“Jennifer was so great with Tiggy! She was able to get him to come out for pets and love! He had an accident and she cleaned it up for us with no complaints. The pictures she sent were so sweet too! I will gladly book with her again!”
“Toryn was very nice and reliable. She was very understanding of Somi's anxiety with new people and seemed at ease with her. Will definitely keep her in mind next time we need someone to drop in for a bathroom break again!”
“I watched Jennifer with Javie from my Ring doorbell, so I felt like I was there. Javie had a blast running around the yard. However, he found an old rawhide bone in the yard which would not be good for him. To get the old bone away from him, she gave him a new bone from the kitchen, which he preferred and then relinquished the old one. Javie can be very possessive of his toys and bones, so I really appreciated that Jennifer knew how to handle the situation. She was calming and encouraging, she is really good with him. I highly recommend Jennifer to those looking for a a care giver that is looking out for the best for their pet.”
About: I have taken care of all different types and breeds of animals, such as dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, birds, horses, and guinea pigs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, including administering medication and basic training. I’m currently a student at UC Blue Ash, with classes Monday through Friday, typically from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM. I’m always available for pet care before and after those hours, and I’ll keep you informed of any changes to my schedule to ensure consistent, reliable care. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s regular routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also handle any special needs like medication, crate training, or senior care. I always keep the home tidy and give regular updates with photos so you stay connected while you're away.
“Very responsive and sent out messages and photos while we were away. We were traveling internationally with poor cell/internet and I knew they were being taken care of. We have one cat that often hides from cat sitters, but he didn’t :)”
“Karla is always so kind to our dog Luna. She always lets us know when she is on her way so we know Luna is being taken care of. Karla also brings in the packages from the porch which we appreciate so much. Highly recommend her services to anyone who needs help with their pets when they are gone or work long hours!”
“Jennifer is amazing! She always responded quickly and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I love! I felt very at ease leaving our cat in her care while we were away.”
About: I have been helping care for dogs since I was 10. I grew up with Dalmatians, dachshunds, black labs and Dobermans. To say I love dogs is an understatement. Our dachshund (16) recently passed away and my daughters and him were best friends! I am not ready to have a dog back in the house full time but have realized, after dog sitting for a friends and family’s dogs, this would be a great way to help care for others pets. My husband and I work from home so letting the dog out is no problem for us. While we do not have a fenced in yard, we do have a lead to let them out on and take frequent walks. We love to take dogs on hikes in the bike trails behind our house. Working from home enables us to make sure your doggy is well taken care of and loved on. We love walking dogs and playing fetch.
About: Hi, I’m Angel! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I can’t imagine a home without them. I have two cats - Sasha, a gentle fluffball, and Bane, a clever foodie with a playful streak. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to shy senior cats. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just as if they were my own. Whether that means daily walks, play sessions, cuddle time, or just keeping them company, I adapt to their needs and your routine. Your pets’ happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. I’m a college student in Dayton, and I make time between classes to care for pets. I’m available on Sundays, Saturdays, Thursdays, and Tuesday evenings for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or cuddles, I’m happy to fit pet care into my weekly routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

I also give extra love and reassurance so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and currently have a Shih Tzu and five cats. I have experience giving medications, working with rescues, and caring for senior or special needs animals. I’ve also provided pet sitting and drop-in visits for many friends and family members over the years. As a pet photographer, I’ve worked with all kinds of animals- shy, playful, quirky, and energetic. I treat every pet with love, patience, and respect like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already care for my own pets throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give full attention to your pet’s needs — whether that’s a midday walk, a calm visit for snuggles and feeding, or keeping a consistent routine while you’re away. Animals are a big part of my life and I intentionally build my day around giving them care, comfort, and companionship. I treat every client’s home and pet with the utmost care and respect. I always follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and double-check everything before leaving. I wash my hands before and after visits, keep a calm presence around the animals, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Mackenzie is pleasant, engaged, and communicates well. She followed directions regarding care and feeding, and was willing to be flexible with drop-in times to the extent that it worked with all of our schedules. We recommend and will be booking future drop-ins with her!”
