I had a great experience working with Emma! She took great care of my kitties and helped give medication to one of them, while also monitoring her condition and keeping me updated every day. It really gave me peace of mind. The kitties are happy to see her again!

About: I have had dogs all my life. Growing up I had mostly smaller dogs, poodles and mutts, and over the years have pet sit for multiple friends and family members. Most recently I have helped my in laws watch their four collie/collie mixes with walks, exercises/games, house visits and longer stays when needed. Two year ago me and my wife got Ricky, our 45lb Chow/Pit/Spaniel who’s amazing. I drive all over the Cincy metro for work and figured this would be a great way to break up my days, be active, and meet fun dogs. Currently my own dog, Ricky, generally requires a walk a day, is fed twice a day, and we brush or wash him a couple times between grooming. I drive all over Cincinnati for work so adding daily/weekly stops into my schedule only helps keep more structure. I always try to make sure all the pets needs are met. I try and not raise my voice unless absolutely necessary, and not resort to treat dependent behavior either.

About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.

I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!

Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.

About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away

Stephanie took care of my two cats when I was out of town for an extended work trip. She did a great job: they were well taken care of and really warmed up to her. I appreciated her clear communication, especially around an incident where one of my cats knocked a houseplant over. I'd definitely consider hiring her again if I have another longer term trip!

About: Ever since my parents let me get a dog I’ve been a dog lover ever since! I’m excited to be that friendly face that pets need. I just got a cat of my own and love her to death- so I’m a new cat lover! I’m reliable and willing to do what you need for your pet :) I’m a nurse so I work 3 shifts a week! On my off days I like to workout and go for walks so it’s the perfect opportunity to take your dog out for a walk or do a drop-in visit In my own home I have two doodles and I’ve grown to love them and their personalities. When friends or family would go out of town I am easily availble to walk, feed, and care for a dog. I follow instructions well and I’m easy to get along with and trust!

Emma is hands down the best cat sitter ever. She is kind, caring, and so easy to work with. Our cat is extremely fearful so she sweetly came in and fed her, scooped her litter, and took a quick picture to ease our minds and hearts while we were away for ten days. Emma is extremely punctual and handles everything that needs to be handled. We would have her watch our cat every time if we could. She is truly so wonderful.

Margaret was a great sitter and very reliable! Our cat needs medicine at the same time everyday and she was on time every time to give it to him. She seems very comfortable around animals and asked great questions in our meet and greet. She even sprayed down our gecko’s enclosure for us which is above and beyond!
