“Elizabeth was great with my dog and puppy! She was on time, communicative, and great for our girls. She helped keep our minds at ease while we were on a trip. I would definitely have her dogsit again!”



“Savannah did an amazing job with Blu. It was great to get updates and hear that he was a good dog for her during the visits. She took pictures and overall it was a great experience and I would recommend Savannah and Rover to anyone I know!”


“Michelle was so amazing, what a life saver! Our cat is outside but needs meds. Michelle was so caring and thoughtful about making sure our cat got the pills, even on days where she was hiding and wouldn’t come out. Michelle’s updates were very detailed and allowed me to relax while on vacation. I’m so grateful!”


About: I have been watching pets for years and would love to provide great care to yours as well! I know how important your pet is to you and you can trust that I have years of experience taking care of animals. I have lived with pets my entire life, so I know how to recognize body language and anxiety. That knowledge is supplemented by my experience volunteering at animal shelters for four years. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Outside of my classes, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I currently cannot keep pets at my home. However, I am always happy to watch pets in your home! I can overnight petsit or do only day visits or dog walks. Pet parents have trusted me taking care of their pets in their home for years.

About: I have been house/dog sitting since the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby! I work from 8am to 4pm Monday-Friday beginning Aug 8.. My evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey. My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.

“Riley's actions speak loud! She loves what she does! She's prompt and thorough for every drop in! She went above and beyond with the photos, notes AND she left our home neat and tidy! I highly recommend Riley to care for your fur babies while you're away, they will love her!”


“Travis is going to be my go to guy whenever I need a pup sitter! He was terrific; I got updates and pictures and funny stories about what my dogs were up to during his visits, and my dogs were always so happy in the pictures. Travis was very prompt and conscientious, two qualities I admire very much. If you are on the fence about having a person come into your home and take care of your pups, jump off that fence and hire Travis!!! 😀”


“I had such peace of mind knowing someone was checking in while I was away. I really enjoyed the photos and comments. I would definitely recommend Patricia to anyone looking to book her.”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. Growing up, I walked dogs in my neighborhood and helped raise my own pup from just 3 months old all the way to 16, alongside my dad. That journey taught me patience, responsibility, and how to meet a dog’s needs at every life stage. I have studied dog psychology and body language on my own. I’m comfortable administering pills and, with guidance, I can also give shots—always prioritizing each dog’s comfort and well-being. I currently work part-time in the event industry and my hours vary. I will have plenty of time to take care for your fur babies! I have a high commitment to trust and safety inside or outside of my clients home. I am extremely vigilant and aware of my surroundings. Your dog will always feel safe, protected, and cared for.

About: From cats and dogs to ferrets and horses, I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, providing each one with love and compassion through every high and low. - American Red Cross First Aid Certified - Dogs I have a flexible hybrid work schedule that lets me dedicate quality time to your pet—especially during evenings and weekends when they need extra companionship. My availability may shift slightly week to week, but I’m always happy to work with you to find the best time to give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve! I provide attentive, loving, and compassionate care in a calm and safe environment—just like I would for my own pets. I believe in positive reinforcement and do not use or support choker or shock collars. Your pet’s comfort, trust, and well-being are always my top priorities, whether they’re in my home or yours.

About: I grew up with dogs and other animals. I have experience in puppies to elderly animals. I have experience giving meds, special diets, and lots of love. Taking care of my dog was a day in and day out routine, as he was very codependent and was with me nonstop everywhere I went. He recently passed away and as much as I love dogs, I just can not commit to another after the love I lost in mine. So I would love the opportunity to share my love with your furry family member as needed. Thank you I have a 2 story home that is full of love. I have a huge field and pond right outside my front door. Plenty of walking area.

About: I have cared for a good amount of dogs, mine included who me and my family have had for about 7 years. I have dog sat for many of my family friends. Those include some older dogs and some puppies. I am able to administer medication for dogs that need it. As well as play and assist with training younger dogs who have a bunch of energy. I currently work part-time as a school recruiter and am also a part time college student. I am typically available after 6pm on week days, Wednesdays I am completely free and Thursdays I am available after 4pm. I am completely free on weekends. Back home I care for my dog by taking her out on walks around the neighborhood and feeding her at certain times in the day. When I dog sit for others I typically spend the night at their house if needed and take them outside and feed them. I also play with them when their indoor or outdoor. I have administered meds for some dogs and am pretty successful and comfortable with doing if needed.
