“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”


“Ronnie is such an amazing dog sitter! She came in and asked everything she could to get to know Duncan and even did a visit prior to our needed services! She went above and beyond to take care of Duncan and make sure he had everything he needed. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”


“I am so thankful to have had Kristi house sit and care for my fur babies, she kept them engaged the whole time to the point where my son's and I were joking how the dogs are going to want to live with Kristi. She not only played with them, worked on tricks with them but also loved on them and we received daily pictures and updates. She even cleaned!!!! She gardened and planted plants for me. All things that needed my attention and did not get until Kristi showed up. She even found and picked up glass that was in my backyard that the dirt had been throwing up from previous owners. She went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! She made me feel safe and comfortable that everything was and would be OK. We LOVE YOU KRISTY ?”


About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything

“10/10 recommend Rhiannon! My dogs were comfortable with her as soon as they met and I felt at ease leaving them with her. She sent photos of updates and I could see my dogs laying with her just like they do with us which is great to see and provided even more comfort. Will definitely be looking to book her again.”


“Kat did such an amazing job with all of our animals while we were out of town! She kept us up to date on everything and shared daily photos of the pets. She also kept our house very clean for us to come home to. She is very sweet with the animals and took such great care of them.”


About: since I was young, we’ve had dogs. matter of fact, there’s never been a time in my life we didn’t have a dog! i’ve had experience dog sitting for every kind of dog you can think of, size, strength, medical diagnosis’, you name it. i’m currently on the search for employment, so as of now, my schedule is completely open! Eventually i’ll be heading back to school, but the plan is to take online courses so as of now, there’s no restrictions. Safety is my number one priority. I have no problem following routine for your pups, even if they seem like odd requests. I have no problem completing any task that is asked of me.

“Rachel was amazing! This was a very last minute request and she accommodated and was very flexible. She took amazing care of my pup and kept me well informed and updated with photos, even though I didn't have service and kept getting them at weird times it was great seeing my baby boy and know he was doing good when I did. I would absolutely recommend and use Rachel again!!”


About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

“This was the first time I’ve ever had a dog/house sitter, but I knew it was the right thing for Ranger. Cyndi was great! Kept in touch. Left my home cleaner than when I left it. And I know Ranger was happy, safe and well taken care of. I’ll definitely feel comfortable with this service in the future and Cyndi for sure!”


About: Hello families! My name is Tanner. I am currently majoring in psychology at Youngstown State University. I graduated from Ursuline High School in 2022. I have much experience pet sitting for many neighbors and different families. I have experience administering medications to different pets and can follow schedules well. I can provide references and background clearances upon request. I am available for drop in visits and overnight stays for pets that might need a little extra love! Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am looking to be a pet sitter full time or drop ins Saturdays and Sundays. I am flexible with my schedule so we can work out any times needed I make sure they get lots of love, pets, and plenty of exercise or playtime but ultimately whatever the dog needs is what I will stick with.

About: Hi, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: I’ve taken care of animals, specially dogs since I was 5. I am also a licensed veterinary technician and on my way to become a veterinarian. I recently moved and I have plenty of time in taking care of dogs as I am studying from home. I am preparing for vet school I usually play with dogs in their free time while they don’t sleep. As I mentioned earlier I am studying from home and preparing for vet school.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I believe they are often misunderstood and approach their care from an empathetic strategy. I have no restrictions on age , breed or size. I also have experience with epilepsy and basic medical care. I work full-time and will be available after 4 pm most weekdays. I am able to work from home for part of the week so I am able to check in during the day and stay with your pet if arrangements are needed. I will give your pet the same care that I provide my own. I will provide check ins at the agreed upon interval. Respect any custom requests for visiting care that I can.

“Ashlee took on a two dog household for a week long stay as a dog and house sitter and did an amazing job. She was great at communicating before the stay and throughout the stay, and she could problem solve little things to not disturb me on my trip. Ashlee provided the dogs with exercise above what was asked, she cleaned up the house before she left (including the not so fun task of picking up poop from the yard!), and she kept my mind at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book!”

Ronnie is absolutely amazing! Ronnie came through for us in a pinch and provided exceptional care for our dogs.

Highly, highly recommend Ronnie to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dogsitter!
