About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve owned animals from guinea pigs, dogs, cats, a chinchilla, hamsters, etc. I am available to help care for your pets in any way you need! I am a full time college student so I will update my calendar each month. My schedule on weekdays will vary a little bit and I am very flexible on the weekends for whatever your needs may be! I can adapt to whatever your specific needs may be. Each family is different and their animals needs are different as well so I am willing to learn your ways!
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and extensive experience with dogs of all ages, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, SubQ, IM) and can handle everything from bathing and walking to drop-ins. Friends and family often rely on me for their pets' needs, knowing they’ll receive the best care while they’re away. I’m currently available every day for your pet sitting, walking, and drop-in needs. I live in the Norwood/Oakley area and love getting my steps in while ensuring your pets have the support they need while you’re away! Your pets will be in excellent hands with me. Our home features a small, secure yard and hardwood floors with HVAC for their comfort. If your pet is crate-trained, we’re happy to use their crate. Our neighborhood offers fantastic walking routes, ensuring plenty of exercise and exploration. Rest assured, safety and trust are my top priorities, and your pets will enjoy a cozy and caring environment while you’re away.
“Lauren was great! She was available and agreed to walk Tucker on very short notice. Everything went as planned and I got some super cute pics of my boy ☺️ definitely recommend!”
“Devynne has been there for me through surgery recovery and recent toe diagnosis which makes it painful to walk my sweet Zeke. I know Zeke is in trustworthy and loving hands with Devynne. She was quick to pick up on everything Zeke in the beginning and has been flexible throughout. Zeke and I highly recommend Devynne!🐾”
“Nina has done a great job walking my dogs! She leaves very detailed notes with pictures & is very kind and timely. She always quickly responds to messages and lets me know in advance when she will be out of town. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!
“Jim has been dropping in on our basset hound puppy while my wife and I are at work since she was about 3 months old. He continues to do a fantastic job. He is caring, thoughtful, and professional. Our dog adores him.”

About: I've taken care of animals on and off for many years. My schedule is flexible and self directed, so this is a fun side job that I truly enjoy! I have a passion for working with animals and feel privileged to be able to. I have experience caring for a variety of animals with differing needs. I'm experienced with older dogs, separation anxiety and medication administration. I feel prepared to respond to any emergency or need as they come up! I tend to have a calming influence on anxious pets and like to talk to them a lot! Open to helping anyone, but I prefer working within ten miles of Hyde Park, unless I'm house sitting for more than 2 days. If house sitting, I'm happy to water plants, bring in mail, etc. I'm newer here, but I have a profile on Care and references available! I pay lots of attention to the animals I watch. Whatever your pets schedule is, I can likely accommodate it. I'm happy to take your pet on walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. I will follow whatever instructions you leave for play and enrichment. I have a fenced-in backyard, which you can see in my photos. My home is pet free. It is also kid free. Your pet will have my full attention if they board with me. It's very safe, and quiet!
About: Hello! My name is Sundance Roberts and I am a current graduate at UC! I work a part time job as a server and I am looking for some extra work on the side. I just came back from a two year job in Madrid, Spain! I am from Cincinnati and will be living here for the time being until I discover my next adventure. I love all animals and I think this would be a perfect side job! My job at the restaurant is very flexible and I have a good relationship with my managers so I am able to change around my availability for your pets needs! Please contact me if you need a sitter to watch your dogs or walk them :) I have grown up with dogs and I used to dog sit in the neighborhood I grew up in as a child. Thank you! I currently work nights at the restaurant, typically 4-5 hour long shifts! I will be able to be with the pups during the day and can attend all needs after work as well! I love being with the animals and I am very flexible on the type of care the animal may need! I am patient as well with lots of experience working with all pets.
About: Growing up with dogs, I developed a passion for animals from a young age. I began pet-sitting in high school for family members as a way to make gas money, and have been doing it ever since. I'm the go-to gal for all my family members / family friends when their vacation time rolls around, and love dogs of all ages and sizes! I have also fostered around a dozen pups, and even foster-failed and adopted one special guy — Lou. I firmly believe all pups should be treated like humans and yours will definitely be getting all the attention a furry friend could possibly want. My schedule is fairly flexible, as I work at and manage a bar. My schedule is typically the same every week, so feel free to chat with me about what your needs might be, and we can set up regular visits! I also have experience pet-sitting cats, turtles, bunnies, guinea pigs, and birds. I'm comfortable with a wide range of animal friends! I can provide references if needed, and am more than happy to do a meet and greet with your pups! I manage a bar and my schedule is set several weeks in advance. With the exception of special events (a friends bday or concert, etc), my schedule remains the same week to week, which allows for consistent walks and drop in visits with your pups! While I don’t currently offer extended pet-sitting at my or a client’s house, I will absolutely take the most care in the world of your fur baby while walking them or dropping in to let them out / play with them. I will ensure their safety on a leash and around any other pets/people we encounter on a walk. I’m comfortable getting them in and out of crates and taking care of animals of all sizes.

Corey C.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Corey has been an incredible support for both me and my dog, Charlie. It’s not easy trusting someone outside of family with a beloved pet, but Corey makes it easy. From the start, he has been kind, attentive, and genuinely connected to Charlie’s needs. Whether I’m gone for a few hours or a few days, I know my dog is in capable and caring hands. Corey doesn’t just show up—he shows care. He notices the details, responds to Charlie’s energy, and handles everything with patience and warmth. Knowing Charlie is safe and happy when I can’t be there brings me tremendous peace of mind. I truly can’t recommend Corey enough. He’s dependable, compassionate, and treats your pet like his own. Thank you, Corey, for everything you do!”

Sunny R.
“Ms. Roberts was referred to me by a mutual friend and no further referrals will be needed. She did a terrific job of walking my young dog Casper. Casper is a pitbull and is very strong, Ms. Roberts had no issues controlling him. If you’d like excellent care for your dog, give Ms. Roberts a call!”
Jillian B.
“Not only is Jillie a great people-person, she is the best animal-person I know. Jillie loves and cares for animals of all sizes. There is no one else I'd rather have taking care of my pets when I am away; she goes the extra mile to lay down with, pet, and talk to my dog beyond making sure she is taken care of. It is obvious how well she takes care of them by how excited they get when Jillie comes over!”
