House Sitting in Mingo Junction

“Kandis did a wonderful job with my fur baby. She stayed in my home and my dog loved her. She walked him and took lots of pictures for me. I will definitely have her come back and sit with Emri when I’m looking for a dog sitter.”

About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy

“Stephanie took excellent care of my dog. She was very patient with her.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.

“Kaelyn stayed in our home for over 4 days with our senior dog Levi and did an incredible job! He usually gets sad and doesn’t want to eat/drink when we are away, but he felt so close & comfy with Kaelyn that he did not experience that at all. She did a tremendous job and kept us updated by texting daily photos. Communication with her was also very easy and she responded quickly. We’d 100% recommend her for ANY job. She’s very sweet, smart, respectful, and accountable. ❤️”

“Karie was awesome! She took the time to make a trip over to meet our dogs before her first stay, which was so appreciated. She sent us pictures during her stay and kept us in the loop. Great communication. I know my dogs enjoyed her stay and were looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

“Ruxin is a 13 year old weimerener with loving energy. His disposition matched Natalie’s personality and there were no hesitations from either of them; they bonded immediately. Natalie is a natural. She is reliable, competent and confident. Your pet is in good hands with her. I cannot speak highly enough of Natalie’s communication and ongoing commitment to keep our loved one safe, happy and healthy while we were away. This was the peace of mind that made the trip so relaxing. Natalie can be trusted without doubt or hesitation. She is thorough and seeks clarification if she is unsure of something pertaining to the uniqueness of your pet-this is the assurance that I admire and respect most in her ability to provide exceptional care. I know that Ruxin enjoyed his stay-cation from us as much as we enjoyed our time away visiting family. This was evident through the photos that she shared throughout. In addition to the great care that she provided to Ruxin, Natalie took outstanding care of our home. Upon returning from our trip, we were very pleased to find our house spotless! Thank you Natalie for your ongoing dedication to the pets and their homes that you care for. Ruxin sends his ❤️”

About: Hi there! I'm Jennifer, a passionate animal lover dedicated to providing the best care for your furry family members. With 30 years of experience in caring for my own pets as well as pet sitting and dog walking, I understand the importance of keeping your pets happy, healthy, and safe. I'm committed to creating a comfortable environment for your pets, whether it’s a fun walk in the park or some quality cuddle time at home. I take pride in my reliability and communication, ensuring you receive regular updates while you're away. Let’s connect and give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I also have experience caring for a variety of exotic animals as well please feel free to contact me with any requests! While I don't currently have any dogs of my own I currently have 10 ferrets and one kitten that are spoiled beyond all means. I have worked closely with rescues and taken in many rehomes due to the specialized care that they require. I currently make my own schedule since I perform work on an independent contractor and consultant basis so I have the availability to make almost any schedule work. I can usually accommodate requests with as little as 1 or 2 days notice due to the flexibility of my commitments. I look forward to spending time with your pets and treating them as if they are my own. I am happy to spend as much time with them as they require and look forward to minimizing the stress that unnecessary schedule changes can cause in their day to day routine.

“Deeanna and Bev were absolutely incredible with our pup. They sent so many pictures and videos, and honestly can't even tell they were here. I can't recommend them enough, and so thankful to have such caring and reliable people take care of our boy when we're out of town. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs so I know how to take care of them and keep them on a routine. I’m used to walks, feeding, and playtime, and I’m good with different personalities. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they’re happy and safe! 🐶😊 I’m a student athlete so my schedule can vary, but I have a lot of flexibility during the day and evenings. I’m active and used to being on a routine, so I can fit walks and care in easily. I’m very used to being around dogs and understanding their behavior. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely, keep your dog on their normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m attentive and won’t cut corners when it comes to care.

“Jarett was wonderful. Freya was unfamiliar with him at first but they are now friends. We will happily have him stay with her again. He kept us informed of her well-being, which is always a big relief when you’re away from home.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, with the majority of my hands-on experience in the last five years. I currently care for my own dog, Layla, and have also fostered, so I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I’ve potty trained three dogs, including my own, a foster dog, and a puppy I raised for about six months before transitioning him to my parents. That experience gave me a strong understanding of consistency, structure, and reinforcing good habits. I’ve provided both boarding and in-home pet sitting for multiple households, including homes with multiple dogs and homes with both dogs and cats. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency, patience, and communication are while owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout stays, and I treat every pet like my own. My dog Layla may accompany me during some house sitting stays depending on the pets and circumstances. She is friendly, social, and has done very well with other dogs during previous stays. I work full-time during weekdays, so I’m typically out of the home for about 9 hours during the day. Pets in my care should be comfortable with that schedule, and I make sure they are exercised, settled, and comfortable before I leave, with plenty of attention, walks, and interaction when I return home. On weekends, I’m much more available and hands-on, which allows for extra walks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddle time. Whether I’m boarding, doing daycare, or staying in a client’s home, I aim to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, behavior, and specific needs so I can provide consistent care and maintain the environment they’re used to. I live in an apartment with multiple grassy areas nearby for walks and bathroom breaks, along with an on-site dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. I tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and can reinforce routines such as feeding schedules, crate training, potty habits, and calm household behavior if needed. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”

“Brittany was great! She was perfect for giving Shadow attention and making him feel comfortable. She also sent pictures and communicated with me regularly while staying with him. I would definitely use her again!!”

About: Worked at petsmart for 2 years in college in pet care. Learned to care for cats, dogs, reptiles and horses at a young age. Have owned cats, dogs and reptiles. Knowledge of medications and how to administer. I work from home and my hours are flexible, am able to provide pet care that is round the clock, Monday through Friday and on weekends. For drop ins on weekdays, I can come in the morning or later evening. Large yard, locks on all doors and windows. Would keep animals separate from my own animals if at my house.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and many other kinds of animals ever since I was about 8 years old. I grew up with many animals in my household and I couldn't imagine it any other way as animals are such a big part of my life. I love going on walks and being outside, just like most dogs do too! Also, I have taken care of dogs of all ages including puppies and senior pets. I currently do not have a job so I am free for booking any day! I also do not have any preferences for time as I am willing to make whatever times work for you! There's many things I do to take care of a pet. I would make sure the pet is fed (and a treat here and there of course). I would also spend time giving the pet tons of attention. This can include playing with toys, walking them, or even just petting and sitting with them. I'd also make sure the pet is taken outside as often as the owner would like.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life and i will take care of your pets daily needs as i do my own animals. I'm currently working full time but have a very flexible schedule. I can be there to help take care of their daily needs or just do drop in visits to tend to them. I currently have 2 full grown dogs for your pups to play with in a large yard. I am also able to walk daily when needed.
