“I was impressed with Catherine from start to finish. My pets immediately took to her, and she gave them lots of love and care while I was away. She sent regular updates and pics, and I felt very comfortable with her caring for them in my home. I was extremely impressed and happy with her and her service. Highly recommend her!”
“Cassie was great! I was afraid my dogs might be a little standoffish because two of them take a while to warm up to people, but by the end of her night here, they all seem to be best buddies! She took great care of them and sent me many great pictures, which I really appreciate. She also sent me updates on how they were doing. She even took them outside and had play time with them. I will definitely recommend her to anyone and will book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Hannah is absolutely incredible. She always goes above & beyond to ensure our fur baby is well taken care of & sends me pictures throughout the stay so I know it's going well. I recommend Hannah time & time again for dog sitting needs!”
“Leah took really good care of my two dogs while I was out celebrating my birthday all day . She made me feel at ease by sending updates as well as pictures. Both of the dogs were both grinning from ear to ear from the pictures she sent us. Thank you!”
About: I have been watching dogs and house sitting for over 5 years. I have also trained a service dog but am not a certified trainer yet! I am going to school full-time and working part time Monday through Thursday till 3:00pm. Free anytime outside of that time frame. Travel back-and-forth from Hubbard to Kent and Columbus quite frequently. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I provide personalized attention, ensuring each pet feels secure and loved in a familiar environment. For in-home dog sitting, I maintain their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging outings tailored to their energy level and personality. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are happy and well-cared for.
“Taylor was absolutely incredible and gave us the best thing possible while we were out of town: peace of mind. She is a kind, respectful, and easy to talk to! She kept in open communication every step of the way. She did not complain when there was an alarm issue on her last night here and she took care of our home as if it was her own. She was incredible with our sweet pup June and our two skittish bunnies. Taylor provided feedback about our animals during our trip and also sent updates and photos. June requires daily medication and a patient leader and Taylor handled her just as we would! Our house was in the same condition as when we left it and she took care of everything we asked and followed any directions or requests without issue. We really enjoyed meeting her and had utter peace of mind the moment we left. We would recommend Taylor to anyone and we definitely plan on reaching out to her for future trips and travel. June, Jackie, and Jerry loved her!”

I am responsible for changing out their cat litter, making sure they have food and wet food , also making sure they have water.

About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I understand them like I understand people. I surrounded my life around them and dedicated my life to taking care of them. I have a gift of understanding them, something people have told me for years. I love them with all my heart and soul and do everything in my power to make sure they are happy. Animals bring joy to the world 💜 I work at a Veterinarian Clinic, my schedule can vary but I will always do my best to accommodate your animals needs. I can be flexible for boarding. I have a fenced in back yard. I am located right on the lake so I always take my dogs for walks, and golf cart runs by the lake. I have two dogs and two cats at home. They get along really well with all critters.
“Sarah and her 6 year old daughter took wonderful care of my high energy dog, Penny, and two cats, Sully and Oliver at our home! She sent many photos throughout the 4 days which reassured us that our fur babies were content and well cared for. She followed all our instructions for special feeding and medication. She gave Penny plenty of exercise and even sent some super fun videos of them playing chase with Penny, her favorite game. Penny got finicky on a walk so Sarah carried her home quite a distance. (She’s 25 lbs so this wasn’t easy!) She scooped the litter and the yard, brought in our garbage cans and mail, left the house just the way she found it. All our pets were as normal as could be when we got home which is a great sign of a successful pet sitting experience. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”

About: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me.

I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.
“Shane is awesome! He took great care of our 3 goldens and 4 cats. He was very good with Tank (our high maintenance dog) and was able to keep him calm and happy. We got daily photos and updates.

Ash N.
“Ash is absolutely fantastic with dogs! From the very first walk, it was clear how naturally caring and attentive she is. Whether it's a high-energy pup that needs a long walk or a shy dog that needs a gentle hand, Ash always knows just what to do. She's reliable, patient, and truly loves what she does. My dog always comes home happy and well-cared for after spending time with her. I couldn't ask for a better sitter or walker—Ash is a real gem on Rover!”
