“Rebecca helped put my mind at ease when leaving my anxious fur baby after he had to deal with some big house changes this week. I appreciate her attention to detail with our instructions and with the questions she asked in return. Zoidberg loved his couch cuddles! 🥰”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. During my childhood I’ve had 3 energetic pitbulls and a senior cockapoo. I am super comfortable with all sorts of dogs and I know how to deal with the chaos they come with! I am currently working part time, so I have much time to take care of your pet! I am mostly available before 5pm on weekdays or before 4pm on weekends if I am working, but on other days I am completely free! I will be attentive to your dog/cat and their needs! I will make they use the bathroom multiple times during my visit, and they are entertained! I would love to chill with your pet!

“Christiana was a great doggy sitter for my senior Pug. He has limitarions and Christiana was great with him. She sent me updates and pics if him outside and eating. It was a relief to know that I did not have to worry about him while I was out of town. I feel like Gilbert and I both made a new friend. I would definitely recommend Christiana as a "must" while making your selection. I will be a regular customer.”


“Macie was such an amazing care giver to my Golden retriever Nala! Nala has a lot of energy and Macie did amazing. I love when people love the things I love and when I heard Macie talk to Nala the same way I do (like a baby) I knew she was in great hands!! I recommend her and will be using her again”


“Madalyn did a great job with my 2 cats! She helped me when I needed someone extremely last minute, sent me numerous updates with pictures and videos, and helped me feel so at ease! I would absolutely use her again 🐾❤️”


“Maddie was wonderful with Roxy! Roxy can be a little hesitant with meeting new people, but she warmed right up to Maddie. She did everything we requested and we loved the photos!”


“Lilly was a great, attentive sitter. Our earliest comminications showed enthusiasm and a genuine interest in the well being of my pet. All of her questions were thoughtful and demonstrated her knowledge of how to care for pets. When I was gone, her check ins were always thorough.”


About: Hi, I’m Alex! I live in Lakewood, Ohio, and work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present with the dogs I watch—whether that’s extra playtime, regular potty breaks, or simply being a comforting presence throughout the day. I’ve always been a dog person and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve had my dog, Bruno, for a little over two years now. He’s friendly, playful, and loves meeting other dogs. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play and outdoor relaxation. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a good sniff around the yard, or lounging in the sun, there’s always room for fun here. Over the past few months, I’ve started dog sitting more regularly, and it’s been a great experience getting to know dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is staying overnight, popping in for a visit, or hanging out for daycare, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone new, and I’m here to make sure both you and your pup feel completely comfortable and cared for. I work from home, so I can easily manage having a dog with me during the day or after work if needed. It’s a big part of my routine. I have plenty of space inside and out for completely supervised play, but I also had my dog professionally- trained for over a year so that he could be around other dogs in a variety of settings. The training was just as much for me as it was for Bruno!

“Christabel was great! She came to do a meet and greet about a week before we went on vacation, and while here asked if we wanted her to water plants, bring in mail, etc. She was very conscientious and updated us twice/day on the pets. When we got home home both were happy and well cared for. Will hire again!”


“We've hired Amber to take care of our two felines several times and she's been great. Excellent communication, on-time, and shows wonderful care for our animal family. We highly recommend her.”


“Absolutely great! Helped us out on short notice, went with the flow for our senior dogs extra needs, and took great care of our boys! Thank you, we will be returning clients.”



About: All dogs are the best dogs. I have had multiple dogs from big to small. I've taken them out or watched them in a home as if they were my own. I am willing to even take dogs out of their home to parks or beaches to enjoy a change of venue. The pets I watch will be welcomed in my home with open arms to my other family members as well as my own dogs. It would be amazing to be able to earn money taking care of my favorite animals. I love being able to hang out with the furry pets which will make this summer fun as well as give me more opportunity to pay for my college tuition. I hope to meet some cute dogs soon!!

“Our two little spoiled poodles loved Allison. One is very high-energy and the other is a little shy. Allison won them both over. Allison is extremely reliable, responds right away, and sent us plenty of pix. We will definitely ask her to help us out again.”


“We used Mariah again for vacation this year, as she did such an amazing job last time! We will definitely keep using her services for any future needs! Communication was excellent and our pup loves her!”


About: I am my friends and family go to dog sitter & walker! I am new to the app and so excited to start drop ins, walks, overnight stays and more!

About: No matter the size or age, your animal(s) will get the same love from me as they get from you. I do this full-time so I am free any time to care for your furry loved one(s)!

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own. I have 10 years of dog and cat sitting experience and 5 years experience working with dogs and cats professionally. I have worked with hundreds of pets and have dealt with all temperaments. I have experience administering oral medications and with dog training. I am currently working part time so I am available for dog walks, dog or cat drop ins, or boarding most days of the week. I will treat your pets like they are my own! I try to make them as comfortable with me as possible, mimicing their regular home routine as much as possible when staying with them.

“Maria is an absolute pro!!! She took great care of my 2 month old kitten while my husband and I were gone for a wedding. She is an excellent communicator, and very trustworthy in our home. I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Thank you Maria!”
