About: Hello! My name is Amber. I’m currently available to pet sit in Lima and surrounding areas! Dogs are one of my great loves in life. I previously worked at a no-kill shelter in Columbus, Ohio where I worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am comfortable with many temperaments—I haven’t yet met an anxious dog who didn’t warm up to me quickly—but if your dog has any aggression issues, I am not comfortable accepting the request. If needed, I can administer oral medication; I do not have experience with needles. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, who adapts quickly to new surroundings. I am generally pretty quiet, and I always respect my surroundings. Just like I treat your pets like my own, the same goes for your home. I always make sure it is clean and well kept. By trusting me with the care of your home and your pets, you are giving me the opportunity to do what I love, so there is no question that I will go above and beyond what is expected of me. If you are interested in discussing an agreement further or wish to see additional references, please contact me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am insured by Pet Sitters Associates. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to do drop-ins, walks, and overnight sits. I try to accommodate schedule requests as best I can! I follow any verbal or written instructions I have been provided. I often send updates to pet owners. I’m a big fan of sending selfies with pets!

“It’s nice to be on vacation and have my mind at ease knowing my cat is well cared for! Alexis was extremely responsive and handled a couple of unexpected changes in care requirements really well. She’s wonderful with my cat and be clearly loved having her around! I’d recommend her to anyone.”



“Thomas provided a great care for my pups!!! He put extra effort to make sure my pups are comfortable and well taken care of. One of my pups is very skittish and scared but he was being very gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend him!!! Thank you!!!”


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!

About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.

“She was an amazing help when I was away for a week for work. She was communicative on an issue one of my cats was having and kept me posted on the events that were happening in the house. She even offered to spend extra time with my cat that was not enjoying me being gone. I will 100% be contacting her again in the future when we will be away for work or trips ❤️”


About: I've been a pet owner since I was 10 years old. I have been the go-to pet sitter for anyone from friends to family to family friends. I see pets as family members and will treat them as such. I am a full-time mom looking for some extra money to provide money for my babies. my babies would also be involved if able to be in pet visits and walks. I respect the clients home and the pets safe while providing whatever care is needed to be given. I will keep the home safe and clean.

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.

“Hope takes wonderful care of our fur babies: attentive, proactive, responsive and responsible. I highly recommend.”


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 always been the go to person when someone needs their dog picked up, let out or watched. I’ve had animals my entire life from horses to dogs. I am a registered nurse who works 3 days a week. I am currently looking for a side gig that is baby friendly so my son can tag along on walks. Your dogs will not be left out of my sight! I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.

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!

About: I'm currently attaining my certification towards my dog training. I'm working towards building my clientele for upcoming boarding/training center with my son who is also a certified dog trainer. I have many years experience with giant breeds (I have 2 great danes at the moment). I love the little ones also! I'll walk your dog, bathe, clip nails, even teach some tricks if you'd like! I have a fairly flexible schedule. Available almost every day of the week! I do work 3rd shift so I have all day free to spend adequate time with your pet. I'm always with pets while outside and they are leashed unless there is a fenced in area. And would never be left outside alone! Safety for the dogs and myself are of the utmost concern.
