“We had a fantastic experience with Kelly while she watched our dog, Bean, overnight. She is an excellent sitter—attentive, kind, and truly loves dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. When we returned home, Bean was happy and well taken care of. We will be booking with her again!”


“Laura did an amazing job caring for our two dogs in our home for a week! She went above and beyond playing with them and even helping take care of the house while we were away!”


“Such a wonderful experience, he helped us out last minute & dog/house sat for us. He sent so many pics of the dogs & they seemed so happy with him & he left the house looking great! Highly recommend him! Thankyou!! 🙂”



“Amber was so great with Finn again. She sent pics and videos of Finn so I knew what they had done that day and it is evident from the pictures that he adores her! She was also flexible with my weird schedule which was much appreciated, as flight changes can be super stressful. We highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“Bella watched Oscar at my house from Friday evening until Sunday morning. She was great with him, sent pictures and texts to update me and answered all questions I had. My neighbors even gave her a 5 Star review based on observations and speaking with her. This was my first time having someone watch him other than relatives and I was a bit nervous both for Oscar, Bella and myself for how it was going to go. I found all those nerves unnecessary as things turned out great! I would definitely request Bella again and recommend her to others.”

Absolutely love working with large dogs. I love taking dogs to the dog park as well! I have experience raising six different puppies. I also have experience with fear biting dogs.

I am very much an animal person over all though and love animals over all. I provide lots of attention and love for any animals in mt car as well! Please consider if you want your dog to be in excellent care! I am currently available full time to provide any pet care services. I am happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet.

“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”


“Josie accepted our very last-minute request to house sit our dog, which was such relief. She was really good with our dog and did a great job! Our dog, who is a bit shy of strangers at first, was comfortable with her right away. Josie sent us updates (including photos) daily, which were so nice to receive. She was also a very considerate “house guest”, even cleaning up after our dog who sheds daily and always drags dead leaves and stuff into the house on his furry feet. We highly recommend Josie and will not hesitate to request her services again. Thank you, Josie!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover! From small dogs, to medium and large dogs — I’ve had all! I’ve also had cats and kittens my entire life! I am responsible, kind-hearted, and eager to meet new animals! I’ve worked with puppies and kittens all the way through senior dogs and cats who might need extra care or medication. I am currently a full-time college student in my last 2 semesters of college! I do a lot of my work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am eager to help care for your fur baby in any way they need! If they’re a puppy and need time to play, I totally understand! If they’re an older dog who needs more care or to be given medication, I have also worked with that! Whatever works best for you and your dog is what I’m here to do!

About: Ever since I was a little girl I knew working with animals was what I wanted to do. I started with family members pets, then moved on to friends and friends of friends now I have lots of experience. I grew up on a farm, raising farm animals, participating in 4h, and racing horses. I’ve owned almost every small pet you could have while growing up. I take my care with animals extremely serious and I take pride in the exceptional care I can proved for animals. Pets have a huge soft spot in my heart and there is nothing more I’d rather do in life. I have experience with reptiles as well as administering medications. I have lots of reviews and references and a page on Facebook called “Happy Paws” you can feel free to check out as well! I’m a full time pet sitter, therefore I have open availability. I work a lot of odd hours so early mornings or late nights doesn’t bother me! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pets company. I don’t do crates unless requested by the owner. I’m home with your pet 24/7 so no need to worry about that. I have lots of toys and treats and I always separate during feeding time. I have a separate area your pet can be alone if they are nervous and need a calm environment!

About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. For drop in visits and sitting I will be making sure they get food and water whilst their owners are gone. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom All and all making sure they are happy and healthy while I am there and before I leave. When I walk dogs I let them take their time to go to the bathroom maybe even play a little.

“Once again, Zoe went above and beyond! We came home to happy pets and total peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing our fur babies are in the hands of someone so responsible, loving, and reliable. The updates and photos throughout the stay were a bonus, and we could tell our pets were truly comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely—thank you for treating our home and pets like your own!”


About: I have had dogs all my life and I have pet sit for many of family members for years. I also worked in a kennel for two summers. I also go to school for pre-vet so I work with animals all the time. I am a college student at the university so mornings are hard with school but afternoons are open. I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after 2pm. I don’t have a pet at the moment so yours would not have to worry. I can easily crate if needed be and we have a huge yard for them to run around.

About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.

About: I always had either a cat or dog when i was growing up. I’ve always taken really good care of my pets. I’ve always loved them like children. I currently work full time at a school but I am free most weekends and depending on where a client is located, i could stop by after work for potty breaks. When in a clients home i will respect their wishes and routine for their fur babies. I will provide the utmost care to their pets and treat them like my own.

About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.
