Chad took great care of both our dogs. We have an energetic one year old and a laid back six year old..and he was able to keep them both occupied and entertained. He also sent over a bunch of photos daily. Thanks Chad!!!

Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️

About: I love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life and could not imagine life without one! I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience, from Great Danes to puppies, cats and even chinchillas! I have a particular love for senior pets and those that need extra love and attention. I currently have one cat, Tonks. She is 9 years old, a beautiful torbie, former barn cat and current indoor princess. I have previously been the proud mom of 4 wonderful cats and 3 perfect pups who all lived long happy lives. I can’t wait to meet your best furry friends! I’m self employed and am able to cater my schedule around yours! I’m available week days and weekends. I’m also available to stay with your pets overnight while you are on vacation, traveling for work, etc. I treat my clients pets as my own. I will follow your routine and instructions implicitly. Whether that is a nice walk, or a snuggle on the couch, I’m here for all their needs.

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.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8, having owned rottweilers and a pug. I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, ages, and energy level. I am a student at Ohio State looking to make a couple extra bucks while hanging out with cute dogs! I am available weekends and weekdays after 1 PM I give dogs lots of attention through playtime, a walk, brushing them, or just laying with them. I can follow specific instructions with feeding, bathroom breaks, or routines they have. Can also send updates or photos if wanted/needed.

This is the first time Janasha watched the dogs! She always stayed in communication and gave updates at least three times a day without even asking for them. We came home and the pups seemed to be in the best mood and while taking care of! Thankful for her care and accountability! The pics of the girls throughout the weekend was a plus :)

About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

We recently entrusted our beagle, Kylie, to Stacey’s care—and we couldn’t be more grateful that we did. We specifically chose Stacey because of her extensive experience as a vet tech, which was crucial since Kylie suffers from seizures. Her understanding of animal behavior was another key factor, as Kylie is a former puppy mill mama who struggles with significant separation anxiety. Normally, my husband and I don't travel anywhere without Kylie. But due to a sudden loss in our immediate family, we had no choice but to find someone we could trust. Stacey exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly empathetic and reassuring, understanding just how difficult it was for us to leave Kylie for the first time. Stacey went above and beyond—taking Kylie on walks to ease her anxiety and patiently earning her trust. To our amazement, Kylie eventually snuggled up and napped with her, something she only does with close family members. That moment alone spoke volumes. We wholeheartedly recommend Stacey and will absolutely have her care for Kylie again. She brought comfort and peace of mind to both us and our sweet girl during a very difficult time.
