“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 ?”


“Paige was great from her initial visit with Buster up until we got home. She proved us wonderful pictures and updates of Buster while we were gone.”


“Rhianna was fantastic! Our pets were well cared for and quickly became comfortable. Even harsh weather didn't stop Rhianna from coming and taking great care of them!”


“Jacinda was great with our pups and sent us a ton of photos and videos while we were away! We’d definitely use her again as a house sitter!”


About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 19+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

About: Passionate Pet Caregiver with Years of Tail-Wagging Experience With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I’ve dedicated myself to providing loving, attentive, and reliable care. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a furry friend as part of my family. From playful pups to finicky felines (and everything in between), I treat every pet like family. My love and care extends beyond four legs, as I am currently pursing a degree in nursing!Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or special needs care like medication administration, your furry friend is in trusted hands! I am currently pursing a degree for nursing, and work part-time as a waitress. I am an early bird by heart, but have been shifted to a night owl because of my work schedule. I love to tend to my fur babies in the morning, waking my four-legged friend and setting a positive attitude for the day with exercise and natural vitamin D! Play time is an around the clock must. Any morning, afternoon, or evening, I am the girl to care for your four-legged friends! Any routine they need, I am very adaptable. I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs and cats, willing to crate, administer medication, exercise, play, and snuggle. I am more than willing to follow and routine needed for you and your family. Play dates, walks, feeding, and even the not so fun clean up side of pet care!

“So lucky we found Cindy! Cindy was the perfect dog sitter for my moody little guy. He was immediately taken with her and Cindy did a great job at getting Brownie to feel confortable with her. I was out of town for four days and felt very comfortable leaving Brownie with Cindy. I got regular text messages and pictures of Brownie updating me about their day. I’ll definitely reach out to Cindy again the next time we go out of town.”


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: 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.

“Cara did a great job with three larger dogs. Two lap Labs and an old boxer mix. Our concern was how the old boxer would get along with her. Cola immediately warmed up and Cara gave us regular updates through photos. I'd recommend her.”


“Lydia is amazing!! She’s watched our fur baby many times, always goes above & beyond. She even helped us out last minute. When we’re away I feel at ease knowing our dog is in good hands with her. She even sends pictures & gives updates on how everything is going. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”


“Very sweet girl and was wonderful with Maggie. So happy I took a chance with this app.”


“Cyndi was very trustworthy and reliable while watching our two dogs while we took a family trip. Usually our dogs stay with family while we travel, but I can tell Cyndi kept them comfortable and gave them all the snuggles they needed! She did a beautiful job cleaning our home too, which was completely unexpected! Cyndi is warm and welcoming and I'm confident she'd be an excellent care taker for anyone's pets and anyone's home.”


“Haley is amazing! The communication before and during our stay was perfect. She was so patient and kind with our anxious girls. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable and happy knowing they were safe with her, and we returned to very happy and loved puppies.”


“Chirstina watched my two dogs overnight for the first time, and they already like her more than me. Total traitors. Perhaps she'll come watch them more often!”


“Morgann is amazing! I moved here from another state and was worried about finding a new dog sitter for my fur babies after having the same sitter for 8 years. My dogs love her and she took fabulous care of them. She was great with communication while we were out of town, sending me pictures and updates about the dogs too. Would definitely recommend her and plan on working with her again.”


“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!”


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 have a flexible schedule and work per diem in healthcare, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and love. I offer regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. During our time together, I can also teach basic tricks like sit, paw, roll over, and lay down—keeping things fun and mentally stimulating. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable, including the couches and beds. My home is smoke-free, peaceful, and full of love. I truly go the extra mile to make every pet feel like part of the family. Pet care is one of the most meaningful and fulfilling parts of my week. I work per diem in healthcare, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to caring for animals. I structure my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily routine. When pets are in my care, their comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, clean, and smoke-free environment where pets are free to relax, snuggle, and feel right at home. I take time to get to know their routines, preferences, and energy levels—whether they love to play or prefer quiet companionship. In my home, pets are allowed on furniture and beds if that’s what they’re used to, and I follow any feeding, medication, or behavior routines closely. In a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and care, keeping pets on their usual schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I believe in clear communication and always send updates, photos, and messages so you feel connected and reassured.

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

Nakkiya-Rose P.
“I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person to trust with your pets than Nakkiya. She’s taken care of my dog on several occasions, and every time, I’ve come home to a happy, well-loved pup who barely seemed to notice I was gone! She’s a true animal person, the kind who just gets pets. She has a dog and a cat of her own, so she knows firsthand how important routines, little quirks, and personalities are. She’s super attentive, always asks great questions to make sure she’s doing things the way you do them, and sends plenty of updates so you’re never wondering how your pet is doing. But more than anything, I trust her completely. She’s calm, reliable, and clearly cares deeply about animals. My dog warmed up to her instantly (which never happens), and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I can’t recommend Nakkiya enough!”

“Tanner (and her mom) have been caring for our dogs for about a year now. We have three big dogs and they provide them exceptional care and company when we are away. Our Aussie has a serious medical condition that requires time sensitive medication around the clock and I can always trust that she is getting them on time. Tanner comes over regularly for drop ins and med administration during the work week and has dog sat over night for up 12 days while we are away on vacation. Highly recommend!”
