Pet Sitting Castalia

“From the pictures we get I think the kitties are comfortable with their in home visits when we're gone. They obviously remember Katie now and like her care and pampering. So glad we found her!”

About: I would love to foster a senior dog soon, but since traveling the last year; the next best thing is helping you with your special babes! I have a flexible schedule so I’m available to work with yours. Weekdays or weekends are both options. Last minute help is available also. Helping with pets in their home is ideal since they are comfortable in their environment. Experience with dogs, cats and fish. I’m organized and like to work from a daily schedule.

“A big thank you to Dinah and her husband for dealing with my giant Whippet puppy Blitz!!! Loved the pictures and was so happy he wasn’t too bad. We’ll call you again! Pat S”

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.

“Thanks for taking care & playing With Milo & Sophie!!! They loved it!”

“Sydney was wonderful. She took very good care of all of our kitties. She communicated with us every day and sent great pictures. We highly recommend Sydney!!”

About: I've had a full house of "fur kids" for over 15 years. With the same cat that started my pack, Eko Donald, Annie Rose, whom I've had for 5+ years, with two of her babies, Garfied & Binx, the past 3 years. In additional to my feline pack, current Pooches include, Herbie Don, Athena Marie, Piddle & Frank Barone. Yes! I currently have 4 dogs and 4 cats! Herbie, my "vicious" Pitbull Terrier, came as an abandoned 1 year old, now 7, through the "Lorain County Dog Kennel". Athena, my Senior Farm girl, came 2 summers ago, knocking at deaths door, from a divorce case gone bad for the "fur kids" in a state, KY, that does not protect their furies. So bringing her to the great state of Ohio, protected under Goddards Law, was a no brainer. Piddle, my 4 yr old Shorkie, whose legal name is Thor, was a token of appreciation from one of my School Bus. kiddos. Frank Barone, a 2 yr old Spaniel mix of some sort, the "baby" of the pack, came through the APL, from a hoarding case gone terrible. My "fur kids" are truly the "kids", I was not able to have beyond the only 1 I was blessed with who is now an adult. As a Substitute Teacher, my schedule is very flexible and open to just about anything; especially, during those high in demand, and popular vacation times! Yup! Im an introverted, homebody, who doesn't go too far, often enough. I'm open to individual requests per family, as I've learned, just as humans, fur kids are no exception, in the fact that no two pets, or pet families are the same.

“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.”

“Alyssa was great! She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was great with communication and keeping me updated. I trust that my animals were well taken care of while I was gone. I’d recommend Alyssa to watch your animals for you :)”

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).

“Sorry for the frustration.”

“Reliable and attentive.”

“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 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!

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’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: My family has had cats since I was a baby! I’ve helped out with them for as long as I can remember. I have also house sit for multiple families with animals and walked countless dogs. I get along with most any pet! Previously I volunteered at a shelter to walk and socialize adoptable dogs, and I loved every second. I got my own kitten last year and have loved every second. It has been so fun to help him grow and see him turn into a fun, loving, rambunctious cat. I am off school for a few months and have some extra time to watch or walk your pet! I enjoy being around animals so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I will do everything necessary to keep your pet safe. Safety is number one for me and I never want to see an animal be hurt or cared for improperly. I will follow all instructions and make sure your pet is healthy and happy!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13. I have a reactive girl that I adopted and a german shepherd I’ve raised from a baby. I’m often helping train and manage family’s dogs and would love to help you give your baby the best care Pet care is what I want to make my career. I am working towards being an accredited behavioral trainer. And would be more than happy to work on Leash manners with your dog My pets don’t have a yard bc I live in an apartment complex but that doesn’t stop me from fulfilling their daily exercise. In your home my top priority is your dogs comfort and lifestyle.

About: As to getting my first pet ever at the age of 21 to my rescue pit mix and to now owning 5 animals, 2 dogs and 3 cats, I’m an animal lover. I’ve helped family and friends with pet sitting their fur babies while they’re on vacation even if it’s for a weekend or a week. I am available any day during the weekday and also available on weekends for any stays or drop in visits if needed for any reason. I have a partially fenced in yard so I do go out with the dogs on leashes. I can also crate your dog if needed.

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! I work part time, but my schedule is flexible so don’t hesitate to reach out! I will typically always be able to work something out! 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!
