About: Hello! My name is Amber. I’m currently available to pet sit in Lima and surrounding areas! Dogs are one of my great loves in life. I previously worked at a no-kill shelter in Columbus, Ohio where I worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am comfortable with many temperaments—I haven’t yet met an anxious dog who didn’t warm up to me quickly—but if your dog has any aggression issues, I am not comfortable accepting the request. If needed, I can administer oral medication; I do not have experience with needles. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, who adapts quickly to new surroundings. I am generally pretty quiet, and I always respect my surroundings. Just like I treat your pets like my own, the same goes for your home. I always make sure it is clean and well kept. By trusting me with the care of your home and your pets, you are giving me the opportunity to do what I love, so there is no question that I will go above and beyond what is expected of me. If you are interested in discussing an agreement further or wish to see additional references, please contact me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am insured by Pet Sitters Associates. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to do drop-ins, walks, and overnight sits. I try to accommodate schedule requests as best I can! I follow any verbal or written instructions I have been provided. I often send updates to pet owners. I’m a big fan of sending selfies with pets!

About: Hi! I'm Kristoff, an experienced and passionate pet-sitter based in Marion. I may not be the chattiest person in the room—but that’s exactly why you can trust I’ll focus on what matters most: taking care of your furry family like they’re my own. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10—walking, feeding, playing, and even doing basic training. Friends and family often rely on me to care for shy or energetic pets, and I pride myself on building trust quickly and gently. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets in your home. I’m happy to accommodate same-day requests, holiday visits, or anything last-minute. I’ll treat your pet like family—respecting your home, following your routines, and providing thoughtful care with plenty of updates. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or an active playmate, I’m here to help. My schedule is very flexible and changes often due to multiple part-time jobs and landlord responsibilities. However, I’m typically available every day, and I rarely work more than one job per day. This means I can often accommodate short-notice and same-day bookings, including holidays. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or even a quick ride to urgent care, I do my best to be there when you need me. Just reach out—I’ll do everything I can to make it work. I currently care for pets in their homes, as I’m in the process of buying my own. I have one dog of my own—a pit bull/shepherd mix—who is wonderful with people but not other dogs, so I do not offer boarding at this time. I take a calm, patient approach to shy or anxious pets—giving them space, earning their trust, and going at their pace. For high-energy pets, I offer play, walks, and activities to help release that energy in healthy ways. While I don’t currently own crates or pet-specific equipment, I’m open to meeting client needs as they arise. I treat every pet like they’re family, and I aim to make them feel safe, seen, and understood.

About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.

About: Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young girl, and they’ve always held a special place in my heart. As the lifelong primary caregiver for my own pets, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy, healthy, and loved. Animals tend to naturally gravitate toward me, and I truly feel that working with them is what I’m meant to do. I’m passionate, reliable, and committed to making sure every dog I care for receives the same attention and affection I give my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, a cuddle session, or just a calm and attentive presence—I’m here to help. I always follow your instructions carefully and prioritize your dog’s health, safety, and comfort above all else. I’d love to get to know you and your furry companion. Let’s connect! It is my everyday schedule, for all 4 of my animals. They are a huge part of my daily life, as i work from home so i am always here with them to provide care and attention. I have a large yard, along with 4 furry companions to keep your babies company, or if need be i have no issue crating or giving separate attention and boundaries to any of the pets.

About: I started taking care of family and friends dogs from 12 years old. I can bathe, walk, play with all ages. I have sat for senior dogs as well. I work from home so can come to your home and stay to take care of your fur babies and keep them company. I strive to keep your babies on the same routine as they are accustomed to. I will be keeping the same routine as you have set for your babies, to ensure their lives are disrupted as little as possible and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I've been around dogs for 30 years. I've helped rehab different animals and believe in a holistic approach. Our fur babies are special and deserve the best. I have experience working with special needs dogs and love senior dogs. I work full at the YMCA with a flexible schedule and would love to take care of your pets! I am available 7 days a week. I can crate your dog if needed. I will give them walks and potty breaks as needed. I know all animals are different and must be treated with care.

About: I'm currently attaining my certification towards my dog training. I'm working towards building my clientele for upcoming boarding/training center with my son who is also a certified dog trainer. I have many years experience with giant breeds (I have 2 great danes at the moment). I love the little ones also! I'll walk your dog, bathe, clip nails, even teach some tricks if you'd like! I have a fairly flexible schedule. Available almost every day of the week! I do work 3rd shift so I have all day free to spend adequate time with your pet. I'm always with pets while outside and they are leashed unless there is a fenced in area. And would never be left outside alone! Safety for the dogs and myself are of the utmost concern.
