“Excellent!!! Brittany watched our two German Shepherd in our home, both are over 100lbs and one is becoming a bit elderly. Britany was prompt and followed all our listed care needs to the letter. While we have used Rover for years, Brittany is one of the few we have found that truly loves animals, and give real love and attention to your pets. The house remained spotless and Brittany clearly took extra steps before she left. In addition, Brittany checked in with us before leaving for to make sure our flights were on time an no extension was needed. Thanks Brittany for taking great care of our very hairy children!”

“Kiara was great! We scheduled a meet and greet and she was on time and professional. Then we were delayed in leaving and she was very accommodating. The house was left very clean and our puppy seemed very happy. Very regular updates with photos helped to ease our stress of being gone. Thanks again Kiki!!”


“Kaitlyn was absolutely a wonderful pet sitter. She cared for my pets as if they were her own. She was kind beyond. She did what I asked of her and then more. When she saw that she could do extra, she did it, like watering my plants when they were super dry or picking my zucchini or cucumbers. She treated my home as if it was her own. I have nothing but praises for Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn will always be welcomed on my house.”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child. I have experience in puppy and senior care. I spent many years rescuing cats and volunteering in a cat shelter. I currently have two senior dogs and am comfortable in special care and administering medicine. I am home all day so I can offer constant care if needed. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I will be dedicated to caring for your fur baby. I enjoy working with animals. I can care for your animals in my home. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also come to your home, drop in or walk your fur baby(s). My schedule is flexible.

About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs of every background! I am currently a college student and taking some time off of work to focus on my studies and would like to make some extra cash to help pay my loans/carry some weight at my family's house. My family has quite some land, and although not fenced, I am very active and always run with my own dog on a leash. I do 30 minutes to an hour walk twice a day. Potty breaks are very consistent.

About: Hi there! My name is Laikin. I have experience as a volunteer and foster at the local humane society for 6+ years. I have been dog sitting for over 7 years now, so I have experience with most breeds, sizes, and shapes of dogs. :) I personally own one dog, an australian shepard mix! I love spending time with dogs. I am good at following the directions and spending quality time with your pups! They will be in good hands and you’ll feel safe trusting me. I am responsible and able to stay calm in situations in order to give the best care to your dog! Look forward to meeting your pup :) I have lots of experience balancing my other responsibilities with providing quality pet care! I regularly worked as a sitter throughout my time as a full time college athlete. I have had experience with lots of different dogs with various needs, including various medical conditions. I am very good at following directions and providing loving care!

About: Hi! I’m Jenna. I'm going into my sophomore year in college at Morehead State. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds all of my life. I’m very patient, compassionate, and love dogs of all sizes. From small Shih Tzu’s and Yorkies to larger Hunting Dogs, Huskys, and even rambunctious Labs! I’m flexible with care guides and times because I understand all Dogs (AND cats!) have different needs. I was a cross country runner in high school so if your dog needs exercised, I’ll have them tuckered out! I am willing to walk your dog, drop by and play, and even give baths if needed. If you have more than one pet I’m more than happy and experienced in caring for multiple at a time. I can not WAIT to meet your adorable furry friend! I'm currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. Just schedule at least one day ahead, and I'll be there when you need me! For drop-by care and walking alike, I will be available to respond and be more than happy to send pictures of your fur-babies having fun!

“Kieran is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I left my 3 dogs at home while away for a long weekend and Kieran was sure to send pictures and videos every single time they went outside or played, or anything! It was great. More importantly, one of my senior pups was terminally ill. I made Kieran aware of her condition and asked to be gentler with her. My second to last day of my trip, Kieran called and because marlee had started displaying alarming symptoms. After calling me, Marlee was rushed to the ER while I rushed back home. I cannot thank Kieran enough for taking my baby into his arms and living her on her final days. And I can’t thank Kieran enough for making sure I had time to get to my baby before she crossed the bridge.”


“Molly was a dream come true. She was friendly and energetic and made sure my baby didn't even realize I wasn't there. I hired her to stay at my house for the weekend and she was very respectful of my home. The only bad thing would probably be my dog was happy I was home but asking where Molly was and when she'd come back. Pretty sure he didn't even miss me with all the love, attention and spoiling. Will definitely be using her again.”


About: I provide specialized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. My experience includes: Puppy Care & Training: I'm adept at reinforcing positive behaviors, managing puppy energy, and continuing any established potty training or basic obedience commands (sit, stay, come, etc.). As well as more advance commands, (shake, lay down, roll over, etc.) for those dogs who are further along in their training. When it comes to your senior best friends, I have a gentle approach for older pets, understanding their needs for slower walks, medication administration for both oral and topical prescriptions, and extra patience. I'm vigilant about recognizing any signs of discomfort or changes in their health and will communicate immediately to you. I currently work from home so your pet's schedule can be followed with no problem or hassle! I can re-arrange my day for your pet's needs from walks to playtime, to medication routines. Your pets are safe in my home and have access to majority of the house, and access to outside whenever they should need or want to go. My pets are apart of my family so they are allowed on the couches. I also have barriers throughout the house if need to separation is needed. I also have several different stimulation toys for dogs, and relaxation spots around the house and a pool for them outside as well. Safety and loving your fur child is my number one priority!

About: I have cared for dogs both as a child and adult. They are one of life’s joys and I really enjoy being with them all I am semi-retired and set my own schedule. This allows me to be available when needed with enough notice and planning. I am excited about this. I can crate if needed. I walk dogs at least one time a day and would feed according to the owner’s instructions. Not a problem.


About: Hi! My name is Amber. I am a teacher-turned-author looking to serve your every doggy need. Growing up, I thought I wanted to be a Vet. I spent every Saturday volunteering at the Ross Country Humane Society from ages 10-18 and was part of the Humane Society of the United States Advisory Board. I have spent thousands of hours with animals in shelters/rescues. After much prayer and consideration, God led me to writing instead of Veterinary work. I have experience in pet and house sitting, boarding, and walking. I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, but have a particular soft spot for golden retrievers, huskies, and terrier mixes. As an author, I love showing love to animals and find it to be an excellent and comforting mind-break. Since getting married, I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting in Chillicothe, Ohio. I don't currently own any pets of my own. I have worked with large and small pets and enjoy spending time with them. From pen to paws, I love serving your dogs through walking, feeding, bathroom breaks, running, and playing. I'm your sitter with a smile and an author who lives to serve! :) I am a full-time teacher-turned-author so I work from home. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine as I make my schedule. Walking dogs, conducting drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting give me the mental break I need. Other than Church, or running errands, I am pretty flexible with needs. I offer complimentary photos and videos, check-in texts and messages, lots of love, walks, exercise, treats, and fun! Every pet has a stay like they are one of my pets. As mentioned, I don't currently don't have any pets of my own, but I grew up with dogs.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I absolutely love being around them! I spend a lot of time at home and would be so happy to help care for your furry friends while you’re away. 🩷 I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m around all day to keep your pets company! I spend most of my time hanging out with my three silly Frenchies, and I’d be more than happy to care for your pets in their own space, just need reliable WiFi. I have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to play! It’s a chainlink fence that’s 4.5 ft high. I also have a ring camera recording the front and backyard at all times

About: I’ve taken care of family’s dogs for years. I have a chocolate lab myself. Your pup is safe with me. Promise you that. Thank you I’m not working. I’m a stay at home momma to 3 kiddos so I have all the time in the world to play and care for your fur babies I have a crate to crate my dog or yours if needed. I have a chocolate lab but she is absolutely okay with other dogs! Makes her feel like a pup again lol

“Schawna stayed wtih our animals at the house for 5 days. She checked in with us to let them know they were doing well and sent us pictures with them as well. Our flight arrived late so we told her she could leave and the dogs would be okay so we didn’t get to chat with her before she parted, but we came home and were pleasantly surprised to see the house was also very clean, it even looked cleaner than when we left. We would definitely use Schawna again to take care of our 2 dogs, 2 cats, and home.”


About: Canines have been an addition to our families for many years. I am filled will joy, loving on the pups! What a great blessing they have been! I am self employed. I get to choose my schedule, so flexible is an understatement. Always make tike for the things things you love, right? Animals that are house trained can free roam unless owner requests otherwise. I do not have, but will be building a fence in the spring! 🫶🙌

About: Woof! Im a responsible and trustworthy military veteran with a true passion for dogs.I have ample experience, having helped run a nonprofit dog rescue for many years. I’m kind, gentle, patient, and extremely comfortable around canines. Being an active and energetic kind of gal, your babies will have a blast during their time with me! Their paws will be in good hands. P.S ( I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own). I work from home, (free lance writing) and have plenty of time to host your dog. Being a homebody, I only step out for a few hours, for kickboxing and weight training. I have an extremely large yard with lots of room for: exercise, playtime, and exploring. And I’m well equipped with several doggy condos (crates and cages).

About: I grew up with dogs..German Shepards, Labs, Poodles, Shi Tzu. Over the years I, and now my sons, have been dog sitters for friends for years. Recently our family has expanded with Remington, Remifor short. He’s got a loud bark, but a gentle and very playful soul. Id love get to help you care for and love your pet when your schedule is needing it, and it allows more furry friends for Remi! Scheduling is somewhat flexible. Your baby will have all of the attention and love needed. I have a 1/2 acre yard that has the entire backyard completely fenced in. We have ponds in our community and lots of areas for your baby to run and play. I have no doubt you’ll have great peace of mind in knowing your fur baby is well taken care of. We have a dog of our own. So he goes out at 7am & gets his first walk and feeding of the day. With my fenced in yard he has the freedom to come and go as he wishes when weather permits. He gets a few treats during the day, as we’re always working on his manners and tricks. Around 7pm he gets last feeding and a treat before bed. He’s usually ready to crash about 9pm. I have a fenced in yard, one male dog, and flexible scheduling to accommodate potty breaks and feedings. I also have a large crate available if needed.

Laikin T.
“I was very pleased with the care and kindness Laikin gave to my 2 dogs, Tyler and Amos. I had never used an in-home pet sitter before, but Tyler, my older dog had a medical issue back in March and I didn't really want to kennel him when I went on vacation. Laikin spent time with Tyler and Amos, loving on them and giving them special attention. She sent me pics of each of her visits, which felt nice to see them even though I was miles away. Laikin is a very sweet, kind, and responsible young woman, and I trusted her completely. I will definitely utilize her services next time I take vacation. 👍😊”


Jenna T.
“Jenna is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. She is very passionate about animals and treats every animal I’ve seen her around as if they are her own. She is very punctual and considerate of others and the first person I would call to take care of my dogs when needed. You will not regret hiring her and she will be a positive addition to your dogs life.”

Linda R.
“It is a pleasure to recommend Linda as a pet caregiver. Linda has tenderly cared for (and about) my pets for many years. As an experienced pet parent herself, Linda understands the complexities of providing comforting care with keen attention to safety and companionship. Linda is dependable, loving and honest. I recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caregiver.”




Amber G.
“Amber has watched my dog Sam for about the past 4 years each summer when we take our family vacation. She is also was very flexible if we provided last minute dates. Amber was so attentive when we explained what she needed to do, and followed everything perfectly. She made sure he always got food and water and put to bed at night with a treat. She is so good with him and he loves having her come over to watch him so he wouldn’t have to go to the kennel. She also took care of our cat Sebastian while she was there and did an equally amazing job. I would highly recommend Amber as a dog sitter!!”


Summer W.
“Summer is great with pets. I have an elderly, cranky English bulldog who is beyond spoiled and Summer would take care of her while I was away. She would sometimes stay a week or more and was excellent with my pup's ridiculous demands and pharmacy of meds. Mrs. Hudson was always happy and healthy when I returned. She was always excited to see her friend Summer when it was time for me to go away. In fact, now that we have moved, my dog is just a little less happy with any other sitter. You can be sure that your pets will be well taken care of and even a bit spoiled when you can't be there. I know how hard it is to trust someone with your furry family members but don't hesitate on contacting her. Your pups (or kitties) will be in great hands.”


Reggie L.

“Reggie did great! She took care of my dog and house while I was away and sent updates and pictures! My animals really loved her!”


Megan F.
“Megan took very good care of my dogs! She followed their feeding, medicine, and walking schedule perfectly. They loved her. I definitely recommend her. She’s the best”
