About: I’m a caring and patient animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I treat every pet like family and focus on being dependable, professional, and fun. I’ve owned three dogs and a cat over the past 20 years so I understand that every pet has a unique personality. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I work full-time but have availability in late afternoons to evening (3pm and later) Mon-Fri and all day Sat/Sun, for services like dog walking and drop-in visits for any type of pet. I’m happy to follow any special routines, administer medications as instructed, and send regular photo/text updates while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and becoming a trusted part of your pet’s care routine! I work during the weekdays until late afternoon. I’m available most week nights and weekends. My kids are in college, so I’m looking for something enjoyable to do on the side. I would be able to care for your pet in your home when available or gladly come by to check on your pet or take them for a walk if needed.

Winnie loved Ms. Lisa! Ms. Lisa was attentive and followed all simple instructions left and went above and beyond to take care of some unexpected pest infestation we had. She communicated everyday and sent photos of how Winnie was doing. I really appreciate the love to my girlie and Winnie appreciates the attention and love she recieved from Ms.Lisa.

Abigail responded immediately to our request for cat sitting visits and scheduled a meet & greet in a timely manner. She made two daily visits, per our request, and handled our detailed instructions with ease. We were very pleased with the care she provided our cats while we were away over the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you, Abigail!

About: I have about 15 years experience with all sorts of animals ranging from big dogs to rodents, I provide walking an check-ins for dogs an cats. When going for walks just around the neighborhood I like to add just a little running to get those heartbeats pumping. With check-ins I'm available to do about 3-4 times a day if needed, I am also willing to give medicine if your pet requires it. I'm flexible when it comes to schedules an am always willing to work with you so you an your pet get the best service provided. If you have any questions or concerns I will be more than happy to address it, just shoot me a message an I'll get back to you within 24-48hrs It's something that I have always wanted to do, and I am willing to rearrange and schedule pet care and walking as needed for my client's pets. In my own home, I make sure that my cats are well fed, exercised, groomed, and up to date on their routine vet visits and vaccines to ensure they are healthy and happy. In my client's home, I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me in any and all situations. I ensure that they are also fed, given medications if needed, exercised, and loved all in a visit.

About: I’ve worked with rescue dogs for several years, which has given me experience with puppies, seniors, and nervous dogs with different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with giving medications if needed and helping reinforce things like crate and potty training. My main focus is always patience and making sure each pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I take the time to really learn each pet’s personality so I can meet them where they’re at and build trust at their pace. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my day-to-day life! I’m organized and make it a priority to give each pet the attention and care they need while maintaining a consistent schedule. Even with classes starting up in the fall, I’ll still have the flexibility to provide reliable care and keep up with each pet’s routine. When caring for pets, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience where pets can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their familiar surroundings.

About: Hi there! I’m Katie, your go-to pet lover who believes every wag, purr, and cuddle makes life brighter. I’ve grown up around animals and have spent 15 years caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional quirky critter. Whether your pup needs adventurous walks, your senior dog needs gentle care, or your cat just wants a playmate, I’ve got it covered. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to “make time for”—it’s already woven into my daily rhythm. Each day, I start and end with time spent outdoors, which makes dog walking and playtime a natural part of my schedule. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, meals, and check-ins, and I keep my afternoons flexible for drop-ins or longer adventures. When I come to your home, my priority is keeping your pet comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and special quirks are all respected. I keep things tidy, give them plenty of attention, and send you updates so you know they’re well cared for. Pets feel secure because they get to stay in the space they know best, while still getting all the affection and companionship they need.

Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.

About: I have watched dogs ever since I was little. I started with a family friends two huskies. They loved to run in their yard and would come visit us on days that we weren't watching them by jumping the fence. When I was 10 or 11 we got our first dog and then we got another a few years later. My wife and I now have three dogs all of which are rescues. I can help with any animals so long as I have a few days heads up that you need help. I have experience watching pretty much every kind of pet from snakes to horses. If you need your dog, or even your cat, walked than I will be happy to help. I can even just stop by to make sure that everyone has a chance to go outside throughout the day. I can stop by and just sit with your pets or I can take them out into the yard and run or throw the ball with them. I am also happy to take them out on long or short walks depending on the pets needs and age. If anybody need medicine I have plenty of experience giving it to them as well as giving dogs physical therapy while recovering from surgery.

I asked to drop in and let my 90lb Lab out during lunch times. She sent pics and updated me on how he was doing. She did a great job and I know gave my doggie some extra loving while we were gone. Absolutely will recommend to anyone and will request her again!

About: I have cared for my own pets for ten years, and I began my pet sitting business at age 14. I absolutely love working with animals. I travel a lot, but love to work as much as possible when I am home! During that time, I am available pretty much 24/7 for pet care. I believe that communication is incredibly important, especially when you are entrusting your beloved pet to a stranger. I always message the owner with any concerns or updates.

About: I have had dogs at home my whole childhood, where I had my first exposure to taking care of them. I have been partially responsible for my childhood dog's care for about 7 years. More recently, I have been a trainer for future service dogs through the organization 4 Paws for Ability. I have had formal training on how to care for and do training with puppies, adult dogs, and service dogs. My professional experience in taking care of dogs started about 2 years ago. For my first year of this I had full time responsibility of a service dog in training named Curry. I trained Curry from 12 weeks old to 1 year old, when he was accepted into the Advanced Training program at the 4 Paws facility! Any dog that I care for is properly supervised to ensure their safety and happiness. If you wish, I also training exercises while your dog is in my home. I am currently in medical school at wright state and usually have class for 3-5 hours on weekdays. I am otherwise flexible and available on some weekends. I will care for your pet by giving them lots of attention and snuggles. I will make sure that all of the dog's needs are met and take them for walks according to their energy levels.

About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.
