“It was great to have someone walk ginger - she did a great job !!!”


“Vivien was awesome! She came highly reviewed by a friend of mine. She came and let my GSD out while I was at work. She was so sweet to even bring my Amazon packages inside the house for me! Xylo (my pup) looked thrilled on the photos she sent me and it was great to know he was in such great care while I was stuck at work! Thanks so much Vivien! I hope you and Xylo will get to hang out again soon ?”


About: Hi! My name is Anna. I have a deep love for all animals (especially dogs) and enjoy spending time outdoors, which makes me a great match for pups who love their walks, playtime, and fresh air. I live an active lifestyle and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Whether you're looking for a consistent daily walker, someone to help while you're at work, or just an occasional check-in, I’m happy to help however I can! I’m currently a college student home for the summer and working part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to walking and caring for your pets. I understand how important routine is and always do my best to honor each dog’s specific preferences and needs. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality so I can give them the kind of attention, affection, or space they need. Respect of your pet and your home is very important to me. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away or busy!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong love for dogs, hands-on experience with pets of all ages, and my dependable, personalized care. I grew up with four energetic huskies, so I’m no stranger to high energy breeds and the importance of consistency. I now have a dachshund puppy of my own, so I’m also familiar with the patience and training that puppies need. In addition to caring for my own pets, I work for a private pet care company in Perrysburg, where I’ve gained even more experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This includes senior dogs who need a gentler touch and extra attention. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup needs playtime, a calm walk, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to make sure their tail keeps wagging. Pet care fits in my routine naturally because I currently have a very open schedule and no full-time job. I only do dog walks for a few hours on occasional days through a private pet care company, so I have plenty of flexibility to dedicate time and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, an overnight stay, or regular drop-ins, I’m able to adjust my routine to match yours. My open availability also means I can be there for last minute bookings or unexpected schedule changes! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions—like feeding schedules, medication needs, or favorite toys. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything as close to your normal routine as possible, giving your pet the comfort of familiar surroundings. In my home, pets get a quiet, cozy environment with lots of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I make sure they get bathroom breaks, exercise, and enrichment suited to their age and energy level. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have one dog named biscuit that we have had for years! I have also watched dogs previously and my family has several of them.

I have one friendly dog named Biscuit who will keep your dogs company! I am responsible for feeding, walking, playing, and taking her out to potty!

“Evie was incredible. She took time to meet my dog before we booked the walks to ensure my dog knew her. And she gave me such peace of mind with her regular updates. My dog has some separation anxiety and I had to work a couple late days when I normally take her to the office, but Evie and her gentleness with my pup put me at ease knowing she was taken care of when I couldn’t. Will 100% book again. Thank you, Evie!”

Anna C.
“Anna is my daughter and I can attest to her strong affection toward dogs, their typical reciprocal affection, and her careful caregiving abilities. Anna came home as a newborn with two loving labradors sitting by her side. She grew up with dogs, and as a young adult, knows how to keep them safe, happy, and entertained. She has spent many, many hours walking with our family dogs and me. She is also a great communicator and creative photographer. If you have other pets, Anna is also accustomed to caring for our family cat and two bunnies. I know I am biased since I am her Mom, but Anna has my full endorsement and my complete trust to take care of our beloved animals.”

Olivia L.
“I’ve had Olivia caring for my two dogs at overnight visits for over a year now, and I truly don’t know what I’d do without her. We met through her father, and she’s been such a godsend ever since. I’m older and have some health issues that can make my schedule unpredictable, but she’s always been incredibly flexible and understanding. Olivia has never once made me feel like a burden. She gives my dogs their medications on time, keeps them on routine, and treats them like her own. She even goes above and beyond by tidying up, bringing in the mail, and sending me sweet updates. My dogs absolutely adore her. couldn’t ask for a more caring, reliable helper”
