About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I have a dog and cat of my own and I will treat your pets with the same love and respect I have for my fur babies! I am a hairdresser part time, so I have plenty of time during early afternoons and evenings to do drop ins, walks, and check ins! I will respect your home while doing drop in, by keeping my attention fully on your pets while giving them all love and attention they need!
About: I’ve been lucky enough to be trusted with baby sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting for the past 10+ years. I pride myself on building honest and positive relationships that last and would be honored to be trusted with your home and/or animals! With a rescue pup of my own, I can promise to provide the same unconditional love and commitment to your sweeties, as I do my own. I am an educator who works part time over the summers! I also only live about 6 minutes from my part time job which gives me the opportunity to have an extremely open and flexible schedule! I am extremely observant and pay attention to detail. As an educator, it is my job to be able to multitask while also fostering emotional and comfort needs. I make sure to do everything to the fullest including following your needs and anticipating what your loved one may want/need next!

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life! I grew up surrounded by dogs, and my mom owned a pet-sitting business, so caring for other people’s pets was a big part of my childhood. I helped care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including walking, feeding, playtime, and administering medications as instructed. I’ve also owned dogs of my own since I was 22 and currently have an English Bulldog and a Dachshund mix. During the week, I’m a pediatric physical therapist and mom of three boys. Mondays are my day off, and I decided I couldn’t think of a better way to spend some of that time than getting outside, staying active, and hanging out with dogs! My healthcare background has made me dependable, attentive to detail, comfortable following specific instructions, and very aware of safety. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I work as a pediatric physical therapist Tuesday through Friday, which leaves my Mondays open. I’m looking forward to spending my day off doing something I genuinely enjoy—getting outside, staying active, and spending time with dogs! I have flexibility throughout the day on Mondays for walks and drop-in visits, making it easy for me to give each pup plenty of time, attention, and care without feeling rushed. I care for every dog in their home as if they were my own. I know dogs are happiest and most comfortable when their normal routine is maintained, so I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and safety is always a priority. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can feel confident knowing they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every dog like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as senior dogs who may prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m attentive to body language and behavior and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort at all times. Whether your dog needs an active walk, some extra exercise and playtime, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, leash preferences, and other special needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. I'm currently in a remote position making my scheduling flexible, thus my schedule is open all 7 days throughout the week. I look forward to hearing what you need! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and respect while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. For walks, I use safe leash-handling practices and stay attentive to my surroundings, other animals, traffic, and anything that could make a pet uncomfortable or unsafe. I never rush a dog and adjust the pace and length of the walk based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. I’m respectful of your home, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet has access to fresh water and anything else you’ve provided for their care. I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit and communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being cared for as if they were my own.
“Maddie is great! My cat instantly recognized her love for animals when he approached her :) I got cute photos and details of the walks. She is patient with my senior dog who needs extra time going up the stairs which is much appreciated.”

“Susan is an excellent walker! She clearly loves dogs and takes the time to build a relationship with them. She is thorough - sends updates and pictures. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I’m 28 years old a stay at home mom looking for a side job I’m a huge animal lover so why not pet sit! I have worked in a vet office caring for animals big and small. I also oweNed horses and goats and worked on a farm as well. I have two dogs and three cats of my own . I also have worked in an animal resort as well I helped with grooming walking and feeding the animals. I’m a kind hearted genuine person and I will treat your pet like my own . I’m usually free through the day besides picking up my oldest from school around 3:00pm but I’m an open book . I can do any day of the week I’m a stay at home mom.

“Melanie was so friendly and really went above and beyond. Even in this brutally cold weather! I would call on her again when the opportunity arises. Thanks, Melanie!”

“Mark was so great with our dog. He is a senior pup who needed his exercise while my mom had an injury and couldn’t take him out. My mom would not stop talking about what a nice young man Mark is and how much she and the dog liked him. He was also very accommodating towards us and some of our requests. Highly recommend mark!”

About: I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 20 years and just recently decided to stay home with my kids full time. Pet sitting has always been something I’ve done on the side for family and friends, but now that I have more time available, I’m very excited to be able to love and care for your fur babies just like they were my own! I am currently available for daily walks and 2 potty breaks per day, and of course PLAY TIME! I also offer drop in services if you do not feel your pet needs a walk or additional exercise. I am available for any and all of your pet care needs, and with 20 yrs of previous veterinary experience, I am also comfortable giving both oral medications and injectables for diabetic patients. I love being around all animals because they provide a great sense of calm and familiarity for me. I always treat a client’s pet just as I would my own and they will receive endless love & attention while in my care. I do work part time during the week and have two young boys at home- while we are a very active family, I can usually carve out time even on work days for drop in visits or walks.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals over the years (including cattle, horses, pigs, goats). I’ve worked as a vet tech and in a rescue that had 70+ animals, many with health issues. I have a keen eye for things that are “off” in pets. I have post-op care experience for my own cat that was born with a severe congenital condition and I slept on my bathroom floor for a month so he wasn’t alone. I’ve taken care of neonatal kittens and have experience tube feeding. I have lots of experience popping pills down throats with easy-spicy pets. I only work part time during the week so I have a lot of time to care for pets year round. I am also available on weekends. I currently own 10 rescues (9 cats, 1 dog), most have health issues and are prescription food and medications so I know the importance of them! I have several litterboxes around my house and basement which are cleaned twice a day. The dog goes for a walk every 2 hours. My animals are fed twice a day and get fresh water twice a day. I’m at the vet frequently with my most recent fur baby due to his congenital condition. I am always willing to take any animal to the vet!
“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 am a very passionate, attentive, and empathetic person when it comes to any and all animals! For many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care to include special needs pets. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. This knowledge was also accentuated professionally as I worked alongside military police K9 handlers during my time in the Air Force. Not to worry though, I mix structure, routine, and discipline with plenty of tender loving care, and know how to tune my approach to dogs of all temperaments. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I'm a full-time nomad and side gigs are my primary source of income. Pet care IS my weekly routine. I'm available and more than happy to abide by the normal 9-5 schedule for daytime pet care, but I can also easily adjust to fit any alternate schedule; whether you need overnight pet care, or any other odd schedule constraints met, I am available. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.
About: I am a dedicated petsitter who provides excellent services to your furry friend. I pay attention to detail in their behavior, health, and even the routines. As you choose my services, you can trust that your furry companion will receive the love and attention they deserve and that you'll always be in the loop about their care. I currently have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur baby. I do take same-day visits, however, please note I will not always be available due to my work schedule. Rest assured the fur baby will always be played with and snuggled from time to time. Do let me know if they have a restricted schedule. I normally help with refreshing my clients dogs water bowl at every meal, take them out to use the restroom, and play with them. If there are set guidelines, a printed form of the steps would be highly suggested. In addition, you always will be communicated.
About: With 15+ years of experience, I’m great with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I bring patience, reliability, and a genuine love that sets me apart. I’m skilled in walks, feedings, meds, and making pets feel safe and happy. I am a student at Northern Kentucky University, but with classes only for a few short hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available to care for your fur babies any day of the week, any time. I offer loving care in my home or yours, depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s cozy sleepovers with my friendly dog or visits in their own space, I tailor each service to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free!
About: Multi-pet owner with experience caring for giant breeds, puppies & seniors anxious dogs, reactive dogs, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I provide patient, reliable care tailored to them. Whether your pet needs extra space, structure, or just lots of love, I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I work from home, so boarded pets have lots of attention and outside time often. I’m right next to a park with lots of trails, so I’m happy to incorporate walks as requested! I have a privacy fenced yard, with pet friendly turf and lots of space to play! My pets are social and love to play, but my home is also set up to be able to safely separate all pets if yours needs personal space.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have had multiple dogs, two cats, and a ball python for over 13 years! In addition to my experience as a pet owner, I have also volunteered at the Cincinnati Zoo in various capacities for 3 years now, where I have learned techniques in animal care relating to a variety of species from mammals to reptiles to birds. I am currently pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with the hope to some day work with animals professionally. I was a member of my high schools zoology and marine biology clubs for all 4 years and also founded a beekeeping club. I am currently a college student looking to pet sit during school breaks. I will be in town and available December 13-31 of this year. I offer free meet and greets and I will not have another job at this time and so can be quite flexible to you/your pets needs. I can come over at regular time frames to walk, provide food and water, play, and spend time with your pet. I also offer overnight stays and can accommodate irregular schedules.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started pet sitting for neighbors at 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and other small pets. I’ve volunteered walking dogs and caring for cats in animal shelters and am comfortable administering medications and caring for both young and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of dependable care, communication, and maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time at a café, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. Outside of work, I prioritize providing attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and companionship to the pets I care for. I communicate regularly with owners and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine while they’re away. My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During visits, I make sure pets have secure access to appropriate areas, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away. I am experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and amphibians, and I adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.
