“I'm very appreciative of Mary dropping by twice a day to feed my two kitties. She did a wonderful job and she was very caring to their needs. Went above and beyond what I expected from her. This is the second time I have used her and will definitely use her again when my plans call for it.”
“Kelli was lovely with my cat! As soon as he got out of his carrier when he arrived, he nuzzled against her immediately. She provided updates and was very understanding of how shy and nervous my kitty is, and her communication was very prompt. Thank you again :)”
“Isabella is trustworthy and followed all special care instructions perfectly. I look forward to having Isabella come into our home and provide care for our cat during our next time away.”
About: I have been around animals, exotic and domestic, since I was taken home in the carrier. Animals are my passion and there’s no animal that doesn’t need loved! I am a first responder with no set schedule, so I would like to spend my free time with animals and helping people out if they are needed. I couldn’t think of a better way to help out! I am very flexible on my off days and would be willing to go above and beyond for your pet. I understand some pets require certain things that may be different or difficult, but I would be absolutely willing to work through that! Walking dogs, doing litter boxes, playing fetch, and giving attention are all my specialties!
About: I have had my Rottweiler (Chet) for 12 years and she is absolutely my favorite person. She is a part of my family and I tend to her the same way I do for my 4 year old son. She needs time to play, to exercise, to feel loved and appreciated. Making sure that her needs are being met is a top priority for me as I’m sure it is for you and your companion. I currently work at Farm Sanctuary where I also help care for farm animals. Animals are a passion of mine. I love taking Chet for walks and would love to be able to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the attention and exercise that they need.
“Absolutely 10/10. I didn’t have the greatest experience with my last sitter from Rover, so I was really hoping this time around would be different and Deanna did not disappoint. She was prompt, friendly, and was able to check the things I asked about. One of my cats requires two medications and she successfully administered them. She also played with and gave treats out, which I know they love. I can tell they were well taken care of while I was away because they were happy and not screaming when I got back, and appreciate the attention she put towards them. Also sent very cute pictures each visit. Definitely recommend booking with her and will do so again if I need the services!”
“It was my second booking with Riley! My cat crew was well taken care of and she really takes the time to get to know each of them and their personalities and needs. She communicates what’s going on and makes me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
About: Hi! My name is Emma, and I am majoring in Biology with a concentration in Animal Ecology at Kent State. I am passionate about animals of all kinds, and I have experience caring for exotic as well as domestic critters through various internships and volunteering at a local animal shelter! I am a senior at Kent State graduating in December. My class schedule is pretty flexible, so I would be available certain times during the week for walking or drop-in visits. I am available on weekends for house sitting. I am committed to maintaining a safe and happy environment for your pup by following any of your directions and instructions regarding their care. I want to ensure an enriching experience for your pet that will leave them satisfied and happy for when you return to them!
“Jessi did an amazing job caring for our animals for almost 2 weeks! She initiated a meet and greet so she could meet our animals and go over instructions verbally (she even took notes ?). I can tell she took wonderful care of our furbabies as the were happy when we returned home and not mad at us, as we have experienced in the past. She accommodated us when we had vehicle trouble and needed to add more visits beyond our original booking end date. She did unexpected tidying up around our house which we viewed as a pleasant surprise!! I will seek Jessi out when I need to book care in the future ?. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets!!”
