Paula is my go-to for a while now and am so happy to have found her! I have had to run out of town a couple times now on short notice for sudden family matters and with Paula, the dogs are the one thing I don't have to stress about! I know they are taken care of and happy pups! She has bailed me out a couple of times now and I can't thank her enough! She even left me and the dogs a Christmas card the last time... so thoughtful of her! If you need someone for an upcoming weekend, I highly recommend her!

About: Growing up I had experience with small and medium sized dogs at home, especially always loved taking them for walks. I currently have three cats of my own. Despite working two jobs, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet sitting services on Sundays, Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and weekend evenings. I'm committed to making time for pet care because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and ensuring they are happy and well-cared for. I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment for your pets. I will meticulously follow any specific rules or routines you have for your cats or dogs to ensure their well-being and comfort. Additionally, I am happy to build a wonderful relationship with both you and your pets. To keep you updated and reassured, I can send photos and videos of each walk or visit.

About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, swimming, agility and lots of playing. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.

Respectful and Professional, got along great with my precious creature. Followed instructions perfectly, and reached out when needed. Could stand to be more assertive w/ dogs sometimes, but still a great sitter. 10/10 would book again :)

About: I'm a true dog lover, who will treat your dog as my own. I've owned dogs my entire life and have experience with rescues of all sizes. I understand the needs of some fearful or reactive dogs too. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I work mostly early mornings before the sun rises, so I'm increasingly flexible as the day goes on. I'm available during most traditional 9 to 5 work days. I have a fenced-in yard and have a rescue dog. My dog has fear reactivity issues we've had to overcome, so I understand having patience and structure with dogs.

Bailey was fantastic!!! I needed someone to help last minute for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and she was able to make it happen. My dog, Scout, was immediately comfortable with her. He gave her lots of snuggles and kisses while I was gone. I could not have asked for a better sitter to trust with my pup over the holidays! I highly recommend Bailey!

About: I have a dog of my own, and I’m away for college so I don’t see him much. I would love to connect with other dogs so I can feel more at home! I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to walk or visit your dog! I am available Monday-Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 1pm, and selective weekends. I have an electric fence at home which my dog has adapted to. I also make sure to walk him and play with him in order to keep him active, since he is an older dog.

About: Hello! My name is Shawntel and I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had 2 dogs and 4 cats. Now I have three dogs that I couldn't imagine my life without them, with two of them being rescues. When I’m booked for house/dog sitting, my dad gets to stay and spend time with his grand-pups (: One is a German Shepard mix, another one is a Pitbull, Husky, Lab mix, and my newest addition is a golden doodle! The German Shepard is a senior so I am used to making accommodations for animals as well as giving mediations. It doesn't matter if they are young or old, big or small, boy or girl-- I love them all. I am currently a first grade teacher in Lake County which I recently took time away from dog sitting to focus on my new position. But now I’m back!! So I am available before and after the school day during the week for your animals and pretty free on the weekends. I am usually pretty flexible so if you need anything special for your animal, just let me know! I also dedicate my summers and school breaks to house/dog sitting! I truly believe that a well taken care of animal is a happy one, and who doesn't want their fur baby happy?! I look forward to meeting you and your sweet animal(s)!!

About: I have had two dogs one of them since they were a puppy. I have been asked to dog sit for multiple families on more than one occasion. I currently work full time but am not married or have children. When I dog sit, it is my main focus and I spend as much time as possible with them. I follow the structure/ times the families are usually home. I have no problem transporting dogs in my car if necessary. I can give oral medication as necessary as well.

About: I have been rescuing & caring for animals for some time now, I have had experience with older animals and younger animals, with bottle feeding to giving them the medical care they need. My weekly routine in consistent and mostly flexible throughout the week, which makes it easier to tie things in between. Work and daily priorities. Pet sitting is where my main ideal routine would be. Giving them my upmost attention. Keeping them active and making sure they are well feed and taken care of. Being alert on essential needs they might have as well as making sure they are loved and adored.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I love all animals. Cats and dogs are my favorite. But I have also dealt with sugar gliders as well. I love to cuddle and play with the dogs and cats. I do the feeding to the cleaning up after being feed. Letting the dogs out to go potty to the litter box cleaning. If you are looking for someone that loves animals I am the girl you are looking for. I am very reliable and trustworthy with your furry family member. I love animals and wish one day to possible have a shelter of my own to help all animals I need of help. If you need someone to help with baths I can do that too. I can do drop in after 6am -11am and then I can go back after 4pm till 9pm ! I work at ups in the early morning then take care of kids during the mid afternoon into early evening. I currently accept house sitting clients and or drop in visits. I am happy to complete any chores that are needed while you are away.

Christy did an amazing job! The dogs love her and she is so gentle and kind. I texted her asking if she could drop in a few hours early one day because our schedule changed. She immediately responded and dropped in on our dogs within minutes. We were feeding one of our dogs chicken and rice and we ran out and she offered to bring some on her next drop in! We couldn't ask for better service and care! We will book her again!
