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.

About: I used to be a pet sitter for a vet who had all kinds of animals! Cats, dogs, fish, birds, you name it! I can administer medications, clean litter boxes, play time, long walks, and anything else your pet may require. I work full time close to the University of Cincinnati from 8-4 Monday-Friday. I can stop by right after work or later. Your pets safety and happiness is my priority. I currently work a full time job from 8-4. I would love to take care of your pup when I get off work or drop by later if need be! Durning drop-in visits and walks, I focus on following all instructions provided by the owner and ensuring the pet is happy and comfortable. I will provide fresh water, play time, brushing, cleaning the yard or scooping the litter box, whatever the animal needs I will provide. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy and healthy and keep to their normal routine as close as possible.

About: I have had a dog in my house since I was born! So I grew up around all kinds of dogs, big and small. I have experience administering medicine to dogs of all ages and experience administering insulin shots to our diabetic senior miniature Doberman. Pet sitting was my very first job! I had countless neighbors rely on me to care for their fur babies since I was 10 years old. In college, I was in a group called 4 Paws for Ability at Miami University, where I fostered service dogs in training for the semester. My job was to socialize the dogs and basically take them everywhere with me before they could graduate from their training and be placed with a family. I’m currently taking some time off of work to figure out my next career move. I just relocated back to Cincinnati (I grew up in Loveland) after selling my house in Kentucky and am trying to figure out what I want to do next! I am very flexible at the moment and want dedicated my time to this. I have two cats at home and my roommate has a chocolate lab. Because of this, I would prefer to watch your pets at your home because our place is kind of small!

“My husband and I travel a lot for our jobs. It never gets easier leaving our girls at home, whether for a short trip or a faraway, lengthy trip. However, we have great peace of mind knowing Allison & Joel take such amazing care of our two cats every time! One is a stubborn, older cat who requires pills twice a day and a special diet. Allison and Joel send great updates and are quick to respond!”


“Brooklyn did great taking care of my high energy dogs. Will be using her again in the future and would recommend her to those looking for someone to care for their fur babies.”


“Johnny was great and really responsive… and, importantly, our dogs found him very approachable!”


“We are so thankful that Taylor took care of our cat. Taylor was very communicative, shared lots of pictures, and clearly cared for our cat well.”


“I just adopted my dog this spring and she was extremely skittish at first. Jessica's been a fantastic help with her drop-in visits! Very dependable and always gives me a helpful update on how each visit goes.”


“Aleksandra was great with our dog Chase.”


“Anna was very communicative and took great care of my cat!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years and love to take them on walks/runs! As a runner, I have found the best way to get your steps in is with a furry best friend. Whether it’s a singular walk or a play date at our house, I will make sure your dog is having the time of your life and sleeps like a baby at night! I work for a real estate company and have a very flexible work schedule. I am able to care for your dogs at all times of day and can talk them for walks or run in any weather! I care of my pets as if they are my own. I will run your dogs, take them on long walks, or bring them to my place for playtime with my dog. I have been running and taking dogs on long walks for years. Whether it’s to get out energy or help them with their weight, I make sure they have a good, safe, and exciting walk!

Avery J.
“Sparky gets so excited every time he sees Avery at the door. He knows he’s about to get the walk he deserved. One thing I love about Avery is that he always takes Sparky to new parts of the neighborhood and keeps a good level of variety in his routes (park, sidewalk, etc.). I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone to wear out your pup.”
