About: I have always had a love and passion for caring for small dogs. Over the past three years, I have gained personal experience caring for my own pet, learning the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attention in helping a dog feel safe and happy. Throughout the years, I have also helped care for family and friends’ pets, which has allowed me to build trust with different dogs and understand their unique needs and personalities. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel loved, comfortable, and excited. I especially love small dogs because of their sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. Whether it’s cuddling, going on walks, playing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy making sure dogs feel cared for, loved, and supported. My goal is always to provide a safe, gentle, and fun environment where pets feel like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I have been caring for my own small dog for the last three years. Each day, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy building that routine because dogs thrive on consistency, attention, and care. Throughout the week, I also make space for longer walks, extra playtime, grooming needs, and quality bonding time. Since I have helped watch family and friends’ pets over the years, I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine that feels familiar to them. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I truly enjoy being around dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home 4 days a week and have plenty of time to help others care for their fur babies. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love when they are in my home. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, cuddle, and feel like part of the family. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I have a passion for small dogs, I really enjoy creating a space where they can feel comfortable and loved. Whether I am cuddling with them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Kat was/is truly amazing with my Zara! I received updates daily by text and videos. I could tell Zara was treated like her own. Zara had so much fun I thought she wouldn’t want to comeback home.. lol 😂. Thanks again for your kindness, professionalism, and expertise! Zara will be back as long as you will have her❤️❤️ Thanks again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”
“Hazel was phenomenal. She was flexible with her schedule. It was easy to communicate with her. She updated me throughout the day. I would definitely recommend!”
“Brittany and her family are wonderful. I never have to worry when Benny spends time with them at their house because I know he is receiving just as much love and attention (if not more!) there as he would at home. :)”
“Sean took excellent care of my 10 month old lab for 9 days. I enjoyed the daily photos or video and his comments of how he was doing. Sean was always available for any questions or concerns I had doing his stay. I also appreciated Sean’s insight on raising a puppy which was most helpful. My pup had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back.”
“We are so grateful for Kathryn! 💕 She has always been so patient with our flight delays and is always willing to take care of Minnie, even at the last minute. She treats Minnie with so much love and kindness, and we can tell our pup feels completely comfortable and happy with her. Communication is always smooth, and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Knowing Minnie is in her care gives us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter—she truly feels like part of the family! 🥰”
“I can’t say enough how grateful and thankful I am to Angela for taking such amazing care of my fur baby! She kept in constant contact with me. Sent me updates, photos and videos through the days. She did an absolutely fantastic job and I would most definitely use her again. I only gave her 5 stars because 10 stars were not available!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! My husband and I share our home with Boba, our sweet French Bulldog, who has brought so much joy into our lives. Being a dog parent myself, I understand the importance of routines, patience, affection, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel loved and secure. My goal is to provide a welcoming, low-volume, home-based experience where your dog receives individualized attention rather than feeling like just another guest at a busy boarding facility. Whether your pup loves cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home! I work remotely, so I'm home throughout much of the day and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Having a dog of my own, I'm already accustomed to regular feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection! My flexible home-based routine allows me to provide companionship and attention throughout the day, rather than leaving visiting pets alone for extended periods. I offer boarding and daycare based on my availability and intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at once so each guest receives personalized attention. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a welcoming home environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of individual attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to maintain familiar routines and respect each pet's unique needs. I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new boarding guests to ensure they're comfortable with me, my home, and my resident French Bulldog, Boba. I follow each owner's feeding instructions, medication requirements, and care preferences closely. I also supervise interactions between dogs, provide separate feeding spaces, and make sure every pet has a comfortable place to rest. I intentionally keep my bookings limited and provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“Molly was the BEST! She watched my 11 week old Airedale terrier puppy who was very much still at a needy and annoying age, and she was amazing. So attentive and sent lots of pictures/videos/updates. Her dog Winnie is also the sweetest and was a great teacher & playmate for my puppy. I would 100% recommend her!!”
“We were very happy with Rachael and Jeffrey watching our dogs. They are very nice and kind with them ! We will absolutely have them watch our dogs again.”
“Brynn took such great care of my senior dog and was very responsive and proactive throughout his stay with her. I would highly recommend her and will book again with Brynn in the future!”
“Erika took care of my two babies while I was traveling. Unfortunately, my previous dog sitter is no longer in the area, so I had to find a new sitter. Both my dogs are rescue dogs, so I always worry when they go to a new place. I had no need to worry. When we did our meet and greet, they did well. During the time they stayed with Erika she sent me pictures and updates regularly. There was a small issue with one who has a sensitive stomach and she immediately reached out to me to confirm how to handle. She was willing to give a probiotic every day, to keep my boy on his schedule. I appreciate all those details very much. It is such a relief to find a good honest person to take care of my pups when I need to be away. I will definitely use Erika again.”
“Another great job by Pam. Watched our two dogs for a week. She does a great job with keeping up with pictures and videos so that we can relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Thomas did a wonderful job watching our yellow lab while we were away for a few days. He’s very responsible and kept us updated with daily reports and photos. He was very attentive and took her on several walks during the day. I highly recommend Thomas and will definitely use him again.”
“Megan took amazing care of Louie. She was communicative, responsive, responsible and so kind. She’s mindful of the dogs needs and their personalities, taking care to be sure if multiple dogs are in her home that she is on top of their interactions and giving each dog exactly what they need. We knew the whole time that Louie was getting the best care and was so loved while we’re away. We look forward to working with Megan again in the future!”

Laura was fun to work with. She is knowledgeable about dog behavior and interactions, especially with those first time boarding. I felt confident that my dog felt comfortable in a new environment. Having a dog and family gave him plenty of playmates. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Definitely will use her again.
Brittany was amazing with our Yorkie, Reese\! She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure he got lots of walks and attention\. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Reese was being well cared for while we were away\. You can tell Reese really enjoyed his time with Brittany and Dior because he definitely misses them\! We’re very happy with the care he received and will absolutely be booking with Brittany again\. Reese is already looking forward to seeing them both again\! Highly recommend!
Kara and Paul have taken care of our dog, Biggs on many occasions. We can always enjoy our time away knowing that Biggs is in excellent hands. We receive many photographs of Biggs playing with their dog in their spacious fenced in backyard. We highly recommend Kara and Paul!

Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
