“Amazing job watching our seven cats! This was the first time we had left them for an extended period of time, and we were very nervous about being away for so long. Meghan went above and beyond to make sure our babies were safe and cared for, and was super responsive to our requests and questions. We know who we’ll be booking for any future trips.”
“Madison was amazing with our pet cat Milo. Her daily updates were thorough and she clearly loves animals very much. She made sure Milo was played with and fed each day and we came home to a happy cat. Highly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Highly recommend! I’m new to the area and needed my cats watched for thanksgiving week and she was quick to respond and took amazing care of my cats. I’m not even back yet and I can tell my cats are happy from the pictures and cat cams. Was such a relief to not have to worry, will definitely book again!”
About: I currently have three boxers…and if you know the breed, they take quite a bit of patience to raise! We go for walks all the time and I’m a good leash trainer, and have experience in leash aggression and helping to break it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that I can work with you to find an agreeable arrangement. Available on short notice as well! I would be happy to keep your dog, or dogs, company, feed them, have play time or just share some snuggles until you get back!
“Janet was an outstanding sitter. She was very professional and set our minds at ease as we were away and do not have to worry about our pets. I would highly recommend her and we will be using her in the future thank you Janet”
“Loved knowing that our little sweeties were being taken care of and loved on while we were out of town. The check-in notices and photos were an added bonus. Communication with Olivia was super quick and she was responsive to questions. We’d hire olivia again in a minute!”
About: As a fellow pet owner of two fur babies, I understand the significance of entrusting your pet's care to someone reliable when you are away. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving optimal care during your absence. I currently work full time as a medical assistant but I have availability most Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays and a few days in between on occasions. When stepping into the role of pet sitter, I am not just providing food and water; I become the guardian of a living being’s entire world and I understand safety is the non-negotiable foundation to a prosperous relationship.
About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals for my whole life and have a passion for caring for them. My family used to have horses, goats, birds, turtles, hamsters, squirrels, dogs, and cats growing up. My mom has been breeding German Shepards consistently for about 5 years now. I’ve helped her raise numerous litters and have spent countless hours playing with puppies. We also have 9 dogs total, 8 being German Shepards and one little dog, so I am more than comfortable taking care of dogs and happy to do so. If I were to stay over to watch your animals I could provide care for them up until 9 in the morning and when I return home from work at around 3:30. That would be Monday through Friday and then I have complete availability on the weekends. A few of our dogs stay inside during the day and night. Then our other dogs each have their own kennels that are big enough to run around in. We crate them separately at night. We also have a big backyard that is fenced in, where they can roam around and play.
“Stephanie is great!! She is so patient and understanding of Foxy being somewhat fearful at first meeting someone new. She is super dependable and accommodating. I will definitely be using her in the future”
“Emma went above and beyond in my time of need. I had a last minute request while I was out of town to feed & check on my mom’s 3 cats while she was in the hospital. Emma was responsive, attentive, great at communicating and took away my stress regarding caring for my moms beloved cats. THANK YOU & we will definitely use her again. ?”

About: Hello my name is Kerri, I have grown up with animals most of my life, I've dealt with animals in many different sizes, I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cats. I do have experience walking dogs, bathing them, as well as bathing cats. I volunteer at Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County, I have been volunteering here for past few months. I'm currently getting my certification for Interior Designer, I'm normally working on a flexible schedule. I don't take any pets on Sundays. I will make sure that any pet in my care is getting their daily needs, also if there is any certain task that needs to be done like dishes or small things that can make your day easier.

About: I have a senior dog myself, I also have a newly puppy. I have had cats in and out of my life. I love all kinds of animals. You are looking for a kind and caring pet sitter, I’m the gal for the job! :) My weekends are fairly open with notice before hand. I am available weeknights after work, some nights I do work later, but will let you know ahead of time. I will play with them and give them lots of exercise. Make sure that they are groomed and well loved when you are gone. I will also complete any task that you have too.
About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 8. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to start professionally pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors and I did just that! While they are on vacation or at work, they have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and cuddle with their furry friends and I hope you will allow me to do the same for you! I am currently working part-time in the mornings, however, will always make time for your fur babies! During the day, I walk and feed my own animals and can do the same for you! Whatever care you need for your animals, I can do (besides giving medicine through needles and running)! If you need me to walk them a mile each morning I can do it! I can follow any schedule you give me if your furry friend follows one and can crate them if needed! I love sleeping with cats and dogs so that won’t be a problem either if they like sleeping with you! If your dog is a cuddler, no worries, cuddles are my favorite thing!
