“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She babysat my dog while my family went abroad for the holidays. She sent frequent updates and pictures. Jennifer left the house in excellent condition and even cleaned, took out trash and brought in the mail. I wouldn’t think twice about using her again. The best is my dog adored her and had a lot of fun.”


“Destiny was absolutely fantastic and took great care of my doggie and even my ferret for 7 whole days! She was consistently in contact with me and went above and beyond while also meeting my unique circumstances with doing house showings while trying to sell my house. Definitely book with her, she’s the best!!”

“Thea was great with Sammie and Paddy, giving them lots of outside time and attention. She also was communicative and took great care of the house. We're definitely booking with her again!”


“Sheila was amazing on short notice. Her years of experience showed as she noticed my puppy Bia having some issues that should be addressed by a vet. She went above and beyond getting Bia checked out by our vet and administrating her meds to make her healthy again. Can't recommend Sheila enough.”


“We are repeat clients of Sean's. He is always professional. He takes exceptional care of Stassi. He provides regular updates with pictures. He always leaves my home clean. On my last trip, my flight was delayed and he stayed several hours longer than planned. I ran out of food and he went to the pet store with no complaints about my error. Couldn't ask for better care of my pup and home!”


“Did a great job with my senior dog. Great pictures and communication!! Watered my flowers and took out the trash. Also got my mail for me. My place was very clean upon returning. Highly recommend for your pet if you’re looking for a long term sitter.”

“Lamarr is truly a saint! We had to ask him very last minute to stay at our home for 4 full days (he arrived at 8am and left at 10pm 4 days after).

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always ended up having dogs that are in some cases special needs. I truly love to be around animals because their happiness is so pure. I am a nurse by day and an animal cuddler by night. I am able to give medication’s. I work on basic commands. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior. If there is something specific that needs to be taken care of while taking care of your loved one, I will definitely work something out. I am currently taking a vacation between my travel contract for nursing and will be available throughout the day. If there is a specific time or day that works best for you, I will try to make it as easy on you as possible. I typically will have the animal on a leash if there is not a fenced in backyard. Of course, depending on the situation I will allow the owner to guide me on how they prefer to have the animal leashed and will take the precautions necessary to keep them safe.


About: Hi there, my name is Molly! I love dogs and I have over 15 years of experience working at a dog kennel. At the kennel, I cared for over 350 dogs a day, walked, bathe, fed, trained, administered medicine and made sure they enjoyed their stay! I also grew up with three large dogs and have over 10 years of dog/ house sitting experience. I currently work at a marketing agency downtown. I am clean, friendly and responsible and have a flexible schedule. Non-smoker and I have reliable transportation for overnight stays/ walks/ drop-ins. When I lived in Boston I had a 1 year long relationship with my client and cared for his dog like it was my own! Trying to find something similar in Cincinnati. I currently work full time but my schedule is very flexiable. I need to be in the office from 9-5 Monday - Friday but can leave during lucnh to check on long-term boarders. I recently lost my dog so my house is equipt to accomidate a dog. I have tons of toys, beds and a large back yard and trail by my house for playing.
