“Jennifer did a great job watching my high energy puppy over an extended weekend. She sent plenty of picture updates and followed his schedule perfectly. It was great being able to leave my dog with such a capable sitter.”
“Elizabeth is AMAZING! Our dogs are not always excited to meet new people and they warmed up to her immediately. She has such a great energy and our babies absolutely loved her. The house was super clean when we came back and she kept us up to date with pictures while we were gone.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From as soon as we met Drew we saw his love for animals and how my dogs immediately took to him. He was extremely responsive and amazing to work with. Would highly recommended him!”
“Julie did a great job caring for our dogs! She sent lots of picture updates and was a quick communicator. Julie was able to be at our home with the dogs the majority of each day to keep them company. She gave them new toys and spent a lot of time with them playing outside!”
“Karen was amazing. She was very attentive and kept us up to date on anything out of the norm. We were very anxious about leaving our dog in the hands of sitter because we had some bad experiences with sitters. Having Karen really alleviated our concerns and allowed us to focus on the purpose of our trip. We can't thank her enough and will definitely use her in the future. I am sure our dog will love it too!”
“Susan was GREAT! She stayed at our house with our 2 furbabies for 5 days. Our girls warmed up to her very quickly (we think they even miss her) and she sent lots of pictures to keep us updated on how they were all doing. The house was clean and tidy (she even stripped and remade the bed!) upon our return. Thank you, Susan!! We will definitely be seeing you again!”
About: I watch all my friends dogs when they go out of town so I may as well get paid on here for it. I have had and watched dogs from puppies to being old and need some extra care like diapers or a strict medicine schedule. Currently between jobs. As long as I have some notice on when you need care, I can adjust my schedule to help with the dog or dogs. I am pretty flexible with the care your dog needs. As long as you leave some clear instructions on their feeding schedule and any special care they need, I can take care of the dog or dogs.
About: I've had dogs and cats most of my adult life and love being surrounded by animals. I currently have one mini dachshund and a cat but wish I had triple the pets. I work from home and am free mornings and weekends for pet parents needs. I am willing to work with a flexible schedule if needed. I have watched my friends' pets and actually prefer to have them stay at home if at all possible so that the furry friends are most comfortable and feel safe.
“They went above and beyond with our pets and even our home (without us asking)!! With very thorough updates and plenty of photos. I would happily choose this sweet couple to take care of my babies again!”
“Liz is our go-to pet sitter. One of our cats has diabetes, which requires a lot of extra care and attention. She is fabulous at communicating and checking in to confirm he’s doing okay. Highly recommend!”
“Yvonne takes the best care of your pets. She sends pictures and keeps you up to date. You can tell she loves animals. She has taken great care of both my rescue pets. Highly recommend.”
“Lynn was absolutely amazing with Rue and Walker. I loved seeing pictures of them every day, along with check-ins and great communication! I would love to have Lynn watch my pups again! ❤️”
About: My husband and I have both been caring for dogs in one capacity or another since we were kids. We both come from families with dogs, love them ourselves, and have provided regular childcare with dogs in the home. We recently crossed the bridge in to overnight pet care and have found our experience with dogs to be most welcoming and enjoyable. We are both excellent with understanding and respecting individual personalities of animals and will always make our greatest effort to connect authentically. We both tend to be the people in a room that animals enjoying being near. We are Cincinnati-based nomads who run our own online business. As such, we create our own schedule and can almost always find time for other obligations and needs. We respect the requirements and expectations of the individual home(s) we are in. We are extremely flexible and can fit in to whatever routine is comfortable and expected for the household.
