About: Hi! My name is Jayden and my wife Lisa and I are excited to care for your pup like they’re part of our family. Lisa works from home and I work a hybrid schedule, so there will almost always be someone home with your dog to give them attention, supervision, and plenty of love throughout the day. We also have 2-year-old twins who absolutely love dogs and are used to being around them. We always make sure interactions are gentle, safe, and fun for everyone. We have a 1-year-old King Charles Spaniel named Redford who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around to play with. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, we live in a great neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. Your pup will get at least two long walks every day, plus as many potty breaks as they need. We love getting outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with us! I am completely free on the weekends. Happy to do drop in visits or walks. I am also free during the evenings and during lunch hours on Wednesday and Friday. Let me know what schedule will work well for your pet. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I will make sure to give them the love and attention that they need and carefully look over your instructions to make sure they are properly cared for.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.

About: Pet Care Experience: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, and creating a calm, safe environment. What Sets Me Apart: I treat every pet like my own, offering personalized care, consistent communication, and lots of affection. My ability to handle different temperaments, provide loving, general care, and support older pets with mobility or comfort needs helps me stand out as a reliable, thoughtful sitter. I am a college student on summer break so my schedule is as available as it can be! I am super flexible and want to help out if I can! I am very friendly with dogs and have a way with being trusted easily. I have never been mean or harmful, always friendly and encouraging.
About: I have been lucky enough to always have 3+ dogs around me at a time my entire life and love watching them share their favorite hobbies with me! Day to day I love creating interactive games and lick mats for the dogs in my life. I also love taking them out on walks to clear both of our heads :) I have experience caring for & training newborn puppies all the way up to my own elderly dog. You can trust me with your baby! With my own pup I usually take her on walks 3-4 times a week & love taking her to the dog park. We also go to pet stores or pet friendly stores just as a change in scenery. I’ve been helping train 2 5 month old puppies and running around in the backyard with them while cuddling my dog throughout the day! I don’t know a life without multitasking puppy duties! At your home I will play with all of your dogs’ favorite toys & incorporate their favorite activities into their day without the shock of taking them out of their comfort zone!
About: I understand that people need services for their pets as most people are heading back to work after being remote for over a year. I work from home three to four days a week so I am able to provide the extra care at an affordable rate in the comforts of your own home. I regularly house sit for different animals. I have watched horses, lambs, dogs, & cats. I grew up with always having pets and never without. I’m available at different times throughout the week and mornings on the weekend since I work full time. I take my dog outside for walks in the local area during my lunch hour. Since I work from home, I would love to help other pet owners. Feel free to message for additional details. I have a golden retriever that I can bring along for companionship on a walk or socializing. I can stop over to crate, let out for a potty break, house sit, and take your pet for a walk. I do not offer boarding at my house but willing to come to you.
About: I have had dog(s) and/or cat(s)in my life for over 40 years. Animal lovers are very special…I am one of those people that love animals! I work full-time with flexible hours. Animals are welcome to join me in my workplace. I take walks daily and would love to have a pup to walk with. I can watch pets in my home or in clients home and will offer loving care to offer comfort to the client’s pet. I want to ensure that the pet I’m watching or walking is feeling loved and at peace. My son and daughter-in-law have a very nervous rescue so I have experience with nervous pups too!
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. I love all animals, young and old. I’m looking forward to taking care of your fur baby!! I work 2 part time/student assistant jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am always willing to schedule and plan ahead as well. I have one cat at home, but that’s it. I am not afraid to work with dogs that are excited or jumpy and I can take them in and out of their crates!
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, and high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and patience. My schedule is pretty flexible, and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and just spending time with animals throughout the day. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I always make sure pets are safe, secure, and comfortable. I treat your home with the same respect as my own and your pets with the same love I give mine.
“We were a little uneasy about our first time letting someone else take care of our dog, but Teagan has been great with Teemu! She can sometimes be a handful to walk but she seems to be much more well behaved with Teagan. Teagan is very communicative and flexible, she’s been very easy to work with too. We’re very grateful to have found someone who is so great with our dog, she’s made the whole thing very easy! 10/10 recommend!”

About: ***RECENTLY ACTIVE AGAIN AFTER YEARS OFF ROVER*** I love dogs and have my whole life! Really, any animal I will accept and love as if it were my own. I am currently working full time but am available for any type of drop ins, as I am about to “retire” from house stays after 6 years of providing that for families! I’ve been called upon by family and friends for YEARS to stay in their homes, take care of their pets, and provide much needed play time! I will make sure all messes are cleaned, enjoy each dog or animal I’m with to a full extent, and send as many updates as you wish. I also stay as long as I can to ensure each animal is taken care of in any way they need. I am trusted by many people in my life, and unfortunately lost my very own dog, Archie, in May of 2019. I now live on my own, and volunteer at a humane society for dog walking and care. I am still called to pet sit friends dogs (smaller animals too!) and would love to meet your pet(s)! I am willing to work around your schedule as needed, and hoping we can make something work best for everyone involved! I am currently working full time in the Maumee area, and pet sitting is generally more part-time to full time. I work a consistent schedule of 7-3:30pm, so I’d be able to assist after that time for drop ins. I was previously able to assist in overnight stays, and am looking to fill my time with drop ins. I also can do drop ins more frequently on the weekends. If you have questions I will be happy to answer them. I am always updated about instructions that owners leave. If the owner says the dog requires supervision outside, that is what I will do. I also ask about possibility of being an escape artist (fences or bolting out the door!). Other things include not leaving chewable items in sight for the dog, or things that harm them. Again, I usually try to get a feel for the dogs personality beforehand so I know anything required for their safety. This will depend on the pet.

About: I have worked in the vet field for 8 years and am a licensed technician in the States of Ohio and Michigan. I am happy to help with medicating animals who have been prescribed meds by their primary vet. I work in an ER setting and have three dogs of my own, and am CPR RECOVER certified. I work overnights so I am generally free through the week around some set appointments. I also travel for work so I can stop before & after shifts. I understand consistency is key when it comes to low-stress handling and will do my best to stick to your routine with your pet. Each pet is unique and has their own preferences and interests. I'm here to show them lots of love and fill in the spaces for when you're not able to be there, caring for them as you would.
About: I have grown up with almost any animal you can imagine. Very competent to care for dogs, cats, horses, or even chickens and other farm animals. I am also a nurse, so can administer medications and injections if ordered by your veterinarian. I would love to put your mind at ease knowing your animal is safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently only working two shifts per week so my availability is pretty open, as long as I am notified ahead of time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to see if our schedules would align well for me to board your pet! I have a fenced in yard (1/2 acre) plus 4.5 more acres to walk on a lead.. also we have 3 dogs (which vary greatly in size) that I would love to have company over to play and snuggle.
About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!
About: I’ve been surrounded by so many animals in my life. From cats, dogs, and water animals. I feel that whenever I’m around animals I become the happiest. I’ve taken care of little puppies, and senior dogs who are blind, deaf, and limping. I’ve changed many doggie diapers! I currently have a part time job with not many hours. I want to fill in my extra time doing something I know that I love. I’m very flexible. I have a fenced in yard. There are 3 friendly kitties that live with me, they’re super cuddly and aren’t territorial. There is a lot of open space for your pets to roam freely inside as well!
