Dog Sitting in Northwood

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!

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

“Thank you Chloe for the early morning visit! Chloe also came over to get my key and meet the cats before the official visit. There were a couple last minute changes to their care, so I appreciated the flexibility!”

“Renée took such good care of all my babies! She sent lots of pictures and played with all of them at least a little. She even sent pics of our grouchy senior cat screaming for her food, as one does when you're a 13 year old cat. I was so happy with the care that Renée provided for both dogs and my gaggle of pocket pets as well! I've never felt better about having someone look in on my pets.”

Kendra L.

“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!”

Kiera E.

“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: 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.

“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: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

About: I’m an elementary teacher looking to spend my extra time caring for animals this summer! I’ve had many different experiences watching dogs and cats over the years. From puppies to senior dogs, I have watched dogs for weeks at a time, or just taken them on walks. I’m also part of the facility dog program at my school and have been trained to work with our dog there! I hope you consider me to care for your pet, I can assure you they would be well loved! Since I’m a teacher, I have my summers off! I’m typically busier on weekends, but I have a very flexible schedule. I’m open to discussing what your needs are to see if I can work it in! I do not currently offer services for pets in my home, however when I'm caring for pets in a client's home I follow any instructions they may have. This pertains to any animal I care for.

About: Hi! My name is Jayden and my wife Lisa and I are excited to care for your pup like they’re part of our family. Lisa works from home and I work a hybrid schedule, so there will almost always be someone home with your dog to give them attention, supervision, and plenty of love throughout the day. We also have 2-year-old twins who absolutely love dogs and are used to being around them. We always make sure interactions are gentle, safe, and fun for everyone. We have a 1-year-old King Charles Spaniel named Redford who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around to play with. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, we live in a great neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. Your pup will get at least two long walks every day, plus as many potty breaks as they need. We love getting outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with us! I am completely free on the weekends. Happy to do drop in visits or walks. I am also free during the evenings and during lunch hours on Wednesday and Friday. Let me know what schedule will work well for your pet. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I will make sure to give them the love and attention that they need and carefully look over your instructions to make sure they are properly cared for.

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: 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.

“Sadey was great, fitting us into her schedule on short notice and ensuring Dot had a fantastic evening playing! She sent us a sweet update showing Dot looking happy and having a great time. We will be reaching out again soon!”

“Kellie did great with Cooper. She even came over twice in one day so I could enjoy a day away. In our initial meetup, she asked all the right questions.”
