About: Hi, I'm Samantha! I was born and raised in the Marblehead and Port Clinton area and have spent my life around animals. I'm the proud owner of two dogs—Remy, my Husky, and Rayla, my Dalmatian—who fuel my passion for providing exceptional care to every dog I meet. With over 10 years of experience working with and around dogs, I have cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I also own and operate Puckett's Pups, a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Marblehead. Through my experience, I've learned that while many dogs enjoy a facility setting, some are happiest and most comfortable in their own home environment. That's why I joined Rover—to provide a safe, seamless, and personalized experience for dogs who may not do well in a traditional boarding facility or simply prefer the comfort of their own surroundings. Whether your pup needs drop-in visits, overnight care, or companionship while you're away, I am committed to maintaining their routine and providing the love, attention, and care they deserve. As a lifelong local resident and experienced dog care professional, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! While I primarily provide weekend care, I have a pretty flexible schedule while running my own business and can drop in / do walks during the week as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and ensure each pet receives individualized attention, affection, and care. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away. With over 10 years of experience working with dogs and as the owner of Puckett's Pups in Marblehead, I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest.

“Will absolutely be booking with again! Communication was consistent and thorough! My dog is a bit skiddish and they ended up as best friends ! Highly recommend !”

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.

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.”

“So responsible and friendly. Great to have a check in.”

“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).

“I needed someone last minute to come care for my dog and Hali answered right away! She’s very friendly and was even willing to come meet our dog in advance just to ease our minds. If we lived in Port Clinton full time she would definitely be a regular of ours. Our dog absolutely loved her, definitely recommend!”

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.

“Reliable and attentive.”

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

I like to give attention to animals I am a teacher in Sandusky and have good availability in the summer every other week! I am willing to travel a little and make sure your pet is taken care of! I follow the guidelines of each person and am very cautious when it comes to the care of all animals and people. Every person cares for their pet differently and I want to respect that.
