He spends so much time with her and you can tell he really cares about animals. His family plays and spends time somChloemdoes not have time to miss us. He sends us pics and videos throughout our vacation and it just makes my wife feel so comfortable knowing she is in GREAT hands. Highly recommend David to watch your pup, he has a great family.”

“I would give more stars if I could! Keith and Wendalyn took loving care of my darling Penny as if she were their own dog. Lots of fun walka, cuddle time, time outside. They also made sure Penny adhered to her somewhat strict diet but also got to enjoy some treats. Hoping to rebook with them for my next out-of-town trip!”
“Rose was such a blessing! We’re from out of town and needed an unexpected sitter last minute and she was there to save the day! Sent updates throughout the day and took super good care of our old pup! Would absolutely recommend her care to anybody!”
“Christiana was great! Our two dogs seemed to enjoy their time there & especially loved being able to run around in the backyard! She sent us pictures and updates throughout and was very responsive when I checked in with her!”
“Samantha was wonderful! So friendly, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dog, Finn. He’s 11 and can be a little finicky when staying somewhere new, and she even made him fresh eggs (his favorite breakfast topper) to encourage him to eat. She sent lots of photos, kept us updated, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. We’re so happy to have found a great local sitter and hope she can watch him again!”
“First time using Rover & leaving our precious pup with someone else. We are so glad we found Carey! She helped us feel at ease and sent lots of updates & pictures! Her dog is very sweet & the 2 of them got along without issues. He was well cared for & loved. He also got a lot of exercise! So much better than being locked up in a kennel! We hope she can watch him many more times in the future!”
“Swetha and family take the best care of Toby. She sends pictures and updates frequently and responds immediately. This was Toby’s third stay and we will definitely board with Swetha again.”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“Shannon and Robert provided excellent care for our Dog while we were away. They kept in contact everyday and sent pictures. They are a very sweet dog loving family. No worries what so ever leaving out dog with them. We will definitely use them again.”
“Kathy and Jim were phenomenal!!!! I was super nervous about leaving our dog during the 4th of July because she is so scared of fireworks. However, Kathy and Jim did an amazing job with her and kept me in contact the entire time. They have the perfect set up for a dog and I felt so comfortable leaving our girl with them. Throughout the stay, they sent me multiple pictures and videos each day. They spoiled our girl and I know they took fantastic care of her. They took her on multiple walks a day and gave her all the loving while were gone. We will definitely be using Kathy and Jim again in the future!!!”
“Mike was very welcoming and it was obvious our pups loved the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Mike’s house and his demeanor. I highly recommend Mike to watch your dog(s).”
About: Dogs have always been a significant part of my life. I've gone through agility class, traveled around with them, and performed medical care as needed I retired about a year ago from the healthcare field. I am frequently available to care for dogs and cats in many situations and time frames I live in a complex with a doggie walk and a fenced in area. I can care for your pet at your home as well, and can walk and exercise them.
About: I got my first puppy for my 10th birthday. She was entirely my responsibility. I fed, bathed, and trained her. She was a huge white shepherd and the sweetest thing on paws I still miss her. Since then, I’ve had many, many dogs and cats through the years. I’ve been through dog training school several times. I currently have three full-sized Goldendoodles who are reasonably well trained, although they are still way too friendly. I’m retired and available about any day except Sunday afternoons: noon church service. I get my groceries delivered, so I’m here most of the time. I try to walk one of mine every day, weather permitting. I would walk your pup before I walk mine. I also have a fenced-in back yard where the dog run and play. My house is dog friendly, and I’m not overly concerned with dirt. I also have the world’s best vacuum cleaner to deal with it and all the hair. lol I have a large fenced-in back yard with river rock instead of grass, so mud is not a problem. My three friendly Doodles love racing around, especially in the snow, and they would love to add your dog to the fun. At the end of the day, we all go upstairs and sleep in my room with a baby-gate blocking the door, so there is no house roaming overnight. I also have room for crates if that’s what your dog needs to feel comfortable. I have one cat who is comfortable around dogs and knows where to hide if necessary. Please have your dog be familiar with cats or at least won’t attack her if she tries to make friends. I can accommodate special diets and know how to use a pill gun for medications.
“Our pups love Miranda! Our go-to sitter - we know they are loved and taken care of when they are with her. She is very responsive when booking & provides updates/pictures of our babies throughout their stay. Highly recommend!!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oberlin home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oberlin.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
