Dog Sitting in Madeira

“Addie has been so flexible and helpful with our dogs. We really appreciate having her stop by! She always takes lots of pictures of our pups and they always look happy to see her.”

Lane F.

“Thanks Ethan for caring for our cats. They are both happy and it was comforting to know that they were well taken care of while we were away.”

Lis M.

“Amazing communication! Incredible photos. I could tell that the pup and the cat were having the best time in the world! Definitely hope to bring back Carine!”

Warren J M.

“Very understanding and accommodating! I had an issue with a door code while out of town and she was able to work with me to fix it. Would highly recommend and use again when needed.”

Sydney S.

“Cailie is a cat whisperer! Seriously. One of our cats can be a bit standoffish, but he warmed up to Cailie right away. And she was very flexible when we had a sudden schedule change. I will definitely rebook with her! Cat Mom”

Keila D.

“Anissa saw my cat multiple times and is always very attentive. Thank you!”

Julio E.

“Alexandria took amazing care of our two cats who have a detailed routine. One is very particular and she took to Alexandria which is no small feat! The pictures and updates she sent were detailed and I looked forward to getting them after each visit!”

Rachel V.

“Drew did a fantastic job with our cats. One is them is a bit skittish, but warmed up to him a couple days in. He was very responsive and available on short notice when we had another cat sitter back out due to personal circumstance at the last minute. Highly recommended.”

Derek P.

“Jeff was awesome! I have a 5 mo puppy learning to be an adult dog and Jeff was needed to let the pup out at lunch for potty & lunch for a week. Jeff was so helpful and made my dog's schedule his priority. Not only did be let Finn out to do his business but he also took Finn for a short walk! There were resident cats looking for an escape route but Jeff was on top of the escape plan & thwarted their every attempt to break free; even bringing treats for the cats! I can't thank Jeff enough to making that week disaster-free and worry-free!”

About: I know how important it is to find someone who really understands your dog’s needs, especially if your pup is nervous, shy, or slow to warm up. As the owner of a rescue dog myself, I have firsthand experience with dogs who are sensitive, easily stressed, or hesitant around new people. I approach every visit with patience, empathy, and respect for your dog’s peace and comfort level. Whether it takes a few minutes or a few visits, I’ll be there with calm, gentle energy to help your dog feel safe and supported. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily build pet care into my daily routine. I’m available during the day for check ins and potty breaks, or in the mornings and evenings for walks and quality time. I treat your home with respect and follow your pet’s routine to keep things calm and familiar. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to keep your pet happy and stress free until you’re home again.

About: Hi there! I grew up with lots of pets and have cared for dogs for most of my life. As a child, my family had all kinds of dogs - including a beagle, Siberian husky, Australian shepherd mix, yellow lab, and peekapoo. Some of my favorite childhood memories include days spent exploring or hiking with our dogs. I love their companionship, intelligence, and getting to know their unique personalities. I can’t imagine life without our dogs! Currently, my husband and I have two rescue pups - a Samoyed and Pomsky, who are playful, fun, and always up for an adventure. We have a special love for arctic dogs, in particular, ever since our first Samoyed mix followed us home as a stray 15+ years ago. Now, we have two children who also adore dogs. I love watching my kids learn and grow as they care for animals. In addition to our dogs, we also have 2 outdoor rabbits (in a separate, secure location), and one outdoor cat who mostly sunbathes in our driveway. Our home would be a good fit for dogs who thrive in an active and playful household, and who would enjoy children and making some new dog friends. Our home has dog toys, comfy beds and couches, and lots of room to play. We strive to ensure our dogs are mentally engaged and active, and guarantee that your dog will enjoy at least one daily walk and ample outdoor playtime. If comfortable, your dog can also join us on family outings to parks, playgrounds, and hiking trails. I am happy to work with your dog on basic training commands. I can also bathe them, or bring them to any grooming appointment that might be helpful to schedule while you are away. Our children also like to make “pupsicles” - frozen dog treats - which your dog can absolutely enjoy, if desired. I truly appreciate how hard it is to be away from your dog. They are family. As a responsible, caring dog (and human!) mom, I will do everything possible to get to know your beloved dog, and to help them feel safe and loved in our home. Your dog will be lovingly cared for alongside my own two dogs and children. I am a stay-at-home mom with a fairly flexible schedule, and I guarantee that your dog will enjoy lots of hours of companionship with my family at home. Before your dog’s stay, I will learn all about their routines and preferences for feeding, activity, and rest. I skillfully manage schedules and routines for my own kids and pets - and I am committed to maintaining them for your dog as well. If your dog would enjoy it, they can absolutely be included in our various family outings - such as visiting parks or hiking trails. Your dog will join a safe and loving family home environment. When your dog arrives for their stay, I will attach my own custom dog tag to their collar - with my contact information - for an extra added layer of safety. Our own dogs also wear GPS collars as a precaution, and we’re happy to provide one for your dog’s stay as well. Our secure, fenced backyard offers ample room for dogs to run and play. For your dog’s safety, he/she will need to be comfortable staying in a crate when we leave the house. I also turn on music for our dogs when we leave, and can continue to do so if this would feel soothing for yours. We can discuss and accommodate whatever sleeping arrangement would feel most easeful for your dog. Your dog will always have access to fresh water and frequent potty breaks. I will feed them according to your schedule, and can offer either my own treats or ones that you provide. I can give pills or medication to your dog, but am not trained to do injections. I always wonder how my dogs are doing when we have to be away, and I appreciate how comforting it is to receive updates. If this is something you’d also like, I am happy to send regular photos and updates about your dog.

“I cannot express how thankful I am for Kristen! She flexed at the last minute to support our sick dog in addition to our cat! She was absolutely wonderful, super communicative, and took awesome care of our babies.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs almost my whole life and currently have two with my wife. We are obsessed with our “children” and I look forward to meeting more furry friends. I will take care of your pet with the same attention and care as I do for ours. I have a full time job but get breaks throughout the day. I stay local to the Cincinnati area so can be flexible with timing. I can also do weekends. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run. We also have two Bernadoodles who are 2 years old and love to play.

About: I have a dog who I have helped raise for 7 years. Within those 7 years, I have grown to love every animal and value them. I’m currently an incoming college freshman so I’m almost completely free every day! I have a part-time job so I would like to have requests sent to me before Sunday every week. I’m happy to do anything for you and your pets, so reach out! I have a big backyard that my dog loves to run around in. I feed him, take him outside, and help my mom groom him whenever needed! I’m able to do almost everything for your pets.

About: I have experience working with dogs from a daycare/boarding facility. I grew up with animals and I have a dog of my own. I am an animal lover from the bottom of my soul, and will always put their needs first. Your baby is in good hands! I am currently at home full time. When booking with me you'll know that your baby will have my undivided attention. Any change in availability will always be on my calendar. I have a small fenced in yard that your puppers can access at anytime and 2 dogs of my own that love making new dog friends. I will follow instructions diligently and use my Pet Care experience to properly provide for your baby. I can also bring my dog along, if you'd like, for some extra playtime.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for years and have had dogs my whole life. I have trained my own dogs from puppy up and have experience with puppies up to senior dogs. I have had all sizes of dogs from small to large and can handle them all with care. I currently have full time availability to help take care of animals during the day from anytime in the morning to later in the night. I currently don’t have any animals of my own since I just recently moved out of my parents house. My pets are there. We have three dogs who love to play outside and I am always out there with them playing fetch or just relaxing. I believe that dogs deserve the most attention and outdoors time as possible especially mine who thrive outdoors.

“Elizabeth did a fantastic job watching my bunnies. I received pictures of them while I was away along with updates. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Laura was great! Very friendly, communicative, and accommodating to some last minute changes. Very happy with the care she took of our girls.”

About: I have four rescue pets (2 dogs and 2 cats) of my own whom I love to spoil, and have been helping my wonderful wife pet sit for the past 5 years as well. We have collectively fostered and help find homes for over 50 animals through Cincinnati Animal CARE- a mix of puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, and kittens! My wife will not be assisting with my pet-care duties however. I also have extensive experience walking leash-reactive dogs and our two dogs are very reactive when walking on leash. I work from home every day, and am easy to work with/very flexible because of this. I can do same day requests as well if needed. Safety is always my top priority with pets! Whether you have a fenced in yard or the dogs need walked on leashes, they will always have a close eye on them at all times within my care. I am comfortable using different types of harnesses and leashes as well.

About: Had a dog for most of my life. Love all dogs. Experiences with many different kinds of dogs of all shapes and sizes. Thank you Retired and available! Would prefer mornings and afternoons but can make most times and days work for you and your dog. Hope to hear from you. Enjoy walking and hanging with dogs. I’ll care for your dog like it is my own dog. All my dogs have lived a long enjoyable life.
