Pet Sitting in 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: 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.

“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: We have a kid in college now and I needed something to keep me sane. Spending some time with your little ones is just the thing. I run 3-4 days a week and walk a lot the other days. I have a very friendly and high energy Weimaraner, who loves to play with other dogs and kids. My husband is the best frisbee thrower in the world. I work from home, so frequent attention is not a problem. Excessive barking would need to be managed, but not a deal breaker. I love animals and have a mild allergy to cats so I don't bring them to my home but I can be around them as long as I take my Claritin. My schedule is flexible and I make your pet the priority. Working from home allows me to balance time both indoors and outside and allow for play and naps. I do like to prioritize exercise in the morning and at lunch so that I get good naps while I work. My office has a futon and dog bed that allow for me to be with them all day. If the calendar looks like I am not available for your dates, message me anyway. I always try to be flexible and make things work! My dog is perimeter trained in our yard, but we also have 50 ft cables for those not able to be outside without wandering. We have easy furniture and our house has been lived in by many dogs and children. We are right around the corner from our local dog park.

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: 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!

About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.

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

About: My first job growing up was working for my aunts Dog Grooming Business. With that experience, I am able to bathe, trim, nails, and give haircuts to most breeds. I have been watching dogs for family and friends most of my adult life either in Home or at their home. I enjoy being outside taking dogs on walks in nature & letting them sniff all the smells. I currently work from home and I’m the owner of my business so my time is very flexible. I am able to go to homes or watch pets in my home during the day and nights. My home has a large unfenced yard with a woods where we are able to go on walks and explore. I have two dogs in my home and they are part of my family. I do have crates in home if needed, but rarely use them. Both of my dogs are rescues currently so I do like to have a meeting before if a dog will be staying in our home. If I’m watching the pet in your home, I will come over as much as needed and even stay the night if that is necessary.
