Ella was fantastic! She went above and beyond what I asked of her! I felt so much better on vacation knowing my cats could stay in the comfort of their own home.

About: I love animals of all kinds! At home, I have one dog, Stryker, one cat, Kimber, and two pet rats, Top and Henry. I have also previously had an aquarium with some tetra fish :) I am currently studying zoology, so I am always around animals of all shapes and sizes! From my schooling and previous work, I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs, small birds, cats, small mammals (ferrets, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits), goats, chicken, reptile, and some fish and amphibian experience. I also have experience with pets who have strict diets, medication, take live food, and other dietary issues. I am a full time student at Otterbein University, with a part time job on campus. I am available on weekends and most week nights. I am flexible and can work with you, so that we can find the perfect schedule for your furry friend! I am a reliable, responsible and respectful individual. My mission is to make your pet feel as loved by me as they do by you, while respecting your space, your rules and most importantly your pet!

This was my first time ever using a petsitter. I was worried that with Lily needing a pill crushed up and added to her food that it was going to be hard to find someone. Chloe was amazing. I gave her all the instructions, showed her where everything was and she showed up on time for each meal. We take weekend trips here and there and I'm hoping this will be the start of a great connection for Lily and Mistletoe.

About: I have been helping out family, friends and neighbors for years. Whether the animals come to my place or I go to theirs. My sister and I had 2 Yorkie mixes that were 15 and 17 years old with special diets/needs. So following food plans/exercises is important to me. I’ve cared for dogs that have ranged all sizes (German shepherd, wheaten terrier, Yorkie mixed, bully mix, and a few more) and ages. I have a full time job and I’m looking for something parttime. I work Monday through Friday from 6a-230p so I would be able to assist anytime after I get off. I would be available anytime on the weekends. I do live with my older sister, her name is Courtney. She would be helping me out some days (I have a picture of her in my profile). We do have a fenced in yard, which during the spring/summer time we will keep the back door open to allow the dogs to go out as much as they would like. The surrounding dogs in our suburb area are friendly but I always still treat it with caution. Dogs are allowed on the couch/bed (if this is something you are okay with).

About: I am a dedicated dog enthusiast with more than 13 years of hands-on experience caring for and raising dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to senior care. While my greatest experience has been with Great Danes, I have also spent years raising and caring for Pit Bull Terriers, developing a strong understanding of the unique needs, personalities, and characteristics of both breeds. My experience includes puppy development and socialization, basic obedience training, nutrition and wellness management, daily exercise routines, preventative care, and supporting dogs through adulthood and their senior years. I have cared for aging dogs with mobility challenges, administered medications when needed, and provided the patience, comfort, and attention necessary to maintain their quality of life as they age. Living and working with Great Danes has given me extensive knowledge of giant-breed care, while my experience with Pit Bull Terriers has strengthened my appreciation for intelligent, loyal, and energetic companions. Beyond these breeds, I have a genuine love for dogs of all kinds and enjoy learning about the unique traits and needs that make every breed special. Choosing me to care for your dog also offers the unique benefit of two welcoming locations. In Lancaster, Ohio, dogs enjoy a comfortable, home-based environment where they can relax and receive personalized attention as part of the family. In Pataskala, Ohio, dogs have access to 15 acres of open space for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored to ensure safety. During their stay in Pataskala, dogs can relax alongside me in a cozy, home-like camper, providing a comfortable and secure environment that helps them feel at ease while away from home. My approach to canine care is rooted in compassion, consistency, and respect for each dog's individual personality. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult, or a beloved senior, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment where dogs can thrive and feel like valued members of the family. Your dog's comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. ABOUT ME I'm a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. Because I am home full-time, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and night. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never feel like they're being left alone for long periods. I have three children who have grown up around large-breed dogs their entire lives, including Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers. They understand how to interact respectfully with dogs, are well-mannered around dogs they don't know, and have learned the importance of giving each dog the space and attention they need to feel comfortable and secure. One of the unique benefits of choosing me is the flexibility of two care locations, allowing you to select the environment that best suits your dog's personality and needs: 📍 Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home setting where your dog can enjoy a comfortable family environment, regular routines, and plenty of one-on-one attention. 📍 Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful rural property with 15 acres of open land for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor time is carefully supervised. Dogs stay with me in a cozy camper that serves as a comfortable, home-like space during their visit. Whether your dog prefers the familiarity of a traditional home environment or the adventure of wide-open spaces, the choice is yours. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your dog is treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾💕 When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. As a stay-at-home mom, I am available throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of affection. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches, allowing me to maintain their routine and give them the attention they deserve. With more than 13 years of experience raising and caring for Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers from puppyhood through their senior years, I understand that every dog has unique needs. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior who requires extra patience and care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I strive to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions, and any special requests you provide. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure when away from home, and I work hard to create a calm, positive environment where they can relax and thrive. I offer two care settings, allowing you to choose the environment that best fits your dog's personality: Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home environment ideal for dogs who enjoy a familiar family atmosphere, indoor comfort, and plenty of companionship. Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful property with 15 acres of open space for supervised walks, exploration, and enrichment. While the land is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored. Dogs stay with me in a comfortable, home-like camper, ensuring they always have a safe and cozy place to rest. My three children have been raised around large-breed dogs their entire lives and understand how to respectfully interact with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. They help create a warm, family-oriented environment while respecting each dog's individual comfort level and boundaries. Most importantly, I believe every dog deserves individualized care. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax, I take the time to learn their personality and preferences so they can enjoy a stress-free stay while you're away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention I would give my own.

About: Hello, my name is Deanna! I have 14 years of experience in the animal field. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My husband works outside the home during the week. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Everyone is friendly and up to date on vaccines. My husband and I have been fostering dogs and kittens for years. Our pack is very sociable and welcoming of new pets. On a typical day, I bring my laptop outside and let our pups explore our fenced in yard. We have an escape artist.. so our yard is completely secured and they are never left unattended. We have a plethora of toys, puzzles, and comfy beds around the house. Your pet is welcome to whatever they would like. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your loved one! I currently work 40 hours a week from my home. I can always bring my laptop with me if I’m house sitting. My schedule is very flexible! I have a fenced in back yard and 3 very dog/cat friendly dogs of my own. I can crate your pet if needed. Or they can stay in the spare bedroom if we run an errand. I will not leave your pet unattended with my pets. Safety first!

About: I have owned dogs for 13 years and I have loved them all. Dogs bring me happiness and I love the idea of helping people who share that same happiness. I have taken care of three dogs at one time and so I am very comfortable with being around groups of dogs. I do have a full time job, but evenings I would be extremely flexible along with being available all day through out Saturday and Sunday. I have experience with all sizes of dogs so I am willing to work with any breed. I simply enjoy being around dogs. They are amazing animals and I can't think of a better way to spend my extra time then with these amazing animals that come in all shapes and sizes.

This was my second time having Nicole as a sitter. My cats now look forward to seeing her which I love, and obviously is a sign she takes good care of them during the drop in visits. She always takes lots of pictures and let me know if there’s anything I should be aware of. She even got my maintenance team to replace the batteries in my smoke detector because she was worried about the noise being stressful for my cats. Truly a great sitter!
