“We felt very comfortable leaving our Bailey (and our home) in Madelyn’s care. She was communicative and respectful, we could not have asked for more. We thank you, Madelyn, for your competent and kind manner.”


“Christabel was great with my cats, and she was very communicative during my trip. I appreciated her ability to take my booking, even though it was last minute. I will definitely keep her in mind for future trips!”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Denise to care for my two Bernedoodle dogs, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Denise was incredibly attentive and ensured that my dogs were well-cared for and entertained throughout their stay. She followed all feeding and walking instructions meticulously and even went the extra mile to send me regular updates and photos. My dogs were happy and relaxed when I returned, a testament to the loving and professional care they received. I highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”


“Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.”


“Brittany was so great with our two pups! She did great at sending updates & communicating with us so we felt at east the whole time we were away! So thankful to have found someone to love on our dogs!”


About: I’ve worked in pet care for the past 3 years in addition to being a dog owner and lover for my entire life. Most of my experiences in pet care have been extended-stay overnight dog/house sitting. I am good with large, small, and disabled dogs as well as cats. I’m currently a full time student, but for a large portion of classes I’m able to do my work online which allows me to better work around the needs of a client. I treat both the client’s home and their pets with respect. Typically a client will leave me instructions for their pet that I follow to a tee. I’ll also provide updates periodically to the owner in the form of pictures, videos, and texts to assure them the instructions are being followed. This allows the owner to be sure of their pets’ safety and comfort without any guesswork.

“Maura was AMAZING!!!!!! We were gone for 11 nights and she treated our dogs like they were her own. She communicated and sent pics to keep us updated. I couldn’t have asked for more! She went above and beyond! Will be using her again!!!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My home is pet-friendly with a fenced yard and ensures a safe, comfortable environment for your dog. I’m currently on college break and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available with a 3 week notice anytime that works for you. I have a fenced yard for plenty of playtime, and I’ll make sure your pup gets regular walks for exercise. I’ll also clean up after them and ensure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.

“Megan was absolutely amazing kept me updated with texts and pictures while I was away. She also washed all towels and sheets she used while I was away so everything would be set when I got home. My dog can have aggression behavioral issues and Megan handled it perfectly.”


“Nikki was hands down the best sitter I have had for my pups. Nikki was kind, thoughtful, and commutative throughout the whole week long trip. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you Nikki for everything you did during your stay!”


About: I have owned, cared for and loved three dogs over the last 20+ years. I currently have a springer spaniel. My one dog lived with diabetes for two years when she was a senior. My springer has lots of dog friends and we travel with her. I walk 25,000 steps a day and would enjoy taking your dog with me. I am a true Ohioan and don't let the weather keep me from being outside. I have dog friends in my neighborhood because I genuinely love dogs. I am a retired teacher. I have my dog to take care of and the rest of my day is flexible. My wife is a teacher so I would like to keep similar hours 6 am to 5 pm. I would follow directions given to me by the owner and care for their dog with the same love, carefulness and responsibleness that I do for mine. I think my 35 years teaching middle school students helps me understand professionalism in any caregiver situation.

About: I have several years of cat and dog experience. I grew up with animals and have taken care of them from early ages all the way through senior ages. I love all animals like their my own and love taking care of them! I'm currently working full time. However, I have evenings, weekends and holiday's off. I am pretty flexible with my weekends and can accommodate you and your animals for any needs! I have lots of training in dog walking. I have a dog of my own who went through training as a puppy and I have always remembered my training with her when I deal with other people's animals.

“William did a great job watching my dog for a week while I was out of town. He came over and walked her and fed her. There wasn’t any sign that he’d even been over except for a note he left saying my dog was great! I will definitely be asking William again the next time I have to leave!”


About: I have experience caring for an elderly chihuahua and middle aged Aussie-doodle. Love animals and being outdoors with them! Excited to meet more pets! Thanks I am a summer nanny 7:15am to 5:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. When I’m not doing that, I work at Bob Evans, but brief shifts. I do not have the space to care for pets in my own home, but I have many years of experience watching children and keeping them safe in and outside of the home.

“Chyanna was super flexible after needing a sitter last minute. She was very polite and took good care of our pup while we were away. Our house was left exactly the way we left it and she communicated to us often during her stay. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog again!”
