Dog Sitting Willoughby

About: I have been dog sitting for 10+ years, all shapes, ages & sizes. I helped train/walk my neighbors therapy dog while I was in high school and I was Involved in a club at The Ohio State University called Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I trained, walked and sat dogs of ages 2 months and up that then get assigned to someone in need of help. I have also worked at a vet hospital assisting/watching the doctor during procedures, check-ups and client visits. I love working with dogs/cats and always learning new training techniques. I love watching them grow and learn to become wonderful, well behaved dogs/cats. I love playing and being active with dogs and/or cats and giving them as much attention as they need/want. Your mind will be free of worry while you're away. Your cute furry family member will have the best care and the most attention you could possibly hope for. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs myself to approve of that! :) I work from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day to attend to your furry babies! Potty breaks, walks during lunch, etc! I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs to keep your pup company! I also have a crate if needed. Can accommodate to any normal routines at home.

About: My passion for caring for animals began in childhood while growing up on a farm. From a young age, I helped clean stalls, collect fresh chicken eggs each morning, and care for a variety of animals. I was always the kid begging my parents for more pets, and animals quickly became my greatest source of comfort through a tough childhood. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working on a horse farm, where I learned the value of consistency, safety, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve fostered bottle-baby kittens, assisted my mom in breeding golden retrievers, and helped raise her litters many times. My love for animals has no boundaries — I’ve worked with everything from farm animals to dogs, cats, and even jumping spiders, which I currently breed. I have two dogs of my own — Meme, who is 6, and Pia, who is 3 — and they are my whole heart. They have a daily routine I take seriously: outside time at 6:00 a.m., treats before I head to work, a midday potty break, and an evening 30-minute walk at 5:30 p.m. On weekends, we enjoy adventures at the park or exploring new places. I understand how important structure and routine are for pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve provided a wide range of pet care — from weekend stays to week-long vacations — both in my home and in others’. Whether it’s an active pup needing exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle attention, or a young animal that needs extra patience, I’m flexible, attentive, and committed to giving each pet the love, safety, and care they deserve. My pups have an entire routine each day. In the morning they go outside at 6:00 am. I do have a fenced in back yard, so I leave my sliding glass door open so they may come in and out. The get treats in the morning before I go to work. I do return home for lunch to let them out to potty. I return home around 5:30 each day and we go for a 30 minute walk. They get their bedtime treat and we start again the next day. On weekends I do like to take them to the park or on adventures. My pups would love some friends, and sleep overs. I know how important my dogs routine and/or schedules are and I would take your pup’s routine just as seriously. The amount of care I offer for pets on a regular basis always fluctuates. I have had pups for a week long vacation, and I have also had just weekend stays. Various weekends I do stay at others homes and care for their pets. I’m very flexible.

About: As a pet owner for 20+ years (15+ years pet sitting for friends, family and word of mouth), I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. I can assure that I will provide the highest degree of professionalism and genuine care for your pet(s). With the experience of a variety of pets and breeds, I follow their own unique characteristics that deserve undivided attention. After recently losing my last dog I can’t get myself to get another one just yet so I am always looking forward to meeting and interacting with new pets! I am an energetic young adult who loves walking and hiking with a flexible schedule. Whether it is only for a moment or a few weeks I will always make sure that your pet feels comfortable and loved with a full healthy belly :) Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services! Thank you, Hannah I work remote with flexible hours that don’t take up a lot of my day. I maintain an active and adventurous lifestyle that fits with your pup getting the proper exercise and needing to let the zoomies out of the energetic ones. I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure in their own home or while away. I prioritize their routines, well-being, and happiness while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their pets are in reliable, responsible, and caring hands.

“Thank you Steven for taking care of Jeff and Jax’s. Once I get back I will reach out regarding my future travel to understand your availability.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

About: I just moved back to Ohio and I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday 6am-4pm (I have clinical at the VA for grad school) I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I can discuss as well. I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current family dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out

“Dasha has been great with both of my dogs! Blue is a new puppy to us and certainly requires much more work, however Dasha was absolutely fantastic with him and he seemed very thrilled with having someone able to come and play with him while I was gone for the day!”

“You will never book another sitter again after meeting Bryan! He loves and understands cats so truly and provides the best, most thoughtful updates. My cat is my baby and my best friend and I have never felt more secure with her in someone’s care!! He took care of absolutely everything and ensured he knew all about her quirks and personality and play habits and veterinary information just in case. She seems so happy and well taken care of! I assure you, your cat will love Bryan.”
