About: My family has never not had a dog in the home! I take my pup, Maggie, to the dog park and on hikes constantly (little dirt won’t hurt)! I have also been a volunteer at the HSDC since 2020, caring for scared dogs and walking 80+ ibs of muscle. I love to pet sit and cuddle up on the couch with any animal, truly think that is what calms my soul! I also have experience pet sitting hamsters and chameleons, really any animal is a friend of mine. I’d love to come meet your pet and become besties!! I recently graduated from tOSU and currently am living at home with my mom and pup. I am a caregiver for elderly patients and my schedule is kind of all over the place. Check my calendar for my availability and message me with any questions! I love to give love and make sure every animal gets the care it needs! I ensure that all animals get the exercise they need to thrive and stay entertained/ stimulated. Previously, I have home sat while dog sitting and hamster and chameleon sitting (all at once)! I will always respect your privacy and space, making sure to leave the home in the best/ normal conditions.

About: I've had dogs of my own since I was 10, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Over the years, I've gained experience with all kinds of dogs, from smaller breeds to larger dogs, each with their own personalities, routines, and needs. I've also worked with dogs who require extra care and attention, including epileptic and anxious dogs, which has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and adaptable. I understand that every dog is different, and what works for one might not work for another. Whether a dog is energetic and playful, a little nervous around new people, or needs extra attention due to a health condition, I'm happy to take the time to understand what makes them feel most comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I'd give my own. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away! I'm a freelancer who sets my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm often available for same-day bookings and can accommodate pets who need a little extra attention or more frequent care. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I like to get to know each one and tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether that means going on walks, playing, getting some extra cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company, I want every pet to feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I'll also send updates and photos so you can see how they're doing!

About: I bring years of personal, pet care care experience to the table, meaning I know how to smoothly manage daily routines and adapt to any temperament. I thrive on being outside and stay highly active. If your dog needs to burn off energy, or have extended outdoor play. However, I am just as happy relaxing. I prioritize keeping your pet on their regular schedule to minimize stress, guaranteeing you reliable communication and total peace of mind I recently graduated and currently have a completely flexible schedule, giving me plenty of availability to dedicate to your pets. Whether you need morning walks, midday drop ins, or consistent daily care, I have the time and flexibility to ensure your dog gets all the attention they need When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining a secure, calm, and familiar environment. I strictly follow your house rules and feeding schedules, ensure all doors and backyard gates are securely locked, and provide attentive supervision to keep your dog safe and comfortable at all times.

“I just got Chapman and was nervous how he would do with new people; however, Haleigh did such a good job with him. Her feedback is great and really cares! Thank you!”

About: I have two dogs of my own and take great care of them. Me and my dog have been attacked by dogs, and I was able to control the situation and secure my dog, so I have experience if something were to happen to me and the client. I am a student at Otterbein University and with my class schedule this semester I am able to walk dogs Monda 2pm-5pm, Tuesday 8am-2pm and 5pm-8pm, Wednesday 2pm-8pm, Thursday 5pm-8pm, Friday 2pm-4:30pm and available for most of the weekend excluding after 7pm on Sunday. In my home I make sure my dogs are pet, walked, fed, and loved. I make sure they are healthy and looked after with great care.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have always had a genuine love for pets. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a variety of animals, including cats, ferrets, and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends. I also have a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix of my own, who I’ve cared for and grown up with. Pet care is something I do on the side because I truly enjoy being around animals and building bonds with them. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Since caring for animals is something I genuinely love, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m open and adaptable to different pet care needs and always happy to help however I can! House sitting and overnight stays are available on a case by case basis depending on each pet’s needs, routine, and care requirements. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care while making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by being patient and understanding with their individual personalities and needs. With my own dog and other pets I’ve cared for, I’ve learned that building trust takes time, so I never force interaction. I let pets come to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Creating a calm, loving, and stress free atmosphere is always my priority.

I am available to walk and/or pet sit at your home any day, just reach out! I will treat your pet as my own and follow your care instructions to the best of my ability. I am comfortable with free roaming or crated pets at night, and I believe in building in daily time for structured and unstructured play. This includes going on leashed walks around the neighborhood or nature hike paths, and playing games such as fetch the ball, pet puzzles, and other toys. We will create a care plan together and I will send updates with photos throughout the day.

About: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me.

Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and fostered dogs ever since 8th grade (I am now a going into my third year of college). I’ve volunteered at shelters and have dog-sat over night before! I’ve also been able to train each and every dog I’ve had with basic skills and very cool niche skills I also as of June 2026 work at a vets office/facility as a kennel technician! I am currently on my summer break from college, though I am also working part-time at a vets office as a kennel technician. There I administer dogs and cats, feed them, walk them, give them their daily meds, clean cages, do nail trims, give baths, and more! My work schedule may vary as it’s a part time job but during the summer you can expect a few times a week for up to 3-6 hours per day! If your dogs also get along well with other dogs I can take them to work with me! (Cats unknown) I take out the pets when needed and feed them when it’s time for them to eat and make sure they always have water in their water bowl. I will crate an animal if told to and go on walks with the dog if wanted to as well.

“Anthony was great. Took time to come meet our dog and us prior to walking him and sent us updates and pictures along the way. Would recommend him if you’re in need of someone to look over your pup”

Madalyn B.

“Magdalena was outstanding! She was very attentive and caring with our dog, and she engaged with him in different ways, including walks in the neighborhood and the nearby park and playing with him in the back yard and inside. Our dog gets anxious when we have to leave him at home, but she really helped mitigate his anxiety. We will gladly use her services again!”

About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.
