“It had been a bit since my pup visited Lauren but like always she jumped out of the car excited to be there for the day. She always loves hanging with Lauren.”


“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”



“Pamela is the absolute best!! She was flexible when something came up and I needed a sitter earlier than anticipated, and she was so gentle and welcoming to my puppy Fig. She sent photo updates and a video of her playing which made me feel right at ease. Would recommend her 10000 times over!!!”


“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”


About: I have had pets my entire life. During the pandemic, we lost our 17 year old ShiTzu and our 14 year old rescue collie mix within months of each other. We now have two SPCA rescue cats and last June we welcomed Annie, a golden doodle. She is the friendliest and happiest dog we’ve ever known! I work in the field of education part time with most of the summer off. I live in the village of Mariemont close to many parks. I also have a fenced in backyard should I decide to provide care in my home. I live in a charming walkable village with plenty of green space. My home has a fenced in backyard, and I currently have two rescue cats one is solely indoor only and the other is both indoors and out. We recently added an adorable golden doodle to our family. All pets are up to date on vaccines and flea & tick treatments always. I have over 40 years experience as a pet owner and look forward to caring for your pet as well.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pet care and experienced with administering medications, including injections. I take pride in reading animal body language, knowing when they need space, and building trust at their pace. Whether it’s a nervous cat, an excitable puppy, or a gentle giant, I meet each animal with patience, calm energy, and genuine care. I work fully remote from home with an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, medication schedules, or just being a calming presence for pets who need companionship, I can adapt my routine to meet a wide range of needs. I treat all animals as I would my own fur babies, with love, attention and respect. In my home, pets are free to roam in a safe, puppy-proof environment, with baby gates used as needed for comfort or boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the time to understand each owner’s preference and routines, ensuring their pets feel secure and cared for just as they would be by their family/

About: I’m passionate about dogs and offer personalized care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or administering medication, I ensure your dog feels safe and loved.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a spacious outdoor area for supervised playtime. While the yard is fully fenced, I ensure your pet is closely monitored during outdoor time. I also have a cat, and I make sure all pets are introduced and get along well. When caring for your pet in your home, I stick to their routine and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being

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 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! My schedule is flexible and self directed. 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'm happy to 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!

Marie was so sweet and was so kind as to drop them back off at our house after she was finished watching them so I could continue enjoying my birthday party! Our pups were super happy when they arrived back home and we will definitely book with Marie again. ❤️
