House Sitting Mantua

“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”

About: I’ve been caring for and watching cat’s and dogs for just about my whole life! I used to run a small company called Pet Sitters in my neighborhood growing up! I have a verity of experiences from dogs of all sizes, energy and needs! I have also cared for dogs who need extra help getting around and extra care around the house! I work full-time; however, I work remotely giving me the flexibility to care for your pet! I typically work 7:30-4PM and am usually available on most weekends. I have an open area for pets to enjoy; however, I know that not all dogs are trained for this so I am happy to walk them in the neighborhood! Pets inside will enjoy an open home that they are free to enjoy as they would like. If at a client’s home, depending on the dog’s normal routine and client’s requests I will ensure your pet has a safe, enjoyable time while you are away. This will include: play time, walks, pets and whatever else the pet enjoys!

About: I am currently a Second Year Veterinary Student at N.C. State CVM and an employee at Animal Emergency Hospital & Urgent Care! I have 10+ years of experience with a variety of different species ( dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, ferrets, bearded dragons, tortoises, snakes, cows, horses, goats, sheep, pigs, and chickens). With that said, I have experience providing ear, eye, skin, oral, and SQ medications, assisting in post operative care/critical care, providing medicated baths/non-medicated baths, helping our older friends walk and go to the bathroom, taking dogs on walks and to the dog park, and aiding in training routines/commands. Additionally my goal, is for you to feel comfortable in knowing your pet/home is well taken care of. I love to send text/picture updates, and I do not mind watering plants and bringing in the mail. I currently work one-two days a week on the weekends (I make my own schedule so if you book ahead we shouldn’t interfere) and I am in class 8-5pm M-F for class. I have time to take pets on walks before class/work, during my lunch break at noon-1pm, and after work or class. I work as a overnight pet sitter periodically where I stay over ones house and follow a list of instructions provided by thee owner, having time to take out the pet in the morning, again ( if a dog(s)) around 12-1pm. As class begins again at 1:10pm. I additionally can take pets on walks after school, as instructed or requested by the owner. If it is a cat(s), I get everything set before I leave the home and make it back at night. I can also stop by homes and administer medications and provide walks as needed to animals for day of visits. Ensuring I send you picture updates and texts throughout the day!

“Sandy was wonderful to work with. She came over ahead of time to go through instructions, which I really appreciated. While we were away, she sent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond in caring for our dogs, and when we got home they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our home was also left clean and exactly as we left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sandy again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’m currently 19, so 19 years of loving dogs all sizes and breeds. I’ve actually dog sat for 3 family friends here and there for about 5 years and would love to do the same for someone else who may need it as well!! I’m currently in school to become a vet technician as well! I love animals any kind and would love to get to love your animals just like they’re my own!! I’m currently working part time tropical smoothie! However, I can attend to your animal whenever they may need within my availability! I really would love to go on walks no matter the weather and even play with your pup. I love running and am very active so I would be the same with your pup if they allow me! Just gives me more cardio in the end lol! I would love to just hangout and play with your pup all day!! I do not care for pets in my own home. However, I will do my best to accommodate to your home and what i’ll need to do to take care of your pup the best!

About: Northeast Ohio Native! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I understand that dogs need time outside, walks and plenty of attention to keep them happy and healthy. I also understand that cats have their own personalities they love their playtime, but they also appreciate their independence and quiet time. No matter their personality or routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll be right by their side, providing companionship and the care they deserve! All animal photos in my gallery are pets I have lived with or cared for within the past three years, except for Sasha the Giraffe I had the opportunity to feed while at the San Diego Zoo! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attention, walks and playtime. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I care for every pet by learning their individual needs, personality and routine before providing care. I prioritize trust and comfort by following owner instructions, maintaining a clean environment and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I want each pet to feel relaxed, secure and cared for while their family is away.

“Shannon was excellent! She provided photos of our pups and they seemed well taken care of when we got home. I would highly recommend Shannon!”

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, always having a cat and/or dog around! I love my family pets dearly, and since I live far away from them now, I am missing the connection with a furry friend. I have lived with and helped raise my current dog and cat since they were babies all the way to their current old ages. I used to check on my neighbors pets, they had 4 in total--two dogs (one senior), two cats. I would take the dogs outside for bathroom and run around time, as well as feed them lunch. Cats are elusive, so I just made sure they had food and fresh water available. I'd also stay extra time to dole out all the affection the animals needed before mom and dad got home. Currently I care for 8 fish in my 20 gallon fish tank! I'm in college at the moment but my schedule is open in the afternoons/evenings. Monday I have classes at 11 am so I can do a morning check. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I spend the morning student teaching so I am available after 1-1:30 pm for checks, Tuesday and Thursday I have a class from 6-7 pm. Friday I have only one commitment from 3-5 pm so I can do morning checks and afternoon/evening checks. Weekends are mostly open, occasionally I have events. I cannot care for your pet in my own home, but I am more than willing to care for your pet in your home. Pets are usually more comfortable with a new person when they are in their own territory. As long as I know the rules for taking care of your pet, I will be able to give you and your pet a positive care experience.

“Andrew took care of our special needs Yorkie(Moe), did a great job of daily pictures and Moe updates! Would definitely recommend Andrew to take care or your fur babies!”

About: Aside from having my own very high energy dogs since I was a child, I am also a volunteer dog walker with my local shelter. I have been trained to handle dogs of all sizes and am very used to safely working with all temperaments, including high energy and nervous dogs. I accept last minute bookings if you are ever in a pinch! As a pet parent I understand that sometimes events come up and I’m happy to help you out! I am familiar with crating and crate training, as well as other training techniques. My complex has a small dog park that I use to exercise pups in addition to multiple daily walks

“Wonderful as always! Nate always goes above and beyond house sitting our 2 dogs. He gave Snow her medicine and kept them calm during a storm and power outage, keeping our home safe! Thank you again”

About: As a pet owner for 20+ years (15+ years pet sitting for friends, family and word of mouth), I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. I can assure that I will provide the highest degree of professionalism and genuine care for your pet(s). With the experience of a variety of pets and breeds, I follow their own unique characteristics that deserve undivided attention.

I am an energetic young adult who loves walking and hiking with a flexible schedule. Whether it is only for a moment or a few weeks I will always make sure that your pet feels comfortable and loved with a full healthy belly :) Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services! Thank you, Hannah I work remote with flexible hours that don’t take up a lot of my day.

I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure in their own home or while away. I prioritize their routines, well-being, and happiness while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their pets are in reliable, responsible, and caring hands.

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 10 and have been responsible for taking her on walks, feeding her, bathing her, giving her water. I have also had friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their pets and they have always been grateful to me and told me that I am great with animals. I’m still in school currently so I will only be able to work part time, but my classes are online, so my schedule is pretty flexible to make it easy for me to take of your pups! I can feed, water, and bathe your dogs and I am able to take your dogs on walks when needed. If they need to be put in a crate I can do that as well if necessary

“Kristen was the best! She took great care of my two pups. She was able to stay the night with them and cuddled them as her own. Will use again thanks kristen!!!”

About: My family has had dogs on and off since I was little. I've always loved dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities. I have my own Mini Goldendoodle sister named Harley! We got her when she was just 6 weeks old and she's now 5 years old living her best life :) I especially love taking Harley for walks as it helps me to get my own exercise. I make sure to play with her often and give her lots of cuddles. Anything to make sure she feels safe, loved, and healthy! I am a young professional working a full-time remote job in Higher Education. I typically work 8:30-5pm Monday through Thursday and 11:30-8pm on Fridays. Weekday nights and weekends I'm usually available! I keep Harley on a leash when she's in the backyard and on a leash during walks. We mostly only feed her dog food with the occasional fruit, vegetable, or treat after research. She sleeps in her crate at night and she stays in her crate when no one is home. Depending on the care you need, I would treat your furry friends the same as my own with the same safety cautions and care.
