“Leann is amazing. She is prompt, caring, and thorough. My cat is well taken care for if it’s just a day to even a couple of weeks. Leann scoops the litter box almost daily, plays and snuggles with my cat, makes sure to refill the water or food feeder, and especially knows how to administer oral medication for my little fur baby. Bonus points too for amazing photos. Highly recommend!”

“Ioana was excellent. Great communication throughout, and really helped put our minds at ease knowing someone was there to look out for our cats. Would recommend!”

“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

“Vanessa was awesome with my dogs while I was out of town! She was very communicative and reliable, which is exactly what a helicopter parent like me needs. I would definitely hire her again.”

Adrienne M.

“Abby was kind enough to let me book her last minute. She was friendly, considerate, and so good with my cat Tobi. She updated each visit with photos and made me feel at ease that Tobi is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future! Highly recommend Abby”

“Jessica has been wonderful! We were looking for someone because our regular pet sitter is on vacation, and we’ve really appreciated what Jessica has done. We may actually end up switching to her because she spends so much time with our dogs. She’s communicated, sent photos, and updated us on what’s going on. She checks in as she arrives and checks out when she leaves. Very much appreciate the great work she’s doing!”

About: Hi! I’m Tracy — a lifelong animal lover with a Masters and PhD in environmental policy from The Ohio State University. My background reflects how deeply I care about the well-being of all creatures, great and small. Caring for pets isn’t a side gig for me; it’s something that’s been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with three wonderful dogs of various sizes, and as an adult I’ve had a large dog of my own, two small dogs, and a cat. One of my pups was adopted from a shelter, two came to me from foster parents, and my cat was a stray who chose our home — so I’m very comfortable with pets who have unique personalities, histories, or special needs. I’m gentle, patient, and very responsible. Whether your pet needs a long walk, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. You can expect great communication, attention to detail, and a genuine love for your furry family member. I would be honored to earn your trust and care for your pets like they’re my own. 💛🐶🐾 I'm currently a home-maker, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pet's needs. I have openings 7 days a week, mornings, afternoons and evenings. I prefer to come to your home to tend to your pet. I do have a fenced in yard for my dogs, but my terrier mix can be a little bossy. I'm always open to having your pet meet my terrier though if you'd like your fur baby to stay for a visit at our house.

“This was our second time booking with Heather! She is very responsive and sends great pictures with funny commentary :) She always asks if she is unsure about something. We will be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I was a vet assistant and specialized in “difficult “ pets. I will go at your pets speed, whatever helps them be more comfortable. If your pet needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.

“I am really sad that I can only give Chase five stars. She was wonderful. Polite, prompt and very reliable. She treated my dog, Cooper, like he was her own. I loved receiving updates while I was gone knowing he was getting the attention, care and love he deserves. Chase was quick to ask questions and responds to text and email in a very timely fashion. If you hadn't booked with Chase yet - you need to!”

“Paige was a fantastic sitter. She watched my dog over Christmas and made sure he was safe during the snow storm. Paige went above and beyond to make sure he was okay and the house was protected from the cold spell. I will be asking her to watch Sal again!”

“This is the best cat sitting experience I have ever had. Even when I’ve had friends or family check in on my baby in the past no one has ever been this communicative, detail oriented, and naturally supportive. My cat can get a little feisty and Mattea was so sweet and kind to her. She warmed up and they played every visit. She did things I usually have to ask or remind people about without me mentioning it and sent so many photos which helped ease my mind while on my work trip. If I could give more stars, I truly would.”

“Zach is an excellent communicator and caretaker for my animals. Have enjoyed his assistance while I was away and would highly recommend for anyone's fur babies.”

“Merri was so fantastic to coordinate and communicate with, and I'm sure Yuka loved her visits because he got to go outside! Merri is trustworthy and I appreciate the effort into doing a meet and greet to familiarize herself with Yuka.”

“Laura is wonderful!!! She has been great with our pups and always timely, respectful, and kind. We love getting photo updates from her as well. Would absolutely recommend her!”

About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.
