5. Abigail T.
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love playing with them and taking care of them. I’m an athletic person so if the dog is in the mood to play, I can certainly be a great playmate! I am only working part-time like 3 days of the week, so most days before or after school I am free to watch your pups! Also, on weekends I have a very flexible schedule! We have 2 dogs to keep your pup company. We usually just let the dogs out ourselves since we do not have a fence. We do have a crate if that’s needed!


6. Keerie F.

“Absolutely perfection!! 🤩 keerie was absolutely amazing at dating me on my kitty cat Louie. She was so wonderful about pictures, such a great communicator, I just felt like he was really in good hands. I’m looking forward to her doing overnights with my doggy as well in the future.”

11. Suzanne H.
About: I've taken care of dogs for my whole life. I've grown up and comfortable with dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, fish, horses, chickens etc. I've worked with Petsmart for 4 years now. I've grown up around rescued dogs which made me very used to scared/semi-aggressive dogs. I've also been used to having old dogs, so I understand medication times, helping them use the bathroom, getting them around the house, and the patience it takes. And for energetic dogs, I'm a very active person and walk 4 miles daily in my free time, so if you need them to wind down, I'm here to help! I am a college student, but I'll have my car with me and will be there if you need it, as long as I know in advance my schedule can work with yours! I work at Petsmart two days out of the week and I work with my dogs daily. My dogs get food in the morning and night depending on their weight. I let them run in our backyard for about 20 minutes every day when I get time. I love to take them on walks, which helps them relax at home for me to do some work. I take them for monthly baths, and nail trims when needed.


12. Megan M.

“Megan is a reliable, all-animal-loving dog sitter and a lovely person. Having her take my boy for walks while I worked long shifts put me at such ease. We are from out of town and here for the month for work- she told me about the area and gave me tips. She gave thorough updates, lots of pics of my boy, and answered any questions I had about his day. If I were staying in the area, I’d continue to book her every day!”




13. Abby K.


“Abby was great at taking care of my two cats! Her updates were thorough and she had no issues with meeting the needs of my cats. I will use her again in the future for sure!”


14. kirsty v.

“Kirsty v is fantastic. Very grateful for the care given to our pups!”


15. Talia N.
About: I have loved animals all my life and have been asked to watch family and friends pets on countless occasions. I believe in the importance of enrichment activities as well as the good ole belly rubs. Whatever the pet is in need of I am happy to help make their day brighter. I can’t wait to spread the love to more fur babies! I’m currently working full time but always have time for walks and playdates with your pets! Weekdays after 6:30 and weekends work the best but I am flexible! I have a2 year old Beagle Boston terrier who gets a few hours of physical activity and mental enrichment a day before winding down for snuggles and love. We spend time on training and puzzles as well as engaging walks.


16. Rebecca R.
“I was nervous to have someone else handle my ~90lb pup that gets really excited to see humans and likes to jump up and kiss their face. He also pulls the leash if he sees other dogs/large trucks. We had Rebecca over for a meet and greet, and went over his commands/routine. Rebecca was a gem and a champ handling him. I was able to go out of town without worry and she sent pic updates which were really sweet. I'm excited to go out of town again at some point just to have her over so my dog can visit with her! Thank you Rebecca!”


17. Jill J.

“Jill was Fantastic!! She did everything just as she said she would! We have a very shy cat, and he really warmed up to her😊 we’re so happy we didn’t have to worry about him.”


18. Elise G.
“I cannot say how much peace of mind I feel when Elise is taking care of my “babies “ (a sweet toy poodle and her wild and lovable companion, a teenage kitten). Elise kept their schedules, gave them extra attention and care, sent fun updates and made their care personal to their personalities and needs . She is calm, flexible, trustworthy, a true pet lover and very reliable . You will be very pleased and arrive home to happy pets !!”

20. William H.
“Alex has an extraordinary talent when interacting with animals. Alex has taken exceptional care of my pets. I owned two dogs whom I left in the care of Alex on several occasions. Immediately, Alex established a positive rapport with the dogs. Alex took the dogs on walks in Metroparks, to dog parks, as well as to the dog beach in Stow, OH. Alex is very responsible. He took the dogs to the groomer and to vet appoints. The dogs enjoyed spending time with Alex. Without reservation, I would highly recommend Alex as a pet caregiver.”
