About: Reliable and disciplined Skilled Pet Care Backed by Two Decades of common sense and love. No cats , Canines are my specialty. Have a great day. I amCurrently retired, I own an AKC registered American German Shepherd, and lovin him.Dogs are Man's best friend absolutely, one hundred twenty percent, thank you I do not accept dogs to sit at my residential properties, as I have other responsibilities and commitments. Be blessed, have a safe and day.

About: I'm a dog trainer, AKC evaluator, and Red Cross‑certified in dog & cat first aid. With over two years at a pet store and experience as a professional bather, I know animals inside and out. Drop-in visits include a 30–45 min walk or play session, a quick training tip, and of course all the love I have to give. I specialize in puppies (potty training), reactive dogs, and teaching positive reinforcement. Your pup will get skilled, safe, and high quality care—just like family. I work as a dog trainer and make my own schedule, so everything is very flexible. I typically don’t work Sundays and teach group classes Wednesday evenings and Saturdays between 10-2pm. Other than that and the sporadic private lessons, my schedule is pretty open. Because I’m a dog trainer I know all the ins and outs of dog behavior and how to act accordingly. My broad knowledge from working at a pet store also gives me insight on things like diet, proper living conditions, care, and administering medication. I’m also cat and dog first aid certified through the American Red Cross.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and truly have a love of it. I have been taking care of other people's dogs for five years. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I am currently not working a normal job so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will have time for weekend and weekdays. I have a crate available for your pet if needed. There are two dogs where I live but both are very friendly and ready to play with new friends.

About: I grew up on a dairy farm and I've been around animals since I was a child. I have always had pets and currently own a Golden retriever (Milo) and two spoiled kitty cats (Klaus and Lyra). I was a vet assistant for a few years and have lots of experience taking care of others' animals. Let me care for yours ❤️. I understand all of their quirks and have no problem with special requests 😊 I'm a school counselor off for summer vacation so currently I have a lot of availability during the week. Let me come check on your pets during the day or if you need me to walk the dog (morning, day, or evening.. We have sheep And I grew up with cattle so I can also care for livestock while you are away. Think of me if you're going to be out of town I'll come and check on the house and your pets whatever you need. When I was in college I sometimes did house sit for people so I also have experience doing that if you need me to stay in your home a few nights or just come and check while you are away. Let me know what you need for your for babies.. I don't have a fenced in yard our dog has the halo collar, So if your pet needs a playdate I would be happy to bring him along. Or if you need a place for your dog to come and run and have a Halo caller we could set that up at my place.. Just let me know what your needs are and we'll work it out!😊

“Emily came & met Creed, made friends with him & had a play date with him for a few hours while we were gone. She sent me several pics & even a video which eased my mind. Creed seemed very content & happy when we returned. I do believe he likes his new friend.”


About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I work does dog boarding/daycare/training. I am a kennel tech so I just take care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also take care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers are away. I have worked there for a year and absolutely love it. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really love my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. I have early classes most days of the week, 3 days out of the week they start at 8 and end at 12, then the other two days start at 8 and end at two. I work weekends at my job but I call off whenever needed so I can dog sit At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow

About: I have always had a dog or dogs since I was born! I started learning how to take care of dogs at the age of two. I have house sat for many lovely dogs, included walks /runs, over nights and drop ins. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. I have a full time job working 12:00-8:30 Monday-Friday (it’s a little more flexible right now because I am in training. I am free on weekends! I will follow the rules that are left for the care of your dog/dogs because all dogs are different and they love their routines!

About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years now and take passion in caring for them especially seniors. As well as training them to my best abilities I ride and train horses for a living so it allows me to have some spare time through my days to be able to do what I want. I have friendly dogs but live on a farm so no fenced in areas. I would take great care of your pets in your home to whatever requirements you have for them!

About: I treat every animal as if it were my own pet- with lots of love, care, and compassion. I’ve watched many many animals over the past couple years and have loved every second of it. I am currently only doing Instacart as my job so I am very flexible with the hours I’m able to do. I am able to come any time of day. I treat every animal as if it were my own. Lots of love and care go into every animal I watch/take care of. I try to make it so the animals aren’t focused on missing the owner as much.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have a certification in Veterinary Assisting and am experienced in administering medications. Whatever your pets require (food, walks, play), I’ll be happy to provide! Experienced with pets of all ages and will send you pictures and videos of your pets if you’d like. I am currently a student at Muskingum University. As such, I will only be available to stay overnight on weekends, but I can work around my schedule to feed and check in on pets on weekdays. I live on campus at Muskingum University, which means I’ll be unable to care for pets in my own home. My care in your home depends on what you require for your pet. Whether you want me to check in on them briefly or spend some hours keeping them company, I will follow your orders. If possible, I like to meet with you and your pet before I start watching them so that we can go over any instructions and they can feel more comfortable around me. Depending on their personality and sociability, I am equally happy playing with them or giving them space and reading while I’m keeping them company.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing.

“Paul is first and foremost an animal lover. You can rest easy knowing that your pets are being looked after by him. He has integrity and you can trust him to respect both your animals and your property.”


Lisa K.
“I've had Lisa K. watch my pets before, and I'm super impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. She's great at following instructions and really seems to connect with the animals. My pets can be a handful, especially my dog, he's not great with new people, hes a pitbull and usually scares people, but after just a little while he fell in love with her. Lisa handles all of them with patience and kindness. She's also very responsible and communicative, which gives me peace of mind when I'm away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitting or dog walker!”

Trudy T.
“I have known Trudy since college days, for over 20 years. She worked as a vet assistant while in college and has always had a love of animals. We even had a cat at our apartment while in college! We've taken our dogs with us camping! She took in her dog, Milo as a re-home and was able to get him off ALL of his prescription anxiety meds because what he needed was daily vigorous excersise and extra love and care and understanding. She has cats and sheep as well. As a school counselor she uses her patience and empathy skills to really get to know your pet and listen to what you, the owner needs. Trudy really has a special talent for caring for animals and I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed with the level of quality and attention to detail.”
