“Wendy took fantastic care of my dog Beau. I loved receiving photo/video updates. It’s such a comfort knowing I have someone so caring and dependable to watch my baby. I will definitely book again!”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“This was our 2nd time booking with Carly. She took Norman in last minute and even dropped him off for us because our flight got changed and we didn’t get in until late at night. Norman always enjoys his time there and we love getting updates/photos from Carly when she has Norman!”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Melissa is amazing! She sent cute pics and videos of my pup Zoey every day while I was out of town. This was Zoey's 3rd stay with Melissa and I hope she can stay with Melissa the next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!!”
“Thank you very much for everything towards my dog. You are a very good caregiver. My dog was very happy. She keeps you in communication and sends you photos every day.🤗”
“Amanda is AMAZING!! She takes all proper precautions to ensure safety of her clients and their fur babies. I met her prior to her keeping Nike but did not need her service at the time. I had an emergency come up and without hesitation she was willing to care for Nike. She sent picture updates and stayed in consistent communication. I thank her so much for alleviating my stress level while I was out of town. Highly recommend”
“Maya was amazing with Gojo! Sent updates everyday with photos, took him for walks, gave him all the attention he could ask for (if you know Gojo, that’s a lot of attention), and truly welcomed him into their home. Gojo was happy to see me on pickup but sad to go as well. Will definitely recommend Maya and will be bringing Gojo back in the future to play with Thor!”

“This was Murphy's second stay with Lindsey and my second review. Murphy had the time of his life. I had a great trip because I knew Murphy was safe, well cared for and most of all HAPPY! Lindsey's home is so warm and friendly. I liked it there as much as he did. I will definitely book with Lindsey every time from now on. I wish I could give 10 out of 5 stars!”

“If you have cats like we do, Marie is the best! She was engaged with our cat, provided updates and pics, and even checked back in after we returned home. The kitties didn't get lost, or run out, and Marie was very respectful of our home and instructions. Great job!”
“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”
“Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!”
“Tabatha was a blessing! I felt at ease while on vacation with Tabatha caring for our pets. From what I can tell she kept them on their toes and probably did a better job then I would do! I never expected so many pictures of them either playing, eating, or just being goofy. Would definitely recommend and hope she's available next time!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”

“Tori was a great choice to care for our cats and fish while we were on vacation! She followed all instructions left for her and provided many pictures every day. We got home and everything was as we left it. She even cleaned up littler off the floor and washed the cat food spoon. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kristie provided amazing service while caring for our 17 year-old cat while we were on vacation. She gave him lots of attention and was always on-time with giving him his medication that he needs twice a day. She gave us peace of mind knowing that he was being very well cared for. We will definitely use Kristie for pet sitting again!”

“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”

“Isis was great with our old and big girl! Our dog has a hard time with our couple of steps and Isis came over to help take her out and in while we were away. She was kind and patient and did what we needed. We are very happy we booked her and will definitely use her again in the future!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I am a single mom with 20 year old daughter who is away at college. I have a golden retriever who loves to have dog friends visit. Your pet will get the same TLC as my own dog. They will be a part of our family while they are with us. I have a fenced in yard, making it easy for your pet to be safe and get some exercise too. I have been watching dogs in my home for about 25 years. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I am gone on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from about 10-4, so I am almost always home aside from the occasional errands. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I can always run home in the middle of the day if a potty break is needed. Accidents are ok too. Mine has had a few over the years. Your dog will never be in trouble if this happens. You won’t have to worry about your dogs when they are with me. They will be treated like family. I work from home, so your pets will rarely be left alone. When they are, it is just for brief periods for when I running errands. I have a fenced in yard and w very friendly fur baby of my own. I can let them out frequently and always supervise outside even though my yard is fenced. I am able to feed them if they are here during meal time. I will just need to know if your dog is food possessive so I can make sure they eat separately from my dog. Unfortunately I can’t leave your dogs food down throughout the day because my dog will eat it.
“Michael was absolutely amazing. We got video updates, as well as pictures while my husband and I were out at Kennywood. It took a lot for us to leave our baby for the first time, but Michael immediately made us feel comfortable. He also has quite the impressive set up that accommodates all dogs needs. Amare’ didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! We will absolutely be returning customers. If you’re thinking about booking him for your dog, read no further and DO IT! Thank you so much again, Michael!”
“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 dropped my puppy off for a daycare for the first time! Tara was very nice and she sent me photos and progress reports regularly throughout that day! Will definitely be using her again ?”
“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.”
“Briana was very responsive prior to booking and while my pup was in her care. My pup visited with her for “day care” over a four day span. She got to the point where she would whine to go to her house in the morning to play with Duke (Briana’s friendly and gentle lab) and get lots of love. I received videos and photos during her stay each day. Briana will be my go to when I am visiting New Castle.”
“My dog Arthur has very specific needs and doesn’t feel comfortable with just anybody. Arthur seemed to settle right in, and take over. He even ate his dinner which he doesn’t do when he’s nervous or anxious. I’m hoping that Chris will be available again sometime when I would like to get out of the house. Extremely pleased!”

I have been caring for pets for several years, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your furry friends while you're away.

I am reliable, responsible, and always go the extra mile to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy while in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your fur baby!

I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your pet and ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away.
About: I have been caring for pets my whole life. I have always had my own pets as well so I understand all of the responsibilities that go into caring for an animal. I love dogs and have experience working with them both small and large, ranging in ages from puppy to elderly. I love helping them get their daily exercise and helping them learn new tricks using positive reinforcement. I love going outside with them and allowing them to either run or even play a good game of fetch. I am also currently a cat mom myself so I also am capable of caring for cats as well. I realize that cats are both very independent but at the same time require affection as well. Your pet will be taken care of and loved as if it were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of pets–other people’s and my own–since I was young. I’m a huge animal lover and care for all animals as if they were my own. I work entirely from home and almost entirely on my own schedule. Whether we're hanging out at my house or walking around your neighborhood, I have lots of time for your pet! My home has two spare bedrooms for your pet to have their own space to relax. Pets are allowed on all of my furniture, so we’re always ready for movie night! I have three cats at home, so I would prefer cat-friendly pets for in-home sitting. In my home, your home, or on walks, I will follow your directions to the letter. Your pet's comfort and safety are of the utmost importance to me.
“Mary was great! My puppy was a little apprehensive at first but by the end of the day settled right in. She had great communication and sent a few photos during the day and kept me updated to ease my anxiety.”
“Anthony and Leslie took such good care of our Harley! We received so many pictures throughout the day, so I was confident he was taken well care of. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
“Maya did a great job with Merlin. Not only did she take good care of him but gave him some much needed play time. She even found some new food for him that he loves. Maya went above and beyond.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 18. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. My family is everything to me, and we love that we can have your pets apart of our family! I’m a stay at home mama to my amazing kids and two dogs! We have a fenced in yard that they love to play around in and we enjoy walks everyday it’s nice out! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company! I’m very accommodating if your dog needs extra love! I am always home so they won’t ever be left alone for long periods of time.
“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!”
About: I have had pets ever since I was a small child: dogs, cats, hamster, gerbils, chinchilla, parakeet, turtles, even a toad that we saved from a freezing winter. We took care of it till spring and then released it. I love animals of all types. Almost, I'm not babysitting your tarantula or pet snake. My dog and cat are loved as if they were my children and your dog will be treated this way as well. We enjoy taking walks and car rides to the dog park in nice days. I never allow my dog outside without me. I am semi-retired and I work from home painting and repairing furniture and working on various crafts. Therefore I am very flexible with my time. I live in a decent sized 2 story home with a large back yard. It is not fenced all the way so my dog is always on a cable or leash. We live to go for walks and to the dog park for extra exercise. My dog is a husky mix and is almost 4 years old. She loves dogs of all sizes.

About: I am 23 & have owned and worked with many dogs and cats over the course of 4-5years through doggy daycare/boarding facilities, assisting with obedience training, medical situations, petsitting, and of course owning my own pets as well. Each animal has its own unique personality, traits, and quirks that make them special. Which is what I love about them so much! I work full time at a doggy daycare and have been for the past 3 years! It’s amazing getting to be around so many different dogs each day, I learn something new every day I understand different dogs have different needs, and different owners have different needs for their pets as well. Will do everything to keep the pet as happy and comfortable as possible while it’s people are away
“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

About: Hello! My name is Tabatha Garman, I am the sole owner and operator of Special Paws Pet Care and a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). As a veterinary technician, I play the nurse role of the veterinary team. I graduated from Kent State University with my Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology in May of 2021 and am currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Integrated Studies focused in animal behavior. While in school for my technician license, I gained various hands-on skills with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds, horses, snakes, and much more. Outside of school, I have trained at numerous veterinary hospitals and gained vital experience in CPR and emergency response. My personal experience caring for animals expands far beyond my education and career, as I have cared for my own, family's, and friend's pets my entire life. As previously mentioned, I have a vast range of experience with different species from small pocket pets and reptiles to large and farm animals. I love working with nearly any species, especially pigs and cows! My medication administration skills are just as vast, including giving various types of injections and fluids, oral pill and liquid administration, topical applications, etc. Any pets with special needs are assured to be taken care of! Specializing in animal behavior, those with unique personalities or who are a bit grumpy or naturally prefer alone time are some of my favorite to work with. I love working to understand them and win them over and am happy to try to work with any type of disposition or behavioral challenges. No job is too big or small. Whether you have a pet that needs daily medication, help getting around, and extra special care, or just want to feel comforted knowing that your furry family member is in great hands, I am happy to care for any and all of them. I am currently dedicating my time to in-home pet care while going to school full-time online, so I am free to fit your pet into my schedule however you may need. While I do personalize my schedule to fit your pet specifically, my typical day is scheduled like this and changed as needed, just to give you a better idea of your pet's time with me: When I arrive, I always spend time making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and has everything they need. When staying with them overnight, I will keep them company until morning, make sure they have everything they need and get some pets or playtime in, then I will leave as needed to tend to any other appointments, making sure to return to check-in and spend time with them at minimum every 3-4 hours, unless more frequently is needed. Whether you just need a daily check in and play time for your cat while you're away, or if you need someone to take your pup out every couple of hours along with walks and lots of play time, or even if you have an older pup who can't really spend time alone at all, we can definitely make a plan to suit your family purrr-fectly. Your pet's safety is always my top priority. Whether at home, in the car, at the vet, out for a walk, or at the park, I am always extremely diligent to make sure your pet stays safe and sound. I always use doggy seatbelts or enclosures when driving, reflective strips and flashlights at night, ramps and manual assistance for mobility-challenged pups, predator-deterrent to protect them from harm, and vet-approved chews or boredom busters to make sure your pup is happier and healthier when you arrive back home. Out of an abundance of caution, I typically do not have pets I'm watching interact with other pets I'm unfamiliar with (ie: no communal dog parks). In the case that anything does happen while I am with them, I am trained on the safest and most effective way to stop a dog fight, as well as being trained in CPR, emergency triage and response, and homeostatic stabilization. I also always have a list of the nearest emergency hospitals on hand should they ever be needed. I strive to follow all pet-parent's wants and needs for their pets, including whatever training or rules you may have for your pet while they are in my care (crating, treats, toys, etc). If there are any additional safety measures you would like to discuss, just let me know!
About: I have years of experience caring, loving, and training dogs. Navigating three senior dogs (18 years+) at once I can administer oral and topical medication and understand the gentle and considerate care senior dogs require. I’ve trained two puppies from zero to age two in accordance with the Canine Good Citizen Standards. I believe in a fear free positive reinforcement training and caretaking style and am studying to help generally train service dogs (online training and I’ve shadowed a non-profit trainer). Pet care is ingrained in my daily and weekly schedule with the ability to work from WiFi, and it’s a blessing. From walking, movement, exercise, brain stimulating games, and general care - it is all included in my day. I care for your pets how I’d want someone to care for my pet - of the highest standard of attention and thoughtfulness in both my space and yours.

Your peace of mind and your pet's happiness are my top priorities. 🐾💕 Pet care fits into my daily routine as a top priority. From morning walks to evening playtime, I structure my schedule to align with your pet's needs. Feeding times are consistent, my goal is to keep them in the same routine as normal. Keeping them comfortable and well taken care of. If they have troubles eating from being away from home, I ensure you they will be comfortable to eat sooner than later with my calming techniques. In my home, pets receive the utmost care and attention, as if they were part of my own family. A cozy, pet-friendly environment awaits, with dedicated spaces for play, relaxation, and rest. Safety is my number 1 priority!!! I maintain a pet-friendly atmosphere, free from hazards.
