Highly-rated overnight sitters - Alger
“Tonya was very helpful in watching our dog. She was pleasant and kind, and I could tell our pup was well taken care of when we picked him up. Her home was clean and we felt very comfortable leaving Willy with her. Will definitely book again!”
“It was our first time leaving our pup since we’ve had her. We need a last minute sitter and Oren took her in and did so good with her. We were given so many updates and pictures any time we asked. She even was taken to a dog park to run and play. We will definitely be booking him for our next vacation.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for over 30 years. I have experience with medically complex animals and making home made dog food. I am happy to care for your four legged kids most days in the afternoon for a drop in. I can also provide evening care and weekends. I am happy to care for your pets in your home to ensure your pets are in their own environment to make them more relaxed.
About: I’m a pet lover who enjoys spoiling and sending back home ;). Unfortunately, my work schedule does not align with the love and care a pet would need full time right now which is why this is perfect for us all! I will only provide boarding for a single pet unless they come from the same family home so they will have all of my attention! I love walks so if your pup does too then it’s a perfect match! You won’t need to worry about your pet on vacation because I promise they will be vacationing themselves! On the days of availability I will be home full time with all attention available to your pet! I only provide care to one pet at a time (unless they are coming from the same household) so they will be very spoiled! I love walks so if your pet does too, we are a perfect match! I have a fenced in yard and do not have any animals in the house. Your dog will have access to the inside and outside. They do need to be trained but I do also keep in mind that accidents happen.
“Emily took great care of our dog, and from pictures and updates it looked like Sunny had the best time and also made friends with her pup! Will definitely bring Sunny back to her in the future!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Amanda. She watched our 2 dogs this week, 2 separate times that we needed to travel overnight. You can tell she genuinely adores every dog she cares for and she is so great about sending updates and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for peace of mind when they have to be away from their fur babies.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all different types of dogs for my entire life! I’m very knowledgeable on certain training skills, but also any needs for your dog. I currently work at a vets office if that gives you more comfort! And 100% guaranteed to give your pet the care and loving they need while you’re away! I am currently working in Wapakoneta at Auglaize Animal Hospital. I’m also a student taking classes at Franklin University online. My current free days are Sundays, Wednesdays, and every other Saturday! For previous pets, I was responsible for feeding, exercising, and showing love and care to the animals! However, my #1 concern is always the safety and health of the animals.
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful and incredibly dependable, always arriving right on time. She took the extra effort to truly get to know our cat’s personality and asked thoughtful questions that put us completely at ease. With her great communication and genuine care, we knew our furry friend was in the best possible hands. Plus, she noticed out-of-the-ordinary behavior and alerted us immediately. 5 stars and highly recommend!”
About: Throughout my senior year of high school I spent time volunteering at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked a lot with cats and dogs. Specifically when caring for the cats, I clean their litter boxes, cages, and filled their bowls. Following the cleaning routine I had plenty of time to interact with the cats in their own ways as every furry friend has their own personality. At home I have a furry friend that I care for and I also cat sit for family members when needed!
About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was little and love to be around them.

I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in an animal daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands. I have also house sat for many cats before :)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alger
About: Dogs are the best! They have been a big part of my life since I was a child. I worked at a doggy hotel for several years while in college and have experience working with breeds ranging from terriers to Great Danes. I would love to take care of your dog while you are away. I work from home! My schedule allows me be around your pet all day and provide it with the attention and care it needs and deserves! I have a big yard that provides plenty of room for your dog to stretch it’s legs. We have a super friendly German Shepherd that loves the mail lady and playing with other furry friends.
About: Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m the owner of Unleashed Peaks, a full-time dog training and behavior coaching business built on calm communication, structure, and trust. Along with training, I also offer structured boarding and daycare in a peaceful, home-style environment where dogs can relax, play, and learn safely. Because I’m a trainer first, everything I do — from playgroups to potty breaks — is intentional. Dogs get enrichment, exercise, and clear routines that build confidence while keeping things fun and low-stress. I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and respected. I love working with all types of dogs, especially those who need a little extra support or structure while you’re away. Whether your pup is here for the day or a full board and train, they’ll be treated like family. Quirks, goofiness, and all. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted dog who’s had a fulfilling stay and maybe learned a few new skills along the way. I’m home full-time and spend most of my day working with dogs through my business, Unleashed Peaks. Because training and structured care are what I do every day, your dog is never left unattended for long and always part of a calm, consistent routine. Drop-offs and pick-ups are flexible - mornings and early afternoons usually work best, but I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule. Whether your pup is here for daycare or boarding, they’ll get a balance of play, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured, and enrichment-based environment that helps them feel secure and relaxed. My home is designed with safety in mind, with separate rest areas, and consistent supervision. We have 5 acres of land. Our fence is in progress right now but we have never had an issue! As a full-time trainer, I understand canine body language and group dynamics deeply. I make sure each dog’s play, rest, and social time match their comfort level. New dogs are introduced slowly and respectfully so they can settle in at their own pace. I keep routines predictable and communication clear so dogs always know what to expect. Whether they are here for a day or an extended stay, every dog is treated like family: safe, understood, and cared for.
About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.
About: We have both personal and professional experience taking care of pets. Kama has been working in and with dog/cat kennels for 7+ years now. I (Bruce) have had dogs small and large pretty much my entire life, as well as a few cats here and there. We love animals and want the best care for your furry family members! Kama works from home so taking care of pet's immediate needs won't be a problem and Bruce is a real estate agent which allows for a flexible schedule. We have a fenced-in back yard with a 6-foot tall privacy fence, pet's run free in the home and we have an extra crate if needed.
About: Animals are our passion. Dogs over 1 must be fixed. We’ve loved many makes and models and enjoy getting to love yours just like you would. We have a beautiful home and plenty of laps. It is our daily routine!! Our world revolves around the pets we are caring for while they are here. We ensure the upmost personal care is given. We offer doggy daycare and overnight stays. Dogs have free roam of our 5500 square foot home. We have a fenced in yard, we have a doggy play facility and crates if they prefer time away from play.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and fish as a child. I love all animals and would be more than happy to give someone peace of mind knowing their fur-baby is safe and well taken care of while you are away. I do work full time but am able to stop by 3-4 times a day or work with whatever schedule your pet needs. I am pretty flexible on what days or times are needed. I love animals and will make sure your pet is happy and taken care of when I visit. I will make sure food and clean water is readily available, litter boxes will be cleaned and trash taken out. Anything that they need will be available for them and kept clean. Treats will also be provided of course.
About: With 25+ years of experience with pets and livestock I have had the privilege of having a house full of dogs. With two of my own currently I have had the opportunity to care for many dogs over the years and understand how important their care is when your away for an extended period of time. Knowing the absence of parents can be a stressful time for animals I offer comfort and care to ease the stresses of change in routine. My daily routine includes early mornings, outdoor activities, working full time from home and have the flexibility to host a pet or do drop-ins during the work day. At this time I am perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Accounting online and spend most of my free time around home. I understand the comfort and safety of animals is the upmost priority when caring for my own as well as others. Being sure they are on the property or secured when on walks as well as keeping them away from other animals and people that they might not be familiar with to avoid any conflict.
About: I provide a peaceful, attentive home where your dog won’t just be ‘watched’, they’ll be loved, played with, and cared for like one of my own. I am a self-employed and independent contractor for real estate and a nonprofit so my schedule for work can be made around taking care of your pets. I am home many hours of the day and most evenings. I have a very large apartment which is more like a condominium. I have over 1000 ft.² of open living in kitchen area where dogs can run and play. I also have a large lot of over an acre behind my place where I can walk the dogs on a leash to keep them safe so they don’t run off but plenty of space for us to walk and get exercise. I also Own a secondary property that has a fenced in yard area where I can take them to run off leash and play additionally.
About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and am currently mommy to one dog, four cats, two goats and a sassy pet cow.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I was formally apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. Due to school work and graduation plans, I am no longer a member, but all the skills I’ve acquired remain strong! This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.
About: I grew up watching a lot of Animal Planet, back when Animal Channel was Steve Erwin, Jeff Corwin, Meerkat Manor, and various Vet shows, and I've always had cats around me at home and at my grandparent's. I've also walked and cared for dogs for family off and on over the years. I promise to do my best to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I can't do any boarding or stay overs as I have two of my own cats I need to love on, but I'm currently part-time, so I am fairly flexible to make time for your fur babies otherwise. I fully understand that some pets want space from strangers outside the necessary while others need someone to hang out with them and tire them out. I'm comfortable to providing whatever your pet needs.
