About: I have worked with animals all my life, including caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses, cows, and reptiles. I grew up providing basic first aid for my pets on my farm including bandaging, medications, and baths. I have worked with dogs from small jack russel terriers to large livestock guarding dogs. Most recently I helped my mom rescue and retrain a geriatric blue healer/beagle mix. This includes potty training and basic manners on and off the leash. I also administered medications 2x a day in the form of pills. I have also had experience giving injections for medications. I am well versed in all types of animal care, a quick learner, and great at following instructions. I’m a new stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I have 2 dogs of my own so adding more into our routine just makes sense! I love to explore, hike, and go for drives. It’s even better to do these things with a furry companion. Let me show your furry friend the joys of nature and lots of love and care.
“Nathan did a great job with my new rescue dog who was scared and timid of a stranger in the home. He was patient and able to win him over to make a new friend. Will definitely use Nathan in the future.”
About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

“We are so grateful for Abby! She has a very flexible schedule and is able to walk Sadie when we need. She is very communicative and lets us know when she is on the way and leaving with any other updates from the walk. The first week we booked her, Sadie wasn’t feeling well and took good care of her and kept us updated on how she was doing! It made us feel much better about leaving her at home. Not to mention Abby is great with Sadie! We will definitely book walks with her again! Thank you Abby!”

“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.”

Her dog adores her and she adores him, they are inseparable and the affection between them is a testament in itself. I left my dog in her care for a year when I moved out of state until I could get him to me and she was so good to him. She sent me pictures constantly. Everywhere she went my buddy was in tow. She also feeds my cat when I leave town and even though he's not the friendliest she handles his sass like a pro. his I would trust her with any pet of mine and highly recommend to anyone else who might be looking.”
