“Brandon was great with my mom’s dog Cassie. He sent pictures and updates, putting us at ease! He has a great set up for these dogs and I was comfortable leaving her with him! Will definitely use him again should the need arise!”

“Maya did a great job with Merlin. Not only did she take good care of him but gave him some much needed play time. She even found some new food for him that he loves. Maya went above and beyond.”

April was professional and prompt in communication and sent doggie report cards each day with pictures! She was super accommodating with our special hours for pick up and drop off. We definitely will be returning to April in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Jamie, and I’m thrilled to bring my love for animals and my 18 years of experience as a Registered Nurse to the world of pet care. I know that your pets are more than just animals—they’re family. That’s why I offer personalized pet boarding and professional dog walking services tailored to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. I take a very limited number of animals at one time so that your Furry family member will become a member of our family while they’re here! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of trust and reliability when it comes to caring for your pets! Whether it’s a cozy staycation while you’re away or a fun-filled walk to keep them active, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. ** at this time I cannot accept intact male dogs** thank you for your understanding! I work part time, I am home the majority of most days so chances are I will have availability for you! I am flexible with days and times! Last minute plans? No problem! I have a large fenced in 1/2 acre partially wooded dog run. I have multiple sized crates and smaller fenced in areas as well with plenty of space for you pooch!

“2nd time booking with Chelsea & she will always be our go to if we need day care again. Super flexible and communication is top notch. Lots of photos each day along with details of the day's activities. Our pups come home happy and tired, having spent their days playing and snuggling. Chelsea and her family are beyond fabulous!”


About: I have had a dog most of my adult life and my husband, Andrew has always had cats. We currently have a 13 year old cat, Who is extremely friendly to people and stays away from dogs. We just recently moved to Poland from Cincinnati to be closer to family. We are entrusted to watch our family’s pets when they are out of town and love and adore all guest pets in our home as if they were another part of our family. I can provide basic training I have learned over the years and can administer meds. I have a 12 year old child full-time and Andrew has a 15 and 17 year old that are with us half of the time and are very patient and gentle towards animals but your pup MUST get along with children. All of our kids have extreme affection, gentleness and patience towards all animals and live their lives at home revolving around the animals. Because of the children we do not allow Pitt bulls, Chows or Dalmatian breeds in the home. All pets must be completely secure around children or unfortunately we don’t think your loved one will be comfortable in our home. If your pup ends up showing any type of aggression towards the children, they will need to be picked up or run the risk of being crated with minimal time out of the crate, until your return. Your pet must be up to date on vaccines and must be of at least 2 years of age. My career is in IT and I work from home full-time so I will be home all day to keep your pet company. Andrew works remote as a Communications Director for a local church and also shuffles being an online student so there is almost always someone home to be with your loved one! Your dog will enjoy daily walks, or a run if they can run on a leash with me. I live in a quiet neighborhood next to the Poland Forest with a sidewalk about 10-20 ft from the road with little car traffic. We may take some adventures through the woods, as well. Depending on the stay length and dirt accumulation I will also give your pups baths to keep them smelling fresh! We spend a lot of time at home and will be able to provide your pet plenty of attention! This also allows us to be flexible with your schedule. I do not have a fenced in yard so your pet will be supervised when using the restroom. Your pet will get plenty of playtime with our kids and will have a couch, dog bed or our bed to sleep on. Whichever he/she prefers.

About: I own and have owned many types of animals. I have had a love for every pet since I was a small child. Animals have always been my passion. I have a very flexible schedule. Can do just about any time and day. I enjoy play time, walks and just keeping them company. Playing ball or fetch. We have a large fenced in yard. I am very comfortable with coming to your house to care for your animals. I have experience with reptiles, birds, cats, dogs, puppies and kittens.

About: I've lived with animals, big and small, my whole life. If there was a stray animal, all of a sudden it wasn't stray anymore. Recently got my first (working breed) puppy and doing everything I can to make sure he is well socialized and well behaved. This has given me a lot of insight on how to keep a dog mentally and physically challenged. We have also taken obedience classes. For mental challenges, we do training, hide and seek, and large variety of dog puzzles. For physical, we play with soccer ball, fetch, flirt pole, frisbee, we also have plenty of space for play. I would be happy to include your dogs in our day! Stay at home mom with pretty much full availability. We still need to be home pretty consistently for our 7 month old pup. Would just request information on crating options in case it fell on grocery day and I need to leave for an hour, but majority of the time, I am home! I care for your pet based off your given expectations. I'm home most of the day, so if you'd like me to follow a very specific set of instructions, I can do that. I know how important routines are for dogs and I can try my best to keep your dog on their routines. I will only accept dogs that have a chance to meet my dogs first, at a meet and greet. My dogs are friendly and the pup is certainly playful, so if it is a good fit, they will all have a lot of fun together! I can only accommodate care in my own home as I have small children. Children and pets are never left alone without my supervision (whether its your pet or my pet) for all parties safety. Please let me know anyway I can make you feel at ease, with updates, pictures and videos, or anything else you can think of.

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available for stays and walks in our home from Thursday until Sunday night. We work from home Thursday and Fridays so can walk them whenever needed! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

“Kayla was such sweetheart , she kept me updated with everything that was going on. Baco got injured just before he was going to stay and I was a bit worried , he would not let me get near his paw and she was able to bandage up his paw which I tough was so awesome and amazing . The home felt so welcoming and baco loved it he had the time of his life with his new friends.”


About: During the past 10 years I have volunteered with animal rescue, my local pound, and worked at a boarding facility, plus received vet tech education. I am currently focused primarily on providing pet care services and do not have any limitations being able to work at any time or date. Any pet that is allowed outside will be supervised by myself and kept on leash. If I’m caring for a pet at their home I would supervise them in fenced area or keep on leash. I’m committed to caring for your pet with their safety being most important, as I do with my own 2 small dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

About: I have been a certified dog trainer for 15 years, a boarder/sitter for 10 years, and a foster for 2. I do what I love! Pups are my full-time job so fitting them into my lifestyle is never inconvenient. Training, boarding, daytime care, or I can host your pet's birthday party with a cake or pupcakes, decorations, and fun games! All pets that come to my home are treated like my own. We have 2 acres for plenty of play space, walks, runs, and exploring. I am a dog foster and often have dogs in my home, but am able to also have your pet/pets as the only ones if preferred!

About: I am able to easily train dogs old or young and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, even usually aggressive breeds like my dog. I’m currently doordashing and make my own schedule so I’m able to include pet care into my usual routine and having my own dogs means I’m always home. I live in a apartment that has a dog park in the area. I also have two friendly dogs that can play with yours and a crate if needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom so working with rover is the perfect job for me. I can take care of dogs and my baby. I have a very large yard that your dog can run around and play in and I also can crate the dog if needed. If you have a set feeding schedule I’ll make sure to stay on that. I’ll always keep your dog company and treat your pet how I would want mine treated.

About: I’m a recent college graduate who loves dogs even more than people! I recently lost my puppy due to bone cancer he developed early on in his life. I’ve been around big and small dogs almost my entire life and would love to get to interact with more puppies (I always call dogs puppies because I see all dogs as puppies lol). Since I was a kid I’ve always felt I’ve had a deep connection to dogs and have always been able to understand what they need and want. Whether the dogs need a bath or need to go on a walk every hour on the hour I’m up for the commitment. I’m not afraid of dogs of any size and I’m ready to give my love and compassion to as many dogs as I possibly can. I work from home so I can essentially work from home anywhere as long as there is wifi available. I would like to begin with 2 days a week and if I feel the schedule and chemistry is right I could increase the days. I’m very good with dogs and if they are already on a schedule, I am happy to keep them on it. I’m a very big cuddled especially with dogs so I would mostly sit on a couch or table and keep an eye on the pet while I work and if there’s a communicative sign that they need to go outside I will take them right out. I am not on a tight schedule so I can take your pet out as often as they need.

“Abi was so great with my little buddy! So very accommodating even tho my work hours can change and I work long late shifts. She made sure he stayed warm and even tried to protect his little feet from the cold. She even made him a fancy little collar necklace. Thank you for loving my baby too!”


About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have watched every breed there is. My family and friends count on me to watch their dogs in my home or there home and take them to vet appointments if needed or grooming. appointment. I’m always here for them when they need me. I have 3 dogs of my own and 4 cats so I love animals. I’m free Monday through Friday to play with your pup or walk your pup or run errands for you and your pup. Or if you need me to sit with your pup all day. I have a fenced In yard if they come to my house. I have three dogs that will keep them company. If they need to be crated I can do that also. If I come to your house I will do what you need me to do give TLC, walk them or just play with them. I give all TLC all day long. It’s the best job in the world!
