“I can't say enough about the amazing Livana!! Very professional, accommodating, very organized and very very good at sending updates and photos. Beautiful photos of my baby girl 💗💗💗 I would definitely recommend Livana🥰”


“I am so thankful to have had Kristi house sit and care for my fur babies, she kept them engaged the whole time to the point where my son's and I were joking how the dogs are going to want to live with Kristi. She not only played with them, worked on tricks with them but also loved on them and we received daily pictures and updates. She even cleaned!!!! She gardened and planted plants for me. All things that needed my attention and did not get until Kristi showed up. She even found and picked up glass that was in my backyard that the dirt had been throwing up from previous owners. She went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! She made me feel safe and comfortable that everything was and would be OK. We LOVE YOU KRISTY ?”


“Ronnie was fantastic! I was a bit nervous about leaving my dog for the first time, as she’s a chow and doesn’t do well with strangers in the home. She gets nervous and protective. Ronnie handled it like a pro! They stayed calm, gave my dog what she needed, made her feel comfortable/followed her lead, provided me with daily updates, and looked over the house too. I would absolutely recommend trusting Ronnie with your pets and I plan to work with them again in the future. Thank you Ronnie!!!!”


“Cara is a highly reliable dog sitter, and did an amazing job with our 3 dogs while we were away for several days. We received daily cell updates and images, and when we came home, our house appeared even cleaner than when we left it! We give her our highest recommendation!!”


About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: Passionate Pet Caregiver with Years of Tail-Wagging Experience With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I’ve dedicated myself to providing loving, attentive, and reliable care. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a furry friend as part of my family. From playful pups to finicky felines (and everything in between), I treat every pet like family. My love and care extends beyond four legs, as I am currently pursing a degree in nursing!Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or special needs care like medication administration, your furry friend is in trusted hands! I am currently pursing a degree for nursing, and work part-time as a waitress. I am an early bird by heart, but have been shifted to a night owl because of my work schedule. I love to tend to my fur babies in the morning, waking my four-legged friend and setting a positive attitude for the day with exercise and natural vitamin D! Play time is an around the clock must. Any morning, afternoon, or evening, I am the girl to care for your four-legged friends! Any routine they need, I am very adaptable. I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs and cats, willing to crate, administer medication, exercise, play, and snuggle. I am more than willing to follow and routine needed for you and your family. Play dates, walks, feeding, and even the not so fun clean up side of pet care!

“Lydia is amazing!! She’s watched our fur baby many times, always goes above & beyond. She even helped us out last minute. When we’re away I feel at ease knowing our dog is in good hands with her. She even sends pictures & gives updates on how everything is going. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”


About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: Hello families! My name is Tanner. I am currently majoring in psychology at Youngstown State University. I graduated from Ursuline High School in 2022. I have much experience pet sitting for many neighbors and different families. I have experience administering medications to different pets and can follow schedules well. I can provide references and background clearances upon request. I am available for drop in visits and overnight stays for pets that might need a little extra love! Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am looking to be a pet sitter full time or drop ins Saturdays and Sundays. I am flexible with my schedule so we can work out any times needed I make sure they get lots of love, pets, and plenty of exercise or playtime but ultimately whatever the dog needs is what I will stick with.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. With my mom working at a vet clinic, I believe I stand out because of knowledge that was passed down to me. I have a part time job where I work mainly evenings after 4pm, so I’m available most mornings and afternoons. Sometimes I work mid shifts, but they don’t start till noon, so I almost always have mornings free. I have a partially fenced in yard with a runner lead for my own dog. I have a crate available if needed. I have a park not far from my home, so I usually take my dog on walks there.

“This was the first time I’ve ever had a dog/house sitter, but I knew it was the right thing for Ranger. Cyndi was great! Kept in touch. Left my home cleaner than when I left it. And I know Ranger was happy, safe and well taken care of. I’ll definitely feel comfortable with this service in the future and Cyndi for sure!”


“Haley is amazing! The communication before and during our stay was perfect. She was so patient and kind with our anxious girls. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable and happy knowing they were safe with her, and we returned to very happy and loved puppies.”


About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.

“Morgann is amazing! I moved here from another state and was worried about finding a new dog sitter for my fur babies after having the same sitter for 8 years. My dogs love her and she took fabulous care of them. She was great with communication while we were out of town, sending me pictures and updates about the dogs too. Would definitely recommend her and plan on working with her again.”


About: I've helped care for and train all sorts of animals, from indoor pets to farm animals, my entire life, and I love it! I like to make sure furry friends feel safe and enjoy their time with me, whether that means a running around to get some energy out or a relaxing rub. It would be my delight to tailor my care to your desires and your fur-baby's needs so everyone has a great experience and you can enjoy a worry-free trip. **If I am unavailable for one day out of your multiday booking, I may be able to adjust things and am open to bring contacted about it. I'm currently a medical student, so I am mostly free in the early morning, late afternoon, and evening. However, I have many days and weeks when my I am available at different times. Let's discuss your precise needs and my availability to meet them! I believe in following the house rules, spoiling the animals if that's the preference and reinforcing rules they need to abide by (e.g., not being allowed on furniture). I will be vigilant to keep your fur-baby out of trouble while making sure they get the exercise or socialization they need during my visit!

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.

“I have known Melissa for 10+ years and she has always been a helpful caring person! As long as I can remember she’s always been a nurturing hand in either her own pet’s lives or as a friend/family member, being there wholeheartedly.”


Nakkiya-Rose P.
“I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person to trust with your pets than Nakkiya. She’s taken care of my dog on several occasions, and every time, I’ve come home to a happy, well-loved pup who barely seemed to notice I was gone! She’s a true animal person, the kind who just gets pets. She has a dog and a cat of her own, so she knows firsthand how important routines, little quirks, and personalities are. She’s super attentive, always asks great questions to make sure she’s doing things the way you do them, and sends plenty of updates so you’re never wondering how your pet is doing. But more than anything, I trust her completely. She’s calm, reliable, and clearly cares deeply about animals. My dog warmed up to her instantly (which never happens), and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I can’t recommend Nakkiya enough!”

Tanner S.
“Whenever we go away, I have Tanner take care of my 2 dogs. She is responsible and able to give my senior dog her medicine without issue. The dogs both love her as she makes an effort to play with them and give them attention. I have never had an issue or needed to worry while they were in her care. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets.”

“Augusta is the only person I trust to take care of my Zoo. She is amazing handling my anxious chihuahua, and meets him where he’s at with compassion and care. She does amazing with my other dog, my two cats and my exotics. I never have had to worry about my babies while she’s cared for them, because she spoils them with love and care just like I would. She’s an amazing communicator, punctual, consistent and has a great intuition and attention to detail. She is your one stop shop for all of your animal caretaking needs! ❤️❤️”

Jasmine C.
“Jasmine is a very caring and patient person, who's very in-tune with animals and their feelings. She seems to know just when they want to eat, walk, play, or just relax. She also cleans up after them as needs be and notices when they're out of sorts. There's no one besides myself that I trust more to look after my pets than Jasmine.”
