About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.
“Monica took great care of my dog, Lusia, while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend her as a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Cassandra really helped us out on short notice, took our pup all day, and did another great job caring for our Sophie. Took care of our GR pup with kindness and patience, and her kids are also great with her.”
“Mikaela is always great with our boys! She sends updates with pics daily and they always come home happy! We love using her for our dogs as their home away from home!”
“Jessica and Theodore took great care of Norton and he seemed to love all the attention from their four young children. They sent lots of pics and updates and I felt very reassured that he was in good hands.”
“Angeline and Dave were awesome with Zoey while I was out of town for work. Angeline made sure to send me pictures every day and it was really cool to see my pup getting along with their dog Benson. They were even thoughtful enough to put a little goodie bag with a note into her bag of stuff that I found when I got home! I’m already booked to have Zoey hang out with them again this week and I’m excited to use them again for my work trips in the future!”
“This was the best pet sitting experience we could have hoped for! It is our first time using Rover and Laurie was an absolute delight. She treated Sadie as if she were her own and updated us daily with photos. We will 100% recommend and use her again ! 10/10!”
“Millie had another wonderful weeklong stay with Leslie and Anthony. We can’t thank them enough for accommodating our Millie into their lives !! Millie loves them both !! Thank you so much.”
“Luna had another successful stay with Michael. He's the Beaver County dog whisperer. Luna had a great time with her fur buddies and her human friend, Micheal. Get Michael. He's great.”
“Really awesome experience leaving our 3 cats with Wendy. The room they got to stay it was very cool and perfect for the cats. I also really appreciate the little things like playing with the cats & Timely updates. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

Your cats will be well-cared for and happily waiting for your return!
About: I’ve always loved cats and have been caring for them for years, both my own and for friends and family. I understand that every cat has a different personality, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or independent. I’m patient and gentle, and I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m happy to feed them, clean litter boxes, play with them, and give them all the attention they need. Your cat will be treated just like part of my family.

I have a fenced in yard with .6 acres of land inside the fence. My dogs are both hound type dogs that love to run and play all day!

About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!

“We love Wendy. My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner. We've moved too far away now, but she was so great to help us with last minute doggy daycare when we had a day of house showings before our move. We will miss her. She pampers the pets that stay with her. It's obvious that they become part of her extended family. You will not regret booking Wendy, I promise.”

I have a half acre of fenced in area, and can separate my top and bottom floor of my home if your pet needs their own space! Outside play time is always supervised to ensure safety.
“Booked doggy daycare for the day and as always Cassandra was great! My husband and I have peace of mind while we are away because we know our puppy is in good hands. Cassandra sends updates/pictures and stays in communication. Best part is that our puppy loves her and her family!”
“Basil came home tired and worn out. I think she had a good time staying at Heather's with her man, and the kids! Would recommend her! Shes punctual with replying back, very informative, and fairly prices, and she accommodated basil with her special need.”
“Tom and Christina were wonderful sitters and such kind people. It was 100% clear how much fun our pup Mango had staying with them for the day. Their house is open and their yard is so spacious, plenty of space for everyone to run around, Mango came home so dang tired and happy. I am eagerly waiting to book them again.”
“Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!”
About: I have taken care of countless animals in my life. I truly adore them. I've raised llamas, mini donkeys, chickens, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, macaws, fish..to name a few! I believe animals are family. They enrich our lives and bring us happiness! I am currently retired and available frequently for boarding and/or daycare. I clean my yard daily, so no waste is evident. It is very important to me that your dog has all shots and is on a flea/tick preventative medication. I have a fenced yard, a doggie door that leads to the yard and a friendly labradoodle. I also have a cat, but she stays in her "own" room.
About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.
“Kasha & Meg are great! I wasn’t worried about my pups at all while they were there. I got plenty of updates/pictures and they were extremely kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello, I’m Kandis, a lifelong Steubenville local with a deep love for animals. Growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and life stages, from playful puppies and the ‘terrible twos’ to senior companions who need gentle care. I love how pets enrich our lives. Whether it’s daily dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or medication reminders, I treat every pet like my own, with the patience and affection they deserve. I’m currently building my dedicated pet sitting and dog walking business in the Steubenville area.

I deeply respect your home and privacy and will follow all instructions for your pets and property without issue. Whether caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their safety and comfort come first. My home features a fenced backyard, separate levels for quiet time if needed, and kennels for flexible arrangements. I have two friendly dogs of my own (a Bernedoodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) who love making new friends and providing companionship during stays. I prepare healthy homemade treats like dehydrated fruit and jerky, and I’m experienced managing picky eaters and sensitive stomachs.

About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy

I care for my own pets daily so I’m very familiar with providing consistent, attentive care for both calm and high-energy dogs. During walks and visits, I will treat every pet like my own, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while following their normal routine!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I am currently a dog groomer and am around them every single day! I I do work full time but my job is only 2 minutes away from my house. I am usually off on the weekends and have more time to spend with fur babies. I have a fenced yard and 2 sweet dogs to keep your fur baby company and play with. If you would like your dog crated, let me know!
About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.
About: I have been taking care of animals, mostly dogs and cats since I was 10 years old when I got my first puppy and have had dogs and cats ever since. I have a passion for animals and love taking care of them. Whenever friends or family need assistance taking care of their pet, I kindly oblige! I am only working part time at the moment so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. Mornings and afternoons are preferred for drop ins are preferred. I can do any time on the weekends. It varies depending on the situation. I typically take the dog for a walk or if there is a fenced in yard, I’ll take the dog out and play in the fenced in area.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started caring for them when I was old enough(mainly cats and dogs). Feeding, walking, bathing, and professional experience with dog boarding/daycare. I’m currently in college and have an light course schedule this semester so I have a lot of free time to work with animals. Monday-Thursday I’m available anytime after 11. Fridays I’m available anytime after 1. Weekends I am available anytime. I am respectful of feeding/walking/playing schedules and I will provide what is asked of me. Also, if any bathing is requested I am willing to do this as well
About: I’ve had animals since birth. Large and small dogs, many, many cats, and even a few caged animals. I cared for my last dog for 16 years and have experience with senior care because of him, including medication and mobility help and he was 100lbs+. I love animals of all kinds, I’ve worked for a stable where we took care of 30+ horses per day, and as you can see from my photos I gravitate towards all sorts of animals even goats, alligators, and llamas! I work part time but have weird hours so I can also help with weird hours. I have 3 days off every week and have open availability on those days, the other days I’m available before or after work. I’m not available for care in my own home. However when I am in your home I will treat it even better then I do my own. I will take care of your animals just like I would my own and give them the proper attention and care they need and deserve, especially tailored to how you want things done.
About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.
“Monica took great care of my dog, Lusia, while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend her as a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Cassandra really helped us out on short notice, took our pup all day, and did another great job caring for our Sophie. Took care of our GR pup with kindness and patience, and her kids are also great with her.”
“Mikaela is always great with our boys! She sends updates with pics daily and they always come home happy! We love using her for our dogs as their home away from home!”
“Jessica and Theodore took great care of Norton and he seemed to love all the attention from their four young children. They sent lots of pics and updates and I felt very reassured that he was in good hands.”
“Have never felt more comfortable leaving my Gypsy with anyone. Yes, even family. She acted like it was her second home from day one due to Joni making her so welcome. Joni is truly a god sent with animals. When we picked her up she was so glad to see me then went back to playing. I can’t thank her enough and will recommend her to all my friends. Thank you Joni and will definitely see you again!”
“Millie had another wonderful weeklong stay with Leslie and Anthony. We can’t thank them enough for accommodating our Millie into their lives !! Millie loves them both !! Thank you so much.”
“Luna had another successful stay with Michael. He's the Beaver County dog whisperer. Luna had a great time with her fur buddies and her human friend, Micheal. Get Michael. He's great.”
“Really awesome experience leaving our 3 cats with Wendy. The room they got to stay it was very cool and perfect for the cats. I also really appreciate the little things like playing with the cats & Timely updates. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Megan and family were great with Rue. They kindly opened up their home for Christmas. Rue was a good boy, loved their dog and kids but he especially loved Megan. I will definitely be reaching out to Megan next time. Thank you so much for taking care of my good boy. I appreciated the communication and pictures you shared.”
“Heather was easy to talk to and she was able to help us in a last minute pinch. Jake loved being with the kids. I look forward to using her and her family again in the future!”
“We had a great experience and will definitely be boarding again!! Easy pick up and drop off, great communication with daily picture updates, and our pup LOVED the doggie door!!”
“Heidi and her family were great. Zoey and Lucy were great dog hosts and got along with Sage very well. They have a nice fenced-in yard and a very dog friendly house. Great experience, would recommend and will be at the top of my list next time I need someone to watch the doggo.”

About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish.

“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
