Dog Sitting Galena

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs as well as living with both in my adult years. I do also have experience pet/house sitting in the past. I currently do not have a pet at the moment as my cat passed about a year ago. I am looking forward to be able to meet and get to play with cats and dogs! I do work full-time during the week but am available on the weekends for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I will open up availability for walking or drop-in visits during the evenings throughout the week. I will be able to watch your pets in your home as well as do drop-in visits in your home. This will include doing walks or playing.

About: I've been pet-sitting for five years for family and neighbors, and loved every minute of it! I worked at a pet store for multiple years and am very knowledgeable in everything pet related. If you need help with amphibians, reptiles, or small animals, I'm also knowledgeable and able to pet-sit them! I am currently a full-time college student but will always have time for your pets! I will be busy with classes for roughly three hours a day and working during the evening on most days. Weekends I do not have classes but will still have work. Please message me for any questions about scheduling around my work and school. I am unable to watch any pets in my home, however I am always open to taking care of any pets somewhere else. I will be able to give lots of love and walks to pets who need it!

“Noah took great care of the pups while we were gone! Thank you!”

About: Growing up with rescues and shelter dogs, ranging from 20-100lbs, I’ve always had a love for dogs. No matter what experience or pasts they have come from, I was always quick to form a bond with each pet my family and I have. Whether you are looking for someone to care for a senior dog needing a bit more patience and attention to medical needs, or an active and alert, playtime companion…you’ve found it with me! I have cared for family pets needing a special diet, set schedule and daily walks—to friends, coworkers and outside referrals for overnight stays or check in’s, and my favorite- walks! I believe that exercise is the best medicine and not to worry if your dog has certain triggers or lacks some leash manners. I can tailor walks to what your dog needs and enjoys. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I currently work in the office on a hybrid schedule 3x per week, so I have some flexibility during the week with times I can check in, and evenings are easy to schedule. My weekends are almost always available! In my home, I have a Pit/husky mix. However over the 8 years of being my own dog parent, I have hosted German shepards, Belgian malinois, hounds, and other pitbull mixes. I know how to administer medications and apply topical ointments if needed. I also understand if your pet(s) need certain accommodations or requests like avoiding other dogs on walks, and certain things he or she likes or doesn’t like.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 5 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. I currently work full time in downtown Delaware from 8:00-4:30, give or take the commute to and from your home. However, my weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.

“Brittany is truly a doll! From our meet and greet to the latest drop in, she’s been fantastic. My pup can’t wait to spend more time with her!”

About: I’ve been a proud dog and cat mom for more than 40 years. I spent three decades in the corporate world — often working long hours or traveling for business. Leaving my fur kids behind was always the hardest part, especially when it came to finding someone I could truly trust to love and care for them the way I would. ​ That experience inspired me to offer pet care built on trust, compassion, and genuine love for animals. Knowing that you can head out for the day (or that much-needed vacation) with total peace of mind — that’s what makes this work so rewarding. ​ I grew up in southwestern Ohio, where I began pet sitting in my neighborhood at the age of 13. My lifelong love of animals has led me to volunteer with local humane societies and rescue groups, and I've also been a foster mom. Our most recent "foster fail" is Pippa, a sassy one-year-old ginger kitty. Our fur family also includes two tabby cats, Bo and Cledus, who we adopted as kittens four years ago), and two rowdy pups who are also rescues, Wally (age 12) and Milo (age 2), bothShih Tzu mixes. I'm retired from my corporate marketing career and work a part-time job a few days a week. That leaves plenty of time for drop-in visits or to take your fur baby on a walk. I'm in the neighborhood, which means I'm nearby when you need unexpected help. I'm happy to provide loving care when you can't be there. I have a senior dog who has some medical issues that require extra attention. I also have a young pup who demands lots of attention, including daily walks. I'm experienced in the full spectrum of dog care. My dogs are leash-trained and crate trained. I also have 3 cats, ranging from 1 to 4 years and have experience brushing, feeding, hairball treating, litter box cleaning and playing.

About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

About: I've pet sit for many friends and family including walking, feeding, playing, and more! I care for all animals and love giving snuggles as well as lots of pets! I work part time at the outlet mall a few days a week and get out around 8:30 but I am mostly free around that! I have one crazy doberman at home and have pet sit shy dogs as well as very playful! I care for all of them equally and will cater to any needs your baby might need.

“Regan was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby. The meet and greet went well, and we were able to discuss all of our dog's quirks. She listened and adapted to his need. She sent plenty of pictures and provided detailed updates. We could clearly see how happy he was under her care. She will certainly be added to our go-to dog sitters list!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience managing a diverse, multi-species household. I currently own and care for a 6-year-old beagle, a 10-year-old senior (and orange) cat, four guinea pigs, and two rescue rabbits. My daily life involves balancing a high-energy hound with the specialized care required for senior cats and small animals. Having managed this "mini-zoo" solo on numerous occasions, I am highly organized, observant of subtle health or behavioral changes, and strictly dedicated to following established routines. Whether your pet is a social pup or a shy rescue bunny, I pride myself on providing patient, attentive care that respects their boundaries and keeps them happy in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is highly flexible! As a college student taking online summer courses with only a very limited part-time retail job (1-2 shifts a week), I spend the vast majority of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. As a Type A student, I approach pet care with a "safety-first" mindset. I am CPR and Heimlich certified, ensuring I can stay calm and act effectively in an emergency. My 3.6 GPA reflects my discipline; I follow your care instructions and medication schedules to the letter, treating your house rules as my top priority. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and alarm systems to keep your home and pets secure. I also offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to wonder about your pet's well-being. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it and your pets more relaxed than when you left.

“Mirelsa is amazing! She has been watching my dog for over a year now and I appreciate everything she has done for my dog and me so much! She truly cares about him and his well being. She gives me great updates throughout the day and sends lots of pictures. She quickly responds to messages and requests! She is flexible. I always have peace of mind knowing she is taking great care of my dog while I am at work! I would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Khalia took care of our two cats while we were away, and we are very happy to have left our little guys in her care. She sent us pictures each time she went to fed/take care of them, and helped out with one of the cats' medication. It was great to know/feel they were in good hands!”

“Skylar is so great with our pup. She’s patient, playful and kind. Love her!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a little kid, so very comfortable with pets! I am a nurse currently at OSU so wanting to give back to some dogs near me! Very big on animal rights as well :) With my normal week schedule being different almost every week it can be hard to find certain days! However, every week I’m open 4 days with my nursing schedule! I am more than open to do different things if needed, but really looking at walking, feeding, letting them outside, playing, and just entertaining in general! Not really looking to ever stay overnight anywhere though!

“Megan was great! She took wonderful care of my kitties and sent me lots of cute pictures which put my mind at ease being away. Thank you so much!!”

“Mariah was so sweet and took very good care of my dog when she dropped in for a couple visits!”

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and spending time with pets is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I provide reliable feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, medications, and special instructions so your pet receives the same care they’re used to. I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention and care. Starting in June, I’ll be interning Monday–Friday from 8:45 AM to 3:15 PM, but I’m still available for drop-ins on evenings, and overnight care. I’m also very open on weekends for boarding, walks, and extended stays, and I always make time to prioritize each pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment in your home where pets feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. I follow all routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and crate preferences if needed. I’m attentive and patient, and I make sure pets are always supervised and secure. I treat every pet like my own and focus on building trust so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
