We are both excellent with understanding and respecting individual personalities of animals and will always make our greatest effort to connect authentically. We both tend to be the people in a room that animals enjoying being near. We are Cincinnati-based nomads who run our own online business. As such, we create our own schedule and can almost always find time for other obligations and needs. We respect the requirements and expectations of the individual home(s) we are in. We are extremely flexible and can fit in to whatever routine is comfortable and expected for the household.

Olivia A.
“I highly recommend Olivia as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Having grown up with a variety of pets—cats, dogs, ferrets, gerbils, and more—Olivia has always had a natural affinity for animals of all shapes and sizes. She's taken care of my pets on numerous occasions, always showing them love and attention. I’ve been impressed by how she documents her time with them on social media, whether they’re playing fetch, cuddling, or learning new commands like sit and heel. Olivia’s dedication and care are evident in everything she does, making her a fantastic choice for anyone in need of pet sitting, walking, or home tending services. Just a heads up, she’s not a fan of spiders—so perhaps someone else for that job!”
Whitney A.
“Whitney has provided exceptional care for our fur (and human) babies throughout the last several years. She has such a positive attitude and goes above and beyond to spoil them each and every visit. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone who will love your pets like her own.”

Alli M.
“Alli did a great job taking care of my pup. On time, professional, and willing to accept the job last minute. Will definitely ask to pet sit again.”
Lexy B.
“Lexy would be a blessing to any pets life. She’s very responsible and caring. And she loves all pets with her whole heart. When she was younger she loved to train her dogs to do tricks but with her being fluent in ASL she would also teach them in sign language. She’s always impressed me with how quickly pets warm up to her and how quickly she understands each different pet’s personality. She’s had many different pets and has house sat many different pets from snakes, fish, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, leopard geckos, bearded dragons to fair show rabbits. And she loves them all like they are her own. I highly recommend her for caring for any and all pets.”
