HOME 24/7 HUGE YARD & 100% LOVE :)

I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs!

Lolly took great care of our girl. Pictures and updates twice a day. Always quickly responded. Our trip was more enjoyable knowing that our dog Wernes was being so well cared for

Lolly took the best care of Otis! I appreciate the detailed updates, unique love, care and attention she offered my old man! I had peace of mind he was at ease and having the best time on his own little vacation. Her set up is perfect for caring for your fur baby!

Our 1st time using Rover.com and our 1st time leaving our 4 yr. old pup with anyone other than family. After the Meet & Greet, we knew this was a wonderful match. Lolly loved our pup Izzy, took exceptional care of her. Sent us daily updates, photos and even a few videos. I thought Izzy missed us initially and then I was wondering if she would ever want to come home. :) Many walks, play time, and she even made her some homemade treats, we just knew Izzy was in the best place ever. Now, we want to plan a few more vacations in hopes Lolly is free to watch our little pup again. Thank you so much for taking care of Izzy!!!!

Josephine was amazing. For sure 10/10. She sent me updates with pictures every single day. She would make treats for her and make her special toys. I know that my dog was so well taken care of— I think it was hard for her to leave Josephine ❤️ we will definitely be using her again when we go on trips! I’m so thankful we found her on here because I really wanted my dog to be as comfortable as possible with us being away from her and I know she was living her best life with Josephine ❤️

Pets

A typical day

I have the luxury of acres of wooded trails to walk in (LOCATION: near Bethel, Ohio 45106) and a large fenced back yard for off-leash play time. I am happy to duplicate whatever routine your pet is used to so that stress is kept to a minimum. You can rest assured that I will treat your fur baby as if they were part of my family.

I would always want to have a meet and greet so that we are all comfortable with the care and expectations on both sides and to give you and your pet a chance to get to know me. Being flea free and up-to-date with vaccinations is a must and I will only consider pets that are not aggressive. My home is best suited to smaller pups.
