“Marie was a Godsend! I have never left my 2 cats but wanted to attend a wedding in Mexico. From the moment I met Marie, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. She sent me pics twice a day and let me know how my girls were doing. Not only do I have a cat sitter, I have a new friend as well :) Marie is loving and responsible and I highly recommend her!!”
“Mykaela did a great job keeping me updated while I was away!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. My mom and I foster bottle-fed kittens—even those as young as one day old. Since I was 16, I’ve been house-sitting dogs, and I’ve even helped a dog through two births and assisted in raising the puppies. I have also house sat animals such as ferrets, bunnies, and ducks so if you have any other animals that need checked on just let me know. Spending time with animals and caring for them brings me so much joy. I am currently in school and working part-time. While I am busy my work shifts are only 4 hours and a lot of my school is online. This makes my schedule very flexible. I care for all pets as if they are my own. I enjoy playing with them and often bring them places with me. Though, if you do not want me to take your pet with me I will not.
“Zoe is excellent! Great communicator, great with our dog. Very responsive and responsible. She was flexible and really helped us care for our dog when we left town. 100% recommend Zoe!”
“Cassie was amazing and kept us updated on our Marley every time she went over and we appreciate her so much!! She was attentive and spent a good amount of time with our dog!!”
About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a dedicated animal care professional with over two and a half years working at an animal sanctuary, where I handle a wide range of species from birds of prey to reptiles. Beyond the sanctuary, I’ve volunteered with my local Humane Society, walking dogs and socializing cats, and have been a lifelong pet owner of dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals like hamsters. I also regularly house- and pet-sit for friends and coworkers, so I understand how important it is to provide loving, dependable care while you’re away. I’m responsible, respectful of your home and pet’s needs, and passionate about keeping animals happy and safe. I’d love to help care for your furry or scaly family members with personalized attention and kindness! I currently work part-time at an animal sanctuary, usually from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Saturday through Wednesday. That means I have availability in the early mornings, evenings, and all day Thursday and Friday for pet care. I’m a night owl by nature, so late-night visits or overnight stays work well for me too! I love fitting pet care into my week—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their animals and their space with the utmost respect. I follow any instructions carefully, keep the environment clean, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for. I’m attentive to routines—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—and I always make sure pets get the affection and attention they need while you're away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.
About: I have a background in caring for exotic and household pets. I have had cats growing up ever since I was little and would find strays in our yard, to the current 3 cats in our home now. I had a beagle for over 15 years, and have experience working with dogs in a boarding kennel within a veterinary clinic. I have experience working with a variety of animals including tropical saltwater fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals ranging from crocodiles to sloths and penguins. I currently have 2 lizards, a chameleon and a gecko as well. I have a background in basic training for dogs, birds and reptiles including target feeding and basic commands. I would love to come take care of your furry or scaley friends! I currently have 3 cats and 2 lizards that are taken care of on a daily basis. Each animal has their own schedule and routine that vary from eachother, so extra care is often times needed. I also recently worked for an aquarium for the past 6 years, which I was a supervisor that worked up to 12 hour days taking care of basic and advanced care needs for the animals in our facility. I can give basic medications if needed or bottle feed/syringe. I can let out your dog on a runner or lead if that is preferred. Walks are also fine, given proper training based on the specific needs of the dog. I can provide playtime and enrichment to help with extra energy that needs burned off as well.
“Brandon was very patient with a grumpy old cat. He's the best.”
“✨ 5+ STARS ✨I have much gratitude for Marcy. I had a last minute request for a 2-week job, and she handled it flawlessly and promptly. And this was my very first experience utilizing Marcy’s services. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly adores the furbabies! I’ll definitely contact Marcy for future needs!”
About: Even as a baby I have always been around animals, and when I started to crawl and sit up my first playmates was a grey rescue cat and a old rottweiler. As I grew up I became more of a animal lover, showing no fear believing that every animal deserve love and to be treated right I currently do not have a job besides helping watching my niece once in awhile, while my parents are at work and I will soon being enrolling in college part time I live on a 160 acre farm, with open fields, a lake and plenty of space to play. A very long drive way, so it there will always be distance between us and a main road. I also have three pug-chihuahua of my own, who will either love to play with your pet or simply just leave them be, the dogs are fine with cats, seeing as I have two of my own, the cats will hide at first until they know your pet better. And lastly I have a rabbit who is shy and curious. None have any of my animals have ever been aggressive and all my cats and dogs are fixed. But if needed I can separate and crate your pet if needed.
About: I have been watching dogs and house sitting for over 5 years. I have also trained a service dog but am not a certified trainer yet! I am going to school full-time and working part time Monday through Thursday till 3:00pm. Free anytime outside of that time frame. Travel back-and-forth from Hubbard to Kent and Columbus quite frequently. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I provide personalized attention, ensuring each pet feels secure and loved in a familiar environment. For in-home dog sitting, I maintain their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging outings tailored to their energy level and personality. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are happy and well-cared for.

“Kori was perfect. I knew from our meet and greet she'd be great with our fur babies. Very friendly and detail oriented. I'd definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats over the last 10 years. I have also always had dogs of my own; currently have 3 beautiful girls. I love all pets, small to big and young to old. Athletic enough for young ones’ energy and gentle enough for seniors’ care. I have a background in pet health care and have also worked at a kennel in the past. Taking care of your animals wouldn’t even be a service to me; my love for them makes it easy. I work full time, but depending on location would be able to do walks or drop-in visits on my lunch breaks. As well as before or after work, if needed. I am available for house sitting pretty much any day of the week with at least 1-day notice. I have adequate knowledge on when a dog may be feeling stressed or threatened and know how to handle the situation accordingly. I can crate your dogs, if required. I do my absolute best to avoid distractions while on walks.
“Shelley was great and so nice. In addition to taking great care of my 2 cats she took care of my chickens too. She offered to water my house plants while I was gone. Will definitely use her again”

“Elli did a great job checking on Lulu during my vacation. I enjoyed receiving photos of Lulu playing with Elli and getting her tuna treat! It made me less worried about leaving her for the first time! I will use Elli again for certain!”
About: I’ve taken care of the dogs in my neighborhood and family for about six years now. I can take care of senior animals and animals recovering from medical procedures. I’m currently in high school, but otherwise, I am mostly home and have a fully open schedule! I will take care of your lovely pets before I leave for school (6:50 am). I return from school at about 3 pm. I have a large yard with an invisible electric fence that I’m willing to walk through if shock collars aren’t an option for your animals. I live with my parents and we also have two dogs of our own— both are very friendly. I can also crate your dogs if needed. My home is smoke free and has a large porch+dog door that way pets can be outside without the risk of getting lost in the neighborhood.

Jessica went above and beyond with regular updates, photos, and detailed notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog took to her right away, which says a lot because he can be a bit shy with new people. She clearly has a natural connection with animals and treats them like her own. When we came home, he was calm, happy, and well cared for—exactly what every pet parent hopes for! Jessica is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
