Cat Sitting in Russells

“Eliza was wonderful with Mia. It was so nice to have someone with her background to spend time with Mia and make her feel comfortable while I was away for the day. I highly recommend Eliza! Thank you so much for your gentle care with Mia.”

“We are very happy with Melina! We have booked her for drop-ins 3 days a week and will continue. We work long hours and I feel so much better knowing that a caring person is stopping in to let the dogs out to run and potty. We will continue with Rover and Melina!”

About: I'm a dog trainer, AKC evaluator, and Red Cross‑certified in dog & cat first aid. I have owned dogs and cats all my life. With over three years at a pet store, 4 years as a professional dog trainer, and a year of experience as a professional bather, I know all the ins and outs of tending to your pets. Drop-in visits include a 30 mins of all inclusive care—exercise, play, cuddles, feeding, medications, and minor grooming or cleaning duties—whatever you need! I specialize in puppies (potty training), reactive dogs, and teaching positive reinforcement. Your pup will get skilled, safe, and high quality care because to me they’re 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.

“Sam took great care of our three cats while we were out of town for the holidays! She gave us regular updates with pictures and videos, and it set our minds at ease to know our girls were happy and healthy.”

About: My name is Tyler James Tracey (A.S., B.A.), I was raised in Muskingum County and graduated from Muskingum University. I worked in social services for a little under a decade before I worked in scientific research and regulation in Columbus. My family has returned to Muskingum county after I chose to pivot my career path and I'm now looking to help local families with their animal-based needs. With an academic understanding and rich professional experience in animal behavior and physiology, I bring extra security in assuring top-tier care for your family. My schedule is open and malleable for new clients. I believe in a regulated, consistent schedule, something that both humans and our pets thrive off of. I will maintain constant supervision for the pets under my care, happy to follow household standards and norms, and am willing to take your pet out of the home for exercise and enrichment. My vehicle is equipped with proper transport seating for dogs, and I keep supplies like water and portable bowls for hot days.

“Emily was great & made sure my cats were taken care of while we were out of state! They all have a unique personality and she rolled with the punches very well! She assisted us with getting our diabetic cat, Phil, picked up for a surprise boarding visit and made sure he had all his supplies with him. Lil and Tommy were missing us but she made sure they were well fed and loved! I would recommend her and definitely use her service again! Overall a great first time Rover experience!”

“Chelsey was great with our pups. She was consistent with updates during and after each visit and never hesitated to ask us questions about their needs. We will certainly trust Chelsey again when we need someone to care for our dogs.”

About: I’ve had pets in the house since I was a toddler including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles. I regularly dogsit my neighbor’s dogs and hope to find more pups and kitties to help out! I am pretty open so I’m available weekdays and most weekends. I’m currently unemployed, so I am available for walks, check ins, and any other pet needs! I love giving my attention to pets and I will only be traveling to client’s homes because my home is already full of many fur babies!

“Thank you so much for taking care of Baymax, even with his unpredictable demeanor. You did amazing and I was so happy it all worked out.”

About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.

About: Since before I could speak I loved animals; growing up in rural Ohio on a pig farm we always had dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats and many reptiles and small mammals running around. I've always had a strong love for caring for animals and especially dogs because I love their endless happiness for the world around them. I'm very comfortable around any size and any breed of dog or cat, or to take care of any other pet need you might have! Aside from growing up around more animals than I can count, I used to volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am comfortable with learning any new needs your pet may have. I currently work night shift 4 days a week so I will be available during the daytime for your pet needs! I will be available to walk, do house check ins and feed/water your pets! Although I'm not currently in a position where I can have my own pet or pet sit from where I live, Im very passionate about working with animals and I'm excited to start meeting your babies and helping you give them the best care you can from your home.

About: I've taken care of many different animals for as long as I can remember, including 2 dogs that I owned for 12+ years, a real dogs best friend, I can take care of yours just as well, or better! I currently have a full-time job, 1 week I'm available 4 days, the next, I'm available 3, any of those days, I'm more than happy to help! I have a nice yard and nice size house with a beautiful Golden retriever that loves everyone and everything, she will keep your dog entertained!

“I don’t leave reviews but Kayla went way above and beyond for me dealing with my dog getting sick and cleaning it and handling my injured dogs bandages coming off and reapplying them for me! I couldn’t give more praise to her and wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you want the best care for you’re pet!”

“Ashlyn treats my kitties as if they were her own and she takes care of everything I need. I love the pictures she sends every times she visits. I feel great knowing they are in her care when I'm gone. I highly recommend Ashlyn!”

About: Animal lover! I was raised with dogs and cats, having them my entire life. I've been pet sitting the for years before companies like Rover even existed! I have been a vegan for 11 years consuming no animal products. Neither do I use or wear anything made from animal products. I consider any animal whether it be a dog, cat or some other type of animal to be a member of the family and should be loved and respected like any other member. Whether your dog/cat wants to walk, play or run, I can be there for him (or her). I can be available for emergency situations if needed. Usually any time any day. As far as I'm concerned it's a dog's/cat's world so we operate on their time! I personally have one cat at the moment. However, I do walk elderly neighbor's dogs for them if needed. I carry dog and cat food in my car in case I see strays and have been known to stop traffic to catch a stray kitten. I I am in the process of starting a non profit cat rescue, from my home. Love and time are not factors when it comes to taking care of animals! I do not allow my cats to roam free. I put them on a nice long lead when they want to go outside and I sit with them. It is the same with dogs.

“Charity has been amazing. This is our first time leaving our home and cats in the care of someone we didn't personally know, and it has been a great experience. Charity sent photos with every visit, asked pertinent questions, and was so kind to our furkids. We will absolutely be using her again!”

“Came on short notice and fed/played with the girls! Gave timely updates and photos. Was very kind!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. My husband and I have owned 3 large dogs for over 10 years now. We have had cats and chickens, and also have owned mules. Our family loves all animals, and I would be so happy to care for your pets, as my own, so you can have peace of mind while enjoying travels! I am very flexible, and willing to travel a bit. I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open .. I would come to your home. I do not have a fenced area for other pets. Our animals know their territory and stay safely here.

“Sydnie is a life saver! I asked for her help at last minute ages she immediately was happy to take care of my senior dog, she is trusted and a person I will definitely consider for the future”
