Dog Sitting Northwood

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and I have experience taking care of a wide variety of pets. I grew up with multiple dogs and I currently care for 1 dog and 4 cats. My family has owned many pets from fish to reptiles so I’m comfortable with different types of animals and personalities! Im currently working during the day/evening in the week so my availability is primarily in the early mornings. My work schedule may vary, so I could have additional availability on certain days off. I always make sure my own pets have consistent feeding schedules and fresh water every day. I also make sure to give them extra attention when needed!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and family.I also have experience volunteering at a local Cat Cafe. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I always do my best to follow their normal routines and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while in my care! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m happy to coordinate visits around my classes and make time for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any household rules. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a little more space. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own.

“Samantha was great with communication and pictures. We had a last minute request which Samantha was very flexible with and will absolutely be adding Samantha into our normal rotation of Rovers when we travel. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Kandra! I grew up on a farm so I've been around animals my whole life! My family has always had cats and dogs at all stages of their life and in various health conditions, so I've seen it all. More recently I've had experience puppy sitting for my brother and dog sitting for my sister on a number of occasions. I understand the love that you have for your furry companions and will treat them with the same love and care. I just moved to Toledo to be closer to family! I'm hoping to dog walk part-time during weekdays. I can do early mornings (starting at 7:30am), lunch breaks, and afternoons. I offer 30 minute walks, up to 1 hour long walks through the neighborhood or nearby parks. Also 30 minute drop ins for potty breaks, feeding, and play time while you are away or at work! I really value making sure you and your dog are as comfortable as possible. I'm more than happy to adhere to any specifications, adjustments, and needs for your pet specifically to make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed under my care!

“Emily was absolutely incredible! She was so attentive to my kitty and gave me super consistent details on her daily behaviors. It’s evident that she’s been a pet owner her whole life, she’s an absolute natural. I can’t wait to keep using Emily in the future to watch my girl.”

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! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) 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.

“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 have had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for around 10 years! I’ve cared for high energy breeds such as GSPs, senior dogs, behaviorally-difficult dogs, and everything in between. I am a graduate student with a rather flexible schedule. Other than a 2-hour obligation on Friday afternoons, I am able to make time for pets when they need it. I do not offer care in my own home but I do provide it in the pet’s home. I find that pets are more comfortable in their own space and often adjust better when going about their routine with someone else if they remain in a familiar environment. I follow instructions for entering and exiting (garage vs. front door, key vs. code, checking-in on camera system, etc.), ensure all pets are safely secured in the home before leaving, and follow any explicit instructions left for me. I do my very best to ensure the pet’s routine is followed thoroughly.

“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!”

About: I work as a grooming technician and have an educational background in animal and veterinary science through NSTC, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and basic health knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’ve also done training work with reactive dogs, so I’m confident managing structured walks and helping dogs feel secure. In addition to sitting and walking, I can provide light grooming services such as nail trims, bath and brush, and sanitary trims upon request. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on building trust so pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I work part-time in the pet care field, so animal care is already a regular part of my daily routine. My schedule allows flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I have strong weekend availability. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable. I provide care in my client’s home and prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress handling. As a grooming technician, I work hands-on with dogs every day and am very comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach to keep pets calm. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs, so I’m especially patient and aware during walks and new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and can crate if needed. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being always come first.

“Mary Beth was great! She pilled the cat who needed it, as well as coaxing him to eat, played with all of them and kept us extremely well informed.”

About: I started off by helping my mom when she did boarding at her house, then I worked my way to doing it on my own. I've had pets my whole life and I do animal care constantly at my school. I also have been a volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society since 2023! I've had experience with all kinds of animals, from hermit crabs to english mastiffs! I'm always willing to learn new things and get to know each animal individually. I work part time and go to school, so I might be too busy for pets that need a lot of attention or a strict schedule. I want what's best for your pet, so I will be very open with you about my schedule to make sure it works with your expectations! I make sure to send pictures of your pets while you're away! I absolutely love affectionate animals no matter the size, but I will also respect your pet's space if they're not so cuddly. I always ask questions when I have them, so you don't have to worry about me overfeeding or giving them the wrong treat!

“Chloe was amazing with our kitties! We got plenty of updates and cute photos, and we came home to happy and healthy cats. They were loved and felt perfectly safe and calm with our sitter. Highly recommended, Chloe will make sure your pets are well taken care of while you are away with no worries!”

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.

“Stephanie was fantastic with our dog. Her messages are detailed and she is very responsive. Our dog was having some issues with her paws and she took great care of her. I highly recommend Stephanie.”

Amy P.

“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!”

“Annabelle did a great job checking on the cats. She made friends with Walter. Dexter and Woolly Bear were not seen, which doesn't surprise me.”

“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!!”

“This was our first time using Suzanne and the Rover app. I was really pleased with how things went. Getting the daily feedback and pictures helped me relax and not worry about my cats while on vacation! One of my scaredy cats even started to warm up to her! We will use her again!”
