“Kora was great throughout the whole process. She was very confident about her abilities to take care of my senior cats for an extended period of time which made me feel much less anxious about the whole experience. She clearly bonded with the cats and sent pictures and check ins throughout her stay! She also was very respectful of the apartment during her stay and was always very responsive.”

About: With 6 years of pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving attention to pets of all ages. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving extra patience to senior pets. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I work full-time in an office but have flexibility to accommodate different pet care needs, including evenings and weekends. Happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest. With a long-standing record of looking after both dogs and cats, I ensure they receive attentive, loving care while you’re away. I respect your home, follow your routines, and prioritize your pet’s well-being at all times.

“Guillermo took great care of Huck and our home! He sent photos and updates daily and I was able to enjoy our vacation knowing that my fur baby was in good hands. He left our house neat as a pin, and even gave Huck a good brushing and bath!”


“Fran and Julia were amazing caretakers of our two pets, a 10 year old dog and a 2 year old cat. They watched over them for a week while we were away, providing regular updates and photos. When we came home we greeted two very happy animals that were in good spirits and clearly well loved while we were away. Highly recommend Fran and Julia!”


About: I have been caring for dogs over the last 15 years including dogs with special needs (blind), dogs who need daily medicines, senior dogs and puppies. I have two dogs that I care for daily. One is a 3 year old blind dog and the other is a senior dog. I love to care for them, play with them, walk them and of course snuggle with them I will care for your dogs like they are my own. I will ensure they are fed per their normal schedule, exercised, played with, patted, and snuggled. If needed, I can give them oral and ophthalmic medications.

“Christine was lovely with Bonnie. She spoiled her and I felt very comfortable leaving Bonnie in her care. She has a natural gift with dogs and just loves to be around them. Absolutely happy with Christine”


“From first contact Rhianna was an A+. She's caring, communicative, and so easy to coordinate with. This was my first experience using Rover and she patiently helped with every step of the logistics when I had trouble with the app. She is responsive, asks great questions, and is extremely kind and capable. Our dog injured her leg just before we went away and Rhianna didn't hesitate to step up with extra care to make sure she stayed safe and happy. The photos she sent us tell the story so clearly: Henry and Lulah were in great hands and can't wait for Rhianna - their new favorite person - to come back soon!”


About: Hi! I'm currently a nursing student with 7+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, including senior doggos! I’m dependable, punctual, and always make sure sure each dog feels safe and has a good time outside! Currently I’m in school with a very flexible schedule. I’m available on weekends, most mornings and evenings, and any time on Thursdays! My schedule might change here and there but I’m pretty flexible- reach out if you need coverage outside of my listed availability! I try to make pets feel as comfortable and cared for as they do with you! I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, meds if needed—and give them lots of attention and affection. I’ll also send updates and pics so you know they’re doing great while you’re away!

“Zhenya keep us informed with texts and photos, which we really appericated. Loving care and attention to our three fur babies, 2 cats and 1 dog. The house was clean and well cared for, all per our requests. Zhenya is great to work with, she cares for us as much as the fuzzy kids.”


About: I’m a dog person! I love meeting new dogs and spending time with them. I’ve taken care of dogs off and on for 20 years (not including my own). I currently have a rat terrier mix - Roxie - who LOVES dog friends and is very playful. I’m a big walker and have experience with dogs on trails as well as in neighborhoods. I’d take care of your dog like my own. Most of my experience is for extended stay house-sitting for families with multiple dogs. I’m not able to have cats in my apartment, but love meeting cats in their own space and would be sure they were well loved and taken care of in your absence. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available most times of the day. I can work around complicated calendars! I have a fenced yard and a VERY friendly rat-terrier mix named Roxie. For house sitting, Roxie can come with me or stay behind, but she’s great with dogs off all sizes and I’m very careful when bringing her into another dog’s space.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My cat journey began at 15, and today I’m the proud cat mom of DunDun and Nomi—two rescues I adopted and nurtured from shy, withdrawn kitties into affectionate, confident companions. I’m experienced in administering oral and topical medications, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and understood. My dog care experience started with my own family pup, whom I’ve cared for and trained since he was a playful puppy. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny lap dogs to large, energetic companions. I’m confident in giving medications, providing light grooming such as nail trimming and ear cleaning, and ensuring every pup gets the right balance of exercise, affection, and care. Whether it’s cats or dogs, I treat every pet like my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a dedicated student who spends the majority of time at home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available Monday through Sunday to accommodate your needs, whether it’s drop-in visits to check on your cats or dogs, regular dog walking sessions, or extended house sitting stays for your furry family members. I understand that pets need love and attention every day, which is why I’m committed to being there whenever you need me — whether it’s during busy weekdays, relaxing weekends, vacations, or long holiday breaks. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their pets receive personalized care and companionship, no matter the time or day. No matter the size of your dog or the temperament of your cat, I’m ready and eager to help. When you can’t be there, I will be — providing trustworthy, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for your furry friends. I follow your specific care instructions closely—whether that involves feeding schedules, administering medications (oral or topical), cleaning litter boxes, or providing exercise and playtime. I make sure to maintain your pet’s daily routine as much as possible to reduce stress and keep them happy. I also keep the home secure and tidy, ensuring all doors and windows are locked and that your pets have access to fresh water and a clean space. Most importantly, I spend quality time bonding with your pets through gentle attention and affection, so they feel loved and cared for even when you’re away.

About: We are a family of four that travels too much to own our own dogs, but we love them dearly, and we would love to care for yours! We will literally treat them as our own :) We work from home, have a large yard, live near a walking path, have flexible schedules, and two eager, gentle, and snuggly small helpers. Mom and Dad grew up caring for cats and dogs (indoor and outdoor) and the girls dote on grandma and grandpa’s two dogs and 6 cats whenever they can (always begging to bring them home). Pets must be comfortable and have experience with small children. We are unable to host dogs that are consistent barkers (normal barking is fine). We work from home and have flexible schedules which allows for time to play with your pet, walk them, and snuggle them if they are keen! We have a fenced in yard and are near a walking path and the lake. We have a warm and loving home where your pet will be our special guest receiving loads of play, love, and attention from we parents and our littles.

About: I have a family dog that is almost 4 and recently got a puppy from a shelter. I am very familiar with training dogs and keeping up with their training. I have a flexible schedule with mostly all monday, tuesday, thursday's free to walk or check in on pets. a couple set mettings wednesday and friday, but can work around for the most part. Each animal is different and paying close attention to what the owner does for their animal is important. I care for pets by making sure they have water, outside time, and stimulation within the house when needed.

Betsy & Gordon T.
“Betsy was raised with Golden Retrievers and Labs by her side all her life. She and her family love cats and dogs, actually we even drive by Cattle, horses and hogs every time they come to Ohio. Betsy and her girls are very "in touch" with animals. They smother them with love yet make sure they are fed and watered and exercised as needed. They are very good at sensing when the animal is not in the cuddling stage. They talk with them as a friend. They all have spent days with our animals and show nothing but love and affection. I wish they were closer, as I would have them watching our animals for us. I would strongly recommend them to care for animals.”


Rebekah M.
“Rebekah has been caring for and walking my 4 year old Border Collie. She is very caring and loves spending time with him. He is always excited to go for walks and play catch with her.”
