“So thankful Laura was willing to brave the snowy roads to come check on our kitties while we were out of town!! She was able to medicate one of our cats without issue and spent lots of quality time with them. She even offered to come back the next day if we were delayed on our trip home due to weather conditions! Loved the photo updates - really put us at ease while we were away. Definitely will be reaching out to her again for future visits!”


“She is AMAZING! My pups LOVE HER! And so do I! She is so interactive with my dogs, leaves detailed notes each and every day with tells me she actually cares about my boys. Warm my heart, she has been a welcomed addition to the family! I would definitely recommend Madison to anyone looking for a dog sitter or someone to pop in on your pups. She's great!”


“Kelly did a fantastic job looking after our cat for the weekend. I really appreciated her detailed updates and all the photos she sent as well. The house was well taken care of when we returned too.”



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’ve had dogs around the house for as long as I could remember, I love meeting new furry friends and can’t wait to meet yours! I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and giving medicine. I currently have a part-time job and go to school, that takes up around 8 hours of my day when I do have work, I have a break in between the two leaving me with plenty of time to come hangout with your pups and also all night after class. I am dedicated to keeping your pet on its schedule, I would like to make him/her be as comfortable as possible also while making you feel at ease keeping you updated and letting you know how it is going.

About: I've personally had three dogs in my home while growing up. I have had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and frogs as well. I currently have four cats in my care and have taken care of other people's dogs. I am currently in school, gaining my certifications for pet boarding. I am looking to take care of animals in the morning and occasional weekends. I am open to caring for your animals in their home, I am not able to house animals at my own house or stay overnight at the moment.

About: I am not new to animal care or taking care of animals. I have veterinary technician experience. I have 2 dogs and a huge fenced in back yard. I do work, but i am able to work in the morning or early evening. My dogs love to play ball, chase each other, go for walks, and car rides. They are crate trained and sleep there at night. We have a huge fenced in backyard that my dogs live to run, wrestle and tear up the grass in. I cannot guarantee your pet won't have accidental grass stains.

About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.

About: I've been a pet owner since I was 10 years old. I have been the go-to pet sitter for anyone from friends to family to family friends. I see pets as family members and will treat them as such. I am a full-time mom looking for some extra money to provide money for my babies. my babies would also be involved if able to be in pet visits and walks. I respect the clients home and the pets safe while providing whatever care is needed to be given. I will keep the home safe and clean.

About: I’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them. At one point in time I took care of 7 new born kittens after they were thrown out and abandoned from their mother, I used to live on a farm and took care of farm animals from sun up till sun down, and now I have so much free time I don’t know what to do with it haha

About: Apart from caring for my own animals, I have experience doing volunteer work doing critter care on a variety of animals. I am a current student at Malone University, studying Zoo Biology where I am furthering my future in a career with animals! I am comfortable with dogs and cats! I’m available anytime throughout the week and I also have weekend availability as well. I can work around the schedule you need for your pets and if things come up, I communicate right away. Not only will I treat your house with the utmost respect but I will care for your pet as if it is my own. If anything comes up, I will instantly communicate with you to sort out the problem as I want what’s best for your pet too.

About: With 25+ years of experience with pets and livestock I have had the privilege of having a house full of dogs. With two of my own currently I have had the opportunity to care for many dogs over the years and understand how important their care is when your away for an extended period of time. Knowing the absence of parents can be a stressful time for animals I offer comfort and care to ease the stresses of change in routine. My daily routine includes early mornings, outdoor activities, working full time from home and have the flexibility to host a pet or do drop-ins during the work day. At this time I am perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Accounting online and spend most of my free time around home. I understand the comfort and safety of animals is the upmost priority when caring for my own as well as others. Being sure they are on the property or secured when on walks as well as keeping them away from other animals and people that they might not be familiar with to avoid any conflict.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats, I have two dogs of my own and three cats. I love all pets and have no issues with size or personality! I am currently unemployed and just wanting to work from home. I am free any days Monday - Friday, during any time of those days. My dogs are free ranged but I do go out with them every time they go outside, however your house rules are is how I take care of your pet(s)!

She LOVES animals and has a special way with them. Donkeys are very trusting animals and if they do not trust you, or if you put off bad vibes they react to those actions. OUR DONKEYS LOVE HER! I am happy to recommend Mikaela to anyone who would like her to be a caregiver for their animals.”
