Dian was the best- warm, welcoming, and very interested in learning about my dog so that she could make his stay comfortable. He usually won’t eat when he’s away from me, but he quickly adjusted and consumed his usual meals. I will definitely be using Dian again!

Highly recommend Patricia. She is an exceptional caretaker. Our dog loved his time in her care. The daily pictures and videos kept us informed and we felt totally at ease knowing our dog was having the time of his life. We will definitely use Patricia again.

Andie and Katey were amazing. Our dog had the best time and was so well taken care of. We were sent updates, pictures and they were so accommodating of our changing schedule. We can’t wait to have our pup stay there again!

Suzanne is wonderful. She kept in touch the whole time our boxer was with her. She has tons of room for a pup to run and play. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior as well and I never worried about anything. We will be using her again!

Erin did a great job watching my 13 year old little old dog at her house while I was on vacation. I have my vacation booked for next year and I would definitely use her again for that! Her whole family absolutely adored him and took such great care of him. Thank you so much!!

Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.

We found Cynthia and Tim because their location was convenient for our activities around Ohio's Lake Erie islands, but we also found their home to be a great place for our pups to hang out. The pups got lake side walks in their safe and charming community. (We are considering making their Lakeside community a destination for ourselves.) We are grateful for Cynthia and Tim's flexibility in scheduling as well. We will definitely call them next time we're in the area!

Michele saved my life, I always take my dog ​​everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.

After we had a meet and greet Lelo was excited to come back and stay for the week. Bridget and her family made Lelo feel at home and loved. Bridget has a large room, where the dogs are free to play. Plenty of water and toys. Lelo can't wait to come back and hang out with her boys.

I cannot recommend Ralph highly enough! From the moment we first met, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals and an incredible ability to connect with him. Leaving my dog, Butters, in someone else’s care is never easy, but Ralph made the process completely stress-free and gave me total peace of mind. Throughout the entire stay, Ralph went above and beyond to ensure that Butters was happy, healthy, and loved. He kept me updated with regular photos, videos, and messages, which made me feel like I was still part of my pup’s day-to-day life. It was so heartwarming to see Butters smiling, playing, and clearly having the time of his life! When I returned, I could tell that Butters had been so well cared for—He was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored their time with Ralph. It was as if Butters had gone on a doggie retreat. I honestly think my dog misses him already! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about what they do, look no further than Ralph. He is a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found him. Thank you, Ralph, for treating Butters like your own and for giving me the confidence to leave my furry family member in your care. You are the best! 10/10, would absolutely book again!

About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.

Chiann was wonderful with Rover. He was very happy to see her when I brought him to her house. I received several videos throughout Rover’s stay and it was obvious that he was having a lot of fun. I will definitely have Rover stay with Chiann again.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.

About: I'm a young professional and homeowner with a six-year-old Cocker Spaniel and two cats (I just had to get my anxious boy his own cat). I've had animals my whole life and often find myself gravitating to animals over people. My animals are my family and in my care, yours will be too! I work a full-time job, but my home activities center around the animals. They're cared for morning and evening, and my weekend activities are centered around making sure the animals have adequate care and socialization. They're provided fresh water twice a day, food twice a day, and the dog always gets time outside of the house once I'm home, even in the cold.

About: I have been taking care of special needs dogs for the last few years, and my oldest (Leo) is 22 & still very active. I can also help with puppy training or boarding depending on breed. I work remotely from home so my schedule is pretty flexible aside from taking care of my own dogs & personal life. I am pretty much open without having yo provide much notice in an emergency situation. I treat my dogs like children, and unfortunately are very spoiled with walks & attention on a daily basis. There safety & happiness are my top priority , and would treat ur animals the same.

Katelyn and Andria took incredible care of my two boys, Leebo and Blaze. While Leebo is an energetic Golden that wants to be in everyone's face, Blaze is a bit more shy. They helped Blaze warm up and based on the amazing pictures they sent during the stay, Blaze felt right at home. The comfort of being able to go away on a trip and have peace of mind that the boys are in good hands means the world to us. Thank you for taking such good care of them!
