Pet Sitting in New Bremen

“Laura is just the pup sitter we needed, and she was available on short notice.. She is great with dogs, and our dogs seem to know she can be trusted. We are grateful for her!”

“Angie is amazing. We have now used her 2 years in a row and she shows our dogs the same love we would show them ourselves. I love that I am able to leave my dogs at home in their own environment than to board them in a kennel while on vacation. My 2 dogs seem to really like this and aren't near as anxious upon our return. Receiving updates and daily pics also helps this dog moms anxiousness while being away knowing they're getting good care.”

“Thank you taking such good care of Buddy! I was worried since he has always stayed with a friend but it looks like he took to you.”

“She was so patient with our Lily who was a bit apprehensive about a new person to let her out. Finally Lily was comfortable with her that she went out. She was great with my sister's two dogs too. They loved her.”

“Karissa is PHENOMENAL!!! I booked her last minute for a 2 week trip and she was so accommodating with checking on my cats in my home. They were in great hands and well taken care of, I highly recommend Karissa!”

About: I've personally had three dogs in my home while growing up. I have had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and frogs as well. I currently have four cats in my care and have taken care of other people's dogs. I am currently in school, gaining my certifications for pet boarding. I am looking to take care of animals in the morning and occasional weekends. I am open to caring for your animals in their home, I am not able to house animals at my own house or stay overnight at the moment.

About: Hello! My name is Amber. I’m currently available to pet sit in Lima and surrounding areas! Dogs are one of my great loves in life. I previously worked at a no-kill shelter in Columbus, Ohio where I worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am comfortable with many temperaments—I haven’t yet met an anxious dog who didn’t warm up to me quickly—but if your dog has any aggression issues, I am not comfortable accepting the request. If needed, I can administer oral medication; I do not have experience with needles. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, who adapts quickly to new surroundings. I am generally pretty quiet, and I always respect my surroundings. Just like I treat your pets like my own, the same goes for your home. I always make sure it is clean and well kept. By trusting me with the care of your home and your pets, you are giving me the opportunity to do what I love, so there is no question that I will go above and beyond what is expected of me. If you are interested in discussing an agreement further or wish to see additional references, please contact me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am insured by Pet Sitters Associates. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to do drop-ins, walks, and overnight sits. I try to accommodate schedule requests as best I can! I follow any verbal or written instructions I have been provided. I often send updates to pet owners. I’m a big fan of sending selfies with pets!

About: I am not new to animal care or taking care of animals. I have veterinary technician experience. I have 2 dogs and a huge fenced in back yard. I do work, but i am able to work in the morning or early evening. My dogs love to play ball, chase each other, go for walks, and car rides. They are crate trained and sleep there at night. We have a huge fenced in backyard that my dogs live to run, wrestle and tear up the grass in. I cannot guarantee your pet won't have accidental grass stains.

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.

“The perfect cat sitter! Valorie showed up on time everyday, contacted us when there were issues, and gave treats and toys!”

“Connie did an excellent job caring for our 3 heathens (Flokie, Milly, & LoLo). She gave our old man, Flokie, all his medications as needed and she successfully made it through the distributions of all three's 'special dinner toppings' as I asked her to. She communicated very well and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Connie!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them. At one point in time I took care of 7 new born kittens after they were thrown out and abandoned from their mother, I used to live on a farm and took care of farm animals from sun up till sun down, and now I have so much free time I don’t know what to do with it haha

About: I have always had a dog around since I was a little girl and cats almost just as long! I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter and helped bathe and feed their pups! I currently work part time and can find a time in almost any day to meet the needs of your pets! The more free time I have is more time I could spend with your pet! My dog Ivy is treated like a princess at our house! I bathe, brush, and walk her as needed. However I make sure Ivy is shown love everyday by playing with her, taking her outside, and giving her belly scratches.

“Emma communicated wonderfully! She was so good with the dogs and easy going! We really appreciated her!!!!!”

About: I have been a dog lover for much of my life! Growing up we had cats and smaller breed dogs. I begged my parents to allow me to watch our neighbors' dogs when they left town, and I was the go-to caretaker of our family's pets. As an adult, I have cared for 3 dogs of my own and currently we have 2 larger breed dogs. We adopted all of our dogs as puppies so I understand the adorable puppy moments, as well as the moments where puppies can be extra work. I've owned dogs into their senior years and how there can be limitation considerations and potentially and care required for health needs that come with age. I'm currently working part-time and manage a small business with my husband. Both are relatively flexible, especially if planned more than 1 week prior. Generally afternoons (after 1pm) are flexible. With advance planning, I can be available earlier in the day too. I can visit your home to care for your pets. If you have dogs and want me to provide exercise (walk or backyard play session), I can do so based on your preference. If you would like, I can also check on things inside such as water/food, or any other requested services (that I am able to provide).

About: I have taken care of Dogs since a child. I currently have 2 of my own who are spoiled rotten.I also currently help out my mom with her animals. I am currently working Full-time but make my own schedule so I am available nights ,weekends depending on my rotation for the month and days I have a fully fenced in backyard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur babies company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have taken care of pets all my life. I have had a dog from the time I could walk and a horse since I was 4. Animals are a passion of mine. Currently I have three cats, 3 dogs, a horse, and a ferret. My cats are Lucifer, Loco, and Cleo. Lucifer loves to eat, Loco loves love, and Miss Cleo loves to be left alone. My dogs are Jezzi, Ziggy, and Auzy. Jezzi is a jack russel who loves belly rubs and to be the boss. Ziggy is a Texas blue heeler who is afraid of his shadow and has anxiety disorders. Auzy loves people and to play with other dogs, but she is 130 lbs and things she is a lap dog. My horse is Dallas and he love mini Oreos and to run all day long. My ferret, T-Bird, or the “crack weasel” as everyone calls him loves to run and sleep. My family and friends have always relied on me with their pets, homes, and children anytime they needed someone. Pet care is like a second nature to me, everyday at 5:30 I go to the horse barn and feed Dallas. My other animals get fed when I feed myself and their water is always filled. I work full time, if I am not working at Coopers in the morning I am babysitting. With my full schedule I always make time for each and every one of my pets whether that is playing in the yard with my dogs or playing with my cats, or even letting the ferret loose in the house to play with the cats or the dogs. When I am working in a clients home, usually if the weather permits I will take their babies outside to play or even the park for a walk. I also like to take dogs for car rides to get ice cream on a warm day. On a wet or cold day we stay in and play or lounge depending on the pet. Dogs and cats that need a little more training or help, I like to take time in the day to “make it all about business.” My dogs at home all know the basic commands and some others depending on the dogs, so it is fun to learn the difference between animals; for example my dog Ziggy, knows hug, move, and enough. People who own dogs like do not have anxiety usually wouldn’t know the meaning behind these commands. I use hug for Ziggy when it comes to new people because he can forget people in the matter of minutes and it takes time for him to get used to them again, the hug represents safety because most people do not know the command and how he reacts to it. The command move for Ziggy is also a command most people do not know the meaning behind. Ziggy’s anxiety constantly has him moving but when it comes to doors he has a tendency to sit and wait for someone to open a door before he jumps and nips them. Telling Ziggy to move makes him move to a different position in the house away from the door rather than telling him no. Enough is a command used a lot for Ziggy because his anxiety always has him barking and wanting constant contact, this becomes an inconvenience when I am trying to work on the floor or on my bed and he is walking all over my work space or even when I am just trying to take a deep breath. Telling him enough is like a heal command without the sit. Enough just means I’m not playing, I’m busy so go lay down. Working with a dog like Ziggy takes a lot of patience along with keeping a constant.
