About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs of every background! I am currently a college student and taking some time off of work to focus on my studies and would like to make some extra cash to help pay my loans/carry some weight at my family's house. My family has quite some land, and although not fenced, I am very active and always run with my own dog on a leash. I do 30 minutes to an hour walk twice a day. Potty breaks are very consistent.

About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I am available to do pet care whenever you need me to if I have some type of notice to do so. Thank you so much. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and truly have a love of it. I have been taking care of other people's dogs for five years. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I am currently not working a normal job so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will have time for weekend and weekdays. I have a crate available for your pet if needed. There are two dogs where I live but both are very friendly and ready to play with new friends.

About: I've taken care of animals of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care their pets... I am looking to fill up some free time I have and I’m available on week days as well as weekends to care for your fur baby My pets run and play on a farm all day long and are treated and cared for as loving members of the family of course

“Kayla has been truly awesome with watching my cats! She is diligent in sending daily Rover Cards with photos, and letting me know how things are going! I trust her completely with my pets!”


About: I have been regularly pet sitting for the past three years, and have sat for various friends' pets in the past. I have cared for senior pets and administered medication. I understand that having the "parents" away can be a stressful time for a pet, and I do my part to ensure that the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care. I am an artist/freelance designer and side gig virtuoso (that's a fancy way of saying I make my own schedule). I keep things flexible to adapt to different environments. I believe that animals are healers and that we get back the care that we give to them. I am deeply grateful that I get to have the freedom that this and my other gig/freelance work allows me. I hope that is reflected in my care and respect of the clients' home.

“I was so relieved to have found Madison. My senior rescue cat is incredibly afraid of anyone new, but I knew it was a good sign when she sniffed Madison when she reached out to her! She was gentle with her. It gave me peace of mind to see photos of my little fuzzball when I was away (even when she was hiding). I’ll definitely ask for Madison’s help again in the future.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly treat every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I stay active, love spending time outdoors, and always make sure pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, giving medications, or just making sure your dog gets plenty of playtime, I’ve got it covered! I’m currently working part time but I’m very flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights, overnights, etc. if you need me, I’m there to take care of your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine, gets lots of attention, and feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.


About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

About: I have taken care of many different pets for as long as I can remember! My love for caring for animals started when I was 12 years old and taking care of my own five ferrets. It wasn't long after that when both of my parents had started bragging about my consistency and dedication when it came to taking care of pets to my family and their friends. From that point on I have gotten calls from my aunts, uncles, and family friends to care for their furry friends while away on vacations and business trips. This has made me confident enough to want to help other families take care of their animals when needed too! :) I currently go to college at Ohio University and would only be available to work on my school breaks starting every August-May. However, my schedule over the summer is pretty open and I would love to spend as much time needed with your fur babies! With any instructions given I am sure to not skip one step! I will give your pet all the attention and cuddles necessary. Due to me having a dog who doesn't get along with new dogs, I would care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home. I am also willing to stay overnight if needed when I am available to do so.

“Ness is a great drop-in cat care person! One of my cats adored her—she was his food source after all! The other cat, who is quite neurotic and hides when anyone comes in the house, usually goes on an hunger strike when I’m gone but actually ate his food and even meowed for her one time. Ness’ quiet energy made everyone happy.”


“Lillian is super friendly and kind, and Stuart loves her which is so important! She's definitely a great animal person and it's such a huge relief to have somebody so nice to check in on the little guy while we're out of town. I'm sure he appreciated her visit as much as we did! She's very communicative and sent us a bunch of pictures as well. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
