House Sitting in Elida

“Laura was great with our brand new puppy while we were out for the day! I loved seeing the pictures and updates she sent, and knowing that he was in good hands.”

“Where do I begin!! Cat just adopted her first dog & I would have never have guessed. She acts like a veteran to it. So attentive & loving. She cares for her puppy just like a human. I have her watch my dog and I love that she sends me updates & gives him the exercise he needs. She is very energetic so it’s not a problem for her to get out and go on a walk! (Or two, or three) Highly recommend if you want a energy filled, and amazing communicator dog sitter / walker !”

“I was extremely nervous leaving our 2 dogs with someone outside of the family for our first time, but Val was very comforting and responsive toward us, and attentive to our dogs. She provided pictures twice a day, administered medicine to both of them, and then went above and beyond to clean our house and water plants. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and provides information and suggestions. We will be contacting her again for our next trip!”

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of every animal you can imagine. Dogs, cats, chickens, stray animals, rabbits, birds etc. I've always been attached to animals. My favorite thing I love to do is take in strays. I have experience administering medicine and taking care of ill animals, as well as dog training my own dogs. I live in a cute brick house out in the country with a lot of land. I also have an underground electric fence, but it not currently being used. I am a SAHM currently and usually pretty flexible, apart from Dr's appointments, meetings, and taking my daughter to school in Findlay Ohio every other week. To me and my family, EVERY animal is family. PLEASE NOTE- although I have a family, I will be the only one caring for your beloved pets! I'm currently not working and am taking a couple semesters off from nursing school. I am pretty flexible, especially on Weekends. I do have frequent appointments and some meetings this month. I would be available every other Wednesday through Thursday from 1030:230, and Monday through Tuesday 8am-4pm, then the following weeks i would be available Monday-Thursday 8am-4pm. Fridays and Sundays I am usually free most of the day. My top priority is your pets safety and well being. We take supervised walks to avoid unsecure situations and I monitor every activity inside of the home. I am efficent at handling emergencies and messes calmly but proficiently. I am privately insured in addition to the Rover gaurantee, so rest assured both you and your furry friends are well protected! We have an open space out in the county with a TON of yard that is not fenced. I have experience crate training and can crate your fur baby if needed. I have three lovely, respectable children who are well educated and trained how to treat and respect animals. We also have 1 half German Shepard/Boarder Collie male dog, who is very Friendly and Playful. He gets along great with other animals. He is crate trained, neutered, and up to date on immunizations. I have experience caring for aggressive and elderly dogs, as well as dogs with certain health conditions and special needs. However, we do not except dogs with prong or ecollars. I am able to bath, groom, and nail trim your pups for an additional cost. Additionally, if your male dog is unneutered I do charge 3 dollars extra per day for boarding.

“Sarah was outstanding! She went above and beyond what I asked of her and made me feel so comfortable with her caring for my pets. She took amazing care of our puppy and was so kind and friendly. I would highly reccomend her to anyone!”

“Gabrielle is an amazing young lady who has always had a deep love for animals. She has 2 dogs of her own who she desperately misses while she’s away at school. You couldn’t ask for anyone better to treat your pets like family. You won’t be disappointed in this decision.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds since I was a child. I’ve been very reliable with family members and friends when it comes to dog sitting. I also enjoy hanging out with, feeding, and bathing dogs! I am available from 11 am to 2 pm Monday through Friday. I care for my own dogs daily, but I planned to pick up pet care in my free time, while I’m not working my regular job. I also am in the National Guard and am gone one weekend a month. I decided to offer my services to help out the community. My schedule is pretty consistent unless I am away for a military mission. I have 2 dogs. I have always crate trained my dogs, but I have had fenced in back yards in the past. They have several toys and blankets. They are very friendly!

“Ragan watched my two dogs and cat while I was visiting my husband at his military base out of state. She took really good care of them and walked them everyday I was gone. One of my dogs is on a special kidney care dog food. We normally order it to be delivered to the house. It was on back order, but Ragan was kind enough to go to my dogs Vet clinic and buy a bag of her special food to get her taken care of in the meantime time! I will always have Ragan watch my babies and recommend Ragan to any of my family and friends who need pet care!”

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.

“Juliana is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever met. She is friendly, kind, responsible, and well versed in animal care. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week and have no doubt that she would make an amazing pet caregiver.”

“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.”

“Tricia is absolutely wonderful with our pets! We haven't ever seen them take to to strangers as well s they did her. Her laugh while playing with the dogs was truly infectious. We've already booked her again for our next vacation.”

“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!”

“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’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them. 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

“Kaitlin did a wonderful job with our dog. I was nervous as this is the first time we’ve used her and she exceeded our expectations! She helped work on his behavior issues and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will be definitely using her anytime we go out of town!”

About: I have owned and cared for many different animals including dogs, cats, fish, goats and many more! I also am working towards getting my animal science degree at the University of Findlay! Making sure the pets are getting all of their needs is my number one priority! Providing the proper care the animals need on a daily basis is important to me and making sure the animals are doing their best is essential! Ensuring that I know all of the needs of the animal is important to me so that I can provide the best care for the animals. Making sure the animals are given the appropriate care and knowing they are healthy our my main priorities. Also giving them plenty of time to play and get exercise is an important part of caring!

“Cierra is amazing! She’s attentive, kind, and treats my pets like her own. My dogs adore her and get so excited when she walks in!”
