“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings.

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

“Courtney took great care of my pup! She is very reliable, super sweet, and Honey was a very happy and content dog when we got home. I could tell they spent a lot of quality time together!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing from the beginning. I had some specific needs for my wedding night, and she made sure my 2 babies were on time to the cocktail hour where they made an appearance for pictures. I have an Aussie who is slow to warm up to new people, and he took to Taylor right away. It’s so comforting and reassuring knowing we have someone in the area that I can trust my dogs with, and who love Taylor in return.”
About: Before moving to Cincinnati, I worked in many different pet care settings. I worked for a dog walking/sitting company in Nashville known as Preferred Pets, worked as a bather at the Paw Pad in Canton, worked for Pet Valu when I was in college at Kent State, and as a local dog walker in my neighborhood growing up. I’m very dedicated to the wellbeing of any animal I have the privilege of working with and look forward to seeing each and every pet. Every animal gets guaranteed love, attention, exercise, and play when I’m with them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, aggressive dogs, shy dogs, excited dogs, and every kind in between. No matter the size, age, temperament, or breed, I always dedicate my entire self to the animals under my care. I work full time 7p-5p M-F so if you need a night time or weekend walker, I’m the one for your pet! I’m always available throughout the nights as well. Throughout my professional experience with dogs I have always put their safety first. This includes knowing the major signs of stress dogs display, and recognizing quick temperament changes. I also have been taught proper ways to walk certain dogs depending on how much of a puller they are!
“Pamela was awesome! Sent lots of pics of our babies and spent tons of quality time with them!!!! Great communication. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a house/pet sitter!!!!”
“Andrea was great and I never had to worry about Max on our trip! I loved the photo updates we got. ❤️ we will definitely be using her in the future again.”
“100% would recommend. Very personable, and handled a tornado warning like a pro while we were away. Sia and Lizzie loved her and are looking forward to her next visit!”
“Jared was great with our two crazy puppies and all of our other animals. Sent lots of pictures, I could tell the dogs loved him. Gave us peace of mind during our trip. He also had a great doughnut recommendation for our destination!”
About: I’m so excited to take care of your furry friends! I have plenty of years of dog walking/sitting experience and will treat your pup like royalty! I work full time, so walking after work or on weekends is most favorable for my current schedule. I can potentially make afternoons when we woke from home. I treat my pets like family, always making sure they feel loved and taken care of. I’m also very big on reinforcing whatever obedience/behavior patterns that the owner is prioritizing.

“McKenna is my daughter and she was 8 years old when we got our precious puppy, Zoey. Throughout Zoey’s long life of 15 years, McKenna loved spending time with Zoey frequently taking her out for a walk, playing with her and cuddling with her. I would highly recommend McKenna for your pet care needs if you are looking for a kind, caring and responsible person to love on your dog while you’re busy.”
