2. Shanelle N.
“Shanelle was absolutely amazing! This was our first time taking our puppy to a sitter and it was great. She sent multiple photos, videos, and updates. She tired her out and took great care of our girl! Definitely recommend! :)”
3. Kathleen B.
“Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.”
4. Michelle P.
“Michelle was AMAZING! We have a 3 month old puppy and she was truly incredible with him. We got tons of updates and lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend using Michelle to watch your fur baby - I will definitely be using her again!”

“Ginny had a great time at Sean’s house! It was hot today so he kept her inside and she was good and tired when she got home. She even made me a painting which Sean sent a video of. We will definitely book again!”

8. simon f.
“Simon was amazing with Hazel! He kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. Hazel came home worn out from all the fun she had at Simon’s. We’re incredibly grateful for his patience, especially since Hazel is still learning her manners after we adopted her from the shelter a few months ago. Simon even went the extra mile by helping teach her commands. He’s been wonderful, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him for care again in the future.”
9. Katie S.

About: Providing comfortable and personalized pet care for your loved one, during their time away from home. Companionship and play opportunities available with my 3 year old American Bully, Xena (female). I’m currently going to school full time and most of it is online aside from one class in the late afternoon on Mondays and Wednesdays. Xena and I take at least one 15-30 minute walk a day. We also take weekly park visits to the scioto mile or Schiller park.
16. Michele B.
“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”
17. Jackeline L.
“Honestly the best. I was nervous leaving my 6 month old puppy anywhere, but Jackie made her feel like she’s at home. She’s flexible with her time and very accommodating. My puppy doesn’t even want to come home because she has so much fun while she’s there. Definitely will be using her services for the foreseeable future!”
18. Desta Z.
“I use Desta to watch my dogs when I go out of town and they grew to love her. Not only is she great with the dogs, but she shows them the love and affection they need to get comfortable. Highly recommended dog sitter”
19. Sophie S.
“Sophie was amazing. She accepted a last-minute booking, took excellent care of my shy little pup, and gave me updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
20. Megan M.
“Megan was prompt to answer, eager to host! My dogs were comfortable from the moment they met her! They played in her yard and hung out on her couch! She accommodated an early pick up and the pups came back happy and well exercised! She did a great job! Thank you Megan! Highly recommend her!”
