Cat Sitting in Defiance

“Kaila did an awesome job watching our cats! We received daily updates with photos, and they were well looked after!”

“Bree went above and beyond when we had an emergency on our vacation far from home. Recommend her heartily (make sure to leave a nice tip if she has to climb through your window).”

“Taylor is absolutely wonderful. I'm in sales, so I'm always on the road. She is accommodating of my weird schedule. Thank you for taking care of my best friend, Max 😊”

“This is the second time Evie has watched Meatball and we would definitely book again. He seemed to still trust her after the two years between bookings and was happy and cozy when I got home. Thanks Evie!”

About: I’m someone who lights up around animals—they bring so much joy to life! Whether it’s dogs, cats, or the tiniest critters, I love connecting with them and understanding their unique personalities. I’m energetic and playful but also responsible and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. From long walks to cozy snuggles, I create a nurturing environment where pets thrive. Last March, my dog Maggie lost feeling in her back legs, and I provided her 24/7 care. I handled everything—feeding, medication, changing potty pads, helping her use the restroom, and guiding her through rehab exercises. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I love; it’s something I’m deeply committed to. I am a college student with classes from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. I have winter break from December 13th to January 13th, which will clear my schedule! I have another job, which is only 20 hours or less a week. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible, ensuring familiarity and comfort. I keep the space clean, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, and engage in activities that keep the pet happy and relaxed. My priority is always the pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being.

“Amara was wonderful with my dog for a drop in! We have a very excitable 80lb dog and she was so great with her! She was communicative, professional, and I loved all the updates and photos of my pup from her visit! We will absolutely be using Amara again 🐾”

“She was very accommodating with the last minute request and she was great with my German shepherds!”

About: I have been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school. I have many years experience with home and pet sitting. I can also administer medications including vaccines. I am currently looking to do pet sitting full time and have a very open schedule, so I am very flexible in what days I can sit. I will no longer be accepting clients if it is within a week of booking, as that does not give me time to properly look into who I accept as a client. I am also requiring a meet and greet at least a week in advance to see if your dogs are properly trained and will listen to basic commands, and to make sure the house is clean and liveable for the time I will be there. I plan on utilizing what is available at your house, but I also plan on taking your pet for car rides or to parks to enjoy the outdoors, if that is something they are allowed. I can’t stay at a house or get dogs out of a house with cats. I am highly allergic to them, so it has to be a dog only household. I am currently only able to stay at your home as an option, as my household has dog unfriendly dogs.

“As a loving dog mom herself, Ashlee knows the ins and outs of pet care from top to bottom. Her own puppies, Chloe and Einstein, are a living testament to the love, care and affection she has for dogs. She cares about animals with so much of her heart, and goes above and beyond to care for them whenever they need her. She’s provided her own puppies with the kind of life that all dogs deserve, and there’s no one I would trust more than her to care for my pets.”

About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. I walk my dogs a few times a day and play with them when they get the zoomies. They all keep each other company in some way as well as myself and my family.

“Karissa is great! She responds quickly, is punctual and my dog Luna loves when she visits. She makes it much easier for me to leave Luna for a day out.”

“Jordyn did a wonderful job watching my dog Lenny, I’m so glad I reached out to her! I received lots of updates and photos which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I have gained experience caring for animals throughout my entire life. I love to make animals happy whether through play, walks, or simply pets to relax when away from their owners. I helped both raise puppies & care for our older dogs throughout my life & have much love for all! Allow me to give you peace of mind, with proper care and love, when you have to be away. I currently only work part time or from home. My schedule is flexible & easily adjustable when needed. I can easily accommodate different needs to ensure your pet is well cared for. I am able to care for pets in any way needed. I will take them on walks in the park next to my home, crate if needed, & cuddle up with them on my couch.

About: I've worked in the pet industry since the age of 17 (currently 26) and have had personal pets all my life. I was a professional groomer in California before moving to Ohio and becoming a stay at home mom. I worked at Fort Defiance Humane Society as a Kennel Tech for a few months before deciding to part ways. I'm currently a stay at home mom, my son is 2 and absolutely adores dogs. He would have to accompany my to any walking or drop ins. We are both very aware of saftey and how to handle dogs. I believe in providing proper mental and physical enrichment for the animals in the home. In my home my cats are brushed daily, and we give them plenty of play time.

“Courtney is an experienced, responsible and dependable person. She has a great love for animals. Her profession gives her the added knowledge for her to take excellent care of your pet.”

“Lindsay is a very compassionate caregiver. She loves the dogs like her own. She puts the animal first and does way beyond what is required of her.”

“This was our first experience using Rover for our 2 dogs and Bryn was amazing!! We had a terrible experience at a dog boarding place so I was nervous at first to have someone else watch the dogs but Bryn was awesome! It was so nice to have the dogs stay at home in a familiar place! She sent so many pictures and kept us updated on the dogs throughout the entire weekend. She even left a little Polaroid picture for us of the dogs!? 10/10 recommend hiring her to watch your dogs! Thank you so much Bryn!! ?”

“Sarah is the best! She watched my 2 pups when we went out of town and she followed all instructions. Sarah sent us updates while the pups were in her care as well. I knew my pups were well taken care of. Book with Sarah she’s amazing!”

“My husband and I have used Jaekob for several year to care for our rambunctious Yellow Lab in our home. Jaekob has been a great fit for us! Ollie loves him and jumps right into his lap to get cuddles. Jaekob is respectful of our home and is flexible with scheduling if our leaving/returning times have to be adjusted. We highly recommend him but hope he'll always be available for Ollie when we need him!”

“She was very good and nice to are Lola and Harley 😊😊the only problem we had was there feeding schedule there were a couple of days they went 14 to 15 hours between meals!!!”
