“Katelyn did a great job caring for our dog when we really needed someone to help us out. I reached out to her because of the other positive reviews here on River. I’m so glad I did as she pays attention to detail and seems to have a genuine love of dogs. I will be using her again in the future anytime we need someone.”

“Marisa took such good care of our dog while we were away. She updated us with pictures, videos and notes on each drop in and helped us feel at ease about being away from our dog. It was clear to us that Marisa treated our dog with love and care. She respected our home and pet and has proven to be trustworthy and honest. We’ll definitely use her services again in the future!”

“Alana did such a wonderful job watching Zoey. Zoey was so happy when we got home. We would love to use her again to babysit the next time we are in town.”

About: Hello! I’m a recent college graduate and a devoted pet lover working from a home office. I offer reliable, flexible, and high-quality care for your furry family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you are away. My Pet Care Experience My passion for animal care is rooted in a lifetime of experience with both dogs and cats. I am currently the proud owner of three cats with unique needs: Stomy (my rescued Orange Tabby) taught me patience, Sheba (my Highlander Lynx) keeps me active with high-energy play, and Atticus (my Siamese) taught me the importance of constant social engagement. In addition to my cats, I have extensive experience with dogs. Until recently, I was a dedicated owner to three rescued dogs who passed away peacefully last year. Caring for them, especially in their golden years, gave me deep experience with senior pet care, administering medication, and providing the gentle, compassionate support that older or shy animals need. Whether you have an energetic puppy or a slow-moving senior, I have the hands-on experience to make them feel safe and comfortable. Services & Activities I Provide When I visit your home, my goal is to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. My drop-in visits and house-sitting services include: * Feeding & Hygiene: Adhering strictly to feeding schedules, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and picking up waste. * Enrichment & Exercise: For cats, this means interactive play to burn off energy. For dogs, this includes stimulating walks, fetch, or backyard playtime. * Safety & Home Care: As a pet owner, I am hyper-aware of "door dashers." I practice strict safety protocols when entering and exiting to prevent escapes. I also bring in mail, water plants, and ensure your home is left tidy and secure. * Updates: You will receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My Schedule & Availability Because I work remotely from my home office, my schedule is my biggest asset for your peace of mind. Unlike sitters with rigid 9-to-5 commutes, I have open flexibility throughout the day. * I can easily accommodate mid-day drop-ins, early mornings, or evening visits. * I am available for last-minute requests if your plans change. * I have the time to stay a little longer if your pet seems lonely or needs extra cuddles. I understand that inviting a sitter into your home requires a great deal of trust. I treat every pet I meet with the same affection I give my own crew, and I treat your home with the utmost respect. My schedule: FLEXIBLE I currently work remotely from my home office, providing me with open availability throughout the week. Because I am home-based, I am highly reliable and able to commit to specific time slots that suit your pet's feeding and medication schedule. I have the freedom to step away from my desk to ensure your pets get the quality time and attention they deserve, exactly when they need it. Safety begins the moment I unlock your door. As a cat dad to three active felines, I am hyper-aware of "door darters" and curious paws. I practice a strict "look down before you step" policy and always double-check that doors and windows are securely latched before leaving. inside the home, I keep a close eye on your cat’s health and mood, ensuring they are eating, using the litter box normally, and engaging comfortably. I also make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it—tidy, secure, and peaceful.

“Alexis was a fantastic sitter. She was always on time and sent nice pictures and updates to let us know how our pets were doing. Definitely would rebook.”

“Emma is always wonderful. She is timely and professional. I never have to worry that my cats will be well taken care of when I go out of town.”

“Sydney is amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she was nothing but awesome. She always sent me pictures of my dog and even brought in my Amazon packages. Her time is also very flexible. I had to move some days around.”

About: I love animals and creating a safe environment for them. I have cared for animals as small as hamsters and as big as dogs, as well as special needs dogs! We currently don’t have a pet of our own due to financial reason, so we hope to give all of our love to your pet while they’re here with us. I am a full time photographer who lives in an apartment! My schedule has huge gaps of free time and I have to get my animal fix some how! Let me love your fur baby while you’re away ♥️ Since I live in an apartment I can’t have animals with me anymore, but I have much experience in animal care. My sister is a manager of an animal care facility and has taught me everything I know over the years!

“Hailey was great! ! She’s was on time for each visit, attentive to our cat, and sent photos with each visit. She went beyond a basic visit and left a note to summarize her time with our cat. I would highly recommend her.”

About: As a teacher and animal lover, I have a niche for caring for kids and animals. I love dogs and can provide the love and attention they need thanks to my own dog and taking care of the pets of friends and family. I’m currently a full-time teacher, so I can only offer 24 hour boarding on the weekends and holidays. I am, however, available to do stop ins or walking after 5pm on weekdays. 🐶Due to an influx in last minute stay requests, acceptance of a last minute request without a required Meet and Greet will result in being charged DOUBLE for the service! (Last minute, 1st time bookings put both myself and my dog at risk—if the guest is not a good fit!)🐶 My home offers an unfenced backyard for your dog(s) to run and play, but if your dog(s) is not trained, they will have to stay on leash. With this in mind, I frequent the dog park at Huron Park and take frequent walks to maintain exercise and help to release pent up energy. I also have a small, 12 pound Poochon to keep your dog(s) company. Animals in my care have free range and will not be crated unless necessary due to behavior or if it is an established routine (for bedtime, etc).

“Macy did an excellent job checking in on our dog while we were on vacation in Sandusky around July 4th. We need two visits to our rental property. She responded quickly and I felt our dog was in good hands while we were out. I would recommend Macy as your pet sitter.”

About: 🐱 PETS ARE FAMILY HERE 🐶 I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. My first dog (A basset hound named Lucky) and cat (an orange tabby named Tigger) began my love for animals back when I was only a child. Because of my love of animals, i’ve been the one friends and family members have turned to for pet care for years. Suffice to say, I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. 🗓️AVAILABILITY I am available 7 days a week during most of the day. I will give reliable and consistent care to your fur babies. I am currently not working, so my schedule is very free. I can be available at pretty much any time needed after about 10 am. I am not accepting boarding so i’m not sure what to say here. I will definitely treat your animals with respect and make sure they are safe in my interactions with them.

About: Hello! I would love to meet your fur babies! I have experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve been taking care of dogs since my childhood, and I have an older sister who has been involved in training and grooming for over 20 years. I have worked with her and learned from her along the way so I have residual professional knowledge in addition to personal experience and a knack for communicating with animals! I work part time, but my schedule is flexible so don’t hesitate to reach out! I will typically always be able to work something out! Happy to provide any pet-related services necessary in your own home. Feeding, potty breaks, playtime, just chilling and spending time, whatever it is you may need!

About: As to getting my first pet ever at the age of 21 (now 27) to my rescue pit mix and to now owning 5 animals, 2 dogs and 3 cats, I’m an animal lover. I’ve helped family and friends with pet sitting their fur babies while they’re on vacation even if it’s for a weekend or a week. I am available any day during the weekday and also available on weekends for any stays or drop in visits if needed for any reason. I have a partially fenced in yard so I do go out with the dogs on leashes. I can also crate your dog if needed.

“So responsible and friendly. Great to have a check in.”

About: My first best friend was a dog, and we always had pets growing up, whether it was a dog, cat, or guinea pigs. I currently have a 13 year old terrier mix at home; I adopted her 9 years ago from the humane society. I am comfortable with timid/shy dogs, high energy dogs, and every dog in between. I will give your dog all of the pets and snuggles that they need to help them, and you, get through the day. I live right between Milan and Berlin Heights, working part-time with a flexible schedule. I can do: -Drop-in visits once or more a day -Daycare on weekdays or weekends -Boarding on weekdays or weekends I have a large yard with no fence, I do have a lead if you're comfortable with me using it. Any dogs will need to have a collar with tags and a leash. I will walk your dog in the yard with a leash for potty breaks and exercise. There are a few steps to get into the house, but I can carry smaller dogs (up to 30lbs) if necessary. There are no children in the home, and no smoking. I have a 13 year old medium-sized terrier mix at home. For drop-in visits I can be flexible with times and can drop-in a few times a day if needed.

“Alexis is absolutely amazing! Great with my dog, super trustworthy and was super happy working with my dog. Definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
