About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.

About: Hello! From geckos, to young and elderly cats, birds, fish, and even dogs; I have cared for them all. I love animals to the point I worked at the Toledo Zoo! The quality of time and care given to your pets is important because they deserve the best while you’re away. I’m working evenings currently and during the day I have time to walk or do step in visits. From Tuesday to Thursday my time belongs to your pets! I am available all day to provide care. I provide care by checking on the basic necessities daily such as water and food (if you let food sit in the bowl only) and spot scooping litter boxes. I also set timers to keep on track of letting dogs outside to go to the bathroom or even when it’s time for a walk!

About: I have grown up with hamsters and guinea pigs so I have many years of experience when taking care of pets. Also for the past 3 years I have been house sitting and walking/checking in on friends and families dogs and cats. I am home from college for the summer and am looking for something on the side that I like to do. So I am pretty available whenever it comes to scheduling. If there is a fence I plan on keeping pets inside the fencing and if pets needed to go for a walk I will make sure to follow all proper instructions per the client.

About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.

About: I have three pets of my own. Two rescue cats and one pound puppy. I have experience administrating medications from eye drops to diabetic shots. I work from home so am always available to sit in house or stop by multiple times a day. I’ve always been very good with animals and love spending my time with them. I am very excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I work remotely in sales so I am very flexible on times for visits and walks. This also allows me to stay in houses if it is needed or required! I would prefer to care for fur babies in the clients home as I have pets of my own. However we do have a very large back yard so if your dog needed a place to let loose and run around this could be accommodated!

About: I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about a year and a half ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and for some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours! I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever. Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.
