“Shelly is very good with our aggressive cat. She follows our directions and we feel comfortable leaving our pet in her care while we're away. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Shelly.”
About: I’m a recent graduate from the Veterinary Technician program at CSCC where I treated and cared for the dogs that lived there. I’ve owned pets since I was 4 years old and often take care of neighbors or family member’s pets. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently studying to take the VTNE, so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I’m available at nearly all times to take care of your beloved pets. I have experience in giving medications, so if your pets need any medication during their time with me, I can accommodate. Additionally, I able to crate your dog if needed and will allow them multiple potty breaks throughout the day. Anything you need for your fur babies, I’m happy to do!
“Kara was an absolute delight. She took great care of our animals including some extra TLS with a asthmatic cat. She was a delight to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitter”
“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”
“Madigan did a wonderful job checking in on our kitties while we were out of town! She was comfortable with giving my elderly cat her insulin injections and oral medications and did a great job giving them to her. She wrote detailed notes about each visit, took lots of great pictures, and showed our kitties lots of love. Would recommend Madigan- she will do an awesome job taking care of your pets!”
“Kristin did a great job taking care of our grumpy kitty, Linus! Very communicative and got a picture of him at every drop-in (even when he was mostly hiding)! Definitely would recommend and book again!”
“Abigail was so sweet! From her very first message I knew we'd found a conscientious and caring sitter for our cat. I really appreciated her thorough write-up of her visit with Cricket and the cute pictures. We highly recommended her!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was a child. I have helped my girlfriend train our current dog which is a bernedoodle. He knows how to sit, shake, go to his pillow, and he is currently learning to roll over. I currently have a Doberman at my parents house that I help take care of while I am home. I am currently a dental student at Ohio state and I am in school from 7:30-4:00 daily but the weekends I am free. Some days I will finish before 4:00 but that depends on the week. I feed and water my current dogs and cats every morning and every evening. They get treats throughout the day when they exhibit good behavior and listening skills so they know that is a positive thing to keep doing it.

Things he has done for me: - walked the dogs - house set to care for the dogs while I’ve been away - fed the animals (have had dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, and a hamster) - given my pets their medication - plays with them And so much more!!!”

Hayley C.
“We chose Hayley to walk our Gracie while we work. She absolutely loves her. Grace does this little excited twirl thing when she sees people she loves,..so of course she puts on a little tap dancing show when she sees Hayley walk through the door. At one point, we had her come stay at our house while we went out of town for the night,..that’s how much we all love her. Thank you, Hayley for being my ‘go-to’ for helping with our Grace❤️”
