Katie was the perfect choice! I booked her to watch my dogs overnight on my wedding day! She went over & beyond for me! Got them ready & drove the dogs to the venue for pictures! I knew my babies were in the right hands all day! I was not stressed one bit! Communication was smooth and very reliable! I highly recommend Katie! She truly cares for our pets.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment we met, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and experienced Isabella is. My Babies were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved, which says everything. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—they gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can fully trust. I’ll absolutely be booking again!

Our experience with Leesa was fantastic. Leesa proved to be a conscientious and detail-oriented sitter. Before our engagement even began, Leesa asked to come to our house to meet our dogs so she could get an understanding of their behavior and daily routine. She was attentive and receptive to all the nuances that go into their daily routine and she was also very careful to always ask questions and permission if there was something she wanted to do (e.g., prepare home-cooked doggy treats). Leesa was also very keen to replicate routines and keep old habits going strong. For example, she recorded me putting our dogs collars/leashes on so as to not disrupt the pre-walk routine that the dogs have become used to. She also picked up on a few commands that our dogs knew, and wanted to be sure to use them. Leesa was flexible (as she came to our home a few hours earlier than originally planned) and reliable with photos and updates during the stay. My wife and I were leaving town for the weekend and, as most couples do, found ourselves hurried and late. Leesa arrived and immediately stepped in, taking the dogs on a walk. She wanted to make sure that we could finish packing and hit the road without the distraction of the dogs trying to stay good-bye. Leesa gave regular reports on the dogs while we were away and continued to be mindful of anything she thought might be worth asking. Not once did I get the impression that things could go south--she seemed 100% in control. Leesa was also as gracious a guest in our home as one could ask. We returned to a hand-written, welcome-home note and two dogs that were (seemingly) better behaved than when we left. All in all, our experience with Leesa was terrific, and we hope to be able to repeat with her as often as she'll let us.

Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!

Abby was wonderful watching our 2 German Shepherds. Our 1 year old can be very active, mouthy and demanding and we appreciated her honesty regarding some of his poor manners while we were gone. He is also on heart meds 3x per day and she was very conscientious about notifying me and following up with any issues. Great job keeping the house picked up too. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life, I have experience with cats, bunnies, dogs, ducks, chickens, and snakes! I will give your fur (or feather) baby so much love, they'll hardly notice you're gone! I am currently a freelancer, who is underemployed so I can fit pet care into my day in whatever capacity is needed. I am happy to stay overnight as well. I have pet sat for many notable Dayton figureheads including Mrs. Ohio! My home is not equipped to host dogs, but I will happily come to yours. I am a cardio instructor who loves to be outside, so going on walks will be my favorite part of the day. I will happily play with your pets, and snuggle them on the couch while I read or work on my latest craft project. I am very tidy and will leave your home exactly as I found it.

Katie did such a great job taking care of our dogs and cat while we were away for vacation! Katie sent amazing pictures every day and was always super responsive. We knew the pets were in great hands and can tell that they had a great time! She also took great care of the house, brought in the mail, and cleaned up before we got back, which was greatly appreciated! Would definitely recommend Katie!

Maya took great care of our dog Audrey and our cat Cali while we were out of town. This was our first time having someone stay at our house with the pets. Cali is a pretty easy cat. Audrey can be a lot sometimes but Maya took it in stride and seemed unphased Audrey's specific needs, demands for attention, and separation anxiety. Every picture Maya sent showed Audrey and Cali looking cozy or happy. They seemed to enjoy her company. When we arrived home, Audrey especially seemed unstressed by the weekend without us. I would recommend Maya to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious individual to watch their pets.

She took on a last-minute mission to take care of my two dogs, including one trouble maker😌 and one senior dog needed insulin shots. She took time to meet and greet and actively communicated with us before and throughout the duration. She was also fast to reply messages and sent us picture updates, etc. Would definitely recommend her!

Asche did a great job watching Sophie in my home. She followed the instructions and made it to my place in spite of us getting 14 inches of snow just two days before! That is dedication and reflects well on Rover. Sophie took right to her from the first visit. I could tell instantly that she loves taking care of our fur babies I'll be reaching out to her again whenever I need Sophie watched in my home.
