About: I have always had a love for animals. My husband calls me Snow White because even ducks follow me. Everywhere I go animals follow me.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I am a certified dog groomer as of 2019. I also take in stray kittens and find them vet help as well as their forever families. I currently don't work, my kids are home for the summer. I have 3 cats and a dog. My animals are feed 2 times a day. I used to be a mobile groomer so I have experience with coming to clients homes and discussing comfort levels and needs of their pets.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I’ve been dog sitting all different breeds and ages for over 5 years. The families I pet sit for always recommend me to other families, so I decided to expand on that! Along with my experience, I’m also looking to go into an animal-related career field, so I enjoy being around animals any chance I get. I’m currently working full time at the Toledo Zoo; however, I do get one hour breaks, which I can use to give potty breaks if within a reasonable distance to my job. I’m looking for a different job, so there is a possibility my availability will open up more. I love getting to know all types fur babies! I can deal with any personality type, as well as give medications if needed. My dog at home gets 4 pills a day, so I relate! I’m a very big communicator with the owners while dog sitting, whether it’s any concerns or just cute pictures!

About: I have experience cat and dog sitting for various breeds and ages, and have been doing this for most of my adult life—I love it. From taking your dogs on walks, staying over night with your kitties or puppies, or even taking care of them when they are sick (I have experience with diabetic cats), I would love to make sure your pet is taken care of just as you would yourself. I’ve dealt with rambunctious wire hairs, skittish kittens, and everything in between. I am so excited to meet your favorite doggo or kitto and love on them! I currently work a full-time 9-5 job. When it comes to drop-ins and walks I am available before 8:30 am and after 5:30 pm during the week. My schedule on the weekends is more open. When housesitting I am available to stay overnight for as long as needed, but do want owners aware of my work schedule to make sure it will work for them and their animals. However you choose for me to care for your pets inside your home I am ready and prepared to do! I love cuddling with your pets and making sure they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. All I ask is for clear instructions so I can keep your fur baby’s schedule and environment as consistent as possible.

About: Puppies or Good ol' boys, I have taken care of them all. Is your dog a runner like me? I will take them on a jog if you like! I have a 3 yr old husky at home, so I am used to high-energy dogs, and I also grew up with lumbering labs & attentive german shepherd mixes and loved them all. I am excellent at following your directions to the letter, making sure your furry family member gets the outdoor time, walks and feeding rituals that they need! I am an opera singer, so when I am not out-or-town for work (a.k.a. when it says I am available on my calendar), I am available to pet sit! I am also a substitute teacher, but that will never conflict with a pre-arranged pet sitting engagement. I am a responsible adult, if you leave written instructions (which I prefer) I guarantee they will be followed to a 't'. I only take care of animals in your home; In an emergency, I could bring them to my house but prefer not, as I have a 3yr old husky who is in training right now and isn't ready for any furry friends in his space yet. I will treat your furry family member and your home like my own, keeping things as clean as I found them. You can definitely feel at ease with me in your home.

“Linsee was amazing with my fur babies, Niko and grace adored her and her son. They gave them lots of attention and love while I was gone, and it was so no nice leaving them knowing they would be greatly cared for. Definitely recommend booking with Linsee”


“Kinsey was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Can’t say thank you enough for the great communication/photos of my pets. It was such a huge relief having a sitter I felt was fully capable, especially having a more reactive dog. Definitely will rebook for future help with my pets. Thanks again Kinsey!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. Their quirky personalities and cuddly moments never get old! While I’m a lifelong cat lover, I also have a soft spot for dogs and have plenty of experience caring for both. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’ve been there every step of the way. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just companionship, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. I work full time at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Even with a busy schedule, I make time for what matters—so I’m available for pet care visits after work on weekdays, anytime after 2 PM on Fridays, and fully open on weekends. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pets feel loved and cared for, even when your schedule gets hectic. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority, whether they have paws that pounce or tails that wag. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding routines, and I always keep a close eye on behavior and health. Whether it’s a curious cat or an energetic pup, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, gentleness, and lots of love. You can trust that they’re in safe, caring hands.

I understand the importance of transparency and will love sharing pictures and videos with you (with your permission) for your piece of mind while you're away.

Samantha M.
“Samantha M. is my niece, and lived with us for a period of about 4 years while she attended college. At that time, she brought with her Precious, a terrier Samantha had rescued from a road side a few years before, where she was starving, mangy, emaciated, and, as we later found out, pregnant. Samantha, barely a teenager at the time, and alone in the house, delivered Precious' pups single-handedly. Samantha is a caring, loving, "animal-whisperer" of sorts, who seems to be able to lovingly communicate with numerous species. I cannot speak highly enough this young woman's capacity to care for, protect, and love all animals.”

She did a wonderful job and all 3 of my cats were given plenty of love. She sent pictures and a few videos our way. I will be using her again and would recommend others to also use her.”


Nicholas N.
“Nicholas took care of our kitten, Whiskey several times in his first year. He made sure he was fed wet food, kibble and always had fresh water. Nicholas played with Whiskey (who is a very active house cat) and cleaned his litter box daily. Nicholas is very caring and I would highly recommend him to watch your pet anytime.”

This is the fourth time that Evie has stayed at our home to care for our 2 dogs while we've been on vacation. She's always done a terrific job caring for our pets and our home. We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks, and came home to a clean home, watered plants and washed towels. We recommend her highly.

Susan did an excellent job in caring for Frida. She is everything you want in someone caring for your pet, dependable, caring and knowledgeable. She kept me posted with good communication and photo as well. Frida developed a hematoma right before she came and she was super in following the instructions provided by the Vet. She is simply the best sitter i have had,
