Pet Sitting in Castalia

About: What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time and it’s just me taking care of your pet, so they get constant attention and one-on-one care. I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with both puppies and senior pets, and I always follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. It’s just me caring for the pets, and I don’t work, so pet care fits into my day really naturally. I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I have a very clean house no smoking in the house I have a big yard in the front to play all day in. And my house is good enough space

“Katelyn took care of Mateo when we had a last minute friend cancel on us, and it was very much appreciated! He’s not an easy little guy to take care of sometimes due to his age and eye disability, but she was very sweet and understanding with him. Would use her services again!”

“Hailey was great! ! She’s was on time for each visit, attentive to our cat, and sent photos with each visit. She went beyond a basic visit and left a note to summarize her time with our cat. I would highly recommend her.”

“Sydney is amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she was nothing but awesome. She always sent me pictures of my dog and even brought in my Amazon packages. Her time is also very flexible. I had to move some days around.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. I absolutely love animals and my close friends call me “Brigitte Bardot” for an obvious reason. Plus your pets will become bilingual as I’ll speak French with them! I’m retired but still want to remain active. Caring for other people’s pets seem like a good way for me to do this. I am an honest person with no criminal record. I’ve never even been stopped by a police man driving. I am offering watching your pets in your home. Their surroundings are important to reduce stress. As I have two indoor cats, taking other pets into my home is not possible

About: I love animals and creating a safe environment for them. I have cared for animals as small as hamsters and as big as dogs, as well as special needs dogs! We currently don’t have a pet of our own due to financial reason, so we hope to give all of our love to your pet while they’re here with us. I am a full time photographer who lives in an apartment! My schedule has huge gaps of free time and I have to get my animal fix some how! Let me love your fur baby while you’re away ♥️ Since I live in an apartment I can’t have animals with me anymore, but I have much experience in animal care. My sister is a manager of an animal care facility and has taught me everything I know over the years!

“Suzanne was great. She took good care of our dog while we were away. When we needed to extend our stay one more day, she was happy to do that. We highly recommend her.”

About: I have had a dog in some capacity for 20 years and friends trust me to take care of their animals while they are out of town. I like to give attention to animals I am a teacher in Sandusky and have good availability in the summer every other week! I am willing to travel a little and make sure your pet is taken care of! I follow the guidelines of each person and am very cautious when it comes to the care of all animals and people. Every person cares for their pet differently and I want to respect that.

“Alyssa has been great with our dog. She is patient with him being slow to warm up to people. She shows up on time and sends great photo updates of what they get up to.”

About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.

“Macy did an excellent job checking in on our dog while we were on vacation in Sandusky around July 4th. We need two visits to our rental property. She responded quickly and I felt our dog was in good hands while we were out. I would recommend Macy as your pet sitter.”

About: Hello! As a dedicated pet sitter, walker, and many more things I have several qualities that set me apart from others. Firstly, I have extensive experience in caring for dogs, having personally looked after my own six dogs for the past ten years. This hands-on experience has given me invaluable insights into the specific needs and behaviors of dogs, from puppies to seniors. One of my special skills is training puppies. I understand the importance of early socialization, which helps establish a strong foundation for their overall well-being. Whether it's potty training, leash manners, or basic commands, I can provide patient and effective service to help your puppy grow into a well and happy dog. On the other hand, I also have experience with senior dogs. I am well-versed in the specific care requirements of older canines, such as administering medication, assisting with mobility issues, and providing extra attention to their comfort and well-being. I understand the challenges that come with aging pets and can provide the necessary care and compassion they deserve. Aside from my practical experience, I have a genuine love and passion for animals. Their well-being and happiness are always my top priority. I believe that every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and individualized attention. You can trust me to provide a safe and loving environment for your pets while you're away, ensuring they receive the care they deserve. If you choose me as your pet sitter, walker, or anything you may need, you can rest assured that your furry friends will be in capable and caring hands. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pets. I believe that it’s important to always start the day with a morning walk and ensure that our fur babies get correct exercise and some fresh air. My dogs also have specific feeding times to ensure balanced and nutritious meals. Playtime also is a really big thing, as dogs need to be mentally stimulated throughout the day and physically active to stay healthy! Just not right after eating, as that can be dangerous for some breeds. Grooming is also super necessary and important for my puppies. Their nails especially grow so fast. Additional things I like to do are evening walks, training time and making sure my pups all have comfortable sleeping areas! In my home my fur babies are provided with walks, nutritious food, exercise, grooming, mental stimulation, a safe environment, socialization and emotional care every day. For a client, I believe it’s important to follow any specific instructions provided regarding feeding, medication, or other special requirements for their pets. Communication with the pet owners is crucial to ensure you meet their expectations and provide the best care for their furry companions.

About: I love any animal! I raise goats and sheep and I have my 2 own huskies so I am great with caring for any animal! I am still in high school but take all of my classes online so I have so much free time to care for any kind of pet. Every morning I take my dogs outside and I feed them as well as giving them water. I also do the same for my cats!

“Reliable and attentive.”

About: Hello! I would love to meet your fur babies! I have experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve been taking care of dogs since my childhood, and I have an older sister who has been involved in training and grooming for over 20 years. I have worked with her and learned from her along the way so I have residual professional knowledge in addition to personal experience and a knack for communicating with animals!

Happy to provide any pet-related services necessary in your own home. Feeding, potty breaks, playtime, just chilling and spending time, whatever it is you may need!

“1million out of 5 stars for Nate - He was responsive, kind, clear, dependable and he went above and beyond, caring for our cat, Lasagna like he was his own. He really put our minds at ease while we were away. We contacted Nate last minute to watch our rambunctious young cat, Lasagna. As it was the first time we had left our cat alone, we were nervous to leave Lasagna for a week. During our meet and greet, instead of laughing at all of my neurotic cat-mom requests, Nate took our requests seriously and asked great questions. You can tell he really cares for animals, has experience caring for pets, and has a great demeanor with them. Our cat, Lasagna is usually quite shy around strangers, but warmed up to Nate right away. While we were away, Nate sent details on each of his visits with lots of photos. He visited our cat extra times and even reached out to ask if he should grab our mail / water our garden (which I had not thought of but we said YES, that would be amazing!). Awesome experience. Thank you so much, Nate! I'm sure Lasagna wants us to go away again ASAP so he can get more Nate time. :)”

About: As a teacher and animal lover, I have a niche for caring for kids and animals. I love dogs and can provide the love and attention they need thanks to my own dog and taking care of the pets of friends and family. I’m currently a full-time teacher, so I can only offer 24 hour boarding on the weekends and holidays. I am, however, available to do stop ins or walking after 5pm on weekdays. 🐶Due to an influx in last minute stay requests, acceptance of a last minute request without a required Meet and Greet will result in being charged DOUBLE for the service! (Last minute, 1st time bookings put both myself and my dog at risk—if the guest is not a good fit!)🐶 My home offers an unfenced backyard for your dog(s) to run and play, but if your dog(s) is not trained, they will have to stay on leash. With this in mind, I frequent the dog park at Huron Park and take frequent walks to maintain exercise and help to release pent up energy. I also have a small, 12 pound Poochon to keep your dog(s) company. Animals in my care have free range and will not be crated unless necessary due to behavior or if it is an established routine (for bedtime, etc).
