“Jamie is awesome. She's been super-patient with my geriatric dogs and is trustworthy and flexible. I would recommend Jamie highly to anyone who is looking for in-home help for their animals!”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!

About: I’ve helped take care of several dogs, mainly my grandpa’s dog ever since I was a kid. From walking, to feeding, to cuddling, I’m happy to help look after your pets while you’re away. I work full time during the school year (9-4) but have more free time on the weekends! I have full availability June - Mid August, so don’t hesitate to ask if it’s outside of my normal hours in summer! I try to treat my pets with the best care! I currently have two cats. They are regularly fed, played with and snuggled at home. I do my best to keep a clean litter box and clean up after pups.

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I am used to taking my two dogs on walks every evening and am comfortable with giving pets medication. I have watched pets of all sizes and ages and believe my flexible schedule would make me the perfect pet sitting candidate. I am a homebody and love spending extra time with your pet when I’m available to do so! I have my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am available at almost anytime of the day and can easily work from home (weekends may vary). I have two dogs of my own, so I am used to a strict pet schedule as far as feeding, potty breaks, play time, etc. I am also used to sleeping with dogs and walking/playing with them regularly.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 2 years old! I’ve also worked with animals since I was 19 at several animal shelters, animal hospitals, and boarding places! I don’t currently have a car of my own to drive, which is why my pet care schedule is the way it is! I will be able to drive to see your pets when I have a car available to me which is Friday-Sunday, anytime after 12pm! I can drop in to give your fur babies much needed love and potty breaks! A fenced in yard is preferred so that there is plenty of room to play with your pup! However, I will gladly take your pup on a nice brisk walk if you don’t have a fenced in yard!

“Kate took excellent care of our fur babies while we were away! They loved her drop in visits and fall walks and the photos show just how much fun they were having. We'll definitely use her again for future trips!”


About: I've been a dog owner and lover for 30 years. Growing up my parents raised and breed AKC Golden Retrievers and I helped and learned so much then. Dog's love me and I love them back! I am pet and house sitting full time.I currently live in Oberlin Ohio. I enjoy outdoor walks pretty often and miss going to the dog park. With love and attention. Body language is very good way of knowing how a pet is feeling. Rewarding good behavior is the easiest part of the job.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and horses since I was a child. I provide loving and specialized Care for all of your animals needs. From infancy to geriatric. I will make sure that your animal receives the care it deserves. I am a 54-year-old grandmother raising my grandchild. I'm a full-time painter and need exercise and stimulation outside of the house. Pet care fits perfectly into my life at the current time. I believe that each animal needs individual care and that no blanket care system is appropriate. Every animal is different and every animal has its own personality and set of needs. I am capable of giving medicine and changing dressings. I specialize in dogs with challenging behaviors such as dog aggression and excitability.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have cared for dogs of all sizes as well as cats. It’s not a job it’s a passion. I am full time active duty in the military so my schedule varies I work essentially a firefighter type schedule so schedule will be custom with each client. On my days off I will be available all day. I am able to travel for my clients. I am patient and enjoy pets. My care will be honest and done with integrity and be authentic.

About: I've been around animals since I was a kid. I had two Rottweilers while I was growing up, and currently have a Pit Mix. I have experience taking care of cats as well as dogs such as Samoyeds and Chihuahuas, and mixed breeds I would love to take care of your pets as well as run, walk, and play with them! No need to worry about leaving your pet with me! Enjoy your night out or your vacation, your pet and I will have a blast spending time together! I currently work part time around 15 hours or more a month as I am pursuing a degree in nursing. I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My dog has plenty of room to room around our yard and it is no fenced as she knows her property lines and where not to go.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule! I’m available weekdays from early mornings through early evenings. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to spend my summer giving dogs the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: Hey there! My name is Dorottya. I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid and I always seem to be a pet magnet when I visit my friends, they just can't get enough of my cuddles. I've also been known to talk and sing to animals, it makes them happy and sooths them. I believe that creating a comfortable and caring environment while pet owners are away will help bridge the gap between the times they will be together again. No one wants a sad puppy or kitty while pet parents are away. My main options on here are for house sitting and dog walking. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so I have a medical background. I work full-time on my own business and typically leave a couple days open to my rover clients. I'm currently working on my own business, and I'm available to pet sit and dog walk a couple days a week from 9 am to overnight when needed. I respect the homes of my clients when pet sitting, or dog walking. I love to tailor the day to fit the individual pet's needs and their schedules for feedings, medications (if pet is taking them), potty, and activities (play time or walking).
