We appreciate Carol and her reliable caregiving of our two Australian Shepherds. She gave them walks, used their training commands and gave them belly rubs. We will ask Carol to help us in the future.

About: I have been around pets my whole life. Recently, I have been caring for friends' and coworkers' pets, and it has been so rewarding for me as a pet lover! Your pet's love takes care of me as much as I hope to take care of them! I am currently between jobs, so my availability is practically limitless. I am happy to work around your schedule to provide the best possible care for your pet! I understand how much trust you need to have in a stranger coming into your home and taking part in your pet's routine. I am very respectful of the homes I enter, and with the pets I interact with, as that is what I'd want someone to do for me.

About: I’ve owned three cats and three goldendoodles over the course of my life. As an active person, I love playtime and walking my pets. I am currently in PA school and would love the time away from studying for a fun brain break! I would love to care for your lovable pet like I know how and I will make it a priority to give them the care they deserve. I understand it can be nerve wracking leaving your pet alone but I guarantee I will love them and become their best friend while you’re away ☺️ I’m currently in school until 3-4 PM weekdays but I have some flexibility. I currently care for my two kitties by playing with them daily, feeding, changing their litter, and lots of cuddles! I want to help you out as much as I can with your pet! I am open to dog walks, playtime, and ensuring they get fed and let out enough. I value your pet and want to give them the best care they deserve because I know how much they mean to you.

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I am a full time student at BGSU, and living on campus. I can do check ins during the weekdays, and I am able to stay overnight if needed at anytime. On the weekends I should be available at anytime and stay for however long is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child. Beyond my own pets, I worked as an animal caretaker and cared for pets of varying ages and abilities. I’ve even given medicine to a baby chameleon! I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I will be on break until August. I have my own sweet dog that loves other dogs, but if yours needs walked alone, that’s okay too. I have always had pets of all kinds and I worked at petsmart as the animal caretaker, so I have experience with traditional pets as well as reptiles, birds, fish, etc.

Ian is the best! Our girls loved him from first sight. We got great communication from him the entire time we were gone. The pictures he sent us captured their personalities which reinforced that we chose the best sitter for them! We were so happy to find Ian and will definitely be using him again. I highly recommend him!

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was little - from dogs and cats to reptiles and small pets. For almost a year now, I've been a volunteer with Midwest Pet Refuge, working hands-on with cats and a variety of small animals. I've fostered cats for the past 8 months, including newborn kittens who needed bottle-feeding from just a day old. I also have experience with rats, bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles, and dogs, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm patient, gentle, and genuinely love getting to know each animal as an individual. When I'm caring for your pets, they'll be treated like family - safe, loved, and cared for with experience you can trust. Pet care is an important part of my week, and I make sure to set aside dedicated time when I can be fully present and attentive with your animals. Dedicated Pet‑Care Days: - Sundays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Mondays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Tuesdays: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Thursdays: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM These are the days when I can focus entirely on your pets — keeping them comfortable, following their routines, and giving them the same gentle, family‑style care I give my own animals. If you need Pet-Care on different days or times, message me and I'll see if I can fit you in. I volunteer at Midwest Pet Refuge 3 days a week. Those days are dedicated to rescue work, so I typically don’t take on additional pet‑sitting during those times. Between my volunteer work, home life, and my scheduled pet‑sitting days, animals are at the heart of my weekly routine. The structure helps me stay reliable, consistent, and fully available for the pets in my care. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest. I treat every animal like family — following their routines, giving them attention the way they like it, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with shy or sensitive pets, and I always make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away.

About: I've had pets my whole life and make it my goal to make animals feel loved. I have 2 cats of my own currently but grew up taking care of big dogs. I have plenty of free time and most of the time you'll find me laying in bed with my cats. My pets are my whole world and I work hard to make them feel loved. I provide them with love, food and water, bathroom needs, and entertainment. When I'm somewhere new, you'll find me looking for the nearest animal to pet.

About: I have always love all kinds of animals since I was little. Im hoping to get my some soon when I get my own place. A lot of people always told me that I'm an animal whisper because a lot of animals really trust me more than others. Owners have told me how amazing it is to see their fur babies trust me and let them pet them when they normally don't let anyone pet them. I am currently looking for a part time job right now. As I am a Caregiver working through the weekdays. I am sure we can talk more about the days and times that work for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your amazing animal! I have a fenced yard, and two cats that will make sure your animals have companionship! In this house we spoil our animals and your animals equally with lots of treats, cuddles, and playtime!

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. I previously cared for an elderly woman’s boxer for two years, and I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. I’m currently in college, so my availability varies depending on my class schedule, but when I’m with your pet, they’ll receive my full attention and care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents. I love routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure. Your pet will receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection while you’re away. I’m attentive to individual needs and happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own 🤍🐾 I'm a stay at home mom so I have tons of availability. I'm enrolled in school but it's online so I'll have all the time for your babies! I live in an apartment so I don't have a fenced in yard, but we have PLENTY of yard to burn energy in. I love going for walks and playing catch with the fur babies so they will have plenty of outside time. If they're couch potatoes I allow animals on all furniture and I love the cuddles they give. Anything you want, will be done!
