Pet care experience

House-Sitter & Pet Caretaker

Hi, I’m AJ, a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had pets since childhood and have house-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I’ll provide attentive care, keep your pets happy and comfortable, and ensure your home stays safe and well-maintained. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you always know how things are going. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—feel free to reach out!

Austin was fantastic from the start and really did a great job taking care of our dog. Our beagle stayed with Austin for 1 night and he was super attentive, listened, and made her feel at home. We were looking for a sitter that more matched our home environment to make her comfortable, versus a kennel. Austin came through on that and our beagle was super comfortable! Austin was very responsive in communications and sent updates during her stay, which we appreciated! Would book Austin again as he treated Roxy very well.

Austin took great care of our dog, Zeke, while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Zeke was in good hands, and we came back to a happy pup and a clean, well-kept house. We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a pet/house sitter!

House Sitting • Oct 19, 2025

We are new to the Cincinnati area, and finding a new pet sitting can be quite daunting. We are so fortunate to have had AJ take care of our 3 papillons and house for the past week. During the meet and greet, my 3 liked AJ immediately. He is a good communicator and very conscientious. We received several updates, and found our dogs happy and healthy upon our return. He also kept our house very tidy. We will definitely book AJ when we need pet sitting in the future. 5☆

Very responsive, sent us daily photos of our pup for our little to see and even offered to go to the pet store to grab wet food for our pup because I forgot to pack it.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet, two-bedroom condo with no other pets, making it a comfortable space to board cats and small/medium dogs. Since I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention all day, and take your dogs outside regularly for walks and fresh air. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, including crating if needed. I also offer house sitting to keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you’re away.
