I just got Chapman and was nervous how he would do with new people; however, Haleigh did such a good job with him. Her feedback is great and really cares! Thank you!

About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets! I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!

Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young. I help all of my friends in the military when they go out of town and I know how much of a pain it can be to find someone trustworthy! I love animals and never want them to go without love and care! I am currently working at Lowe’s part time. I work 4-6 hours a day if I even work that day. My husband works in the military and is home at nights and sometimes teleworks. I have a fenced backyard and a live in a nice area where I can walk the dogs to a nice park in the middle of my neighborhood. I have a 3 year old golden retriever who loves the company just as much as I do.

About: Our family loves dogs! We love to play out back with them and take them on walks. They will get lots of exercise and love at our house! There is someone home throughout the day to take care of their needs. Our whole family helps to care for dogs. There is almost always someone at the house even during the week. That means lots of attention and love! We have a good sized yard with a 6 foot fenced. We have 4 kids from elementary school to college and they love playing with dogs too. We will take family walks in our beautiful neighborhood with all of our furry friends. We are home most of the day and spend a lot of time with your dog. This means we will have the time to go for a long walk. We treat all pets like we would treat our own. So they are like family. We give them plenty of love and play time outside.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I trained my 3 year old dog from 12 weeks old and he is trained very well. I have also done pet sitting on and off for several years. I am very passionate about animals well being so your pets will be in great hands with me! Currently working part time so pretty flexible schedule. Each week may be slightly different but I will have at least a few hours every single day, and don’t work any nights. I will come to your home to take care of your pet, and follow all instructions given to your specific pet and will shower them with lots of love!

About: I grew up taking care of friends and neighbors pets while they're on vacations and still do. Our family adopted a cat named Lisa in 2023, and I love taking care of animals. I currently have plenty of time over the summer to do pet care since I'm on break from college. I also mow lawns for people around Worthington, but am easily able to decide what times I want. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions, so they feel at ease. I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment to reduce stress, and make sure the home stays secure and tidy.

About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, patience, and hands-on experience with a wide range of pets. I have worked with energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, as well as senior dogs who require extra gentleness, attention, and care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and adjusting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Beyond basic care, I bring strong communication skills—I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are happy and safe. My background working with animals in different settings has made me adaptable, attentive, and proactive, whether that means reinforcing good habits with puppies, providing comfort for older pets, or managing groups of dogs. I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

About: I have 10 years experience as a dog groomer and vet tech. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology. I've since moved on to caring for humans as an ICU RN, but I miss meeting new doggo friends! I can also offer grooming for small dogs as well as nail trims! I have 1 cat and 3 small children. Any interactions are obviously supervised, but for everyone to be safe and happy, pets I care for need to be comfortable around children. I currently work rotating shifts, so I often have availability for short getaways, occasional late date nights, or daily walks when you're stuck working late. I have lots of experience handling dogs of all sizes and cats of all attitudes. Even if your pet is a little spicy, there's a good chance we can still get along. All dogs need to be crate trained for sleeping at night and when we step out during the day
