“Michelle was great with our pups. She was kind enough to bring in a package outside our door, check their water, and feed them dinner while coming over to let them out. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a dog sitter!”

“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”

About: I work as a grooming technician and have an educational background in animal and veterinary science through NSTC, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and basic health knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’ve also done training work with reactive dogs, so I’m confident managing structured walks and helping dogs feel secure. In addition to sitting and walking, I can provide light grooming services such as nail trims, bath and brush, and sanitary trims upon request. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on building trust so pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I work part-time in the pet care field, so animal care is already a regular part of my daily routine. My schedule allows flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I have strong weekend availability. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable. I provide care in my client’s home and prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress handling. As a grooming technician, I work hands-on with dogs every day and am very comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach to keep pets calm. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs, so I’m especially patient and aware during walks and new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and can crate if needed. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being always come first.
“Teagan was awesome! She was available pretty last minute. She still came and met the pups before our trip. She worked around her schedule and ours. She kept the house cleaned up which is huge for me! And she helped water flowers while we were gone along with taking great care of our 4 pups!”

“The best in town! Cynthia took amazing care of my two dogs when I was on vacation, she will always be my go to for dog care. Coco and quigley appreciate you and I think they might want me to leave again just to see you :) thank you so much for doing an amazing job and having great communication with me the entire time. Truly the best in the business no questions asked!!! Sincerely, Brandon Harper”

“Kaity is phenomenal! Not only did she get us out of a jam and accept our last minute request to check in on our dogs, but she is also so great with them! You will not be disappointed if you ask her to take care of your dogs.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, i’ve even lived on a farm! I enjoy the company animals give me and how I can understand their love and appreciation without words. I have been around pets from dogs and cats, to turtles and ferrets. I have always been able to bond well with plenty of animals and it makes me happy knowing I can take care of them. I am a full-time college student at UToledo, majoring in Psychology! Although I am taking 5 classes, I still have many gaps in my schedule, and I would love to be able to use my time to play with animals! At the moment, I do not have my own animal, as my previous one passed away. I'd love to make my day a bit brighter and more exciting by watching your sweet animals! Unfortunately, I will not be able to pet-sit or care for any animals in my own home due to living in an apartment, having no fenced-in yard, and not having much space for pets to roam around. I am able, though, to go to anyone’s home to watch their pet and take it from there. I love being outside, so walks are definitely a must for animals that need lots of walking (or any cats/other animals who love to go outside). I will take pictures to send to the animal's owners, record medical information, clean up after the pets/bathroom area, and take on any other needed requests. I will ask questions and get to know what I can/can’t do with the pets before I try to do anything! I am very flexible, and I am here to help you and make your life easier!
“Emily was absolutely incredible! She was so attentive to my kitty and gave me super consistent details on her daily behaviors. It’s evident that she’s been a pet owner her whole life, she’s an absolute natural. I can’t wait to keep using Emily in the future to watch my girl.”

“Diana is the absolute best! I feel so safe and secure leaving my babies with Diana while at work knowing they'll be loved and cared for by her just like I would. My babies and I are so lucky and thankful to have her in our lives!”

About: Over the past 36 years, I have had 7 dogs (2 that lived to 17 years old and required a lot of care and medication), 1 bird, 1 bunny (which was on hospice when I adopted her) and multiple fish. I was on the Board of Directors for the Humane Society of Hancock County and fostered over 10 puppies throughout the years. I have also gone through training courses with multiple dogs. I am responsible, reliable, and hard-working. I am looking forward to spending some time with your animals! I am currently not working, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available most days and weekends throughout the day and evening and can do multiple visits per day. I currently have three dogs that are crate-trained, so I am very comfortable with getting dogs in and out of their cages. I am also comfortable with walking your dog on a leash or supervising them when playing within a fenced yard. I will treat your home as if it's my own and leave it in the same condition as I found it.
About: Having grown up with pets my whole life, I am not unaware of how much your pets mean to you. I strive to give the greatest of care to each pet I care for. Having experience with numerous dog breeds and personalities, I am confident that I can provide wonderful care to your pups :) I am a currently a student so my schedule can be a lot, but I am always organized and am great at time management. I have really open availability in the evenings as well as all day during the weekends. Safety for your pets is my number one priority. I am confident with leashes and collars, as well as safe walking etiquette around other community members and their pets.
About: I don’t just love animals; caring for them is something I have years of hands-on experience doing. I have worked professionally in dog daycare and have also provided private pet sitting for families since 2022. My experience has taught me how to read canine body language, recognize changes in behavior, safely manage different personalities, and help dogs who may be shy, anxious, nervous, or simply VERY excited to make a new friend! I believe every pet deserves care based on who they are. Some dogs want to play and stay busy, while others would rather curl up beside you and feel safe. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, feeding schedule, and the little things that make them comfortable. I want you to leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and being cared for like one of my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have the experience from working in a structured dog daycare and also provide private pet-sitting services, so I’m accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of the animals in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’ll always make sure we discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. My professional dog daycare and pet-sitting experience has taught me to pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, and each pet’s individual comfort level. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully and never assume that every pet has the same needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to provide a clean, calm, secure environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for.

About: Hello! I’m Marie! I have been an animal lover since I can remember and I’ve had pets since the age of 5. As a young adult, I do have friends and family that ask me to watch their pets for them when they’re away. Walking, feeding and quality time are all areas I do well in! I personally have a few pets of my own including exotics and have no issue caring for reptiles or arachnids. Axolotls, rats and rabbits are a few of the pets I have owned and cared for. I also have cats, a dog, birds and tarantulas! They all deserve the upmost care and love. So if you need someone experienced in all animals, I’m your girl! I currently work from 4am-12pm with Mondays and Thursdays off. I am always willing and able to make sure clients are taken care of before or after work. I always follow what the owner wants. Lists are my best friend when it comes to precise things when caring for other’s animals. Routine is important as well. I walk my dog throughout the day and my cats are pretty low maintenance. I am exceptional with following your day to day routines and expectations.
