About: Hello!! I have been caring for all kinds of animals since growing up on a small farm as a child. We always had many different farm animals and lots of cats and dogs. As an adult I have always had at least a cat, and currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats...basically a small zoo hahaha. I am used to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a 9 year old German Shepherd that weighs 120 pounds...he's a very gentle giant that we have had since he was a pup. He has bad knees(has had multiple surgeries) so I'm used to caring for his special needs and giving daily meds. (Pupdate on my 120 lb bff - I lost my baby boy pretty unexpectedly March 31, 2025- he had just turned 10. My heart was torn to shreds from his loss😭) We also have a 7.5 year old German Shepherd. She weighs 85 pounds and is a rescue with extreme anxiety. We call her our backyard/house dog only. It is where she is most comfortable so that's where she stays to fit her needs!! And last but not least, we rescued our baby girl almost a year ago. She is likely a lab mix and around 50 pounds/ 1.5 years old. She needs lots and lots of exercise and attention!! I am very familiar with puppies and the extra needs they require. I've also cared for really senior dogs as we lost our Lab boy of 14 years to cancer not long ago. I decided to look into doing this as we are always looking for someone reliable to help us out when we need to leave our animals. I realize they are not just part of your family...they are family and it's hard to leave them and be comfortable with it. I would love to meet you and your pets before we set up to determine that everyone is comfortable and compatible and to make your leaving them with me stress-free! I look forward to hearing from you! I am self employed and work mostly from home. My schedule is flexible and mine to make. I can make most anytime work! Look forward to hearing from you! I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home but I will take care of your pets In your home just as you wish me too! Detailed notes on the pets schedule, feedings, meds, etc work great!! House sitting rates may vary depending on your needs and wants for the care of your pet and your home. This will be discussed at the meet and greet!

“Kelli was reliable, flexible with our schedule, and great communication - I would recommend her!”

About: I have handled small animals and reptiles for 9 years, cats and dogs for 7, and horses and livestock for 6! I have a variety of experience with many different breeds with many different temperaments. There isn’t much I can’t handle! I currently only work part time at a local rescue/shelter so I have some time on my hands! I have my own car that I don’t mind getting some fur and dirt in, so if your pups are a fan of hikes or just want to go on an adventure that’s no problem for me! I take animal care and welfare very seriously, my babies get water and food dishes scrubbed daily, proper diet tailored to their needs, whatever exercise they require, and all the attention they could ever ask for! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping a clean, happy, healthy environment for them!

About: Mom to two energetic pups.🐶 Roy (english setter) & Banks (black lab) keep my life exciting! We enjoy swimming, running, & a good ole cuddle on the couch. As someone whose job requires traveling, I understand the stress it can be to have someone else watch your pups. I’m here to hopefully make your life easier & remove extra anxiety that pups can cause when you’re traveling without them 💓 I am currently a Division 1 coach whose competition season is in the fall, so I only have Mondays off, but my spring season allows me to have an easier schedule with weekends free! I have two friendly, active pups who love to make new friends! I live within 5 miles of 3 different parks that I love taking my pups to!

“Parris was so great with my anxious pup! She kept me updated the whole time and my dog was always very happy and relaxed when I came home! Would 100% book again!”

About: Hi there! I have been a pet sitter since I was 14, with multi-species experience including: dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, turtles, and rabbits. I am a life long pet owner as well. I am in my 4th year of studying Animal Behavior, which feeds my interest in enrichment and proper welfare for all animals. I have experience with: • oral medication administration • pets with anxiety • grooming and nail trimming (*depends on your pet's temperament) • enrichment I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sittings. ***I do not offer boarding due to my own pet for the safety of all pets involved! I'm currently on break for the summer and have full availability during the week to stop in and take your pet for a walk or play session, or house sit for a longer period. I tend to stick to the instructions provided as to keep a normal routine for your pet. For a first time visit, I will get aquatinted with your pet and offer a treat if allowed. I will send photos of your pet when I arrive and leave to offer some peace of mind. For walks, I will take your dog on a stroll around the neighborhood so they can let out some energy and use the restroom, followed by a treat after returning home. Drop-ins are similar where the pet will be taken outside for the restroom if needed and have some playtime to let out some energy. For pet sitting jobs, I tend to ask more questions about your pet to get a better understanding of their needs as well as anything else that will need taken care of such as collecting the mail, or watering plants. No matter the species, each visit will include playing, treats, and lots of pets! When entering or leaving your home, I ensure that the key is placed in the correct spot (to prevent lockouts!) after locking to keep your pet and home safe.

“Perfect service. I'm down for awhile and Amber is used to get daily hikes. Matt was a perfect match for my girl. He was very friendly, prompt, and personable. Amber loved him. Will use him again”

About: Dogs have been my best friends all my life- they give more than take. I have had mutts and labs thru the years and love taking the time to give back to them the love and attention they deserve. I have been trained in training my pups/dogs to sit, heel, stay, fetch, leave it, etc. I have had rescues and adore their ever giving love and thanks. I love the privilege in helping others care for their furry family. Update- I am back in OH and available for drop-ins on weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to contact me regarding your schedule- thank you! I always verify with owners their pets' physical and safety needs, inside and out. I love playing ball, walking around the yard or in the neighborhood or parks if near- giving dogs the time to investigate their environment- running, smelling, socializing and down right having fun- sun or shine, hot or cold weather- we'll have fun.

About: Ive had dogs all 21 years of my life. Currently I have 5 dogs all medium sized dogs which is a lot of cleaning and attention so I understand needing the help. I love all animals and would be willing to work with pets that I have not worked with yet. I’m big on communication just want everyone to be comfortable my schedule is pretty lenient at the moment. I work for a company called premium/Acosta, which is a vendor for Walmarts. I also do Rover and Instacart. I do like to travel occasionally but I’m always big on communicating ahead of time at least two weeks in advance when I do plan something. I would always call or text if there was ever a concern or question and wouldnt do something that wasnt talked about before. I grew up with dogs and around animals all my life. I love all animals and am willing to learn and work with pets I have and haven’t worked with. I want both parties to be as comfortable as possible. I love communication, I always appreciate tips and tricks from the owners especially letting me know any triggers for the pet or boundaries.

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

About: My whole life I've loved animals, it started as a young child when I'd rescue injured turtles and bring them home.. then as a teenager it turned into rescuing cats, dogs, geese, chipmunks, raccoons, opposums, rabbits, and birds. I had cats, dogs, fish and yes..2 rats as pets as a child. I currently have my kitty Luna, she's 5 years old and is just the sweetest little cuddle bug. Growing up I thought my animal soft spot came from my parents who used to occasionally rescue as well.. then I realized it wasn't that. It was just, I love animals. They're goofy beings, each with a personality of their own, and have nothing but love to give if they're treated properly. If I'm at an event, it's a guarantee I'll befriend the animals before any humans. I've been blessed that each animal I've connected with has picked up on the love I have for them and typically trust me just about instantly. Since my teenage years, I started doing daily drop-ins which quickly grew to over night stays for night long furry cuddles. I currently care for 4 familes, 2 with pets on medications and my flexible job lets me balance both perfectly! I've been a nail technician for 6 years, which has given me the flexibility to set my own schedule. Because of this, I can easily come and go as needed, fitting pet care seamessly into my daily routine. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care to each pet, ensuring they get the time and attention they deserve. At this time I only provide pet care in the clients home. I make sure to follow each pets routine closely, keeping their environment safe and familiar, and provide regular updates to owners. I ensure I keep a clean, secure space and respect each pet's, and their owners, comfort and boundaries so they feel at ease. I also pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I have my own car and hold my own personal vehicle insurace, so I can take pets to appointments or emergencies if needed, within reason.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. Also, have been trusted by many family members & friends to take care of their dogs. This includes taking care of an elderly dog who takes multiple medications & has some trouble getting around, & on the other end of the spectrum a very active & young husky, plus many more! I am a full time athletic trainer at a college, but get a month off in the summer. The other month I work during the summer I only work 4 hour shifts so will have plenty of time to attend to pups! Moving forward after summer I can pick up random week nights & weekends here & there! I am an active person so would love to walk with a dog & take it out to run around & play! On the flip side, I also love cuddles & will give your pups all the attention they would need!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and unique needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines. I also have experience caring for pets at different stages of life, including young puppies and senior animals. I can help reinforce basic training for younger pets, such as potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, extra patience, medication reminders if needed, and close attention to comfort and mobility needs. In addition to daily feeding, walks, and playtime, I focus on providing companionship and reducing stress or anxiety for pets when their families are gone. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they always know their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my favorite thing in the world. Since I moved I am not able to have any pets so being able to take care of your fur baby would be a blessing! I do not allow pets at my place over night. Only if it’s for a few hours as my landlord is picky. So it is more ideal for me to come to your place as it would be easier for me to meet your pets needs. I do ask that you provide so information about your pets when you book with me. Thank you!

About: I’ve been around dogs for about 10 years and have a genuine love for caring for animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a zoo, which taught me the importance of responsibility and attention to detail in animal care. At home, I lived with and cared for my family's dog for 5 years, which gave me daily experience with walks, play, and companionship. My background makes me patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of all personalities. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me flexibility to care for pets during the day. I have breaks between classes, and I’m usually done around 3 pm, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, and giving pets the attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their usual routine. I ensure they’re fed on time, have access to fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy playtime and affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior so I can keep them safe, happy, and relaxed while their owners are away.
