About the Owner

Hey there! I’m Gloria Voelker, owner and operator of The Sitting Dog Pet care. Pets are family, and leaving your fur babies in someone else’s care can be a tough decision. That’s why I hope you’ll find my services to be exactly what you’re looking for. I continue building not only a stellar professional reputation in pet care and behavior, but bring you a breadth of animal care experience and knowledge. I utilize hands-on experience and knowledge earned through my Bachelors in Psychology and countless hours working alongside certified dog trainers.

Interacting with animals has always been a part of my life. My experience includes working at pet stores, dog daycares, and coordinating adoptions with an Ohio animal shelter. Additionally, I provided services on Rover for several years before branching off on my own.

As a teen, I was mentored in dog training and became a certified handler with Therapy Dog International. I have witnessed and implemented force-free, science-backed behavioral training methods and trust these for animals with which I work.

I hold additional experience with cats as well as exotics, including small animals, fish, and reptiles.

I hold in my heart several pets who have now crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but at home I have .3 cats: Hazel, Harlow, and Littles. I strive to ensure both my pets–and yours–are happy and healthy. It’s not just my passion, it’s what our pets deserve!
Thanks again for being here, and I look forward to treating your pets like my own.
