“Jeremy was a great sitter for our two girls. He followed our instructions and was so very, very easy to work around our schedule. He communicated daily and made us feel very comfortable. He loved on our puppers just like we do. Highly recommend Jeremy.”

“Amanda and her kids were very attentive to my dogs needs and took really great care of them. Amanda always responded when I messaged her about the dogs and sent me pics of their stay. I know my dogs can be alot to handle and I truly commend Amanda for taking care of my two dogs ontop of taking care of her 3 children! I was very pleased with how everything went. One of her children even sent my dogs home with a toy that was handmade for him! I highly recommend Amanda to sit your dogs they will be well taken care of!”

“Maya was amazing with Gojo! Sent updates everyday with photos, took him for walks, gave him all the attention he could ask for (if you know Gojo, that’s a lot of attention), and truly welcomed him into their home. Gojo was happy to see me on pickup but sad to go as well. Will definitely recommend Maya and will be bringing Gojo back in the future to play with Thor!”

About: I have a flexible schedule and work per diem in healthcare, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and love. I offer regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. During our time together, I can also teach basic tricks like sit, paw, roll over, and lay down—keeping things fun and mentally stimulating. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable, including the couches and beds. My home is smoke-free, peaceful, and full of love. I truly go the extra mile to make every pet feel like part of the family. Pet care is one of the most meaningful and fulfilling parts of my week. I work per diem in healthcare, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to caring for animals. I structure my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily routine. When pets are in my care, their comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, clean, and smoke-free environment where pets are free to relax, snuggle, and feel right at home. I take time to get to know their routines, preferences, and energy levels—whether they love to play or prefer quiet companionship. In my home, pets are allowed on furniture and beds if that’s what they’re used to, and I follow any feeding, medication, or behavior routines closely. In a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and care, keeping pets on their usual schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I believe in clear communication and always send updates, photos, and messages so you feel connected and reassured.

“Shelly was great with Kona! She sent pictures and Kona was very happy to snuggle with the family on the couch and play with her son! Very responsive and reliable. Happy to have found Shelly and will use again!”

“My dog Jamie had a great time staying with Ali over Christmas this year. Ali sent me many photos throughout Jamie's time with her, and even got Jamie a Christmas present! I will gladly use Ali again next time I'm in the Youngstown area as it's evident that she loves dogs and is a great dog-sitter.”

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.

“Ms. Chelsea demonstrated exceptional pet-sitting services during the three nights she cared for our dog, Koa. Her communication was commendable, as she consistently provided updates on Koa's well-being and shared numerous photographs. Furthermore, she exceeded our expectations by actively engaging in training sessions with Koa. We highly recommend her services and will undoubtedly entrust her with Koa's care in the future.”

About: With a passion for dogs that runs deep, I have hands-on experience training my Belgian Malinois, Eddie, for IGP and my Doberman, Moses, for basic house manners and obedience. Our adventures often lead us to hiking trails, where we bond, have fun, and enjoy the great outdoors together. My love for dogs has been a constant throughout my life, shaping my experiences and creating cherished memories with many dogs. As a dog sitter, my deep love for dogs has always been a significant part of my life. I enjoy dog sitting from my home because I work from home with a highly flexible job, enabling me to monitor the dog closely and provide constant care and attention. While dog sitting, I prioritize personalized care for each pet. With a fenced yard, dogs can enjoy outdoor play while being monitored by me or lounge inside, whether they prefer energetic activities or simply lounging on the couch. During dog sitting, I ensure clients stay updated with regular picture, video and text updates, keeping them informed and reassured about their dogs well-being. Clients can reach me anytime via phone or text while their dogs are in my care, providing peace of mind and quick communication for any updates or concerns.

“We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care our dog received! From the very beginning, our sitter was accommodating and flexible with our ever changing schedule, which gave us such peace of mind. She was also completely upfront and honest about everything communication was clear, consistent, and so appreciated. We had daily picture and video updates thay put our mind at ease. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares, and it was obvious our dog was in loving, responsible hands the whole time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their furry family member! Would definitely rebook for future outings. Thank you Athena for going above and beyond.”

“Jessica went above and beyond for me and Egypt… She’s very patient kind and spent money out of her pocket to make sure my dog ate… I make my dogs food as she’s a french bulldog and has allergies.. while I was gone my dog stopped eating the food I made.. So Jessica brought her fresh pet and made her eggs while I was away.”

Beverly A.

“Christine went above and beyond in so many ways to help us with our dog Knox. We were set to travel internationally when our plans to travel our dog changes and he was delayed for a few weeks. Christine took wonderful care of knox for 2 weeks—who got along perfectly with her dog. She made frequent trips to the dog park, baked special treats (with our concurrence), and sent frequent pictures. She managed a complex situation with the vet to get our paperwork to travel internationally. Through it all she was calm, collective and communicated exceptionally well. I recommend Christine without hesitation.”
