About: Retired vet. I’ve cared for and been around dogs/cats for as long as I can remember. I also worked at a pet store during my 4 years of high school. I currently work part time Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Sometimes not all three of those days. Work is on Burbank and close to home. We currently have 2 dachshunds, and looking to have a corgi in the near future. We take them out for daily walks, and have an open area with leads.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. Taking care of animals has always been a love of mine. I don’t currently work because I have a transplant so I have plenty of free time to spend with your animals walking or playing with them! I have two cats of my own and I had a dog but she recently passed away from old age so helping take care of other animals is a passion of mine.
About: I’ve been taking care of lots of different pets for years. Those being some of the many we had in our family home, or family friends I would sit for. I currently commute to college classes, but a lightweight schedule. Most of my afternoons and evenings are free of classes as well as the weekends I don’t have much experience with bringing unfamiliar pets into my home. I do have some cats and a dog at home so I have always taken care of my furry clients in their own house where I feel they are the most comfortable.
“We had to go out of town for two weeks and leave our 13 year old lab at home with a relative. Sylvia came to the house to feed, give meds, take walks with her and give her the attention, that she craved. Sylvia sent us pictures and videos of their time together. She adjusted her schedule to give additional help when needed. We were at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Sylvia.”
“Jenny was fantastic! She was very flexible and professional. She took wonderful care of my dog. I came back from a trip and he was very happy and relaxed. She was easy to work with, great with my pets, and followed all my directions perfectly. I definitely plan to use her again. So happy to have found an awesome dog walker!”
About: I have house / dog/ and cat sit for neighbors and friends for many years and am looking forward to meet you and your pets!! Available briefing in mornings but mainly in afternoons, evenings to check on whatever needed and am always near Wooster for anything that may come up.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

I also have a crate if needed as well as a baby gate.
