Personalized care for your dog or cat - Rawson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rawson
“It was our first time leaving our pup since we’ve had her. We need a last minute sitter and Oren took her in and did so good with her. We were given so many updates and pictures any time we asked. She even was taken to a dog park to run and play. We will definitely be booking him for our next vacation.”
“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.”
“Emily took great care of our dog, and from pictures and updates it looked like Sunny had the best time and also made friends with her pup! Will definitely bring Sunny back to her in the future!”
“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!!!”
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.
“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!”
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.

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars. The best cat sitter and goes the extra mile for your animas!! Includes in depth updates and is flexible with changing schedules and adjustments that come up! Mama loves them.”
“Payed attention to detail, took great care of my two cats while out of town, and updated me if time of arrival was going to change based off originally scheduled time. Great in all ways!”
About: My family dog found my first cat while we were out on a walk. He was a little guy that still needed bottle-fed and I fell in love with cats from that point on. He was my heart cat and was with me through many ups and downs in my life and the birth of my son. The cats that have come into my life have all been strays, with two being born in our bathroom six years ago! I currently have 3 cats and one has had medications for urinary issues so I can administer meds. I also understand the importance of making sure litter boxes are clean so cats want to use that space instead of any other.
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.
“Was out of town for three weeks for work and needed to find a cat sitter for the first time. As anxious as I was leaving my two kitties alone with someone else Kery made it super easy and comforting while away. If you are looking for a pet sitter Kery is my recommendation.”
“I was so happy with the services Krystina provided! She gave so many details every visit and photos and went the extra mile to help with trash and watering flowers. I would use her again with ZERO hesitation!! A+++”
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 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.
About: Hi! My name is Hayley. I am 25 years old and have four of my own furry babies; Watson, Oscar, Scoobet- Doobert, & Emma. I am a grad student at OSU. I grew up with dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, bunnies, lizards, and much more. Which has led me to become the animal lover that I am today. I have experience with caring for pregnant dogs and cats and have assisted in birth of some puppies. I also have experience with horses. I have worked with/ live with multiple puppies and kittens. I can help with training with puppies/dogs. No dog is ever too old! I love all animals, no matter how big or small. And I look forward to loving yours. See you soon! I currently am a full time online college student, my routine is pretty flexible with the right time notice. Feel free to ask me any questions. I find it best to care for your fur babies in your home where they are the most comfortable. This way your fur babies are the most happy and healthy.
“I’m so glad Mackenzie is back from summer break. My pups remembered her and were so well taken care of. Thank you Mackenzie for the amazing pics and for your constant communication. You are the BEST!!”
About: My friends & family have always relied on me to take care of their pet(s) while on vacation! I’ve had a lot of experience more so with puppies to the younger ages! I’m willing to dog sit from puppies to older dogs. When it comes to animals I am very caring & will take absolute good care of you pet(s)! I currently work full-time. Sometimes it'll be 8-12 hour shifts. I definitely will make time on my lunch break to go back to the house & let the animals out! I don’t want them to be locked up anymore than they have to be! I’m very loving with animals! Going on walks, playing with them, bathing them if needed. I do like to spoil them as well. I care for someone else’s pet the way I would want my pets to be treated!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rawson
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: I’ve taken care of many dogs, I also worked with large animals growing up. Have experience as a kennel tech in Florida. Can’t wait to take care of your fur babies. I’m available anytime during the day, I have to drop my son off at school at 8:15am and pickup is 3:15pm. Other than that I’m free all day. I have a large fenced in yard, I have my fur baby. This is a loving and compassionate home. My dog is a very sweet girl.
“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: 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.

I’m a stay at home mom while I’m currently going to college :) I have open availability and I’m also very flexible with scheduling. My dogs get along with other animals. I also can take your pet to the dog park and walks. My family loves the outdoors. I can also provide references if need be and i can also provide a picture of my certification. Your pet will be treated like he/she is apart of my family ☺️ We can meet and greets and you’re more than welcome to visit my home also ☺️

“We genuinely appreciate Kelly! She stopped by on her lunch break to let Bean out and even walked him early in the morning before heading to her other job. Her dedication and flexibility mean so much to us. Kelly is reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile for Bean. We’re so grateful for her help!”
About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.
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: I’ve had dogs my entire life of all shapes and sizes. I love all animals and meeting new dogs is so exciting and rewarding to me! I love my pets as if they’re my children and would treat yours as if they were my own. I am so excited to meet new pets! I currently am working about 30 hours a week as a bartender and server. I do not have a set schedule but am hoping to fit in pet walking and care any time that I am able. I’ll provide whatever care and services you need in a way that makes you and your pets happy. I’ll take the time to get to know your pets and build a relationship with them so that they trust me and we both enjoy our time together!
About: I grew up watching a lot of Animal Planet, back when Animal Channel was Steve Erwin, Jeff Corwin, Meerkat Manor, and various Vet shows, and I've always had cats around me at home and at my grandparent's. I've also walked and cared for dogs for family off and on over the years. I promise to do my best to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I can't do any boarding or stay overs as I have two of my own cats I need to love on, but I'm currently part-time, so I am fairly flexible to make time for your fur babies otherwise. I fully understand that some pets want space from strangers outside the necessary while others need someone to hang out with them and tire them out. I'm comfortable to providing whatever your pet needs.
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.
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: 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 am an engineer by day, pet lover by night! I’ve had pets ever since I was a child. I love being able to take care of pets’ needs and am always sure to show them extra love! I am available during lunch time or after work hours Monday - Friday. Weekends are wide open for me and I can take care of your pet whenever! When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I make sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment, sticking to their routines and providing the care they need. I will always treat your home with the utmost respect.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many breeds and sizes since i was very young. This included providing food, water, medications, bathing, cleaning up after the dogs and more. I previously worked at a dog daycare so I understand dog body language and know how to approach appropriately. I am in school at The University of Findlay for Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary. I will do my best to fit your furry friends into my schedule! I provide drop in visits every 4-8 hours based on your pets needs. I am knowledgeable on the use of oral or injected medications as well.
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 worked at a animal boarding center where i would feed, walk, train, and do different types of enrichments for the animals mainly cats and dogs! I am currently a full time nursing student at The University of Findlay. I currently have a dwarf hamster at home to take care of but still have an abundance of time to use with being a sitter. I am an 100% animal lover all of my own pets are spoiled day in and day out. I will do my absolute best to make sure each time I animal sit i spoil and treat the animal with the upmost respect!
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: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.
