“Our cat was well and as happy as he gets when his people returned from being away. Jacob did seem to forget some of the details of our instructions, such as refilling the second upstairs water dish. Still, our cat did not go without any essentials, and Jacob's photo updates were reassuring. Thank you, Jacob!”
“Kristin was great! It was such a relief to have a reliable person taking care of our cats after our former sitter left the area. She came twice a day, was really fast with message replies, took good care of the kitties, sent cute pics, and left zero mess (rinsed and put all cans in recycling, disposed of all cat litter bags...). She even informed us of a baby-bird issue in the garage and said she'd keep her eyes on them. We will hire her whenever we need a sitter and she's available, which I hope is every time for a long time!”
“Laura is amazing with our doggie! She gives her lots of love while we are out of town, and treats her as if she was her own dog. We will definitely keep scheduling with her. You will like her with your doggies too!”
“Charlotte was able to give us several days of drop-in visits for our sometimes curmudgeonly cat on short notice, even though neither she nor we had much Rover experience. I really appreciated her open communication about that. I also appreciated her coming (on time!) for our meet and greet and how responsive she was to texts. She let us know when our cat was sick, and she cleaned up after him - the house and litterbox were tidy and our cat was content when we returned home from our trip. I would request her service again. My only negative was that one time she was late or forgot to send a photo during the visit, which made me nervous the visit had not occurred; however, when I texted to check in, she was responsive and had been here. We also had some minor confusion about whether our cat was allowed outside between visits, and small details I wish I’d left better instructions about, but on the whole I feel she really cared about doing a great job to care for our pet and to communicate with us. I hope in the future she is available to visit or housesit for both of our pets.”
About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!
“Kayla has been truly awesome with watching my cats! She is diligent in sending daily Rover Cards with photos, and letting me know how things are going! I trust her completely with my pets!”
About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I am available to do pet care whenever you need me to if I have some type of notice to do so. Thank you so much. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.
“Made our kitty girls very happy over thanksgiving and gave them their own feast. Made me feel very comfortable seeing the state of their litter and food while I was away ❤️”
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as bunnies and cats. I am also familiar with pet anxiety and protective/territorial dogs. My friends and family have also had me pet-sit for them multiple times. I currently have a part-time job that is closed on Sundays and Mondays. I usually work from around 12 PM to 6 PM at the latest and am available the rest of the day. I make sure to keep non-toys out of reach and I make sure to inspect the yard before letting pets outside. I also follow the owners’ instructions very closely. Updates are provided to owners regularly.
“Lena stayed at my house keeping my cats company for a week. She seemed to keep my cats very happy without me and left the house exactly how I left. Commutation was good and easy. I will hire again next time I need it.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for my family and friends since I was about 5 or 6 years old. Mainly a dog person but I’m also cat friendly. Pretty much a born and raised Ace Ventura and Dr. Doolittle. Currently in school for Environmental Biology to become a wildlife, fish and game warden. I’m free anytime to walk or drop in Monday thru Friday 10am to 6pm and Weekends Noon to 4pm. When I was back home I’d always keep the bowls filled with fresh water and food. Made sure the doggo’s were getting plenty of play time outdoors and would take them on walks around the neighborhood, sometimes even on a little jog to keep them exercised.
About: I have taken care of many different pets for as long as I can remember! My love for caring for animals started when I was 12 years old and taking care of my own five ferrets. It wasn't long after that when both of my parents had started bragging about my consistency and dedication when it came to taking care of pets to my family and their friends. From that point on I have gotten calls from my aunts, uncles, and family friends to care for their furry friends while away on vacations and business trips. This has made me confident enough to want to help other families take care of their animals when needed too! :) I currently go to college at Ohio University and would only be available to work on my school breaks starting every August-May. However, my schedule over the summer is pretty open and I would love to spend as much time needed with your fur babies! With any instructions given I am sure to not skip one step! I will give your pet all the attention and cuddles necessary. Due to me having a dog who doesn't get along with new dogs, I would care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home. I am also willing to stay overnight if needed when I am available to do so.
“Emma provided fantastic care for my 2 cats! She was flexible, communication was great, and I loved all the pictures she sent me of my girls. I’ve already booked my next reservation with her! My girls are usually shy but it made me so happy and at ease that they were comfortable playing and exploring with Emma here.”
About: Experienced with all sizes and types of animals, able to do large and small pets, love cats and pups and I can’t wait to see your furry friend! 🩷 While I’m keeping your pup company they will be my top priority, playing, snuggling and pretty much anything they need will be my number one concern during the time I’m with them 🩷 Your animal with have 100% safety with me and I can assure you I won’t do anything to compromise the safety of your fluffy kids
About: Hi, I'm Annie. I am an experienced pet-sitter that easily connects and understands your pets. I bring a calm, patient, and empathetic approach when meeting a new animal. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be for animals to not only be missing their people, but interacting with a new person as well. As the go-to pet-sitter among friends and family, I have cared for around 20 dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. Starting in 2022, I volunteered as a dog-sitter and service-dog handler with 4PAWS for Ability. At 4PAWS, I gained 2 years of experience sticking to strict routines, following instructions carefully, and learning how to read dog body language. Additionally, I volunteer at animal shelters and have interned at the Columbus Zoo as an enrichment intern, so I understand the importance of enrichment and entertainment for animals. I stay calm, move at your pet's pace, and take my time when earning their trust. I'd love to meet your pet and provide the kind of care that they need to feel safe and loved. I can provide care, companionship, exercise, play-time, etc. for your pet during any time of the day! I am a self-employed graphic designer with a flexible schedule. I work 15 hours part-time for Lakeshore Learning Center as well. The hours I work are very flexible. I also work digitally so, as well as caring for high-energy pups, I am able to provide companionship to lower energy or older pups company while I work remotely. When watching your pet in your home, you can trust me to respect and care for your pet with in your space responsibly. I have been trusted to house-sit for friends and family for 8 years (>35 times). I truly respect the safety and care your home, belongings, and pet. I am excellent at following directions, communicating clearly, being punctual, and making sure that your pets come first while you are away. I treat every animal and home with the same respect, care, and attention that I would want for my own pets.
