“Murphy got great care with Jennifer and her family. He adjusted quickly. We really appreciated picking Murphy up and him having no anxiety. That is not usually the case. Also so nice to be so close in our country location. Thanks Jennifer, I’m sure Murphy will visit again.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. In college, I worked at a boarding and training service for dogs. I currently have three of my own, and love being a dog mom. I treat my dogs like they are my children, and I enjoy being around animals all the time! I am a teacher, so during the summer months I have a lot of availability. I am looking to help out those who are busy or work during the summer. I can drop in to let out your pet and play with them for 10-15 minutes. For walking services, I will spend 30 minutes walking, and then play for 10-15 minutes. I have a spacious home and yard, but it is not fenced in. I always go outside with the pets and supervise them. We live in a safe neighborhood. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized; they enjoy being around other animals.
“Very pleased with Haleigh. When I wasn’t able to take my dogs to her for the initial meet and greet, she instead came to my house and brought her rescue pup to make sure our dogs were compatible. She monitored all dogs’ social behavior for over an hour just for good measure. She was very quick to correct any concerning behavior. I appreciated that she was able to take my pups on short notice when the previous sitter canceled on me last minute. During the visit itself, she sent me pictures and commentaries to update me on their wellbeing, or to inform me of any concerns. I trusted that she knew how to keep her dogs and my dogs safe. They were kept indoors nearly all times. I’d recommend her services.”
“Oren and his family and pups treated Kakashi so well! He was spoiled with fun having a playmate all week. I was sent a ton of photos and updates so I never had to worry! I will definitely be using your services again, and maybe even add some additional play date services moving forward knowing how comfortable he was with you! Thank you again so much!”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time. We were a bit nervous leaving him for the first time but Jennifer was very good keeping him on his schedule and her dog Bea tolerated all our puppy playfulness.”
“Madison is awesome. She made my baby (Sookie) feel comfortable. It has been 4 years since we took a vacation because of a bad experience with the sitter but Madison made us feel relieved and we were able to enjoy our vacation because we felt like Sookie was in good hands and safe. I highly recommend her and I trust her with our baby girl. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Abby and her family were really loving with my Razzle. Great communication and pictures. Razzle had fun playing with her two fur babies and running around in their big backyard. Thank you so much we will definitely use you again.”
“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”
“Novalee/Brooke G. is a fantastic pet sitter! Our dog stayed with her for a week while I was out of town and he had the BEST TIME at her house! He spent his days romping with her adorable pups, playing inside and outside and sniffing all the smells on their neighborhood walks. Novalee also took him on excursions to various pet-friendly stores and family get togethers - which meant he rarely spent anytime alone. Her level of care is unmatched and we know that anytime our dog is with her, he is loved just like her own. I cannot recommend Novalee more highly!”
“We had a great experience— super communicative and flexible, with lots of photos and check-in’s so that I knew that everything was going ok. I appreciate the effort that went into helping my Eddie feel comfortable and confident in the new space!”
“Angellynn was absolutely great! She took wonderful care of my 8-year-old dog and treated her just like she was at home. Ginger loved all the attention she got from them. They played with her and loved her. I will definitely be taking Ginger to stay with Angellynn again. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’m very good with different personalities of the dog and can work to what they feel comfortable with. Love giving them attention and making them happy! I am free from 3-7pm after I get off work. Taking care of animals fits perfectly into my afternoon schedule and is a great distressor as well. Depending on the animal we can play more outside or inside make sure they are feeling loved and happy. My dog personally loves being outside so we spend most our time on walks.

Cat caregivers near you - Bascom
About: Hi there! I’m Evelina, and I adore all things feline. With a cat of my own and years of pet care experience, I know how to keep your kitty happy, safe, and purring while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy companionship, I treat every cat like family. Your fur baby’s comfort is my top priority!
About: I’m experienced with all dog sizes & ages. As a former therapy dog handler, I have formal training in managing animals in a variety of settings & circumstances. I am retired and available M-Th, occasional weekends. I’m an early riser, but prefer to be home by 5:30. We can discuss schedules if further flexibility is needed. I will love and care for your furry family members in your home, take them for walks, and insure their “byproducts” are cleaned up. I’m an all animals enthusiast; dogs are my special love.
About: Hi! My name is Kinsey and I have been dogsitting/petsitting since I was 14! I have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, and horses! All of this includes feeding, walking, bathing and any other care you may need! I am comfortable with just about every animal on the planet and I am comfortable learning anything your pet needs like medicine, doggy diapers, or making sure they have their special toy before bed! I will be your pets new bestie! I am currently working part time as an Infant daycare worker! I am a substitute and only go in when needed or I am available! Those hours are typically 1-6pm. I can be there for your furry besties before and after that time! I prefer to go to clients house, just because I have a puppy at home who is in training! As for clients homes, I will stay where directed, provide my own food, and leave the house cleaner than before! I will be there most of the day (depending on work schedule) and all night! P.S- I love to sleep with dogs, cats or really any animal that cuddles!
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for cats of all personalities, from shy rescues to playful kittens and seniors needing extra patience and I’ve learned how important it is to understand each cat’s unique routine and comfort level so they feel safe while you’re away. What sets me apart is my attention and genuine care; I don’t just stop in to feed and leave, I spend time making sure your cat feels comfortable, whether that’s through play, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine, treating every cat like my own so you can have peace of mind.
About: Growing up, my family has never not had a dog. I come from a family of dog lovers! I have experience with Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I’ve always had a passion for animals and volunteer my time as a board member of Montana Pittie Project. My dog is my child and I will treat yours like it’s my baby as well! I also have experience taking care of special needs dogs, my dog that passed the rainbow bridge in August of 2022 was special needs himself. I have fostered multiple dogs while working in rescue and have experience with many different dog personalities and needs. I love sending photo updates to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Feel free to ask me any questions! I work full time as a self employed hairstylist. With a flexible schedule I am able to take a break every day and hang out with my dog during the week. In the evenings I take Stella to a park nearby my house or we go on a walk around the neighborhood. I do have a fenced in yard. My current pup is kennel trained and it’s her safe space, if I work for a longer period than usual I have my own pet nanny or family checks in on my dog if I will be gone for too long. She is never along for more than 4-5 hours at a time. She eats in the morning and in the evening, I do not free feed. Stella has way more toys than any dog could need, and likes watching tv so I leave a nature show on for her when I leave the house. She’s a good girl.
About: I have been dog sitting for quite sometime now. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, big or small. I feed, walk, and give all of the cuddles and love they need! I am looking for something fun to do on the side of my job. I love all animals and would love to work with yours! Typically, I will stick to your pet’s schedule to make it easier on them and you! I will make sure your pet is safe and sound, fed, and walked.
“I highly recommend Chaise as a pet sitter. She did drop in care for us this weekend, and somehow made friends with my daughter’s very cranky chihuahua. She came to our house twice before we went out of town so that he’d feel more comfortable while we were gone. She sent us lots of pictures of the pupperitos, which made us smile. We will definitely use Chaise when we go out of town again.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals my entire life. I’ve been responsible for grooming, feeding, training, and exercising them. I’ve had animals with special needs as well. I have a passion for helping and caring for animals. I also have a passion to help others. I found this was perfect to work with animals and help others by caring for their pets. I currently work 3 days a week, usually Monday-Friday at Toledo hospital. So I have at least 4 days that I’m free to take care of your pet. I have one pup myself so I’m already used to it! I take my dog on multiple walks and just use a lead outdoors to keep her close. If I needed to stop by to help an animal at your residence, I’d just need instruction!
About: Hi! My name is Allison. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life and have a huge place in my heart for animals. I currently have a full time job that gives me a lot of free time to take care of your pets! I’m available Monday-Thursday, any time of the day to help you take care of your fur-babies! If watching your pet at my home, feel safe knowing I have a fenced in yard and extra kennels if needed. Also know that I am very patient and safe with all animals and I will take the best care of them.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bascom
“Jenn watched my puppy for the first time today and did a fantastic job! He has a somewhat complicated medical condition - she read about it before we met and handled it wonderfully. He was so happy (and tired) afterwards, and he loved playing with the other dogs in the house. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I am a local to tiffin and would love to walk your dog. I grew up with dogs at home and ever since I have lived on my own, I have wanted a dog! Unfortunately, my job does not align with having a dog right now. I have been missing that connection with dogs, so I have decided to start walking dogs. I have walked my own dogs my whole life growing up and am ready to start walking your dog! Please contact me for your next appointment! With my current schedule, I am off all day on Thursday and Friday. I have opened my schedule for those days. This extra time allows me to be able to take care of your dogs and take them for a walk! With my own dogs, I always made sure to have treats, bags and water. With this I can be prepared for any situation that may cross my way.
About: I’ve loved animals since I could understand what they were. Growing up we always had dogs in the house. Now that I am grown, I have both a dog and cats! My love for animals has also been passed down to my daughter. We enjoy walking, bathing, or even just hanging out with pets! You can trust that your pets will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own while they are in my care! With it being summer and school being out, I have lots of free time for pet care! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. My care adapts to your needs! I can come to your home, pick them up for walks, play dates, baths, or anything like that! I work from home most days so my schedule is very flexible. The only times I am unavailable are Wednesdays from 8am-4pm. Other than that I can usually adjust my schedule to your needs. I am not currently bringing pets to my home. However, I will do a meet and greet with you and your pet at your home so that I can see where I will be caring for them and ask you any needed questions.
About: I have had animals all my life. I look everything up on reliable sites. I have 2 Outside rabbits. an rescued Green Iguana, rescued Bearded Dragon. Two cats as well. Depends on what you're looking for. Just give me a heads up. I have to work around my mom schedule as well. So please just text and ask. I will care for them like they are the only thing that matters. You're animal will be safe with me. I'm very careful with their tolerance and love their cuddles. You're animal will be loved and cared for like my own.
“Jennifer is very warm and extremely competent with animals. My dog adores her and he behaves much better after a day with her. (He's a puppy and we are trying very hard to learn to be good...but aren't always) I completely trust her with my dog and feel fortunate to have found her.”
“Novalee (aka: Brooke G.) is an amazing dog sitter and we cannot recommend her more! On the days our dog was scheduled to be with her, we needed early drop offs and flexible pickup times - both of which she easily accommodated. Our senior dog had the absolute BEST time hanging out with Novalee and her husband and their puppy crew (he slept like a baby after coming home because he had so much fun playing!) We absolutely 100% recommend Novalee and will definitely utilize her in the future when we need to go out of town!”
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: We took a few years break and we are back!!! I’ve had pets my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats and exotic pets. I have worked in animal shelters for over 3 years and have fostered for several years. I have lots of experience with medically complex animals and those who are reactive or have aggressions and i am able to work around those and keep those pets safe for you while you are away, i know boarding facilities can be really hard and stressful on those who are fearful or can’t be around other dogs/cats, I’d love to make those pets feel as at home as possible and with the least amount of stress. I do have two young children under the age of 5, so all dogs must be good with kids! All animals who come into my home will be treated as my own animals would. I’m almost always home unless we are doing a quick grocery run. All pets will be supervised outside, and are allowed on furniture/into any part of the house unless otherwise discussed. I’m currently home 24/7 and have plenty of time to exercise, care for and love your pets! All animals will be treated like my own. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of time to do all your fur babies favorite activities! I promise to help them have the best time they can while you are away.
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: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.
About: We will spoil your pups as if they are our own! I work from home and my husband and daughter are also home in the evenings. You can rest assured your pet will have plenty of attention from our family and from our dogs. We have used Rover services many times ourselves and we know that leaving your dog in the care of others can make you feel nervous. We will be certain to send pics and/or videos to keep you update on the well being of your loved one(s). Our dogs will love and love on your dog. As I work from home I have a lot of availability and flexibility to fit your schedule! We have a fenced in yard with dog door access. Your dogs will have as much access to the inside, or outside as you or they would prefer. Our two friendly pups will love to play either way.
About: I have grown up and taken care of animals since the age of four! I have had dogs of all sizes, inside and outside cats, fresh and saltwater fish, rabbits, chickens, and pigs!! I have experience in all basic animal care needs including training, bathing, brushing, and trimming nails! I am currently not working so besides doing everyday chores around the house or grocery shopping I am with my dog and children all day. In my home, besides having two toddlers that are very good with pets, I have two dogs that get along well with other dogs. My yard is not fenced in but I do have an outdoor kennel that is also open to board dogs if needed.
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: What sets me apart is heart-led care—personalized attention, reliable routines, and genuine love that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. Rest assured your pet gets everything they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and individualized attention, ensuring each pet receives consistent care, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I offer a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of safe roaming, a calm pet-only home with no other free roaming animals or children, and a clean, non-smoking environment.
About: I’ve always been the go to person when someone needs their dog picked up, let out or watched. I’ve had animals my entire life from horses to dogs. I am a registered nurse who works 3 days a week. I am currently looking for a side gig that is baby friendly so my son can tag along on walks. Your dogs will not be left out of my sight! I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.
“We cannot say enough good things about Suzanne! Our dog Barkley had a wonderful afternoon at her house: he spent the day basking in her sunny yard and napping inside (basically Barkley’s idea of a perfect day!) Suzanne was wonderful to communicate with: prompt, friendly and quick to answer any questions I had. Additionally, she was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times which we really appreciated, and she communicated during Barkley’s visit. We will absolutely book Suzanne again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

About: I have had my dog for over 8 years, and many other animals come and go in my life that I’ve given all the love and attention to! I love to take walks around my neighborhood and be outside as much as possible. I have a fenced in back yard . Special skills include playing fetch, providing treats, and a lot of cuddles and scratches. I am home most weekends because I work full-time and am a student, and dog-sitting would give me the opportunity to get some exercise and have a change of pace.I work from home 100% of the time so I can be flexible during the week with your pup. I work from home 100% of the time so being home with your pup and attention is a given! Having my own dog, I understand the importance of not just being let outside, but also providing stimulating activity. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around and play. Also have a large crate in case of needing it.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Bascom
About: I’m Evelina!! I’m an animal-loving caregiver with a home full of joy. My current pets are one rabbit, two dogs, and two cats! With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I understand exactly what kind of care every pet deserves. From sweet cuddle-bugs, to more unique pets, I provide safe, loving, and reliable care as if they were part of my own family. I am a college student so my Calendar may not reflect my schedule. But please do not let this deter you from reaching out. I love working with new clients and new pets! Look forward to meeting you!! 🐾🐾 Hi, I’m Evelina, I’m a college student at Heidelberg University. I have a flexible schedule letting me doing my favorite things like spending time with animals! I’m happy to provide any specific care your pet may need! Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, playing with your furry friend, or simply being there to give them lots of love and attention. I’ve got it covered. I’m especially experienced with bunnies and smaller animals, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment for your happy little pets. No matter the animal, I treat them like family!
About: We aim to be flexible and available. And we love pups of all shapes and sizes and all energy levels. We have a kid in college now and needed something to keep us sane. Spending some time with your little ones is just the thing. I run 3-4 days a week and walk a lot the other days. We have a very friendly and high energy Weimaraner, who loves to play with other dogs and kids. My husband (Shawn) is the best frisbee thrower in the world. I work from home, so frequent attention is not a problem. Excessive barking would need to be managed, but not a deal breaker. I love all animals and have a mild allergy to cats so I don't bring them to my home but I can be around them as long as I take my Claritin. My schedule is flexible and I make your pet the priority. Working from home allows me to balance time both indoors and outside and allow for play and naps. I do like to prioritize exercise in the morning and at lunch so that I get good naps while I work. My office has a futon and dog bed that allow for me to be with them all day. If the calendar looks like I am not available for your dates, message me anyway. I always try to be flexible and make things work! My dog is perimeter trained in our yard, but we also have 50 ft cables for those not able to be outside without wandering or aren't the best with recall. We have easy furniture and our house has been lived in by many dogs and children. We are about 5 minutes away from our local dog park.
About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own a Mini Aussie Doodle, so I understand pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and bring my dog everywhere, giving me hands-on experience with socialization, care, and training. I also have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of different breeds, and I treat every pup like part of my family. As a college student with a flexible schedule and minimal class time, I have plenty of availability to provide walks, drop-in visits, or playtime. I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits and am happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I live in a small apartment with plenty of yard space (though it’s unfenced), and I can crate dogs if needed. I’m also happy to visit your home so your dog can stay in the environment where they feel most comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities
About: I had a dog growing up and now I have a cat of my own. I’m just getting started with taking care of other people’s pets! I’m off work for the summer, so I have lots of free time. I am available most times throughout the day and week. I’m looking to fill some of my free time! I would prefer to go to your home since my cat isn’t used to being around other animals. I love being outside, so walks would be perfect for me!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old. I am not afraid of any dog no matter its size or temperament. I love every dog and I even work at a doggy daycare. I will go with their pace and with what the dog is most comfortable with I’m currently working at a doggy daycare. I am full time there and depending on the days I get off at 1pm or 7pm so I could do early mornings or late afternoons. I would prefer staying at your home because my cats aren’t very friendly with other animals. I would love walking them around town or playing with them in your yard though!
About: I love animals, mostly dogs. I have had dogs for my whole life. I know what it takes to care for all dogs all sizes I currently have three dogs all different sizes and different breeds! I’m currently babysitting part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My schedule is extremely flexible, just looking for a summer gig! Unfortunately I will not be offering care for pets at my home, I have three crazy dogs who will cause lots of chaos! I’m sorry!
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals my entire life. I’ve been responsible for grooming, feeding, training, and exercising them. I’ve had animals with special needs as well. I have a passion for helping and caring for animals. I also have a passion to help others. I found this was perfect to work with animals and help others by caring for their pets. I currently work 3 days a week, usually Monday-Friday at Toledo hospital. So I have at least 4 days that I’m free to take care of your pet. I have one pup myself so I’m already used to it! I take my dog on multiple walks and just use a lead outdoors to keep her close. If I needed to stop by to help an animal at your residence, I’d just need instruction!
About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.
About: I have had dogs all my life and I have pet sit for many of family members for years. I also worked in a kennel for two summers. I also go to school for pre-vet so I work with animals all the time. I am a college student at the university so mornings are hard with school but afternoons are open. I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after 2pm. I don’t have a pet at the moment so yours would not have to worry. I can easily crate if needed be and we have a huge yard for them to run around.
About: I’ve taken care of any and every animal for over 12 years. I have experience with dog and cats of all ages, and exotics! Snakes, lizards, rodents… I can care for them all! I am available any time every other week! I will have plenty of time to care for your pets as if you had never left! I have 3 friendly dogs, and 5 cats! Your fur baby will be occupied! I have an electric fence, but would feel the most comfortable walking your dog or tying them out to potty!
About: I’ve loved animals since I could understand what they were. Growing up we always had dogs in the house. Now that I am grown, I have both a dog and cats! My love for animals has also been passed down to my daughter. We enjoy walking, bathing, or even just hanging out with pets! You can trust that your pets will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own while they are in my care! With it being summer and school being out, I have lots of free time for pet care! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. My care adapts to your needs! I can come to your home, pick them up for walks, play dates, baths, or anything like that! I work from home most days so my schedule is very flexible. The only times I am unavailable are Wednesdays from 8am-4pm. Other than that I can usually adjust my schedule to your needs. I am not currently bringing pets to my home. However, I will do a meet and greet with you and your pet at your home so that I can see where I will be caring for them and ask you any needed questions.
About: I have been dog sitting for quite sometime now. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, big or small. I feed, walk, and give all of the cuddles and love they need! I am looking for something fun to do on the side of my job. I love all animals and would love to work with yours! Typically, I will stick to your pet’s schedule to make it easier on them and you! I will make sure your pet is safe and sound, fed, and walked.
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.
“We were gone all day & Mykala helped us with Hank & Milo. She visited & took Hank for a walk! She sent pics & videos too :) We are so happy with Mykala & will definitely ask for her services in the future. Thank you Mykala!! Boys say thanks too ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life and I’ve had even a few of my own. I’ve made sure they’re fed, bathed and most importantly, loved. I’m currently going to school full time but will have time to make sure your pet is taken care of, fed, and have fun while they’re away from you. I don’t have a backyard, I’m currently renting an apartment. But I’ll make sure to walk your dog around the block and make sure they have time to go to the bathroom.

“Murphy got great care with Jennifer and her family. He adjusted quickly. We really appreciated picking Murphy up and him having no anxiety. That is not usually the case. Also so nice to be so close in our country location. Thanks Jennifer, I’m sure Murphy will visit again.”
“Very pleased with Haleigh. When I wasn’t able to take my dogs to her for the initial meet and greet, she instead came to my house and brought her rescue pup to make sure our dogs were compatible. She monitored all dogs’ social behavior for over an hour just for good measure. She was very quick to correct any concerning behavior. I appreciated that she was able to take my pups on short notice when the previous sitter canceled on me last minute. During the visit itself, she sent me pictures and commentaries to update me on their wellbeing, or to inform me of any concerns. I trusted that she knew how to keep her dogs and my dogs safe. They were kept indoors nearly all times. I’d recommend her services.”
“Oren and his family and pups treated Kakashi so well! He was spoiled with fun having a playmate all week. I was sent a ton of photos and updates so I never had to worry! I will definitely be using your services again, and maybe even add some additional play date services moving forward knowing how comfortable he was with you! Thank you again so much!”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time. We were a bit nervous leaving him for the first time but Jennifer was very good keeping him on his schedule and her dog Bea tolerated all our puppy playfulness.”
“Madison is awesome. She made my baby (Sookie) feel comfortable. It has been 4 years since we took a vacation because of a bad experience with the sitter but Madison made us feel relieved and we were able to enjoy our vacation because we felt like Sookie was in good hands and safe. I highly recommend her and I trust her with our baby girl. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Abby and her family were really loving with my Razzle. Great communication and pictures. Razzle had fun playing with her two fur babies and running around in their big backyard. Thank you so much we will definitely use you again.”
“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”
“Novalee/Brooke G. is a fantastic pet sitter! Our dog stayed with her for a week while I was out of town and he had the BEST TIME at her house! He spent his days romping with her adorable pups, playing inside and outside and sniffing all the smells on their neighborhood walks. Novalee also took him on excursions to various pet-friendly stores and family get togethers - which meant he rarely spent anytime alone. Her level of care is unmatched and we know that anytime our dog is with her, he is loved just like her own. I cannot recommend Novalee more highly!”
“Angellynn was absolutely great! She took wonderful care of my 8-year-old dog and treated her just like she was at home. Ginger loved all the attention she got from them. They played with her and loved her. I will definitely be taking Ginger to stay with Angellynn again. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’m very good with different personalities of the dog and can work to what they feel comfortable with. Love giving them attention and making them happy! I am free from 3-7pm after I get off work. Taking care of animals fits perfectly into my afternoon schedule and is a great distressor as well. Depending on the animal we can play more outside or inside make sure they are feeling loved and happy. My dog personally loves being outside so we spend most our time on walks.
About: I'm a young professional and homeowner with a six-year-old Cocker Spaniel and two cats (I just had to get my anxious boy his own cat). I've had animals my whole life and often find myself gravitating to animals over people. My animals are my family and in my care, yours will be too! I work a full-time job, but my home activities center around the animals. They're cared for morning and evening, and my weekend activities are centered around making sure the animals have adequate care and socialization. They're provided fresh water twice a day, food twice a day, and the dog always gets time outside of the house once I'm home, even in the cold.
About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.
