“Kathryn is very loving and treated my boys as her own. They loved going to their own special “doggie camp” while I was away. Kathryn sent pics and kept me informed through the week. Great experience!”
“Can't rave enough about this Rover. Pups are always so well taken care of! Truly their home away from home with the added benefit of furry buddies to play with. Cheyenne is super flexible willing to work with your needs, communicates promptly, and handles all aspects of the pups. Highly recommend.”
“Jessica took fantastic care of my girl - I was able to leave knowing she was in good hands and getting all the love and care she needed! So grateful to her whole family for caring for my baby. ?”
“Sandra was a wonderful sitter for our German Shepherd. Pictures and videos and updates everyday, and our dog—who’s usually anxious when in a new place—took to her right away. We’re very picky about pet sitters, but I have no qualms about using Sandra again, and I plan to.”
“Jason and his sweet family took care of our golden retriever as if she were their own. We were so grateful to have them take her on walks, take pictures, and let her play with their pup. Thank you, Jason! We'll be back!”
“Shannon is Fabulous! She made our dog feel right at home and took great care of her. She checked in with us several times and shared pics of Percy throughout the stay. We definitely recommend her (and her two cats who welcomed Percy into their home and befriended her quickly).”
“Oh my gosh! What a wonderful dog sitter. Kailey was truly awesome when she cared for my two pups. It was obvious they were well taken cared of while I was gone. So much so they didn't seem at all glad to see me. And why? Because they had a beautiful energetic greyhound (Rocket) and Kailey to play with in the backyard. They had walks every day and healthy treats. They watched movies while sitting on her lap and on the couch beside her - all of them including Rocket. My bigger dog usually doesn't get along with other dogs but Kailey somehow managed to get them all to be friends and have fun together. She kept me posted while I was on my trip as to how the dogs were doing and sent me a picture of them. And Kailey herself is a real sweetheart. Warm, friendly, great sense of humor and young with the energy needed to keep up with the dogs. Her house is cozy, comfortable and dog friendly. I am extremely happy for the care my pups received while with her and I will be taking them back to Kailey's Getaway whenever I next need to leave town. I highly recommend this host!!”
“She saved by taking a very late booking due to a previous cancellation. Even went so far as to meet us somewhere as we were towing a huge camper. Would not hesitate to use again.”

About: I love both dogs and cats. I've been caring for dogs for most of my adult life. I have pet sitting/walking experience with small, medium, and large dogs. Over the years I have also cared for both indoor and outdoor cats. I am a fulltime remote worker. So I can watch dogs/cats in my home during the day and in the evenings. I can also check in on your fur baby in the morning between 7 & 9 am EDT and take them for a walk in the evening after 6pm EDT. Saturday mornings I am available to take your good boy/precious girl for a walk/run or to spend some chill time at the local dog park. I can walk your fur baby on my quiet street, space for their comfy bed/blanket, and can crate your dog if that's what they are used as needed. My home is pet friendly. I also have space for a litter box and bed for your feline friend. In your home/neighborhood, I can walk your goodest girl/bestest boy, monitor them while they explore their own fenced in yard. And for your purrfect kitty, I'll follow their lead to make sure they're comfortable with snuggles or space and ensure they're litter box is fresh and clean. I'll follow your instructions for food, water, and activity.
About: I have had experience with caring for animals my whole life. I have experience training puppies and older dogs as well. I am well experienced with senior dogs! I also have experience in grooming/bathing different breeds of dog, if that is something you would be interested in. I am experienced with cats, horses, guinea pigs and a variety of reptiles. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for several cats and dogs. I have also completed veterinary science/ animal science classes to learn more about animals in general. Over time I notice that animals sense people, most animals love me and sense that I am a genuine, caring person right off the bat. I don’t have a very busy schedule. I am not employed, so I have a lot of time to care for your fur babies. I am an online student at NKU. So I do all of my school work at home! I have a large fenced in area in the back of my yard. I have large/medium/small kennels if needed for boarding. I will spend a lot of pictures too!
About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was a kid. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family since I was in high school. I volunteer with a dog rescue so I have experience with dogs of all kinds from puppies to seniors. I work full-time at a wealth management company. I have plenty of time after work and on weekends to give dogs potty breaks or go for walks or car rides. If pet sitting, I prefer weekends, but would consider weekdays depending on the situation. My dogs are my world and I will take care of your pets like my own. They are allowed on furniture and in all rooms. They always have access to fresh water and can go outside to the fenced yard as needed.
“I am so happy I found Mikayla and her family, as they are amazing with our dog. Benny enjoys lots of playtime with their son and dog Archie, and is treated like family. Benny is excited to visit their home and returns relaxed and happy. Mikayla’s home is clean, organized, and we feel comfortable knowing he is being well cared for while we are away. Mikayla communicates well and sends daily pictures and videos. She is contentious and does not hesitate to reach out regarding any questions. Mikayla and her family are our go to sitter. We appreciate the family atmosphere and that she does not accept multiple bookings at the same time. Benny really is home away from home with Mikayla’s family.”
“Karen is absolutely amazing. She treated our precious Sophie like the princess she thinks she is. I knew that Sophie was well taken of, safe and loved when she was with Karen. I will DEFINITELY be using Karen again as a dog sitter. ?❤️?❤️?”
