“Katie is not only a great sitter but stays cool while facing an emergency situation (two visits from the fire department in the middle of the night!) 😳 A faulty smoke alarm ! Katie, thanks so much for your care of our brood and handling a tricky situation !”

“I have used Laci for both drop in and overnight services. She met with us for a meet and greet before the sitting dates. My Lola took up to her right away. Laci provided updates and picture and followed directions left for her the day of the sittings. I would seek out her service again for sure!”


About: I have experience caring for both puppies and adult dogs, including dogs with disabilities, cats, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, turtles, a pig and a squirrel. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic care, providing companionship, and monitoring their overall well-being. I am comfortable adapting to different temperaments, energy levels, and mobility requirements, ensuring each animal receives patient, attentive, and compassionate care. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in handling animals safely, recognizing their needs, and creating a positive and supportive environment for them. I am currently unemployed, but I am looking for a part time job. As of now I am available Monday through Sunday. When I find a part time job, I will update my availability! When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and established routines. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household rules. I ensure doors, gates, and windows remain secure to prevent pets from escaping, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and monitor pets for any signs of illness, stress, or unusual behavior. I provide plenty of attention, companionship, and enrichment while maintaining a clean and safe environment. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their animals and home are being treated with respect and responsibility.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats but have also had reptiles as well. Animals are something I throughly enjoy being around and caring for. You can be assured that your animals will recieve the care and affection they need and deserve if you decide to book me for your pet sitting needs! I work full time 3rd shift so am available mostly during the day. Most weeks I work 4 days Monday through Thursday. With enough notice I can be available anytime. I provide a fun and safe environment for all of the animals I care for. I’m not in this app to just come to your house and provide basic needs (unless of course that’s all they need) . You can insure that your animals will get lots of affection and care. This app is a hobby for me and I do it because I love animals and enjoy helping others.
“Emmaline was super responsive and clear during her stay. Our dogs took to her quickly and she left our house cleaner than when she arrived. Will definitely be booking Emmaline before our next trip!”

“I just want to say Brody is outstanding. He goes above and beyond. He keeps you updated, sends great quality photos, and truly cares for your dogs like they’re his own — even like family. I highly recommend him, 11/10. Very professional and a genuinely great guy.”

About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life of all sizes! As a college student, I'm really missing my pets back home. I'm really looking forward to caring for others pets! As a college student, my availability is very flexible. Afternoons and evenings are the most ideal for me, however, I can still work in morning hours occasionally! Full availability offered during the weekends. Please let me know your pets preferences and I'll easily be able to accommodate for them🫶. I'm very happy to take your pet on walks or simply keep them company while you're away
“Alex is a fantastic pet sitter. The instructions for my senior cat can be a bit complicated - Alex took care of her and our golden retriever so well. Highly recommend. She left our house the way we left it, was very communicative, and trustworthy person.”

“Alex did a fabulous job with our very picky kitty! Very responsive and incredibly helpful with our many requests! Thank you so much for everything Alex and we can’t wait to have you take care of Zelda again!”

“Jennifer is wonderful. She was prompt and took such good care of my dog. I got updates from her on regular basis, this made me feel at ease that my dog is in good hands. He usually takes a while to warm up to new people. With Jennifer it was instant. I highly recommend trusting your pet with Jennifer .”

“April did an excellent job with our two dogs. She had Rascal that is afraid of people very comfortable with her and both got a lot of attention. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She left the house clean and even washed the sheets and made the bed, it was so nice to come back after a long trip and have everything look so good, specially, Cassi and Rascal! We highly recommend April.”

“Julie kept us well informed about how Cooper was doing. He had nice long walks and play time in the yard with Julie. These are things we are unable to do with him so he loved it. Definitely would use Julie again.”

About: Hello, my name is Jordan. I am a pet sitter based in Mount Orab, Ohio! I have 4 cats and a little Chiweenie Puggle with my boyfriend. I often take care of strays around the neighborhood and have even taken in a few. I work to advocate for those who don't have a voice. I enjoy walking in the outdoors! Perfect for your little pup full of energy. I have always had a passion for animals since I was little, accumulating a lot of pet care experience under my belt with smaller animals over the course of a decade. I always treat every furbaby as if they are my own. I cannot wait to meet yours, they will have my full heart and attention! Always up to answer those questions and concerns, you can rely on me to be there for you and your dog. I tend to specialize in small dogs and other small animals. I have a fairly flexible schedule due to working for myself currently, making plenty of time for your pet throughout the week Monday through Sunday as well as most holidays! I care for the pets in and around my home by feeding with set schedules, cleaning up any messes created, scooping litterboxes everyday, cleaning food bowls, walking my dog multiple times throughout the day, crating my dog at night, as well as keeping them enriched and entertained!
“Taylor took amazing care of Ranger! She even took him for walks! I felt 100% at ease leaving him in her care. She sent pictures regularly, played and snuggled with him! I certainly will book her again!”

“Amber did an amazing job watching our pets and house. She was very well organized and showed great respect for our pets and house. I would recommend Amber and would hire her again.”
