Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly

About: Over the past twenty years I have cared for and lived with dogs of various ages, sizes and breeds, and needs including puppies and senior dogs. I am currently attending U of M full time online, so my schedule is very open to attend to your pets needs, whatever they may be. I am no stranger to house sitting and always treat my hosts home with the utmost respect. A majority of my time is spent on schoolwork, so I am always available to give your pet some attention.

About: I have always loved animals ever since I was a child. As soon as I was old enough to do so, I began taking care of my neighbors' cats and dogs when they would leave for vacation or work trips, in addition to my own dog. From there, I began volunteering at the League for Animal Welfare, a no-kill shelter in Ohio. I worked with countless dogs and cats to help train, socialize, and exercise them, and otherwise prepare them for adoption into a forever home. I am responsible, reliable, and dedicated to keeping all pets safe and happy. After owning a large golden retriever and caring for numerous dogs both larger and smaller, I am comfortable and experienced with all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. Above all, I love animals, and will go above and beyond to make sure that your pet(s) are safe, healthy, and happy.

About: I understand how some animals need special care. I have a 14 year old cat that has an autoimmune disease. When he is fed, there is a detailed list of thing’s that must go into his food. I have also cared for a senior cat that needed to eat at very specific times because he was so thin. Every animal is different and as owners we know what they need to have their best life. I do my best to treat each pet just as their owners treat them. I work part time right now and the only days I am not completely available are Tuesdays and Thursday. I can care for your pet Monday and Wednesday anytime and Friday through Sundays anytime if your animals are alright with children because I have a 9 year old son. I won’t be able to bring your pet to my home because I have multiple cats that would be disturbed. I however can care for them at your house.

Janice is a must if you have a puppy. We have a very energetic puppy that can be hard to walk, but Janice does the best job walking him. She’s a dog expert and shows our little guy so much love and kindness. She’s also very quick to respond, always gives wonderful updates, and is timely. The best.

Tusk was so excited to go on a run / walk with Eric. The minute Eric pulled into the parking lot, Tusk met him at the door, ready to start his walk. Eric and Tusk ran and walked. Tusk came home, happily tired. Eric kept me updated with photos and video. I highly recommend Eric. This was their first walk together. They immediately bonded. I was so relieved.

About: I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I love to get to know each individual animal’s personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, pets, feedings, or caring from a distance, I’m here for it all! I have a pretty flexible and changing schedule, mostly working afternoons. I’d love to build the rest of my schedule around your pet’s needs. I love morning walks or check ins, but im always willing to communicate to find the schedule that works best for me, you, and your pet! I aim to respect you and your pet’s environment as much as possible. I’d love to have instructions on how to best care for your pet and anything I’d need to know about your pet or home.

About: My family regularly fostered pets throughout my childhood, and I was heavily engaged in their care and training. Since I moved away from home, I am always first in line to dog sit for my friends and family! I currently work evenings most week days, so I am able to be present during the typical work day! I am unavailable for boarding, but will gladly stay with pets or drop by and visit/walk during the day! I am happy to spend time with the pet in their own environment, or take them out on walks or to parks! If the pet prefers to be engaged with I love to play, or if they just need a sitter while they roam the house I can occupy myself with a book!

Izzy is completely trustworthy, reliable, and caring. She gave my dog (and surprise cat), lots of attention and affection. She even worked on some dog training in my absence, which was totally unexpected. I will absolutely ask for her help again .
