1. Melissa S.

“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”


2. Olivia H.

“Olivia was so sweet and attentive to our pup, you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She also communicates very well. She really helped us out on short notice and put me at ease. We would definitely trust Olivia to take care of our pets again in the future.”


3. Darya U.

“She communicated very well with me. She took great care of Hank and sent pics to me. She really went above and beyond. I will be using her again!”


4. Olivia S.

“Olivia was great! So nice and responsive! Also took adorable pics of my kittens.”


5. Bradley G.
“Bradley watched my dog (3yr, Staffy) for 3 weeks while I was on vacation in Thailand with my wife. My dog can be a ball of energy sometimes but Bradley was kindly able to play with him for endless amounts of time, and take him on many walks. He followed Hanks schedule to a T, and made sure he got everything he needed, even down to the cuddles. I, undoubtedly, recommend Bradley as the utmost kind and loving animal caregiver.”


6. Grace D.

“Grace was so great with all my animals, she says she's not much of a cat person, but my cat took to her almost immediately. My chickens loved the attention and all the treats. My fish were very happy for the food and my 2 dogs were so excited to see her when she showed up, they would greet her at the door and want all the attention! She was a great communicator to me, sending me tons of pics and videos of all my happy animals, she really relieved a lot of stress I had, since this was the first time leaving all of them to someone else. I totally recommend her and I will definitely use her again, she is the best!”


7. Katrina O.

“Katrina checked on my two cats while we were away on a 5 day trip and she was wonderful! She took great care of them and sent nice notes and photos that made us feel at peace.”


8. Taylor A.

“Taylor provided great (and funny) updates during her drop in visits with our cat. She was very fast at responding and even came over to get the keys before we left. Highly recommend Taylor!”


9. Rowan L.


“We had Rowan kitty sit for us again and could not be happier. It was so clear from the photos she posted and reports she gave that she and kitty got along fabulously. Rowan is kind and reliable. Highly highly recommend!”


10. Cara B.

“Cara is super sweet and friendly! Definitely will show your dog some love and make sure he’s well taken care of. We had a slight miscommunication but she made sure to take care of things and I appreciate her acknowledgment and immediate responsiveness. Would 10/10 recommend.”


11. Alexandru F.

“Alex was very prompt to respond to my request for a last-minute booking, took good care of my dog, sent detailed updates, and asked questions as needed. Alex was very professional in all aspects of communicating and completing visits.”


12. Angel B.
“Angel was a lifesaver! When our flight was unexpectedly cancelled and we had to stay an extra night on vacation, she stepped in to care for our two dogs with very little notice. She not only gave our pups plenty of love and attention, but also took them for a walk, even in the rain! We came home to happy dogs and a house that looked even better than when we left it. I highly recommend Angel for all your pet care needs, she truly goes above and beyond!”


13. Lauryn F.
“I can’t say enough great things about Lauryn and the care she provided for my pitbull, Onyx. She’s been amazing from the very beginning—reliable, responsible, and incredibly loving. Onyx, who’s now 3 years old, absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. Lauryn treated him like family, giving him not only the attention he needed but also the affection and structure that helped him feel safe and happy while I was away. She’s someone I fully trust in my home and with my dog, which speaks volumes. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Lauryn for any pet sitting opportunity. Your pets will be in the best hands.”


14. Tabby G.


“Tabby is absolutely wonderful. My pups and kitty had a lovely time with her. I could tell they were really comfortable while I was gone. She has watched them multiple times at this point and I will definitely be booking her for services again whenever I am headed out of town.”


15. Sophia J.
“Sophia is great with animals! She’s watched my dog countless times and I know my dog is always in good hands. She truly loves and cares for all animals, big or small!”


16. Maria F.

“I just started a new full time job and found Maria to take care of my puppy while I’m away. She has been the most amazing sitter for my sweet pup and knowing she was checking on him gave me so much peace of mind!”


17. Jawnie P.

“Jawnie took on a last minute reservation and was very responsive and prompt! She gave thorough updates and took very cute pictures of my boy 🥹”


18. Dana T.

“Dana took great care of our cat while we were away! She sent pictures and a detailed note everyday, which made us feel so much better! I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting.”

About: I've had dogs since I was little and currently help take care of four with my parents! I've taken care of dogs big and small as well as those with mobility issues. I'm currently a grad student as well as working full time at a school! I work 7:30-2:30 M-F as well as classes MW evenings until 6pm. I'd be available for dog sitting starting Friday nights and weekends, as well as Tuesday and Thursday nights if you're okay with my work schedule! My schedule shifts a lot because of school, so if there's something unavailable that you need, reach out and ask as there's a chance I could be open! I ensure all dogs are safe and cared for by ensuring there are no open containers or anything that could cause a safety hazard, as well as using a crate when necessary

About: I helped train our family French bulldog. I also have friends that are part of the 4paws service training program so I have learned a lot from helping them watch dogs. Before moving to Cincinnati, I used to do in-home care for my brother‘s dog very often. I have always had at least one animal in my house for my whole life. I am a full-time student at UC looking for part time work. Always open to coming and going in between classes or doing overnight housesitting! I’m not available to have animals in my apartment so I would be coming to you. I’m familiar with many different types of house rules whether it’s free range or crate trained, and will always make sure to follow your guidelines.
