About: I have been watching pets for years and would love to provide great care to yours as well! I know how important your pet is to you and you can trust that I have years of experience taking care of animals. I have lived with pets my entire life, so I know how to recognize body language and anxiety. That knowledge is supplemented by my experience volunteering at animal shelters for four years. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Outside of my classes, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I currently cannot keep pets at my home. However, I am always happy to watch pets in your home! I can overnight petsit or do only day visits or dog walks. Pet parents have trusted me taking care of their pets in their home for years.
“Paige dropped in on our dog twice a day for 4 days while I was away on a trip and I can't recommend her enough! She was very professional, prompt, and had great communication before and during my trip. She went above and beyond taking care of him and made sure to get all of his energy out during her drop ins. Louie made a new friend and will miss seeing Paige :)”
“We are Sylvester and Pippa, two tuxedo cats, who were "abandoned" for 12 days by our humans while they went on vacation without us. We wholeheartedly give Colby 8 big paws up!! She was so awesome and sweet that we barely missed our humans. Colby provided a nice assortment of photos each day to them showing her feeding and playing with us making them really miss us. And, because we got lots of daily attention we didn't have to beg for it when our humans finally came home. Plus, our humans came home to a spotless litterbox! We love Colby!”
“Sarah hit it off immediately with our furbabies and we so appreciated her visits with them. Would definitely recommend and hope to be able to have her next time we need a sitter or drop in!!!”
“Hallie was so awesome with our Frank! She went above and beyond while we were away for the weekend! I Will definitely be booking with Hallie again!”
“I was so thrilled that Victoria was able to check in on Sapphire while we went out of town. She sent us great pictures and even brought in a large package that had been delivered while we were gone. I highly recommend her to anyone with dog sitting needs.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones have all sought my care for many years for both their dogs and cats. Being a teacher, I have the entire summer to help care for pets, so choose me for your pet care needs! I have very open availability for walks, daily care, and overnight care. I work as an elementary school teacher during the majority of the year, but my summers are completely free! Each pet and each household is different, so catering to the needs of each pet is a priority. Following diet instructions, making sure pets get proper play and exercise time, and lots and lots of love are all priorities of mine.
“Cody was exactly as I expected. He bonded right away with my pups and they seemed to feel the same way. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was born. I currently have 5 dogs and 3 cats. All different ages, sizes and breeds! Pets are family, I hope you trust me with yours! Im currently out of work for the summer - so I am completely free and willing to help out whenever needed. even last minutes work! Caring for an animal in the animals own home, i will ensure a safe and trustworthy environment by following the rules the owners leave, not doing anything different or changing routine, but sticking to the owners routine and keeping a close eye on the pet!
About: I've been around animals all my life, grown up with many different species, and had many dogs growing up. I currently have a 1 year old German Shepherd, a 3 year old shichon, and a 5 year old Cocker Spaniel. I worked at a dog boarding facility for a year, where we feed, water, walk, and play with the pups. I've also volunteered at a Greyhound Rescue, where we walked, lifted, fed, watered and gave medicine to the retired racers. I'll provide your babies the love and attention they crave. I currently work from home, so I'll be with your babies all day long. I've volunteered at a few animal rescues and sanctuaries. I can do any diet preference, kibble, raw, etc. I can give medicine, and take pups on a 30 min- 1hr walk each day, or any preference you have. I was in the Navy for 9 years and I'm going to school to be a veterinarian. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to work with your fur babies. Thank you for considering me. I take my 3 dogs out at least 4 times a day, and feed them twice a day per their feed schedule. I have young nephews between the ages of 2 and 8. They are all very loving and respectful of animals. I will treat your pup as if they were my own, but of course approaching slowly the first meeting! If you would like, I could always bring my puppy as a playmate, since she's very good with other dogs(:
“Thanks. Kitties looked great and welcomed us with open paws.”
“Rachel was great with my cat, Poppy! Poppy usually warms up slowly to new people but she instantly hit it off with Rachel! On top of that, Rachel sent daily updates and was very communicative which put my mind at ease while I was away. I knew Poppy was in great hands!!”
