“Cassie was great! I was afraid my dogs might be a little standoffish because two of them take a while to warm up to people, but by the end of her night here, they all seem to be best buddies! She took great care of them and sent me many great pictures, which I really appreciate. She also sent me updates on how they were doing. She even took them outside and had play time with them. I will definitely recommend her to anyone and will book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kyle took outstanding care of Archie and Rhea (and kept a watchful eye on our home) while we were on vacation. He asked thoughtful questions and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-adjusted. Archie and Rhea absolutely adore Kyle—I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future trips.”
“Shelley is awesome! She is very attentive for our fur babies and they loved her too!! She took great care of our house and went the extra mile (or 5) to assure we and the babies were happy. Will definitely ask her to watch the girls again!!”
“Capri took excellent care of my dog. I am so glad they both had a great experience. She gave regular updates and pictures on their time. It gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our trip because he was in such good hands.”
“This is the first time leaving my fur babies with anyone other than family. I highly recommend Darian! Not only did see stay with them the whole weekend, but she kept in contact with updates , she also sent pictures thst were absolutely adorable. Our final tell sign she was good was when we went to bed last night the babies stopped by guest room to see if Darian was still here. Which means they really liked her. When we go out of town in the future we will definitely be contacting Darian again.”
“Gina watched our dogs so we could take our grandkids to an amusement park. She was on time and respectful of our home and the dogs were very happy. We will be booking her again for sure.”
“Kelly is the best! She engages and takes great care of our 2 morkies. She is extremely reliable and communicates with daily updates. We feel very comfortable leaving our pups in her care.”

About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a dedicated animal care professional with over two and a half years working at an animal sanctuary, where I handle a wide range of species from birds of prey to reptiles. Beyond the sanctuary, I’ve volunteered with my local Humane Society, walking dogs and socializing cats, and have been a lifelong pet owner of dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals like hamsters. I also regularly house- and pet-sit for friends and coworkers, so I understand how important it is to provide loving, dependable care while you’re away. I’m responsible, respectful of your home and pet’s needs, and passionate about keeping animals happy and safe. I’d love to help care for your furry or scaly family members with personalized attention and kindness! I currently work part-time at an animal sanctuary, usually from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Saturday through Wednesday. That means I have availability in the early mornings, evenings, and all day Thursday and Friday for pet care. I’m a night owl by nature, so late-night visits or overnight stays work well for me too! I love fitting pet care into my week—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their animals and their space with the utmost respect. I follow any instructions carefully, keep the environment clean, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for. I’m attentive to routines—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—and I always make sure pets get the affection and attention they need while you're away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 I would bathe my pets and friends pets and walk a lot of people dogs and mine and feed them all the time and spend so much time with them and make them happy 😊 I work full time everyday I have some days off and I work every other weekend I could walk and drop in anytime on week days starting at 4 or 5pm and on weekend 3:30pm I have a fenced back yard with 2 dogs one is friendly with other and the other one is scared but he won’t be around I can bring the dogs on walk and play at park or away from my dogs whichever you would choose
About: I have been watching dogs and house sitting for over 5 years. I have also trained a service dog but am not a certified trainer yet! I am going to school full-time and working part time Monday through Thursday till 3:00pm. Free anytime outside of that time frame. Travel back-and-forth from Hubbard to Kent and Columbus quite frequently. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I provide personalized attention, ensuring each pet feels secure and loved in a familiar environment. For in-home dog sitting, I maintain their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging outings tailored to their energy level and personality. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are happy and well-cared for.
“Delani is great!! On time and always filling me in with how my dog was doing! Always making sure she’s fed hydrated and took her to the park to play! She’s very detail oriented to make sure she’s covers all bases in taking care of your pet! Highly recommend using her!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, horses, and genie pigs. I do a lot of medication such as pills and eye drops. I believe in taking great care of animals and how they should be treated like humans. I am very flexible with different jobs such as being able to work around schedules to put the animals first. Majority of my weeks revolve around animals care. I care for them like they are my own, with love and passion. Having a pet is like having a child so providing care and needs is a must but some comes with a cost.
About: I grew up around animals and spent a lot of time with them. From dogs to cats and even a squirrel. Pet sitting for friends and family when they would go out of town. I work night shift at the hospital 3 days a week so I have quite a few days off to take care of and help out with your pets. I’ve grown up with dogs, but now currently have two cats. I am responsible for changing out their cat litter, making sure they have food and wet food , also making sure they have water.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid and I’ve been taking care of my neighbors dog for 4 years! I love animals and I get along with them great even if they aren’t fond with me quite yet! I will play with them and do whatever I can to make them happy! I am in college and I play a sport so we get our schedules weekly but I will have time to take care of your pups! We have an invisible fence in my yard so the dogs don’t run away! But if they need to go outside I will sit with them because I like to keep them company! And when I want to walk them I will take them on a nice walk around the neighborhood!

Jocelyn C.
“If you’re considering choosing Jocelyn to care for your pet, there’s no need to look for anyone else. Jocelyn is beyond kind, gentle, fun, and she’s excellent with animals. As much as I’d love to bore you with a huge list of characteristics that describe Jocelyn, I’ll spare that and just tell you she would go above and beyond to make sure your pet(s) are happy, fed, and whatever else is needed will be done to excellence. Trusting Jocelyn with your pet(s) will be one of if not the best decision you could make!”
