“Laura was absolutely amazing! I have a lot of anxiety leaving my fur babies at home but she eased all my worries! She was kind and sent updates and pictures each day. I have already booked her for another trip! 10/10 recommend! <3”



“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.”


“After our flight was canceled, Bree helped us out and watched our dog an additional night after watching him for over a week. We appreciate having a reliable sitter!!”


About: I have cared for multiple kinds of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc. I have worked at two veterinary clinics as well as a pet store. I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I currently do not have a job at the moment but I am actively searching. So as of now, my time is completely free to care for your pets! My services will take place at my client's home. Depending on if there are any specific directions, I will care for your pets properly and do what you request.

“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”


“Josie accepted our very last-minute request to house sit our dog, which was such relief. She was really good with our dog and did a great job! Our dog, who is a bit shy of strangers at first, was comfortable with her right away. Josie sent us updates (including photos) daily, which were so nice to receive. She was also a very considerate “house guest”, even cleaning up after our dog who sheds daily and always drags dead leaves and stuff into the house on his furry feet. We highly recommend Josie and will not hesitate to request her services again. Thank you, Josie!”


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.

About: I enjoy spending time with cats and dogs and have been happy to help many family members, friends and clients with their beloved furry friends. I’ve tended to special needs animals as well, giving medicines, special dietary needs and physical needs. Whether you have cats or dogs, or both, they will be loved and cared for while you’re away. I recently returned for a year overseas and am currently looking for a career but would love to help with your pets in the meantime! I have a very open schedule to come to your home but am unable to have pets in my home. I have extensive experience in housesitting and pet sitting, I am a clean and trustworthy adult and will care for your pets and your home.

“Nikki was awesome with our two dogs! She went above and beyond and re-arranged her schedule to accommodate ours! I would highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, we will definitely be reaching out to her again! 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!

About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. For drop in visits and sitting I will be making sure they get food and water whilst their owners are gone. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom All and all making sure they are happy and healthy while I am there and before I leave. When I walk dogs I let them take their time to go to the bathroom maybe even play a little.

About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

About: First of all, dogs are my absolute passion and believe they are not just pets, but truly are family! I have two (quirky) rescue dogs of my own, Joey and Coco. Our family has fostered dogs for a local rescue, so I am comfortable with dogs that may have unique quirks. I am passionate about ensuring pets are cared for in the way THEY need. If that's a nice long walk, great! If that's a game of intense fetch, awesome! Maybe it's just cuddles on the couch...also great! I would love to be able to spend time with your furry friend when you are not able, because again, they are family and deserve top notch care. I hope to meet you and your furry fam soon! Right now, my evenings are open (6:15-9 pm) and my weekends are completely open when I am in town! I am definitely flexible on weekends. I am a homebody! We live in Elida after living in Cincinnati for 10 years! I am not currently accepting dogs to stay at our home due to anxiety in my own pups with new pups in their space. However, I will ensure your pup is safe and well cared for in your own home for our visits! I, myself, have an escape artist, so outdoor play is always highly supervised, as is the opening and closing of doors. Rest assured your pup will be safe and well cared for in my care!

About: I've personally had three dogs in my home while growing up. I have had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and frogs as well.

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’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.

I remember when I was younger her always talking about the animals at the humane society because she volunteered there whenever she could!
