About: I started in the pet industry in 1999. I managed for Jacks Aquarium & Pets for 10 years. I was the livestock manager at Feeders Supply Fairborn. I also train Horses professionally and have been a member of the local dog obedience club. In addition to extensive training experience, I have a lot of medical experience and have no problem taking care of special needs animals. Also happy to sit for livestock and exotics. I train Horses full-time so my schedule is extremely flexible because I can book on days that are free. Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate. I provide safe positive compassionate handling. Pets in my care are happier and better handled when they leave me than when they began. Let me help you and your pet connect.

About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I am a full time student and work full time at UDRI (UD's Research Institute) from 8:30am - 3:30am. During the summer I won't be taking any in person classes, just two online. But when I return to UD for my final year, I will be taking classes again and may be slightly more limited. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!

“Britany was wonderful. She was available very last minute and took good care of our 3 cats and was even willing to feed a community cat that shows up. We would hire her again if needed.”

Linda J.

“We are so happy to have found Brooke! We had to be away for the day a few days after our senior dog had surgery and Brooke came to check on the pups while we were gone. She was very attentive to the senior dogs needs and the other two were really happy to get some snuggles with her.”

“Kathelyn came in clutch when my original plan fell through and she took great care of my baby!”

“A kind, communicative, and thorough pet sitter. She did a great job with my cat’s drop-in visits during the week and I had no issues. Attentive and did what I asked plus more! I’d recommend Heavyn-Ley.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs and cats my entire adult life. I currently actively train my dogs at a local Kennel Club and specialize in deaf dog training. I currently own an embroidery shop and work part time. I work my dogs and take care of my kiddos outside of that time. I always enjoy working dogs and helping others. I have a privacy fenced in yard and am able to use my own transportation to pet sit as well. I am primarily available on weekends but feel free to send me any questions.

“Joanna has been an amazing addition to our lil family knowing we can leave and our babies will be taken care of just as we would treat them. It’s been nice while on vacation not worrying about our babies.”

Amie K.

“This was a short notice booking, and i'm very grateful she did a lovely job with the dogs.I came home and the dogs were sacked on the couch comfy and fed.”

Tracy C.

“Abby is one of a kind! Our usual sitter was unavailable due to the holiday and we had to find someone last minute (I may have procrastinated a bit). Abby was more than willing to do so and was amazing at it! On time, great care of all pets and even filled out humidifier when it was running low! We will definitely recommend and be using Abby again!”

P. Myles V.

“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all kinds—Labs, Pitbulls, Huskies, French Bulldogs and more—and have personally trained each of them. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, and I treat every dog like my own while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now—I have a very open and flexible schedule over the next few months while preparing for a move. This allows me to provide consistent attention, frequent check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day and night. “I prioritize a safe, structured, and stress-free environment for every pet. I closely follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep things consistent. I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including high-energy and strong dogs, and always maintain control on walks and during interactions. I can crate if needed and ensure a clean, secure environment at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I have a great deal of experience giving medication, both liquid and pills to cats and dogs. I am also open to more than just cats and dogs! I have cared for birds, reptiles, frogs, fish, and more. I’m currently working 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. I understand if this does not work for your pets needs, but I assure you I deeply enjoy caring for animals and your pets are a priority to me. It would be amazing to be able to support myself pet sitting, you can help me achieve that! I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.

About: After having worked in a veterinary office and years of pet sitting, I believe I can provide excellent care for your dog so you won't have to worry. I am able to provide house visits throughout the day, frequent walks, and some play time. I am aware of dog habits, training, and social interactions allowing for me to be aware of what the dog is meaning or wanting. I am physically fit, so I look forward to taking your dog on walks or runs and having a fun play day. Also I am not afraid to provide any bathing or special care your pup may need while you are away. I look forward to speaking with you and having a great time with your pup!! Having a dog myself that had some particular health issues, I am very familiar with the need to having someone who cares and knows what they are doing when taking care of my pet and therefore I supply the same amount of time, care and patience to others pets as well. I am very particular about my own home and therefore treat others homes the same. And if possible leave it better than how I found it. I make sure everything is cleaned up and ready for when the owners return.

“Great communication and thorough updates. Showed up when she said and stayed the entire time. Would fully trust her with my puppy again anytime and recommend her to any friends.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I worked in a veterinary office as a vet assistant for around 5 years. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages sizes and lifestyles and can assist with any type of medical needs they may have! I’m currently a stay at home mom, I have a lot of free time that I would love to fill by loving on your pets! I can take dogs on walks, drop in to check on them, let them out, play with them, snuggle them, feed them, administer medication, I can also drop in and check on cats, feed them, administer medication, play with them and snuggle them! Anything your pets need, I can be there to help keep them happy and healthy 😊 I have a fenced in yard, 3 dogs and a cat of my own who love to make new friends, I do have a young daughter. The dogs get tons of snuggles and love and sleep in the bed at night, I’m also more than happy to crate dogs who feel more comfortable in their own space!
