House Sitting in Gambier

About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.

“Our 1 year old dog had a lot of fun with Willow, Maggie’s dog, while we were away. We received pictures everyday and she kept us updated on the little things. She’ll definitely be sitting for us again!”

“Our third time having Emily & Mari look after our Sunny boy was a success! They kept us updated when we were out of the country for two weeks with daily photos, and gave us so much peace of mind as always. They are honest and communicative which we always appreciate. Sunny was cozy in his own home with them and his usual self when we arrived to our clean home, which is priceless. Thank you Emily and Mari!”

“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”

“Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!”

“My pups had a great day with Nicole! I had a long day out of town - too long for my dogs to be alone all day. Nicole spent time playing with and loving on them. They’ve been snooza poloza since I got home! Nicole’s interactions with both of my dogs - even anxious Dexter - meant I could spend the day away with confidence because she’s so great with them. Thank you!”

“Ashley was an absolute pleasure to have as our house and dog sitter. She was friendly, respectful, and very easy to communicate with throughout our time away. We came home to an exceptionally clean, well kept house and very happy, well cared for pets, which truly says it all. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. We are absolutely thrilled with the care she provided and would not hesitate to have her back or recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

Heike M.

“Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute. Our dogs (or us) never had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and we came home to happy dogs! I can’t express my gratitude enough and the fact she was able to give me the peace of mind that I needed.”

“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”

About: I’m someone who approaches animal care with genuine warmth, patience, and deep respect for each pet’s unique personality. I believe trust is earned through consistency and attentiveness, so I take the time to understand not just routines, but the little details that make your animal feel safe and happy. Whether it’s sticking closely to feeding schedules, maintaining familiar habits, or offering extra comfort when they seem anxious, I’m committed to providing a steady, reassuring presence. I’m highly accommodating and adapt easily to different needs. Whether that means administering medications, managing special diets, or adjusting my approach for shy, energetic, or senior pets. I aim to make the experience as seamless as possible for both you and your animals, keeping communication open and providing regular updates so you always feel connected and at ease. Above all, I genuinely care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and attention to their emotional well-being. My goal is to create an environment where your pets feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working part time (5-6 hours a day) but i’m able to go remote if needed. I’m in college but on summer break currently! I have my personal animals at home, but i can usually fit any services into my schedule pretty easily :) I will show up when intended and respect your home and all the boundaries set. I will take care of your animals and treat them as if they’re my own.

I will continue the routine your pet is use to in their environment. We will take our time to smell the roses on our walks and time together.

“Easiest part of our week long vacation. I hardly had to think of our pets while we were gone. Came home to happy, healthy pets and a clean house. Couldn't ask for more.”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I also work at a doggy daycare full-time so I am familiar with pet behaviors and knowing how to tend to dogs in ways that they need. I work part-time at a doggy daycare so I am available to housesit dogs and cats as long as they are okay left unattended for 6-8 hours at a time. I am available most weekends as well!

I will also work on basic training techniques to help keep them well mannered throughout their stay with me!

About: I’ve grown up with a variety of pets—from dogs and small animals to fish and hermit crabs—and I’ve spent the last 5+ years providing reliable cat sitting care. I work short shifts at my job so that I am able to be there for your pets as much as needed while you are away. I will use anything provided for the pets, as well as walking, feeding, playing, and overall taking care of your pets and their safety at anytime.

About: I have loved animals for my entire life, and I honestly cannot remember a time when I did not have a pet at home. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how difficult it can be to leave a beloved animal in someone else’s care, and I also understand the trust it requires to welcome someone new into your life and your pets routine. Because of that, I am committed to offering the same patience, honesty, attention, and loving care that I give my own pets. My schedule is flexible, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means walks, drop in visits, or simple companionship. It would be my honor to support people who want their pets to feel safe, cared for, and understood when they are away. I currently work part-time, while finishing my degree, and I wanted to use the rest of my time in a way that feels meaningful and supportive to my community. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and offering my time to help others with their animals feels like a wonderful way to contribute. I truly love animals, and being able to provide dependable care, comfort, and companionship, for pets when their owners our way it fits beautifully into my schedule in my values. I care for my own dog with patients, consistency, and genuine, affection, and I bring that same approach to the services I offer. I pay close attention to routines, comfort, safety, and loving care that help a pet feel secure.

“Folks, Kaitlyn is the absolute bomb. She stayed with our variety-three-pack over the holiday weekend and they all adored her! Kaitlyn is an excellent communicator and sent fantastic photos/videos of our goofballs. 10/10 would book again!”
