House Sitting in Vandalia

About: I was raised in rural Georgia with an assortment of animals- cats, dogs, horses, chickens, goats, fish, cows, birds. My parents raised Bassett Hounds and Yorkies. I am experienced in puppies and elderly animals as well- even diaper changing!! I have ALWAYS had an animal in my care!! I worked for 30 years in the healthcare field, so caring for any injury or illness will be considered as well I am currently retired. I am looking for ways to stay busy. Although I care for 3 dogs now- I still find myself with extra time everyday! My preference would be to care for your pet(s) in your home, however I am willing to move them to my home if needed. I will have you provide a routine for me that will best suit your pets daily needs.

About: I have been a military dog ​​handler since 18 years old in the foreign country.I have met many different breeds, but each dog has a different character, so I am very patient with them, that is why I always find a common language with them. I have a lot of time to spend with dogs(cats), it is always a pleasure, it is not just job this is something I love to do. I provide good company for your pet in your home and will make sure that everything is alright and secured.I will carry out the owner's instructions upon request

“Elisa is the sweetest girl. She sent us daily photos and Bella loves her. We were never worried that our baby girl wasn't being well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Elisa if you need someone to care for your fur baby”

“Carol was amazing! Sent lots of updates and communicated the entire process while she watched my old fur baby! She was very thorough, flexible and detail oriented and took amazing care of my dog. Would use again . My dog felt right at home with her and I could tell in the pictures he was well taken care of! She goes above and beyond! AMAZING”

“Abby was awesome, we highly recommend her! My partner and I were out of town for a wedding and we needed a sitter last minute. Our two cats are on meds and she had no issues with administering such. I appreciate the regular photo updates, it was great to see our animals enjoying their vacation away from us :). She took great care of our home and we look forward to rebooking!”

About: I love all kinds of animals, lizards, birds, even the more unique pets! I have two dogs and two cats and so I know how important your pets are to you when you put your trust in me to provide care for them. I love walking so if your pets needs walks or playtime I am always up for it! I am also able to sit back and hangout with animals that are less active or older, I am very flexible and love meeting all sorts of pets. I look forward to meeting you and those special angels that make everything better. Currently I have a very open schedule, starting in mid-January I will start attending college again but will still have plenty of flexibility! Every day of the week it opens for me and times can be discussed. When I care for your pets, my focus is on keeping them comfortable and happy right where they feel most secure — at home with you. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual routines, and give them the same love and attention I give my own animals. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playful energy, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll adapt to their personality and needs. You can count on me to treat your home with respect and your pets with genuine care. My commitment is to keep your pets safe, loved, and well cared for, so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life, I have experience with cats, bunnies, dogs, ducks, chickens, and snakes! I will give your fur (or feather) baby so much love, they'll hardly notice you're gone! I am currently a freelancer, who is underemployed so I can fit pet care into my day in whatever capacity is needed. I am happy to stay overnight as well. I have pet sat for many notable Dayton figureheads including Mrs. Ohio! My home is not equipped to host dogs, but I will happily come to yours. I am a cardio instructor who loves to be outside, so going on walks will be my favorite part of the day. I will happily play with your pets, and snuggle them on the couch while I read or work on my latest craft project. I am very tidy and will leave your home exactly as I found it.

About: Ever since I was a child, I was responsible for the care of a variety of animals, and I mean solely responsible. Growing up (and today), I was the one that friends and family came to for pet sitters and care/training advice. I prioritize following pet care instructions to a tee- I do not cut corners on even the most “meticulous” of care instructions. With me, you can trust that your fur babies will receive the highest quality of care and attention because of my intrinsic love for animals. I do this because I love it, not for the money. Currently, I am a dog walker for three dogs, but I would love the opportunity to care for other people’s furry family members on top of that. I am free to walk dogs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. I am free to board dogs and cats Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am free to check in on your furry friends at home pretty much whenever, we can work out the details further when the time comes. - For checking in on pets: When in a client’s home, I am very careful to respect their belongings and privacy. I ensure that I only get into spaces that they instruct me to. *Please be aware: I take my boyfriend with me to house visits for safety precautions, he does not meddle with anything of course, he is just there to ensure my safety (meeting with strangers on the internet is scary, lol.)* - For boarding dogs: *Please be aware: For dogs, I can only care for small puppies. Unfortunately, we have a rescue dog who is reactive to adult dogs due to trauma. But, he is gentle as can be with small puppies and any sort of cats. We also have two cats who are dog friendly, so please ensure that your pup is good with cats* Also, I have a fenced in yard and a whole house for your baby to roam. -For boarding cats: We have two cats here, and though they are fairly cat friendly, I do not intend for them to meet client cats so as to avoid unnecessary stress on my and your cats. So, cats will remain separated. Your cat will be allowed to free roam a certain level of the house for hours, then will be switched out to another level of the house for hours (all while being blocked off from the resident kitties.) Of course, constant supervision will be in place for the entirety of their stay. Your kitty will also sleep in a room with me for the night. - For dog walking: Please provide dog poop bags and, if wanted, any sort of treats you would like for the walk. I require meeting dog walking clients in public places for safety precautions. Also, please let me know of any commands, work, or quirks (chasing after animals, dog aggressive, etc.) that you’d like me to keep in mind for our walks.

“Ashley was amazing! She was outstanding with my pup, he warmed up to her so quickly. Stayed in contact with me throughout my trip, I never once worried about my dog.”

About: I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes over the years. I love every pup, and every pup has unique behavioral and dietary needs, and they should all get the personalized treatment they deserve! As the experienced owner of a giant breed dog (and probably more in the near future), I want you to know that no matter the size and shape of your dog they will receive personalized care and fun time with me! I am retired from professional baseball, and this is a great way to spend my free time! I love dogs, and as a single guy with a ton of free time, this feels like the best use of it! I am happy to do whatever you may need to help your pet out… whether it’s a long walk during the day, an overnight stay, or just checking in and giving some treats, I’m here to help!

“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”

Don S.

“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”

About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.

“Kasey did a great job taking care of our greyhound. She kept us updated and sent pictures. She was respectful of our house and walked our dog. We will definitely book Kasey again in the future.”

“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”

“Brandon was so attentive to our pups’ needs and took great care of our home over an extended stay. He was extremely communicative, and I loved getting all of his updates and seeing how much time our pups were spending outside! He is the ideal petsitter for when you need someone to stay overnight / with your animals! Would 10/10 recommend!!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and cats. I have plenty of experience with many breeds from puppies to senior dogs, and am experienced with fosters and diabetic dogs. I’m currently working part time, and my flexible schedule gives me plenty of time to play with your pup! My availability is open during the week and weekends. I have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, and I have plenty of space in my home for your pups if you would rather they stay with me.
