About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

“Josephine did a great job taking care of our senior dog and two cats. We got daily updates on how they were doing and came home to them happy and healthy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a house sitter!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover! From small dogs, to medium and large dogs — I’ve had all! I’ve also had cats and kittens my entire life! I am responsible, kind-hearted, and eager to meet new animals! I’ve worked with puppies and kittens all the way through senior dogs and cats who might need extra care or medication. I am currently a full-time college student in my last 2 semesters of college! I do a lot of my work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am eager to help care for your fur baby in any way they need! If they’re a puppy and need time to play, I totally understand! If they’re an older dog who needs more care or to be given medication, I have also worked with that! Whatever works best for you and your dog is what I’m here to do!

About: Ever since I was a little girl I knew working with animals was what I wanted to do. I started with family members pets, then moved on to friends and friends of friends now I have lots of experience. I grew up on a farm, raising farm animals, participating in 4h, and racing horses. I’ve owned almost every small pet you could have while growing up. I take my care with animals extremely serious and I take pride in the exceptional care I can proved for animals. Pets have a huge soft spot in my heart and there is nothing more I’d rather do in life. I have experience with reptiles as well as administering medications. I have lots of reviews and references and a page on Facebook called “Happy Paws” you can feel free to check out as well! I’m a full time pet sitter, therefore I have open availability. I work a lot of odd hours so early mornings or late nights doesn’t bother me! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pets company. I don’t do crates unless requested by the owner. I’m home with your pet 24/7 so no need to worry about that. I have lots of toys and treats and I always separate during feeding time. I have a separate area your pet can be alone if they are nervous and need a calm environment!

“Abigale was great! She stayed at our house for over 10 days to watch our English Mastiff, Meera, and our short-haired cat, Starlord. Abigale took great care of our animals, giving us picture updates regularly. We will definitely be using her again. A helpful tip for anyone interested in the 'House Sitting' service: On top of the Rover fee, we offered to provide a fully stocked fridge and pantry with items of her request. We also tipped her for the care she provided. These are not required, however, it does seem like something that should at least be offered to the sitter.”


“Alexis was amazing and the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were well taken care of, and they loved her! Can’t recommend Alexis enough!”


About: I always had either a cat or dog when i was growing up. I’ve always taken really good care of my pets. I’ve always loved them like children. I currently work full time at a school but I am free most weekends and depending on where a client is located, i could stop by after work for potty breaks. When in a clients home i will respect their wishes and routine for their fur babies. I will provide the utmost care to their pets and treat them like my own.

“We had a great experience working with Kaitlyn to watch our 2yr old Lab, Gus, for a day. Gus is a rescue with some behavior quirks and she was very good about helping us further his training exercises while we were gone. In the process of setting up the dog-sit, she was timely with communication and reliable with scheduling. We are looking forward to working with her again later this month on a longer stay!”

About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them.

I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I have taken care of my friends dogs and absolutely love taking care of animals. Enjoy having them around the house. I am very friendly and my dog Poppy gets along with others. I am currently working full-time through the school year. I have my summers off Starting in June. So will have more time in the summer and fall. Will have some in the winter. I have a fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play. I also can crate if needed as well. My back yard is big so plenty of room to run.

About: I’ve been around lots of dogs and cats for my entire life, and I have always loved taking care of all animals! I worked in a vet clinic as a kennel assistant last year as well. I currently nanny for a local family and take care of their pets 3 days out of the week, and I am now opening up the remaining weekdays and weekends for other local families! I will make sure to follow your everyday routine as closely as I can while pet sitting in your home! Whether that includes feeding multiple times per day or playing for a certain period of time, I can guarantee your pet will be happy before I leave!
