“Michelle was super kind, flexible, and took great care of my pup!! He got lots of exercise and attention & she kept me updated on the schedule, followed all instructions, and provided pictures. Thank you!!”

“Evie stayed at our home, over the long holiday weekend, to watch our two large Labradors. She provided excellent care, and played with them often in our backyard. Evie was a wonderful house guest! You couldn’t even tell she had been staying there. She provided great communication which was a huge plus, so we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies. We look forward to using Evie for our next trip away!”

“Morgan was great taking care of our dog and 3 cats. She was even willing to help us organize contingency plans if our flights were cancelled or delayed due to inclement weather. Morgan was responsive and took great care of pets. We’ll certainly be asking for her help in the future.”

“Teagan has house sit for our sweet pup several times, and always takes such great care of him! She communicates often and sends lots of photo updates. I always know my dog is in great hands, and will continue to book with her whenever she is available! Thanks again Teagan! ☺️”

“Mark always does a great job with our dogs. He loves on them and spends time with them while we're away. He's very good at responding in a timely manner. We wouldn't hesitate to book him again in the future.”

“She has her own bedroom at our house. She’s here a lot. Funny thing is we probably wouldn’t even recognize each other at the grocery store. She would sure recognize the dogs, though. Need I say more? Lol.”


“Lily was great! Professional communication, gave us an update and photo while we gone, and left our home tidy. I would definitely recommend and plan to book her service again.”

“Bobbie was wonderful! My husband and I were scrambling to find a sitter last minute after our original plans with a friend fell through. I was very nervous to have someone new come stay with our dogs, but we really had to trust Bobbie and her already great reviews. She sent us lots of pictures and updates each day that made us feel very comfortable with how Lady & Olive were settling in with her. When we got home there was a very sweet little care package she had left us, with handwritten updates on each day with the dogs and when they went potty or played. Her attention to detail was incredible! Don't hesitate to schedule with Bobbie!”

“Aubree has been so great with our babies. She kept me updated the entire time which I truly appreciate. They love her and will definitely book with her in the future!”

“Mercedes was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She communicated thoroughly and consistently. She sent lots of pictures and met the needs that we requested. She made the process so smooth and relieved stress for my husband and I about the well-being of our puppies. When needed she will be our first choice in the future and would recommend her 1000%!”


“Emily took amazing care of my animals and my home! She sent pictures daily and all my fur babies were happy and healthy when I returned. My home was clean and just as I left it. I definitely recommend!”

“Sadie was amazing dog sitter for my super anxious dog, Murphy. I was concerned about leaving her for the night. Sadie did an incredible job taking care of Murphy, sending me frequent updates and pictures. She made my evening/night go smoothly at ease. I would definitely recommend Sadie for dog sitting. She is incredible, reliable and very caring. I will hire her again whenever I need one in the future. Big kudos to Sadie!!!”


About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping pets happy and healthy with my own animals at home. In addition to caring for my pets, I’ve house sat for families for weeks at a time and have experience watching multiple large dogs as well as small dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving your pets plenty of attention, I always treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine since I have two dogs, two cats, a gerbil, and fish of my own. I work part time at ProMedica Hospital, and my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight house sitting, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care and make sure your pets stick to their normal routine while you’re away. I don’t have any other commitments outside of my part-time job. I always care for pets based on their individual needs and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive lots of attention, and are kept in a clean, safe environment. I’m happy to go on walks, clean litter boxes, take dogs outside for potty breaks, and give updates so owners know their pets are doing well. When caring for pets, I treat them like they’re my own by being patient, attentive, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away.

“Kendall did an excellent job watching our pets (two dogs and a cat) for a week. She would go outside with our dogs multiple times a day, and kept everyone fed and entertained, which is no small task with our high maintenance, routine oriented cat. We came back to three happy, healthy pets thanks to Kendall. Would definitely book with Kendall again.”
“Outstanding sitter for our two, active dogs. Great communication while we were away. Sent pictures. Asked questions to clarify instructions. A++ and will definitely use again!”

“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 don’t just love animals; caring for them is something I have years of hands-on experience doing. I have worked professionally in dog daycare and have also provided private pet sitting for families since 2022. My experience has taught me how to read canine body language, recognize changes in behavior, safely manage different personalities, and help dogs who may be shy, anxious, nervous, or simply VERY excited to make a new friend! I believe every pet deserves care based on who they are. Some dogs want to play and stay busy, while others would rather curl up beside you and feel safe. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, feeding schedule, and the little things that make them comfortable. I want you to leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and being cared for like one of my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have the experience from working in a structured dog daycare and also provide private pet-sitting services, so I’m accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of the animals in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’ll always make sure we discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. My professional dog daycare and pet-sitting experience has taught me to pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, and each pet’s individual comfort level. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully and never assume that every pet has the same needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to provide a clean, calm, secure environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I started off by helping my mom when she did boarding at her house, then I worked my way to doing it on my own. I've had pets my whole life and I do animal care constantly at my school. I also have been a volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society since 2023! I've had experience with all kinds of animals, from hermit crabs to english mastiffs! I'm always willing to learn new things and get to know each animal individually. I work part time and go to school, so I might be too busy for pets that need a lot of attention or a strict schedule. I want what's best for your pet, so I will be very open with you about my schedule to make sure it works with your expectations! I make sure to send pictures of your pets while you're away! I absolutely love affectionate animals no matter the size, but I will also respect your pet's space if they're not so cuddly. I always ask questions when I have them, so you don't have to worry about me overfeeding or giving them the wrong treat!

Sadie did a great job for us! She is a good communicator and let us know everything that was going on. She also had to deal with internet issues after the electricity went out, and everything went smoothly. She did everything we asked, and left the house in great condition. My two dogs just loved her! She is very conscientious, and we would have her back again.

Evie was great with our 2 dogs. I booked pretty last minute because feeling unsure of having someone come into our home. She did amazing and great communication throughout our trip. Our boys seemed well and not overly crazy when we got home which made me feel that they were well taken care of. Made our trip more enjoyable. Definitely will use her again in the future.

Victoria is an incredible animal care provider! I had friends in from out of town to celebrate my birthday and they have a new puppy with separation anxiety. In order for us to go out, we needed to find a sitter for several hours so my friends could enjoy the night and not stress. Victoria instantly was a hit with my two dogs and their puppy. She’s calm, kind, genuine, and has a ton of experience which made for a stress free evening. The dogs were regulated and felt right at home with her. Highly recommend her and her services. Thank you Victoria!
