“Are dogs are not bad dogs but there are 3 of them and they are all rescues and they have their own quirks. They love Lori and we cannot ask for anything more. She takes care of them and keeps us updated and they are happy when we get back. Lori is great!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Laura was absolutely the best I could ask for!!! My dogs are seniors and can require some additional attention. Laura was so patient, kind and kept me up to speed on how things were going at the house! Laura is truly a professional and an animal lover!! I will definitely request Laura for my next getaway! Thank you Laura for making me feel like my boys were well taken care of and loved!!”

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!
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of various kinds of animals, dogs and cats . I Will respect your love for your animal that you’ve trusted me with. I am Retired, enjoy walking so why not walk a dog? I’m very responsible, and if I say I’ll be there to care for your dog, I will be there. I live in a great neighbourhood with sidewalks. I have no problem taking a dog on a leash to a nearby park. I ALWAYS pick up after dog.
About: I've graduated from Medina Country Career Center's Animal Management and Care program. I also have pet sitting experience in the past taking care of a variety of different dogs and cats and occasionally exotics. I currently work as a housekeeper and am usually off by 3 most afternoons (Though my off time is not 100% guarenetted sometimes I'm not off till after 4) and always have weekends off. My care will vary depending on each animals needs and what the owners are looking for, I cater my care to the unique requirements for each individual.
About: I've had up to 6 dogs in my household at a time. I'm no stranger to cleaning up after them and making sure they are well exercised. I'm also no stranger to conflict. I'm willing to work hard no matter how difficult a pet is. I have a part time job that I work on Full Fridays and Saturday afternoon/evening, so at the moment, I have lots of free time. I have Church on Sunday mornings and other church events Mondays in the evening. I have sufficient and reliable transportation, and I'm more than happy to take your pets to the park, my car is pet friendly. (Prices vary depending on miles driven)
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. I have watched several houses/ pets over the years and am always very conscientious about when arriving to homes/ leaving for safety, security and keeping a close eye on pets.
“Isabel saved us! She stepped in last minute for our week long vacation after the Rover sitter we booked months ago bailed. She did an amazing job with our elderly pup & went above and beyond to help him up and down cold, slippery stairs!! Communicated with us throughout our trip & left our place spotless! Highly recommend!!!”
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 watching neighbors dogs since I was about 12 and have had dogs since second grade. I trained service dogs throughout my entire college career (4 years). The dogs were always puppies that were being trained. I have experience with all kinds of behaviors from training and sizes of dogs ranging from giant to small. My current dog is 91 lbs and my past dog was 15 lbs. I am very experienced with dog reactive dogs as well as other behaviors such as aggression, obsession, possession, stubbornness, etc. I also have experience with senior dog care as well. No matter the pet I will be happy to care for them and make them feel so loved 🩷. I have watched cats, fish, hamsters as well. I will make your pet feel so loved and as comfortable as they can be! They will be taken care of like they are one of my own! ❤️ I am currently working a full time job, 7:30 am to 4 pm.
