Cat Sitting in Blue Ash

“Maureen took excellent care of my cats! They've taken quite the liking to her, and posed for many wonderful pictures! Will be happy to work with her again!!”

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi 💕 My name is Pin-Hsuan, you also can call me Bella! Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals — cats, dogs, fish, birds, hedgehogs, and even hamsters. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve taken care of my own cats, helped with cat-sitting around UC, and have some fostering experience too. I’m calm, reliable, and very clean. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, walks, or gentle cuddles, I pay attention to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I send daily photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and relaxed. 嗨～你好！💕 我從小就跟各種動物一起長大，像貓、狗、魚、鳥、刺蝟、倉鼠都有照顧過，動物一直都像是我生活的一部分。來美國之後，我一直照顧自己的貓，也有在 UC 附近幫忙過動物寄養和照看，還有寄養的經驗。 我個性很穩、好相處，也超愛乾淨。會盡量讓每一隻毛孩在主人不在時，都能覺得安全、放鬆、被好好照顧。餵食、清貓砂、陪玩、散步、抱抱，我都會根據每隻動物的個性來安排。我也會每天傳送照片讓主人安心！ About my schedule: I’m a musician, so my schedule is flexible between gigs. With a few days of planning, I’m available most of the time — and I can often accept last-minute requests too. 我是一名音樂家，因為演出時間比較彈性，只要提前幾天說，我大部分時間都可以配合，也能接受臨時需求。 For boarding cats overnight at my place I have an entire floor dedicated to kitty guests, with a clean litter box and plenty of places to jump and explore. I have experience giving pets medicine if needed. 我家有一整層是專門給寄宿貓咪的空間，乾淨、舒服，也有地方可以跳、探索、休息。如果需要餵藥我也有經驗。

About: I’m a big animal lover and have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. My first job in high school was working at Best Friends Pet Care, where I cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments throughout my entire high school career. That experience taught me how to safely handle, feed, exercise, and care for many different types of pets. While I was in college, I continued gaining experience by working at Red Dog Pet Resort during school breaks when I came home. In addition to that, I now do pet sitting on the side and have cared for up to nine animals at once (five dogs and four cats), all with unique personalities and needs. I also grew up with two dogs and two cats of my own, who have since passed away. Having pets my whole life has made my love for animals even stronger, and I understand how important they are as members of the family. I always strive to provide safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet I look after. I work full time Monday through Thursday and am usually off around 4:30 PM on those days. I also have a hybrid schedule, so I work from home a lot of the time, which gives me additional flexibility for pet care visits during the day when my schedule allows. During the week, I’m typically available for evening visits and walks, and from Friday through Sunday I’m off, which allows me to be much more flexible and available for daytime visits, walks, and check-ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main goal is to keep them relaxed, safe, and content in the place they know best. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—whether that includes meals at certain times, walks, playtime, or simply quiet companionship. I also ensure water bowls are kept fresh, litter boxes or potty areas stay clean, and your pet receives plenty of care and attention while you’re away.

“Elizabeth did a fantastic job watching my bunnies. I received pictures of them while I was away along with updates. I will definitely be using her again.”

“We’ve had Jeff take care of our dog Jack many times now. He is a fantastic sitter, always takes great care of Jack, takes him on long walks, and treats him as family. Cannot recommend him more strongly, you will love him!”

“Lauren accommodated a last minute booking for us! We have two cats, one of which can be a bit particular and both need to take pills which Lauren made sure they got. I had also found a kitten right before our last minute trip and Lauren also kept her quarantined and make sure she got her medicine as well. Thanks so much for taking great care of everyone!”

Rachel V.

“Daniel recently provided drop-in visits for our daughter's cat Milo while we were on a family hiking trip. His pics of Milo showed how happy Milo was to see him, and when we returned home it was obvious Milo was much more at ease compared to other times we were away. We've also had Daniel pet sit for our dogs in the past, and he really creates a fast bond with them. We're so thankful to have someone as reliable and attentive as Daniel to care for our pets!”

Matthew R.

“Piper loved having Sarah check in on her and feed her at lunch time! I appreciated all the updates Sarah provided me during her check in and will definitely be booking her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I'm a Registered Veterinary Technician with hands-on experience in animal care, I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology. I've worked closely with dogs, cats and exotics of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, so I'm very comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra care. With my veterinary background, I have hands-on experience working with animals in both general practice and emergency situations, so I'm comfortable recognizing signs of illness, handling medical needs, and staying calm under pressure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they're my own. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in the client’s home or my own. In the client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while also keeping their home clean and secure. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, stick to their usual routine as much as possible, and receive plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication with regular updates for peace of mind.

“I am so thankful for Nina's help while I was away for two long days in a row. The dogs were happier and more relaxed when I came home and seeing her reports took away all my guilt for leaving them for the day. It's obvious they had fun and felt loved. I will definitely seek her out again!”

About: Every animal deserves to feel safe, and I pride myself on being calm, compassionate, and attentive. Whether your fur baby is energetic or anxious, I meet them with patience to create that trusting bond during our time together. My only conflicts are listed below. Monday evenings are very flexible, though, and I’m always available before/after work at the candle store. • Mondays: 6pm-8pm at Save the Animals Foundation • Wednesdays: 12pm-5pm at Nova Candle Company • Thursdays: 11am-6pm at Nova Candle Company • Saturdays: 10am-3pm at Nova Candle Company I have a decent sized backyard (fenced in) with plenty of toys for your furry family member, and I have easy access to a park for walks. If they have low energy, my older Pug will be their snuggle buddy. If they have high energy, my Shiba Inu puppy will give them a grand playtime.

About: I grew up with dogs and have included them in my family as an adult. My childhood dogs were Prince, a golden curly-haired Poodle/Collie mix, and Midnight, a black German Shepherd/Spaniel mix. Prince passed while I was in middle school but I had Midnight throughout my childhood and college years. We walked everywhere in my neighborhood and enjoyed playing in the backyard or just laying in the sun together. My next family dog would be chosen by my 7 yo daughter at the PAWS animal shelter. She found Fantasia - a 1.5 yo Border Collie mix - and they were instantly best friends. Fantasia (Tasia) was a part of our family through raising children and my divorce - becoming my best friend and companion. She passed from old age a few years ago and had lived to be 16 yo. I miss my best friend and furry family member dearly. This is why I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing the love and care that you would give yourself. I currently have the freedom to care for your pet and meet their needs per your request. Walks and playtime are a given, and I am happy to do basic coat brushing, and of course, will provide lots of TLC. I have a fenced yard and live in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks. I am also just a mile from 2 area parks -Summit Park in Blue Ash and Webb C. Gower Park in Sharonville. Both are very walkable and dog friendly. If desired, Summit Park has a fenced dog park area for socialization and play. And Sharon Woods Park is a short drive from my house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I also foster dogs through Cincinnati Animal CARE (CAC), which has given me experience with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. My parents own a miniature dachshund (The 2 time Cincinnati Oktoberfest Wiener Dog Champ 🏆), who I raised myself as a puppy during COVID. I lived with cats in college too and learned to love them just as much. Dogs staying with me get the full Barkingham Palace experience! I have a front and backyard, lots of toys and enrichment activities, a tether so they can safely run and play, plus time for plenty of walks and snuggles. I’m always the family/friend go-to for pet care, so I figured I’d finally extend the offer beyond my circle! I work full-time as an assistant commercial property underwriter. I usually get two work from home days but also have super flexible hours so I can work around most schedules! I love all animals. I will follow any and every instruction given. I can walk, crate, cuddle, and/or train your animal(s) whenever you need me to.

“Maria did an excellent job taking care of my dog. I will definitely book her again.”

J Greg M.

“We had Monica let our dog out a couple times while we were gone for an overnight. She was great! We didn't have a chance to meet before hand as it was a last minute request but I was able to leave a key and instructions. She was great with our dog, filled his food and water, let him out, took him for a little walk, and even sent us a photo/updates. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your dog!”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, but I am also passionate about animal care and behavior. I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, from newborn animals to senior animals at the end of their life, and in many different contexts, including shelter animals, farm animals, and housepets. I also have extensive experience with farm animals such as horses, and have also cared for birds, insects, fish, and reptiles. I love getting to know each animal: their personality, likes and dislikes, and how they interact with the world. I treat each animal like the individual they are and get to know their particular care and routine. I do the best I can to help the animals I care for to feel comfortable and safe. What I am particularly experienced in: -Caring for senior dogs, including those who need meds or need aid in mobility -Caring for multi-animal households I am currently in-between jobs, so my schedule is completely open. I do not currently have any commitments, so I am able to dedicate my time to pet care. I make it a point to be safe and communicative throughout anytime I care for or petsit an animal: -Before I take care of any animal, I make sure to meet them and their owner together. This allows the pet to meet me, a new person, while having an already familiar person with them. This helps pet be more at ease and helps me to see how the pet feels when they are more comfortable. Meeting the pet beforehand allows us both to get to know each other, which will make for a more safe and pleasant experience when I go to care for that animal for the first time. At this same meeting, I can talk with the owners to learn about the animal, such as their background and any medical concerns. -While petsitting, I update the owners at least once a day as to how their pet is doing. If there is an issue, I make sure to immediately contact the owners with my concerns. -While caring for the animal, I always carefully watch their body language and behavior. I act in a calm manner and try to help animal feel at ease. I make sure to ask the owners about sources for anxiety for their pet, such any fears the animal may have or any areas the animal does not like being touched, so that I am aware. -Before leaving, I always check that the animal is safe and secure, such as crating an animal in needed, putting harmful things out of reach, and double checking doors are locked.
