I have the most experience with bigger dogs and cats, but I love all animals! I can handle pets with a lot of energy as well. I‘m very organized and can handle a lot of instructions, like if your pet needs medicine or special food!

About: I have always had a love for animals. My husband calls me Snow White because even ducks follow me. Everywhere I go animals follow me.

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. I will clean up after any messes they make, being sure to leave your place spotless as it had been when I arrived.

About: I have had dog(s) and/or cat(s)in my life for over 40 years. Animal lovers are very special…I am one of those people that love animals! I work full-time with flexible hours. Animals are welcome to join me in my workplace. I take walks daily and would love to have a pup to walk with. I can watch pets in my home or in clients home and will offer loving care to offer comfort to the client’s pet. I want to ensure that the pet I’m watching or walking is feeling loved and at peace. My son and daughter-in-law have a very nervous rescue so I have experience with nervous pups too!

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!

“Thank you!”

About: I trained my 2 year old Labrador who now is a professional hunting waterfowl dog. I have also grown up in a dog friendly home, and I just love them with my whole heart. I’m a teacher who loves dogs! If you are close to my area, I can gladly walk your dog when I get home for the day. If you are looking for a sitter or Walker over summer break, I’m your girl! I do not have a fenced in back yard, but I do live on a lot of acres. I also have a 2 year old black American Labrador who loves other dogs. My house is pet friendly :)

About: I have strong attention to detail when it comes to taking care of my kids and other's kids! I currently have 2 German Shepherds and 4 cats, so no job is too big or too small for me! I also have experience working with shy or fearful dogs. I will gladly arrange a meeting before taking care of your family member. We can work together to work out a solution for you and your family! 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!

“Natasha is my go-to for my dog walking needs! She is flexible and works with me and my crazy schedule, and best of all my doggo loves her. 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. Any and all photos or videos you request will be sent to ease your worries. Extended stays and overnights are 100% dedicated to them and them alone. Their happiness and comfort is my number 1 priority.
