“Tammy was outstanding with our precious boys. Butch and Sundance. So attentive, kind and respectful of our home. Without any hesitation we would definitely have Tammy care for our babies and home. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. It was definitely our pleasure to meet Tammy and our boys were so cared for and loved. We are so grateful!”


“Having Kari stay with our cat, Clancy, for 8 days while we were away was fantastic — and such a relief. Kari sent us daily pictures and videos of Clancy so we had a good sense of his contentment and well-being. Kari is so caring about animals and takes her responsibilities to them very seriously. She followed our specific instructions perfectly and we arrived home to a healthy, happy cat! I highly recommend Kari for any pet-sitting need you may have!”


“Allison was a wonderful house-sitter in every way! She was patient and skilled with our three pups. She followed all of our care instructions, sent frequent photos and updates, and asked questions as needed. We could tell that our pups quickly were comfortable with Allison, so we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We returned to happy dogs, and our house was as tidy and clean as when we left. We will definitely use Allison again!”



“Susan was GREAT! She stayed at our house with our 2 furbabies for 5 days. Our girls warmed up to her very quickly (we think they even miss her) and she sent lots of pictures to keep us updated on how they were all doing. The house was clean and tidy (she even stripped and remade the bed!) upon our return. Thank you, Susan!! We will definitely be seeing you again!”



“Angel did a wonderful job with house sitting/pet sitting for me for a week. Plenty of updates and pictures and clear communication. She went above and beyond for my boys and I am very grateful. I will definitely be using her services in the future and would definitely recommend Angel if you want peace of mind while you're away from your pets.”

“By far the best sitter we have ever had! We were in a pinch when we got scammed from another sitter, and we asked Meghan to watch our pups last minute for 9 days. She quickly accepted and came over the same day we contacted her. She was great with our home and our dogs…she sent daily updates, checked our mail, and even cleaned the house up a bit. Such a great sitter, we will always see if she is available first from now on! Thank you Meghan!!”


“We love Kassidey and will be using her again. She was so attentive to our babies and never left them unless absolutely necessary. Her communication was top-tier and we knew our babies were safe with her. Consider her first if you’re near Oxford!”


“Noa did a phenomenal job taking care of my boys. She made sure they were good, sent plenty of pictures and videos and even stayed longer sometimes to make sure they weren’t by themselves too long. Would definitely recommend and use again! They were in great hands”


“Ashleigh was amazing with Ralphie and we would ask her to watch him again in a heartbeat! She was very communicative, super friendly, and great to work with. She sent us loads of updates and pictures and videos throughout the night!”


“Kandice house-sat for us for almost 3 weeks while we were out of the country, and she took excellent care of our (60 lbs and very stubborn) dog and 2 cats. She frequently sent us updates and kept in close communication throughout our trip. We were delighted to return to a clean house and happy animals!”


About: I will love your dog as my own! I have always had a special connection with dogs and I get so much love and enjoyment from being in their presence! Have no worries, your dog will be loved like you are still there! I make my own schedule so that makes my availability extra flexible. Pets are my priority, anything else I have to do, fits in around my taking care of them. I will sit in your home and make sure your dogs feel comfortable with me in their territory. Most dogs are more comfortable at home, so I’ll make sure I fit right in to their surroundings to make the experience a special one for all.

About: Hi. My name is Misty R. I have had pets all my life. I have never met a dog, cat, chicken, etc I didn't like. I love animals. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and loving it like my own. I personally have cats and dogs both so I know how important it is to take care of them and keep them safe. I want to provide peace of mind while your away at work or on vacation. To love and protect your pet and spoil it if allowed. I live in Eaton, Ohio and am willing to travel outside of town if need be. I hope this intro helps. If anything schedule your dates and we can meet. Hopefully I can help you with your pets. If ypu have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Trustworthy! Retired Military! I currently work 7 to 3 full time. However I can get up early beforehand and drop by and after and in the evenings. Whatever you prefer! I have a fenced in yard. I can also crate your pet depending on what you prefer. I can also come to your home and do as you wish.

About: I have always had at least one dog in my house from the moment I was born! I have been around all types of dogs, from large breeds to small. When I was 14, I was able to get my own dog in addition to our family dog. I have raised him from 3 months old to now (almost 9 years old) and have poured every ounce of love into him! He is a very attached dog with a lot of anxiety bundled into him, so I have experience with that! Our family dog lives until the age of 15, so I have experience with senior care and the extra love it takes to care for them. I have always been asked by friends and family to watch their pets because I promise to love them like my own. I am also a physician assistant student, so I do have a background in medicine and am trustworthy in various aspects. I am a physician assistant student getting ready to start clinical rotations in a few weeks. My schedule will really depend on what clinical rotation I am in. Some will only be a few days a week, while others will be every day. Feel free to reach out to see what we can work out! I have a huge yard at my home with no neighbors and a long lane away from any highway. I never let my dog outside without someone with him the entire time day or night. When visiting another home, my care is dependent on what is requested of me. If a client prefers a leash at all times outside, that is what I do. If there is a specific routine, I make sure to follow it. Dogs and cats are very routine oriented, and a stranger entering can already cause stress and anxiety, so I try to help with that in anyway I can. Only their owner knows them best!
