Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.

I was worried about all of our fur babies being cared for while we went on a 7 day cruise. Cassie was wonderful! She took care of everyone and sent us updates throughout our vacation. I will definitely be using her for our future pet care needs!

Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute. Our dogs (or us) never had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and we came home to happy dogs! I can’t express my gratitude enough and the fact she was able to give me the peace of mind that I needed.

About: Hi! I'm Gress (I go by my middle name), I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have had years of experience caring for pets in my neighborhood growing up. My family has two dogs, a Husky named Luna and a pug named Duckie, so I know what it's like to handle both high-energy pets and maybe more lazy ones. I started pet sitting for families in my neighborhood at a young age, and it quickly became something I really enjoy. I’m reliable and always make sure pets get plenty of exercise and affection. I'm comfortable with all different kinds of pet personalities and ages and would love to treat yours like family! I’m currently a senior at Denison University and love to stay active. At home, caring for my dogs is a part of everyday life. I contribute to the feeding, walking, and playtime at my house-- my dogs love their consistent routines. Adding pet sitting or dog walking to my week is easy because I enjoy it, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention and time they need. In your home, I make sure that I follow the routine and any special instructions that your pet needs and is used to. Having particular dogs myself, I'm familiar with different feeding schedules, medications, walking preferences, playtime, and behavioral needs. I keep their space tidy, ensure they have fresh water at all times, and provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing. Safety and consistency are always my top priorities.

Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.

About: Since before I could speak I loved animals; growing up in rural Ohio on a pig farm we always had dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats and many reptiles and small mammals running around. I've always had a strong love for caring for animals and especially dogs because I love their endless happiness for the world around them. I'm very comfortable around any size and any breed of dog or cat, or to take care of any other pet need you might have! Aside from growing up around more animals than I can count, I used to volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am comfortable with learning any new needs your pet may have. I currently work night shift 4 days a week so I will be available during the daytime for your pet needs! I will be available to walk, do house check ins and feed/water your pets! Although I'm not currently in a position where I can have my own pet or pet sit from where I live, Im very passionate about working with animals and I'm excited to start meeting your babies and helping you give them the best care you can from your home.

Charity was fantastic! She came over twice before our trip to make sure that our 2-year-old crazy pup was okay with her. She was very patient and knowledgeable and took the best care of all our animals (2 needy dogs, 2 cats, and a gecko. We'll definitely try to have her come again!

About: Hello! My name is Katelyn and I am the most passionate animal lover you'll meet! I live on a farm with 2 dogs, 3 cats, a paralyzed rabbit named Pete, and 17 chickens. I love taking care of animals and know the stress involved when travelling away from them. For that reason, I would love to alleviate the stress of others who are going on vacation or travelling briefly out of town. I would work hard to ensure your furry loved ones were comfortable and cared for during your absence, as I would my own. I have owned animals all of my life, and have personal experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens! I am also willing to learn about the care of other animal breeds as well 😁 I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) friend!

About: I have a sweet girl myself she’s a pocket American bully not to be confused with an American bulldog HA! From one dog momma to another yes ofc your dog can sleep in my bed! 🥰I’m a full time pharmacy student and a part time pharmacy tech:) but don’t let those busy titles fool you I’m very very revolved around my baby and I can be with your baby too!! I have spent my whole childhood following into adulthood working with very large breed/hyperactive breeds so I’m convinced I can handle anything your pup has to offer me. I’m definitely not the gal who is ashamed of going out with an extra layer of dog hair to complete my look and I’m certainly not one to pass up a slobbery kiss. We have PLENTY of toys to occupy your pup and lots of on the go things for walks and playtime at the dog park(don’t worry I have seatbelts for the pups safety first ;) pls reach out to me for any of your fur baby care you might need I’m very flexible as I’m just doing this truthfully for the pleasure of meeting your sweet babies, giving my gal some friends to play with, and some extra money bc lord knows living isn’t cheap HAHA! Don’t feel like holding back any worry or trait of your pup I promise I’m very sweet and patient as I have had/worked with many pups who give me a run for my money but most of the time those are the ones I love having most! I’m very flexible! I do work and school throughout the week ofc, but my schedule is very capable of being attentive to your pet(s) as well as my own 🩷. If your pup has any care/daily needs that could potentially run into a concern of yours that you believe I may not have time for don’t be afraid to discuss with me I’m more than willing to work with accommodating to your needs!! My sweet gal(her name is Paris 🩷) who I’ve had since I was 9 and I’ve quite literally grown up with is nothing less of a child to me. She is a very big fan of walkies so trust that your dog will be getting all the exercise they could dream of in my care. Paris’s health is very important to me so we make sure to give her a very strict diet of cheeseburgers from McDonald’s… TOTALLY JK! You would think I was making a magic potion with the amount of supplements and extra health benefits into her dinner and I will put the same effort into your pets health if that’s how you roll. She does enjoy an occasional McDonald’s run though and she’d love a friend to get cheeseburgers with :) we are firm believers in dogs ARE allowed on furniture why would it be fair for them to not also be comfy on a couch or bed ?! We are pretty laid back in our home when it comes to the “pet rules” Even if they decide to be a bad girl/boy THATS OKAY! We adults make mistakes too. I will treat your pup(s) like my own and ofc send you pictures and videos every time they do something I know I wouldn’t wanna miss out on seeing.

Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.

My first time using Rover and Lenny did a great job taking care of my dog Rocco. It was so nice to be able to keep him at home in his element opposed to taking him to the kennel. Rocco seemed very happy and content when I returned from my vacation.

She was able to save our weekend by coming in last minute, and with some extra crazy I somehow had the wrong address in there and she adjusted quickly and without any issues. She is reliable and kind and answers all messages! She even vacuumed and took out the trash!! She is absolutely wonderful and I will suggest her to everyone I can!!!
