About: I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I hope I can be of service to you when you need someone to watch your pet(s). You can let me know what their day to day routine is so that I can give them the care that they need. I don't have any pets of my own at this time but over the past twenty five years that I've lived here I've had both dogs and cats and even chickens. Even though I live out here in the country I'm usually within a thirty-minute drive or less from the Cincinnati area. We can discuss more in detail when we talk or text or do our meet and greet. Thanks. Make sure your pet(s) are up to date on their flea and tick treatments. I do work during the week but I am available to care for your pet(s) all day Wenesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I enjoy taking daily walks outside and getting exercise with the dogs. We play ball and play with whatever toys you bring over while we are inside. I make sure they are safe and well cared for the entire stay. I am home all day on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We will have plenty of time to get outdoors for walks and potty breaks. I keep the dogs on leashes while we take our walks but I also have a tie cable I can put them on so we can stay out for awhile.

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of animal since I was a kid. I started bottle feeding strays kitten I had found at around the age of 8. Puppies are slightly different for me as I never raised them but still given the same care. I work full time for amazon, but want to devote more of my time to caring for animal so I do make sure I have a flexible schedule. I don’t have anything unsafe in my home for my own pets, so the same will go for someone else’s. They’re not limited to where they can spend their time. I do use precautions to keep away from the cat boxes for dogs.
About: You know when you walk by a dog, he starts walking towards you, trying to drag their owner towards you, and you know he just wants to say hello and be pet? My thought process is the same as the dogs every time I pass one. Nine times out of ten I will stop, ask the owner if it's alright to pet their dog, then sit and chat with them and love on the dog for a while. (And I only chat to pet the dog longer). All my life I have heard many cases of, "Don't touch my cat or he'll scratch you" or "Watch out for the dog, he growls at everyone" and before my visit is over I have the cat in my lap and the dog following me where ever I go. My fiancée calls me Dr. Doolittle.

I know how much pets mean to you! Fur babies are family!
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I strive to make all animals’ lives better. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity. I am currently preparing to start grooming school this year! (I also have quite a bit of experience with houseplants!) I work night shift (6pm - 4:30am) so it can be difficult but I make pet care a priority. I make sure to spend as much time outside as possible doing a mix of basic training and puzzles. I live on a farm with an open field and one semi-reactive dog (Which would be put in the house to prevent accidents). While outside I take my dog for walks around the field so she can sniff and dig as much as she would like. I also do snuffle mats/dog puzzles

Ron H.
“Ron and I were roommates for several years. Ron had a pittie and I owned a French Mastiff. Through the years of living under the same roof and both of us owning dogs, I have true first hand, day to day knowledge of just how amazing Ron is with dogs. Ron's dog Loki had possibly an allergy of some kind and I would see Ron giving Loki his meds like clock work. Ron always fed Loki quality dog food. Loki never lacked for love, attention, and was well behaved due to Ron being so diligent with him. Kind and caring. Ron earned my trust immediately and I would leave my Mastiff, Aubrey in his care. I NEVER left my Aubrey with anyone, ever. Aubrey adored him. Loki adored him. Ron was attentive to every tiny thing about Loki (and Aubrey) and so when he spotted a tiny lump on Loki, to the vets they went. Loki had cancer and he didn't waste one minute to have it removed. Ron was extremely vigilant watching over Loki (although, he obviously always did) and if there were any question or doubt, off to the vets he would go. I could not name one single person who I would trust more with my dog than Ron. Ron loves dogs with a passion that you only see in a handful of people.”
