Personalized care for your dog or cat - Columbus Grove

“Tonya was absolutely wonderful. Our Sam is a 13 year old "senior", who is also deaf. He has never stayed with anyone overnight that was not family. Tonya took such great care of him. The fact that Tonya is home all day with him was a huge plus for us. Being older, he needs to go out more often. We will absolutely book with her again when we go away.”

Adrianne M.

“My dog came home very happy and wonderfully tired after her stay. Breanne took such good care of her and did a great job with her special diet.”

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.

“Schyler was amazing with our timid Maggie. She was flexible in dropping off and picking up times. She was patient with Maggie, who because of 3 months of neglect, is afraid of most of life. I was able to see how Maggie was doing by Schyler’s updates, and when I picked Maggie up, you could see how relaxed she was to be with Schyler.”

“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Moose! I would absolutely recommend her again and again to care for your pups. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and treated Moose like he was one of her own. Sounds like they may even be getting a Great Dane themselves! Thank you again, Jessica and family!”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was young. We have had many house cats inside and out and strays we have taken in or found a forever home for. We would have at least 4 at all times and I now have 4 babies as well.

About: My first job was working in kennels and caring for boarding cats, which gave me hands-on experience with cats of different personalities and temperaments. I’ve also cared for cats in their own homes multiple times and understand how important it is to keep them comfortable in their normal routine. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, administering medications if needed, and making sure each cat feels safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I have taken care of cats for quite a while now. I have a cat of my own that I absolutely adore. I know cats can be difficult at times, but I am very patient. I have worked at multiple vet clinics. I know how to properly administer medications to cats as well. I know how to keep a litter box very clean and not sticky at all.

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: 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.

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 :)

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.

“Gracie was amazing! :)”

I walk every day so I am willing and able to walk any distance. I am willing to walk at any pace. I have had large dogs (shepherds/pits) and small dogs (poodles/Shiba Inu). I follow all dog walking rules and would never put your dog in any harm. I truly enjoy walking and interacting with dogs. I can also take care of your dogs and cats and feed them when you are away for an extended day or vacation. I welcome all breeds. I just need to meet them prior to walk them or care for them. Pls contact me with any questions. You won’t regret choosing me I am currently retired so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I have availability to stay overnight in your home if desired I am very cognizant of pet safety. I used to have an escape artist for a dog so I learned to ensure dogs can’t escape. I will take visits of your pets on every visit so you can see how they are doing

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: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member. Having grown up with dogs and owned them throughout my life, I’m comfortable with daily walks, exercise, playtime, reinforcing basic commands, and making sure each dog feels safe and happy. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a leisurely stroll, or an energetic walk to burn off some energy, I’ll tailor each visit to their individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of patience, affection, and attention while prioritizing their safety and well-being. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! My work schedule is flexible so I’m happy to adjust to your pets needs! I’m available Monday-Friday any time and weekends with notice! My dog is kept in a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam and play, plus has a dog door for easy inside access. All of the dogs I’ve owned have been crate trained as well, so we can adjust to what your fur baby may need.

About: My career goal is to work with animals, currently employed at a Humane Society. My friends and family have always trust me with their pets. They are my true happiness! :) I have a set work schedule, so there will not be rushed walks or playtime! If there is an issue with scheduling, I am always willing to request off from work. I will be able to give your pets much attention. I can read behaviors, I do not rush or make pets feel uncomfortable in their own environment. I want them to feel safe and give them the attention and love they deserve!

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: 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.

“Oren was great with Akira! She’s reactive/protect and she did really well walking with him and his daughter. I’m so happy!”

About: I have cared for multiple kinds of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc. I have worked at two veterinary clinics as well as a pet store. I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I am currently working full time at Aldi. My hours differ week to week; earliest I work is at 6am and the latest I get off is 9pm. But, I don’t work super long hours so it is still very easy to fit pet care in my schedule! I will be moving back to school in West Lafayette, IN in August 2026. My services will take place at my client's home. Depending on if there are any specific directions, I will care for your pets properly and do what you request.

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’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

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.
