“Matt did a great job making sure our nervous cats were well cared for while were gone! Given that they have trouble trusting new people I was pleased that they still ate during the day we were out.”
“Mary is amazing! She came over in advance to do a walk through of everything and kept in contact the entire time she was watching our cat. She gave a peace of mind that our cat would be taken care of well. I would definitely recommend Mary for any of your animals. She was so nice and I will definitely be using her anytime I need a sitter.”
“As always, Anna was amazing, caring, informative, and attentive!!! I can't express how much it puts me at ease when I'm away knowing Anna is helping! Thanks again ❤️❤️🐈⬛”
“Kelli was lovely with my cat! As soon as he got out of his carrier when he arrived, he nuzzled against her immediately. She provided updates and was very understanding of how shy and nervous my kitty is, and her communication was very prompt. Thank you again :)”
“Isabella is trustworthy and followed all special care instructions perfectly. I look forward to having Isabella come into our home and provide care for our cat during our next time away.”
“Jennifer is always so amazing with our kids!! Even if its been a year since she last visited, our most skiddish cat still remembers and trusts her. She makes sure to send us plenty of picture, gives updates on every visit, is quick to respond to any messages, and sometimes surprises them with homemade treats. She even kept and eye on my plants to make sure they survived through the blistering heat. Jennifer is a wonderful, kind, and trustworthy person who is always our first pick when we need a sitter!”
About: I have been around animals, exotic and domestic, since I was taken home in the carrier. Animals are my passion and there’s no animal that doesn’t need loved! I am a first responder with no set schedule, so I would like to spend my free time with animals and helping people out if they are needed. I couldn’t think of a better way to help out! I am very flexible on my off days and would be willing to go above and beyond for your pet. I understand some pets require certain things that may be different or difficult, but I would be absolutely willing to work through that! Walking dogs, doing litter boxes, playing fetch, and giving attention are all my specialties!
About: I am a second year zoology major with the intention of further education in animal care. I have cared for the family dogs for just about six years (a combined number of four at this point). I am my family and friends' go to sitter. I am reliable and consistent. I am comfortable with pretty much anything, and have plenty of experience with reactive/aggressive dogs. During the summer I work full-time, and I'm a full-time student during the school year, however I don't have much going on outside of that and have plenty of time for drop-in care throughout the day. I’m also totally okay with overnight stays. Unfortunately, my own dogs don't allow for me to watch dogs within my own home. However, I'm happy to fulfill whatever responsibilities necessary within yours.
“It was my second booking with Riley! My cat crew was well taken care of and she really takes the time to get to know each of them and their personalities and needs. She communicates what’s going on and makes me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“Kelly did an excellent job. My skittish cat warmed up to her right away. Kelly was prompt. She left detailed reports and spent quality time with my cat. She did everything exactly as I asked her and left everything in the home tidy and just as I left it. I could not be happier with the excellent service that Kelly provided and for the good care that she gave my cat. I will definitely hire Kelly again!”
About: I’ve been watching my family pets, since I was 15 I love dogs and cats and would be an amazing fit for drop in and walks. Not to mention I’ve been a vet assistant for about a year now! I working part time and I’m in school as well, but I’ll always make time for your lovely pets. I work about three days a week. I’m very respectful of your house and privacy, I understand how difficult it is to trust strangers in your home, however I feel you can trust me.
“Isabel is kind and easy to work with. She took excellent care of my older dog (parson Russel mix) with drop in visits while we attended a wedding. Quick to respond. Left home in excellent order. Will book with her again. Thank you Isabel!!!”
About: I currently have two cats with extremely different personalities. One is a skittish, persnickety old gal, the other is an outgoing, crazy, orange teenager. I grew up with large dogs, and understand how much love and attention they need. As a pet parent, I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I am prepared to ensure you and your pet are comfortable with me. I work from home, so I can easily fit drop ins and walks into my schedule. I can be flexible with time in order to provide the best care for your pet. I will follow your instructions on how to best care for your pet. Every pet is different, and I am committed to adjust my care accordingly, whether they need more exercise or just some extra love while you’re gone.
About: I've grown up around dogs and have helped raise puppies my entire life. I have learned how to handle them and am incredibly comfortable with animals. I'm always the go to neighbor for dog & house sittings when vacations or long days come around, and I'm always there for a friend or family member in need of a favor. I can assure that your loved pets are in good hands with me! I am currently a Kent State Student so this is a great way for me to work a source of income into my schedule without extensive shifts. Adhering to my schooling and class schedule is a priority for me and this is a great way for me to incorporate both priorities into a manageable schedule. For my own pup at home(who's not really a puppy anymore), I feed her, make sure she takes her medicine, bathe and groom her, and walk her.
“Jessi did an amazing job caring for our animals for almost 2 weeks! She initiated a meet and greet so she could meet our animals and go over instructions verbally (she even took notes ?). I can tell she took wonderful care of our furbabies as the were happy when we returned home and not mad at us, as we have experienced in the past. She accommodated us when we had vehicle trouble and needed to add more visits beyond our original booking end date. She did unexpected tidying up around our house which we viewed as a pleasant surprise!! I will seek Jessi out when I need to book care in the future ?. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets!!”
About: It won’t let me change my profile but i currently do not live with any pets but dogs are my favorite pet ever. i’ve watched many many dogs in my life and it is always the best. I’m more than capable of loving and caring for your pet! I have had 3 dogs in my life and currently have two but i’m away at school. I’m in college currently but i have two dogs back at home. I’m obsessed with them and love them so much. I’ve also managed to train them very well. I’ll do whatever you need to make you feel comfortable with me taking care of your pets.
