“Rachel does a fantastic job with Barkley. I come home and he’s happy and also very tired which is a huge plus😂. He’s also already been improving on his walks with less pulling.”
“Madison was spectacular with my kitties! Madison provided daily summaries of their visit, as well as daily photos of the kitties. I even had some unexpected packages come in, and Madison brought them inside for me. Definitely recommend Madison for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I currently have a family dog that I take on all sorts of adventures. I work from home, and I have the flexibility to take extended breaks to do early morning visits. I’m available almost any time of day to fit your schedule. Go on your summer vacation feeling relaxed and secure about your pets’ care. I love going for walks and jogs with my dog, and would love to tire yours out too! I’ll ensure they get plenty of exercise and the attention they need while you’re away.
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!

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!
