Personalized care for your dog or cat - Shade

“Tracy is the most thoughtful dogsitter, she kept me posted with photos and videos of my pup. My dog came home smiling from all of the fun she had with Tracy and her sweet dog.”

Alexa F.

“Wendy was outstanding. She was appropriately communicative and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. My dog was a bit anxious the first day and Wendy was patient and caring with him. Also, my plane got back late and Wendy was understanding. Cannot recommend highly enough”

“Lindsay is awesome! She loves dogs and treats your pet like her own. Our dog Duke had a great weekend stay with Lindsay. We will be using Lindsay again and we recommend you do too!”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. My neighborhood frequently go to me when they need a dog/cat sitter for a week and I'm used to going over as many times as needed. I'm patient and have had puppies growing up. This job is exciting for me because I genuinely love and care for all animals. I find that they brighten my day and I'm prepared to help my community take care of their pets. I'm about to graduate and have plenty of free time throughout my weekdays and weekends that I'm not out of town for soccer. I'll have lots of flexible times so I'm confident my schedule will work for many. I have a golden doodle named Stanley that loves to play and run around my yard he is a friendly giant that my neighborhood has all come to love. He loves walks and going for car rides.

About: I have experience with an array of animals. I have personally owned Dobermans, Shih Tzus, a husky, and French Bulldogs! Over the past 3 years I have begun fostering and helping a bit in rescuing kittens and a few litters of stray dogs! Taking care of and helping animals is a true passion of mine! I am currently enrolled in hybrid college. I spend another portion of my time on the farm taking care of things that need done! With my schedule being flexible I have availability to adjust when needed for animal care duties! We have a property of about 46 acres with an electric fence for the horses and a gate. The animals would be housed in the home. Outside activity would vary based off of the animals specific needs! Dogs would be outside at least 5x a day!

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I also run a nonprofit animal sanctuary, so animal care is a major part of my everyday life. I have experience with rescue animals, seniors, shy and anxious pets, medication routines, mobility limitations, and animals who simply need a little more patience and understanding. Senior and special-needs pets are especially welcome. I’m comfortable helping with stairs, mobility support, medications, slower-paced walks, and adjusting care to whatever helps your pet feel safest and most comfortable. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets plenty of supervision, companionship, enrichment, and one-on-one attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I treat every animal as an individual and try to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible while they’re in my care. I’m home full-time and animal care is already a major part of my daily routine through my nonprofit sanctuary and rescue. That gives me a very flexible schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort always come first. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take introductions slowly when other animals are involved. I’m experienced with rescue animals, seniors, anxious pets, and animals who need extra supervision or their own space. I’m also comfortable with medications, mobility assistance, crates, gates, and keeping pets safely separated when needed.

“She did so good with my cherry baby. She sent me lots of pictures and made sure I knew how she was doing. I will definitely go with her again.”

I’ve had animals since I was very little and have always loved them, I plan to be a vet tech when I can. I also have two dogs a chihuahua and an American bulldog that are both neutered. They are both very friendly as well and most of the time the chihuahua minds his own business. (By the way they are both male dogs). My whole family loves animals and would love for your to come stay or visit and even walks would be great. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for dogs to run in and much more. I work part time so I have time to take care of your pups! If I’m not home my boyfriend is, we have two pups that go everywhere with us I have a fenced in yard and I go on daily walks with my two pups that can help keep yours company. I have neighbors that are are very friendly and there dog had puppies!

“Our cat was well and as happy as he gets when his people returned from being away. Jacob did seem to forget some of the details of our instructions, such as refilling the second upstairs water dish. Still, our cat did not go without any essentials, and Jacob's photo updates were reassuring. Thank you, Jacob!”

Nicole P.

“Kristin was great with our kitties! And our afraid of everyone kitty absolutely loved her. Highly recommend. She was very attentive and provided us with great updates!”

Mary K.

“I can't say enough good things about Stefania! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat Boo Boo was happy and well-cared for while I was away. I received updates with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. She even managed to win over my cat, despite his tendency to not like strangers. What really impressed me was that she stayed longer than scheduled on drop ins. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals and their well-being. I highly recommend this cat sitter to anyone looking for top-notch care for their beloved pets!”

Cassidy S.

“Keila was super communicative, sent many photos, and gave lots of playtime to our cat! Would absolutely book again.”

About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!

About: I have experience caring for multiple households’ cats, including shy, senior, and high-energy cats. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, special diets, oral medications, litter maintenance, enrichment play, and sending regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

“mackenzie was an amazing sitter for my cat! my kitty is notoriously shy and aggressive around people but by the end of our trip mackenzie was cookie’s new friend! very diligent with photos and updates. highly recommend!”

Christofer S.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away. I’m currently a full-time college student at Ohio University, so taking care of pets is more of a weekend or holiday gig for me! I could fit a daily walk in to my schedule too! However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, from young kittens to seniors. Through my work with animal rescue and my nonprofit sanctuary, I’ve cared for shy and undersocialized cats, bottle-age and young kittens, seniors, newly rescued animals, and cats who need extra patience while adjusting to new people and environments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, litter care, enrichment, basic grooming, and monitoring for changes in behavior or appetite. I understand that cats all have very different personalities, so I’m happy to give your cat lots of attention or plenty of space—whatever makes them feel safest and most comfortable.

About: I specialize in feline care, from playful kittens to finicky seniors, and I know that each cat has their own personality and needs. I'm experienced in administering medications, handling special diets, and making even the shyest kitties feel safe and loved. My goal is to give your feline friend the comfort of routine, while you're away with total peace of mind.

About: I love cats, they are the best. I am able to cat sit if you need. I am also able to give them meds if they require as well.

“Perfect fit! After adopting a dog who has some reactivity, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to watch her and the rest of our crew (4 cats, a rabbit, and chickens) when we went on vacation. Julie put me at ease from the moment I met her and assured me she and Sasha would become friends. She did a long visit before I left and was there when we left. She let Sasha come to her and they quickly became friends. I am so thankful we found Julie. I will 100% use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”

“Very nice and willing to be flexible. I was in town for work and Rhys stayed every day for doggie day care. He was happy and excited to go back each day. I would use Wendy again”

Heather P.

“Duke LOVES his time with Miss Lindsay! Her and her husband are so precious & take the best care of him. Having your dog with them is like an extension of home for your fur baby - rather than taking them to an impersonal boarding place.”

About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life and am able to build a special connection with them! I can’t wait to build connections with more dogs, cats, and other pets! I am currently a college student at Ohio University who has been using rover during the summer and wanted to continue through the school year!! I Don't have many in-person classes so my schedule is flexible! Pets are just as important as people and are family! I make sure to treat my pets and others with care and respect, while also making sure they’re having fun and behaving well! Being the owner of a high energy dog myself, I am well aware of safety considerations as well!

“Nicole was great! She handled my two big dogs like a pro and was great communicating with this anxious dog mom.”

Kelsey E.

About: I bring over 6 years of pet sitting experience, along with a year of hands-on service dog training. This background has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, and confidently working with dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable reinforcing training for puppies, providing mental stimulation for high-energy dogs, and offering patient, attentive care for seniors who may need a slower pace or extra support. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to training service dog pups, I’ve trained my own dogs using cues in different languages, strengthening my understanding of how dogs learn and respond to clear, consistent guidance. I don’t just “watch” pets — I actively engage with them. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, or reinforcing good manners, I make sure your pet feels secure, stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can accommodate weekday and weekend bookings and will communicate clearly about any scheduling changes in advance. Every pet deserves patience, consistency, and a safe space while their family is away. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing loving care while maintaining clear communication and a secure home environment.

About: I’ve been house-sitting and caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and my passion for animals knows no bounds! With years of experience as a dedicated pet owner to both dogs and cats, I’m fluent in their unique behaviors and needs. My care extends beyond common pets — I’ve looked after a diverse range of animals, including chickens, horses, goats, reptiles, fish, rodents, and even tarantulas. I also have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, tending to elderly pets, and administering medications, including subcutaneous injections. Whether it’s providing companionship, specialized care, or simply ensuring your pets feel safe and loved, I’m committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. I am currently a graduate student at Ohio University. While I maintain a full-time school schedule, I have the flexibility to work from home when needed. I only accept pet-sitting jobs when I can fully commit to providing attentive, reliable care for your pet(s), ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’ve been caring for pets my entire life and am happy to follow any specific instructions — chances are, I’ve done it before! I understand that some pets have detailed care routines, especially when it comes to their health. My own pets have nightly medication schedule, so I know firsthand how important consistency and patience are. Our pets are family, and they deserve the very best care, filled with love and understanding.

“It wad great having Elaina stop by for a walk while we’re gone all day! She took Pixie for a nice long walk with lots of updates & photos. Thank you!”
