“Sarah proved immediately she was going to be reliable and an excellent communicator. Our pup hit it off immediately with her and upon returning home, we could tell she had been left in great hands. We appreciate Sarah and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Mary and Nick were a wonderful team and took good care of my dog and home while I was away. Communication was excellent, many photos were shared, and I always had the sense that they were enjoying the time with him. I will not hesitate to ask them to help me in the future.”
“Lilly stayed with our 160 lb. pup for 3 nights and did a great job sticking to his routine which includes pills 2x a day, meals, walks, and giving specific treats at specific times. She sent photos of him every day, which helped put me at ease. I was thrilled to find Lilly as she has extensive vet experience, and our pup is prone to seizures. Fortunately, he had no episodes while we were away, so she did a great job keeping his anxiety levels down. I definitely recommend Lilly and will be contacting her again.”
“Kayla was great with my older dog. She made Sadie feel comfortable immediately and gained her trust to administer her needed eye medications. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“I booked Lori on short notice and so glad I did. She was super attentive to my dog and cat, communicated well with me throughout my travel, and paid careful attention to making them comfortable with her. Already have her booked for my next trip!”
About: I have loved animals since before I can remember and have grown to love them even more in my adulthood. You can depend on me to provide excellent care and exceptional service, giving you peace of mind that your pets are safe and happy while you are away or just in need of a helping hand! I understand animal behaviors, the specific questions you need to ask to comprehend the needs of each pet, and also have the skills + experience to handle pets that are not completely friendly or uncomfortable around people they don't know. I am of course willing to meet beforehand. Currently, I am looking for any opportunities to further my pet sitting experience! I also accept same-day bookings in the case you are in need of pet care as soon as possible. I have two cats of my own, they are turning three this year and they are the best part of my days. As for dogs, I have one Maltese/Shih-Tzu named Finn :-) He is going to be turning 5 in September. He is extremely sweet and loves a cuddle. I have pet-sat for my aunt who has 5 dogs throughout my whole life. Their house consists of 3 large dogs, one medium size dog, and a small dog. Therefore, I have the experience caring for a variety of breeds and animals of different personalities. I am willing to crate if needed and can accommodate for any special feeding requests!
“Konnie was so wonderful with my pups! She did a great job of keeping me updated on them and sending me pictures of them while I was away! Highly recommend!”
“We cannot put into words how grateful we are for Kaitlyn and her kind heart. While we were away our Oscar took a turn for the worst and Kaitlyn graciously took on the burden of taking him in to be evaluated. She stayed in constant communication with us and when we were told there was nothing else to be done, she face timed with us and allowed us to say our goodbyes. We could never thank her enough for what she did for us. We hope to have her watch our other two in the future.”
About: Animals have always been part of my life—from Dalmatians and a Great Dane to a sassy pet chicken. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even had lovebirds at one point! I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Working from home with a flexible schedule means I have lots of time to give your pets the care and attention they need, whenever you need help. Think of my home as your pet's fun, safe hangout! Working from home means endless cuddles and playtime, with trust and their well-being always my top priority.
“Julie was amazing!! She took great care of my cats and even made a special trip back to my house when needed. She took all stress away while I was on vacation and I could really enjoy my time away! My cats loved her and I will book with her again in the future if she’s available!!”
About: Over 10+ years of experience which includes feeding, grooming, and preserving an accessible residing space for pets. Also, providing health care, and creating a safe and relaxing environment. I’m currently available to work full-time. I will have to come to your house to take care of your pet. I’m available anytime Monday through Friday. I currently cannot have pets at my home. I will come to my client’s home and take care of their pet(s). I will always take protective measures when entering and leaving the home to ensure the safety of the home and the pet.
“Abby was an excellent dog sitter! She provided me lots of picture updates of what my dogs were up to. She was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Abby for your pet sitting needs.”
“Absolutely amazing. To say Jess went above and beyond would be an understatement. My oldest dog Ozzy is an anxious mess when I leave, for the first time ever, she was content for the entire duration of our trip (which was over a week). I got multiple updates during our time away, Jess takes beautiful photos that are honestly going to be treasured! All of my animals were happy and healthy when I returned, it was like we had never left. And my house was even cleaner upon my return! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jess to anyone and everyone. Incredibly sweet, thoughtful and caring. Thank you again, Jess!”
“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! ??”
“Chelsea is fantastic. She was so good with my knucklehead for the time she spent here. She was quite empathetic and caring for my doggo and a great caretaker for the house. 10/10 would certainly recommend.”
“Monica did a great job with our seven month old Great Dane. She cared for her while we were out of town for the week. We got regular updates, she remained in contact throughout the week, and provided great one on one time with our puppy.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our Yorkie, Hoagie. She watched him in our home over the New Year holiday. We especially liked her detailed daily updates and photos. The messages reassured us that Hoagie was happy while we were away and confirmed that he was adjusting to Rebecca as a trusted caregiver.”
“Tyler stayed at our house with our two dogs. He was easy to communicate with about scheduling and always responded quickly about how things were going while we were away.”
“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”
“Mark was so great w my pets!!! He followed the schedule to a T and made sure to pass along plenty of updates. I always get nervous about letting people into my home, but Mark proved to be nothing but professional and responsible! I’ll definitely be seeking him out again soon!”

11. William H.
“Alex has an extraordinary talent when interacting with animals. Alex has taken exceptional care of my pets. I owned two dogs whom I left in the care of Alex on several occasions. Immediately, Alex established a positive rapport with the dogs. Alex took the dogs on walks in Metroparks, to dog parks, as well as to the dog beach in Stow, OH. Alex is very responsible. He took the dogs to the groomer and to vet appoints. The dogs enjoyed spending time with Alex. Without reservation, I would highly recommend Alex as a pet caregiver.”
