House Sitting in Orchard Island

“Kelly is amazing! She stayed with our pup (who is recovering from surgery) while we went on vacation, and gave her the best care and more! She is very communicative and shared great photos while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone, especially if you have a “needy” dog or if you’re a worry-wart dog mom like me :)”

“Laura did an amazing job caring for our two dogs in our home for a week! She went above and beyond playing with them and even helping take care of the house while we were away!”

Lauren F.

“Our 1 year old dog had a lot of fun with Willow, Maggie’s dog, while we were away. We received pictures everyday and she kept us updated on the little things. She’ll definitely be sitting for us again!”

Hannah K.

“Our first time using Rover and Kim and we are pleased. She kept in touch with us and updated us with pics. The boys did well with her. Will be repeat customers.”

Andrea C.

“Amber was fantastic with my new puppy. She went above and beyond working with him on training skills. I was able to be away and not worry. She sent pictures and kept in touch. I highly recommend Amber and will continue to book her to watch my dog.”

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets—both my own and those of happy clients. I currently work in a veterinary clinic and am studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, so you can trust that your furry friends are in knowledgeable and loving hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or snuggles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8–6, but I’m available for pet care after work and on my days off. I always receive my schedule a month in advance, so I can plan and let you know exactly when I’m free. Some weeks I work more than two days, but I make sure to fit pet care around my shifts. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and handle any special needs like medications. I also keep the space tidy and send updates so you know they’re happy and safe.

“Devan was very conscientious and bonded very well with my Bella. He kept me updated and sent pics. Highly recommend!!”

About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.

“Highly recommend Amy! Plenty of pictures & videos! Great communication! Dogs were happy & healthy! The house was even clean when we returned! Couldn’t ask for a better a sitter for my pups! Will be using Amy again!”

“Abigale was great! She stayed at our house for over 10 days to watch our English Mastiff, Meera, and our short-haired cat, Starlord. Abigale took great care of our animals, giving us picture updates regularly. We will definitely be using her again. A helpful tip for anyone interested in the 'House Sitting' service: On top of the Rover fee, we offered to provide a fully stocked fridge and pantry with items of her request. We also tipped her for the care she provided. These are not required, however, it does seem like something that should at least be offered to the sitter.”

About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.

About: I have had some sort of pet most of my life! I've had birds, fish, hamsters, dogs and cats. I can potty train puppies too!! I can make my schedule flexible to fit the needs of your pet(s). I currently have 2 dogs and a cat at home but my son can take care of them if I need to travel. I will do everything I can to adhere to your current pets schedule such as feeding times and amounts as well as walks and/or yard play time!

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I've personally had three dogs in my home while growing up. I have had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and frogs as well. I currently have four cats in my care and have taken care of other people's dogs. I am currently in school, gaining my certifications for pet boarding. I am looking to take care of animals in the morning and occasional weekends. I am open to caring for your animals in their home, I am not able to house animals at my own house or stay overnight at the moment.

About: I have taken care of my friends dogs and absolutely love taking care of animals. Enjoy having them around the house. I am very friendly and my dog Poppy gets along with others. I am currently working full-time through the school year. I have my summers off Starting in June. So will have more time in the summer and fall. Will have some in the winter. I have a fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play. I also can crate if needed as well. My back yard is big so plenty of room to run.

About: I’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them. At one point in time I took care of 7 new born kittens after they were thrown out and abandoned from their mother, I used to live on a farm and took care of farm animals from sun up till sun down, and now I have so much free time I don’t know what to do with it haha

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.
