“Kelly is amazing! She stayed with our pup (who is recovering from surgery) while we went on vacation, and gave her the best care and more! She is very communicative and shared great photos while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone, especially if you have a “needy” dog or if you’re a worry-wart dog mom like me :)”
“Laura was great with our brand new puppy while we were out for the day! I loved seeing the pictures and updates she sent, and knowing that he was in good hands.”
“Our first time using Rover and Kim and we are pleased. She kept in touch with us and updated us with pics. The boys did well with her. Will be repeat customers.”
“Josie accepted our very last-minute request to house sit our dog, which was such relief. She was really good with our dog and did a great job! Our dog, who is a bit shy of strangers at first, was comfortable with her right away. Josie sent us updates (including photos) daily, which were so nice to receive. She was also a very considerate “house guest”, even cleaning up after our dog who sheds daily and always drags dead leaves and stuff into the house on his furry feet. We highly recommend Josie and will not hesitate to request her services again. Thank you, Josie!”
“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”
About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. For drop in visits and sitting I will be making sure they get food and water whilst their owners are gone. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom All and all making sure they are happy and healthy while I am there and before I leave. When I walk dogs I let them take their time to go to the bathroom maybe even play a little.
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.
“Sarah was awesome house/dog-sitting for us! She sent me photos of our dogs consistently & left our house cleaner than it was before we left! I highly recommend using Sarah for your pet care!”
“Amber was so great with Finn again. She sent pics and videos of Finn so I knew what they had done that day and it is evident from the pictures that he adores her! She was also flexible with my weird schedule which was much appreciated, as flight changes can be super stressful. We highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Nikki was awesome with our two dogs! She went above and beyond and re-arranged her schedule to accommodate ours! I would highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, we will definitely be reaching out to her again! 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We had a great experience working with Kaitlyn to watch our 2yr old Lab, Gus, for a day. Gus is a rescue with some behavior quirks and she was very good about helping us further his training exercises while we were gone. In the process of setting up the dog-sit, she was timely with communication and reliable with scheduling. We are looking forward to working with her again later this month on a longer stay!”
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 have taken care of my friends dogs and absolutely love taking care of animals. Enjoy having them around the house. I am very friendly and my dog Poppy gets along with others. I am currently working full-time through the school year. I have my summers off Starting in June. So will have more time in the summer and fall. Will have some in the winter. I have a fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play. I also can crate if needed as well. My back yard is big so plenty of room to run.
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 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: First of all, dogs are my absolute passion and believe they are not just pets, but truly are family! I have two (quirky) rescue dogs of my own, Joey and Coco. Our family has fostered dogs for a local rescue, so I am comfortable with dogs that may have unique quirks. I am passionate about ensuring pets are cared for in the way THEY need. If that's a nice long walk, great! If that's a game of intense fetch, awesome! Maybe it's just cuddles on the couch...also great! I would love to be able to spend time with your furry friend when you are not able, because again, they are family and deserve top notch care. I hope to meet you and your furry fam soon! Right now, my evenings are open (6:15-9 pm) and my weekends are completely open when I am in town! I am definitely flexible on weekends. I am a homebody! We live in Elida after living in Cincinnati for 10 years! I am not currently accepting dogs to stay at our home due to anxiety in my own pups with new pups in their space. However, I will ensure your pup is safe and well cared for in your own home for our visits! I, myself, have an escape artist, so outdoor play is always highly supervised, as is the opening and closing of doors. Rest assured your pup will be safe and well cared for in my care!
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’ve been around any type of animal since I’ve remember. I’ll make sure your little fur balls are well taken care of under me and everything will be set. Super understanding and easy to get along with and I love to make bondings with them! I’m currently in college and go to class in the morning and get out around 12:30. After class ill be over and ready to take care of your fur babies. For my personal pets I make sure they are spoiled and are happy and in a clean area they have a big yard to run around and play in. For your fur balls I’d make sure to take them on a decently long walk on a good day or car rides if that’s what your dog likes! They will be spoiled with treats if they’re good for me and if I’m doing a dog sit at home I’ll make sure to play with them and make sure they don’t feel left out.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.
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.

“I've known Landon since we were both in the 7th grade, and he has always been such a genuine, caring person. Over the years, he has done an outstanding job of taking care of his dog Frankie and helping my family and I with our 3, whether that be coming over to feed them or wearing them out playing. He has a deep love for animals, and I think he would be a good match for any household.”

Chloe W.
“I highly recommend Chloe as an animal caregiver. Chloe demonstrates remarkable animal husbandry and is very trustworthy.. Her love for animals shines through and animals are always are drawn to her. She worked in a vet clinic for a few years and loved every animal that walked through the door. She has pet sat for us several times and I never worry about my pet when they are in her care.”
Catherine L.
“Where do I begin!! Cat just adopted her first dog & I would have never have guessed. She acts like a veteran to it. So attentive & loving. She cares for her puppy just like a human. I have her watch my dog and I love that she sends me updates & gives him the exercise he needs. She is very energetic so it’s not a problem for her to get out and go on a walk! (Or two, or three) Highly recommend if you want a energy filled, and amazing communicator dog sitter / walker !”
Juliana M.
“Juliana is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever met. She is friendly, kind, responsible, and well versed in animal care. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week and have no doubt that she would make an amazing pet caregiver.”
Gabrielle G.
“Gabrielle is an amazing young lady who has always had a deep love for animals. She has 2 dogs of her own who she desperately misses while she’s away at school. You couldn’t ask for anyone better to treat your pets like family. You won’t be disappointed in this decision.”
