“Kristin was fantastic! She walked our dog twice a day while we were out of town and I loved seeing the happy pup photos and getting updates.”

About: My husband Jeff and I have 2 dogs and no kids. Our dogs are our kids! Our dogs are about 2 years old and get along well with other dogs. Both of us grew up with dogs and have had dogs that are both young and senior. We give our dogs lots of time and attention. We are responsible pet owners and believe in keeping them healthy, loved, safe, and part of our pack! I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in). Our dogs are about 3 years old and get along well with other dogs. They love to play and are free to move in the house and the yard, and they get regular walks. Dogs are allowed on furniture. We would love to be your pet sitter while you are away, and you can be confident your doggie will be happy, safe and loved!

About: Thought I could give this a go from the many years of petsitting. Currently working in a daycare for dogs plus cats. I can feed, clean, and walk plus take care of your precious babies!! I’m currently working a part time job with animals so I will have plenty of time to fit your baby in my schedule especially during the day if needed. I have plenty of land and a sweetheart of a dog who loves spending time with others and there are leashes, crates, safe environment for your pup.

About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years now. My passion for animals boosted in 2013 when I started helping a nonprofit animal rescue. Since then I have fostered animals, became a pet sitter for past fosters and worked in animal care. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Cincinnati, but have flexibility throughout the day to provide the best care for your babies. I am available most weekends as well. I will treat your pet with the respect and love they deserve. I provide care at the pace your furry friend is comfortable with, to ensure they have the best care possible. I have experience in working with all sorts of different personalities from anxious and nervous to happy-go-lucky. I stride to treat each pet like they are my own and provide them with the care to put your worries to ease.

About: I’ve had both my pugs since they were 8 weeks old and they’re now 7 and 10. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 5 years throughout high school and college! I recently moved to the area and became a stay at home pug mom from being a healthcare provider. I’d love to take care of your beloved pet! I recently became a stay at home pug mom with my husband’s new job, so I have a wide array of availability for you and your pet. Mornings, mid day, evenings, and weekends are all acceptable. I want to spend my time helping others, and animals are the way to my heart! I’m comfortable coming to your house to leash and walk your dog, drop in for treats, a potty break, and play time, or whatever you may need!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and volunteered at SICSA Animal Shelter for 5 years, giving me experience with animals of all personalities and needs. I grew up around animals and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently doing pet sitting full time so I will have unlimited time to play with your fur babies! I will be available any time of the day even if a client needed a last minute drop in or walk. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and I always clean up after them. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I’m a pre-vet student with extensive hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have two dogs at home, including one that was a rescue! In addition to personal experience, I also have experience working with animals in veterinary settings, both hands-on and behind the scenes. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, senior pet care, puppies/kittens, and monitoring pets for signs of stress or illness. I also have knowledge of basic pet first aid and am comfortable handling post-surgery and recovery care when given instructions. I genuinely love working with animals and always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat and love all animals like my own and will accommodate to care for each pet’s specific needs and personality! I’m a college student home for the summer with a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I work part-time and also spend time each week shadowing in veterinary clinics to continue gaining hands-on experience in animal care and veterinary medicine. Even with those commitments, I carefully schedule pet sitting around them so I can provide pets with the time, attention, and care they deserve through walks, drop-in visits, and even overnight stays. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, so I always do my best to maintain their normal routine in their home environment. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with crates, medications, specific feeding schedules, walks, overnight care, and post-surgery/recovery care. As a pre-vet student who regularly shadows in veterinary clinics, I’m attentive, responsible, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being!

About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 5 and have been pet sitting cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13 for family friends. I am a college student and I pet sit over the summer, and holiday breaks throughout the year. I am available for daily drop-in’s throughout the week and on weekends. Morning/Night Check-ins would be easiest for me but I would be happy to visit more frequently if need be! Also, I can sit and play with your pet for a few hours if you’d prefer that! I have 2 pets of my own so I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! I would come to your house as frequent as you’d like throughout the day.

About: I work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility! I have been working there for 2 years and am a shift lead. I also care for the neighbors dogs when needed. I am currently in school from 9-12 on weekdays. The only other thing on my schedule is my work which varies on days from 2-8 about three times a week. I have a large grass fenced in backyard to allow your dog/s to run around in. I can also spend as much time in your backyard or outside with your dog as you would like me to.

“Mckinzey has been great with our pup Coco. She has been reliable, professional, and patient with Coco’s hesitation and vocalization surrounding people she doesn’t know.”

About: I have been a long time pet owner. On Oct. 17, 2023 I lost my little dog Neil. He was 12 years old and meant the world to me. He was my faithful companion and travel partner. Before moving to Ohio in November 2023, I spent the past 3 years living in Mexico volunteering with a rescue organization which gave me an even broader insight into caring for animals. I apply that knowledge and care to other animals. I am a mother and grandmother to humans, but I love my pets like they are my children. You can expect the same love, care and treatment of your pets when I care for them. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors; pets requiring medical care to very active ones. I’m certain that I can care for your fur baby, too. I am a stay at home grandma that has free time during the day making me available for drop-in checks, play dates and walks with your pet. Visits after 4pm can be arranged with advance notice. My time is my own, making it easy to care for your pet in their own home, be it for a day or for the length of your vacation. I will care for your pet at your home according to your specific instructions. I ask that pets be up to date on all vaccinations. Any food or treats that you would like your pet to have should be provided by you. I do not provide those due to the potential risk of allergies and/or special dietary restrictions your pet may have.

“We have used several other sitters for our two dogs with mixed results. After meeting with Jennifer we felt very good about having her care for our pups, and I must say we made a very good decision. We will most certainly use Jennifer when ever we need help with our dogs”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, considering our house has always been a zoo lol. I love fur babies and I will absolutely send you way to many pics. I currently work at my winter job but in the summer times I always pet sit for my neighbors for extra money, so i am available a lot. I will always make sure your pet is fed and happy. Comfort of an animal is my top priority, especially when there owner is away.

About: I am comfortable around all dogs. I have worked at a doggie daycare for the past year and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can give oral and food-based medications. I also love cats! I have two dogs at home and a cat :) I cannot wait to care for your pets while you are not able to. I can work caring for your pet into my daily life, as I am a college student. For the summer, I am off, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I can come to your home so your pets do not need to adjust to a new schedule and home.

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs. I have socialized puppies for professional dog trainers. I walk dogs for friends and family, and several families rely on me to pet sit and scoop poop. I also don't mind bathing dogs when they get messy! I work at a daycare and go to school, so morning, evenings and nights work the best for me. I am also usually available all day on the weekends. I am happy to come to your house to care for your pet whenever needed! I find it beneficial for the dogs to be in a familiar area. I would love to come play with your dog and take them on walks!

About: 5 years ago I fell in love with my dog Shiba Foxy, she is literally my best friend. I have trained her to be such a good family dog. With maybe a little to much begging for food, but we are not perfect! Other than that I have raised 4 kids and a cat! So what can go wrong? After a very busy life of working in the finance industry and being a district manager in the outside field, I took a step back and now work in a director position working from home. I find myself needing a bit more. I also love things that don't talk back, like kids. hehe. In my home we have a fully fenced in yard. Foxy in leashed in harnessed on walks at all times. It's important to abide by the guidelines that the customer wants you to follow, if they want their animals in a crate with food or treats then prefect. If they don't then that is what you follow.

About: I treat every dog like family, not just a job. What differentiates me from other sitters is my genuine love and attention to each pet. I take the time to understand your dog's personality, routine, and needs, whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or the comfort of being there. I'm reliable and communicative, and I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected even when you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. With me, you're not just getting a sitter but someone who truly cares. I begin each day around 7 AM by letting the dogs out for a bathroom break, feeding them, and engaging in playtime to ensure they're comfortable and content. During my work hours, I make it a point to let them outside every 3–4 hours, and I'm flexible to increase this frequency if necessary. I'm diligent about adhering to their medication schedules, ensuring timely administration, and preparing the appropriate meals for them. This structured routine helps maintain their health and well-being. I prioritize safety during my dog-sitting services by ensuring that all doors and gates are securely locked and that dogs wear their collars at all times. I use well-fitted harnesses and leashes when walking, avoiding retractable leashes to maintain better control. I also take precautions to prevent escapes by keeping dogs away from open doors and gates and using baby gates or other barriers. Additionally, I stay vigilant during walks, avoiding distractions like phone use and being cautious around other animals or unfamiliar people. These measures help ensure the dogs' safety and prevent any potential accidents.
