About: I have been pet-sitting for over 12 years and have experience with all types of dogs and cats. One of my recurring clients fosters dogs with special needs and care requirements, allowing me the ability to care for these dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds of temperaments, ages, physical handicaps, and sizes/breeds. I am also an avid cat lover with experience much the same as my experience with dogs! I personally have owned over a dozen different dogs and cats, including puppies, kittens, aggressive dogs, and elderly cats and dogs. I am also comfortable with exotic pets such as snakes and other reptiles, fish, and aquatic amphibians. I currently have a wide open-schedule allowing for pet-sitting at any time. I have no problem shifting my schedule around if I need to wake up early or go to bed late. I can come over to check on your pets at any time of day or night if needed. I have experience with animals with special and specific needs including elderly pets and puppies and kittens. I can crate your pets as well as walk them if needed.
“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”
About: I have worked with multiple ages and dogs with disabilities such as loss of hearing. I also have experience with giving oral medications. I will provide plenty of belly rubs and snuggles to make sure your fur baby gets lots of love while you are away. I’m currently working part time as a dance teacher, but I am out of college classes for the summer so that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. When taking care of your pets in your home, I will strictly follow the instructions you leave for me. I will leave your home looking better than when I arrived. I will always respect your home and belongings.
“Jess was wonderful! Our dog is nervous with new people, but she took the time to get to know him and he is very comfortable with her. He was happy and relaxed after spending time with her and looked happy as a clam in all his walk photos:) She was very friendly, responsive, and great to talk to. We loved getting pics and updates from his walks. Jess will be our top choice next time and every time we are in Toledo!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. Including Bulldogs, Pomeranians, German Shepards, and Retrievers. Currently, I own 5 cats name Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Penelope. I used to volunteer at local animal shelters including the Humane Society. I have also fostered a number of different animals that also include birds, and ferrets. My mom is also a dog groomer so I may be knowledgeable on other things as well or be able to ask her if any additional services are needed. She has been dog grooming for over 20 years, so I have grown up in many pet friendly environments. I am currently working full time and in nursing school. I am available to stop in before and after work/school. Work usually starts anywhere from 8-10:30 and ends at 4:30-7. Pets are more than welcome at my house. I do have a fenced in yard. But I also have 2 toddlers and 5 cats so usually at their house is better and more comfortable for their furry friend.

“Chloe has been my pet sitter for over 5 years. I foster for a dog rescue group and can have several dogs at a time.

I have never experienced any problems and trust her completely to take care of my personal dogs and the various foster dogs.”
