“Very pleased with Wendy! She took such great care with our kitties and sent me photos of them each time she stopped in. I didn’t worry about them at all while gone! Thank you Wendy for giving me peace of mind!!”
“Made our kitty girls very happy over thanksgiving and gave them their own feast. Made me feel very comfortable seeing the state of their litter and food while I was away ❤️”

About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I’m available most days for pet care, I do work between 8-5pm Monday to Friday, but other than that I’m available whenever you need me. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.
“Jacob has watched my senior dog multiple times. He is very kind and quick to respond. He is always sends good pic so I know my old man is getting well cared for. Will always try to rebook him for my dog”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats. My family has had dogs of all sizes, including three pit bulls and a mastiff so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as smaller pets. Our family dogs and cats have ranged from young puppies to seniors, which has given me experience adjusting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs throughout a dog’s life. I’ve also cared for our pets on my own for week-long periods when family members were away, making sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. More recently, I adopted my own cat named Muffin, who I’ve had for the past seven months. Being a pet owner myself has made me appreciate how important it is to find someone you trust, and I would care for your pets with the same attention and care I give my own. I work part-time in the evenings, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. Most days I’m available after 11:00 AM for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, or spending quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and routine rather than treating every visit the same. I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to, while also treating your home with respect and keeping you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.
“Stefania took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. Our dog is usually very shy, but by day 3, she was playing and wanting belly rubs, which Stefania took the time to give her. I'd highly recommend her.”

“Amanda did a fantastic job keeping me updated and caring for my pet cat. My cat required multiple drop-in visits per day, and had some complicated instructions, but Amanda handled it perfectly. I was updated with photos and messages with how time was spent with my pet, and would reccomend Amanda too any pet parent going out of town for an extended amount of time.”
About: I’m a college graduate. My major was in animal assisted therapy. I am cpr certified. I’m all about what is best for the animal. I love animals that is why I choose this profession. This is a passion to me not just a job. Soon I will be offering dog training services as well. I’m currently working a full time job. My schedule for that is Tuesday- Friday 9am-7pm. I will be able to care for pets take them on walks before or after my job. The days I’m off I am 100% available for dog sitting. The days I work I can still dog sit overnight. I do not offer boarding from my home, but I am open to going to the clients home for an overnight stay with the dog.
About: I’ve had many experiences pet sitting. I’ve watched anything from cats and dogs to farm animals! I often pet sit for my family members and neighbors. I have no problem cleaning up litter boxes, brushing, and even giving medications if needed! I’m currently in college and working part time. Right now i’m mostly available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4. Summer is coming up so my availability will open up! I have no issue cleaning up after the pet and cleaning litter boxes. I can also ensure they have fresh water and if needed food at my visits.
About: I've had pets basically my whole life. I grew up with inside and outside dogs, as well as a farm cat that I took care of regularly. I've been through obedience training with both of my dogs now, and we walk and play every day! I work from 8:00~2:00 weekdays. I take my own dogs on walks every day. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets if you're ever in need of assistance! I have two inside dogs at my house. When I bought the house, I had a fence put in and extended the yard so they can be outside and play safely, whenever they want. We go on long and short walks daily. Animals deserve the same care and respect that people do, and I treat my animals, and any other I know, like friends! Treat them right and they'll be great!
About: I have taken care of many different pets for as long as I can remember! My love for caring for animals started when I was 12 years old and taking care of my own five ferrets. It wasn't long after that when both of my parents had started bragging about my consistency and dedication when it came to taking care of pets to my family and their friends. From that point on I have gotten calls from my aunts, uncles, and family friends to care for their furry friends while away on vacations and business trips. This has made me confident enough to want to help other families take care of their animals when needed too! :) I currently go to college at Ohio University and would only be available to work on my school breaks starting every August-May. However, my schedule over the summer is pretty open and I would love to spend as much time needed with your fur babies! With any instructions given I am sure to not skip one step! I will give your pet all the attention and cuddles necessary. Due to me having a dog who doesn't get along with new dogs, I would care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home. I am also willing to stay overnight if needed when I am available to do so.
About: I have had pets my whole entire life. If you can name it I’ve probably owned it. That includes large dogs and numerous cats. I enjoy animals and will make sure your pet is so loved while you are away. I am very open this summer to pet/house sit. I will ensure that there is time built out of my days and weeks to allow proper care to your pet and whatever their needs may be. I can be flexible and come when needed. In my clients home I will ensure the pets feel loved and are comfortable. I know different animals have different levels of needs and I will ensure that all of those are met. I will love your pet as my own and will try and make sure they don’t miss you too much while you’re away!
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs of all breeds. I love all animals and giving care to them. I can provide baths, feedings and walks along with play time! I will provide quality care for your fur baby! :) I only work part time and hope to fill my free time with taking care of animals because I enjoy it very much! I am free early mornings and evenings. I absolutely adore getting to know my client’s dogs/cats! I make sure to give all animals love and attention while in my care. Additionally, I ensure that I am prepared and study up on any specific needs that your fur baby may require. Not all dogs and cats are the same and their unique personalities are what make them so wonderful!
