“Jeanne is fantastic! We had never had to leave Bella as she is my comfort dog. Jeanne understood it was just as hard on Bella as it was for me. I could not have asked for a better caregiver as Jeanne was during my absence. She is definitely now a part of our family.”
“Decided to try Samm because of repeated requests. I was hesitant to let someone stay in our home while we were gone. But when I met Sam she made us feel very comfortable and our dogs loved her. We are glad we made a new friend with Samm. She stayed here for 3 nights. Very pleasant to work with and very accommodating. Gave us daily up dates with photos. Highly recommend and we will use her again. Thanks Samm!!”
“Paige is extremely reliable and she consistently offers excellent care to our beloved pets... Our pets love to be around her and because of this, we can be away from home without worrying about them for a few days... Thankful to have met her through this service...”
About: I’ve loved animals(and caring for them) since i was a child. And now, as a veterinary student, animals are an even bigger part of my life! As a veterinary student on summer break, i have some flexibility. I can care for your furry friends at whatever time is needed for you! I will care for your pet in any way that you’d like, ensuring a stress-free and comfortable environment for them. They will also receive lots of love and affection from me!
About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.
About: Hello my name is Kerri, I have grown up with animals most of my life, I've dealt with animals in many different sizes, I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cats. I do have experience walking dogs, bathing them, as well as bathing cats. I volunteer at Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County, I have been volunteering here for past few months. I'm currently getting my certification for Interior Designer, I'm normally working on a flexible schedule. I don't take any pets on Sundays. I will make sure that any pet in my care is getting their daily needs, also if there is any certain task that needs to be done like dishes or small things that can make your day easier. So that you can enjoy your time with your pets when you get home.
“Kayla was great! She house sat for me and my cat for a few days. She hung out with him even if all he wanted to do was sleep on her lap. When she came for a meet and greet I learned she had to move to another state right around the time of my house sit, but despite that she didn't cancel and didn't even consider cancelling, even though it was probably an inconvenience for her to keep the job. I always look for last minute cancellations on reviews so to me the fact that she kept the job, even though it was a small one and probably inconvenient for her, speaks volumes about her reliability. She was even nice enough to give me a direct contact phone number for my peace of mind, I had an experience where I tried to call the Rover phone number and it didn't go thru so I always ask for real phone numbers. She was also great with my cat and really sweet to him even though he woke her up at 2am! Thanks so much kayla”
About: I have had dogs my whole life plus have dog sat for neighbors and so quite a few friends. I have taken the dogs on walks, played with them inside and outside, fed them, and given them so much lovens! I have watched a variety of dogs from small to big!

The weekends I am free any time! I wont be able to have any pets at my house as i’m currently living with my in laws. However, I would be able to stay or watch them at yours!

About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 8. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to start professionally pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors and I did just that! While they are on vacation or at work, they have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and cuddle with their furry friends and I hope you will allow me to do the same for you! I am currently working part-time in the mornings, however, will always make time for your fur babies! During the day, I walk and feed my own animals and can do the same for you! Whatever care you need for your animals, I can do (besides giving medicine through needles and running)! If you need me to walk them a mile each morning I can do it! I can follow any schedule you give me if your furry friend follows one and can crate them if needed! I love sleeping with cats and dogs so that won’t be a problem either if they like sleeping with you! If your dog is a cuddler, no worries, cuddles are my favorite thing!
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away. I’m currently a full-time college student at Ohio University, so taking care of pets is more of a weekend or holiday gig for me! I could fit a daily walk in to my schedule too! However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.
“Olivia is truly everything you could hope for in a dog sitter. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly communicative and thoughtful. She always checks in, clearly coordinates her schedule, and lets me know exactly when she’ll be with my pup which is so reassuring. Her constant communication gives me complete peace of mind, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her. I can tell he feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for every time he’s with Olivia. I’m so grateful to have found someone this reliable, attentive, and kind. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust.”
“Janet takes great care of my furbabies on drop in visits and house sitting! We know they are in good hands with Janet and we are perfectly comfortable and able to relax when we are away from home either at work or on a weekend trip. We know our babies are cared for as if they are her own, and we know that when we get home, they will be calm and happy. Our babies love Janet and we do too!”

“Luna helped us out in a tight situation! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and she pulled through for us. She was willing to come without meeting our pets before the weekend she came to sit. Luna was responsible and I felt our pets were safe with her. I would definitely ask her to come again.”

My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!

Plus, I can help train puppies, using positive reinforcement to foster good behavior and obedience. With my specialized skills, I offer a higher standard of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I will make time for your furry baby as long as I have enough notice!
