About: I live in a neighborhood surrounded by beautiful woods and walking trails. Walking dog on the trails is one of my favorite things to do. With a big back yard and a caring therapy dog at home, together with my enthusiasm for puppy training, you can trust me on keeping your puppy safe, entertained, and well trained while you are saving the world! I’m currently not working so I can devote every minute to this wonderful dog sitting job. Your dog will never get bored with me. My very active life style makes me a perfect sitter for puppies and dogs who need a lot of exercise! Dogs are allowed to freely walk around in the house. I always make sure to leash them when we go explore the world outside. The walking trails in my neighborhood are well paved and safe.

“Took great care of our crazy pup!”

“Kerriann did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby Star for the day. She responded quickly when I needed someone at the last minute and has a friendly dog of her own to keep Star company. I would definitely recommend ??”

About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m an attorney who works from home most days, which allows me to offer a very flexible and attentive schedule. My husband is also an attorney and is happy to help in the evenings and on weekends when needed. We have one dog, Dela, who has a very easygoing, type-B personality and does great with other animals and children. I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been house-sitting and pet-sitting for over 12 years and now do so simply because I truly enjoy providing pets with calm, reliable, and loving care while their owners are away. You may notice a brief break in my Rover activity—this was during a few years when I lived in Virginia. I moved back to Ohio in 2025 and am excited to be offering pet care here again. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injections, and carefully following any care instructions your pet may need. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. References are available upon request, and I’m always happy to answer questions, hop on a phone call or FaceTime, or set up a meet-and-greet! I work from home most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. Even then, I’m never gone for extended periods. My flexible schedule allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, meals, playtime, and companionship, and I’m always able to work around occasional meetings. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I carefully follow all care instructions, provide regular check-ins and updates, and try to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

“Our puppy kip seemed to have a great time with Veronica and thankfully came home tired. It was easy to coordinate with Veronica and she took into account all the requests we had.”

“Vainy helped us out with short notice and did an outstanding job! She sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs seemed very happy when I picked them up. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again!”

“Maria took our dogs out for a walk. She communicated through pictures and details of their enjoyment. We so appreciate the break for the dogs while we were not able to be home. Would recommend and will use again!”

About: What sets me apart from others sitters is the unconditional love that I have for animals in plural, the space they have in my heart. I’m mostly at home, I’m in my second trimester of pregnancy, and I’m most of the time alone because my husband works. Here to help. I just moved to a new apartment and the environment is very friendly, is comfortable, and very peaceful. I speak English and Spanish. Everyone’s welcome.

“The absolute best! They loved our fur baby like their own. Loved the photo updates and the sweetest girls to play with her! Very responsive and I almost want to keep her a secret just to be selfish. Looking forward to booking again!”

My day naturally revolves around ensuring that all the animals in my care, both my own and my clients', receive the attention, love, and care they need. Here's how pet care fits into my schedule: - **Daily Routine**: My day starts early with feeding and attending to my 7 dogs, ensuring they get their morning exercise and playtime. This routine extends seamlessly to any pets I care for, incorporating their feeding, grooming, and exercise needs into my schedule. - **Dedicated Time for Pets**: I set aside dedicated times during the day specifically for pet care activities such as feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. This ensures that each pet receives the focused attention they deserve. - **Experience with Multitasking**: Managing a busy household with multiple pets and children has made me highly efficient at multitasking.

This structure helps dogs feel secure and reduces anxiety. - **Regular Exercise and Play**: I provide ample opportunities for exercise and play, tailored to each dog's energy level and preferences. This includes daily walks, play sessions in the backyard, and interactive games to keep them mentally stimulated. - **Personalized Attention**: Each dog receives individual attention and affection, whether it's through grooming, cuddling, or simply spending quality time together. I make it a point to understand each dog's personality and needs. - **Socialization**: My dogs are well-socialized and enjoy the company of other dogs. I supervise all interactions to ensure they are positive and enjoyable for everyone involved. - **Healthy Diet**: I adhere to each dog's specific dietary requirements, ensuring they have access to fresh water and nutritious meals.

My experience enables me to provide basic first aid and administer any necessary medications. - **Calm and Loving Atmosphere**: My home is a calm and loving environment where dogs can feel relaxed and at ease. I use positive reinforcement and gentle handling to make every dog feel comfortable and cherished.

I pay close attention to their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they’re fed a proper diet, have clean water, and live in a safe, comfortable environment. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat who are literally my children. I currently don’t have a fenced in yard due to no need for one because my pets are really well and staying on my property. So when it comes to pet sitting in my home , depending on how trained the animals are I am some times able to have them roam free with my pets along with supervision or I tend to leash walk if that’s way doesn’t work out . I prioritize myself on keeping my pets safe and other people’s pets safe as well.

About: I've taken care of pets almost all of my life! I grew up with 3 cats that I adored. Before we had our 3 boys, we got a Beagle named Pippin who lived with us for 14 years. For the last 5 years our family has hosted many dogs here in our home and enjoy the energy and life they bring! I currently work part-time and my husband works from home so we are very flexible and available. I love taking walks and enjoy when I can bring a furry friend along! I also love sitting on my deck swing with the pups and watching people and animals in my yard and on the bike path. We have a huge backyard that backs up to a bike path which we use frequently. We have 3 teenage boys who love playing with dogs! We also live in a very safe neighborhood that is dog friendly and right by a park.

“Denise was great when I took Teddy for doggy daycare! He got lots of energy out with her dogs, and she sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend!”
