About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 19+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

About: I have had a dog most of my adult life and my husband, Andrew has always had cats. We currently have a 13 year old cat, Who is extremely friendly to people and stays away from dogs. We just recently moved to Poland from Cincinnati to be closer to family. We are entrusted to watch our family’s pets when they are out of town and love and adore all guest pets in our home as if they were another part of our family. I can provide basic training I have learned over the years and can administer meds. I have a 12 year old child full-time and Andrew has a 15 and 17 year old that are with us half of the time and are very patient and gentle towards animals but your pup MUST get along with children. All of our kids have extreme affection, gentleness and patience towards all animals and live their lives at home revolving around the animals. Because of the children we do not allow Pitt bulls, Chows or Dalmatian breeds in the home. All pets must be completely secure around children or unfortunately we don’t think your loved one will be comfortable in our home. If your pup ends up showing any type of aggression towards the children, they will need to be picked up or run the risk of being crated with minimal time out of the crate, until your return. Your pet must be up to date on vaccines and must be of at least 2 years of age. My career is in IT and I work from home full-time so I will be home all day to keep your pet company. Andrew works remote as a Communications Director for a local church and also shuffles being an online student so there is almost always someone home to be with your loved one! Your dog will enjoy daily walks, or a run if they can run on a leash with me. I live in a quiet neighborhood next to the Poland Forest with a sidewalk about 10-20 ft from the road with little car traffic. We may take some adventures through the woods, as well. Depending on the stay length and dirt accumulation I will also give your pups baths to keep them smelling fresh! We spend a lot of time at home and will be able to provide your pet plenty of attention! This also allows us to be flexible with your schedule. I do not have a fenced in yard so your pet will be supervised when using the restroom. Your pet will get plenty of playtime with our kids and will have a couch, dog bed or our bed to sleep on. Whichever he/she prefers.

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: I grew up with an a verity of animals. I love watching and learning their different personality and just studying there behavior. Like our Human children,they all have their special individual personalities that need nurtured. I love giving animal baby updates, I'm aware of how feels to be away for long periods. I have experience with reptiles as well. I have plenty of time;. I want to do something enjoyable , productive and help other pet parents to live full lives. while furr babies live theirs. I also happy update as often as wanted I have solar cameras in my back yard, for monitoring, as well as availability to separate should a dog need that. My house has cat trees and pet furniture. My human furniture is also pet friendly. We love our cuddles and we love our space to be comfy. There is a doggy door, large fenced back yard available to pets. They have access to it while i am home. When no one is home, they are either kenneled or just put in one of the bedrooms while we are away from the house which would not be very often

I'm here to help walk your dog, do checks in for any pet and house sitting. I don't like to think of your animal as a pet.

About: I've been taking care of my pets personally for close to 20 years. I pet sit for multiple friends while they are out of town or when they work off schedules like midnights.

Safety and trust: I frequently work with children through the local PTA and I teach children how to play board games at a yearly gaming convention. Through this work, I have to pass regular background checks.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: Hello! My name is Chelsea and I have lived a life with love for all animals in my heart very fruitfully. I personally have two large breed dogs of my own, and one hamster. I’m not shy when it comes to types, ages, or sizes of animals.

I work with rescue agencies as well as fostering agencies to ensure stable homes, donated needs are being met, and daily play time is available. I own a large home with a fenced in backyard. I have experience with special needs animals as well. All drop off pets MUST be okay with other dogs. No exceptions!! If you need last minute overnight care you MUST provide the crate, food, and other necessary items. I cannot host puppies without their crates in my home. Please make sure your pets are up to date on their vaccines as well as their preventative medicines! Prices have been adjusted due to rising gas prices.
