“Stephanie did a great job. She's reliable, and just a lovely person. She take amazing pet pictures, too! She even got my shy kitty to smile for the camera! Definitely will use again.”
“I’m so happy to have found Hannah to pet sit my cats! I was away for 3 weeks and it was a relief to know she was watching out for them and gave them some good play time! She sent me pictures from every visit which warmed my heart. I would for sure hire her in the future!”
“EXCELLENT JOB!! I can't say enough good things about Sandi. She did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was on vacation. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 2 years old! I’ve also worked with animals since I was 19 at several animal shelters, animal hospitals, and boarding places! I don’t currently have a car of my own to drive, which is why my pet care schedule is the way it is! I will be able to drive to see your pets when I have a car available to me which is Friday-Sunday, anytime after 12pm! I can drop in to give your fur babies much needed love and potty breaks! A fenced in yard is preferred so that there is plenty of room to play with your pup! However, I will gladly take your pup on a nice brisk walk if you don’t have a fenced in yard!
“Kelsi was so wonderful with Hamilton. She was quick to respond and didn’t mind when I had a last minute work change. She kept me updated with Hamilton and sent the cutest photos of my pup! I highly recommend her!”
“Came for a meet and greet. Communicated well.”
“Jennifer was great! She kept us updated an she even came to pick him up last minutes. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Maiara took such good care of my senior cat. Thank you again for giving him such love and attention when I couldn’t. And for giving me peace of mind!”
About: I’ve been taking care of family friend’s cats and dogs for years. Dogs ranging from elderly miniature schnauzer doodles to big wild golden retreiver puppies. I’ll take great care of your pets and home. When I’m away from my animals while I’m at school I like to get my fill of puppy/kitty time through pet sitting. I’m currently taking classes at the College of Wooster- I am a junior education and history major. This makes me available for drop ins and walks most of the day. I will do anything that is instructed for your animals. For walks I’m willing to walk them up to 2 miles. If I dog sit while you are away I would only need to leave them for classes which would never be more than 2 hours at a time.
“Was out of town for 5 days and Kinzi came by to feed and check on my 3 cats... Nice job, will use again, one cat is easy but the other 2 are scardy cats but she had no problem, everybody is happy!!! This was my first time and I was afraid but Kinzi worked out fine, will use again, use Kinzi with confidence !! Thanks Tom”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including three boxers. I have taken care of them in their senior age so I also know what that may look like! I currently have three dogs of my own, all of which i’ve had since they were puppies, so I am aware of what puppy care/training can look like as well! I currently work overnight, and am home all day. My schedule is 9pm-9am so I am home from around 9:30am-8:30pm. My significant other is on first shift, so he is home during the night! I have a fenced in yard, and three pups to keep yours company! Since I am home all day, they can have potty breaks and freedom as much as they’d like! If I do have to run an errand it is normally not for more than 2 hours, but if your pup needs crated, I can easily do that! There is a spare room that if they need some down time or you’d prefer them to be alone at any point, they can just hangout in there! We have them on relatively the same schedule everyday. Wake up around 9, go outside and play, eat around 10, then we can play all day! They eat again around 7pm. If you need me to come watch your pup in your home I have also done that numerous times!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over ten years now, and I have always been an animal lover! I am comfortable watching dogs of all breeds and sizes. I currently am a graduate student at Cleveland State University. I have a flexible schedule and I am free most weekends. I also have flexibility throughout weekdays to let animals out during various times of the day. I’ve had animals growing up my whole life and I understand the responsibility and safety that it entails. I am able to make visits or stay in your home depending on your preference.

“My dog Whiskey loves to spend time with Matthew. We are so thankful for him!”
About: Growing up on a farm has always had me loving animals, and that love only grew! My home has always had animals, so I’d love to get to meet some new faces! I can watch your puppy, train them, take your dogs on walks and outside, and so much more. Every fur baby deserves a good walk, or pet, or someone to cuddle with! I’d love to be that person for you and bring happiness to your pups life! Not only can I care for your pets, I can also tidy up your space, water your plants, clean kitty litter, and so much more! I love when I have a list to follow and keep track of for the time I’m with your animals as well. I currently work part-time, but I can always care for your pet on tuesdays, thursdays, or sundays! I’m always looking for something new, and have plenty of time for your pets! I have three cats whose personalities are all different! Mango is the youngest, a fierce little flamepoint with the biggest eyes. Azuki and Simba are like brothers, always sticking by each others sides.

Every baby counts!

I’m 45 years old and have had animals of my own since I was 18. I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to babysit your precious animal. I don’t have my own kennels, so I ask that you bring one for your animal. I will only be babysitting 2 or less animals a day, so I will be able to keep close watch on yours! I have two 13 year-old boys that love to play with animals too! We own a 5-bedroom house with plenty of room.

16. Ashley R.
“Ashley is always our first go to when we are going away and need someone to watch our cats. She has helped us out a multitude of times over several years. We have 1 cat that is diabetic and needs insulin daily and 1 cat that is on medication to be taken twice daily. She has never had an issue handling either. Litter boxes, food, and water are always well taken care of as well as the extra love she gives all of our cats. Would recommend her pet sitting to anyone!”
