“Zoe was just amazing. As someone who is new to the area, Zoe quickly put my mind at ease that I was putting my two cats (and axolotl) in great hands. One of my cats is special needs and during the meet and greet she took the time to understand his condition and how to handle it. She went above and beyond by keeping the litter boxes clean, providing a great narrative of how her visits went, sending pictures, and keeping me updated on anything of concern. I couldn't have asked for a better person and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me. I am between jobs right now, and I want to fill that time doing what I love. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not allow dogs. I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.
“Cassie and her daughter, Grace, were fabulous sitters for our three Havanese. Having used Rover for over a decade for home stays, this time, we needed a sitter for just a few hours, as we visited the NFL Hall of Fame They both showed up on time and made a fabulous first impression and more importantly, our dogs immediately loved them both. They went beyond typical dog sitters with a warmth and care, I wish every dog sitter had. We felt completely comfortable with their care and I think our dogs were even disappointed when we returned. I wholeheartedly recommend Cassie for pet sitting. She's FABULOUS!!! <3”
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.
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.
“✨ 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: 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.

About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well. I am currently working part time so I will have time to play and cuddle with your pets all the time. It will be my pleasure. I am always watching to make sure they don't get into something they shouldn't be eating or playing with. I love to take walks and play.

“This was our first time working with Derek and it won't be our last! We have four cats, two of which are special needs. Derek was professional, punctual, and thorough. Our feeding/medication routine is complex, but Derek made sure everyone got what they needed. I also appreciated the feedback he provided during each of his check-ins. If you are looking for someone to trust your fuzz kids with while you're away, look no further.”
About: Animals have always been the center of my life. I understand them like I understand people. I surrounded my life around them and dedicated my life to taking care of them. I have a gift of understanding them, something people have told me for years. I love them with all my heart and soul and do everything in my power to make sure they are happy. Animals bring joy to the world 💜 I work at a Veterinarian Clinic, my schedule can vary but I will always do my best to accommodate your animals needs. I can be flexible for boarding. I have a fenced in back yard. I am located right on the lake so I always take my dogs for walks, and golf cart runs by the lake. I have two dogs and two cats at home. They get along really well with all critters.
“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”
