About: Hello! I am Erica! A bit about me, I am in love with nature and animals! Ever since childhood ive been a wild hair, barefoot, truly in-toon with animals free spirit grounded in nature! I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! Since birth we've always had our family pet. Animals have always been able to trust me quickly, so much my friends and family have joked about my connection with animals like Snow White is in the movie! Haha They truly ground me! Over the years, I’ve pet-sat in client homes and farms, worked in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary technician gaining hands-on experience in animal health, wellness, and comfort. I’ve also worked in boarding care, looking after hundreds of pets and making sure they felt safe, loved, and happy while their families were away. I've dedicated my time to volunteering at animal shelters. My passion extends to animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to the more unique and unexpected like reptiles, birds, fish, sugar gliders, and farm animals! My greatest joy in life is giving them the love, patience, snuggles and care they deserve! If you are interested in my care and wish to see additional references or have any questions please don't hesitate to send me a message! I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I also work part-time as a server and bartender, which gives me the flexibility to work around my schedule. That means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pet making sure they get the love, play, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to care for your pets in my own home, as we’re in the process of putting up a fence in our backyard. Once that’s complete, I’ll be able to offer even more options for pet care. In the meantime, I’m happy to come to your home to dog/cat/pet sit, walk, or care for any pet who needs love and attention.

About: I've taken care of many neighbors' and family friends' pets. They all say that I am extremely responsible and cared for their pets well. I also have my own dog and experience with lots of different cats! I’m currently working PRN, or as needed, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m able to choose my working hours around when I’m caring for your pets! I have a dog in the home, however, our in-laws live next door so if needed we can take our dog to stay with them while taking care of your pups! We also have a crate to either crate our dog or yours depending on the situation.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.
