“I highly recommend Chaise as a pet sitter. She did drop in care for us this weekend, and somehow made friends with my daughter’s very cranky chihuahua. She came to our house twice before we went out of town so that he’d feel more comfortable while we were gone. She sent us lots of pictures of the pupperitos, which made us smile. We will definitely use Chaise when we go out of town again.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”



About: My daughter recently went off to college in another state and I need something to keep me sane. Spending some time with your little ones is just the ticket. I run 3-4 days a week and walk a lot the other days. I have a very friendly and high energy Weimaraner, who loves to play with other dogs and kids. My husband is the best frisbee thrower in the world. I work from home, so frequent attention is not a problem. Excessive barking would need to be managed, but not a deal breaker. I love animals and have a mild allergy to cats so I don't bring them to my home but I can be around them as long as I take my Claritin. I also have a turtle, and have had birds in the past, so extra friends are doable as well. I work from home in a non-call center role. I have ample time for potty breaks and play time. I do like to prioritize exercise in the morning and at lunch so that I get good naps while I work. My office has a huge futon and dog bed that allow for me to be with them all day. My dog is perimeter trained in our yard, but we also have a 50 ft cable for those not able to be outside without wandering. We have easy furniture and our house has been lived in by many dogs and children.

About: Hello! As a dedicated pet sitter, walker, and many more things I have several qualities that set me apart from others. Firstly, I have extensive experience in caring for dogs, having personally looked after my own six dogs for the past ten years. This hands-on experience has given me invaluable insights into the specific needs and behaviors of dogs, from puppies to seniors. One of my special skills is training puppies. I understand the importance of early socialization, which helps establish a strong foundation for their overall well-being. Whether it's potty training, leash manners, or basic commands, I can provide patient and effective service to help your puppy grow into a well and happy dog. On the other hand, I also have experience with senior dogs. I am well-versed in the specific care requirements of older canines, such as administering medication, assisting with mobility issues, and providing extra attention to their comfort and well-being. I understand the challenges that come with aging pets and can provide the necessary care and compassion they deserve. Aside from my practical experience, I have a genuine love and passion for animals. Their well-being and happiness are always my top priority. I believe that every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and individualized attention. You can trust me to provide a safe and loving environment for your pets while you're away, ensuring they receive the care they deserve. If you choose me as your pet sitter, walker, or anything you may need, you can rest assured that your furry friends will be in capable and caring hands. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pets. I believe that it’s important to always start the day with a morning walk and ensure that our fur babies get correct exercise and some fresh air. My dogs also have specific feeding times to ensure balanced and nutritious meals. Playtime also is a really big thing, as dogs need to be mentally stimulated throughout the day and physically active to stay healthy! Just not right after eating, as that can be dangerous for some breeds. Grooming is also super necessary and important for my puppies. Their nails especially grow so fast. Additional things I like to do are evening walks, training time and making sure my pups all have comfortable sleeping areas! In my home my fur babies are provided with walks, nutritious food, exercise, grooming, mental stimulation, a safe environment, socialization and emotional care every day. For a client, I believe it’s important to follow any specific instructions provided regarding feeding, medication, or other special requirements for their pets. Communication with the pet owners is crucial to ensure you meet their expectations and provide the best care for their furry companions.

About: Hello, I will exercise the dogs daily, plenty of room to run in the backyard. Tricks, training, runs, plenty of dog friendly furniture. My evenings are sometimes busy, but with a flexible schedule I can easily work things around caring for your dog. I love dogs and will take the best care of them. I do have 3 pet friendly dogs of my own, Bandit, Ceto and Kai are dog, cat and human friendly. I am very good at communicating and will keep you updated on your pet. I have been professionally training dogs for over two years. I have not moved my training business to Tiffin OH as of yet, but i am willing to discuss on a case by case basis. Dogs make the world a much better place to live! My profession started with Balanced Dog Training, so dogs are a big part of my every day life. 24/7, 365, I love spending any free time I have with my fur babies. I have first aid supplies on hand, I am able to transport dogs to vet if needed, I also have basic first aid knowledge. When I’m doubt, call for help!

About: I had previously been a vet assistant at a non profit animal shelter and I love taking care of all animals. I also have some experience with basic grooming (brushing, bathing, etc.) and I would be happy to groom, walk, feed,and play with any animals. I am also able to administer medications to your pets a as well as recognize basic health issues. I have over a year of working experience but I have had animals and cared for animals my entire life, mostly dogs and cats but I am comfortable taking care of most other animals. I would be able to take animals on walks and play with them and make sure they get enough love and care while you are away. I consider myself very trustworthy as well. I currently work full time and am open to animal care in my off time and days off. I love having a reason to get outside and go on walks! I believe safety and trust is extremely important when caring for someone else’s pet. I’m very attentive and focused when I’m spending time caring for animals.

“I've known Cynthia for over twenty-years. She is reliable, intelligent, and caring. Her pets have always been members of her family and are greatly loved and cared for. Cynthia has a remarkable understanding of animals; she knows their ways and how to connect with them. She helped me tremendously with two of my adult rescue dogs that had never been properly trained. She worked with them in a gentle and patient manner, and they learned so much! I highly recommend her. She's trustworthy and you won't have to worry about your pets because she will take care of them lovingly.”

He truly loves trying to find the right way, the best way, to help train or help your animal in the way your fur baby needs! His approach with dogs is definitely nice to see when there are so many people who don’t have patients or don’t dive deeper to understand something they don’t know. Gaven, has definitely been a benefit in my life, always there and is always helpful.”
