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.

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.

Emma was absolutely wonderful with our sweet boy! We got daily pictures, updates, and our dog looked to be having a great time! She has a lovely home and yard for dogs to play in, and our dogs things came back in perfect condition. Anytime we reached out she responded almost right away and was over all a pleasure to talk to! If we ever need a sitter again, we will definitely be reaching back out to her! ?

About: Dogs are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a couch cuddle champion, or a senior dog who prefers a slower pace, I'll provide personalized care that matches their needs and routine. I offer in-home visits, walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection to help your dog feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I understand how important consistency is, so I'll take the time to learn your dog's schedule, preferences, and personality to keep their days as normal as possible. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. My goal is simple: a happy dog, a worry-free owner, and lots of tail wags along the way. Pet care fits well into my lifestyle, and I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. While my availability may vary from day to day, I do my best to work with pet owners to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication about scheduling. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and schedule. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or extra attention while you're away, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so that each animal receives the time, attention, and individualized care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that pets feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, and I work to create a calm, positive experience while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves active play, quiet companionship, or simply having a familiar routine maintained, I provide care tailored to them. I believe trust and communication are essential. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I also respect your home and will leave it just as I found it. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment you book until you return home.

Aubrey was so amazing to work with. We had a last minute request to board our dog Muffin and she was not only prompt in responding but also took really good care of him. She sent tons of pics and constantly updated us about his whereabouts and made sure muffin felt like home. Theo ( Aubrey's dog ) was super friendly too and muffin enjoyed his stay with them both. Will definitely book Aubrey again

She spoiled them every visit with treats and num-nums. She also did a great job feeding, watering, and cleaning their boxes. ❤️🐾❤️ Thank you Kayla! ❤️🐾❤️

The youngest (about 1-2) is quite skittish but very gentle with people. All of my cats are very loved, but I make sure to respect their boundaries too.

They have my entire heart and I'd love to be able to keep your mind at ease with my level of care while you're gone. I'll be able to keep you updated and possibly with pictures too(if kitty permits). And if you have a cat who's a little to scared of new people and wants to eat them, no worries they're my favorite. I can usually give meds as long as they aren't to upset, and clip nails!

Madison stopped in daily to feed, clean up after, and give attention to our two cats. One is 13 years old+ and we did not want them stressed with boarding while we were on vacation. Madison was excellent - quick to respond to us, sending pictures daily with details of how the kitties were. We completely trust Madison entering our home, are impressed highly with the professionalism displayed, recommend Madison highly and definitely will rebook again!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all personalities and needs. Alongside pet sitting, I also work on dog training, focusing on patience, trust, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely care about every animal I work with and always treat them like family. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood while helping them grow and thrive. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for pet sitting and training anytime after 7am and before 3pm. I will care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, maintaining routines, providing loving attention, regular exercise, enrichment, and patient guidance to ensure they feel safe and happy.

In addition to spending time with your cat and checking on water/food, I can clean the litter box if that's something you need.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.

About: My soul belongs to cats, and my heart belongs to dogs! I've been around both my whole life, and now my husband and I live with our two dogs and two cats. I've also been rescuing and fostering cats since 2021 which has given me quite the education on feline care. My pets are my whole world, and it's my mission to provide that same level of dedication to my clients' fur babies! I know first-hand how challenging it can be to trust someone with your beloved pets. You worry about their safety, their health, their tender emotions, and how much they'll miss you. Once we meet, I hope I can assure you that my gentle and fun-loving nature, attention to detail, and skilled observations will leave your fur baby in great hands. I document everything when caring for animals so I can provide detailed updates after each check-in. This includes diet, bathroom breaks, and behavior. And trust me, not a single symptom or sign of stress goes unnoticed! We'll stay in touch for whatever you and your fur babies need. Even if only for peace of mind, asking for specific photos/videos, or making an adjustment to their care routine. :) My experience includes: •Cat behavior, confidence-building, & enrichment •Positive reinforcement training (cats & dogs) •Basic puppy care and training •Dog walking •Kitten care: newborns to juveniles •Senior care (cats & dogs) •Medication administration: topical, oral, and injections •Mild-moderate behavior care: shy/"spicey" cats, reactive dogs •Mild-moderate special needs: mobility challenges, illnesses, injury recovery •Detailed symptom documentation for rescue and veterinary care Being trusted to care for your fur babies is the highest honor! Let's connect so I can meet them and see if I'm the right fit for you. :) I'm currently self-employed part-time and set my own schedule, outside of rescue commitments. This means my schedule is flexible within reason, and I'm often available for multiple check-ins per day, if needed. Your home is your pet's safe space, and it's my job to keep it that way! I'll always stick to their routine, no matter how detailed. I'm a stickler for "door dasher" pets and animals who have a history of bolting, so I'll always put things in place to prevent it. Dogs will always be observed during yard potty breaks or taken on walks. And finally, all animals will be observed very closely during each check-in so you can stay as up-to-date as possible!

After meeting my husband, she gained a brother, Chaos, a lazy, snuggly, wiggly brindle Cane Corso/English Bulldog mix. Last October we rescued Runner, a shy but loving and playful Husky. Last February we welcomed our most recent rescue, Germany, a spicy, diva Miniature Pincher. As a person with four fur babies of her own, I know that it is not always possible to take your fur babies with you. I am also familiar with the feelings of worry and guilt that are experienced when separated from them. For this reason, I make every effort to transform the pet's seperation into a staycation! I try to facilitate extra special experiences of love and quality time that in the past have included (when approved by the owner): Snuggles while watching a show Extra walk walks Car car rides to take walk walks in parks for a change of scenery Extra play time (especially ball ball and tug of war to wear them out!) Car car rides to the pet store to pick out a toy or treat Greeting them with a new toy or treat once a day Car car ride to a puppy play date Car car ride just for fun! And anything else the owner may suggest the furry friend may enjoy! :) I further take the time to send photos paired with a typed update each visit to the owners to ease the difficulty of being apart. I take care to follow any and all specifications communicated by the owner and always ask questions to clarify anything that I am uncertain of. I am excited to become friends with your fur baby! I work full time 8am-4:30pm M-F. I am able to spend quality time with furry friends before work, and after work with a check in over my hour lunch break if need be! I greet all animals with affectionate pets and usually with a treat (if allowed). Fresh, clean water will always be available. Food will be distributed and prepared per owner specifications. Treats will be given generously (with owner approval) in addition to pets and playtime. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement with animals. Each visit will have at least one walk. It is preferable that harnesses are available to use. If a collar is used, it should be "normal" (no shock collar or choker collar please). I am more than happy to being a harness along! Please let me know in advance. Each visit I will take photos to send with typed updates on how the furry friend is doing. I will discuss with the owner what is allowed and reccomened with the fur baby to make the experience more like a staycation :)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks where they can stretch their legs and get lots of good sniffs! I am retired full time, and I am really looking forward to walking dogs part time. I travel occasionally, so I appreciate requests in advance notice. Dog safety and a comfort is a top priority for me. I’ve lived with big dogs my whole life and I’m use to controlling them on a leash.

About: I have been a dog lover for much of my life! Growing up we had cats and smaller breed dogs. I begged my parents to allow me to watch our neighbors' dogs when they left town, and I was the go-to caretaker of our family's pets. As an adult, I have cared for 3 dogs of my own and currently we have 2 larger breed dogs. We adopted all of our dogs as puppies so I understand the adorable puppy moments, as well as the moments where puppies can be extra work. I've owned dogs into their senior years and how there can be limitation considerations and potentially and care required for health needs that come with age. I'm currently working part-time and manage a small business with my husband. Both are relatively flexible, especially if planned more than 1 week prior. Generally afternoons (after 1pm) are flexible. With advance planning, I can be available earlier in the day too. I can visit your home to care for your pets. If you have dogs and want me to provide exercise (walk or backyard play session), I can do so based on your preference. If you would like, I can also check on things inside such as water/food, or any other requested services (that I am able to provide).

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 currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. 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: 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.

I am available for "drive-bys", that is emergency, or on call drop offs. I provide paw prints, (photos) and always have "Rufferences" for clients that require personal assurances. My 5 star timeshare for Staycations (boarding)is opportunity to save cost and book in advance. I work and I'm a homeschool educator however I have no issues with adjusting my schedule to care for pets and am available to communicate with every day In home dogs sleep in our room unless crated, and eat table scraps when we aren't fast enough, we let the, free roam the house once potty routine is established and that time frame depends on dog. We don't allow dogs on furniture but cover the furniture for animals trained that way to reduce stress on trying to keep them down. In your home, routine is maintained and extra treats given, time outside is always encouraged for high energy and down time is enforced when bad behavior is being modified

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.

She has a lovely home and yard for dogs to play in, and our dogs things came back in perfect condition. Anytime we reached out she responded almost right away and was over all a pleasure to talk to! If we ever need a sitter again, we will definitely be reaching back out to her! ?

About: Dogs are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a couch cuddle champion, or a senior dog who prefers a slower pace, I'll provide personalized care that matches their needs and routine. I offer in-home visits, walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection to help your dog feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I understand how important consistency is, so I'll take the time to learn your dog's schedule, preferences, and personality to keep their days as normal as possible. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. My goal is simple: a happy dog, a worry-free owner, and lots of tail wags along the way. Pet care fits well into my lifestyle, and I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. While my availability may vary from day to day, I do my best to work with pet owners to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication about scheduling. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and schedule. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or extra attention while you're away, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so that each animal receives the time, attention, and individualized care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that pets feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, and I work to create a calm, positive experience while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves active play, quiet companionship, or simply having a familiar routine maintained, I provide care tailored to them. I believe trust and communication are essential. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I also respect your home and will leave it just as I found it. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment you book until you return home.

Aubrey was so amazing to work with. We had a last minute request to board our dog Muffin and she was not only prompt in responding but also took really good care of him. She sent tons of pics and constantly updated us about his whereabouts and made sure muffin felt like home. Theo ( Aubrey's dog ) was super friendly too and muffin enjoyed his stay with them both. Will definitely book Aubrey again
