About: I have over 100 hours of volunteer service with SPCA Cincinnati, from walking dogs of all sizes to cleaning cat litter pans. Ever since I was 6 there’s been at least one pet in my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and rodents! I’m a freelancer, so pet care can fit in almost any day and time. If I am unavailable, I will let you know in advance. Attention is not given until all four paws are on the floor. Disruptive/destructive behavior is answered with Positive Interruption. Good behavior is awarded with free treats (please specify when booking if your pet has any food allergies). There are some our dog just doesn’t like, and it would be nice for them to get some use. I’ve found most pets benefit from classical music playing in the house, especially when their people are away.
“Saul takes great care of Mango! He is very patient with her, and even put on her coat without me asking when he came to walk her in the freezing temperatures. I will always trust Saul to walk and take care of Mango.”
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.
“Bear loved Alison! He wouldn't go on walks at first but she worked with him and now he looks forward to his walks every day! I would definitely use her again.”
“Jessica was amazing. Our older dog Wallace occasionally has mild seizures. Unfortunately he had an episode during Jessica's visit. She picked him up and held him until the seizure subsided.”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve owned animals from guinea pigs, dogs, cats, a chinchilla, hamsters, etc. I am available to help care for your pets in any way you need! I am a full time college student so I will update my calendar each month. My schedule on weekdays will vary a little bit and I am very flexible on the weekends for whatever your needs may be! I can adapt to whatever your specific needs may be. Each family is different and their animals needs are different as well so I am willing to learn your ways!
“I can’t say enough good things about Natalia! She’s been walking my puppy Sasha each week for over a month now. She’s always on time, super flexible, available last minute, and sends the best updates with pictures and a detailed description of how the the walks went. I completely trust her with my puppy’s care and being a new dog mom it is somewhat scary to leave your pup with anyone. She even goes the extra mile and has done things past the 30 minute time frame like make sure to fill her Kong treat before putting her back in the crate or even taken her for a longer walk than required if she feels necessary. Natalia makes my life so much easier and Sasha loves her too!”
“Great as always!”
“Got back to me on very short notice! Reliable and flexible!”
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
“Breanna was great and patient with my anxious foster pup. She was also super flexible with scheduling (even on short notice on a holiday). Thanks Breanna!”
About: I began pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 16. Once I became a professional housekeeper, my clients loved for me to housesit while they were away (with the added benefit of a clean house upon their return). Now that I have my own fur family, I'm unable to housesit for long stretches. Life has taught me to be adaptable and to be ready for curveballs thrown my way. I've given dogs medication, cared for aging pets, and cleaned many a puddle and turd with love and understanding. Twice I was bitten by a nervous dog, which triggered a fear response to dogs suddenly approaching me. That experience only increased my love for dogs, and I was able to train my body to react calmly, rebuilding that trust. Dogs love us unconditionally, we must return the favor! I'm self-employed with a variable schedule, so it's easy for me to add a walk or drop-in. Caring for animals enhances my life, so including your pets in my day is a win-win-win situation. I can't have your pet at my house (cats of my own). In a client's home, I balance the needs of the pet with boundaries set by the client (for example, dogs allowed only in certain rooms). I'm happy to follow your instructions out of respect, of course, but also because consistency is needed for encouraging good behavior and the well-being of the pet.
“My baby can be shy and anxious at times but she seemed to love Brooklyn! Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Catherine took great care of my pup while we were out of town. Would definitely book again!”
About: What sets me apart is my deep passion for animals and five years of hands-on experience working with pets of all kinds. I’m currently preparing to go to college to become a veterinarian, so every pet I care for gets my full attention, patience, and love. I have experience with anxious dogs, senior pets, and basic training for puppies. I’m also great at reading animal body language and adjusting to their unique needs to keep them comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and tail wags are my top priorities! I currently work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and lots of availability for pet sitting and walks. While I do prefer at least two weeks’ notice to plan ahead, I’m also happy to work around your needs—even if it’s a last-minute booking. I’ll always do my best to be there for you and your pup when you need it most! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a calm, safe, and clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, or medication schedules. I keep things low-stress and cozy so your pet feels right at home. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and stick closely to your instructions to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent. I take time to bond with them, keep them engaged, and send regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I am active and love taking care of pets. I am adaptable and can work in any setting while still being very organized and on task. I am currently a college athlete at Xavier University and manage my course load along with my athletic commitments. While I do have a lot going on I have lots of downtime away from sports and school where I would love to spend it helping people out. I have 2 dogs, ages 5 and 7, that live in my home. I live in an area with easily accessible walking paths and parks while also have a yard for dogs to play in.
“Spencer was wonderful and my dogs thoroughly enjoyed their walks with him. I completely trusted him in their care while I was away.”
About: I’m passionate about dogs and offer personalized care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or administering medication, I ensure your dog feels safe and loved. With experience caring for senior dogs, I understand the extra patience and attention they require, providing gentle walks and extra comfort to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a spacious outdoor area for supervised playtime. While the yard is fully fenced, I ensure your pet is closely monitored during outdoor time. I also have a cat, and I make sure all pets are introduced and get along well. When caring for your pet in your home, I stick to their routine and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being
“Very nice young lady, friendly, Coco lived her and enjoyed the time and attention from Anna. On time, and very personable. Will definitely book Anna again.”
About: I adore all dogs as if they were my own. I have never owned a dog of my own but since I was in grade school I have watched neighbors and family members dogs. I think that by not having a dog, it allows me to appreciate the time I do spend with dogs more. The past few years I have been a dog-sitter for a friend and have absolutely loved it. I have experience in training puppies (basic skills such as sit, paw, fetch). Pet care will be balanced into my weekly routine because I love to help others and provide quality care for their pets. Pet care will be rewarding because not only will I be able to help families, but I can also get to know new dogs and take what I learn from one onto others. As I am still in school it would be best to watch a dog on Saturday or Sunday mornings to evening. I care for pets in my home by providing a warm, welcome, and loving environment. I will provide pets with everything they need such as toys, water, food, walks, and love!

“I have observed Dee interacting with dogs( and cats) for many years and she seems to have an affinity to understand what they need and correctly identify their body language.She displays a great love for dogs and I believe they sense that.I once saw her settle a neighborhood dog that had " escaped" from his owner and was running wildly throughout the street.The dog was not responding to his owner yet Dee was able to calm the dog and return him safely to home. A friend has a dog that was stranger reactive with a reputation of being aggressive and bothersome-within a very short time of meeting Dee dog Bella was snuggling with her. We all were astonished. Dee is quiet and dependable; she is pursuing a degree in Biology at the University of Cincinnati with the goal of working with animals and birds as her vocation.”

Jim has been dropping in on our basset hound puppy while my wife and I are at work since she was about 3 months old. He continues to do a fantastic job. He is caring, thoughtful, and professional. Our dog adores him.
Very professional and friendly. Our dogs immediately took to Nathan and he did a great job keeping them calm during the walk. Came prepared and asked questions for an initial meet and greet, so we felt comfortable with entrusting our pups to him.
Allison walked our dog multiple days in a row while it was subzero temperatures. Good communication, timely, and would book again. Thanks!
Megan was great with my pup, very responsive and understanding when there was an issue with getting into my apartment. Highly recommend.
Julia did great with visiting Gabby. She made sure Gabby was taken care of while I was away, sent pictures and gave Gabby a lot of attention. I will definitely request her service again. Highly recommend!
William was prompt and very easy going with our dog. He was confident and gentle. We would have him back again .
First time having Johnny walking my dog while I was out of town and definitely not last. Great communication, he met me and my dog before booking him which make me feel very comfortable leaving my dog on his hands. Will definitely book with him again.
Amanda walked my dear Zeke dog every week for seven months then stayed on as a sub when her schedule changed. Her upbeat personality brought joy to Zeke with each interaction; he loved their date nights! Amanda is reliable, communicative, trustworthy and loving. She and Zeke shared a precious bond because she spent time getting to know him from day one. I am forever grateful for the dedicated and invaluable care Amanda provided Zeke. Thank you💕💚🐺💚💕
