“Great communication and really goes above and beyond. My dogs made a mess of their pen and she cleaned it up so they didn’t eat anything they shouldn’t.”


4. Augusta F.

“Augusta was great! Her communication before the visit and during was great; friendly and responsive. She was patient with our pup and seemed to really care about giving him some quality time. I will definitely book her again when we need someone!”


5. Shelley G.

“Shelley was great with my dog, adjusting the routine based on his needs/wants and even addressing some skin irritation she discovered during the week which was a stress relief for both my pup and myself! Dependable and trustworthy. Would highly recommend.”


6. Monica V.

“Monica was outstanding. She was okay with our last-minute request and she was able to accommodate our requests. Monica also provided great pics and kept us informed. We will definitely use her again to watch Sadie.”


7. KASI T.
“Kasi is wonderful to her dogs. Shes truly the best dog mama around! Her dogs are part of her family. They go on outings and frequently her dogs rule their camper and many Ohio campgrounds. Kasi is very in tune with dogs’ physical and emotional needs. Nothing gets past her! She is diligent in feeding and potty signs and schedules. I’m certain your dog will love her as much as I do!”


8. Taylie T.

“I was told by a family member 3 days prior to me leaving out of town that they could no longer help with my littles. I was a complete mess. I had no idea what I was going to do. I looked up Rover, never used it before. That is when I found Taylie. She was so sweet. She came to the house to meet myself, my family and my two little dogs. The two littles immediately loved her. She was perfect! She listened intently, she knew I was scared and a mess (because I told her 100 times). I now know I had nothing to worry about. She took such good care of my littles, I can’t thank her enough. She always took pictures, the pups were so happy, which of course makes me happy! They went for walks every day. She cleaned up messes in the house if there was any. She kept me updated all of the time. We will definitely continue to use Taylie!”


9. Tasha B.

“Tasha did an amazing job caring for our cats for the week! She made sure they felt loved and comfortable as well as keeping everything clean too. We were nervous to leave our girls, but Tasha sent so many sweet pictures and updates which made our trip much less stressful! We will definitely book with her again! :)”


10. Samantha C.

“Samantha was AMAZING!!! She gave our dogs love and even took them for a long walk while we were gone for the day. We came home to two happy dogs and could not be more thrilled! Will 100% be booking her again :)”


11. Kaylee D.
“Kaylee is an amazing person and cares so much about all animals! She has helped me with giving medications and taking care of my own pets. I have a lot of cats that’s need medical care daily and I trust her with all of my cats.”


12. zoey v.
“Ever since I have know zoey she has loved pets and animals and has had many of her own. She also worked at Pet Supplies Plus due to her passion. With this she has to constantly take care of all of the animals in the facility. She is actually staying at my house to watch my 3 dogs while my family is on vacation. My mom instantly thought of Zoey due to her love of animals, reliability, and how responsible she is.”


13. Alexandra J.
“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”


14. Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”


15. Nathan K.

“Always great! Dogs live him. Responds quickly!!”


16. Molly B.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets and wildlife, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, wildlife rehabilitator, and dedicated animal lover. From horses and dogs to reptiles and backyard livestock and poultry, I’m passionate about providing reliable, compassionate care. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved animals in someone else’s hands, and I strive to give you peace of mind, knowing they’re safe, happy, and loved. With multiple part-time jobs, I have the flexibility to offer reliable and attentive pet care. My varied schedule allows me to accommodate different needs, whether it’s daytime walks, evening visits, or overnight stays if need be. I’m committed to providing your pets with the time, care, and attention they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. When caring for your pets in your home, I strive to maintain their normal routines and provide a calm, familiar environment. Whether it’s keeping up with their feeding schedule, favorite playtime activities, or giving them extra snuggles, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m also attentive to home details—keeping things tidy, respecting your space, and ensuring your pets feel safe and comfortable until you return. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets and home are in caring, reliable hands.


17. Lillian W.

“Lilly cared for Buca in every way I asked. She made sure I had photos of Buca walking and eating her dinner which I appreciate. I appreciate her attention and care.”


18. Jeffrey B.
“Jay is extremely reliable and professional. He cares very much for all animals, and will follow through with behavioral training as well! He really understands how dogs think and act, and will make sure your pets receive the best care possible for their physical, emotional and social well-being.”




19. Abby K.


“Abby was great at taking care of my two cats! Her updates were thorough and she had no issues with meeting the needs of my cats. I will use her again in the future for sure!”


20. Rebecca R.
“I was nervous to have someone else handle my ~90lb pup that gets really excited to see humans and likes to jump up and kiss their face. He also pulls the leash if he sees other dogs/large trucks. We had Rebecca over for a meet and greet, and went over his commands/routine. Rebecca was a gem and a champ handling him. I was able to go out of town without worry and she sent pic updates which were really sweet. I'm excited to go out of town again at some point just to have her over so my dog can visit with her! Thank you Rebecca!”
