Cat Sitting Fostoria

About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!

About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals my entire life. I’ve been responsible for grooming, feeding, training, and exercising them. I’ve had animals with special needs as well. I have a passion for helping and caring for animals. I also have a passion to help others. I found this was perfect to work with animals and help others by caring for their pets. I currently work 3 days a week, usually Monday-Friday at Toledo hospital. So I have at least 4 days that I’m free to take care of your pet. I have one pup myself so I’m already used to it! I take my dog on multiple walks and just use a lead outdoors to keep her close. If I needed to stop by to help an animal at your residence, I’d just need instruction!

“Thank you for taking care of our large clowder of cats! I appreciated the daily check-in and that you looked for each and every one of our babies and reported such. It was such a relief to know that they were being taken care of while we were so far away. It was also great to come home last night and not have to worry about feeding them or cleaning cat litter. Thank you, again.”

About: Growing up, my family has never not had a dog. I come from a family of dog lovers! I have experience with Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I’ve always had a passion for animals and volunteer my time as a board member of Montana Pittie Project. My dog is my child and I will treat yours like it’s my baby as well! I also have experience taking care of special needs dogs, my dog that passed the rainbow bridge in August of 2022 was special needs himself. I have fostered multiple dogs while working in rescue and have experience with many different dog personalities and needs. I love sending photo updates to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Feel free to ask me any questions! I work full time as a self employed hairstylist. With a flexible schedule I am able to take a break every day and hang out with my dog during the week. In the evenings I take Stella to a park nearby my house or we go on a walk around the neighborhood. I do have a fenced in yard. My current pup is kennel trained and it’s her safe space, if I work for a longer period than usual I have my own pet nanny or family checks in on my dog if I will be gone for too long. She is never along for more than 4-5 hours at a time. She eats in the morning and in the evening, I do not free feed. Stella has way more toys than any dog could need, and likes watching tv so I leave a nature show on for her when I leave the house. She’s a good girl.

“Oren did an amazing job. We had two drop-ins, and he played ball with our dog. He was so tired when we got home. Sent photos and even brought his cute little girl. Which I am sure our big dog was in heaven with her.”

About: I’m Evelina!! I’m an animal-loving caregiver with a home full of joy. My current pets are one rabbit, two dogs, and two cats! With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I understand exactly what kind of care every pet deserves. From sweet cuddle-bugs, to more unique pets, I provide safe, loving, and reliable care as if they were part of my own family. Hi, I’m Evelina, I’m a college student home for summer break, and I’d love to spend my time doing what I enjoy most, being around animals! I’m happy to provide any specific care your pet may need! Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, playing with your furry friend, or simply being there to give them lots of love and attention. I’ve got it covered. I’m especially experienced with bunnies and smaller animals, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment for your happy little pets. No matter the animal, I treat them like family!

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old. I am not afraid of any dog no matter its size or temperament. I love every dog and I even work at a doggy daycare. I will go with their pace and with what the dog is most comfortable with I’m currently working at a doggy daycare. I am full time there and depending on the days I get off at 1pm or 7pm so I could do early mornings or late afternoons. I would prefer staying at your home because my cats aren’t very friendly with other animals. I would love walking them around town or playing with them in your yard though!

“McKenzie was great. Very knowledgeable about behaviors in dogs and how to tackle them with love and building trust. She took care of accidents in the house and is an amazing communicator. And she’s just a great kid. I’m glad I found you McKenzie!”

About: We have both personal and professional experience taking care of pets. Kama has been working in and with dog/cat kennels for 7+ years now. I (Bruce) have had dogs small and large pretty much my entire life, as well as a few cats here and there. We love animals and want the best care for your furry family members! Kama works from home so taking care of pet's immediate needs won't be a problem and Bruce is a real estate agent which allows for a flexible schedule. We have a fenced-in back yard with a 6-foot tall privacy fence, pet's run free in the home and we have an extra crate if needed.

About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.

“My fur babies loved Molly! Booking her for my next trip away.”
