“Rachel was the best house sitter we've had from Rover so far, and that's saying a lot, because we've had many good and a couple great sitters. Her response time and demeanor were fantastic. She did an additional meet and greet for our German Shepherd to become familiar with her. She was flexible for our meeting times and prompt for all our appointments. For the actual sitting, she gave us a heads up on her availability. Also, we had a long list of requests that she was able to accommodate, including care for our garden. She sent plenty of photos and updates of our animals both having fun and relaxing. We couldn't ask for more.”


“This was our first experience hiring a pet sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased with Jessalyn! Our pets were very well taken care of! We have already scheduled with her for next month. Thanks, Jessalyn!”

About: Hi there! My name is Steven Santiago and I’m 26 years old. I’ve taken care and owned dogs for as long as I can think. I grew up in a house surrounded by a Chihuahua, Rottweiler and a bunny. I now own a 2 year old Bernese and a 1 year old Chihuahua and they be more than happy to have company! At the current moment, I am almost available every day to watch your dog. I work from home with the exception of two days a week. My job is also pretty flexible of where I work so I can sit at your house as well. I live in a 1200 sq feet apartment in a very safe community in Colerain. Depending on your dog, I’d be more than happy to incorporate walks, dog park visits and etc. to ensure your dog feels like home and gets everything they need. I’m currently using a hybrid schedule with two days in office. Ideally, these days are Tuesday and Wednesday but can work around to meet your needs. The safety of your dog is one of my top priorities. While I do not have a fence, your dog will never leave my place unleashed.

“Emiley did a great job watching my cat Alex while I was out of town. She asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what I needed and then let me what she was able to do within her schedule. We worked out plan that was good for both of us. She kept in contact and gave daily updates while she was watching Alex.”

I aim to ensure your dog is happy and that you don’t have to worry while you’re away from them ❤️ 🐶 I have a full time hybrid position working normal business hours.

“Angela stayed with our reactive pup this weekend and was amazing! She communicated with me throughout the weekend and sent photos which helped ease any worries. I knew our girl was in great hands and I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Angela!!!”


“Don’t let her being new-ish to the platform deter you, she is great and went above and beyond, staying longer and coming more often than every other caregiver we have had. She followed very specific directions to a T, including complex medication. We will be hiring her again”


About: I currently have a dog sitting business around my home Lawrenceburg Indiana! I have been dog sitting for 5 years and I have worked at a doggy daycare for over three years. I currently have one job! My shift usually ranges from 5-8 hours! So if your fur babies are used to 8 hours I’d love to help! I will treat your babies like my own animals! I consider my dogs my children and I love them to death. I constantly do update and send pictures!


About: You know when you walk by a dog, he starts walking towards you, trying to drag their owner towards you, and you know he just wants to say hello and be pet? My thought process is the same as the dogs every time I pass one. Nine times out of ten I will stop, ask the owner if it's alright to pet their dog, then sit and chat with them and love on the dog for a while. (And I only chat to pet the dog longer). All my life I have heard many cases of, "Don't touch my cat or he'll scratch you" or "Watch out for the dog, he growls at everyone" and before my visit is over I have the cat in my lap and the dog following me where ever I go. My fiancée calls me Dr. Doolittle.

About: I've grown up taking care of dogs! My parents had a Great Pyrenees and a beagle that I took care of growing up. I've dealt with all sizes of dogs! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of margin in my schedule to take care of your fur babies! Whether walking them or checking in on them, I can be available! I will work diligently to keep my word on how many times I have promised to check on your pet or to take them on walks or whatever they may need!

About: I have had dogs my whole life, I strive to make all animals’ lives better. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity. I am currently preparing to start grooming school this year! (I also have quite a bit of experience with houseplants!) I work night shift (6pm - 4:30am) so it can be difficult but I make pet care a priority. I make sure to spend as much time outside as possible doing a mix of basic training and puzzles. I live on a farm with an open field and one semi-reactive dog (Which would be put in the house to prevent accidents). While outside I take my dog for walks around the field so she can sniff and dig as much as she would like. I also do snuffle mats/dog puzzles

About: I graduated from the Veterinary Assisting program at Diamond Oaks in 2018. I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats/dogs/small animals/reptiles, as well as 2 years caring for farm animals. I am able to administer medication to animals of all sizes. I own 3 dogs, a rabbit, a bearded dragon, 4 leopard geckos, an iguana, 7 chickens and a cat! My pets are one of my main priorities and yours will be too. I provide top notch care and have many years of experience caring for pets. Our pets are used to having a human around them daily. They are VERY spoiled. My pets are family and yours will be treated as such too ❤️

I appreciate the peace of mind knowing Tucker is well taken care of and loved by Natalie!”

Ron H.
“Ron and I were roommates for several years. Ron had a pittie and I owned a French Mastiff. Through the years of living under the same roof and both of us owning dogs, I have true first hand, day to day knowledge of just how amazing Ron is with dogs. Ron's dog Loki had possibly an allergy of some kind and I would see Ron giving Loki his meds like clock work. Ron always fed Loki quality dog food. Loki never lacked for love, attention, and was well behaved due to Ron being so diligent with him. Kind and caring. Ron earned my trust immediately and I would leave my Mastiff, Aubrey in his care. I NEVER left my Aubrey with anyone, ever. Aubrey adored him. Loki adored him. Ron was attentive to every tiny thing about Loki (and Aubrey) and so when he spotted a tiny lump on Loki, to the vets they went. Loki had cancer and he didn't waste one minute to have it removed. Ron was extremely vigilant watching over Loki (although, he obviously always did) and if there were any question or doubt, off to the vets he would go. I could not name one single person who I would trust more with my dog than Ron. Ron loves dogs with a passion that you only see in a handful of people.”


Sydney W.
“I wrote one last week. Sydney takes care of any animal around her. She also plants sunflower seeds to feed birds. She's an amazing, caring provider for animals.”


Taylor B.
“Taylor has been taking care of our animals for some time. She is dependable, caring and flexible. She follows all directions that I leave for her. She is very responsible and if an issue arises she has contacted me for instructions on what I would like to do. I really appreciate that she contacts me when something other than the normal happens.”


Anastasia M.
“Ana is a complete animal lover. I have seen how Ana cares for her own animals/reptiles and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a petsitter! She was great with our cat and leopard geckos! Not to mention how many pets she has herself. All in all, Ana is a great caregiver for all pets and would do a fantastic job with any animal!”
