About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Maureen is incredible!! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was so kind and sent tons of photos and videos as well as gave detailed updates each day! I feel so lucky to have come across Maureen on here- she will be our first choice for any future needs!”

“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”


“Susan has done a phenomenal job helping us take care of our new puppy! She is timely, professional, and truly cares about animals. She provides detailed daily updates and has been flexible with our needs. Plus, our dog loves his visits with her too! I highly recommend Susan if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy caretaker.”

About: Hi! My name is Elisheba, along with being a mother to 3 kids, I am also a lover of all things furry and cute. I have been caring for dogs my entire life and have owned American Bulldogs, Boerboels and Frienchies. I frequently dog sit for my friend's furry kids while they are away. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as energy levels. I am a laid back person myself, but my children sure do a great job at keeping pups active and entertained. I consider myself an experienced puppy snuggler but I love going on walks and venturing to local dog parks. I understand that your dog is a member of your family and I will make sure they feel like they are a member of mine!

“I have booked Eric two times to walk Murdoch and he has been great. Speedy communication, very nice and courteous and most importantly my dog likes him. I will continue to book for walks for Murdoch.”

About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being
“Megan was incredible! Super responsive and so nice! She helped me out big time and even helped me out when Winston had an accident inside. She made me so comfortable and know my pup was well taken care of I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Siri is great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and from the moment my dog met her, it was easy to see she understands and cares for animals. My dog can be shy with new people, but Siri has this calm confidence, and they connected immediately. Every walk was on time, with detailed updates and photos that gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting good care and happy. It’s good day when you find someone who treats your pet like their own, Siri is one of those special people. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and competent person to care for your pet.”

“Wonderful dog walker. She is honest and does her best to take care of your dogs. You literally can’t go wrong with Anna. She works hard and puts all her love into taking care of our doggos. I am new to Cincinnati and it’s great to find someone I can trust to come to my house and take care of my best friend like family.”
