“Tracy is the most thoughtful dogsitter, she kept me posted with photos and videos of my pup. My dog came home smiling from all of the fun she had with Tracy and her sweet dog.”

“Kim was amazing!!! I was totally comfortable leaving my dogs with her. It was obvious that my dogs had been treated like queens the entire time. Kim sent me frequent updates, including pictures! Best experience. :)”

“Rebecca was so easy to work with. She met us outside and our girl was right at ease with her. Rebecca sent us pictures and intermittent updates on how she was doing. I would absolutely reach out to Rebecca again in the future!”


About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I also run a nonprofit animal sanctuary, so animal care is a major part of my everyday life. I have experience with rescue animals, seniors, shy and anxious pets, medication routines, mobility limitations, and animals who simply need a little more patience and understanding. Senior and special-needs pets are especially welcome. I’m comfortable helping with stairs, mobility support, medications, slower-paced walks, and adjusting care to whatever helps your pet feel safest and most comfortable. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets plenty of supervision, companionship, enrichment, and one-on-one attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I treat every animal as an individual and try to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible while they’re in my care. I’m home full-time and animal care is already a major part of my daily routine through my nonprofit sanctuary and rescue. That gives me a very flexible schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort always come first. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take introductions slowly when other animals are involved. I’m experienced with rescue animals, seniors, anxious pets, and animals who need extra supervision or their own space. I’m also comfortable with medications, mobility assistance, crates, gates, and keeping pets safely separated when needed.
About: I have experience with an array of animals. I have personally owned Dobermans, Shih Tzus, a husky, and French Bulldogs! Over the past 3 years I have begun fostering and helping a bit in rescuing kittens and a few litters of stray dogs! Taking care of and helping animals is a true passion of mine! I am currently enrolled in hybrid college. I spend another portion of my time on the farm taking care of things that need done! With my schedule being flexible I have availability to adjust when needed for animal care duties! We have a property of about 46 acres with an electric fence for the horses and a gate. The animals would be housed in the home. Outside activity would vary based off of the animals specific needs! Dogs would be outside at least 5x a day!
About: Trust my 18 years of comprehensive pet care experience and Navy veteran background to provide highly adaptable attention, ranging from meticulous indoor care to energetic outdoor hikes. I manage a highly structured daily timeline that allows me to provide attentive, full-time care. I easily balance active outdoor trail exercise with calm, comfortable indoor downtime based entirely on your pet's unique energy levels and age. My open availability ensures I can accommodate specific pickup windows, medication schedules, and frequent backyard potty breaks with total reliability. I provide a reliable, highly secure environment built around your dog's safety and well-being. Whether exploring the outdoors or relaxing inside, I use a structured approach to prevent hazards and manage energy levels safely. My home is completely pet-proofed, smoke-free, and perfectly organized to give your pup a clean, stable routine. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing that your dog's unique safety guidelines, health requirements, and comfort boundaries are being meticulously respected.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. My neighborhood frequently go to me when they need a dog/cat sitter for a week and I'm used to going over as many times as needed. I'm patient and have had puppies growing up. This job is exciting for me because I genuinely love and care for all animals. I find that they brighten my day and I'm prepared to help my community take care of their pets. I'm about to graduate and have plenty of free time throughout my weekdays and weekends that I'm not out of town for soccer. I'll have lots of flexible times so I'm confident my schedule will work for many. I have a golden doodle named Stanley that loves to play and run around my yard he is a friendly giant that my neighborhood has all come to love. He loves walks and going for car rides.
“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, with experience in looking after cats, dogs (small and large breeds), and fish. I treat all pets like family, offering them full access to my home. As I work from home, your pet will never be alone for long, ensuring they receive constant love and attention. I’ve been trusted by many friends and family to look after their furry family members since I was a teenager. I am a fully remote worker and work from an office in my home. There is minimal time that pets would be left alone and would have constant access to me throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard with a privacy fence. A doggy door allow for access to the yard at all times for those willing to use it. I have 4 very friendly dogs who are always happy to keep your pets company and entertained.

About: Hi! My name is Amber. I am a teacher-turned-author looking to serve your every doggy need. Growing up, I thought I wanted to be a Vet. I spent every Saturday volunteering at the Ross Country Humane Society from ages 10-18 and was part of the Humane Society of the United States Advisory Board. I have spent thousands of hours with animals in shelters/rescues. After much prayer and consideration, God led me to writing instead of Veterinary work. I have experience in pet and house sitting, boarding, and walking. I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, but have a particular soft spot for goldendoodles. As an author, I love showing love to animals and find it to be an excellent and comforting mind-break. Since getting married, I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting in Chillicothe, Ohio. I do have one pet- Oso, a standard goldendoodle. I have worked with large and small pets and enjoy spending time with them. From pen to paws, I love serving your dogs through walking, feeding, bathroom breaks, running, and playing. I'm your sitter with a smile and an author who lives to serve! :) I am a full-time teacher-turned-author so I work from home. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine as I make my schedule. Walking dogs, conducting drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting give me the mental break I need. Other than Church, or running errands, I am pretty flexible with needs. I offer complimentary photos and videos, check-in texts and messages, lots of love, walks, exercise, treats, and fun! Every pet has a stay like they are one of my pets.
