“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“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”
“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her again!”

She diligently administered medication and treats, and always made sure my cat had fresh food and water. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

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 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.

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
About: I've lived with dogs my whole life! I'm all about creating a fun and relaxed environment where your dog can feel safe and loved while you're away! I'm on summer break from college, so I have plenty of availability. I'm flexible and happy to tailor my schedule to fit your needs. Whether it's regular check-ins, walks or occasional visits, I’m committed to being there when you need me. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and walks, and have lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions you leave—because your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority!
About: hi!! i’m paige & i treat every pet like they’re my own 🤍 i’ve cared for dogs of all sizes & personalities and i honestly love getting to know each one. whether they’re super high energy, a rescue, or more of a chill senior, i make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. i know how hard it can be leaving your pet, so i always send regular updates + pics so you don’t have to worry or wonder how they’re doing. people always tell me how relaxed their pets are with me and how much peace of mind they have, which means everything to me. i’m also really respectful of your home & always try to leave things just as clean (or better) than i found them. i tend to go a little above and beyond because that’s just how i am. my goal is simple: happy pets & stress-free owners :) this is my full time job so i’m pretty flexible and update my availability on here daily! i do still have my van just so you know but hopefully not for long! i do whatever is necessary by your standards to make sure they have the most accurate experience just as if mom and dad were home with them!

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: Hi there! Sometimes you wish you can travel with your fur baby/(s) but you just can’t 😞. While your pet is in my care, they will get the utmost care they deserve! I have had a deep passion for animals my entire life. I volunteered at Angels for Animals from 2015-2022. I have always had pets in my family and had a connection with all that I encounter with throughout my life. If your pet has separation anxiety, or if you’re worried about them being far from you while you’re gone… I promise, I’m the girl you will want to call! Every pup is different but deserves someone gentle, calm and friendly to care for them. We will spend time doing all the things they love, such as walks, playing games, and practicing tricks to help distract them from your absence. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is not just a commitment, but a genuine passion for creating a home away from home for your furry friends. With years of experience and a personalized approach, I ensure your pets feel like cherished family members! . 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. Your pets aren't just guests; they become cherished members of my home, receiving the love and care they deserve. 🤎🐾

“Heather did an excellent job. She is reliable and my dog is very shy and fearful at times but he fit in well with her dogs and I was at peace when I was gone knowing she was taking care of him. I will definitely work with her again! She is a kind and loving person.”

“Above & Beyond with updates & pictures without even asking! Such kind people & nice home that I feel total ease leaving my doggie in their care! They even introduced him to his new fav toy! Doggy heaven!”
“Mary was great for our last minute trip and flexible with scheduling, which was much appreciated. I love that our boy got tons of outside time while we were away. It was exactly what he needed. She provided pictures and updates daily. Our boy came home happy and tired.”
“Michael is the dog whisperer! My 2 dogs loved him and the time they spent with him. My kids anxiously awaited the daily videos Michael sends. In every video my boys seemed happy and had tails wagging. The peace of mind I have when my boys are with Michael is priceless. And, he is responsive and easy to work with! I highly recommend Michael!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“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”
“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her again!”
“We were very nervous about leaving our lab, Mila, when we were away. The took the best care of Mila. I got updates and Mila was a very happy pup upon picking her back up. Our minds were at ease”
About: While volunteering for dog rescue for 6+ years, I’ve had the opportunity to foster over 160 dogs of all ages, administer just about every type of medication, and vaccinate 1000’s of dogs traveling to foster and adopter homes I do not work for anyone else. My time will be fully dedicated to your pet along with my own and with as much love I have 3 friendly dogs at home. I have the ability to keep dogs separately in open or closed rooms. Crates or not crated. Once comfortable, they can spend time on the couch and playtime with other dogs with your approval.
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
About: I have been dog sitting/own dogs since the age of 16. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as if they’re like a child. Love them all! I currently work a corporate job, so I would be at work the hours of 8-5. I work a hybrid schedule so I am home 2/5 days all day as well. It is flexible and I can work around schedules as well. I am off the weekends as well! I have a ton of grass around my apartment, plenty of toys. And plenty of love to offer to all animals! I also am a available to go to the house to watch as well!
“Asher M. was a wonderful pet sitter for my two boys! This was the first time that I have ever had anyone, besides family members, watch my two cats. My boys are almost 12, and one is diabetic, but I had no concerns during my trip. Asher stayed in contact with me, gave me his personal cell phone number, and even sent me pictures of my two cats during my trip. I appreciated all of this greatly, and cannot recommend his care enough! Thank you for making my first experience with not only Rover, but also with boarding my two cats anywhere, a smooth and stress free experience. I will book again with Asher M. if I find myself needing another boarding for my two.”
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.
