“Tanya was the best sitter we could have gotten for our 4 year old boy cat and almost 7 year girl cat with asthma, especially at such short notice. Not only was she attentive while we went over all the medicine care and personality details for the fur babies, but she was also super responsive and even sent check in pictures as well. She's also very conscious of animal behavior and what does/doesn't make cats comfortable or happy. If we ever need a pet sitter again, we won't hesitate to book Tanya.”
“Angie and her family are always so great with our dog, we never worry when leaving her. Even this time with leaving her overnight. So thankful for Angie and this platform!”
“Aubrey took great care of our dog, who needs special attention as he is diabetic. She keeps only one dog at a time, and stays at home, so she can pay full attention to the dog. Her dog is friendly and playful and provides great company. I would definitely leave our dog with her again.”
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! ?”
“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!”
“Jacob was great at communicating and sent photos of my dog without being prompted. He was fine with giving my dog three different kinds of medication. He has a fenced in backyard that my dog enjoyed. We'll be using him again for future out of town trips.”
About: I have trained the most difficult puppy I’ve ever met into being a mostly well behaved happy girl! I also owned a deaf dog for 12 amazing years will care for your dog like it’s mine! I work from home currently so will be here with your dog. Crating is an option if that’s what they’re used to. We love fetch and frisbee! I do not have a fence but will be able to do a tie out if needed. I love to walk dogs, and play with them!
“Finally found a great boarding place for Harley! Harley had a nice large space and outdoor run. In a quite county setting, which is just like home away from home. It was nice to be able to use a camera app to peek in on him from time to time. Harley was calm and happy during his boarding. This was a fantastic boarding experience for Harley, which takes the stress out of leaving him at boarding in the future.”
About: I have trained and taken care of all types of dog breeds. Ranging from a great pyreness to a shitzu. I am patient and dedicated. I am a stay at home mom, so I am home most of the day, 7 days a week. My daughter is in preschool, so I drop her off and pick her up but it is a short amount of time to do that. I have a fenced in yard, and will take the dogs on many walks. I absolutely will do anything requested to make you feel comfortable with leaving your fur babies with me!

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: 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.
“Amara was so kind! She watched my cat for a few days when I was out of town. She was communicative, friendly, and gentle with my cat. I trusted she would give the best care to my pet and she did not disappoint. She even left me a little welcome home card and gift 🩷🐾 I was very happy!”
“Kaitlyn was excellent! While watching our cat, Kovu, she sent lots of pictures and kept us informed throughout his stay. We were able to relax knowing she was taking great care of him. Would definitely use her again!”
“Bree is an outstanding sitter and a lovely human being! She cared for my and my partner’s cats (3) while we were out of town for a couple days. Her detailed check-ins (descriptive and timely updates, soooo many photos! 🥰) eased our hearts while away from the cats. It’s also so clear how much Bree loves doing what she does, AND my super shy cat LOVED playing with her. Bree, thanks for all you did for Hank, Moon Pie, and Kitten! 🥹❤️ I’d love to work with you again.”
