“Macy is AMAZING!! That is not an exaggeration either, I am forever grateful for her and the time she spent with my babies. She was attentive and asked questions, she really knows what she is doing when it comes to taking care of cats and I love that she is experienced even with shy ones. Thank you so much for your help and time, I will definitely be sure to keep you around.”


“Brad was awesome! Came and checked on our kitties every day we were gone and did exactly what I asked of him. Super communicative and sent lots of photos. Would definitely book with him again.”


“WOW! If you’re looking for the best of the best, look no further! Ms. Lashonna is GREAT! EXTRAORDINARY! EXCEPTIONAL! OUTSTANDING! Too much? I think not! She is literally that good!!!! I was out of town for 6 days and the thought of leaving my cats alone caused my anxiety to sky rocket! Mind you, it’s almost always high, but this time I’m talking like 100/10! Once I got the first update on how my cats were doing, my anxiety drastically dropped and I was able to enjoy my vacation. Ms. Lashonna sent pictures every day, with the date & time, of not only my cats but the litter boxes, food bowls, and water bowls. My family and I looked forward to her check-in reports every day! AND GET THIS! She goes to infinity and beyond like Buzz Lightyear! My oldest cat was quite upset I was gone and left some presents... Ms. Lashonna cleaned them up and even vacuumed! I mean, people, WHY EVEN LOOK FOR ANOTHER PERSON?! (Unless she’s booked up...). Also, she’s a cat whisperer or something. My oldest cat does not like strangers but she was able to get him out of his shell! I will be recommending Ms. Lashonna to everyone I know who has an animal!! I can’t thank you enough, Ms. Lashonna but thank you!”


“Will is so kind and very organized. Our dogs were quick to be his friend. He stayed in touch and kept us informed throughout. We are very lucky to have found him. He is respectful and thoughtful! Can’t recommend enough”


“Loved how she went above and beyond! arrived early which worked for us and made sure the cats were well taken care of. Loved she was able to meet our cats’ daily schedule with zero issues. Hung around and gave them affection and they clearly liked her as well. Would hire again with no second thoughts.”


“Erin was the best carer for my pets! When i got back the apartment was just as clean as I left it and the babies were happy. Erin took pictures of them daily and even got the shy boy to come out for pets, something pretty rare. I wish I could pay more because I am so please with how she took care of my cats!”


“Joanna was amazing with our last minute booking. She spent time getting to know our cat, which was so great! She is very professional and will ensure that your animal is well taken care of. Thank you Joanna!”


“Hunter was a wonderful sitter for my 2 cats and my Guinea pig over a weekend. She communicated well and followed all instructions. I’ve actually already booked with her again! Would highly recommend.”


About: My name is Anna, and I'm an avid animal lover. I grew up with pets my entire childhood, and I now have my own cats and a dog! I've walked, fed, and done daily pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. I have worked with many different dogs, cats, and fish. I work a 9 - 5 on weekdays, so I can check on or walk your pet in the mornings or evenings. I’m pretty flexible on weekends! I make pet care my #1 priority! I'm used to waking up early, cleaning up vomit, and the occasional scratch or bite. I also love spoiling all pets with special treats, enrichment games, and lots of play-time. I only want the best for you and your pet. My line of communication is always open. I'll care for your pet like my own.

“Sandy did a great job! Took plenty of pictures, and cleaned a little bit too so I didn't come home to a mess to clean up. I missed my babies and she gave them plenty of love and scratches while I was away.”


“Megan took great care of our cats while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was great on communicating and updating me. Would love to have her pet sit again for us!”


“Jenna was fantastic. One of my kitties requires subcutaneous fluids and Jenna hadn't done them in awhile but did them very well. My kitty alsl requires a lot of daily meds amd care and Jenna followed the instructions set out perfectly and I could tell the kitties were well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you Jenna!”


“Wow! Isabel blew me away with her professionalism, attention to detail, and by just generally going above and beyond. She provided excellent notes from her visits and photos of my kitties. It was also clear that my cats came to trust her quickly as she took the time to play with them and give them treats in addition to their basic care. I would highly recommend Isabel as a pet sitter and will absolutely be booking her again the next time I am out of town. Thank you, Isabel! 😸😸😸”


About: I provide patient, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs — from gentle support for seniors to positive, consistent training for puppies. With reliable communication and genuine love for animals, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and at home. I am available in both Dayton and Cincinnati depending on the time. As a full-time federal employee, I bring the same reliability and responsibility to pet care. I’m available evenings and weekends to give pets the love, attention, and gentle care they deserve — whether it’s walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their familiar routine — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable, while giving them plenty of love and attention so they feel secure while you’re away.

About: I have had animals in my house my entire life, which meant I had to take them for walks, clean them, and play with them, and I have always loved it. I am working full time, so I can take them on walks in the afternoon during the week. On weekends, however, I can spend a lot more time with them. I love taking long walks and I am very patient, especially when it comes to pets. That being said, I can’t wait to meet yours!

“Annika was absolutely wonderful. She sent us tons of pictures and was great with our cats. She quickly endeared herself to our exceptionally scaredy cat and you could see in all the pictures how much attention and affection they got. Annika communicated super well and went above and beyond to ensure all of their needs were met. She will now be our first call when we need someone to watch our critters. Cannot say enough good things about her.”


About: Growing up in a household that was always welcoming dogs and cats alike, I have experience with taking care of dogs of many different sizes and breeds. I always make sure that every dog I am helping take care of is treated with the same love and care that I would give my dogs at home. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family prior to rover and have experience with walking, feeding, and making sure all dogs receive an appropriate amount of exercise and playtime. I am currently working full time, but have a very flexible schedule. I am available most mornings before work, week nights, weekends, holidays, and will have varying weekday availability. I live in a three story townhouse, with a large fenced in backyard with plenty of open space. I live within walking distance to Wheeler Dog Park which, which makes for a great walk and play date!
