I care for both of them all the time and I am experienced walking and house sitting. I working part time, so I will be watching dogs in my free time! I currently have a very flexible schedule, but please message me to determine my exact availability. I will take great care of your dogs in your home, while being respectful of your space and pets. I have LOTS of cleaning experience in case of an accident :)

About: I've taken care of many foster pets from puppies to seniors and have always had 2 or more dogs in my household. I volunteered for a few years at a local shelter cleaning cages and giving those babes as much love and attention as I could. I hope your pup and I can have a great time! I'm currently not working so I am available for your pup anytime! I'm dedicated to giving them the best care that I can and often! I have a sweet rescue husky of my own who loves to meet new friends. Your pup will enjoy running around on our 3 acres or even a trip to the park! If your pup prefers walks I live in a large suburb with many great routes!

About: I have been regularly pet sitting for the past three years, and have sat for various friends' pets in the past. I have cared for senior pets and administered medication. I understand that having the "parents" away can be a stressful time for a pet, and I do my part to ensure that the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care. I am an artist/freelance designer and side gig virtuoso (that's a fancy way of saying I make my own schedule). I keep things flexible to adapt to different environments. I believe that animals are healers and that we get back the care that we give to them. I am deeply grateful that I get to have the freedom that this and my other gig/freelance work allows me. I hope that is reflected in my care and respect of the clients' home.

About: Hiya! I'm Max (: I adopted my first pet of my own when I was 8, but have lived with pets my whole life. I've watched friends and owners pets for them from puppies to seniors who need special care. I have experience with dogs with bladder problems and who need medication. I also have house sat and pet sat throughout the years. I have a strong love and passion for animals and their care! I am currently taking time off from college (OU Oh Yeah!) and work a lot during the school year so am focusing on less rigid work this summer. I am very flexible as I will be doing odd jobs and don't have a weekly schedule! I have training on cleaning and care taking through my mother who taught me with her own job experience. I have a disabled younger sister who I learned how to be very gentle with as well as helping her be gentle with the pets around her. I spend a lot of my free time cuddled up with my dogs Cashew and Crew or running around playing with them. I try to be aware at all times what their interests are so that I can be the best parent to them.

About: For as long as I’ve been alive, I’ve had dogs and cats of all kinds around me. As I’ve grown up, I’ve been put in charge of my family’s pets on multiple occasions, even loving and caring for my own cat for the last seven years since she was two months old! Lately I’ve made quite a name for myself in pet care around the Cincinnati area, doing multiple petsitting/walking jobs during my 2023 summer break. I’m loved by all pets I take care of, and I love them! I take plenty of photos (see my photo gallery for some of the greats!) and send plenty of updates so fur-parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. Plus, I make sure your home is nice and tidy when you return! I would love to meet your babies and give them as much love as I’ve given my own pups and kitties. Please don’t hesitate to send a request! This semester, I’ll be working in a research lab that requires me to be gone for 3-4 hour intervals in a day. Other than that, I’m free to care for your pets every day! My family rescues dogs of all kinds, so I have experience caring for elderly dogs and dogs with special needs (medicines, special food, etc). I can assure you that I will handle any special instructions/needs that are necessary! I have less experience caring for cats that have special needs, but I am always willing to learn and grow my experience with all kinds of pets.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for my family and friends since I was about 5 or 6 years old. Mainly a dog person but I’m also cat friendly. Pretty much a born and raised Ace Ventura and Dr. Doolittle. Currently in school for Environmental Biology to become a wildlife, fish and game warden. I’m free anytime to walk or drop in Monday thru Friday 10am to 6pm and Weekends Noon to 4pm. When I was back home I’d always keep the bowls filled with fresh water and food. Made sure the doggo’s were getting plenty of play time outdoors and would take them on walks around the neighborhood, sometimes even on a little jog to keep them exercised.

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

About: I live with two cats when I’m home from college, as well as used it having my beloved 130lb French mastiff. I’ve been caring for animals that range from reptiles, horses, chickens, fish, cats, and dogs for over ten years. I’ve also administered medication to dogs. As well as helped train animals. I’m currently an unemployed college student that’s working on two degrees and a certificate. I’ll be busy Monday and Wednesday from 2-6pm due to classes. Unfortunately I will be unable to care for your pet at my home because of my landlords rules, but at your home I will follow all the rules set for me as well as any schedule your animal may follow. Whether that may be feeding, walking, or medicine.

About: I have been pet sitting for local families for two years, but I have had dogs and cats my whole life! I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. As I am away from home for college, I am always missing my pets. Pet sitting became an amazing hobby so I still get to love on animals! I walk several dogs in the neighborhood, and when I'm home from school, I take my dogs (big and small!) for long walks. I have experience walking dogs on trails, roads, through neighborhoods, pretty much whatever works for your pups!

I'm delighted to share my experience with Kayla as an animal caregiver. From the moment I entrusted my beloved kitty Milo to her, I knew I had made the right choice. Kayla is an exceptional animal caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of her clients. Her deep love and passion for animals are evident in every interaction. What sets Kayla apart is her dedication to providing a safe and nurturing environment, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch. My cat meows with excitement every time he sees Kayla, a testament to the strong bond and trust they've built. Furthermore, Kaya is highly responsible and reliable. She consistently ensures that my Milo is well-fed, and stays active and engaged throughout the day. I have complete peace of mind knowing my cat is in her capable hands. Kayla also maintains excellent communication. She provides regular updates, photos, and videos, so I never feel far from my kitty, even when I'm away. It's a level of transparency and dedication that truly sets her apart. In summary, I couldn't be happier with the care and attention Kayla provides. She is a animal lover, and the professionalism and commitment to the well-being of pets is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Kayla to anyone seeking top-tier care for their furry family members.

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

Adriana is amazing with our animals! We have a 130 lb French Mastiff and two cats. I do not worry at all when they're in her care. Our dog has several medical issues and requires medication. Adriana always make sure to administer his meds and gives us updates throughout the day. She's awesome and I am happy to have her care for our animals.

About: I have been pet sitting for local families for two years, but I have had dogs and cats my whole life! I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. As I am away from home for college, I am always missing my pets. Pet sitting became an amazing hobby so I still get to love on animals! I walk several dogs in the neighborhood, and when I'm home from school, I take my dogs (big and small!) for long walks. I have experience walking dogs on trails, roads, through neighborhoods, pretty much whatever works for your pups!

Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Charlee's Pet Sitting Services. I consider myself fortunate to have had the pleasure of Charlee's care for our dogs Nova and Oscar for an extended period. It's evident that Nova and Oscar have developed a deep fondness for her, and Charlee consistently goes the extra mile in providing exceptional care for our pets and home during our absences. Whether it's dog walking, brief stays, or overnight care, Charlee's services have always been flawless, and we grateful for her dedication and professionalism throughout the years.
