House Sitting in Mentor-on-the-Lake

“This was our first time using an in home pet sitter. We chose Martin due to his reviews and we weren't disappointed. One of our dogs is extremely afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks. We had to be out of town for the 4th of July weekend and were really nervous about her being with someone new. Martin was so good with her. She was very calm when we got home and not anxious at all. Martin kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pictures often. We will definitely ask him to watch them again. We highly recommend Martin A.R.!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Anthony. This is the second time we've used him and he is very professional. He even left our dog a little goody bag of treats/toys. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now I have my own 2 adopted mutts (and my 2 fur nephews). I grew up on a farm, so I’m pretty confident with animals, but if you have any concerns or special needs I’m happy to discuss or schedule a meet and greet! I work full time remotely, but have primary duties in the afternoon and evenings, so I’m almost always free for a midday stroll or potty break! At our house there are 4 dogs and lots of kids running in and out, but if your pup is okay with that there’s a huge back yard with a tether, or a neighborhood with sidewalks for walks if that’s more their speed. At your house, I follow your rules! I love to know your dogs favorite spots and which houses are “behind enemy lines.” I’m 6’4 and my hound is quite the rhinoceros, so I can walk the best of them!

“Whitney watched our older dog for about a week when we were on a family vacation. We were very nervous due to Millie's age and health. Whitney was amazing, checked in regularly, gave Millie her medicine, and accommodated our less then ideal flight schedule. We would absolutely ask Whitney to watch our home and Millie again.”

“We loved having Shawntel spend the day with our pets! She was super sweet and gave us updates throughout the day. Even the shyest of our pets were out and about spending time with her! It was a comfort to leave town and know she would be with our fur babies. We would absolutely book with her again.”

“Alex has stopped by to feed/play with our older two boys and spent a weekend with our not-yet-13-week-old puppy. We cannot thank her enough for her communication and obvious love for pets.”

“Katrina did a great job! She communicated with me the whole time and sent photos. We came home to a happy dog. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I pet sat a dog, puppy to senior for 3 years and walked her 7 years. I owned and took care of my cat for 15 years. Whenever possible, weekdays and/or weekends preferably afternoon time to evening! I am flexible to fit what’s available for my clients needs. Encouraged to help out anyway I can! During my childhood, my cat was an outdoor cat and we fed him according to schedule and health benefit to the cat. Accountability is important!

“Maddie did an amazing job watching our dogs while we were out of town. She kept us posted each day and sent us plenty of pictures and videos. Our dogs love her and had peace of mind they were in very good hands!”

About: I have grown up with animals and am an animal lover by nature. I have house sat for several families, having experience with multiple dog homes, cats, and birds. I have provided cared for rambunctious puppies and kittens as well, and I love to meet new furry friends! Currently I am working full-time with the weekends free, and I have pet sit before simultaneously. When I am pet sitting the animals I’m taking care of become my priority and any spare moment I get I dedicate to their well being. I am comfortable leashing and walking dogs, even ones that pull. If I do leave during the day I like to crate the dogs I watch so they have a safe space when I’m gone, and I make sure to keep the floor clear of any hazards that could cause a potential problem.

About: I’ve been helping taking care of animals since I was about 10. I love animals so much and wish I could save and keep every single one. I like all kinds, including rodents and reptiles along with all your basic house pets. I going to school fully online and because of that I am able to take care of your pets anytime and even on short notice. I am happy to take care of your pets exactly as you request. If they go on walks, to parks, need medicine, or need special attention or care I’m happy to provide your pets with all of their needs.

About: Any time a friend or a neighbor goes out of town or needs help, I'm the first one they call. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are happy, healthy and their needs are met! I love working with all ages. I’ve been around dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life. But I have a love for all animals! I know it can sometimes be hard to leave your furry loved ones with a stranger, but I can promise you I will treat them like my own! They’re in good hands(: I'm currently working a 9-5, but looking for something to keep me busy before and after work! (and weekends when I'm off work as well) I'm very passionate about working with animals I’m super flexible with everything so if you have any concerns, reach out to me and I’m sure we can figure it out! I have two friendly cats who love to play and get along with all animals! They also don't mind hanging out in the basement if need be. I've got a large area indoors and outdoors to keep your pet busy or they can relax on the couch!

“Absolutely Amazing!! Will definitely only be hiring her again to watch ANY AND ALL of my dogs when we need any sort of care. She was extremely thorough. I have a senior dog, a “special needs dog”- epileptic but young and playful, AND A a dog under two years old. They are well mannered but we have a care routine that she followed so thoroughly that made me relaxed as a worried pet mom. Thank you so much!!”

“Kala watched my two GSDs and sent videos and kept me very updated. I’ve never left them with anyone before so this was all new for me. She did great and will definitely book her again.”

Bev R.

“Jill was absolutely amazing, she treated my dog as if it were her own and kept me updated the duration of my trip. Would recommend her to anyone that may be hesitant to try this service. She was amazing.”

“Alex was an excellent house and dog sitter! He was available last minute, as we had flights booked for the next morning, and made time to come and meet our dogs right away. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Alex went beyond our expectations and we are looking forward to using him in the future.”

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs for years. I am a Dog lover for sure. I have dog sat for family members many times. Retired so I have all day to care for your pets. I am here to give potty breaks as needed and lots and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have two small dogs that love to play. I live in a small neighborhood with no traffic or noise.

“Anna is great with my dogs and was even willing to take one to the vet when he started limping right before we left for our trip! Would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”

About: I have had two dogs one of them since they were a puppy. I have been asked to dog sit for multiple families on more than one occasion. I currently work full time but am not married or have children. When I dog sit, it is my main focus and I spend as much time as possible with them. I follow the structure/ times the families are usually home. I have no problem transporting dogs in my car if necessary. I can give oral medication as necessary as well.

About: I've always loved spending time with animals. It was an absolute joy to train and look after my own dog for 14 years, gaining valuable experience in obedience training and the care of senior animals. I have been relied on for pet sitting by friends and family since I was a young teenager and have recently started helping them specifically with dog training. This work has become my passion and one I hope to make a career of. I am currently taking every opportunity to build upon my skillsets by working with dogs of all varieties and ages. I am also experienced in the care of small pets and exotics, being especially knowledgeable in the husbandry of small reptiles (including snakes) and amphibians. However, I am also equipped to care for small mammals (including rabbits). I am able to dedicate the majority of my time each week to pet care. I am a part-time student in online college who is at home during the day save for the occasional errand or medical appointment. I am available to take clients at any time, for any amount of time throughout the week unless otherwise noted. I provide a calm and stable environment to any animal in my care. Your pet(s) will have my full attention whenever they are with me. Every pet is different, so I like to take the time to learn the unique personality of every animal, ensuring their preferences are respected and their needs met. I can keep up with energetic pets and chill out with couch potatoes. I always maintain firm yet relaxed demeanor, offering gentle corrections only when necessary to redirect a pet's attention toward more positive behaviors. I like to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible to increase their comfort with me.
