“Katelyn is always so wonderful! I’ve used her a few times she the sweetest with my girls and their needs. She’s always so flexible with my travel when she can. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can trust with my babies in my home if I need to leave. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Haley was fantastic! She did an initial meet and greet prior to meet Checkers. During the stay she sent pictures of him sunbathing and snuggling up on the couch. She left the house in tip top shape and notified me when she arrived or left. Haley was super sweet in person and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Danielle was so great with our fur babies and also house sat for us. She’s very responsible and kept us updated with texts and photos. Our dogs were very well taken care of and we so appreciate Danielle taking care of everything while we were out of town.”


About: I am currently a pre-vet student in college. I have worked with several animals most commonly being cats and dogs! I own 3 dogs and a cat of my own! I volunteer at 2 shelters regularly. I dog/cat sit very regularly for family friends! I have also interned at an animal hospital for an entire year! I am just excited to work with animals and get hours for vet school!! I will start working at the Cincinnati Zoo soon so I should have normal shifts. Once I start school I typically don’t do anything other than focus on school so I am very available to care for your animals! I am always just as caring about your place of living and will do my best to keep things clean as I stay there! Hopefully cleaner than when I started! I know animals can be messy and uncomfortable with new people but I will always put forth effort in a safe and clean environment for your fur ball!
About: I grew up with dogs in my home for 24 years. Both puppies and seniors. I love all breeds and sizes. All dogs are adorable! I have my own pup, he has been trained by me and knows a number of tricks. I understand a dogs body language and understand if things need to be taken slow with your fur baby. I will work with aggressive dogs to a certain extent, with an increase in price. I currently work at a dog boarding facility! Book any day, any time (we can always adjust the times in conversation!) I am more than happy to check in and/or walk your loving pup! <3 I am always respectful and thoughtful. Animals are my FAVORITE in the world, they bring me so much happiness each and every day! They’re just so cute 🥹
“Very pleased with Lacey's care of our home and dogs! They loved her to pieces and she was very comfortable with them even though they are big, strong , scary-looking rescue pitties! Highly recommend!”

“We recently entrusted our beloved Pomeranian, Bear, to Sean for the second time, and once again, we couldn't be more pleased with his exceptional service. Sean cared for Bear and our home for a full 10 days, and his attention to detail and level of care were truly impressive. From the moment Sean arrived, it was evident that Bear was in capable hands. Sean's dedication to ensuring Bear's well-being and happiness was unwavering, and it's no surprise that he is consistently in high demand. One aspect of Sean's service that particularly stood out to us was his excellent communication. Throughout Bear's stay, Sean kept us updated with regular messages and sent us pictures, which provided us with peace of mind and reassurance. Additionally, we had several packages delivered during our absence, and Sean, upon our request opened them and keep us informed. As senior pet owners, it's crucial for us to entrust Bear to someone we can rely on completely, and without a doubt, Sean has proven himself to be that person. We have absolute confidence in his abilities as a pet sitter, and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier care for their furry companions. Thank you, Sean, for your exceptional service and for providing Bear with such a wonderful experience. We look forward to booking with you again in the future.”


About: Hi, I’m Ally! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have worked with 12+ different breeds. I love staying active and taking dogs on walks while making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs for neighbors, friends, family members, and through pet-sitting platforms. My experience includes overnight stays, extended care, feeding, walking, bathing, and, of course, spending quality time with your pets. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and overnight stays. I love staying active, so daily walks and spending time with pets easily fit into my weekly routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as much as possible and carefully follow any feeding, medication, or special care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
“Kaitlynn was a great sitter for my two cats. I had to find someone last minute to watch over them and she provided great care while I was away. She sent tons of update pictures and helped with a few things around the house as well. I would definitely recommend her!”


About: I have multiple years of experience taking care of various size dogs (10 lbs to 180 lbs). I have dog walking experience with small to medium size dogs. I have house sitting experience with multiple dogs various weights and breeds. I can adjust care for age and wellness issues. I maintain the feeding and potty break schedules you set for your pet(s). I am open to providing specialized care and medications needed. I am here to listen to who your pet is and what makes him or her special to you. Do they like belly rubs, chasing a ball, pulling on a rope, do they snuggle up during thunder storms, what about that special blanket or stuffed animal? I love interacting and playing with pets throughout the day. When I house sit, I remain on site unless walking your pet. Larger breed dogs I prefer fenced yards. Light house chores are included in my services. I send daily photos or short videos with updates of your pets daily via text letting you know they are safe and loved. I also house sit cats. I volunteered with HARTS non profit which adopted abandoned cats with special needs or who had been abused. I am mostly free unless it's weekends I do see my dad every Saturday however, If you need me to stay an extra week I need at least a 3 day heads up (before or during the time I'm taking care of your cat/dog) to know so I can call my father about it! Other then that I'm mostly free and can take care of your pets for at least a week or if need 2 weeks while your on vacation! I will feed them the food that's needed, if your dog/cat has a special diet please let me know so I can give them the right food, if they have a health problem I need to know so I can take care of them like a sprained ankle or heart problem with the meds ready for me to give them, if your dog/cat has behavior issues I need to know, I have worked with dogs/cats in the past with behavior issues so that's important information to know about, I can take your dog on walks if they are small/medium but if they are large I would prefer of you have a fence in yard please.

About: I have had the privilege of owning two weimeriners. For 12 and 13 years each. I know how to train and care for a puppy and how to medicate and care for a senior dog. I've raised cats since I was a child. My family breed Siamese kittens. So I'm very familiar with cats from birth onwards. More recently I rescued two feral kittens and they have joined my family. I can do medications for all animals and extra care your pets may need. I understand all pets are unique and have their own quirks. I am currently working a flexible part time job. I therefore have plenty of time and love to devote to your fur baby! This allows me to spoil your pet with my time. I am aware that your home is your pet's personal safe space. I have the utmost respect for them and making sure they are comfortable.

“Ann has always been great with my girls! She watched them a few years ago and has recently returned to keep them again. We will definitely continue using her! She always communicates and sends pictures often!”

“We have not used a pet/house sitter before. Lee was awesome. She took such good care of our dog/house. We were able to relax while away knowing Gordon was in such good hands. I don’t think he even noticed we were gone. (Ha) We will only use Lee moving forward. Thanks again for everything Lee.”

About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
About: i have taken care of some sort of animal since i can remember. My first best friend was Danger, a beautiful Pit Bull i potty and command trained at 5 years old. Since Danger i have raised a variety of dogs (big and small), cats (various breeds), my birds (Vickie and Victoria), one turtle, several fish, etc. My longest lived relative was Chewie (small dog) who recently passed away nearly making it to 20 years old! I am in the process of learning food and natural remedies that can extend the lives of dogs and cats as i truly love animals more than most people. Even having a few terrifying memories with animals, i still hold true to the fact no animal is ever evil or wicked, like some humans. If an animal is mean, it has a reason to be such a way, and all it needs to heal and become clean is a little Jesus love to let the small critter know, “You are appreciated.” This mantra and mindset has taken me very far in life, and enables me to be your Pet’s Next Best Friend! Don’t worry, Dogs are happy! Pets are my passion! i ensure you we provide everything your pet needs under one woof! Who is we? Me myself & i, i like big mutts and i cannot lie, but i love the pitter patter of tiny paws too! i know, i know.. “you had me at woof” but i cannot stress enough how pets are my passion. I am the top dog walker & caretaker, and i assure you we will fetch amazing results! Book with us! I double dog dare you! i currently work at a suit shop (Men’s Wearhouse near the Kenwood Mall) selling suits! I am in a transition period of trying to get my first solo dental practice up and running! Those are the two “jobs” which consume my time, but truly i tell you i consider neither real work as i love both as a passion. When i am not doing either of those things i am typically found deep in the Word of God, with my family, or out and about in nature or at a dog park. I have a very wide schedule as i prioritize every second of each day to maximize my time. You ever meet someone and think, “how do you do all that in a single day? Do you have more than 24hrs to work with?” If you have never met someone like this.. hello! Nice to meet you! I am happy to be the first! 🙃 I have the same approach well similar is a better word. My approach for pets in my home is simple. Treat pets as any other honored or distinguished guest. I keep a variety of snacks and treats at home, such as peanut butter, and a variety of other treats like 360 pet care freeze dried snacks, i have a few toys that seem to be popular among cats and dogs, a case of laser pointers, in case one stops working.. hate to be caught without one when the cats especially are having a good time! I try to stay as prepared as possible for any circumstance that may arise. At my clients home i do the same, and i pack a travel bag similar to the one i bring to the dog park when i frequent there. The prime difference between at home and at a clients home is i practice pet care with added, greater attention to detail. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself, but i tell you (myself) love your neighbor greater than yourself, better than yourself, and you will do well! So with that in mind i try to always think of ways to do more, do better, and be better whenever someone graciously invites me to their home, and whatever i devise i later apply it to myself, so my overall abilities may rise, then i rinse and repeat!
