I will play, walk, or take to dog parks if wanted! I have my own animals but I know the importance of getting exercise or socializing during the day! I am a part time sub during the school year while taking classes. I am off during the summer and want to have a summer job. I am in school to become a teacher! I love all animals and I have a Pit bull of my own and she is my sweet angel! I am willing to walk your dogs or just be in the home and play. I understand the importance of exercise during the day when you have to work. I will follow any given instructions for any ages or animals.
About: I provide dependable, personalized care with the added benefit of pre-veterinary experience, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, medications, and providing loving, dependable care for dogs of all sizes. I am currently a stay-at-home mom trying to make a little extra money while providing reliable, loving, genuine, and flexible pet care services locally for my community. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while following their normal routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care instructions.
About: I worked at the San Diego Zoo for almost 20 years. My work there included animal care and nutrition. I love all types of dog and cat! Having just returned to Ohio from San Diego my schedule is quite flexible. I take care of my own pets, go to the gym and volunteer remotely for Wildlife Madagascar. In pet care i prioritize ilove and positive reinforcement. As the wife of a locksmith I'm also very meticulous about safety and security (i.e., I always double check to make sure that leash/harness clips and locks are secure).
About: I grew up with a Chow until I was twelve. I've taken care of Husky's, Pits, Poodles and German Shepards. I love caring for dogs, playing with them, making sure they're fed, walked, and generally cared about. I work part-time at a local Co-Op. I am available most of the time in the afternoon or evening. I enjoy pet care as a gig job because it gives me the opportunity to care for animals in my local community, while also getting to help out my neighbors! I don't have a dog, but have cared for many. Some were surprises, some were expected. There's a dog park nearby my house, the neighborhood dogs are friendly, and the owners are responsible with them about interaction.

As a current full time Remote Veterinary student, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available 5 days week in the mornings and afternoons. When I care for your pet in your home my routine is to treat them like family and your home like a sacred space. I am more than willing to respect all boundaries put in place in order to do my job properly. I am a helicopter pet parent so your little guy or gal is safe with me.
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life! I started "professionally" dog-sitting at 16, and have since had experience with everything from puppies to seniors of all personalities. I am comfortable and familiar with reactive dogs and don't mind anyone who needs a little extra care! I can't set specific availability hours on my calendar, so I instead have them listed below! I'm somewhat flexible, especially Fri-Sun, so please feel free to reach out with any questions :) MONDAY - THURSDAY Available for one mid-day visit (11am-1pm) Available for two afternoon visits (4pm-10pm) FRIDAY - SUNDAY Available for morning, mid-day, and afternoon visits! (6am-10pm) I'm working FOR your pet, so don't be afraid to make specific requests. I don't mind if your dog needs to be sung nursery rhymes while he eats his dinner - just let me know!
“Corinna was fantastic! She was so attentive to the dogs and just sat and played with them the entire time she was there. She communicated well and took pictures so I could see what they were up too. I would definitely recommend her.”
