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.

About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I work full-time as a veterinary assistant. Caring for animals is both my career and my passion. Through my experience in veterinary medicine, I am comfortable working with pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, and pets with special needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and helping anxious or nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime and exercise, medication administration, or extra patience and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I work full-time on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On those days, I am available for pet care visits before 7:00 AM and after 6:00 PM. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress while their owners are away. I ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort based on each pet’s personality and needs. With my veterinary assistant experience, I am comfortable providing additional care such as administering oral medications, monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health, and giving extra support to senior or anxious pets. I also offer services including dog walking, nail trims, and bathing when needed. My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind with reliable updates and communication throughout each visit.

“Kara was fantastic - she and her lovely dog Loretta stayed with our dog for 2 full weeks while we were away. Lucy was super happy and well cared for and Kara did an amazing job watching our house as well. She even graciously dealt with calling our landlord about a leaking sink and she left our house super clean. Thanks for everything!!!”

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.

“Kaitlin has stayed at our house multiple times. She leaves the house spotless. She’s very attentive to details and I trust her implicitly with my home and my animals. Definitely rebooking.”

Feed at 11am and let dog out as much as every 2-3 hours. I also will do a 30 minute leash walk down the road. Feeding playing with and making sure they are comfy before I leave. I also will text if I have a question about something I don’t know about their pet The picture on my profile is the spot where they’ll be boarded at during night and if your dog and mine don’t mix well your dog will be just have that whole room to himself with baby gates. I spend my day in front room which is only 3 steps away from that room.

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.

“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”

“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!”
