I am a stay at home mom so I can devote all my attention to the fur babies. Your babies are my babies under my watch. I will take care of them like they are one of my babies.

Can’t wait to meet you and your pups (: Pet care is a natural part of my routine because I am always home. I structure my day around your pets needs, whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship. I make sure each dog gets personalized attention and consistent care from morning to night. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I live in a clean, spacious home with no other pets so your dogs will never feel overwhelmed or ignored. I’m home all day which means constant supervision and ZERO crate time unless requested.

About: I have had an immense amount of pets my whole life. I have watched over others pets many times and I hope and can meet some other furry faces! I’m a college student my classes are online so I have a flexible schedule. Full time is difficult with school so this job works out perfectly. Growing up I was surrounded with lots of animals. All of our animals were very well behaved and well taken care of, even our chickens knew some tricks. I have a love for animals and I enjoy working with them.

About: I've always had dogs in my life. I've had lots of experience with working with them. I have worked at 2 doggy daycare and have been pet sitting for 2 years now. I'm a part time student and have 2 jobs currently. On my days off or in between jobs I would like to help out with dog walking or drop in visits. I have done a lot of pet sitting in clients homes, everyone has trusted me to come back regularly. I will send lots of updates and pictures.

About: ***RECENTLY ACTIVE AGAIN AFTER YEARS OFF ROVER*** I love dogs and have my whole life! Really, any animal I will accept and love as if it were my own. I am currently working full time but am available for any type of drop ins, as I am about to “retire” from house stays after 6 years of providing that for families! I’ve been called upon by family and friends for YEARS to stay in their homes, take care of their pets, and provide much needed play time! I will make sure all messes are cleaned, enjoy each dog or animal I’m with to a full extent, and send as many updates as you wish. I also stay as long as I can to ensure each animal is taken care of in any way they need. I am trusted by many people in my life, and unfortunately lost my very own dog, Archie, in May of 2019. I now live on my own, and volunteer at a humane society for dog walking and care. I am still called to pet sit friends dogs (smaller animals too!) and would love to meet your pet(s)! I am willing to work around your schedule as needed, and hoping we can make something work best for everyone involved! I am currently working full time in the Maumee area, and pet sitting is generally more part-time to full time. I work a consistent schedule of 7-3:30pm, so I’d be able to assist after that time for drop ins. I was previously able to assist in overnight stays, and am looking to fill my time with drop ins. I also can do drop ins more frequently on the weekends. If you have questions I will be happy to answer them. I am always updated about instructions that owners leave. If the owner says the dog requires supervision outside, that is what I will do. I also ask about possibility of being an escape artist (fences or bolting out the door!). Other things include not leaving chewable items in sight for the dog, or things that harm them. Again, I usually try to get a feel for the dogs personality beforehand so I know anything required for their safety. This will depend on the pet.

About: Aside from always having pets in the house growing up, I work at an animal hospital where I am trained how to properly handle dogs, cats, and more. I am also a pre vet major looking to become a veterinarian! I am currently on summer break and my schedule is pretty open! I do work a couple days a week but I would love to work out times for me to take care of your fur kiddos! I will strictly follow any rules you have set in place and I am used to having certain areas of the house blocked off for animals if that is necessary!

About: My whole family has had dogs at some point. I have grown around big, medium, and small dogs. I am outside a lot and will make sure your dog has a great time under my care. I am home a lot of the time so taking care of a dog works great in my schedule. I am very attentive and will make sure your dog has all his/her needs meet! I have strong leadership skills and communication skills towards dogs. I would carry out certain training methods that you would do for your own dog to make sure good habits are kept and maintained!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for two years now, from the big and strong pit bulls to the little shih Tzus. I can adapt and learn from any behavioral your pet may have, and work with it. I have been told how my kind actions and words help the experience of a new dog meeting me to open up. I know how to calm aggressive or hyper dogs without need of harsh words or abusive actions. I am completely free to take care of your pet(s), no matter the day or time. I am very flexible, so if you were to have a cancelation I will most likely be able to move around it. As I had said in a previous statement, I have pets of my own! While they are not aggressive, I am not able to keep any other pets at my home. At your home, I will be sure to keep track of your pet(s) at all times, making sure they are safe and comfortable.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep understanding of the importance of routine and exercise for dogs, honed from years of experience with my own pets. My love for the outdoors translates into enjoyable, active walks at parks, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Additionally, I have had puppies and old dogs throughout my life and know that not every dog is the same. I had a dog with 3 legs that recently passed and know that patience and learning the dogs personality is important in caring for them successfully. I just finished college in May and worked in Maine all summer at a camp. I’m home now and looking for work. My calendar is open indefinitely until I find another job. I do not have a fenced in yard so I will not be offering in home services. I would be making sure your pet in secure in your home and outside while caring for them. Consistently checking their water and feeding them when they usually do so. Brushing if they require that. Making sure your home is how you left it, respecting your space!

I work from home - so I can easily take breaks throughout the day to do drop-ins and walks. This makes it easy to fit most family schedules. I will respect all requests that the client provides. If medications are necessary, they will be administered timely. If your family member is used to a specific schedule, I can make sure that happens!

I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sends me during her visits - it’s a relief to me during a long day at work to know that I don’t have to worry about my pup.”


About: Animals are a huge part of my life. I've had the privilege of caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, ferrets, squirrels, various types of birds (big and small), horses, goats, pigs, and llamas. Basic training, providing medicine, and senior care are a few of my specialties. Caring for your pet is my full time passion. I am available as often as you need me to check-in on, walk, play, or stay with them. Leaving your pet behind can be very stressful. Weather it's for work or play I promise to make your time away stress free for both you and your pet. If more time is needed during check-ins to ensure your pet feels safe and calm, I am happy to give them the extra cuddles and attention.

Cierra H.
“I've had the pleasure of working with Cierra for over half a year alongside dogs, so I know that she is a kind and caring person, both with people and pets. She is a reliable and trustworthy lady who would put the safety of pets -- hers, or anyone's-- before her own. Not only that, but she's very responsible and has a good head on her shoulders. If I were to trust anyone with taking care of my own dogs, it'd be Cierra.”


Amanda K.
“I met Amanda through work, which was convenient during COVID and she mentioned she dog sits! I not only took her up on it, I trust her more than dog kennels! Bear is our year and a half old mastiff, and we have Daisy, a lab mix, along with our cat. When Daisy had her tooth removed last year, Amanda gladly gave her the daily pills she needed. She wants to spend all the time she can with my dogs and makes a schedule work around travel plans and her own schedule. She also comes out last minute any time she can. She keeps in constant contact about her own whereabouts/scheduling so we know what’s happening. I can’t say enough good things about her!”


Sydney E.
“Sydney is the only person I trust to care for my dog! Not only has she grown up around dogs and always loved them, but she treats my dog like her own. My baby is old so she needs extra care, and Sydney has always stepped up and been there for her when needed. She is so gentle and caring with her. The only person I ever let walk my baby, besides myself.”


Prakash K.
“If you take your pet to Prakash, I can guarantee you that your pet will be in the best hands imaginable. He will make taking care of your pet not only a priority, but he will do it with the love and care in the highest regard. You would leave your pet knowing they would be taken care of and safe.”
