House Sitting in Lockington

“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I've worked at a doggy day care from 2023-2025 and only stopped because I moved to Ohio from out of state. I have limited puppy training experience, and a good understanding of dog and cat behavior. I also have reptile experience as I owned a California King Snake before moving. Available Monday through Friday from 10am-3:30pm. Saturday from 9am-12pm. I am currently taking time away from working, so I have plenty of time to spend helping take care of your pets! And I will treat every animal with the same level of compassion and respect, because I know that they are more than just animals you live with. I am always alert and watching the mood of animals, so I will be able to ensure they are safe and get along. Crating or separating if needed. And I can help with administering medications.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat them like family while they’re with me. I previously owned a husky, so I’m familiar with caring for high-energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and lots of engagement. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, young, or older. I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Hi! I’m an animal lover and expecting my first baby girl in June, so I’m looking for a reliable and flexible way to earn income while spending precious time with my little one. I’ve always loved being around dogs and would love to help with walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and will treat your pets like family 🤍 I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates/photos for peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages and sizes for many years. I have done overnight visits, walks, and general drop in to let them out for potty breaks. I have also administered medication to them and am pet CPR certified. I have a very flexible schedule, so this would fit perfectly into anything you have planned. I work from home during my own hours and worked part-time as a Pet Sitter before moving here recently. I would be coming to you to take care of your pets. Unfortunately, our cat may not be happy with other pets in the home. I would happily come to your residence for a quick walk, check in visit, or overnight care.

“Kaitlin did a wonderful job with our dog. I was nervous as this is the first time we’ve used her and she exceeded our expectations! She helped work on his behavior issues and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will be definitely using her anytime we go out of town!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs

“Maura was a wonderful house/animal sitter. She gave us updates with pictures throughout our weeklong vacation & left our home in pristine condition. It’s always hard to leave your “babies” behind but having Maura there really gave us a sense of relief. We would highly recommend her and have already booked with her again!”

About: I have cared for cats and many different breads of dogs over the past several years. Not only will I provide quality care for your pet(s), but I will love them as if they were my own. My availability to care for your pets in your home is flexible. I am open to daytime, evening, or overnight hours. I am also available for extended time periods while you are away. I will come to your home to care for your pet(s), which will allow them to remain in the comfort, safety and security of their familiar environment.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, other than my own dogs I have been a pet sitter for friends / family for 5+ years. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve had multiple litters of puppies and breeds all the way from chihuahuas to great danes ! I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time on my hands ! I can work with any schedule that fits you best ! I have five dogs myself! We have 7 acres we let them run free on, but if we do go in public they are always on leashes. I can 100% trust them but you never know with other animals so just a safety hazard ! I’ve cared for dogs with fenced in yards and without so I’m fine with either !

About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything. I now have 2 dogs both smaller. I cared for a large dog for a year he was over 100 pounds. super sweet and loving he was my best friend. Unfortunately I had to move and I couldn’t bring him with me I miss him very much, so I am a big fan of larger dogs. I am currently working 2 jobs 1 every weekend Friday-Sunday. The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off. I am currently living with roommates so I will have to come to your residence, but that is not a problem for me especially since the pet will already be comfortable with the environment. When I meet a new pet I am very patient with them I will let them come to me to be sure they are okay with me being in their territory.

“Arthur is fantastic and we’ll be using him as our first choice!”

“Cassie stayed at our house to watch our babies while we were in Europe for 9 days. Our littles have had a lot of health issues this year and even though they are mostly stable now, we were nervous leaving them alone. Cassie made two visits to our house prior to our trip to make sure she understood all the details around their care. Thankfully there were no issues while we were gone. We returned to happy, healthy pets and a clean home. We are incredibly grateful to Cassie and will definitely use her services again in the future.”

“Highly recommend Amy! Plenty of pictures & videos! Great communication! Dogs were happy & healthy! The house was even clean when we returned! Couldn’t ask for a better a sitter for my pups! Will be using Amy again!”

About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.

“Ben is literally the BEST!!! Blue loves his boy time with him when I got out of town. He gives me daily updates and pictures. I know Blue is safe with Ben and my heart couldnt be more happy!!”

“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”

About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.

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.

“Tatum was the most respectful, loving, and caring sitter for my new puppy! She was very knowledgeable about dogs! She did everything I asked and followed directions clearly. Tatum also sent me a ton of pictures and text updates throughout her stay at my apartment. I am so happy I found her as my sitter!!! After I had a tough time with a different sitter in the past, she definitely made me feel comforted that my puppy was taken care of. Very professional care! I will be using her as much as possible!”
