About: Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. Choosing care for your animal(s) can be a difficult decision. You want them to be in the very best hands while you're away. It's my goal to provide just that! My name is Ashley and I am an animal lover. My own pet sitter calls my house a little zoo. I have four cats, two frogs, and fish! I foster cats and kittens for two local rescues in my free time and get my puppy love through Rover. I am a nursing student and have a flexible schedule. I am located in the McCandless area, near North Park--a fantastic location for walking dogs! Whether you’re looking for someone to offer drop-in visits to check in on your animals while you’re away or would prefer that someone stay with them over night, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to meet your furry (or non-furry!) family member(s) and be their best friend while you’re away. I am currently a nursing student and have a flexible schedule! I am available for drop-ins, walks, or home stays to provide company for your pet(s)! I am able to offer pet care in my client's homes. This enables me to maintain existing routines for your pet(s) in an environment they are already familiar with and comfortable in.

“This is the second time I've asked him to take care of my cat. He is a reliable person. He kept me informed of any changes to visiting times. I was happy to know that my shy cat had finally met him!”

About: As a Star Sitter, I have a proven track record of providing a calm, safe, and fun home environment with a high level of attention and care. Because I work from home, your dog receives consistent supervision, multiple daily walks, and plenty of engagement throughout the day. We love hosting dogs - your pup will be treated like part of the family 💕 I intentionally host one dog at a time (or dogs from the same household) to maintain a safe, low-stress environment and provide individualized care. The dogs in my photos are past guests and are not present during your dog’s stay. Before You Book: Important Requirements To ensure a great experience for everyone, I only accept dogs who are: • Fully house trained • Friendly with humans (no history of aggression) • Able to safely pass other dogs on walks • Comfortable in a new environment (no destructive behavior or significant anxiety) • Able to sleep through the night If your dog has anxiety, reactivity, or behavioral challenges, please be transparent so I can determine if this is the right fit. New Clients • Meet & greet required • First-time bookings: a one night trial stay is strongly recommended before longer stays I am home based and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.

“Gina was incredible and I’m glad I found her. It’s hard finding someone you trust to take care of your pets like you would, and Gina did just that. She was very responsive, checked in if she had questions and provided great updates for my kitties. My cats can be a little complicated with their food, and medication, and Gina handled everything with ease and my kitties loved her. I will definitely use her again!”

“Taylor's pet care service was exceptional! Daily reports were much appreciated - and she did much more than we had asked or expected. We could not have been more pleased with her services - and definitely plan to request them again if she continues to provide them. Would highly recommend Taylor!”

About: I’ve been taking care of family friend’s cats and dogs for years. Dogs ranging from elderly miniature schnauzer doodles to big wild golden retreiver puppies. I’ll take great care of your pets and home. When I’m away from my animals while I’m at school I like to get my fill of puppy/kitty time through pet sitting. I’m currently taking classes at the College of Wooster- I am a junior education and history major. This makes me available for drop ins and walks most of the day. I will do anything that is instructed for your animals. For walks I’m willing to walk them up to 2 miles. If I dog sit while you are away I would only need to leave them for classes which would never be more than 2 hours at a time.

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I have also managed dogs with severe anxiety and certain health issues. I am a college student so until May I am limited to weekends. After May, I will be available workdays and weekends during the day and at night. I have confident skills in understanding dog and cat language from past experiences. I am also great at handling and crating dogs at their own comfort level.

“Brooke followed all of our instructions and provided detailed updates and pictures from each of her visits. We really appreciated her looking after our cats while we were out of town!”

About: Having grown up with animals, I've developed a deep love and understanding for both cats and dogs. I have experience with all sorts of animals but especially love caring for cats and dogs! I have two cats from the shelter, and a senior dog who requires a little extra TLC. I'm experienced in giving medicine, senior care, walking dogs, and everything else! I'm committed to making sure your furry friends are happy and healthy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I commute between Wexford and my college classes at Carlow University. I'm seeking a flexible job that allows me to balance my studies with my passion for working with animals. I am available on weekends for dogs. I am also available all week for “drop in” cat sitting. I always put the safety and happiness of pets first when I'm in a client's home and my own home. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can always be on time and give them the attention they need. Plus, I have my own car, so getting there is never an issue.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs in the family and have had roommates with pets in college. Friends and family have had me watch and take care of their pets. I currently work hybrid, Tu-Th in office in Cranberry, so I'll have plenty of time over the weekends starting Friday and into Monday! I can always swing by after work as well to do checkups. I live in an apartment complex community with a quiet and clean apartment, no pets currently, and a dog park nearby that I can always visit.

About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs since early childhood and I have years of experience caring for them. From daily routines to playtime and cuddles, I'm attentive, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I'm happy to work around your needs to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and affection, and treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect.

About: I have owned animals since I was born. I have 2 years of dog walking experience from a private small business in Tampa florida. During my time there I looked after many different kinds of animals, dogs, cats, birds, even lizards! I also am trained in giving medicine and looking after elderly animals as well. My experience dog walking taught me so much valuable information that I will be able to use on your sweet fur babies! I truly love being around animals and they will be in the best care with me! Im a recent graduate from the university of Tampa moving home for the summer who is looking to spend some time with some sweet pets. I have an almost completely open schedule so I can be available for you and your fur babies whenever you need! I have 2 years of dog walking experience and care for pets by making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the exercise and attention they need. I follow each client’s instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, routines, medications, or specific behaviors. I’m comfortable with different dog breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I always try to make pets feel happy, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have had experience pet-sitting multiple different types of dogs from puppies to large. I spent 4 years as a dog walker at an animal shelter, so I believe that I am highly capable of handling a plethora of personalities. My favorite dogs are rottweilers and labradoodles! I work full-time, so I am available before 8:30 and after 5 on Monday through Thursday. I work virtually Friday, so I have more flexibility. My weekends are open when not traveling My apartment has a dog park and long walking trail that connects to it, so I am happy to do lots of enrichment time and walking. I am used to be around pets 24/7 from my clingy childhood dogs, so I can keep a very watchful eye in a home if needed!

About: From a young age, I’ve had a deep love for dogs, and as an adult pet parent, I truly understand how stressful it can be to leave your companion in someone else’s care. It’s natural to feel anxious about whether your pet will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. My goal is to exceed your expectations by providing attentive, dependable, and loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I’m an avid hiker who loves being outdoors—whether that means long walks, neighborhood strolls, or playtime with your pup. I have experience with home stays for senior dogs, caring for cats, and training and supporting young puppies, including reinforcing routines and basic training. Please note: due to a cat allergy, I am only able to accept cats for drop-in visits. I’m passionate, professional, and genuinely excited to meet you and your dog. I look forward to providing care you can feel confident about. I am home full time so I am able to give your pup all the attention it needs! I have my own dog who gets cuddled, played with, and walked daily. I would provide for your dog whether it is a drop- in visit, walk, or house sitting. I promise he/she will get the attention it deserves. I am used to letting dogs out every2-4 hours if needed. I also love making trips to the local dog park should you feel comfortable with that! Let me know all of your pets favorite things and preferences! Do they prefer a walk where they can sniff to their heart's content, or a hike on the trail ? Do they love playing tug or belly rubs, or both ? I truly provide tailored care to your pet.
