Mary was amazing with our two dogs, who are quite the characters! She provided pictures every visit and a wonderful note to describe how the dogs were doing. We will certainly be reaching out again next time we go out of town! We 100% recommend Mary!

Suzanna was THE BEST dropping in for our dog Reggie. She took him on walks and spent a lot of time with him while we were away… she was super attentive to everything we told her about him (he can be difficult) and we have definitely found our favorite dog sitter!!

Sarah was incredible. Our cat is a little shy and dumb and Sarah got her to come out and even got some cuddles (with a little convincing with treats of course). It was great to know that our cat was getting some love while we are out of town!😁

About: Having grown up with several dogs, I've developed a lifelong love for animals and an understanding of their needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience looking after and walking other people's dogs and pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I've always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time outdoors, making dog walking the perfect way for me to combine both passions. I am dependable, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every dog receives the exercise, care, and affection they deserve. As a recent college graduate, I have full availability this summer before starting my first teaching position in the fall, making me a reliable and flexible option for your pet care needs. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine when caring for them in and out of a client's home. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, and any specific preferences or restrictions. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I strive to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. During walks, I ensure dogs are safely leashed, hydrated when needed, and given appropriate exercise based on their age, energy level, and individual needs.

About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve also had the privilege of working at a doggy daycare/boarding business for several summers, where I absolutely loved caring for clients’ pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. If you have concerns about a senior dog, don’t worry—I’m very comfortable following specific schedules, administering routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime or a calm, gentle companion, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!!! I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m typically available Monday through Friday at any time, and I can accommodate a variety of routines and needs. While I prefer weekdays, I may be able to help on weekends with advance notice I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, or any specific care your pet needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I keep a clean and secure environment, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly handled. During walks, I stay alert and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet protected.

Crystal has been our pet sitter for more than a year. She cares for our slightly difficult cat and our freshwater and saltwater fish. She gives our cat lots of kind attention. She observes our cat's health and can medicate her as needed. Crystal gives clear updates with each visit. She arrives for each visit as scheduled and responds quickly to each message. Our pets, our home, and even our plants are in perfect order when we return home. Crystal is an excellent pet sitter!

About: Hi! I would love any experience and I love all animals. I also have a very flexible schedule! I would love to help anyone I can! I can help out most days of the week. Mostly mornings or afternoons, but working during the day on the weekends works perfectly for me! I love all animals and treat any I meet like my own! I would not mind having to respectfully visit client’s homes if that is needed!

About: 🐾 Many of my clients have become friends, and their pups’ unique quirks always keep our household laughing. Whether it’s a one-time visit or recurring stays, I’m here to give them plenty of love and send you the cutest updates along the way 🥰. As a pet mama myself, I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away. We baby ours (big time), and we’ll baby yours too… silly voices and all! 📍 Location – I'm about 25-30 minutes from Verona (it's listed as my location for visibility purposes), but we have clients from all over. I also offer flexible pick-ups/drop-offs to make things easy (if needed). 🐶 Routine: I work from home so I am always here and available to care for him/her. They will be very well loved! We especially enjoy going for walks and playing in the yard. As I mentioned, I'll keep you updated throughout the stay with photos, and other updates. If I'm unsure about anything, I will absolutely reach out and ask you!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Cassandra! Recently, a storm hit our area — not exactly ideal conditions for anyone. But without hesitation, she went above and beyond her role and helped clean up before carrying on with caring for Harvey. That kind of thoughtfulness and initiative is incredibly rare. She didn't have to do that — but she did it anyway, and it meant the world to me. It's clear she genuinely cares. So If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively), look no further. Thanks Cass :)

Yasmeen was very communicative during drop ins and even went out of her way to coerce my scared dog out from under the bed to go potty. She sent a lot of update photos and made the time away from my dogs feel more comfortable with her care.

When Suzanna came up to meet Tugsley for a meet and greet, he immediately stayed by her side. That eased any concern I had. Suzanna was a great sitter while I was traveling and I will definitely use her again. She gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was loved and being cared for while I was away.
