Maya did an awesome job sitting our home, cat, chickens, 2 cockatiels, and kinda hyper and quirky 60 lb dog for a week. She sent daily updates and pictures to let us know all was going well. Our fur babies had a great time with Maya and were well taken care of. Your animals and home are in good hands with Maya!

About: I've taken care of many foster pets from puppies to seniors and have always had 2 or more dogs in my household. I volunteered for a few years at a local shelter cleaning cages and giving those babes as much love and attention as I could. I hope your pup and I can have a great time! I'm currently not working so I am available for your pup anytime! I'm dedicated to giving them the best care that I can and often! I have a sweet rescue husky of my own who loves to meet new friends. Your pup will enjoy running around on our 3 acres or even a trip to the park! If your pup prefers walks I live in a large suburb with many great routes!

About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

I currently have a very flexible schedule, but please message me to determine my exact availability. I will take great care of your dogs in your home, while being respectful of your space and pets.

About: Student Affairs professional for OHIO and love all furry animals. I had an amazing Norwegian Elkhound Mix and 2 cats. Now I have 9 month lab mix and 1 cat. Both very friendly and good with everyone. I'm very patient, optimistic, and kind. I have experience with pups & senior dogs. I'm comfortable administering medication, including injections and promise to love your pet unconditionally while they are in my care. Depending on the needs of your pets they'll enjoy at least one walk a day, potentially a hike, and get plenty of attention throughout their stay with me. Before rescuing my current dog, I trained two Great Pyrenees from 6 months to 3 years for a friend. I'm comfortable with all dogs and cats and hope I can help provide care for you soon! During the school year I work from home 2 days a weeks and in the summer 3 days! This gives me plenty of flexibility to check on your pets as needed. Additionally, I have the flexibility to check during my lunch break if needed when I'm in the office. I have a fenced in backyard and will gate off sections of our home until we know the dog is comfortable in our home and with our dog & cat. We block off the stairs to keep them on the ground floor with us.

We loved Lena and so did our pup! Lena stayed in our home for almost a week and took great care of our dog while we were gone. She was great at communicating with us, giving me plenty of peace of mind since we don't leave our girl often. We returned to a home that probably looked better than we left it and a happy and at ease dog. Definitely recommend and would happily rebook!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly treat every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I stay active, love spending time outdoors, and always make sure pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, giving medications, or just making sure your dog gets plenty of playtime, I’ve got it covered! I’m currently working part time but I’m very flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights, overnights, etc. if you need me, I’m there to take care of your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine, gets lots of attention, and feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

Paige is WONDERFUL, and I would trust her with my dog any day :) when I had her watch my pup for the weekend, she took amazing care of him. She did the obvious (let him out, fed him, walked him), as well as took him on a long hike so he could get out, get some fresh air, and let his energy out. She is someone who genuinely cares about animals, and she would do an exceptional job with any animal who is in her care.

Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.
