“Nicole is great! Easy to communicate with and handles our dog with ease! Her enthusiasm is contagious! You an tell she loves to interact with our dog.”


About: I have had both dogs and cats as young as six years old and took care of all of them. I understand the requirements and exprectations for animal care. I have experience with mostly bigger dogs but also have a few years experience with smaller dogs. I also have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. Including that, I have experience with special needs dogs such as blind, deaf, diabetic, and/or epileptic dogs. I hope I can be the person you can trust with your pet(s) to make your life a little easier. I have a very open schedule and can easily work around your needs and expectations. This also includes weekends, holidays, trips, etc. I can work with you! I have always had a fenced yard for my dogs and like to take them to the park so they get a chance to run around. My cats have their own cat trees, they have a window cage so they can get fresh air without getting outside. I also clean their litter box everyday to ensure that they are comfortable and it keeps the smell under control. All of my pets have an automatic water feeder so that they have access to water at all times. They get fed twice a day, morning and evening, and they get a treat midday.

“Bridget is the best! She is always super responsive and flexible. Most importantly she takes fantastic care of our furbabies! She always goes above and beyond!”


About: From having an Irish Wolfhound and Blue Heeler on a farm with cats as well, I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have an indoor kitten, Mabel, and want to extend my expertise to you as well. I have experience pet sitting for friends often (pitbulls, golden doodles, Great Pyrenees, small dogs/toy dogs as well as American shorthair cats) and I am available full time to pet sit. I am currently waiting for my new job to start in a couple weeks so I am looking to pet sit as often as possible at this moment. I can only pet sit at the clients home at this moment but I would try to extend the same treatment I would to my own home and pets to theirs. Cleanliness and safety is of utmost importance caring for pets along with exercise, play, and affection.

About: I’ve helped take care of several dogs, mainly my grandpa’s dog ever since I was a kid. From walking, to feeding, to cuddling, I’m happy to help look after your pets while you’re away. I work full time during the school year (9-4) but have more free time on the weekends! I have full availability June - Mid August, so don’t hesitate to ask if it’s outside of my normal hours in summer! I try to treat my pets with the best care! I currently have two cats. They are regularly fed, played with and snuggled at home. I do my best to keep a clean litter box and clean up after pups.

About: Hi! I’m Riley — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter based in Mansfield, OH. I’m currently a junior at Ohio State University and home for the summer, and I’d love to help care for your pets while you’re away! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including anxious pets and seniors. I offer patient, loving, and reliable care like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, or just some cuddles and attention, I’m happy to help. 🐾 Services I offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Cat care • Pet sitting (in your home) • Flexible holiday/weekend availability You can trust that your pet will be in caring hands. Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet-and-greet! I am currently a full time daycare teacher but I have open weekends and free everyday during the week after 6! I am willing to also work with your schedule! I would not only respect your animals and provide them with great care but I would do the same for your house and animals surrounding environment. I will bring great respect and make sure you feel safe leaving your pets with me.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I am used to taking my two dogs on walks every evening and am comfortable with giving pets medication. I have watched pets of all sizes and ages and believe my flexible schedule would make me the perfect pet sitting candidate. I am a homebody and love spending extra time with your pet when I’m available to do so! I have my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am available at almost anytime of the day and can easily work from home (weekends may vary). I have two dogs of my own, so I am used to a strict pet schedule as far as feeding, potty breaks, play time, etc. I am also used to sleeping with dogs and walking/playing with them regularly.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family.
