About: I will absolutely care for your pet like it’s my own, and that means the full 5 star treatment. Whether it’s frequent walks, play time, cuddles, cleaning, or care, your pet WILL be in good hands, I can assure you. Anybody who knows me, knows that I am the most dire animal lover and have been caring for animals since I was little. I’ve dealt with it all from anti social cats, to sinus infections, to overly energetic puppies. I’ve got this. I have the entire summer off before Graduate school at the University of Cincinnati starts. I prefer to work week days but will take a weekend offer on occasion. My hours are very flexible and I have my own car for transportation! I care for pets as if they were my own. I believe that animals deserve all the love and care that we can provide and will treat them with the utmost respect.

“Kathy was great with our dog Bella! She was flexible, responsive, and reliable. We will continue to use her in the future and highly recommend her! Thanks Kathy!”


About: I take the time to understand each animal’s behavior and needs—whether it’s going on long walks to burn energy, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra attention to ease anxiety—so they feel truly cared for. I’m currently working during the week in the late afternoons/evenings and I am able to take care of pets more freely in the morning, early afternoons and on weekends. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys—so they feel secure. I always give them lots of attention, keep their space clean, and stay alert for any signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep everything tidy, making sure the pet’s environment stays familiar and stress-free. Communication is key too, so I give regular updates to keep owners reassured.

“Jessica was great with Chief and I appreciated her willingness to help with walks with short notice. Chief gravitated to her instantly! She’s thorough in communication and I love the pictures that come with Chief’s report card. 😊 I will certainly be rebooking.”


“My poodle is not quite 2 years old and full of energy. I’m recovering from surgery and Maria is doing a great job practicing commands he learned from trainer. Friendly, adaptable, dependable, and good communicator Maria is terrific walker. Topaz loves walking with her .”


About: I love animals and I've had pets off and on since I was 8 years old (mostly cats and dogs). My apartment building doesn't allow dogs, so I can't wait to help take care of yours! I currently have a very playful & rambunctious 7-year old cat named Milo. His favorite activities include cuddling, morning snack time, watching birds and squirrels, evening snack time, and sitting on the computer while his human is trying to do work. I've had to administer the occasional medication as well (mostly pills or liquid mixed in with wet food). I also have experience administering eye drops. I have checked in on pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, birds, hermit crabs, etc.) often for friends and family over the years. Recently, I've enjoyed the occasional walk, drop-in, or daycare pick-up with my brother's dog. I'm working on cultivating some freelance remote marketing opportunities and currently have more openings in my schedule. I am completely flexible to check in on your beloved furry family members. I have daytime and limited evening availability for walks and drop-ins. Note: For your dog's safety, I will not walk dogs in frigid, excessively hot, or inclement weather. (This will depend on the dog's age, size, breed, and overall health). Ongoing need? If you'd like to set a schedule, that would be great! I live in Covington, so I have easy access to the river cities (Covington, Newport, and Bellevue), downtown Cincinnati (including Smale park), as well as Over-The-Rhine. There are several dog-friendly establishments in Covington and I live right next door to Randolph Park. The baseball diamond outfield is used as an unofficial dog park by many Covington residents. There is also a fence around the field, so dogs have ample space to run around without worrying about a bunch of other dogs. A real hidden gem! Currently, my apartment building does not allow dogs. Also, my cat Milo might not approve.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back

About: I spent my high school in a household with 4 cats (each with wildly different temperaments), and a border collie who loved "herding" them. In the years since moving out, I've fostered 3 cats and house-sat for both cats and dogs. For dogs in particular, I enjoy being outdoors and walking, so taking doggos on walks and playing with them has always come very naturally to me! I have a fully remote job with pretty flexible hours, so I can pop in and out as needed. Whether it be house sitting and vibing with the pets, or going on walks with the dogs, my schedule is fairly accommodating to make things happen! I've grown up taking care of pets with a wide range of personalities and temperaments, and am really good at understanding what pets want and respecting those boundaries.

“VERY responsive and did very well with my dog. She left pictures every day, which made me feel much better about the situation. Was hesitant to use this service, but she made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was well taken care of.”


About: I’ve taken care of several dogs in the past four years. These were mostly boarding and dog sitting opportunities that I loved. Looking to keep this going in my new home. Just got my own dog several months ago, her name is Winnie! I work from home MWF and can help out during the day! I am in office Tuesdays and Thursday’s and spend most of my weekends in Cincinnati! I just moved into an apartment with my partner and our dog. It’s very spacious and less than a mile from two parks that we walk to daily! The apartment is big enough for everyone to have their own space but not too big where I can’t keep great track of pets!

About: I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding business in NKY, I’ve learned a lot from working there. My love for dogs has grown more than I could imagine. I’ve had many pets growing up and I now have two of my own. I have two dachshunds named Harmony and Hazel. My favorite pet I’ve ever owned was my chinchilla! Her name was Bella. A home is not the same without a pet. I currently work a part time job and know my schedule two weeks at a time. I also have a business and work from home for that. I know my schedule usually months ahead of time. With that being said, my schedule is flexible! I can work mornings, mid day and evenings. I have a large back yard and a cute neighborhood that I walk my two dogs around. I live close to a few parks. I also have a full finished basement so if you need your pet to be crated or would like for them have a large space to themselves I have plenty of room.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I’ve taken care of puppies to old divas, little ankle biters to huskies and pit bulls, rambunctious to calm and docile. I still care for my 15 year old shi tzu mix as well as my 4 year old pit lab mix. Most dogs like me and if they are shy I make sure to build a relationship and build trust. I mostly work from home and coach most late afternoons during weekdays. My schedule is pretty flexible so I shouldn’t have any trouble popping by to play and take out dogs or house sitting. I make sure to check food and water are good after letting the little buddies out. I generally try to match the energy I’m getting whether that’s playing fetch or keep away when a buddy is excited or sitting and reading when a buddy just wants to relax and sleep. It’s no question that the buddies will get scratches and belly rubs. I am well versed in using crates as well.

“Tyler is the best! He is reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile to care for Murphy during and after his walks. Would recommend to anyone looking for a walker!”
