Chase and Rocky absolutely had a blast! Both dogs enjoyed all the play and cuddles. On time every time and provided so many lovely photos. Made things stress free for us being away knowing that they were being taken care of well!

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.

About: I provide a peaceful, attentive home where your dog won’t just be ‘watched’, they’ll be loved, played with, and cared for like one of my own. I am a self-employed and independent contractor for real estate and a nonprofit so my schedule for work can be made around taking care of your pets. I am home many hours of the day and most evenings. I have a very large apartment which is more like a condominium. I have over 1000 ft.² of open living in kitchen area where dogs can run and play. I also have a large lot of over an acre behind my place where I can walk the dogs on a leash to keep them safe so they don’t run off but plenty of space for us to walk and get exercise. I also Own a secondary property that has a fenced in yard area where I can take them to run off leash and play additionally.

About: My career goal is to work with animals, currently employed at a Humane Society. My friends and family have always trust me with their pets. They are my true happiness! :) I have a set work schedule, so there will not be rushed walks or playtime! If there is an issue with scheduling, I am always willing to request off from work. I will be able to give your pets much attention. I can read behaviors, I do not rush or make pets feel uncomfortable in their own environment. I want them to feel safe and give them the attention and love they deserve!

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. At the moment, I have 5 cats and 3 dogs, all very different from each other. I go and volunteer my time at my local Humane Society often, loving, brushing, and socializing them. I’ve dog sat family’s and neighbors’s dogs before and never had any issues. I am also good with big dogs, as I’ve had Newfoundlands in the past and currently have a Burmese Mountain dog now. I also have experience with young and elderly pets, I currently have some very old cats. I typically work 6pm-10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sometimes Saturdays. I prefer working in the morning, as I typically get up early to start my day. I will do whatever is needed for animals to be happy. I have both cats and dogs, some who play and some who don’t, so I just do whatever is needed to make the animals feel comfortable.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks where they can stretch their legs and get lots of good sniffs! I am retired full time, and I am really looking forward to walking dogs part time. I travel occasionally, so I appreciate requests in advance notice. Dog safety and a comfort is a top priority for me. I’ve lived with big dogs my whole life and I’m use to controlling them on a leash.

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 am currently working full time at Aldi. My hours differ week to week; earliest I work is at 6am and the latest I get off is 9pm. But, I don’t work super long hours so it is still very easy to fit pet care in my schedule! I will be moving back to school in West Lafayette, IN in August 2026. 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: 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.
