“Tanya was the best sitter we could have gotten for our 4 year old boy cat and almost 7 year girl cat with asthma, especially at such short notice. Not only was she attentive while we went over all the medicine care and personality details for the fur babies, but she was also super responsive and even sent check in pictures as well. She's also very conscious of animal behavior and what does/doesn't make cats comfortable or happy. If we ever need a pet sitter again, we won't hesitate to book Tanya.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for over 30 years. I have experience with medically complex animals and making home made dog food. I am happy to care for your four legged kids most days in the afternoon for a drop in. I can also provide evening care and weekends. I am happy to care for your pets in your home to ensure your pets are in their own environment to make them more relaxed.
“What a nice family! Kristi and her husband have been so great. The facilities are clean, and I feel very comfortable leaving my boys in their care. Will definitely call again!”
“Aubrey has watched my pup twice now and has given him the love, attention and care he deserves. It is rare to find people who care for your pet like you do and Aubrey really takes the time to care for my pup, Jax.”
About: I’m a pet lover who enjoys spoiling and sending back home ;). Unfortunately, my work schedule does not align with the love and care a pet would need full time right now which is why this is perfect for us all! I will only provide boarding for a single pet unless they come from the same family home so they will have all of my attention! I love walks so if your pup does too then it’s a perfect match! You won’t need to worry about your pet on vacation because I promise they will be vacationing themselves! On the days of availability I will be home full time with all attention available to your pet! I only provide care to one pet at a time (unless they are coming from the same household) so they will be very spoiled! I love walks so if your pet does too, we are a perfect match! I have a fenced in yard and do not have any animals in the house. Your dog will have access to the inside and outside. They do need to be trained but I do also keep in mind that accidents happen.
“Emma was absolutely wonderful with our sweet boy! We got daily pictures, updates, and our dog looked to be having a great time! She has a lovely home and yard for dogs to play in, and our dogs things came back in perfect condition. Anytime we reached out she responded almost right away and was over all a pleasure to talk to! If we ever need a sitter again, we will definitely be reaching back out to her! ?”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Moose! I would absolutely recommend her again and again to care for your pups. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and treated Moose like he was one of her own. Sounds like they may even be getting a Great Dane themselves! Thank you again, Jessica and family!”
About: Dogs are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a couch cuddle champion, or a senior dog who prefers a slower pace, I'll provide personalized care that matches their needs and routine. I offer in-home visits, walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection to help your dog feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I understand how important consistency is, so I'll take the time to learn your dog's schedule, preferences, and personality to keep their days as normal as possible. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve. My goal is simple: a happy dog, a worry-free owner, and lots of tail wags along the way. Pet care fits well into my lifestyle, and I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. While my availability may vary from day to day, I do my best to work with pet owners to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication about scheduling. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and schedule. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or extra attention while you're away, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so that each animal receives the time, attention, and individualized care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that pets feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, and I work to create a calm, positive experience while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves active play, quiet companionship, or simply having a familiar routine maintained, I provide care tailored to them. I believe trust and communication are essential. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I also respect your home and will leave it just as I found it. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment you book until you return home.
“Jacob was great at communicating and sent photos of my dog without being prompted. He was fine with giving my dog three different kinds of medication. He has a fenced in backyard that my dog enjoyed. We'll be using him again for future out of town trips.”

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
