“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”

“Brooke was amazing! She was super responsive and sent daily pics of the doggies. She was extra flexible when our flights were delayed and we asked if she could stay an extra night. 100% recommend.”

About: I have been a passionate pet owner and caretaker since I was 9 years old. Growing up with dogs and now the owner of two cats, I learned early on how to understand their body language and fun personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a calm senior cat, I treat every animal like family. I currently work a full time job, but I only go into the office twice a week. I am available to work from your home if needed to provide company to your pet. I am also available for morning and evening feeding, as well as weekend visits too. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I strictly follow instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I send daily photo updates and messages through Rover to give owners peace of mind. I also respect the home by cleaning up after the pets, keeping the space tidy, and following all household rules.
“Cecilia is a great dogsitter! She’s very communicative, which helped me to feel at ease leaving my dog with her while I was gone. She followed all of the instructions I left and took great care of Murph and my apartment.”

“Chris was extremely professional, reliable and kept us in the loop while house sitting our pup! She was very detail oriented and made sure Hudson was well taken care of during our trip. Would highly recommend and will use her again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will regularly keep you updated with visits and can follow whatever special instructions necessary! I’ll treat your pet like family and hopefully keep them from missing you too much. I have a background in teaching swim, which has taught me lots of patience, responsibility, and carefulness. While I am currently away at school, at home I took care of my 2 dogs - feeding them daily, walking them twice a week, and bathing them biweekly. This was part of my responsibilities at home and still help with them when I go home to visit. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will do my best to ensure they feel comfortable and are sticking to their normal routine. I will respect your, and their space and give them lots of love!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, puppies, senior dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and guinea pigs. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy who needs patience and consistency, or providing gentle, attentive care for a senior dog with a slower pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own! When I’m not at the barn riding horses, I love spending my downtime outdoors, especially taking walks after work to unwind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. While I’d love to have a dog of my own someday, I’m not in a position to right now, so I cherish every opportunity to spend time with furry friends. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Monday and Friday evenings work best for me, and my weekend availability depends on what I have planned. That said, I’m flexible and will do my best to make my schedule work whenever possible! For dog walks, I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water afterward if needed, and lots of love and attention along the way. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s avoiding certain routes, reinforcing training, administering simple care like wiping paws, or giving treats with your permission. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and stress-free while treating your dog like they’re my own.
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter for my two dogs! She was very responsive and reached out when she had questions. I even got photo updates of the dogs! I will be using Alyssa again on my next trip in a few weeks.”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.

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.
“Courtney took great care of my pup! She is very reliable, super sweet, and Honey was a very happy and content dog when we got home. I could tell they spent a lot of quality time together!”

“Andrew was very accommodating and was very great at communication. He was timing and treated our dogs just as his own. You can definitely trust him with your dogs & home! We will be using Andrew again for future sittings!”


“Drew is awesome. Really took great care of our house and our adult dog. He clearly cares about dogs and I appreciated him being so responsive and respectful of our home. Drew is a gem! I hope to hire him again soon.”

“Nikka did an amazing job caring for our two dogs for the week. She stayed in constant contact, sending pictures every day. We never doubted that our dogs weren’t in the best of care. Highly recommend! Thank you Nikka!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Crystal was absolutely fabulous; she went above and beyond to provide phenomenal care for our Golden. Crystal is conscientious, thorough, and very competent. She doted on Dawson throughout the days she stayed in our home, sent constant updates and photos and kept our very energetic pup entertained. Crystal was a very courteous house guest as well. I highly recommend Crystal .
Jody was phenomenal during her stay with Bella. Her communication was fantastic, and she was so sweet with Bella. Just before our trip, Bella had to start a bunch of medicines, and Jody handled the last-minute, complicated medicine and feeding schedule amazingly. Cannot recommend Jody enough!

Hadley was amazing!! She went above and beyond helping me with Beau - she was willing to move her work schedule around to make sure Beau got his medication without any issues, she was super communicative and sent me pictures/updates daily, and took great care of my house! I typically leave Beau with family/friends but will definitely be rebooking with Hadley in the future if she is available, I cannot say enough great things!

Sara is amazing!! We were blown away by how involved & thorough she was while watching our dog. She sent great updates, got our dog out of the house and having fun (even a trip to the park!) and, bonus, left the house better than she found it. We returned to a happy dog, who looked like she had a blast while we were gone! I would recommend Sara in a heartbeat!
