Dog Sitting in Vandalia

“Taylor was an amazing sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. We had a stressful and emotional wedding get away and knowing the pets we're in good hands was a huge relief. Her check ins went exactly by the schedule we planned and she provided several photos at each visit. She quickly responded to any questions I had during our time away. We are excited to have her close by and available to help in the future!!”

“Shaelyn is awesome! So thankful for how she cared for my kitties while I was away- I was slow to message and she read my mind with some of the things I forgot to mention ahead of time (e.g. adding extra litter to the litter box). Reliable and 100% will book again!!”

“Ashley was amazing with our two cats. She’d always let me know when she was on the way over to our house and gave me an update on how the cats were. We'll definitely have her over again when we go out of town.”

“Monroe did a great job with my cats. They are very reclusive so she didn't actually see them, but she visited faithfully and took care of their needs. She is very pleasant and cooperative to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Angela takes good care of Oliver and communicates well so I feel good about leaving him in her care. I recommend her highly. I appreciate finding her after moving to the Troy area.”

“Mandy did a great job with Jake, my cat. I was confident that he was being well cared for and Mandy did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable. This was my first time using a pet sitter and I was very happy and will definitely use Mandy again for my next trip.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs

“Did an excellent job taking care of our doggos! Thank you!”

“Mary was the BEST! Our sitter had an emergency come up and we were already out of town. I contacted her at midnight asking if she could help out starting at 9:00 the next morning and she responded right away. She was a great communicator and loved our sweet girl for us while we were gone. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of house pets from ferrets, cats, dogs, and even rabbits. I am comfortable with all ages of animals, able to give oral medication, take them out and about on walks or to the dog park, I have training experience so if your animal is ill mannered I can work on that if requested. I currently work about 30 hours a week as a seamstress, and use pet care as a way to make up the rest of my income. Depending on the service, time/day, and weather, I would arrive in the mornings at about 9:00 am, take the dog(s) for a walk, feed them, then take them for a second walk. I would spend approximately an hour with them in total. In the afternoon I would either like to take them to the dog park to tire them out or I will take them for another walk and play with them in the house for approximately an hour. In the evening, I would arrive at 5:30, take them for a short walk, feed them and take them for a second short walk and play with them in the house.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a pet in my home. From tiny pugs to large pyr's, to shy and friendly kitties, and even the occasional turtle and rat, I have always had an affinity for animals. I trained my first puppy at 16 years old, and now at 20 years old I work as a doggy daycare attendant for a business that sees 60 dogs a day! I am no stranger to all things furry and friendly, and I also have some experience when it comes to pills and ointments. Not to mention, I've become perpetually nose blind to your typical dog and cat smells, so if Bella needs a quick bath, I can make that happen! Sunday to Wednesday I am available after 3:30pm for any services you may need. Thursday to Saturday, I have much more time open for anything you may need, and I am almost always open for overnight stays, even on days that I work. I follow any directions or rules you give me to perfection. I am a stickler for pet routines, so you best believe that if your baby needs one walk at 1 o'clock, then lunch at 1:23, and then a second walk at 1:25, that's how it will get done.

“I love Isabel! She is so attentive, caring and sweet to my kitties! Always flexible and willing to work around holidays - it’s so hard to find a good and trustworthy sitter, I am so grateful I have one. If you have any hesitation booking with her, I am here to tell you everything is ok, book with her immediately! She even kept me updated on packages delivered while I was gone. If you are looking for pet sitting or even drop ins, Isabel is the sitter for you, tbh. 10/10 would recommend and book again with her, (and will!)”

“Taylor is absolutely amazing and we will be using her again!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! She took excellent care of Luna and Red while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had fresh water, got plenty of potty breaks outside, and most importantly, gave them lots of love and snuggles. She sent us photos and updates, which really helped us relax knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She exceeded every expectation. I accidentally mixed up and changed the schedule several times, and she was incredibly patient, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. Luna and Red were clearly comfortable with her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! Highly recommend!”

About: I love all animals really. I've had them since I was little. And I prefer larger dogs if they were my own. But each their own. I recently stopped working in health care. Did that for the last 20 yrs so I'm going from caring for people to your furbabies for you when need. I do have a fenced in yard. 1 dog and 1 cat of my own. And a crate if needed for your dog or cat.

It is my goal to alleviate any concerns for your pets while you are away. I can provide references on my character professionalism and work background. Most of all I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them the upmost deserving care you seek. I look forward to having the opportunity to serve you!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for over 30 animals at a local humane society while I was studying at BGSU. Now I live with my husband and our two cats, Alani and Vito, who keep our home full of love and purrs! During my time volunteering, I made sure every animal felt safe, well-fed, and cared for—and I bring that same dedication to every pet I look after. I’d love to be a trusted companion for your furry family member! I currently work as a Mental Health Technician. My schedule is part-time at two days a week, though the days differ each week! Additionally I work one weekend a month! While volunteering at the humane society I have learned about animal behavior and have stuck to a schedule that is both healthy for you and your pet. Personally I will treat your pets like they are my own <3
