About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

“Extremely responsive to any and all communication. Informative, adaptive, and thorough. Upon my ring camera footage, I can tell my doggo loves the walks with Bridgette. I am very pleased start to finish with her work and dedication to my dogs safety and comfort. I will continue to book and I suggest you do too!”

About: 10 years experience is just how long since I’ve started getting paid to Pet Sit but my experience goes back since a child with our family pets, then my own little family as an adult always included our pets. I have experience with puppies and elderly doggies. I am currently not working so very open and flexible to all days and times. I plan to do Pet sitting/care part-time at first but am hoping it works out to be able to do more on a full-time basis. At this time I am not open to Pet sitting in my home as my apartment is small and I live with my teenage son and his dog lives with us who is territorial.

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

“Maya had a quick response for a short notice request. Seemed like my dog enjoyed himself too. Thanks!”

About: Even as a baby I have always been around animals, and when I started to crawl and sit up my first playmates was a grey rescue cat and a old rottweiler. As I grew up I became more of a animal lover, showing no fear believing that every animal deserve love and to be treated right I currently do not have a job besides helping watching my niece once in awhile, while my parents are at work and I will soon being enrolling in college part time I live on a 160 acre farm, with open fields, a lake and plenty of space to play. A very long drive way, so it there will always be distance between us and a main road. I also have three pug-chihuahua of my own, who will either love to play with your pet or simply just leave them be, the dogs are fine with cats, seeing as I have two of my own, the cats will hide at first until they know your pet better. And lastly I have a rabbit who is shy and curious. None have any of my animals have ever been aggressive and all my cats and dogs are fixed. But if needed I can separate and crate your pet if needed.

“Ashlee was prompt, dependable and really good with our Hunny! Thanks so much for your help!”

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

“Was on time. Friendly. Great at handling a larger dog.”

About: I have been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was younger! I have helped not only my family but also my friends and other pet owners! I have learned over time what certain pets need and I am ready to learn more if needed! I will continue to keep my availability up to date every week when my work schedule comes out. Sometimes when I work it will be from 12pm-11pm so I would not be able to stay there all day. I’ll make sure to put that in my availability, and if that’s not a problem with you just send me a message and we can figure something out! Also, if I know in advance about any pet sitting, I’m able to get days off, so keep that in mind! I am able to do any care that you need in your own home! I am unable to pet sit at my house for the time being but I am working on it!

About: Hi y'all my name is Halie and I have loved animals my entire life. I grew up with a Black Lab named Jasmine (like the princess from Aladdin, obviously lol) and when she crossed over the rainbow bridge my mom got Maggie. Maggie was a rescue and a GSD mix. She was very spunky, a little wild and full of snuggles. When I left Ohio in 2013 and moved across the country I had to say goodbye to my childhood dog which left a hole in my heart. A few short months after settling in Houston, TX I adopted my sweet Coco who is a Black Mouth Cur mix. She is very snuggly, and full of life but has terrible separation anxiety. Shortly after adopting her I started working at a pet resort where she would come to work with me and get to hang out in doggy daycare with all of her friends while I managed the front desk for 2 years. Fast forward a few years & two moves we are currently in Beaver Falls, PA. I am well versed with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have taken care of dogs who have undergone TPLO surgery, I have given diabetic dogs their shots and have administered other types of medications as well. I would love the opportunity to get to know your dogs and love on them when you are not home. I am currently a SAHM with a daughter who just started Kindergarten so my schedule is fairly open for any of your needs. I am currently a stay at home mom of 1 daughter who recently started Kindergarten. I'm available from around 9am until 3:00 when she gets off the bus. I am free Monday-Friday and occasional weekends if needed. I do not offer in home care but in a clients home I will follow any of the instructions they give me. Wether it is taking your babies on a walk to go potty or playing fetch with them in the yard. I am well versed in medication management and have dealt with 2 dogs who have had TPLO surgeries.

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

About: I am 23 & have owned and worked with many dogs and cats over the course of 4-5 years. Each animal has its own unique personality, traits, and quirks that make them special. Which is what I love about them so much! I work full time at a doggy daycare and have been for the past 2 years! It’s amazing getting to be around so many different dogs each day, I learn something new every day I understand different dogs have different needs, and different owners have different needs for their pets as well. Will do everything to keep the pet as happy and comfortable as possible while it’s people are away

About: I have always been the go-to that assured you pet would be safe while you were on vacation or even just at work!! I realized that was what I want to do with my life. It thrills me to care for my own fur babies as much as someone else's!! I am honest, dependable, and most of all trustworthy! I have been talking care of animals since I was 9 years old. I usually would do stay in visits, however, when I was older and had transportation I was able to do stop in visits. I am able to assist with training puppies and I have experience with seniors as well. I currently work a part time job and my hours are very flexible. I will be available for your pets needs throughout the entire day! I have a fenced in area with a large covered porch which is safe from all elements. Outside the fence our yard is 2 acres with plenty of room to play! Also, close by we have a dog park if the parent wishes for the pup to have a more interactive day!

About: I have taken care of dogs and pets many times I have stayed overnight for people in their houses. I have trained puppies and taken care of senior pets including ones that have needed medication. I volunteer once a week at a dog shelter. I am currently employed but have plenty of free time on the weekends and afternoon/evenings. I am able to care for dogs in my own home or at their home. I live in a house. My yard is not fenced in but I can put a dog on a lead that I have or take them out on a leash. I can also care for a dog in their own home. I can crate any dog if needed.

About: I’ve pet-sat for friends and family since I was 16. I have experience with walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes! I grew up with pets always in my family, and am very comfortable meeting new fur-friends! I work a full-time job, but I am available on evenings and weekends! I am very communicative and would love to be up front about finding the best time to make your life easier! My main priority is retaining your trust. I am dependable and understanding of your preferences for your pets, and will do my best to accommodate to ensure your pet is in the best of hands while you are away! Communication is critical, and I will make it my main promise to be responsive and respectful of your space.

About: Hello! My name is Tabatha Garman, I am the sole owner and operator of Special Paws Pet Care and a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). As a veterinary technician, I play the nurse role of the veterinary team. I graduated from Kent State University with my Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology in May of 2021 and am currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Integrated Studies focused in animal behavior. While in school for my technician license, I gained various hands-on skills with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds, horses, snakes, and much more. Outside of school, I have trained at numerous veterinary hospitals and gained vital experience in CPR and emergency response. My personal experience caring for animals expands far beyond my education and career, as I have cared for my own, family's, and friend's pets my entire life. As previously mentioned, I have a vast range of experience with different species from small pocket pets and reptiles to large and farm animals. I love working with nearly any species, especially pigs and cows! My medication administration skills are just as vast, including giving various types of injections and fluids, oral pill and liquid administration, topical applications, etc. Any pets with special needs are assured to be taken care of! Specializing in animal behavior, those with unique personalities or who are a bit grumpy or naturally prefer alone time are some of my favorite to work with. I love working to understand them and win them over and am happy to try to work with any type of disposition or behavioral challenges. No job is too big or small. Whether you have a pet that needs daily medication, help getting around, and extra special care, or just want to feel comforted knowing that your furry family member is in great hands, I am happy to care for any and all of them. I am currently dedicating my time to in-home pet care while going to school full-time online, so I am free to fit your pet into my schedule however you may need. While I do personalize my schedule to fit your pet specifically, my typical day is scheduled like this and changed as needed, just to give you a better idea of your pet's time with me: When I arrive, I always spend time making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and has everything they need. When staying with them overnight, I will keep them company until morning, make sure they have everything they need and get some pets or playtime in, then I will leave as needed to tend to any other appointments, making sure to return to check-in and spend time with them at minimum every 3-4 hours, unless more frequently is needed. Whether you just need a daily check in and play time for your cat while you're away, or if you need someone to take your pup out every couple of hours along with walks and lots of play time, or even if you have an older pup who can't really spend time alone at all, we can definitely make a plan to suit your family purrr-fectly. Your pet's safety is always my top priority. Whether at home, in the car, at the vet, out for a walk, or at the park, I am always extremely diligent to make sure your pet stays safe and sound. I always use doggy seatbelts or enclosures when driving, reflective strips and flashlights at night, ramps and manual assistance for mobility-challenged pups, predator-deterrent to protect them from harm, and vet-approved chews or boredom busters to make sure your pup is happier and healthier when you arrive back home. Out of an abundance of caution, I typically do not have pets I'm watching interact with other pets I'm unfamiliar with (ie: no communal dog parks). In the case that anything does happen while I am with them, I am trained on the safest and most effective way to stop a dog fight, as well as being trained in CPR, emergency triage and response, and homeostatic stabilization. I also always have a list of the nearest emergency hospitals on hand should they ever be needed. I strive to follow all pet-parent's wants and needs for their pets, including whatever training or rules you may have for your pet while they are in my care (crating, treats, toys, etc). If there are any additional safety measures you would like to discuss, just let me know!
