“Brandon was a great house and dog sitter for the weekend. He was respectful and reliable. Communication was open and he was always quick to reply. Our dog can be male reactive as well but Brandon took his time and had patience when getting to know him. Absolutely would recommend and will use for his service again.”

“This was our first time using a pet sitter and Karla did a great job. She answered all our questions. Karla was on time and respectful of our house. She took excellent care of our dog and two cats. Karla walked our dog and played the laser mouse with all the pets. We received cute pictures of our pets also. We would definitely book Karla again in the future and recommend her to other pet owners.”
About: Hi. My name is Misty. I have had pets all my life. I have never met a dog, cat, chicken, etc I didn't like. I love animals. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and loving it like my own. I personally have a cat and two dogs so I know how important it is to take care of them and keep them safe. I want to provide peace of mind while your away at work or on vacation. To love and protect your pet and spoil it if allowed. I live in Eaton, Ohio and am willing to travel outside of town if need be. I hope this intro helps. If anything schedule your dates and we can meet. Hopefully I can help you with your pets. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Trustworthy! Retired Military! I currently work 7 to 3 full time. However I can get up early beforehand and drop by beforehand and after and in the evenings. Whatever you prefer! I have a fenced in yard. I can also crate your pet depending on what you prefer. I can also come to your home and do as you wish.
“Allison was a wonderful house-sitter in every way! She was patient and skilled with our three pups. She followed all of our care instructions, sent frequent photos and updates, and asked questions as needed. We could tell that our pups quickly were comfortable with Allison, so we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We returned to happy dogs, and our house was as tidy and clean as when we left. We will definitely use Allison again!”

“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”

“Love. Love. Love. Ashley was amazing from the very beginning. From the initial meet and greet I knew she was going to be ‘the one’. We have two German shepherds that can be a little weird with their eccentricities and she was wonderful with them. I was sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend which were appreciated. Overall I have NO hesitations with recommending her. She’s wonderful!”

“Imagine going out of state for vacation and never once worrying about your fur babies?! With Ashleigh house sitting we did just that. She is great to communicate with, and sent us updates everyday. I’m pretty sure our dog and cat were still looking for her after we returned home She also took excellent care of the house, we could hardly tell she’d been here. I’ll be a repeat customer!!!”

“Hope was a delight to work with. She was confident and eager and it is evident she loves what she is doing. Sonya was happy and I was comfortable leaving her Hope's care. I look forward to having her for future bookings!”


About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and I know how special and important they are in our lives. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors; from puppies/ kittens to very special seniors. My children are adults now, so I am very flexible as far as scheduling goes, in order to meet your and your pet’s needs. I come to you! I will carry out your instructions in your pet’s own environment, and make sure they are safe and happy, keeping feedings in mind, as well as doors or gates that need to stay closed.
“Kaylan provided outstanding service to my mini dachshund, Milo, on short notice. She was very punctual, transparent in communication with providing pictures while I was away, did an awesome job walking him and being very attentive with my pet. She took great care of my house while I was gone and I would not hesitate to ask her to sit my pet again. Definitely recommend!”

About: I understand that different breeds of dogs need different structures and require different levels of exercise and enrichment. I am very patient and am willing to work with and help train any dogs that may need it. I can work with big or small, high energy or low energy, social or shy! I currently work in the healthcare field and am using this opportunity to branch out into new experiences. I have a relatively open schedule, given that I only work 3 days a week It's important to uphold a clean and safe environment for any animal, so I make sure that there is nothing an animal can get into that they shouldn't. I have 3 lovely cats which receive plenty of love, properly portioned food, and water with dental care add in. Thankfully we have an electric litter box but I am no stranger to cleaning a litter box! I also make sure they're properly groomed and have clean ears, and occasionally they get a good walk when it's nice out! I have owned a dog in the past who received frequent walks, lots of love and play time, properly portioned food, and I paid attentive care to his needs. I also owned two rabbits, who received plenty of hay and enrichment through playtime, a constantly full water bowl, and plenty of space to run around and exercise, as well as proper grooming and nail trimmings frequently For any animal, I know it's important to pay attention and access care plans frequently in order to keep them happy and healthy! So I ensure your furry family member will be properly cared for and I do everything I can to make their lives better

About: Hi! I’m Savannah! I was born and raised in Ohio! I used to do FFA and 4h I’ve worked with dogs, cats, fish, lizards and much more! I grew up with just about anything! I’d love to hang around all your animals to! Pet care fits into my routine by my flexible schedule I work with merchandising which allows me multiple hours in between shifts to do on walks, or just hang out with animals for a bit! In my clients homes we will go on walks with leashes, I will follow the directions that are also given to me by the owners of the animals to insure they stay safe!

About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!
“Carol was amazing! Sent lots of updates and communicated the entire process while she watched my old fur baby! She was very thorough, flexible and detail oriented and took amazing care of my dog. Would use again . My dog felt right at home with her and I could tell in the pictures he was well taken care of! She goes above and beyond! AMAZING”

About: I have taken care of all different kids of animals and I love every single minute of it. I really enjoy being with pets and they love me too.

Other than that my schooling, I should have no time watching your little furry baby I have lots of land, where your baby can run if it is high energy, But if not, I am happy to put a leash on and walk him around. I have lots of pets myself and I am looking to step up my pet care. If your dog needs to be crated, I will Be able to do that too
