“Laura was absolutely amazing! I have a lot of anxiety leaving my fur babies at home but she eased all my worries! She was kind and sent updates and pictures each day. I have already booked her for another trip! 10/10 recommend! <3”



“Amber was so great with Finn again. She sent pics and videos of Finn so I knew what they had done that day and it is evident from the pictures that he adores her! She was also flexible with my weird schedule which was much appreciated, as flight changes can be super stressful. We highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“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: Hi, I’m Hope! I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets—both my own and those of happy clients. I currently work in a veterinary clinic and am studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, so you can trust that your furry friends are in knowledgeable and loving hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or snuggles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8–6, but I’m available for pet care after work and on my days off. I always receive my schedule a month in advance, so I can plan and let you know exactly when I’m free. Some weeks I work more than two days, but I make sure to fit pet care around my shifts. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and handle any special needs like medications. I also keep the space tidy and send updates so you know they’re happy and safe.

“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”


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 currently do not have a job at the moment but I am actively searching. So as of now, my time is completely free to care for your pets! 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.

“Nikki was awesome with our two dogs! She went above and beyond and re-arranged her schedule to accommodate ours! I would highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, we will definitely be reaching out to her again! 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. For drop in visits and sitting I will be making sure they get food and water whilst their owners are gone. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom All and all making sure they are happy and healthy while I am there and before I leave. When I walk dogs I let them take their time to go to the bathroom maybe even play a little.


“Bren has been incredible. She really goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs are safe and that are enjoying the time with her. I look forward to the pictures everyday and I really feel at ease when they are with her.”


About: I have had dogs all my life and I have pet sit for many of family members for years. I also worked in a kennel for two summers. I also go to school for pre-vet so I work with animals all the time. I am a college student at the university so mornings are hard with school but afternoons are open. I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after 2pm. I don’t have a pet at the moment so yours would not have to worry. I can easily crate if needed be and we have a huge yard for them to run around.

“Sarah made quick friends with our dogs! Updates were sent several times a day-including pictures of the dogs snuggling with their new friend! I can tell that our pet were VERY well taken care of in our absence and would recommend Sarah for pet care to any of my friends/family!”


About: I’ve had dogs around the house for as long as I could remember, I love meeting new furry friends and can’t wait to meet yours! I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and giving medicine. I currently have a part-time job and go to school, that takes up around 8 hours of my day when I do have work, I have a break in between the two leaving me with plenty of time to come hangout with your pups and also all night after class. I am dedicated to keeping your pet on its schedule, I would like to make him/her be as comfortable as possible also while making you feel at ease keeping you updated and letting you know how it is going.

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 am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! 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: First of all, dogs are my absolute passion and believe they are not just pets, but truly are family! I have two (quirky) rescue dogs of my own, Joey and Coco. Our family has fostered dogs for a local rescue, so I am comfortable with dogs that may have unique quirks. I am passionate about ensuring pets are cared for in the way THEY need. If that's a nice long walk, great! If that's a game of intense fetch, awesome! Maybe it's just cuddles on the couch...also great! I would love to be able to spend time with your furry friend when you are not able, because again, they are family and deserve top notch care. I hope to meet you and your furry fam soon! Right now, my evenings are open (6:15-9 pm) and my weekends are completely open when I am in town! I am definitely flexible on weekends. I am a homebody! We live in Elida after living in Cincinnati for 10 years! I am not currently accepting dogs to stay at our home due to anxiety in my own pups with new pups in their space. However, I will ensure your pup is safe and well cared for in your own home for our visits! I, myself, have an escape artist, so outdoor play is always highly supervised, as is the opening and closing of doors. Rest assured your pup will be safe and well cared for in my 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've personally had three dogs in my home while growing up. I have had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and frogs as well. I currently have four cats in my care and have taken care of other people's dogs. I am currently in school, gaining my certifications for pet boarding. I am looking to take care of animals in the morning and occasional weekends. I am open to caring for your animals in their home, I am not able to house animals at my own house or stay overnight at the moment.

About: I’ve been around any type of animal since I’ve remember. I’ll make sure your little fur balls are well taken care of under me and everything will be set. Super understanding and easy to get along with and I love to make bondings with them! I’m currently in college and go to class in the morning and get out around 12:30. After class ill be over and ready to take care of your fur babies. For my personal pets I make sure they are spoiled and are happy and in a clean area they have a big yard to run around and play in. For your fur balls I’d make sure to take them on a decently long walk on a good day or car rides if that’s what your dog likes! They will be spoiled with treats if they’re good for me and if I’m doing a dog sit at home I’ll make sure to play with them and make sure they don’t feel left out.

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.
