House Sitting in New Philadelphia

“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!”

“I could not be happier with how well Lisa and Hannah took care of our pets! They treated them like their own and gave them plenty of love and attention while we were away. We received daily updates with pictures. The whole experience was absolutely perfect. I have never been so comfortable leaving our pets for a trip. We will definitely be asking them to sit for us again!”

“Taylor was absolutely incredible and gave us the best thing possible while we were out of town: peace of mind. She is a kind, respectful, and easy to talk to! She kept in open communication every step of the way. She did not complain when there was an alarm issue on her last night here and she took care of our home as if it was her own. She was incredible with our sweet pup June and our two skittish bunnies. Taylor provided feedback about our animals during our trip and also sent updates and photos. June requires daily medication and a patient leader and Taylor handled her just as we would! Our house was in the same condition as when we left it and she took care of everything we asked and followed any directions or requests without issue. We really enjoyed meeting her and had utter peace of mind the moment we left. We would recommend Taylor to anyone and we definitely plan on reaching out to her for future trips and travel. June, Jackie, and Jerry loved her!”

“Martha did a great job with Milo and Kona. She was very good about communicating any issues and pictures to show us our dogs were taken care of.”

“Absolutely Awesome! She followed directions and my dogs absolutely fell in love with her. Will be using again. Appreciate you keeping me updated the whole time.”

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.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been actively involved in caring for them from a young age. I’m experienced with daily routines including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I understand different dog personalities and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I currently only work 2 days of the week, saturday and sunday, the rest of the week i am free, i go to the gym during week days, minimum time away from home is 2/3 hours on week days. i have a fenced yard, and 2 cats that are good with dogs, and if not i always have extra room else ware around the house, i actively feed, and change little, take on walls daily.

About: Hi!! I have been caring for both dogs and cats since I was young, as we always had a variety of pets in my home growing up. I absolutely love animals, and I co-parent a lab mix with my long-distance boyfriend (the dog does not live with me). I work a 9–5, so I’m naturally organized, reliable, and great at communication — you’ll always feel informed and at ease while your fur baby is with me. I prefer to care for small to medium pets, and I love anything from walking and playing to simply relaxing in the house if that’s your pet’s vibe. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m already someone who thrives on structure, planning, and being active. I work a 9–5, but I can build in plenty of time before and after work for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. On weekends, I’m even more flexible, I love being out and about, so bringing a dog along for a walk, adventure, or cuddle day fits right into my lifestyle. Whether I’m in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so I can keep things consistent and stress free. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any quirky habits your pet loves. I keep spaces clean, give lots of affection, and send regular updates (including cute pics!) so you always know your fur baby is happy and well cared for. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, they get a cozy, calm space, plenty of snuggles, fun play sessions, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel like part of the family while they’re with me.

“Shane is awesome! He took great care of our 3 goldens and 4 cats. He was very good with Tank (our high maintenance dog) and was able to keep him calm and happy. We got daily photos and updates. I never worried. Shane is trustworthy and dependable. I think the dogs were upset when we got home as they were hoping it was Shane. Thank you for taking good care of everyone while we were away. We will always look to book Shane for our pet sitting needs.”

About: Travel Radius & Extended Service Area I’m happy to accommodate clients outside my standard service area and am open to traveling an additional 20–60 minutes for pet care requests. Please note that bookings requiring extended travel may be subject to adjusted rates to account for travel time, round-trip distance, gas expenses, vehicle wear and tear, and the time required to provide quality care during the visit. If you’re located outside my immediate area, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss availability and pricing! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with a variety of pets, including several breeds of dogs—especially golden retrievers—along with Siamese cats, parakeets, fish, rabbits, chickens, and even a chinchilla. As a child, I helped raise and care for litters of puppies when our family bred our two female golden retrievers, giving me early hands-on experience with newborn and young dogs. I am also no stranger to farm animals as well such as cows,pigs,chickens,geese and turkeys. Over the years, I’ve also owned three cats of my own, each with their own personality and needs. Most recently, I’ve spent the past year as a very proud goldendoodle mom to our sweet and spoiled Scooby Doo. My lifelong experience with so many different animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to read and respond to each pet’s unique temperament. Whether your furry (or feathered!) family member needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away or just checking in on them! Also I figured I might add that I know how to administer topical and oral medication if need to be and I have always vaccinated my own animals at home so I also know how to administer by needle if there is anything special I need to know about your pet. I work a full-time job morning shift Monday–Friday the hours are 6am to 2pm,Weekends are wide open and super flexible, which means plenty of time for walks, play, snuggles, and visits! Can do more mornings,afternoon or evening times on weekends except my end time is 9pm for Sundays cause of my work schedule. As I stated before if something comes up where you need something don't hesitate to ask me. I can always see if something can be worked out. If your pet has a specific routine or needs special timing, no worries—just let me know! I’m always happy to plan ahead and figure out what works best. Whether it’s drop-ins, evening hangs, or arranging a stay at our home, we can make it happen so your pet feels loved and cared for. Safety, Trust & Environment My family and I currently rent a cozy three-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom townhome with a back patio area and an open backyard. This space is where we take our dog for bathroom breaks, walks, and some outdoor play. Because the yard is not fenced, all pets are taken outside on a leash at all times for their safety. Pets that are fully house-trained or crate-trained are welcome to stay with us when needed. We also have a one-year-old goldendoodle who is very friendly and loves meeting new dogs. For any pet staying in our home, I always recommend a meet-and-greet so everyone—both animals and humans—can get comfortable and ensure a safe, positive interaction. Safety is always my top priority for every pet involved. For pets staying with us, a collar and leash are required for bathroom breaks and walks. Playtime will mostly take place indoors unless your pet enjoys and feels comfortable playing outside—I'm always happy to accommodate their preferences while keeping them safe. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat them with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine always come first. I also will send updates such as photos of videos of you pet or pets while in my care so you know how your fur baby or fur babies are doing at all times.

“Serena is an outstanding young lady and Winston, my dog, absolutely loved her. She sent me pictures daily and gave me an update of all the fun they were having. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have takin care of dogs since I was 11 have watched neighbors and friends dogs when they have need me for check ins and trips I am currently working part time looking for some extra things to do to stay busy while my kiddos are in school I enjoys animals I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in back yard as well I don’t have any dogs at this time

About: I grew up with dogs, and have had a dog most of adult life. I love spending time at the dog park close to my house. I am available all through the week. Available day or night. Rain or shine. Same day availability (in most cases) I'd love to spend some time with your best friend. I have a nice size 2 bedroom apartment, one bedroom is the dogs play room. I have a dog park close to my place, and have a lot of space around the apartment for walks.

About: This year, I rescued two kittens and cared for them from their earliest weeks — gaining their trust, nurturing them, and watching them grow into confident, loving cats has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Earning a cat’s comfort doesn’t happen overnight, and through patience, gentle interaction, and consistent care, I’ve learned just how important it is to meet each cat at their own pace. I understand body language, stress signals, and the importance of creating a calm environment where cats feel safe and seen. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or independent, I’m dedicated to treating them with the same love and patience I’ve given my own rescues. Skills I bring: • Experience nurturing rescued kittens into healthy adults • Trust-building through gentle interaction & positive reinforcement • Understanding feline body language + stress signals • Feeding schedules + hydration & enrichment awareness • Litter maintenance, grooming basics, and medication administration (if applicable) • Creating safe, calm spaces for anxious or shy cats • Play, enrichment, and quality bonding time I’m currently a senior in college taking classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and can adjust to mornings, afternoons, or evenings — whatever works best for you and your pet. Although my own pets are currently back home with my family while I’m away for school, I bring the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. When I’m caring for a client’s pet, I treat their routine and comfort as the priority — making sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease in their home environment. For dogs, I provide daily walks, exercise, and structured outdoor time to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. With sitting visits, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of affection, and stick to the routines they’re used to. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and energy levels, and I adapt to each pet’s personality — whether that means extra playtime, gentle reassurance, or calm companionship. What I include in care: • Regular walks & bathroom breaks • Feeding + water refresh • Enrichment + playtime based on energy level • Litter or waste cleanup & home tidiness • Routine-based comfort to reduce stress • Photo updates & communication for peace of mind • Administering medication (if true for you)

About: I got my first dog, Buster, when I was a year old and he was my absolute best friend for 14 years. I've taken care of dogs, as well as many other different species of animals, for nearly my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bath their furry family members while going on vacations, weekend getaways, or just working long hours. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies and was an extremely active member of my county's 4-H program. I worked in veterinary medicine for several years before branching out on my own. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat! I am the proud owner of Goofy Goldie Caravan, based out of Barnesville, Ohio. I travel to pet parents in the area for basic pet care needs. My services include nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleanings, walks/exercises, and drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard with 4 friendly dogs to keep everyone busy. I'm experienced in crate training and leash training and will be able to keep your pet safe at all costs.

About: Passionate dog enthusiast dedicated to spreading joy, one wagging tail at a time. With a heart full of love and a lifetime of canine companionship, I cherish every moment spent in the company of our loyal four-legged friends. Whether it's long walks in the park, cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, or simply sharing a moment of laughter and play, I'm committed to providing the happiest, healthiest, and most enriching experiences for dogs everywhere. Let's embark on this journey of unconditional love and boundless friendship together! I am currently free for any time/schedule at the moment! This may change in the future but I’ll be sure to let you know if it does I have 4 AussieDoodles and an Umbrella Cockatoo, so there is no shortage of company for your pet in my home! All of my pets are super friendly with other pets!
