“Cara was great with Darby. He takes a little to warm up to people and she didn't give up on him. After a slow start they made it out for their walk and he did well with her.”


2. Matt B.
“Matt is a wonderful caretaker for our American Bulldog named Penny, she just loves him and I can just tell that he spends a lot of his time with her playing, training, and giving her love. When we are out of town we hire Matt and he assures to keep the house organized and clean the same way we left it which is much appreciated and important to me. Matt has taught Penny various games, he shows us when we return and we are just so tickled by it since we don't always have the time to do those things with her. I recommend Matt to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter, he does excellent work and is an overall good person. He is our go to choice every time we leave or need an extra hand with Penny, he is well respected and trusted within the community, I received Matt's information from my colleague who utilizes Matt's services from the doggy daycare Matt is employed by.”

“Extremely responsive to any and all communication. Informative, adaptive, and thorough. Upon my ring camera footage, I can tell my doggo loves the walks with Bridgette. I am very pleased start to finish with her work and dedication to my dogs safety and comfort. I will continue to book and I suggest you do too!”


4. Jeremy C.
“I have three ferrets that Jeremy has watched for me on numerous occasions. He is extremely careful and gentle with them, and honestly they never want to come home after being in his care. He makes sure they are fed, watered, played with, and well taken care of. I have had him bathe them and cut their nails, too, and there has never been an issue. You can tell he is an animal person through and through, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch the ferret kiddos! He is FANTASTIC and I highly recommend Jeremy to anyone for any pet needs. He doesn’t shy away from any animals, and I can assure you that if you allow him to care for your animal, you will not be disappointed. I would easily rate 10/10.”


5. Julia S.
About: I have been around animals, especially dogs my whole life. I have three labs and my one lab has had puppies before so I have been around puppies as well. I have had big dogs and small dogs, so i’m comfortable around any size. I have pet sat for neighbors/family/friends etc. I am pretty flexible towards the afternoon and night. I am currently finishing out the semester, so in 2-3 weeks I will be a lot more free to do more drop ins! Not looking to pet sit at my house, but am available to come to drop ins! I can take your pets for walks/ play fetch/ feed/ and just hangout!


6. Kiyah F.
About: I have taken care of dogs (and cats) of all different sizes for my whole life. I am very patient and very loving. I would love to help you out! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of left over time to fill with your furry friends! No matter the breed! I live on the YSU campus in an apartment building. However, there is plenty of walking space around the building, as well as grass space.




7. Daijanique E.
“Daijanique is definitely the person you want watching your dog! It’s been going on a year and a some change now and she still watches my dog for me when I’m out of town or super busy. It’s a big help and relief because I can trust her in my house without me being there! She’s the one for the job!”


8. Athena F.
“Athena has watched my dog loki for me multiple times and never disappoints. Especially with him being a corgi lab. Cause he can be stubborn sometimes, and lets his corgi show. But I know he's safe with her. And she follows anything special that Ihe needs.”




9. Samantha R.

“She was awesome with my little guy. At first he was being a stinker and hid under the bed and barked, I told her she could go and not worry about it. Then I get a picture message of him walking outside fine. Definitely took the time and had the patience to work with Orion to build that trust. Definitely, definitely highly recommend. She is amazing!”


10. Nadia P.

“Nadia has taken care of our Wired Fox Terrier many times including walking, sitting and feeding her. She is very dependable and was excellent with taking loving care of our dog. Penelope loves Nadia so much that she still stops at the house she lived in California when we walk by to see if Nadia is there. I highly recommend her.”


11. Melissa V.
“I have known Melissa for 10+ years and she has always been a helpful caring person! As long as I can remember she’s always been a nurturing hand in either her own pet’s lives or as a friend/family member, being there wholeheartedly.”


12. Cindy C.


“Cindy is very polite snd friendly. Stella Pug loved her! Cindy walked Stella and gave her treats for being good.”


13. Hillary H.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have always adopted my pets and think it's very important for them to have forever homes. I help with a non-profit group called No Fear Rescue which helps dogs go from foster homes to permanent houses! I am going back to school in the Fall, and I think this would be an excellent way to do something I love and earn money for school. I have flexible hours to help out. I understand people have busy lives and dogs need exercise or sometimes just a bathroom break. I haven't met a dog that I don't like. They are such loving animals that are also part of families. I love outdoors and exploring parks with my furry friends. I'm currently in my final year of college and this part time job fits perfectly. Gives me the best break from the books and flexible hours. I am very hands on with pet sitting and your pets care is my number one priority. I always learn the routine that is already set with the pets to make sure every visit is fun and safe!


14. Ella H.
“Ella is a wonderful caregiver for our Doodle! They play, go on long walks, and she provides her lots of love and affection. Ella is reliable, available, and someone I can count on and trust not only with our dog, but in our home. I highly recommend Ella!”


15. Avi C.
“Although Avi recently took care of our dog and cat while we were gone for a week, he’s been our pet sitter for a while (which included a feisty gecko!) When we came home, both animals were so happy to see us but also sad to see Avi go. In the amount of time my husband and I witnessed him interacting with our beloved pets, he was very sweet and warm toward them. Even when our dog was initially barking protectively, Avi took his time, went slow, and gave positive reinforcement the whole time to gain trust. We love that we know we can count on Avi to keep their routines and keep them happy and cared for when we go away for any length of time!”


16. Hollis B.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different breeds and I give them all the love they deserve! I enjoy bringing fur babies on walks, giving baths, etc. Your pets deserve the best care and I can promise they’ll think of me as a new best friend :) Currently I am in school and work part time. I’m available after 5:30 Tuesdays-Fridays, after 3:30 on Saturdays, and all day Sunday and Monday depending on my work schedule😊 I can easily put a leash/harness on any dog and can crate them if needed! I will clean up after them with any mess made and I will make sure they’re completely happy and safe at all times.


17. Megan W.
About: I used to be a mail carrier so if you have a hyper pet I’d be perfect for you as I can give them the exercise they need rain or shine. 🌞 ♥️ I have also undergone a federal background check. Whether it’s exercise, playtime, feedings, administering medication or cuddly company I’d be happy to do it all with your fuzzy baby. I also am a rabbit owner; I’m open to checking in on your rodent babies as well! I’d be grateful to be trusted with your pets & your home (if service is requested). If your pet is okay with car rides I can take them to dog parks & bike trails while sending you digital post cards of your pets experiences with me! Thank you for considering me 💞 🐰 🐈⬛ 🐶 I am currently laid off of work so I have plenty of time. I am a morning person so early mornings are no problem to me! I currently have a cat & a bunny at my apartment, I’m big on proper pet nutrition, health, & safety. I’m not shy; I want to be as well informed as possible about your pet & make you feel safe having me in your home (if your service requests home visits).


18. Lindy H.
“If you are looking for someone to treat your fur baby as one of her own look no further! Lindy always takes such good care of our Kobi, who as an older dog has a few physical restrictions and medical needs. She always goes above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy while we are away. I know that Kobi is in capable loving hands and well taken care of and that puts me at ease when I'm away.”


19. Christine F.
“Christine went above and beyond with our dog and cat. She has a natural instinct and loving nature with animals. Leon and Mitty took to her immediately and they got along so well. She was thorough with walking, feeding, playing and giving lots of love with them. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and loving pet sitter!”


20. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea is a great responsible person and has a huge heart for all animals. She is great with all types of breeds and makes each one feel loved beyond measures.”
