Barks to Meows Pet Sitting

07/04/2026

Happy 4th of July, USA! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸Happy 250th!!
Can't believe we get to celebrate a milestone like this. Hope your day is full of good food, good company, and lots of love.
If your pup is one of the many who struggles with the fireworks tonight, we see you — a quiet room, some calming music, and extra snuggles can go a long way. 💛
Today, the team gets to do something pretty special — spend the holiday loving on adorable pets while their families enjoy time with theirs. Honestly, that's why we do this. 🐾
We're so thankful for this little corner of Ohio, for the pets we get to love on every day, and for the community that's helped Barks to Meows grow into what it is today. Wouldn't trade Conneaut for anywhere else.
Happy 4th, everyone! Hug your people (and your pets) a little extra today. 🇺🇸🐾

☀️ Heat Waves & Grooming Risks ☀️

⚠️Please respond to messages and texts this week, if we need to reschedule. I will be keeping an eye on temps and will let you know if I feel it is unsafe.
I will personally contact you.
Also, if you feel you would like to reschedule please reach out ASAP

I know many owners are looking to get their dogs groomed during this hot weather, but I want to explain why severe heat can make a full groom more risky than people realise.

A grooming appointment isn't just a haircut. It involves travelling to the salon, being handled, bathing, drying, standing for long periods, and sometimes dealing with situations that can be stressful for the dog. During a heat wave, all of these things can put extra strain on a dog's body.

Many dogs arrive already hot, panting heavily, or stressed from the journey. Once a dog starts struggling to regulate their temperature, the risk of heat exhaustion can increase very quickly.

My first responsibility is your dog's welfare and safety. If I feel a dog is showing signs of heat stress, dehydration, or is simply not coping with the temperature, I may need to modify the groom, stop the appointment, or recommend rescheduling.

I also want to remind owners that shaving a coat is not always the answer. Many double-coated breeds rely on their coat to help regulate temperature and protect them from the sun. Removing it can sometimes do more harm than good.

Please help to keep your pets safe by:

🐾 Walk your dog during the coolest parts of the day, ideally before 8:00am.

🐾 Ensure they always have access to plenty of fresh, clean water.

🐾 Keep pets in the coolest room of the house with good ventilation and airflow.

🐾 Provide plenty of shade if they need to be outside for short periods.

🐾 Avoid hot pavements, artificial grass, and other surfaces that can burn paws.

🐾 Understand that adjustments to your dog's groom may be necessary to protect their health and welfare during extreme temperatures.

Every owner wants their dog looking and feeling their best, but in extreme temperatures, welfare must take priority over appearance.

Thank you for your understanding and for putting your pet first,

Stephanie 🩵

Ever wonder how Barks to Meows got started? 🐾💛
It actually began with my daughter. Back in 2019 she was just 13 and wanted to earn a little extra money over the summer, so she started walking neighborhood dogs and checking in on cats. Word spread fast — turns out people really needed someone they could trust with their pets!
But when she got to high school and got busy with sports and making memories, I couldn't bear to leave all those families without care... so I stepped in. And what started as a summer job for my daughter became my full-time passion. 💛

Seven years later, Barks to Meows has grown into a whole team of certified, insured, animal-loving professionals serving families all across Ashtabula County — and I still love it just as much as day one.
We come right to your home so your pets stay comfortable in their own space. No boarding, no kennels — just real, loving care and a photo update after every single visit.
If you've been looking for someone you can truly trust with your fur babies this summer, we'd love to meet you. 🐶🐱

*Hiring Jefferson/Roaming Shores area*
This one is for a very specific kind of person. 💛
Not everyone is cut out for this work — and that's okay. But if you're the kind of person who notices when an animal is anxious before anyone else does... if you take your responsibilities seriously even when no one is watching... if you show up rain or shine because you know a pet is counting on you — we might be looking for you.
Barks to Meows Pet Sitting LLC is growing and we're looking for a pet sitter and dog walker in the Jefferson / Roaming Shores area to join our team.
This isn't a casual gig. This is a real position with real responsibility — you'll be entering people's homes, caring for animals they love more than anything, and making judgment calls on your own. That takes someone with genuine heart AND a good head on their shoulders.
What this looks like:

🐾 Drop-in visits — feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and real connection

🐶 Dog walks in their own neighborhood

📸 Photo updates and visit reports after every visit

💛 Being the most important part of a pet's day while their family is away
What we're looking for:

✅ A deep, genuine love for animals — not just "I like dogs"

✅ Reliability and follow-through — pets can't reschedule

✅ Common sense and calm decision making

✅ Someone who takes pride in doing things right

✅ Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

✅ Ability to pass a background check

✅ Located in or near Jefferson / Roaming Shores
We are a locally owned, fully insured, double certified professional pet sitting company trusted by Ashtabula County families since 2019. We don't just hire warm bodies — we bring on people who care as deeply as we do.
If that sounds like you — we'd love to meet you. 💛

Meet Misha! 😍🐾
This gorgeous Mini-Bernedoodle visited the Pymatuning area with her family for their 45th anniversary — and we were so honored to be called on to help!
Her mom shared the most beautiful words about her experience with Barks to Meows:

"My husband and I were renting an Air BNB in the Pymatuning area for our 45th anniversary. Misha, our Mini-Bernadoodle joined us on vacation. There were a couple days she couldn't be with us all day. Barks to Meows to the Rescue!! They provided a complimentary meet and greet and made sure Misha wasn't alone for more than a few hours! Their care was above and beyond a potty break and feeding! Misha got a refreshing walk, a time of affection and assurance! She loved these ladies immediately and I could not have asked for any more perfect or loving care! After each visit I received a report with photos. This was especially comforting to me, as I always feel sad to leave her alone."

This is exactly why we do what we do. 💛 Whether you're local or just visiting Ashtabula County — we've got your fur babies covered!
