“Katie did an exceptional job with all 4 of our animals! She took the time to learn each of their quirks and needs, especially with our 200+ lb. Saint Bernard. If you need a sitter that can work with any size dog or cat, Katie is who you want! She also went above and beyond during her stays by cleaning up around our house, giving extra love to our dogs, and emptying the cats’ litter box. She’s amazing and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter in the MOV!”


About: I’ve watched dogs of all different breeds and ages. I have always been compassionate about dogs and would love to add to our furry friend pack for the night or week whatever works best for you! I’m very flexible with my schedule as I’m a SAHM on our 5 acres and home. I’d love to watch your fur baby and make them feel like they’re at home too!😊 I’m a Stay at Home Mom, so I’m home the majority of the time if not all day every day. I love dogs and want to include my passion for caring for more dogs in my every day life I have 5 acres for the dogs to roam (I can put them on a leash to go outside if need be). Our house is in a nice secluded space outside of Loudonville, Ohio. The perk is your dog gets to enjoy the quiet outdoors and space along with our other fur babies and our 2 children

“Ashlyn is the absolute best! Her taking care of my dog on my long unpredictable work days gives me peace of mind. My dog always looks so happy in the pictures she sends me in the rover card. Thank you Ashlyn for all you do for Buckeye and myself! Oh”


“Laci did great taking care of my cats while I was traveling. She played with them, fed them, sent photos, and was very professional and friendly to work with.”


About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I work does dog boarding/daycare/training. I am a kennel tech so I just take care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also take care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers are away. I have worked there for a year and absolutely love it. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really love my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. I have early classes most days of the week, 3 days out of the week they start at 8 and end at 12, then the other two days start at 8 and end at two. I work weekends at my job but I call off whenever needed so I can dog sit At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow


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.

“Emily did a great job spending time with Ivy!!! Ivy was sad when she left! We will definitely be booking more overnight stays!! Thanks!!!!”


About: Owner of several rescue dogs & cats over the last 25 years. One year experience working in a vet clinic as a receptionist. Our fur babies are incorporated into all facets of our lives. I work from home most days. I am an avid walker and love the company of a 4-legged friend. I also love longer hikes on the weekend. I have outdoor leashed areas that are well maintained and a very socialized older female dog in my home. I also have 2 cats which can easily and safely be separated from other fur babies inside my home.

“Highly recommended! Courtney did a fantastic job with my 3 dogs. Did a great job checking in and sending pics as well even though she didn’t have to. I will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats over the last 10 years. I have also always had dogs of my own; currently have 3 beautiful girls. I love all pets, small to big and young to old. Athletic enough for young ones’ energy and gentle enough for seniors’ care. I have a background in pet health care and have also worked at a kennel in the past. Taking care of your animals wouldn’t even be a service to me; my love for them makes it easy. I work full time, but depending on location would be able to do walks or drop-in visits on my lunch breaks. As well as before or after work, if needed. I am available for house sitting pretty much any day of the week with at least 1-day notice. I have adequate knowledge on when a dog may be feeling stressed or threatened and know how to handle the situation accordingly. I can crate your dogs, if required. I do my absolute best to avoid distractions while on walks.

About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well. I am currently working part time so I will have time to play and cuddle with your pets all the time. It will be my pleasure. I am always watching to make sure they don't get into something they shouldn't be eating or playing with. I love to take walks and play.
