Dog Sitting Northwood

About: I have an Alaskan malamute so dog hair don't care. And dog walks are like a period in a sentence. I'd love to meet more doggies. I am currently the driver of my family but I can fit whatever you need into my schedule to always be there to help out. I clean litter boxes regularly in my own home and change water filters on the water fountains my cats have. I take my dog for walks whenever he wants to go.

“Was very communicative and responsive especially after a last minute booking. My cats are scared of everyone but not of her. 10/10”

About: I have helped care for multiple dogs of varying sizes, ages, and breeds. One of my three current dogs is a female Great Dane that I have helped raise since she was just 2 months old! Another one of my current dogs is 12 years old, pushing 13, so I have a lot of experience taking care of elderly animals. In fact, I do not think there has ever been a point in which I have not had a pet in my life! I have three days that are full of classes during the week, as well as a part time job that sends my schedule out weekly. Generally, I can pet sit on weekends, Mondays in the afternoon, and some Fridays. I have the entirety of Ohio State’s campus to explore, as well as some local public parks! While sitting in the past, I have tried to stick to one room as to not invade privacy or let the pet get out of my sight.

“Always great communication and willing to a few extras when you schedule is a little haywire. Easy to work with and Lucy is very calm upon our return so we know she is feeling comfy with Chloe. Attention to detail and cleanliness are other factors we love. Will continue to request her services for Lucy as we travel.”

“Chelsea was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and gave great updates. One of our cats usually gets really stressed when we’re away, but he was so happy and relaxed this time with her checking in. I’m so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”

“Hallejia was great! Prompt daily visits with pics and comments on how my dog was doing. I will definitely use her again for pet care if she is available.”

About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, well-trained pups. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I am also well versed in the care of our smaller companions such as birds, reptiles, rodents, ferrets and rabbits to name a few. I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans, although it would also need to work with my work schedule. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first so I'm sure we can work something out. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.

“Stephanie took great care of my dog. I appreciated the outstanding communication. Peace of mind while we were away. We will be booking Stephanie again.”

“Lauren was awesome to work with, she was reliable and sent daily pictures that made me feel so much better about being away. We will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life since majority of my family members have them. I used to have the responsibility of feeding and providing potty breaks for my grandparents dog. Now I have a cat of my own. I’m currently working full time, so I typically only have Thursday-Saturday to look after your pets. More than happy to try and make any time work for those days! As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. Having cared for my own cat and looked after animals for many years, I know how to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs and routine.

About: Pre vet student, who cares for animal well-being. Years of experience with dogs, cats, and horses. I have had a pet all my life. I am open all days of the week, plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am home everyday and taking care of my dog and can do the same for you. I have one dog at home, there is a fenced in yard for him. I am a very flexible person when it comes to how pets are taken care of. Will follow any instructions given about your pet.

“Natalie was great! Kept great communication before and during her visits. Really grateful she was able to check on the cats and the house for us!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again!”

“Jennifer has been amazing! She's done an excellent job working with my reactive dog - she's patient, strong and kind which has been the perfect blend. She goes the extra mile, putting the care of my clingy little buddy a top priority!!”

About: I've loved animals since a child I would bring animals home to my mother And father and rescue animals they are so precious to me I'm currently working as an entrepreneur I own my own businesses so my time is as flexible as is needed you always have time for the things you love to do I have a fenced yard and plenty of room in my home just let me know your requirements I am sure that I can work with pretty much anyone

About: I have had dogs as a family pet since 2008. Currently have 2 dogs who are very loved and spoiled to death 😊 I started off dog sitting for a family member in 2019 with a senior dog, and then a puppy a couple years later. I have also house/pet sit for a family friend for the past few years as well. They have 4 dogs (ranging from 15 lbs to 100+ lbs) and 3 cats. I have a good rapport with both groups and can provide references if needed! I also have experience with sitting a 1 cat household as well for one of my friends. In my household, my sisters and I have potty-trained and skill-trained every one of our family pets (we have had 4 now). I have experience with giving pets medications as they need following the owner’s specific instructions. Lastly, I have walked dogs of all kinds of sizes (miniature pinscher all the way to a Great Pyrenees). I look forward to helping you with your pet needs!! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm. I work at a pretty lenient place that gives me lunch breaks up to an hour and a half long, so in the past if a pet I have watched needs a potty break midday, I can go back on my lunch break to do so. I have availability after getting off from this job as well, so I can accommodate to late nights as well. I don’t work weekends there so I have pretty much open availability every weekend. 😊 I currently live at home with my parents and sisters, so I do not offer pet sitting at my home at this time. I have pet sat for people in different home styles (apartment, single-level home with small yard, two-story home with big yard). I have always followed every owner’s instructions and rules to a T. Every owner has loved my care with their pets and continues to put their trust in me to this day. I have several references that I can provide if needed!

About: Hi! I’m currently a student at UT and have a passion for taking care of animals. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and have a history of fostering and caring for puppies / kittens and dog sitting. I have a flexible schedule and love including critters in my active lifestyle! I am currently an engineer student with very flexible hours. I can be available most days at varying times, if needed multiple times a day. Along with my history of owning pets I also have experience working with adults with special needs, while very different areas of expertise I have worked in my field for over 4 years building rapport with people and earning trust within the company I work for. I have experience in care giving, bio hazard, and cleaning. I take pride in giving the care that I want my pets, and friends and family to have.

About: My experience: I love all animals and have experience with a variety of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, and rabbits. There's no dog or cat I don't want to pet and play with! Through a past job I had to interact with a lot of dogs in people's homes and I am good about making them feel calm and earning their trust. I have trained three puppies in my life (Mae, Rosie and Luna). I also do well with cats, even difficult ones. My family adopted a stray cat (Maggie) - She was a bit aggressive and never warmed up to anyone in the house but me. I had a bearded dragon (Lizardie McLizardton) in my twenties. He never seemed to like people much, but he tolerated me and it was fun to make him elaborate large play houses. I understand how small animals have different needs than cats and dogs. I currently have a Bunny (Bernie). I give him a nice comfortable place to live and lots of play time. I've been able to earn his trust over time and he even grooms my head from time to time. Schedule*: Daytime: I am almost always available to do a walk or drop-in during the day on weekdays. Mornings: Usually available for walks and drop-ins after 9-10am Evenings and weekends: My schedule varies, but I am often available on evenings and weekends. *If I'm house sitting, I will make myself available for the times your pet needs. In your home I can make sure your pet feels comfortable. I am patient and I am conscious of things that may agitate them. I am unable to board a pet at this time.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, and high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and patience. My schedule is pretty flexible, and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and just spending time with animals throughout the day. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I always make sure pets are safe, secure, and comfortable. I treat your home with the same respect as my own and your pets with the same love I give mine.
