Rachel is absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail, clear communication, and gentle interactions with our two cats and our foster kitty make her a wonderful sitter. She's also observant of any changes to their drinking, eating, or litter box habits, which gave my husband and I peace of mind each day we were out of town! We highly recommend her!

Kayla was AWESOME! My kitties loved her! They loved her so much they actually came out to say "Hi" to her. (They don't usually come out for kitty sitters.) She spoiled them every visit with treats and num-nums. She also did a great job feeding, watering, and cleaning their boxes. ❤️🐾❤️ Thank you Kayla! ❤️🐾❤️

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. At the moment, I have 5 cats and 3 dogs, all very different from each other. I go and volunteer my time at my local Humane Society often, loving, brushing, and socializing them. I’ve dog sat family’s and neighbors’s dogs before and never had any issues. I am also good with big dogs, as I’ve had Newfoundlands in the past and currently have a Burmese Mountain dog now. I also have experience with young and elderly pets, I currently have some very old cats. I typically work 6pm-10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sometimes Saturdays. I prefer working in the morning, as I typically get up early to start my day. I will do whatever is needed for animals to be happy. I have both cats and dogs, some who play and some who don’t, so I just do whatever is needed to make the animals feel comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all personalities and needs. Alongside pet sitting, I also work on dog training, focusing on patience, trust, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely care about every animal I work with and always treat them like family. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood while helping them grow and thrive. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for pet sitting and training anytime after 7am and before 3pm. I will care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, maintaining routines, providing loving attention, regular exercise, enrichment, and patient guidance to ensure they feel safe and happy.

About: I have cared for multiple kinds of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc. I have worked at two veterinary clinics as well as a pet store. I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I am currently working full time at Aldi. My hours differ week to week; earliest I work is at 6am and the latest I get off is 9pm. But, I don’t work super long hours so it is still very easy to fit pet care in my schedule! I will be moving back to school in West Lafayette, IN in August 2026. My services will take place at my client's home. Depending on if there are any specific directions, I will care for your pets properly and do what you request.

At one point in time I took care of 7 new born kittens after they were thrown out and abandoned from their mother, I used to live on a farm and took care of farm animals from sun up till sun down, and now I have so much free time I don’t know what to do with it haha

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.

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 been a dog lover for much of my life! Growing up we had cats and smaller breed dogs. I begged my parents to allow me to watch our neighbors' dogs when they left town, and I was the go-to caretaker of our family's pets. As an adult, I have cared for 3 dogs of my own and currently we have 2 larger breed dogs. We adopted all of our dogs as puppies so I understand the adorable puppy moments, as well as the moments where puppies can be extra work. I've owned dogs into their senior years and how there can be limitation considerations and potentially and care required for health needs that come with age. I'm currently working part-time and manage a small business with my husband. Both are relatively flexible, especially if planned more than 1 week prior. Generally afternoons (after 1pm) are flexible. With advance planning, I can be available earlier in the day too. I can visit your home to care for your pets. If you have dogs and want me to provide exercise (walk or backyard play session), I can do so based on your preference. If you would like, I can also check on things inside such as water/food, or any other requested services (that I am able to provide).
