“I was impressed with Catherine from start to finish. My pets immediately took to her, and she gave them lots of love and care while I was away. She sent regular updates and pics, and I felt very comfortable with her caring for them in my home. I was extremely impressed and happy with her and her service. Highly recommend her!”


“Leah took really good care of my two dogs while I was out celebrating my birthday all day . She made me feel at ease by sending updates as well as pictures. Both of the dogs were both grinning from ear to ear from the pictures she sent us. Thank you!”


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.


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 grew up around animals and spent a lot of time with them. From dogs to cats and even a squirrel. Pet sitting for friends and family when they would go out of town. I work night shift at the hospital 3 days a week so I have quite a few days off to take care of and help out with your pets. I’ve grown up with dogs, but now currently have two cats. I am responsible for changing out their cat litter, making sure they have food and wet food , also making sure they have water.

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.

“Sarah and her 6 year old daughter took wonderful care of my high energy dog, Penny, and two cats, Sully and Oliver at our home! She sent many photos throughout the 4 days which reassured us that our fur babies were content and well cared for. She followed all our instructions for special feeding and medication. She gave Penny plenty of exercise and even sent some super fun videos of them playing chase with Penny, her favorite game. Penny got finicky on a walk so Sarah carried her home quite a distance. (She’s 25 lbs so this wasn’t easy!) She scooped the litter and the yard, brought in our garbage cans and mail, left the house just the way she found it. All our pets were as normal as could be when we got home which is a great sign of a successful pet sitting experience. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”
