“Dian was the best- warm, welcoming, and very interested in learning about my dog so that she could make his stay comfortable. He usually won’t eat when he’s away from me, but he quickly adjusted and consumed his usual meals. I will definitely be using Dian again!”


“Katelyn and Andria were fantastic! They kept me updated on my pup throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them!!”


“Suzanne was very responsive to messages and kept us updated during the stay. She has a great personality in person as well.”


“I was so comfortable leaving Chance in the care of Marissa and her family. She communicated with me through our entire stay and sent beautiful pictures of Chance adjusting (and loving) his vacay family. A special thank you to her son, who romped with him daily in the Ohio snow. We are so lucky to have them close as we travel a lot.”


About: I have had dogs my entire life. We currently have two sweet cavaliers, age 12 and 8.5 who love to be with other dogs. I was an agility competitor for several years. My husband and I are retired, and home most of the time unless we are traveling. We often care for friends' pets and are happy to provide references. We have a doggy door to a safe fenced area for potty breaks and outdoor play. Your dogs will bed part of our family while with us.

“Wow! What can i i say! Danielle is exceptional! Couldn't have asked for anything better. She was great. Will definitely use her again. She treated her with much love and like one of her own.”



“We never leave Marley - but after a successful meet and greet we were 100% comfortable leaving him with Jennifer! We got pictures and messages during Marley's stay that reassured us even more. We are so happy to have found Jennifer and will be booking another stay for Marley next time!”


“Erin did a great job watching my 13 year old little old dog at her house while I was on vacation. I have my vacation booked for next year and I would definitely use her again for that! Her whole family absolutely adored him and took such great care of him. Thank you so much!!”


“Beth saved the day (week, month!) during a family emergency, and said yes to a last-minute canine house guest ... over Christmas! I needed to find a safe spot for my dad's dog, and Beth not only took her in but also made her feel like part of the household, as well as sending me regular updates and happy photos during their week+ stay. I can't thank Beth enough for her flexibility, openness, and compassion. Highly recommend!”


About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.

“Matt was great! Champ came home exhausted so I know he received great attention and care. I would definitely book him to stay with Matt again!”


“Paul and his wife are absolutely amazing. They’ve cared for my Golden Retriever twice so far and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who’s in need of a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!

“Kate was amazing and you can tell she loves what she does. I was nervous about leaving our dog and worried that she would be stuck in a cage the whole time. However after viewing Kate’s profile I knew she was the perfect person for the job. She went above and beyond, treating our dog like she was one of her own. Kate sent plenty of updates, and got great pictures. I think that Smokey enjoyed her vacation more than we did :) I will definitely use Kate’s services in the future if we are traveling in the area.”


About: I’m very good with different personalities of the dog and can work to what they feel comfortable with. Love giving them attention and making them happy! I am free from 3-7pm after I get off work. Taking care of animals fits perfectly into my afternoon schedule and is a great distressor as well. Depending on the animal we can play more outside or inside make sure they are feeling loved and happy. My dog personally loves being outside so we spend most our time on walks.

About: I have been taking care of special needs dogs for the last few years, and my oldest (Leo) is 22 & still very active. I can also help with puppy training or boarding depending on breed. I work remotely from home so my schedule is pretty flexible aside from taking care of my own dogs & personal life. I am pretty much open without having yo provide much notice in an emergency situation. I treat my dogs like children, and unfortunately are very spoiled with walks & attention on a daily basis. There safety & happiness are my top priority , and would treat ur animals the same.

About: Ever since I was a baby I have always been around dogs. When I was younger we had a boxer named Brutus he was such a goofball he is sadly no longer with me but I still think about him everyday. I now have a St. bernard and doodle mix and her name is Bailey, she is the sweetest girl ever and a lap dog lol. I wake up and see my girl Bailey. She gets a toothbrush bone and goes out every morning while I drink my coffee and then we watch ESPN and she gets a milk bone when I start getting ready for work. My dog is my baby and she means everything to me like a child. She always gets what she wants because she knows how to give me her puppy eyes lol and I understand people want that same love for their animals and I will do that for you because I understand.

About: I have been around schnauzers, and countless other breeds and animals, my entire life. I've raised, cared for, and helped care for one large dog, 5 miniature schnauzers, a cat, a bearded dragon, fish. My first dog was mine at birth. My first attempt to care for an animal was a baby rabbit in the 10th grade, 20 years ago. Sadly, that did not end well. I have helped raise 2 cousins, 3 nephews, 1 niece, and one I consider a niece. I helped care for my grandpa for 6 months in 2011, when he got dementia, and my other grandma, from 2019-2021, also with dementia. I house sat a cat for a week a few years ago. I am allergic to unclean cats, possibly longhair dogs and cats. I've owned 3 dogs, some fish, and recently brought my niece's bearded dragon back to health. I just love animals so much, and would do everything in my power to keep them healthy, safe, and happy. I'm a full time closing delivery driver at Marcos in Woodville, so 4-5 days of the week from between 4 and 5 to between 8 and midnight. My parents would be available during these times as they're home almost 24/7. We have an open yard, with a chain, and leashes. Sometimes we sit my sister's two schnauzers, who are really good, but very excitable. We have dog food and a food dish. I do prefer walks, or outside bonding time while on the chain. Treats after coming in are a necessity.

Nathan W.
“Nate has cared for my dogs on multiple occasions, and I can confidently say he is responsible, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. He consistently follows any special instructions I leave and ensures my dogs’ individual needs are met. One of my dogs is highly reactive to other dogs, and Nate handles him with exceptional patience and skill—avoiding known triggers and remaining calm and supportive even if my dog becomes reactive. Nate treats my pets like his own, showing a gentle and caring demeanor every time. I’ve trusted him to care for my dogs during weekends away and always return to happy, well-cared-for pups. I highly recommend Nate as a dog walker or sitter—you’ll be in good hands!”

Lucas F.
“We are so incredibly grateful to have found Lucas Fraser. Are dogs Rome and Kane are a very special part of our family and we were hesitant to find someone to care for them but Lucas Frazier exceeded all of our expectations. He is not only reliable and trustworthy but also genuinely cares about the dogs and treats them with kindness and patience. During our trip Lucas had sent pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind when we were away. We highly recommend Lucas Fraser to anyone looking for a dog sitter who will treat their fur baby like family. 🐾🐾 Sincerely Nick @Keshia Gacik”

Port Clinton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Once again, Andrew took great care of Magee. I pulled up to drop her off and she was instantly excited. 5+ stars!

Andrew was phenomenal with Roeby and extremely flexible with my plans. Since I was visiting Cedar Point from Chicago, I opted to bring her along for the drive, but obviously she couldn't come into the park. Port Clinton was on the way, so I booked Roeby's stay for two days with Andrew. Andrew took Roeby out for long walks, let her run in the sand (which she loves), played tug and fetch with her, and provided periodic updates. Now, as a summer park visit, the park is open late (10 PM in July), the park is extremely crowded during the day, and night rides are amazing, and we had a 2.5 hr weather delay that evening. Communicating with Andrew, he was flexible watching Roeby til a little after 11 PM, allowing me to catch night rides on Siren's Curse, Maverick, and SteVe. I highly recommend Andrew if you can't bring your pup along for the day. He was outstanding.

Andrew did an excellent job with our golden retriever. We told him she loved being outside, and he had her out most of the weekend, with multiple walks a day, and kept us updated on how she was doing. She was living her best life for a couple days! Will definitely be coming back to him whenever we need a sitter in Port Clinton!
