“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
“Riley (the dog) seemed to be happy in pictures that Bethany took. Bethany was easy to deal with and had good communication. Very satisfied with the overall experience. I would use Bethany again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I am willing to keep special needs pets and am able to give medication. I am open to discussing any special requirements your pet might have. I live at home with my mom and this is my only job. I am free to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I have a lead in our yard for potty time and live near a dog park for fun and exercise. We will take walks, having brushing time to bond, and have lots of play time. I do have a dog kennel available inside and will have food and water bowls for your pup. We do have cats, so please make sure your dog is cat friendly.
“Another great experience with Gabriel. Barnaby wagged his tail when we first arrived at Gabriel's house so we know he was excited to stay. Gabriel communicated regularly and sent photos each day. He kindly accommodated our last-minute scheduling change. We really appreciate the care and attention Gabriel provides. Absolutely 5 stars.”
“Mallory was absolutely amazing with Harvey & Jack🤍 She kept me updated throughout their stay, made them feel comfortable, & treated them like her own! Harvey immediately bonded with her (which says a lot because he’s very shy), & Jack came home happy, tired, & well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, & clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her with my boys again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, & patient with dogs of all personalities & sizes!”
“Steve took excellent care of Max! We haven't had the best of experiences with our dog being cared for while we are away. I am so glad we found Steve on here. He went the extra mile to help us feel at ease and we appreciated the updates!”
“Joshua was great from start to finish. He was flexible and accommodating, sent lots of updates, and Luna took to him immediately. We will absolutely rebook with him for future needs and are very happy to have had the chance to work with him!”
“Kyungyeon was above and beyond the most incredible sitter for our Copper!! We got so many updates and made sure our boy was happy and comfortable the whole time!!!! We are so thankful!!”
“This was our first time boarding our dogs and we were super nervous. Max is a German Rott and not the friendliest at first sight. It takes him a moment to get comfortable with new faces. However, he is truly a loving, loyal and protective doggie. Marley, an English Cocker Spaniel is easy to adore and just wants hugs and rubs all day. Desirae was nothing but hospitable, patient, accommodating, and professional. She continued to provide photos and updates while we were away and made sure we were comfortable. She was very aware of what they needed and following our instructions to ensure they maintained their routine. This was such a wonderful first experience and I would definitely recommend Desirea. Look no further - she is absolutely amazing!”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and Julie and I couldn't have been more pleased!! We did a meet and greet and she was just a joy and our pup loved her. She took care our of Goldendoodle like it was her own. She sent a few update pictures and was super responsive. I would definitely recommend Julie and will use her for future vacations!”
“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”
“Onyx had a great stay with Holli and Susan. They were very responsive throughout his entire stay and it seemed like Onyx had a good time. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Kailly was awesome for our first weeklong visit with her. Our tiny and slightly anxious papillon easily made friends with the other dogs Kailly was watching and enjoyed being buddies with Kailly's kitties. We saw pics of our pup snoozing on her back, clearly showing her comfort and ease in her new surroundings. Kailly offered regular brushings as we requested, and sent pics daily. We're delighted to have found Kailly and will use her again.”
“Marietta and Nanette really love having guest pets at their home. They are welcoming and friendly, there is a chance they may spoil your dog during their stay, lol. I appreciate the time they spend on the meet and greet to ensure a good fit with their little Erin Rose and other regular clients. Highly recommend!”
“My JoJo loved Megan and her family. We received many pictures and videos and I was certain she was being care for like she was their own. We will definitely be reaching out to Megan in the near future!”
“Amy has been someone we trust with our furry friend. We've used her 3 or 4 times now and will continue to use her as we need. Easy to work with and great communication. Thank you, Amy.”

“Amy did a wonderful job taking care of our two young cats for our getaway trip. The daily updates and pictures let us know they were in good hands and doing well. She will definitely be our first choice when we need someone in the future.”
“We lost our house to a fire and it took my sense of security with it so I was nervous to leave the house. When a last minute weekend trip came up I figured that was the easiest way to start small. I had also never been away from my 19yo cat other than my honeymoon so I wanted to make sure she was well looked after since she’s old and set in her ways. I looked at a lot of reviews and something about Synthia made me like her. After our FaceTime meeting I knew she would be perfect for it and I wasn’t wrong!! She put up with all my texts asking for updates on my cat and even gave me updates on the the house even though I never asked!! She sat on the floor with her so she could get to know her and let her get comfortable with her. She wasn’t even offended when my cat yelled at her for not jumping when she said so (my cat is very sassy and opinionated lol). Her updates cracked me up and made me tear up that a complete stranger could be so kind to a animal they don’t know at all. I am truly grateful that she accepted my booking and plan to use her in the future and recommend her to EVERYONE!!! I have a week off in October I wasn’t sure if I would actually take but I’ve already started planning it!! Thank you so much for all your help and kindness, it was more healing and helpful than you will ever know!!”
About: I have had pets since I was little, and am very knowledgeable in dog behavior. I have been in daycare settings for children, so I will treat your pups care like I do with daycare kiddos, I will be very communicative to you, and send you pictures. I have trained multiple puppies in my lifetime, and have had a couple of senior dogs. I have had Labs, one Doberman, and Pugs. I have also raised two litters of puppies. Currently, I have an English Bulldog/Sharpei mix who is 11 months and constantly learning new things about behavior, and how to manage it. I am always learning new things about dog behavior and training as it is one of my passions. I will treat your fur baby as my own. I am excited to get to know you and your fur baby. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because I am at home and I am excited to start taking care of other peoples pets. On the weekends at the moment I can fit in some later shifts, it is not listed, however I can. I will care for your pets the way you want me to take care of them. Tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it. These are your babies. I want to learn everything about them and care for them the way you care for them.
“Halie did a wonderful job dropping in on our diabetic cat twice per day (feeding, injecting, and giving our cat her love and attention). We're so glad we found her, and will not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have hands on experience with puppies, high energy dogs, and caring for multiple dogs at once. I work part time at a dog grooming shop as a bather, I interact with many different dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule as I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible but structured routine. I’m able to balance my job while still making time for pet care during my off days, mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable with planning ahead so I can make sure each pet gets consistent attention, walks, and care without feeling rushed. Even with a part-time job, I prioritize being fully present and dependable when I’m caring for animals. In my client’s home, I always follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure pets are safe, supervised, and never left unattended for long periods. I keep water fresh, follow feeding schedules, and provide regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and any safety concerns to prevent escapes or accidents. I also respect the home by keeping it clean, organized, and treating it with care, just like I would my own.
About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I am a full time student at BGSU, and living on campus. I can do check ins during the weekdays, and I am able to stay overnight if needed at anytime. On the weekends I should be available at anytime and stay for however long is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.
About: Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely cared for, safe, and spoiled! I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have hands-on experience working in doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and a veterinary clinic. I’m trained in administering medications, reading dog behavior, and ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I truly treat every pet like family and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication, treating every pet with the same level of care I would expect for my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and provide them with a safe, happy environment while you’re away! I am home full time as a stay at home mom of 2! i am able to do drop in visits as well as daycare! I have a larger fenced in yard, and have been trained to watch for social cues in animals when in a group setting. Animals are in and out all day long for potty breaks and play breaks outside!
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”
“Traci is an amazing dog sitter always sends pictures with funny captions of what happened during her visit! She is very flexible and truly learns your pups behaviors. Makes leaving your fur baby with her less stressful.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a child! We used to live in a rural area and there was a little of kittens on an annual basis. I spent so much time with every litter and we kept most of them as our own pets. we currently have our own senior cat that we rescued this past winter, and my soul cat lived to be 21 years old. For fun, my best friend and I used to go to the cat rooms at the shelters to spend time with the cats- something I still do with my daughter today!
“Mirabella was really great with our dogs! Some of them usually take a while to warm up to others, but seemed to warm up to her quickly. She also sent us pictures which I really loved!”

About: I love to make others feel more comfortable about leaving their beloved dog in capable hands while they are away! I work from home so the dogs are not left alone. I love dogs but am not ready to have two in my home full time. Pet sitting helps to keep my dog socialized. I am able to follow a strict routine, give medications and have very flexible drop off and pick up times. My dog is very friendly and I have a fenced in yard for plenty of playtime. I work from home so am here to care for them all day.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.

I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a full time college student, and have two classes a day. I will be available for pet care at all hours other than 10-11am, and 12-1pm during my classes. I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!

About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
“Jinna and Dui kept Nissy for 5 hours today as a way for them to get to know Nissy and vise versa before she stays with them for a week starting this Friday. Jinna sent pictures and a video during the stay to help alleviate my fears (we’ve never left Nissy with anyone but family before). When I picked her up, she was happy and interacting with Jinna’s dog and another dog Jinna was sitting for…which was really a wonderful surprise because Nissy usually just tries to hide from other dogs. Jinna’s house is very clean and pet friendly, she has a great back yard and she is so sweet and gentle, and is obviously very comfortable caring for other people’s pets. I can finally relax and enjoy myself when we can’t take our pup with us knowing she will be loved and well cared for by Jinna!”
“We are very thankful with Gabriel for accepting taking care of our Peanut, and understanding how we feel when we can't be with her, we appreciate the pictures and videos a lot, we see how he cares for her and definitely we recommend him to any pup owners. He is very caring and patient, dachshunds are known for being very particular, he understands her dynamics and kept her calm and happy. We're very fortunate that we found Gabriel. Thanks to Rover too for having people who love what they do and are so caring and professional.”
“Hilary and her family took great care of Vinny! This is the happiest I've ever seen him going to and coming home from a sitter. He was tired and so relaxed, not overly clingy like he sometimes is. I will definitely call her next time I'm in town.”

My kids and I are home about 2:30 each day and have the rest of the day to play. We love to go on walks and spoil your baby. We are happy to keep in their crate or allow them to sleep in our beds.

About: I volunteer and foster regularly with Homer's Helpers. I have experience with special needs animals ranging from diabetes, epilepsy, fear aggression, and severe separation anxiety.Any pets that stay in our home must be good with other dogs and cats as we have several in our home. I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience with small animals, reptiles, birds (large and small), and horses in addition to dogs and cats. I have had dogs since I was born. I have fostered many different breeds, from mutts, to pit bulls, to Great Pyrenees. Our dogs are Copper (Pom mix 12.5 lbs), Dexter (Golden Retriever 50lbs), and Versace (Pom mix 4.2lbs). All dogs that come to our home must be 30lbs or under as we don't want to risk our littles getting injured when they play. Our front yard is 1500sqft fully fenced and I have secured chicken wire to the bottom to ensure small dogs can't squeeze through. Our backyard is 500sqft fully privacy fenced, so we are able to accommodate dogs that could jump a 3ft. Our homes exterior is completely covered in security cameras so I can monitor the dogs at all times even if they are not in my immediate line of site. I am certified in dog and cat CPR/first aid through PetTech. I recently began a dog grooming apprenticeship. I am very comfortable giving medication, be it pills or injections I know how to do it. Any dogs that board in our home will be given a complementary "Night Night Cookie" as we call it. A buddy biscuit before bed. They are a healthy treat with no corn, wheat, or soy and come in many different flavors for dogs with different allergies. Dogs who board will be kenneled at night, we have crates available for use that are sanitized after each dog. We also feed meals in crates to avoid food aggression. I also offer Boss Dog frozen yogurt for $3 a serving and organic bone broth as a treat or food topper for $2. I can provide a lickimat or Kong filled with organic peanut butter for $2. I am able to provide Blackwood kibble for $2 a day if you forget to pack their regular kibble. We do also have a freezer that we can store raw food if needed. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home. We also have a dog treadmill that we can have dog boarding with us use to ensure adequate excercise during their stay. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test, this is the policy of the rescue I work with in order to maintain my foster status. I have security cameras on the exterior of my home with all of both yards visible. I am planning on adding cameras in every room in the house. Dogs are crated to eat their meals to prevent food aggression. Toys are not made available until I have monitored how all the dogs in the home interact together on multiple occasions to ensure there is no resource guarding. All cabinets and closets are child locked so no dog is able to open them and get into anything they shouldn't. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home.

About: Hi there! I’m a big animal lover and I would love to take care of your fur baby. I'm available weekdays as well as weekends. I live 5 minutes away from a park so going for little run or a nice walk will always be something fun to do. If you plan on leaving your dog with me more than one night I'm totally comfortable with that. We have a nice fenced in play area at the apartment complex for the dogs to run around. I am willing to take your dog to get groomed or bathed if your schedule is too busy. I'm your go to girl. If your dog is ready for some adventure then let's get this party started. Thank you. I work full time, evenings from 3-11pm, but my roommate is home by 5pm at the latest, so someone will always be around. I’m also free on Friday and the weekend. My pets are allowed all over the house, they sleep in bed with me, and I let them on the couch as well. They are my roommates and have the same privileges as me lol
About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing! Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!

“Riley (the dog) seemed to be happy in pictures that Bethany took. Bethany was easy to deal with and had good communication. Very satisfied with the overall experience. I would use Bethany again.”
“Steve took excellent care of Max! We haven't had the best of experiences with our dog being cared for while we are away. I am so glad we found Steve on here. He went the extra mile to help us feel at ease and we appreciated the updates!”
“Joshua was great from start to finish. He was flexible and accommodating, sent lots of updates, and Luna took to him immediately. We will absolutely rebook with him for future needs and are very happy to have had the chance to work with him!”
“Kyungyeon was above and beyond the most incredible sitter for our Copper!! We got so many updates and made sure our boy was happy and comfortable the whole time!!!! We are so thankful!!”
“This was our first time boarding our dogs and we were super nervous. Max is a German Rott and not the friendliest at first sight. It takes him a moment to get comfortable with new faces. However, he is truly a loving, loyal and protective doggie. Marley, an English Cocker Spaniel is easy to adore and just wants hugs and rubs all day. Desirae was nothing but hospitable, patient, accommodating, and professional. She continued to provide photos and updates while we were away and made sure we were comfortable. She was very aware of what they needed and following our instructions to ensure they maintained their routine. This was such a wonderful first experience and I would definitely recommend Desirea. Look no further - she is absolutely amazing!”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and Julie and I couldn't have been more pleased!! We did a meet and greet and she was just a joy and our pup loved her. She took care our of Goldendoodle like it was her own. She sent a few update pictures and was super responsive. I would definitely recommend Julie and will use her for future vacations!”
“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”
“Kailly was awesome for our first weeklong visit with her. Our tiny and slightly anxious papillon easily made friends with the other dogs Kailly was watching and enjoyed being buddies with Kailly's kitties. We saw pics of our pup snoozing on her back, clearly showing her comfort and ease in her new surroundings. Kailly offered regular brushings as we requested, and sent pics daily. We're delighted to have found Kailly and will use her again.”
“Marietta and Nanette really love having guest pets at their home. They are welcoming and friendly, there is a chance they may spoil your dog during their stay, lol. I appreciate the time they spend on the meet and greet to ensure a good fit with their little Erin Rose and other regular clients. Highly recommend!”
“Halie was amazing! Our dog had the best weekend with her pup. Accommodated us when we had to go out of town last minute and sent tons of updates with pictures and video. She is incredible!”
“I can't recommend Christina highly enough as a dog sitter! She has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Chloe. From the moment I first left Chloe in her care, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. She is my sitter of choice; I will only turn to someone else if she is ever unavailable. Christina goes above and beyond to ensure Chloe is happy and well taken care of. She sends plenty of pictures, which always brighten my day and keep me informed about how Chloe is doing. It’s clear that she truly cares for my dog as if she were her own. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter, Christina is the perfect choice. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I know Chloe loves her too!”
“Candie was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my pups and she made it such an easy experience. She sent me pictures every day, updated me, she made my nerves calm a lot. For sure taking my pups to her again!”
“Christina was great and would recommend her. She provided daily updates and was easy to communicate with throughout the process, from originally booking all the way up past my pup being picked up. Will definitely use Christina again in the future!”
“Thank you to Danielle and family. They all accepted my Suga with open arms and made her feel at home. Suga was happy to see me, and at the same time it was hard for her to leave. I highly recommend them and definitely will be using them in the future.”
