1. Alexandria P.

“I cannot recommend Alexandria highly enough for her outstanding care of my dog, Topi. I needed help on very short notice, and Alexandria stepped in without hesitation. She was absolutely wonderful with Topi, showing great affection and attentiveness. Topi was happy and well-cared for during my absence, and it was such a relief to know she was in such capable hands. Thank you, Alexandria, for your exceptional care and kindness!”


2. Erica L.

“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”


3. Ann C.

“Ann did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent the greatest daily recaps with multiple pictures, which was *so* appreciated. I’d give 6 stars if I could. My boy was so happy and relaxed when I got home thanks to her care and attention.”


4. Rachel H.

“Rachel did an excellent job taking care of our dog at our house while we were away for two days. She made sure he is being engaged with activities to play , and walked out on his regular schedules. I would love to take her in to consideration again when we are away from home. Thanks for the safest dog sitting Rachel, Well done !!”


5. Megan A.


“Megan stayed with my two high energy, sensitive coonhounds for 6 days while I was out of town. She was a great communicator and took great care of my dogs and my house. I would confidently recommend her to anyone and I hope I get to work with her again in the future!”


6. Rachel W.

“Rachel did a great job watching our old man for a couple nights. Munchie is 19 and pretty low maintenance but has his quirks. Sent pictures throughout the day and let us know when he was up and about. Would ask her to watch him again!”


7. Kelly T.

“While I was off on my own adventure, my little cosmic explorer Fox Fox stayed behind—and thank the stars for Kelly, the absolute guardian of galaxies when it comes to pet care! Kelly didn’t just watch Fox Fox—she nurtured, played, snuggled, and ensured every little tail wag and quirky fox dance was met with love and attention. From detailed updates to sweet little photos, I always knew my fluffball was in the best hands in the universe. Coming home, I half expected Fox Fox to be wearing a cape and asking when Kelly was coming back. That’s the level of trust, care, and joy she brings. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like their own—with cosmic levels of kindness, responsibility, and heart—Kelly is your girl!🐾”

“Kori took great care of our pets and our home while we were away. She kept me in the loop when anything unexpected happened and sent a couple pictures each day we were gone. Definitely would book with Kori again.”

“Donald took exceptional care of my senior dog. He was patient and attentive to all his needs. As a result, I could focus on my sons out of town soccer tournament without worry! Do not hesitate to book Donald for your pets needs.”


10. Morgan L.
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs from puppy to senior, as my parents both had dogs of their own and raised puppies. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds from my time volunteering at the Fairfield Humane Society and have spent time pet sitting for many of my neighbors. I work remotely part time, so I set my own hours. This gives me ample time to spend with your best friend while you work or have other commitments to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have a fenced in backyard and am willing to cater my care to your dogs preferences from walk time to crate time and everything in between.


11. Laci K.

“I am so incredibly appreciative and happy with Laci's amazing care for my kitties. Laci was professional, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond. She sent updates, pictures, and videos daily for me which I was so thankful for. Laci's passion, love, and care for animals is so evident. What was most impressive of all was her ability to go above and beyond when it came to medicating my spicy senior kitty, Raina. She was able to brainstorm with me and provide her expertise in how to best go about administering the medication each day while I was gone. She also provided so much affection and love for my younger kitty, Gavin, who can be a handful for sure. :) Laci's care for my kitties allowed for me to fully enjoy my vacation with my family without worrying about anything back home. I will be booking with Laci for as many future trips as possible. Please do yourself a favor and do the same - you and your pets will be thankful you did!”


12. Corrinn E.

“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”


13. Rachael D.

“It was such a comfort having Rachael watch our dogs again. She is patient and caring and we appreciate her attention to our older pups. Highly recommend!!”


14. Sara B.

“Sara was fantastic with our puppy Reggie! She was very kind and loving with Reggie and he was very happy when we got home. Our house was tidy and everything was good !”




15. Marisa H.

“Marisa watched our dog for 2 weeks and was great! I was very anxious to leave our dog for the first time, so she sent lots of photos and updates. Our dog is a picky eater, but she got him to eat every meal which was such a relief. Would definitely have her watch Magnus again in the future”


16. Davelle G.
About: My name is Davelle & I am 27 years of age. I get along with animals from big to small too vicious to gentle. I love to train pets as well. Go Buckeyes 🅱️ . I work part time as a Health/Medicare Insurance agent at home. So I can always take a break and even walk around the house while on the phone with a client to make sure the pet taken care of. I make sure that the pet follows a routine and its always to make sure that the house stays clean as possible at a client home and nothing is moved around cause sometimes pets like to get into things so have a good sense of surroundings are very important. Most people may not do this but I always visually inspect the pet just incase they have picked up a critter from outside and is sitting there fur or even if there is stuff in the mouth or ears. These little things are very important as you do not want the pet in discomfort. Pets are most likely a little stressed out that the owner is not present already so no need to add additional stress.


17. Kristin E.

“Kristin did an amazing job watching my two pups. Appreciated the regular pictures and updates while out of town. My pups truly seemed to enjoy their time with Kristin.”


18. Alexandra H.
“Alex is one of the most caring animal lovers I know! She’s amazing with my pets. My dog has some health issues and she’s always good about doing check ins and giving the medication when needed. It gives me relief that she has experience working in a clinic for so many years too. She is honestly so great my fur baby and wouldn’t want anyone else.”


19. Amanda E.

“Amanda was amazing! She was extremely communicative with us and our pup Murphy had a great time with her. Amanda was very respectful of our space when staying at the house and adhered to Murphys schedule. We would recommend Amanda to anyone!”


20. Sheridan W.

“Sheridan did an amazing job watching my dog! She was kind, communicative, and punctual. She house-sat while I was in the process of moving, and she was flexible and accommodating. Thank you Sheridan!!”
