“Gabby was great with our dog, she took great care of him and our house! The house was spotless on our return, and our normally anxious dog seemed as happy as usual which was a relief for us. She was very quick with communicating, we would definitely have Gabby sit for us again.”


“Alecia was great. We received daily updates with pictures. Lots of walks and cuddles, and we felt the animals were in great hands. Came home to a clean house. Would fully recommend.”

“Another great stay with Elizabeth! Our boys and house were well cared for during our one week vacation. When we left one of our dogs had nervous poops but she watched him and let us know everything returned to normal in 48 hours. That's a relief when you're not there to see for yourself and care for your dog. She's very thoughtful with feedback about the dogs and takes great pictures of them too! We'll definitely hire her again.”

“Patrice was fantastic housesitting for our elderly dog and young pup for a week. They had great care and Patrice kept us well-informed when one of the dogs didn’t seem to feel well for a day or so. It was a great comfort to have someone who cares so much about animals and their well-being looking after the dogs while we were away!”

“Suzanne was a wonderful sitter! Patches got to play and be exercised while i was at an out of town workshop! He loved his sitter and I know she cared for him while I was away. She sent fun action photos of him playing! Arrives on time always. Will have her again, Jane H.”

“Crystal spent 5 days watching our dog and cat in our home and went above and beyond. Our girls are a little high maintenance and she made sure they were well taken care for, maybe even better than we do! She gave us updates daily with pictures and we could tell they were comfortable with her. She took our dog on walks daily (which wasn’t required) and snuggled with our girls often. She left our house cleaner than how we left it. We will definitely be booking with Crystal again. Highly recommend!”

“Megan and Lee are awesome! It was so lovely getting to do a meet and greet before we left on our trip. They took wonderful care of the pets and I really enjoyed getting photos of the happy animals while we were away.”

“Highly recommend! Kristin was fantastic with our dogs. She is easy to communicate with, very experienced and loving with large rescue dogs, and handled our home and pups with great care. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alli is amazing, she accommodated our last minute travel plans and cared for our animals like they were her own. She took awesome care of the house and asks questions to make sure she takes quality care of your babies.”


“Eric was incredible. He accepted our last minute request and came over with a great attitude and was very professional. And our dog LOVED him, we could tell right away that Eric is a dog person. Great experience with Eric, would definitely hire again!”

“Naika was incredible. Showed up with very short notice, had a great attitude and was so good with our dog. She is kind, professional, competent, and showed up on time. We will definitely hire her again and recommend her highly as well!”

“Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!”

“Rowan did a great job with the pup and the house dispite some crazy weather conditions. The dog was happy and the house was organized when I returned. She was great at communicating and sending updates when I was away.”

“We loved having Andrea stay with our 2 cats and dog while we were out of town. Andrea was very communicative and we could tell from all the pictures that they warmed up to Andrea very quickly. Thank you so much for a couple of stress free days!!”

“Excellent Dogsitter-watched our two dogs in our home. Very responsive and sent updates regarding the dogs while we were away. Made sure the dogs got plenty of exercise. Will be a repeat customer!”

“Jessalyn was AMAZING. She was so thorough in taking notes in our meet and greet, and went out of her way to make our dog comfortable without forcing any interaction. She sent regular updates and adorable pictures, and we felt so good knowing Beanie was having a good time. Our dog even ate the first day Jessalyn was there, which isn’t typical when we aren’t home. Knowing she had experience with reactive dogs was also a huge relief. She is an incredible find, and anyone would be fortunate to book her to care for their pets! We have already rebooked!”

“Alex is a fantastic pet sitter. The instructions for my senior cat can be a bit complicated - Alex took care of her and our golden retriever so well. Highly recommend. She left our house the way we left it, was very communicative, and trustworthy person.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for 11 years, my husband and I love them and have two amazing dogs ourselves our home is safe and wonderful for your pets that we treat with kindness and attention. I love to update you everyday with a picture of your lovely doggo! My husband and I both work from home and if we do leave it's only for 1-2 hours at a time. We have a great backyard but we typically go to dog parks and 20-30 min walks daily. We have two friendly dogs who are 25lbs each, we have a great yard, a dog park down the street, and we love talking evening walks if the weather is nice. Our morning routine is awake by 645-7:30 the pups go outside for potty, then get fed their breakfast. After that we go on a 20-30 min walk, come home for nap time and treats.Potty breaks every 2-4 hours and plenty of water. Dinner time is at 5:30pm/6pm & bedtime is between 8:30pm-11pm. If your dog needs more care than this we would love to accommodate them! Our house is very pet friendly we have a great fenced yard and our front porch is gated with a baby gate for if we ever have a issues with pups that want to explore.
“Katie was fantastic! Our fur babies were well taken care of and seemed tired out from their play times with Katie! Thank you so much! We'll be contacting Katie next time we need someone to look after our two trouble makers! 💚”

We had an excellent experience with Elizabeth as our house sitter! She took wonderful care of our two dogs (and fish) while we were away for a long weekend, giving us complete peace of mind. Despite our last minute request, she was flexible, reliable, and quick to help, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that our pets were well cared for and loved while we were gone. We are sad to see her leave the Cincinnati area, but we have no doubt she will be just as successful and appreciated in her new community. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 5 stars all around!

Reilly was very good with our three Shelties making them feel comfortable with her right away. She was prompt and reliable and followed the instructions for our dogs’ meds and feeding schedules just like we asked her to. We appreciated her quick responses to our checking in on how things were going, she even sent pics of our pups. It was very nice!

My 10 night overseas trip left Winnie at home alone with a dog sitter for the first time. She’s cautious and lacks confidence, so I was pretty concerned. Katherine communicated daily, sending pictures and updates which really eased my worries. She is very responsible, reliable, and kind. Katherine loved my girl as if she was her own, even getting Winnie to sleep with her at night! I highly recommend Katherine as a dog sitter and hope she will be available the next time I travel.
