About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and extensive experience with dogs of all ages, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, SubQ, IM) and can handle everything from bathing and walking to drop-ins. Friends and family often rely on me for their pets' needs, knowing they’ll receive the best care while they’re away. I’m currently available every day for your pet sitting, walking, and drop-in needs. I live in the Norwood/Oakley area and love getting my steps in while ensuring your pets have the support they need while you’re away! Your pets will be in excellent hands with me. Our home features a small, secure yard and hardwood floors with HVAC for their comfort. If your pet is crate-trained, we’re happy to use their crate. Our neighborhood offers fantastic walking routes, ensuring plenty of exercise and exploration. Rest assured, safety and trust are my top priorities, and your pets will enjoy a cozy and caring environment while you’re away.

She sent plenty of photos that made us know he was being loved and cared for. Would absolutely book her for our next trip!”


“Katherine took great care of my skittish cat, Whisper! Whisper rarely comes out when strangers are around, but Katherine is so good that she was willing to come out to say hello. Katherine is a great communicator as well. I appreciate all of her help!”


About: I grew up with plenty of dogs in my family, and I was usually the designated dog sitter. All of my family and friends dogs grew up with me so I've delt with puppies and older dogs alike. I have watched dogs for months at a time and have enjoyed every last minute. I work a 9am-5pm from Mon-Fri so I am mostly busy then. I usually work from home the second half of the week so there is some flexibility on those days. But I have a completely open schedule Saturday and Sunday. My complex has multiple large fenced grass areas. I also love going on walks, so I am definitely willing to take them to parks. I own extra leashes, footies, beds, treats and other doggie essentials. If there are any concerns, I am willing to accommodate for dog.

About: I am a lifelong pet lover. Would love to care for yours. Love the seniors and can give meds. Walks and playtime are the best! I am retired. Monday morning I volunteer at Ohio Cat Resource (OAR) and Wednesday is taking care of human nephew during business hours. Mostly flexible rest of the time I am happy to care for your pet at your home. I am retired and flexible. I would treat your pet and home with TLC

“Hannah is the best & so sweet to cali!”


“Very good pet sitter Penny enjoyed the company.”


“Johnnisha was wonderful! She was accommodating and flexible with logistical challenges on our end. She took great care of our cat, sending plenty of pictures each day.”

About: I have been a dog owner for many years. My family and friends have relied on me to watch their pets while they are out of town, both cats and dogs. I have a really flexible work schedule, which would allow me to make mid-day pop ins. I am available for dog walking, which I am most interested in! I am flexible to stay in the client’s home or my own. My dog is older and gentle, but if someone needs a no-pet home or need me to stay at their home, my dog can stay with other family nearby.

About: ✅ Why Book With Me? - I only board one pet at a time — so your pet gets 1:1 care and all the snuggles they deserve. - Fully insured through both Rover Guarantee + my personal Pet Care Insurance for extra peace of mind. - Clean, adorable downtown Cincinnati high-rise — no clutter, no chaos. Just a cozy, calm home. 🐾 Experience You Can Trust With over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve handled just about every personality, routine, and quirk you can think of: - Pets with severe anxiety - Pets needing oral meds, ear drops, eye drops, or feeding support - Pets with appetite issues in new homes (yes, I’ve boiled chicken at midnight) - Flight risks or known escape artists (I triple-check doors and leash fittings) - Picky sleepers, potty strugglers, food thieves — I've seen it all 🛏️ What Your Pet Gets - A calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of cozy spots to lounge - No other animals or children — your pet is the star - Daily updates with photos + videos - Cuddles in bed (if allowed!) - Extra-long walks if needed to help them settle in 💬 A Note About My Home I live with my boyfriend. If your pet is shy/initially fearful of men, just let me know — I’m experienced with slow, low-pressure introductions. For pets with intense fear or aggression toward men, I may decline for everyone’s comfort. 💖 Why I Do This I don’t have a pet of my own right now (travel makes it tricky), so I pour my energy into giving yours the love and attention I’d give to my own. Warning: I always get attached. I work full-time on weekdays, but I’m available to walk your pet up to 4 times a day — morning, mid-day, after work, and before bed. On weekends, I’m typically available 24/7 and love taking dogs on my long walks to green spaces in downtown & OTR. Your pet will have full access to all furniture and my bed, if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel completely safe, relaxed, and cared for while they’re with me. My downtown high-rise apartment is clean, pet-friendly, and ideal for dogs who do best in calm, low-distraction spaces. I only host one pet at a time, so your dog gets all of my attention. I live with my animal-loving boyfriend, who is happy to hang out with your furry friend. That said, I’ll decline bookings for pets who are fearful of men — it’s better for everyone’s comfort.

About: I spent my high school in a household with 4 cats (each with wildly different temperaments), and a border collie who loved "herding" them. In the years since moving out, I've fostered 3 cats and house-sat for both cats and dogs. For dogs in particular, I enjoy being outdoors and walking, so taking doggos on walks and playing with them has always come very naturally to me! I have a fully remote job with pretty flexible hours, so I can pop in and out as needed. Whether it be house sitting and vibing with the pets, or going on walks with the dogs, my schedule is fairly accommodating to make things happen! I've grown up taking care of pets with a wide range of personalities and temperaments, and am really good at understanding what pets want and respecting those boundaries.


“AMAZING!!! Cosette came through for us on an emergency visit when our prior appointment cancelled. She sent pictures and even video! We truly appreciate her!!”


“Bethany stopped in a couple times to take care of our cat Chip while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was extremely friendly and professional during our meet and greet and very detail oriented with all of the instructions. She sent pictures while visiting with him over the weekend. We would definitely book her again!”


About: Hey I'm Tyler! For the past few years I've been pet-sitting for people I know, from stopping by real quick to feed the cats to staying a night or even a week at the house to keep an anxious pup company. I've had a deep love for animals since I was a kid and have been known to get most pets to warm up to me rather quickly, even the ones most people might say aren't very friendly. I can't wait to work with you and your furry best friend! My weekdays are pretty much wide open at the moment as I'm preparing to go back to college. I photograph weddings on weekends mostly Saturdays when I'm scheduled (I usually know about a month out when I have one). I always strive to be attentive to a pet's needs by monitoring their behavior and communicating with owners. attention to detail is very important. I also do my best to make pets feel safe and comfortable around me by playing with them, showing them affection or simply being present in the room with them.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back
