“Destiny is very experienced with dogs and my Shih Tzu, Toby, enjoyed his day with her. I will definitely schedule her again in the future. She kept my home spotless and exceeded my expectations!”
“Thea was great with Sammie and Paddy, giving them lots of outside time and attention. She also was communicative and took great care of the house. We're definitely booking with her again!”
“Jennifer was able to help me out last minute and she was great. I wasn't able to meet her due to timing, but I never felt uncomfortable having her in my house and with my pets. She was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful. 10/10 recommend”
“Heather was fantastic! She took excellent care of Zoey our 17 year old dog! She is very kind and you will be very pleased if you use her to take care of your fur baby!”
“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Suzanne was a wonderful sitter! Patches got to play and be exercised while i was at an out of town workshop! He loved his sitter and I know she cared for him while I was away. She sent fun action photos of him playing! Arrives on time always. Will have her again, Jane H.”
About: I grew up with a senior dog then had puppies to senior dogs. I now help my friends out with their little ones quite frequently. I am a professor so I have work from home hours and am only required on campus for short stints of time. Evenings I like to be outside and take walks. Weekends I love being outside. I live in an apartment right next to a city park. I love taking walks there, it’s a 1 mile trek but can end whenever. At my friends places, I let the dog lead and show me their routine. I enjoy taking dogs on adventures.
“Alyssa was great with Zuzu! I needed someone last minute and she was able to help in a pinch. Zuzu also does not do the best with strangers, but took to her so well. Thank you so much.”
“Kristen was easy to work worth and great with our two dogs! We had no issues and she had great communication (with pictures) while she was house sitting for us during our trip out of town. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dogs for us again in the future!”
“Crystal did an amazing job with our pup, who takes a while to warm up when we are away. Crystal's daily updates were very thorough, and she is very conscientious and caring. We know our girl is in good hands with Crystal!”
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a fenced in yard that's about 70 yards deep. I also have a 30 yard lead that is concreted in (no fear of them breaking lose. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. The closest dog park is about 2 miles from my house. I live alone.
“I highly recommend Shelia! Our two dogs and cat loved her! It was a relief to know they were in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely be rebooking her for future trips.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Kathleen! She cares for our home, two pups, and one guinea pig while we were on vacation for a week. We returned to a clean home and happy pets! Kathleen was great at keeping us updated. We were able to have peace of mind on vacation. We recommend her highly.”
“Jared was great with our two crazy puppies and all of our other animals. Sent lots of pictures, I could tell the dogs loved him. Gave us peace of mind during our trip. He also had a great doughnut recommendation for our destination!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had another great sitting with Syd! Syd is always so communicative and reliable. We know our dog Norma feels comfortable and safe, not to mention it is clear Syd has a genuine love and care for each pet and appreciates our Norma’s unique qualities. Our house is always neat and tidy when we return home, care instructions followed, and our dog happy and calm. Everything we could ask for- thank you Syd!”

Megan has watched our two large dogs (80 and 110lbs) several times now and has consistently gone above and beyond! She sends lots of pictures and wonderful updates during her stays with them. They get spoiled rotten with extra walks, snuggles and play time. Wholeheartedly would recommend!

I had to go out of town for a day and Carson cared for my 2 fur babies (Chihuahua & Shi Tzu). I am VERY careful who cares for my dogs because one has to have 2 insulin shots a day and the other is visually impaired. Carson did a wonderful job caring for them and ensuring their needs were met. I would definitely utilize Carson again.
We are new to the Cincinnati area, and finding a new pet sitting can be quite daunting. We are so fortunate to have had AJ take care of our 3 papillons and house for the past week. During the meet and greet, my 3 liked AJ immediately. He is a good communicator and very conscientious. We received several updates, and found our dogs happy and healthy upon our return. He also kept our house very tidy. We will definitely book AJ when we need pet sitting in the future. 5☆
Caroline is truly one of a kind. She watched my two cats again after a couple years, and they immediately remembered her — which says everything. She just gets them. Her updates were hilarious and detailed (like full-on storytime from the cats’ point of view) and honestly made my whole trip better. It’s so rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, but that’s exactly what she does. She gave them the same love, attention, and cuddles I would — probably more. I never had to worry once. I came home to happy cats, a spotless house, clean sheets, and the feeling that my cats had just had the best little staycation ever. She’s thoughtful, dependable, funny, and just genuinely wonderful to work with. If you’re lucky enough to book her — do it. My cats (and I) absolutely adore her.
Sage did a great job taking care of our cat and dog while we were gone for two weeks. Her responsibility and attention to detail was evident from our initial meet and greet until the time of our arrival home. Our girls seemed to have a great time with her, and she sent us pictures regularly, which we greatly appreciated!
Outstanding! Bri was very dependable during her 10 day stay housesitting my senior fur babies! She treated them very well and was able to give them their medicine twice a day. No issues occurred, I was at peace of mind the entire time. We received a couple updates with photos, which was nice to see while we were away. I would suggest communicating with Bri in advance of booking, how much time you anticipate her being at your house when hiring her for housesitting. I definitely recommend Bri and hope to use her services again!
Colleen is a joy to work with. She has a positive attitude and truly enjoys working with our 3 dogs. She even gave us advice our one of puppies health as she was previously a vet tech. I will definitely use Colleen’s services again and recommend her as a dog sitter. It’s nice to see someone so enthusiastic about playing with my dogs. I know they are in good hands!
