About: Hi! My name is Emma, and I am majoring in Biology with a concentration in Animal Ecology at Kent State. I am passionate about animals of all kinds, and I have experience caring for exotic as well as domestic critters through various internships and volunteering at a local animal shelter! I am a senior at Kent State graduating in December. My class schedule is pretty flexible, so I would be available certain times during the week for walking or drop-in visits. I am available on weekends for house sitting. I am committed to maintaining a safe and happy environment for your pup by following any of your directions and instructions regarding their care. I want to ensure an enriching experience for your pet that will leave them satisfied and happy for when you return to them!

“I was nervous about leaving my furbabies with a stranger but Kori reassured me and kept her word by sending me daily photos (sometimes several) of my dogs and was in constant contact the whole time. The house was as clean as I left it and she even washed her sheets and towels! The next time we go out of time I hope she's available.”


“Holly was great with our Beagle. She communicated and sent pictures. She asked questions which I appreciated. She stayed at our home and took great care of everything. Harley seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. I would highly recommend Holly.”

About: I have rescued two senior, nine year old, brother dogs in 2019, and they are absolutely thriving. I have also taken in a sixteen year old cat from my grandfather, and I currently live with three disabled cats. I am currently working on selling some things online, which means my schedule is completely flexible and lets me go out and take care of what I need to do, including taking care of pets! I quadruple check that all doors are closed, that there is plenty of water and food available, checking for any messes or hazards like yarn, magnets, reachable food containers, and I ALWAYS use a leash when necessary.

“This is my second time booking with Isabella and she was fabulous! I got regular pictures and updates of my dog and I knew she was in great hands, which made leaving a little bit easier!”



“Samm house sat our 3 pups for 5 days! One of our pups is a senior dog with special needs that requires drops and gel in his eyes everyday/night. All 3 pups were very well taken care of and Samm was such a sweet house guest!”



“It’s always daunting having to find someone take care of your fur babies. I was so happy to have had Lilly be so helpful in keeping our girls safe, loved and well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be using her to help us out again. Thanks Lilly! ??”


About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. My mom and I foster bottle-fed kittens—even those as young as one day old. Since I was 16, I’ve been house-sitting dogs, and I’ve even helped a dog through two births and assisted in raising the puppies. I have also house sat animals such as ferrets, bunnies, and ducks so if you have any other animals that need checked on just let me know. Spending time with animals and caring for them brings me so much joy. I am currently in school and working part-time. While I am busy my work shifts are only 4 hours and a lot of my school is online. This makes my schedule very flexible. I care for all pets as if they are my own. I enjoy playing with them and often bring them places with me. Though, if you do not want me to take your pet with me I will not.

About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

About: I have been around animals, exotic and domestic, since I was taken home in the carrier. Animals are my passion and there’s no animal that doesn’t need loved! I am a first responder with no set schedule, so I would like to spend my free time with animals and helping people out if they are needed. I couldn’t think of a better way to help out! I am very flexible on my off days and would be willing to go above and beyond for your pet. I understand some pets require certain things that may be different or difficult, but I would be absolutely willing to work through that! Walking dogs, doing litter boxes, playing fetch, and giving attention are all my specialties!

“It was such a relief to have Aidan caring for my dogs at my house while I was gone on my 8 day vacation. My pups are 14 and 11 years old and have special dietary and medical needs and he was able to keep them well fed, medicated and happy! This was the first time in their whole lives that I didn't have friends or family available to watch them, but I didn't have to worry as Aidan sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. If I am in this situation again Aidan will be the first person I reach out to!”


About: I have taken care of animals for a long time. My friends and family rely on me to feed, walk, give medicine, etc. their pets. I also have experience with caring for horses, fish, birds, reptiles not just dogs and cats. I have taken care of rabbits, mini pigs, guinea pigs as well. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your pets. I do attend college online, so there are a few hours I am busy. The benefit of me staying at the client's house is that their pet(s) will be more comfortable in a familiar surroundings. The pet(s) won't be stressed out by being in unfamiliar places and around unfamiliar animals.

“Marcy was great she stepped up at the last minute when someone cancel at the last minute. My dog is on meds every eight hours so it was important to have someone stay with her and Marcy was dependable. I was able to relax and enjoy a few days away. I was comfortable with her and didn't feel the need to check up on her constantly. I will use her services again and highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’ve handled puppies full of energy, senior dogs needing extra care, and pets with unique needs. Being around animals makes me happiest, and I treat every dog I care for like part of my family. I’m 20 years old and currently on summer break from college, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and play they need! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and most weekdays—especially after 2pm. Whether it’s fetch, cuddle time, or just being a calm companion, I’ll be there! I live on a quiet farm with plenty of open land for dogs to enjoy, and we’re not near any busy roads. I always introduce dogs slowly and mindfully to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions your dog needs, including crate training, meds, feeding routines, or anything else that keeps them happy and healthy.
