About: I’ve grew up on a horse farm where my parents also breed and raised Rottweilers growing up! I have been around animals of all sizes from before I can remember. I also have years of experience taking care of all types and sizes of animals due to this, from tiny teacup chihuahuas to gentle giants! Given plenty of baths, special feedings and followed strict schedules! I recently lost my 9 year old great dane and am missing a companion around dearly. Looking for some cool pups to make friends with who are in need of some company to! I currently am a stay at home momma myself! I tend to just mosey around the house and take walks to the park right next door with the kiddos nowadays. I have complete open availability, with lots of space in and out of my home to accommodate for your fur baby. I enjoy animals company more than people most days so if your fur baby needs a friend, let get together! I have a secure large fenced in yard. Although i am still happy to take them on daily walks. Also i love rewarding them with some of their favorite treats, so please bring theirs! Crates are welcome if needed, not necessarily however, I plan to be very attentive. With over night stays if they are normally crated, I do ask you bring theirs so they can be comfortable. My home is open and clean, they are more than welcome to play in or the yard as well. Bring their favorite toys/ ropes or balls so we can enjoy all our time in or outside the house.

“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.”

“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!”

About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

“Thank you taking such good care of Buddy! I was worried since he has always stayed with a friend but it looks like he took to you.”

About: Hello! I am Erica! A bit about me, I am in love with nature and animals! Ever since childhood ive been a wild hair, barefoot, truly in-toon with animals free spirit grounded in nature! I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! Since birth we've always had our family pet. Animals have always been able to trust me quickly, so much my friends and family have joked about my connection with animals like Snow White is in the movie! Haha They truly ground me! Over the years, I’ve pet-sat in client homes and farms, worked in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary technician gaining hands-on experience in animal health, wellness, and comfort. I’ve also worked in boarding care, looking after hundreds of pets and making sure they felt safe, loved, and happy while their families were away. I've dedicated my time to volunteering at animal shelters. My passion extends to animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to the more unique and unexpected like reptiles, birds, fish, sugar gliders, and farm animals! My greatest joy in life is giving them the love, patience, snuggles and care they deserve! If you are interested in my care and wish to see additional references or have any questions please don't hesitate to send me a message! I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I also work part-time as a server and bartender, which gives me the flexibility to work around my schedule. That means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pet making sure they get the love, play, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to care for your pets in my own home, as we’re in the process of putting up a fence in our backyard. Once that’s complete, I’ll be able to offer even more options for pet care. In the meantime, I’m happy to come to your home to dog/cat/pet sit, walk, or care for any pet who needs love and attention.

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: 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: Dogs are the best! They have been a big part of my life since I was a child. I worked at a doggy hotel for several years while in college and have experience working with breeds ranging from terriers to Great Danes. I would love to take care of your dog while you are away. I work from home! My schedule allows me be around your pet all day and provide it with the attention and care it needs and deserves! I have a big yard that provides plenty of room for your dog to stretch it’s legs. We have a super friendly German Shepherd that loves the mail lady and playing with other furry friends.

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.

“Took great care of my two kitties, including one with feline CKD. Everything was clean and the cats were happy when we got home ☺️”

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’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

We have a big backyard for them to run around I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have a lot of free time! I’m free on weekends as well. Any time of day! I have two fur babies to keep yours company. Mine are always playing or running around outside so lots of exercise in this house. We also take a lot of walks

Days can be scheduled off if needed. Thank you I will care for your pet as you would in your home. We do allow pets on our furniture and in our bed. Thank you

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 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).
