About: Before moving to Cincinnati, I worked in many different pet care settings. I worked for a dog walking/sitting company in Nashville known as Preferred Pets, worked as a bather at the Paw Pad in Canton, worked for Pet Valu when I was in college at Kent State, and as a local dog walker in my neighborhood growing up. I’m very dedicated to the wellbeing of any animal I have the privilege of working with and look forward to seeing each and every pet. Every animal gets guaranteed love, attention, exercise, and play when I’m with them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, aggressive dogs, shy dogs, excited dogs, and every kind in between. No matter the size, age, temperament, or breed, I always dedicate my entire self to the animals under my care. I work full time 7p-5p M-F so if you need a night time or weekend walker, I’m the one for your pet! I’m always available throughout the nights as well. Throughout my professional experience with dogs I have always put their safety first. This includes knowing the major signs of stress dogs display, and recognizing quick temperament changes. I also have been taught proper ways to walk certain dogs depending on how much of a puller they are!
About: I am a lifelong pet lover. Would love to care for yours. Love the seniors and can give meds. Walks and playtime are the best! I am retired. Monday morning I volunteer at Ohio Cat Resource (OAR) and Wednesday is taking care of human nephew during business hours. Mostly flexible rest of the time I am happy to care for your pet at your home. I am retired and flexible. I would treat your pet and home with TLC

About: I have been around dogs since I was young and know just what to do to make your fur baby feel safe and cared for. I am responsible and trustworthy and would love to give you peace of mind. I am available for walks/drop-ins in the evening and weekends, full time care on the weekends, and walks on the weekends/evenings. I will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I will care for your pets in the same way you do so your pet’s routine isn’t interrupted! You can trust me to adhere to all rules set by you!
“Katie was wonderful and went above and beyond for us and our pups. The dogs clearly loved her on her first visit with us, and i can’t tell they felt safe and at ease with her while we were away. I highly recommend booking with her! I was anxious about leaving my babies for a week, but Katie’s care helped me have peace of mind.”
About: I have been a dog owner for many years. My family and friends have relied on me to watch their pets while they are out of town, both cats and dogs. I have a really flexible work schedule, which would allow me to make mid-day pop ins. I am available for dog walking, which I am most interested in! I am flexible to stay in the client’s home or my own. My dog is older and gentle, but if someone needs a no-pet home or need me to stay at their home, my dog can stay with other family nearby.

Ethan P.
“I was pleased to hear that Ethan has decided to become a dog caregiver. Ethan worked for me as a Pet Stylist Assistant at The Paw Pad llc and always gave each dog such an amazing experience. He is a creative and dedicated petlover who always went above and beyond for each pet. Ethan is a motivated employee and an excellent leader. Although he was an assistant in the salon, he took the initiative to welcome each new pet parent and made sure each dog left with their tail wagging and wanting to come back to see him. I can enthusiastically recommend him to care for any dog as if they were his own.”
Heather B.
“Heather is absolutely wonderful! I felt so safe leaving my three kitties in her care- including one on medication. She sent me pictures every time she stopped by to feed them, which helped me relax, knowing my cats were being cared for. She took the time to play with them every day. I would absolutely recommend her and will have her take care of my babies next time I’m gone.”

“Lauren is my top choice for pet sitting. She stays at my house and sends frequent updates and photos, which always put my mind at ease. Lauren keeps the place spotless and leaves everything exactly as I left it. When I return, the cats act like I never left! I highly recommend Lauren for anyone looking to have their pets cared for with love and attention!!”

Hannah C.Star Sitter
“Hannah would make a great dog sitter because she loves pets of all kinds and especially dogs. She is a great dog mom to 10 year old Spencer Reid the energetic border collie. She was always willing to take my lab, Daisy with just a moments notice. ⁶⁶⁶ She would also be a great dog walker, because she regularly walks Spencer 4 miles or more from her home which is near several parks and the riverfront.”
Maria F.
“This was the first time I used Rover, and I would 100% use it again! Maria was wonderful in communicating throughout my time away and was so loving to June.”
