Christina is great with my dog Sherman. She is reliable and communicative with what’s going on which I appreciate. Sherman is a big and active dog and it makes such a different that he can stretch his legs outside and get a potty break in the middle of my work day. I would highly recommend!

This was my first time using Rover and Andy was amazing! She was friendly, professional and caring towards my two cats. I was so glad to see my cats warm up to her and I loved the updates/photos Andy provided. Thanks, Andy, for putting my mind at ease while I was gone!

About: I currently cannot have my own dog but I love taking care of dogs. I have been watching some family friends’ dogs taking care of them and their home while they’re on vacation. I’m currently working a job part time on the weekends but my week days are completely free because I’m a teacher who is off for the summer. I have a fenced in yard. I also do not have any pets but my boyfriend and I love dogs! We love taking care of other people’s pets because they all have different personalities!

Mengshu and Thomas were fabulous to work with! They dropped in on my cats over the weekend. They paid extra attention to them, took a ton of photos, and even brought a toy over one day. I could definitely tell from the photos that the cats had warmed up to them very quickly. I am looking forward to booking with them for our next travels. 10/10 would recommend!

About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being

About: I have experience with senior canines who need medication administration and I also have experience with training puppies, but for right now, I only offer walking services. I have open availability and I can be available from 6am to 11am for the time being. My schedule is liable to change as far as days are concerned. I reside in a three bedroom apartment with my dog and two cats. For now, I only offer walking services, however, I do plan to have more services available in the future. (So comments and suggestions are always welcomed)

About: I started walking dogs at Cincinnati Animal Care back in 2022. I quickly found my obsession with dogs. I also take dogs out for “day trips” from the shelter to give them a break from the noisy environment. While volunteering, I met my baby and quickly adopted her. We actually have social media platforms all on how obsessed with her I am, and how much I love caring for the shelter dogs! I also walk an Italian Greyhound every weekday. 🤗 My resident dog is very high energy so im no stranger to getting the zoomies out! I currently work from home, M-F. I would be free anytime on the weekends, as my boyfriend can host my girl while I’m dogsitting! I usually wake up by 7 am, and we immediately get the day started with exercise! As a very obsessed dog mom myself, I know that it’s hard to trust a stranger to watch your dog. I treat every dog I meet like it’s my own. I truly mean it when I say dogs are my biggest hobby, so whatever the dog needs is what our day to day will entail!

About: I stand out as a sitter because I have extensive experience with senior dogs, including caring for my own pets through seizures, medications, and even diaper routines. I work from home, so I can provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’ve cared for many different breeds and temperaments, and I treat every dog like family, with patience, compassion, and reliable care. I’ve watched over 50+ dogs the last few years while being an official dogsitter with many regular clients. I work from home and I usually take a daily walk. I’ve had a pet dog majority of my life, so incorporating pet care into my routine is nothing new! I have a fenced in yard. When I dog sit at homes with no fence, I always make sure the dog is securely leashed before heading out the door. I am however, not comfortable taking dogs to the dog park. I have lots of experience caring for multiple dogs at once. However, I do usually only accept one client at a time (if you have two dogs that’s totally fine).

Lydia was fantastic! She treated our three cats with such love and care, sent us constant updates, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable while we were away. I only wish I would have found Lydia sooner, I will be calling her back any time we need to travel.

Stephanie does so well with my 2 dogs. She let them enjoy the outdoors with the back yard and going for walks. She communicated well in words and pictures. So happy she gives my senior dogs such great care since I am out of town a lot and get her on a repeat basis.

Abby truly can do it all!!! She always is so attentive and caring towards my animals. I have had her do drop ins for my senior dog and puppy (in all the puppy stages) when I’m away. She can handle it all from my older Belly’s seizure meds, incontinence, and picky eating habits to Xany’s crazy pup energy, always wanting walks and cuddles and playtime. Abby is communicative and sends lots of cute pics of her visits which gives me peace of mind and joy. My older dog also isn’t really a people person, but she likes Abby and feels safe with her which is the most important. Beyond grateful that Abby lives nearby our home <3

Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.

Absolutely the most amazing person to watch your animals. So kind and caring. Truly the most amazing human I ever met. She stepped in to help when I was in a crisis situation and took the care of my dogs so it was one less thing I had to worry about. I can never thank her enough.
