“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”
“Heather was great with my cat!! Super friendly and communicative with me before and throughout visit, and helped me out by bringing in my deliveries. Thank you so much, would definitely call her up again!!”
“Taylor was simply incredible. We went out of the country for 10 days and needed care for our two cats and Taylor took amazing care of them. They are still young so Taylor checked in on them twice a day and was SO informative with every visit she made. She took great photos of our kittens and gave details about how they were doing which made it so stress free knowing she was there multiple times a day seeing them. Our finicky, shy kitten warmed up to her and was purring and showing her love! Just goes to show how great Taylor is. We know in the future if we are out of town, we will absolutely use Taylor again if her schedule is open. We would 10000000% recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thank you Taylor!!!!!”
“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”
About: I used to be a pet sitter for a vet who had all kinds of animals! Cats, dogs, fish, birds, you name it! I can administer medications, clean litter boxes, play time, long walks, and anything else your pet may require. I work full time close to the University of Cincinnati from 8-4 Monday-Friday. I can stop by right after work or later. Your pets safety and happiness is my priority. I currently work a full time job from 8-4. I would love to take care of your pup when I get off work or drop by later if need be! Durning drop-in visits and walks, I focus on following all instructions provided by the owner and ensuring the pet is happy and comfortable. I will provide fresh water, play time, brushing, cleaning the yard or scooping the litter box, whatever the animal needs I will provide. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy and healthy and keep to their normal routine as close as possible.
“This was Jeff’s first time with our cat and he worked with us to get to know our cat and his needs during our time away. He was on time, communicative, and followed the medication and feeding instructions. We will rebook.”
“My husband and I travel a lot for our jobs. It never gets easier leaving our girls at home, whether for a short trip or a faraway, lengthy trip. However, we have great peace of mind knowing Allison & Joel take such amazing care of our two cats every time! One is a stubborn, older cat who requires pills twice a day and a special diet. Allison and Joel send great updates and are quick to respond!”
“Skylyn is an awesome sitter for our pups. One of them has separation anxiety and gets a little sick. Skylyn is very attentive and comforting to her. Her communication is outstanding. I would highly recommend Skylyn to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years and love to take them on walks/runs! As a runner, I have found the best way to get your steps in is with a furry best friend. Whether it’s a singular walk or a play date at our house, I will make sure your dog is having the time of your life and sleeps like a baby at night! I work for a real estate company and have a very flexible work schedule. I am able to care for your dogs at all times of day and can talk them for walks or run in any weather! I care of my pets as if they are my own. I will run your dogs, take them on long walks, or bring them to my place for playtime with my dog. I have been running and taking dogs on long walks for years. Whether it’s to get out energy or help them with their weight, I make sure they have a good, safe, and exciting walk!
“Crystal was a great sitter! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is very thorough in making sure she can give the best care possible!”
About: I have had a dog in my house since I was born! So I grew up around all kinds of dogs, big and small. I have experience administering medicine to dogs of all ages and experience administering insulin shots to our diabetic senior miniature Doberman. Pet sitting was my very first job! I had countless neighbors rely on me to care for their fur babies since I was 10 years old. In college, I was in a group called 4 Paws for Ability at Miami University, where I fostered service dogs in training for the semester. My job was to socialize the dogs and basically take them everywhere with me before they could graduate from their training and be placed with a family. I’m currently taking some time off of work to figure out my next career move. I just relocated back to Cincinnati (I grew up in Loveland) after selling my house in Kentucky and am trying to figure out what I want to do next! I am very flexible at the moment and want dedicated my time to this. I have two cats at home and my roommate has a chocolate lab. Because of this, I would prefer to watch your pets at your home because our place is kind of small!
“Abby was kind, dependable, and incredibly caring giving multiple medicines to our 11 year-old cat. We would absolutely recommend her. So appreciative of Abby’s care while we were away. It brought us comfort during our 2-week trip knowing our fur baby was in great hands.”
“I’d absolutely recommend Wendy if you’re looking for a pet sitter! She was very communicative and friendly, and did everything that was requested of her. Her holiday availability was extremely appreciated, and everything was great when I returned home. Thank you Wendy!”

“I can’t recommend Rachel enough for dog walking and pet sitting! She’s been reliable and communicates anytime I’ve asked her to take care of my Shih Tzu Betsy! Betsy can be picky with people but Rachel has been able to make Betsy at ease and takes her on short walks and Betsy loves it! I always feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in good hands.
