“Maeghan was fantastic! I’m always nervous having someone new watch our animals but she was very flexible, communicative and attentive. We will definitely have her back to take care of our pets ☺️”
“Nicole has always done a fantastic job taking care of my two cats, Sheba and Isis. She always takes very good care of my discus fish, which are notoriously difficult fish to keep. I admire her professionalism and appreciate her quality job. I highly recommend her!!”
“Shauna was fantastic! She really set my mind at ease when taking care of Stella while I was away. She was always very prompt and caring. She even took the time to wash out her food bowls so I appreciated that also. I will definitely be asking her if she can pet sit again in the future!”
“Thank you Emily for giving us a carefree vacation.”
“Carey has been visiting my yorkie who is recovering from knee surgery and she has been a blessing. I felt so much more assured going back to work knowing that Carey was stopping in to check on her and visit with her and my dog loves her. Can’t ask for more.”
“Keara was AMAZING!!! One of our cats is extremelyyy shy and always hides from strangers but Keara was so patient and loving with him that by the second visit he was out and about and sharing snuggles ? We received so many cute photos and great consistent communication that made us feel so comfortable. Thank you, Keara!!! Jabba and Rey miss you ??”
“Suryasree is great with our Doberman. Cardi can get very anxious at times but she felt at ease with Suryasree. We were kept up to date with the added luxury of photos and videos. Highly recommend. We have used her twice now.”
“Amazing! Emily is wonderful and we didn’t have a worry in the world. She was professional and communicative and our boys (2 cats) took to her quickly. We will absolutely use Emily again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have been walking friends and family dogs since I was 10, this has been a part time job for me for 5 years now. I’ve experienced anything from small to large dogs, dogs that have experienced trauma and are scared of others, and giving pets medication. I am available to petsit anytime before 5pm. From Saturday to Thursday since I work part-time right now. Since it is the summer I’m free all day before 5pm! Through my years of pet sitting for friends, family, and acquaintances, it has been combined with tasks such as bringing in the mail, feeding pets that require less care like fish, and letting cleaners into the house as needed.
“Lauren did a great job with both of my Labs! She even went the extra mile to check on them at night after some bad weather hit the area. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pups.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals since childhood. I’m compassionate and love dogs and cats. They all grab a piece of your heart ! My work schedule is flexible with consecutive days off in a row, which allows me extra time to provide pet care for those in need. I’ll care for your pet as prescribed by you. Plenty of attention, petting, scratches and walks. I have a pet friendly condo if I’m at my own home.
“The first day Leanna came to visit my pup, she was too scared to come out from under the bed. So later that evening, Leanna came by and met us both to give my baby some peace of mind and know that she can trust her. Very happy so far!! Thank you :)”
About: Hi I have many years taking care of dogs. I take care of my neighbors dog Edith when her mom travels. I also take care of my other neighbors cat who is a sweetheart. My dog is now a senior and takes medication so I can give medication if your dog requires it. I’m also good with older dog that have arthritis. I recently graduated with a degree in sociology from Kent state university. I recently moved to the nova area and I love animals so I thought this would be a perfect part time job since I have some much free time. I’m also currently looking for a full time job in social media marketing to add to my part time pet work. I can easily crate dogs if needed. I prefer to sit in others home due to it’s a safe known place for your dog. I really love when someone leave a schedule with all the times the dog eats and if they have meds what time they get those.
“Elisa is the absolute best!!!! She took the best care of my two dogs and I am a very picky and protective dog mom and she exceeded my expectations! She loved my dogs as if they were hers. Couldn’t be happier. So glad I found a dog sitter!”
“Bradi was great with communication and navigating the needs of my apartment complex. Cats had a great time!”
“Liberty was fantastic looking after our pup, Luke! She provided detailed updates and lots of pictures at every check-in. We were really reassured leaving our pup in such good hands. Thanks, Liberty!!”
“Daniela is a wonderful cat sitter! She did daily drop-in visits and left detailed summaries with photos. Although my cat is very shy and fearful of new visitors, at Daniela's second visit he felt comfortable enough to hang out with her. I would definitely use her as a cat sitter again!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since 2017 when I began watching my roommates two large dogs. I adopted my sweet Pit-bull, Speck in 2019 and had her until 2023 when she was unfortunately put down. As her mobility began to decline, I developed more patience and became better with time management. I am happy to sacrifice for a pet that requires me getting up extra early, taking things slow, or even carrying them upstairs. I work FT onsite M-F, but will always prioritize a pet that I'm watching. Fortunately my work is flexible and I am able to drop in during my break to take the dog(s) out. Pets are welcome on the furniture as it's covered. My two cats are kept in a different room while other pets are staying with me. There are child locks on the cabinets in the kitchen as my cats are tricksters. The neighborhood is quiet so there shouldn't be much noise if your pet is anxious.

Edward has cared for our cat many times and the experience made me feel very relieved when we were on vacation and left kitty home.
Another stress-free trip with Amanda watching our senior kitty! She’s our go-to cat sitter, definitely recommend :)
Isabella took great care of Lilly. Lilly is a bit intimidating initially when she meets new people. Isabella won her over quickly and was her best buddy while we were away.
Claire is so amazing! She took such great care of my diabetic cat. Reptar loved her so much and we will definitely be coming back for her services
Kierynn is amazing with our pups! They took her out to their favorite path that they normally won’t go all the way out too without us!
Michiru was my first sitter here and I was very impressed! She was very responsive and thoughtful with her visits, providing a detailed update and photos each day. I'd highly recommend her and I'm sure my cat Fiona would too!
Arrielle is a wonderful sitter for our cat Gus. I can't be happier reading her report card about every visit.
Lauren did a great job with both of my Labs! She even went the extra mile to check on them at night after some bad weather hit the area. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pups.
Paige is kind and conscientious and takes excellent care of our 19 year-old cat. We love having her as our pet's caretaker.
Jenn did a great job caring for our cats while we were away! She always kept us updated on how they were doing. We are looking forward to using her again!
Nicole is amazing! She takes wonderful care of the pets and gives us great updates and photos of them.
Shauna is great! She’s been really helpful in integrating our puppy into our home and getting him on a schedule. She’s wonderful with Ducky, our 4 1/2 month old handful. She’s punctual, communicative, and specifically works on the things Ducky needs help with. Highly recommend!!!
Ashleigh was amazing with my cat, Stewie! She gave him SO much attention and love. Also, she made sure he was well taken care of giving him lots of food and water! She even cut his nails, cleaned the litter box, and cleaned up the house:) I would recommend her anytime to watch your pet. You know your animal is in good hands with her! Thank you so much Ashleigh for all of your help, kindness, and great communication! I will be booking with her in the future.
Certified Cat Diplomat, Trash Warrior, and Wildlife Whisperer This review is brought to you by Ripley, Wallace, Humphrey, and Clancy-four highly judgmental cats who rarely agree on anything. Jaelen not only survived us, she fed the foxes, a doe, and her fawn, kept the flowers alive, and dragged both trash cans up a quarter-mile driveway like a mythic heroine. Wallace and Humphrey hid for most of the week like shadow spirits. Clancy probably thought about flinging his bowl. Someone barfed in the laundry room-we're not naming names-and yet Jaelen still smiled and sent adorable updates. We returned to clean dishes, calm vibes, and zero drama. 11/10. Would absolutely let her serve us again.
Abby always does a great job sitting for my two cats! They are very needy and food-motivated. They love her, and I'm grateful that she can do two well-timed drop-ins per day to help them keep a normal routine.
Bradi was great with communication and navigating the needs of my apartment complex. Cats had a great time!
Elena is great with our kitties! She is very responsible and takes care of them very well. We trust her a lot!
Sam was wonderful in communicating with us before, during and after! Easy to talk to, is a natural problem solver and was great with our (scaredy) cats! Would love to have her back again!
