“Emma is great! Our pup brisket is pretty reactive, and Emma got to know her and they were able to become friends. She is very responsive and always lets you know if anything comes up. Thanks for taking good care of our pup!”


About: I have been regularly pet sitting for the past three years, and have sat for various friends' pets in the past. I have cared for senior pets and administered medication. I understand that having the "parents" away can be a stressful time for a pet, and I do my part to ensure that the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care. I am an artist/freelance designer and side gig virtuoso (that's a fancy way of saying I make my own schedule). I keep things flexible to adapt to different environments. I believe that animals are healers and that we get back the care that we give to them. I am deeply grateful that I get to have the freedom that this and my other gig/freelance work allows me. I hope that is reflected in my care and respect of the clients' home.

“Nicole is amazing! I felt so at ease while Hunter was with her. She’s very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Definitely look forward to having her visit/ walk with him again!”


About: I've taken care of many foster pets from puppies to seniors and have always had 2 or more dogs in my household. I volunteered for a few years at a local shelter cleaning cages and giving those babes as much love and attention as I could. I hope your pup and I can have a great time! I'm currently not working so I am available for your pup anytime! I'm dedicated to giving them the best care that I can and often! I have a sweet rescue husky of my own who loves to meet new friends. Your pup will enjoy running around on our 3 acres or even a trip to the park! If your pup prefers walks I live in a large suburb with many great routes!

About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I am available to do pet care whenever you need me to if I have some type of notice to do so. Thank you so much. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.

About: I’ve taken care of friends, families and my own pets since I was about 12. Overnight stays, feeding, walking and bathing. I have also two years of experience caring for dogs at the shelter and currently two cats of my own! I’m currently working part time and in college so plenty of time in between classes to pop in or take your pup for a walk! I plan on doing my best to keep your pet safe. Like always accompanying your pet when playing out side and making sure toys, treats and food are approved by the owner!

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals in my house since I was a child and love to take care of my favorite, dogs of course! I am currently a student at Ohio University and only taking one summer class so I will be available a lot of the time during the week. I have an apartment with a lot of grass fields surrounding for dogs to play in, and I will devote my time to them so the do not get lonely.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly treat every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I stay active, love spending time outdoors, and always make sure pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, giving medications, or just making sure your dog gets plenty of playtime, I’ve got it covered! I’m currently working part time but I’m very flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights, overnights, etc. if you need me, I’m there to take care of your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine, gets lots of attention, and feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for large varieties of animals, from cats and dogs to reptiles and guinea pigs, and farm animals too! I’m no specialist, but I’ve got more pets than you can count on your fingers and being there for them is my greatest joy in life! I do work-trade at a goat farm near Sunday Creek and my partner works part-time locally. I spend most of my time with pets or livestock! I am always excited to meet new dogs and cats, and would love to get to know them! When sitting in your home, I am sure to remember every little detail from meet-n-greets so that I can provide the ideal care your baby needs. I am open to and probably at the least a little bit experienced with your pets quirky must-haves, such as crating, food rituals, needing high or low energy, etc. I am always happy to spend time outdoors with dogs, and cats as well if they are harnessed and comfortable! I’ve never met a cat or dog I haven’t instantly fallen in love with!!

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of every kind ever since I was about 8 years old. I also grew up on a farm near cows/horses/chickens. I have a very big heart for animals and it is very rewarding to me working with animals and gaining their trust and their owners trust! I’m currently doing freelance work on the side, so I have a lot of availability! I can do every day as long as I have a notice! I have a cat and a dog. They are both on schedules to eat.

About: I am a detail oriented and intuitive animal lover who feels great joy in the company of any and all four (or less) legged creatures. Growing up, there was always at least one dog in my family home, ranging from mystery mixed breeds all the way up to a Newfoundland. I am very comfortable with pets of all shapes sizes, and enjoy the walks and active time outdoors as much as they do. My most recent dog had a laundry list of allergies which required meticulous attention and quite a bit of work in order to avoid emergency health issues. I became quite calm and comfortable dealing with those situations, and as a result, am confident in taking on the care of pets who require extra or special attention (whether it's diet, health, or behavioral). I also have experience caring for horses, sheep, goats, chickens, geese, ducks, and pigs.
