Dog Sitting Hudson

About: I’ve been fortunate to grow up surrounded by animals, and it’s a privilege I never take for granted. Caring for them and receiving their love in return is one of my life’s greatest joys. Understanding the stress and anxiety of leaving your pet behind, I strive to provide as much peace of mind as possible for my clients. In my time caring for animals, I've encountered every age, personality, and size out there. I am well-versed in balancing care and playtime for multiple animals at once (my record is 4 dogs and 3 cats!) and am experienced with all sizes and temperaments. I have specific experience dealing with rescue dogs, senior dogs, and large dogs, and have been told my patience and compassion for animals is my superpower. Every animal in my care receives the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether your pet is playful or more laid-back, I’m dedicated to building trust and forming meaningful connections. I work part-time and have a ton of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. Let me know your needs and we can schedule your pet’s care! My care for your animals is completely flexible and dependent on the routines and patterns you have set with them. I have vast experience house sitting both with and without pets and am always happy to do little tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants— whatever can help your time away be as carefree as possible!

“This was my first time using Rover & what an amazing experience Katie provided! She’s incredible communicative, sent us cute pictures of our cats at each drop in, and was overall just a very kind & reliable person to work with. Absolutely would recommend Katie and I know we’ll be reaching out to her again in the future to come hang with our cats :)”

“All good. Thanks!”

About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life, whether my own or others'. I'm great at following specific instructions, giving updates, getting along with all kinds of dogs! I'm a student at miami university, so this is a seasonal position for me. I have plenty of time to give to your pets in the summer, winter, and little pockets between. I like spending time outside with pets to get them fresh smells, sticking to their routines, and plenty of cuddles if their alright with it!

About: I’ve had numerous gigs babysitting neighbors pets over the years; from dogs and cats to turtles and fish. I love spending time with all animals and I’m always looking out for the happiness and safety of your animals no matter the size :) Currently I’m a student at The University of Akron which gives me spare time in between classes. I’m usually free during the week and have no problem taking a break in my day to go check on your pets! Growing up with several dogs over the years, I’m very familiar with showing affection and maintaining the needs of pets. We routinely walk our dogs twice a day and make sure to feed morning and night. I love spending time outside with my dogs and getting all their energy out before bedtime.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog and neighbor’s dogs for 14 years, giving me experience with daily routines, long-term responsibility, and attentive care through different life stages. I’m patient, gentle, and take time to get to know each pet’s needs and personality so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Since I recently graduated, my schedule is pretty flexible this summer outside of babysitting a couple days a week. Pet care already feels like a natural part of my routine because I’m used to caring for animals consistently and making time for walks, feeding, attention, and keeping them comfortable. I care for pets by paying attention to their routines and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. With my own dog, that means keeping up with feeding, medication when needed, outside time, playtime, and affection—especially since he’s a senior now. In a client’s home, I’d make sure their pet gets the same attentiveness while following the routines and preferences they’re used to.

“We are beyond happy that we had Emily to care for our 3 dogs while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to care for them and to communicate so that we knew they were in good hands! We highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From feeding, walking, and bathing to playing with them and making sure they feel comfortable and loved, I’m very familiar with the responsibility that comes with pet care. I’ve also helped friends and family members by watching their pets while they were away, including stopping in for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them attention and companionship. Being around animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently work part time, so I have lots of time for your animals! Most days, I can guarantee a bathroom break no more than 6 hours apart. There are a few days it would be 8 hours, but I will be clear with my communication with you! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any specific care preferences closely to help pets feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship based on their personality and energy level. I also keep the home clean and respectful, including cleaning up after pets, refreshing water bowls, and maintaining litter boxes if needed. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“Lauren did great with Che. She was timely with check-ins and sent plenty of pictures. Che was well cared for with Lauren, we will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Denise was a great help for some last minute drop in visits so I could attend a funeral. Received lots of pics and texts. Felt completely comfortable with her taking care of my little guy.”

“Jenna was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She was so kind and patient with them and took awesome care of them while we were out of town. Our dogs tend to be a little nervous but she was so patient and kind with them and they warmed up so quick to her! She is so reliable and it was such a relief to know that my pups were in good hands. Thank you Jenna!! You’re the best!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. When I was younger we had a rescued Great Dane and training him was a difficult season and that taught me a lot. Now we have a Golden Retriever who I’ve gotten to take care of since he was a puppy till now. I also have an exotic pet ( a bunny) who functions almost exactly like a cat! They have similar personalities, health, and hygiene needs. I feel my pets have made me a well rounded and pet educated person:) I currently work morning part time so I have all day after my shop closes to be around your pets! I will make sure my work schedule is updated and fully communicated to you before we finalize plans. I LOVE going on walks so rest assured your pup will be happily walked as much as needed. My evenings are always available to check up and take care of pets for longer periods of time as well. I love being outside and playing with pups. Going on walks, playing with the ball, trips to the park, whatever they are up for I will gladly do! I also adore a good cuddle sesh so even if the pup is feeling a little sleepy, I can work with that too;) I’ve learned that talking to dogs as if they will respond is really good for their brains and to help reassure if they feel anxious. So that is something I’m very comfortable with doing. I’m also very familiar with crate training and crating for bed time and am comfortable doing so if need be:)

About: I have taken care of the pets for family and friends for years, with many over night stays with them. Animals tend to be drawn to me and I can never get enough of the unconditional love that they provide! I am great with requests for the special care of your special furry family members! I work at a school, so we are currently in summer and I am off of work at 2 ever day of the week, but also available at night for any possible over night needs! I will not be taking animals to my home, as I have a roommate who has cats and they do not do well with other animals.

“Keerie was very responsive and flexible when additional days were needed. Glad to have to be able to check in the babies while we were out of town.”

About: I’ve had a variety of pets my whole life; dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, turtles, rats, ferrets, and fish! I’m very comfortable being around animals. I am currently a nurse but enjoy being around these furry creatures so much that I wanted to do this on the side! I promise you your pet is in good hands with me. This will be more a reward for me than a job ❤️ Weekdays after 3 I’m typically always available. Other times throughout the day and weekends will vary, so please just ask! I will do what I can :) I can work with you and your pets needs. Whether they use an automatic feeder or need manually fed, I can provide what is needed.

About: I’ve worked at a busy kennel and have years of experience, caring for dogs of all breeds and energy levels. I specialize in reliable, loving dog walks, and am confident handling any breed, size, and energy levels! Whether your dog loves a slow sniff walk or high energy exercise, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for like the family they are. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby! I currently work from home running my own business (Threaded Impressions - Custom Embroidery), but I can definitely add this to my routine! I am looking to have this as a flexible second source of income! Your pets safety is my top priority on every walk! I use the leash and gear you provide to ensure your dog is comfortable with equipment they already know. I never walk dogs off leash and only walk one household at a time, giving your dog, my full attention! I avoid busy or overly stimulating areas unless request requested, and I follow your care instructions carefully. I treat every dog like my own - with patience, love, and respect.

About: Hi, I'm Taylor! I've been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and horses. I helped train my family dog and taught him a bunch of tricks, which was honestly just as fun for me as it was for him. I know every dog has their own personality, routines, and quirks, and I love getting to know them all. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just having someone to hangout with, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I'm dependable, patient, and will always make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, and love while they're with me! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play your dog! I do bartend, so there are a few nights a week I work from 6-11:30pm. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of love. I am very respectful of my client's home and will make sure everything stays clean, safe, and exactly how you left it. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, and any special needs so you feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away.

About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)

“We had the best experience with Maria! She watched our cat for us for 1 week while we were out of town & it could not have gone any better. She dropped by twice a day, gave our cat plenty of love & affection, & sent us lots of pics & updates while we were away which we appreciated so much. Our cat can be very shy but she warmed up to Maria almost instantly & we knew she was in the best care while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Maria again & would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friend :)”
