Maddie took great care of our cat while we were out of town. Communication was great from the initial meet and greet to the last visit. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I work as a teacher Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because of this, I’m most available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and overnight stays during the week. My schedule also allows for consistent availability on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of my work hours.

We met Melanie during the pandemic, and she has watched our kitty Boots for us a couple times so far. She is/was very respectful of covid precautions and made us feel very comfortable during our meet and greet. She clearly has a love for animals and will give your pet TLC while you are away. She took the time to listen to our requests and answered any questions we had. She shows up on time and pays attention to the detailed notes/tasks we leave. We recommend Melanie!

About: I have been watching pets for years and would love to provide great care to yours as well! I know how important your pet is to you and you can trust that I have years of experience taking care of animals. I have lived with pets my entire life, so I know how to recognize body language and anxiety. That knowledge is supplemented by my experience volunteering at animal shelters for four years. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Outside of my classes, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I currently cannot keep pets at my home. However, I am always happy to watch pets in your home! I can overnight petsit or do only day visits or dog walks. Pet parents have trusted me taking care of their pets in their home for years.

Laura has been lovely to work with! Not our first review and very likely not our last. She has sat for our pup multiple times in various forms and it’s always a positive experience. She sends multiple photos, keeps us updated on his potty and drink status, and genuinely shows she cares about him, which is most important in my book!

Kam did the job as requested keeping my kitties sane and fed in their family's absence. It was a great help because our regular sitter was unexpectedly unavailable and I had only a matter of hours to secure a new sitter. They were responsive and made themselves available to us on very short notice. I greatly appreciated that-- then I could go on our family vacation with our worries.

Travis was absolutely fantastic with our sweet Sadie Rose. Our lovely girl is quite high maintenance due to her large size (Blue Merle Great Dane) and her medical issues from old age. He was caring and truly concerned for her well-being along with great communication and pictures of girl (also a few pics of our silly cats). Travis was on time and went above and beyond for us and our girl, Sadie. Highly recommend Travis!!

Susan is very caring and loving with our dogs. When we were out of town for the day, Susan watched them for us and sent us plenty of photos. When we returned home, the dogs were happy and fed, the dog dishes had been washed, and we found a nice thank you note and a present of doggy treats left for us. We plan to use Susan again very soon.

Krystal did a great job taking care of our two cats. They tend to be shy around new people but warmed up to her so quickly. We'll certainly book with her again.
