About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and extensive experience with dogs of all ages, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, SubQ, IM) and can handle everything from bathing and walking to drop-ins. Friends and family often rely on me for their pets' needs, knowing they’ll receive the best care while they’re away. I’m currently available every day for your pet sitting, walking, and drop-in needs. I live in the Norwood/Oakley area and love getting my steps in while ensuring your pets have the support they need while you’re away! Your pets will be in excellent hands with me. Our home features a small, secure yard and hardwood floors with HVAC for their comfort. If your pet is crate-trained, we’re happy to use their crate. Our neighborhood offers fantastic walking routes, ensuring plenty of exercise and exploration. Rest assured, safety and trust are my top priorities, and your pets will enjoy a cozy and caring environment while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!

“Hannah is the best & so sweet to cali!”
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.
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!
About: I have had many sitting jobs and always give my best care to my clients, their house, their pets and have always been super reliable I am a Xavier alumni and I am a current graduate student at Mount St. Joseph University and I get done with classes in the afternoon. I am available on most weekends as well. I will always make sure to follow any instructions to provide the best care and will always be interactive with the pet and the client
About: Hello! My name is Akita, located in the Cincinnati, Ohio/NKY area. Wouldn’t you like to have your dog cared for by someone who just absolutely loves dogs; well that would be me. I am a pet mom of eleven years to two beautiful dogs and have experience in caring for small, medium, large and extremely large dogs. Also those that require medication, special needs or specific care are welcome. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, for overnight stays, dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, outside breaks and pretty much anything you may require for your dog daily. Let me know if I can be of service to you. I look forward to spending time with your dogs very soon. Enjoy the balance of your day. I currently work from home and have ample time for your pets. I'm available during the week and weekends. I’m sure we can find a time to play and care for your fur baby. I have a partially fenced yard and a friendly dog for companionship, his name is Oso. Crating is available if needed, ensuring your pup feels comfortable and safe.
“Carson took great care of my two kitties! She sent photos every time she visited them, which helped me feel like they were in good hands while I was away. I greatly appreciate Carson, she's a trustworthy pet-sitter and I'll definitely book her again!”
About: I grew up with a number of cats and dogs in my home, and began caring for other pets when I was in high school. I’ve now had a dog of my own for 6years that I care for along with my husband and so enjoy any other animal interaction I get! I am reliable, punctual and communicative. If booking for an overnight stay in our home, my husband will also be helping with pet care and adores pets as much as I do. I’m currently in grad school, so I have more flexibility than someone with a 9-5. Each day is different, but I can often make time in my day depending on what is needed. More flexibility over the summer months. Again, if your dog is staying in our home, my husband will also act as another person caring for your pet. If you prefer I watch a dog in my home, I will want my dog to meet your dog first. If that relationship works, I’ll care for your little one like my own during their stay. Otherwise, I will make sure to give your pet as much attention and love as I can, and complete all your requirements outlined. I do not do overnight pet care in another home unless you are known to me personally however.

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.”
Lauren G.
“Lauren is an AMAZING pet sitter! She is dependable, trustworthy, and very comfortable with pets - as she is a cat parent herself. I was gone for nearly 2 weeks out of state, so I needed someone to check on my cat, Phoebe. Phoebe requires oral medication and likes human connection / company, so Lauren was able to check on her, administer medication, and send check in photos and videos. Phoebe was a happy girl and my mind was at ease while on my vacation.”

“Hannah was amazing when helping us take care of our puppy Leo. He is usually pretty anxious around new people but he immediately warmed up to Hannah! She was very responsible and easy to book when we have needed her the most. Thanks Hannah for your amazing care!”
Akita J.
“Akita is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. We have used her service on several occasions, the last one for a period of three weeks. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. Above all, Akita is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request.”

Gabrielle T.
“I am writing to highly recommend Gabby for the position of pet sitter. Gabby has consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of care and dedication to animals, treating them with the same love and attention as she does her own pets. Her innate ability to connect with animals is remarkable, and she prioritizes their comfort and well-being above all else. Gabby is not only a compassionate and giving individual towards people, but she also excels in her care for animals. She is meticulous in monitoring their health and habits, ensuring they receive optimal care. I have entrusted Gabby with the care of my young and energetic pit bull, whose behavior can be quite chaotic. Despite this, Gabby has managed to handle him with ease and confidence. Her keen ability to understand and respond to an animal’s needs is unparalleled. I have witnessed countless instances where pets naturally gravitate towards her, feeling immediately at ease in her presence. Gabby ensures that each animal feels special, receives ample playtime, and, most importantly, remains safe and secure under her supervision. Furthermore, Gabby puts 100% effort into everything she does. Her passion for animal care, combined with her reliability and attentive nature, makes her an outstanding candidate for any pet sitting position. I have complete trust in her abilities and wholeheartedly recommend her for this role.”

Sheila is a very responsible pet setter and knowledgeable about training as well. I have a new rescue who requires more TLC, and she understood that his sad history would require loads of patience which she has exhibited lovingly. I would definitely recommend her for any pet care.Services.
Taylor is the best cat sitter we have ever had! She is so attentive and communicative. The kitties loved her instantly and she gave very detailed updates and tons of pictures. We will definitely be using her services again!!
Julie was amazing! She took care of our girls as if they were her own family. She was prompt, attentive, and kept us aware of how the girls were while we were away. She was our first dog "sitter" that wasn't family and we will use her again. Thankful we connected with her and that she could take care for our family members while we were traveling.
Lauren made our nervous dogs feel safe and secure immediately. She made sure to be on time for each visit and gave lots of pats and belly rubs. Can’t wait to have her help out again!
Emma and William were true lifesavers for our boy Thompson Thompson. He had been having some health issues and we were worried about him being alone while we left for 10 days. But William and Emma stepped up and not only relieved our anxiety, but became good friends of Thompson. They took great care of him, giving him his daily medicine, cleaning his litter box and spending time with him in our home. Seeing that he was fine at home allowed us to enjoy our trip without anxiety because we knew he was in great hands.
Letizia is superb with Jade and Cleo. She has been such a great help to us over the last couple years! We love all of her pictures and videos of the cats she sends us while we’re away! We always know they’re safe and taken care of while we’re away. I would recommend her to anyone!
Megan has been an absolute godsend. She’s taken care of our cat a couple of times now and been very flexible and accommodating.
Molly watched Rocky & Daisy for me. She was great about being on time & walking them an extra distance to wear them out! One of the dogs was sick on the carpet and she took the time to clean it up & let me know. Greatly appreciated! I’ll be using her again to take care of my fur babies in the future!
Abby was great with Remy! Followed his normal routine and was very good with communication! Will definitely use her in the future!
Darya was incredible! I never leave my dogs when we go in trips and so I was scared to leave but I’m so glad we found her! She was in time for every visit. She even came for a meet and greet before we left which helped relieve a lot of my anxiety of leaving my dogs behind. She was good with my Sr. Dig and with my young dog. She even leashed them up and took them for little walks. She stayed the full time each visit and did everything we asked and sent tons of cute pictures. I would definitely book her again!!
paris was amazing! she always provided updates and communicated when she was coming over, and always responded to my questions and requests quickly. my cat absolutely loved her and was a lot less lonely with me gone. she’ll definitely be my first pick to rebook when i go out of town again!!!
Morgan made the effort to come to my house to meet my dogs ahead of our scheduled drop in. She was always quick to respond and even picked up trash in my backyard so the dogs wouldn’t get into it. I really appreciate someone like Morgan taking care of my babies while away.
I had Mackenzie watch my cats for the week and tend to their basic needs. A very simple Rover booking, would have been hard to mess up. No issues on it, she did a nice job.
Jenny did a great job looking after my two kitties while I was away for over a week. Normally they’re quite spooked by new faces, but she had them out and about within a day or two
Emily took great care of our two cats while we were away. She was always in communication, giving updates and sending pictures, and went above and beyond when we asked for extra help with small items. We were very comfortable knowing that our cats were so well taken care of. We will definitely book with Emily again. Thank you!
Awesome sitter!!! She was super attentive to my pets and would totally recommend her to anyone needing a sitter :)
