if they weigh larger then 50lbs. Dog treats as a positive walking reinforcement and water and stop at a park when needed.

Elizabeth is AMAZING with animals!!! I could tell by her love for her own dogs that she would be fabulous with mine - and she was! Ike (my 5-year-old rescue dog) LOVES her! She is an incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and caring animal-lover. She walked and played with Ike to his little heart's content (and with his energy level, that's a lot)! I knew she was doing a great job with him because his tail would go crazy whenever he heard her voice! I would HIGHLY recommend Liz to watch your pet - so would Ike!!!

Coen did a great job taking care of my pets. He was responsive to my messages and easy to communicate with. It's clear that he cares deeply about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and well cared for. My dog has some trust issues with new people and he was incredibly sensitive to her special needs and now they are best friends! I definitely recommend him to other pet parents and will use him again myself.

Isabella did a great job taking care of my dog this past weekend. She sent pictures of him on his walks and messaged me. I came back to my home, just like I left it! Who could ask for anything more!

Megan is the BEST! When we had our German Shepherd Sadie, we asked her to trim her nails and babysit her a few times while my husband and I went out of town, and I swear that dog came back to us happier than ever! She loves dogs and I am so thankful for that. I can vouch that she will take care of any of your doggos needs! :)

Marisa would make a good pet sitter and walker because I've seen how she raised Kane with meticulous kindness. She was a bit of a helicopter parent at the start but now she has some experience under her belt, she can't get enough. I think this will be good for her mental health, help her income and Kane all at once.
