“Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!”
“Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!”

About: I've taken care of many foster pets from puppies to seniors and have always had 2 or more dogs in my household.

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!
“Where do I begin, Gillian is an AMAZING person and sitter. Before leaving our beloved Moose in her care she walked him a couple of times and every time he returned with the biggest smile on his face. We had originally scheduled Gillian for two weeks but when we were faced with a family emergency and had to return she came to the rescue. Helping us update the booking and most importantly checking on Moose two additional times after we had technically stopped being booked. She is a savior and an angel and saved us so much stress and worry.”
“Moki was well and lovingly cared for in my home. Maryrose kept me updated daily with pictures of their daily trail runs and walks. Maryrose’s has a special connection with animals that put Moki at ease right away. I will continue the trail runs as Moki is more energized and feeling like a pup again! I would highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time hiring a dog sitter. Lily was absolutely amazing. We felt really comfortable with Lily watching Mystic. She was very gentle with our dog. Lily made leaving the house easy. Lily was very communicative and accommodating to our schedule too. We hope to book Lily in the future. We highly recommend!”

About: Student Affairs professional for OHIO and love all furry animals. I had an amazing Norwegian Elkhound Mix and 2 cats. Now I have 9 month lab mix and 1 cat. Both very friendly and good with everyone. I'm very patient, optimistic, and kind. I have experience with pups & senior dogs. I'm comfortable administering medication, including injections and promise to love your pet unconditionally while they are in my care. Depending on the needs of your pets they'll enjoy at least one walk a day, potentially a hike, and get plenty of attention throughout their stay with me. Before rescuing my current dog, I trained two Great Pyrenees from 6 months to 3 years for a friend. I'm comfortable with all dogs and cats and hope I can help provide care for you soon! During the school year I work from home 2 days a weeks and in the summer 3 days! This gives me plenty of flexibility to check on your pets as needed. Additionally, I have the flexibility to check during my lunch break if needed when I'm in the office. I have a fenced in backyard and will gate off sections of our home until we know the dog is comfortable in our home and with our dog & cat. We block off the stairs to keep them on the ground floor with us.
“Schuyler was great with our girl 🐶 She was trustworthy and met every request. We had a worry-free vacation because we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again.”
“Lena is a gem! We couldn't ask for a kinder gentler soul to care for our pups in our home. She was very attentive with our elderly fur babies which left us at ease to leave home and enjoy our vacation. We've already booked a second trip with her! It's a wonderful feeling knowing you can entrust your pups (and home) to such a sweet person. 5 out of 5 stars? We'd give her 10 stars if we could!”

Paige K.
“Paige is WONDERFUL, and I would trust her with my dog any day :) when I had her watch my pup for the weekend, she took amazing care of him. She did the obvious (let him out, fed him, walked him), as well as took him on a long hike so he could get out, get some fresh air, and let his energy out. She is someone who genuinely cares about animals, and she would do an exceptional job with any animal who is in her care.”
