About: I have cared for multiple kinds of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc. I have worked at two veterinary clinics as well as a pet store. I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I currently do not have a job at the moment but I am actively searching. So as of now, my time is completely free to care for your pets! My services will take place at my client's home. Depending on if there are any specific directions, I will care for your pets properly and do what you request.

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets—both my own and those of happy clients. I currently work in a veterinary clinic and am studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, so you can trust that your furry friends are in knowledgeable and loving hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or snuggles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8–6, but I’m available for pet care after work and on my days off. I always receive my schedule a month in advance, so I can plan and let you know exactly when I’m free. Some weeks I work more than two days, but I make sure to fit pet care around my shifts. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and handle any special needs like medications. I also keep the space tidy and send updates so you know they’re happy and safe.

About: I enjoy spending time with cats and dogs and have been happy to help many family members, friends and clients with their beloved furry friends. I’ve tended to special needs animals as well, giving medicines, special dietary needs and physical needs. Whether you have cats or dogs, or both, they will be loved and cared for while you’re away. I recently returned from a year overseas and am currently looking for a career but would love to help with your pets in the meantime! I have a very open schedule to come to your home but am unable to have pets in my home. I have extensive experience in housesitting and pet sitting, I am clean and trustworthy and will care for your pets and your home while you’re away.

“Karissa watched our 3 cats for two weeks while we were on vacation, and she did an amazing job! We definitely hope she’s available in the future!”

About: Hello! My name is Amber. I’m currently available to pet sit in Lima and surrounding areas! Dogs are one of my great loves in life. I previously worked at a no-kill shelter in Columbus, Ohio where I worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am comfortable with many temperaments—I haven’t yet met an anxious dog who didn’t warm up to me quickly—but if your dog has any aggression issues, I am not comfortable accepting the request. If needed, I can administer oral medication; I do not have experience with needles. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, who adapts quickly to new surroundings. I am generally pretty quiet, and I always respect my surroundings. Just like I treat your pets like my own, the same goes for your home. I always make sure it is clean and well kept. By trusting me with the care of your home and your pets, you are giving me the opportunity to do what I love, so there is no question that I will go above and beyond what is expected of me. If you are interested in discussing an agreement further or wish to see additional references, please contact me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am insured by Pet Sitters Associates. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to do drop-ins, walks, and overnight sits. I try to accommodate schedule requests as best I can! I follow any verbal or written instructions I have been provided. I often send updates to pet owners. I’m a big fan of sending selfies with pets!

About: I have been a dog lover for much of my life! Growing up we had cats and smaller breed dogs. I begged my parents to allow me to watch our neighbors' dogs when they left town, and I was the go-to caretaker of our family's pets. As an adult, I have cared for 3 dogs of my own and currently we have 2 larger breed dogs. We adopted all of our dogs as puppies so I understand the adorable puppy moments, as well as the moments where puppies can be extra work. I've owned dogs into their senior years and how there can be limitation considerations and potentially and care required for health needs that come with age. I'm currently working part-time and manage a small business with my husband. Both are relatively flexible, especially if planned more than 1 week prior. Generally afternoons (after 1pm) are flexible. With advance planning, I can be available earlier in the day too. I can visit your home to care for your pets. If you have dogs and want me to provide exercise (walk or backyard play session), I can do so based on your preference. If you would like, I can also check on things inside such as water/food, or any other requested services (that I am able to provide).

About: I've been a fur mom for 15 years with my own dogs. Grew up always having a dog in the family. Your pets would receive the same TLC I give my dogs. I can accommodate individual care (food, medication) if more than one pet. I currently have 3 dogs. Ages 14, 4 and 2. I have both male and female. I can't wait to care for and "spoil" your fur baby/babies! I currently work full time Monday thru Thursday. I can pet sit in the evenings on those days. I am open to pet sit Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays all day. I will provide the detailed care requested for your pet in your home. I have a large country yard for my dogs (and their fur friends) to run and play when they come to visit at my house.
