“Dawn is super nice! She is very responsible, she spent with our Sophie 2 days , she sent pictures and update all the time. When I came back it was complete order in the my home. She has the best service I have ever had. I'll defenetly book her again.”
“Bobbie went over and above with all my pets. Oliver is blind and still acts like a puppy so he can be a handful but Bobbie and her family treated him like one i or f their own. I could tell that he was super comfortable in their care. She took the best possible care of Dottie and Toby as well. Bobbie was awesome with the daily pics and updates and was very flexible with our vacation schedule. We’ll be using her on our next vacation for sure.”
“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I am a certified dog groomer as of 2019. I also take in stray kittens and find them vet help as well as their forever families. I currently don't work, my kids are home for the summer. I have 3 cats and a dog. My animals are feed 2 times a day. I used to be a mobile groomer so I have experience with coming to clients homes and discussing comfort levels and needs of their pets.
About: I have experience cat and dog sitting for various breeds and ages, and have been doing this for most of my adult life—I love it. From taking your dogs on walks, staying over night with your kitties or puppies, or even taking care of them when they are sick (I have experience with diabetic cats), I would love to make sure your pet is taken care of just as you would yourself. I’ve dealt with rambunctious wire hairs, skittish kittens, and everything in between. I am so excited to meet your favorite doggo or kitto and love on them! I currently work a full-time 9-5 job. When it comes to drop-ins and walks I am available before 8:30 am and after 5:30 pm during the week. My schedule on the weekends is more open. When housesitting I am available to stay overnight for as long as needed, but do want owners aware of my work schedule to make sure it will work for them and their animals. However you choose for me to care for your pets inside your home I am ready and prepared to do! I love cuddling with your pets and making sure they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. All I ask is for clear instructions so I can keep your fur baby’s schedule and environment as consistent as possible.
“Cierra was great! She arrived at the time she was scheduled to and took good care of my dogs. She stayed over night and sent me updates and photos of the dogs during her visit. When I got home the house was just how I left it and the dogs were very happy. She did an excellent job and I look forward to using her services again! Thank you, Cierra!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. Their quirky personalities and cuddly moments never get old! While I’m a lifelong cat lover, I also have a soft spot for dogs and have plenty of experience caring for both. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’ve been there every step of the way. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just companionship, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. I work full time at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Even with a busy schedule, I make time for what matters—so I’m available for pet care visits after work on weekdays, anytime after 2 PM on Fridays, and fully open on weekends. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pets feel loved and cared for, even when your schedule gets hectic. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority, whether they have paws that pounce or tails that wag. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding routines, and I always keep a close eye on behavior and health. Whether it’s a curious cat or an energetic pup, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, gentleness, and lots of love. You can trust that they’re in safe, caring hands.

“Stephanie offers pet parents excellent communication and is a very responsible sitter. Our cats love Stephanie, even the super skittish one. We look forward to booking her again.”
“We had a unique situation and opportunity to be away for 1 week, come home for 1 1/2 days and leave again for another week. What we wished for our 3 dogs (2 of the 3 senior dogs) was that they stay in their own home and yard with as little disruption as possible. Donna allowed us to do that by staying at our home and maintaining our dog routines for us. Our dogs had a "stay - cation" and we had the vacation. Donna posted pictures and sent us notes so we didn't worry. Upon our return we found 3 happy girls who welcomed us home as if we never had been away. Also upon our return we found a plate of delicious cookies handmade by Donna”
“Sharon was great! She house sat for me and checked on my cat for five days. She sent photos every day, reached out if she had any questions. My cat is very shy and she spent time everyday to get her comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt like my cat was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend! 5/5!”
