Sean watched my older Frenchie for the weekend and I couldn’t be happier. Sean really went above and beyond! He stayed at my place and made sure my dog felt safe and loved including walking her, administering her meds, and spending the whole weekend with her. I will definitely be using Sean again and would highly recommend him!

Drew is an amazing animal lover. Our cavalier, golden retriever and 2 cats absolutely adored him. He sent pictures and was always available when I wanted to talk about the animals. We even FaceTimed the animals when we were in Europe. It is the details that make him someone you want to hire. He made sure our house was safe and extremely clean. Our animals already miss him. We will definitely be hiring him again. Thank you DREW!

Courtney is amazing! I was so stressed leaving my fur babies & she kept me updated the entire time. She put up with their craziness and was very humble the entire time. I couldn’t recommend someone more to watch your fur babies. She is trustworthy, kind, and funny. Thank you for everything. :)

Odara really went above and beyond while watching our pup. She sent us regular updates and pictures and was great about getting Bella regular exercise safely during hot summer heat. She even cleaned bedding and towels that she used before we returned. We highly recommend her and will definitely plan to use her again in the future!

Stephanie was great looking over my dog Grady. She came by the house prior to house sitting to talk through everything to ensure my pup has a great time while I’m gone ? I will definitely contact Stephanie again for house sitting/boarding.

Blair took care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats for 4 nights. She sent daily updates with pictures which we appreciated. She was quick to respond. The dogs all seemed happy. She even was available to stay an extra night when our flight was cancelled. Luckily my husband was able to get home so she didn’t need to. I felt very comfortable with her when she came to meet us and the animals.

We are so grateful to Brittany for taking the best care of our dog Ace and cat Bobby over the long weekend at our house! We got updates at least twice a day on how they were doing, and lots of pictures of two happy pets! She sat outside in the yard with our dog Ace to enjoy the sunshine (something he loves!) and she also took him to the park several times! She was very patient with Ace when it took him some time to warm up to her too. You can tell she's knowledgeable about animals, and loves to be around them! She took great care of our house as well, and we just can't thank her enough!

About: We are looking to make some extra money and love animals so Rover was the perfect fit! Sarah is a neurodevelopmental and behavioral psychologist at CCHMC and Julian is a newly medically retired army vet. Our schedules are pretty flexible so we can usually accommodate families between the two of us! We have a rescue pup at my home who isn’t great with dogs, but we’d love to drop in and walk your pet! Sarah works full time during the week- but her schedule is flexible based on clinics. Julian is currently finding work and working some manual labor jobs. Your animal would not go longer than 6 hours without being let out! We like to follow the animals normal routine as much as possible. We will give lots of love, pets, cuddles, and extra attention as well!

About: Hi! I grew up apart of a family that loves pets, especially dogs. Some pets I have lived with are birds, turtles, a snake, cats, bunnies, tarantula, lizards, and goats to name a few. The most dogs we have had at one point is 7 – from a dachshund mix to a great dane and English mastiff. So, I love dogs whether they are small or big and love connecting with them. I have previous experience dog sitting for family, friends, and others in my community. I don’t shy away from most pets and would love to take care of yours! :) I grew up with dogs so I am very familiar with taking care of them on a daily basis. I love walking, playing, and snuggling with dogs. I work a full time job but it is mainly work from home so I am available for drop ins. I usually work 9am to 5pm so I could do drop ins and walks outside of these times and possibly around noon (lunch time). My availability is very flexible on the weekends. I am very kind to animals and make sure they are healthy and being taken care of. I pay attention to them and to the environment they are in as well. I believe I am patient and compassionate with pets. I also try to maintain the environment they are in, making sure everything is clean and no mess is left behind.

Sara did a great job with our pets!! She was professional and sent picture updates throughout. We came home to really happy campers which has been a struggle in the past due to separation anxiety. Highly recommend Sara!

Nicole LOVES animals. She has helped me with my two dogs and she has also helped other neighbors with their dogs, cats and bunnies. She is reliable and she cares about your animals like they are her own. She has fostered cats and helped rescue them. She is the best when you need help with your fur babies!
