“Tammi was an amazing host to our dog. This was our first time leaving her with someone besides a family member or friend, and we wanted to make sure that she was with someone who would give her plenty of love and attention. I read many reviews and did a lot of research before choosing Tammi to care for her. After our initial meet-and-greet, I knew that she would be perfect. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very experienced. Macy is anxious in new surroundings, and Tammi did a great job of helping her acclimate to a new situation. She sent us photos and updates regularly. Knowing that Macy was doing well helped us to enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Tammi!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She took great care of our dog for an entire week and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and quick responses whenever we had questions. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!”

“Chrissy gets a 5-Star review from our family. Professional, Caring,Organized. She took care of my 3 dogs and took excellent care of them. I had multiple dogs on meds and she took care of all that. She sent me pictures and updates during my trip , so that I could see how they were doing. Chrissy made me feel so comfortable .From the first time we met her , I knew that my dogs would be in great hands. Will definitely be using her service again. 100percent recommend Chrissy!”

“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”

“Jane was great Penny. We really appreciated her pictures and it looked like Penny really enjoyed her time with Jane. Would recommend and definitely will use her again!!”

“Angel was great watching my dog! She provided pictures throughout boarding as well as updates on how he was doing. It helped relieve a lot of stress with leaving my dog for the first time.”

“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Katie! She took care of our 3 dogs (including our giant Great Dane puppy—lots of energy and slobber 😅) for 10 days and went above and beyond the entire time. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. All of our dogs came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. You can tell Katie truly cares about the animals she watches. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”

“Being new to Rover I was very nervous about leaving my baby with a stranger. But Patricia looked after Louie as if he were her own! He just LOVES her!! She is so sweet, kind and dedicated. We call her Auntie Patricia as she feels part of the family now”

“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“Dana and Jason were very sweet and did a great job caring for Onyx! Dana sent lots of photos which we really appreciated. It was our first time leaving Onyx with Dana and Jason and plan on coming back!”

“We appreciate Mariah and Anthony for being super flexible with taking care of our fur babies last minute! They accommodated for our family and took great care. Thank you guys!”

“Emily was the best person we could’ve asked for, for our sweet boy to stay with. It was a last minute request and Emily was very accommodating from adjusting the times we needed to pickup and drop off. She kept him active with walks, playing outside, and getting to interact with other dogs. She sent multiple updates including pictures and videos which eased my mind with our dog being in a new environment. Everest came home happy, well loved, and worn out. Emily treated him like her own. We would DEFINITELY book with her again.”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every cat like they’re part of my family. I understand that every cat has unique needs, whether they’re a playful kitten or a senior cat who needs extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. I have a special soft spot for senior cats and understand the importance of providing a calm, stress-free environment where they feel safe and loved. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping cat parents updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every cat feel comfortable, secure, and happy in my care. I have been caring for a variety of pets for friends and family for many years.

“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”


“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”


About: i have taken care of a variety of cats with diverse ranges in size, personality, and friendly towards both strangers and close relatives. I have trained my own cat, Korin (aka Mufassa) well! To the point he’s comfortable with commands although he does not always obey! 🤣 he’s got a very rogue personality. Korin is over a decade old at this point but still in prime condition and health! I honed my cat caretaker skills over the years with many feline furry friends, and will likely always have one in my life as cats bring a certain balance to life that is hard to otherwise find. Cats tend to be the easiest animal to care for from my experience, as they are the most obvious to read. You know fairly quickly where you stand, with both dogs and cats, and no matter where you stand you can build from that by maintaining constant gas in your JEEP Jesus Enthusiasm Encouragement Peace Long as you operate in the JEEP everything will be exactly what it is meant to be🎶
About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.
About: I stand out for my calm, reliable care and my ability to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I’m attentive to routines, clear on communication, and focused on making every animal feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work 7:30-4 Monday-Friday. I am happy to provide care during the week if the pet is used to going a full work day alone. I can provide full day care on weekends. :) I prefer to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow their normal routine; feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so everything stays familiar and stress free. I keep the home tidy, give plenty of attention, and make sure each pet feels safe and relaxed while their family is away.

“Harley seemed to have a good visit with Hannah! It was a semi-long day for Harley in the crate, but he was still tired for bed which means he must of had a good energy release when Hannah visited.”

About: I grew up with dogs in my home for 24 years. Both puppies and seniors. I love all breeds and sizes. All dogs are adorable! I have my own pup, he has been trained by me and knows a number of tricks. I understand a dogs body language and understand if things need to be taken slow with your fur baby. I will work with aggressive dogs to a certain extent, with an increase in price. I currently work at a dog boarding facility! Book any day, any time (we can always adjust the times in conversation!) I am more than happy to check in and/or walk your loving pup! <3 I am always respectful and thoughtful. Animals are my FAVORITE in the world, they bring me so much happiness each and every day! They’re just so cute 🥹

About: I’ve watched cats since I was 9 years old. I lived in an apartment complex so I’d take care of all the neighbors cats. One of the cats I currently own takes a daily medication and is a fighter against it so I know how to wrangle a cat to administer medication, but I believe in a fear free approach! I am not scared of being clawed or bit at all, but will do all I can to avoid it! My goal is to keep your kitty happy and healthy! I have no problem cleaning litter boxes, accidents or hair balls as I have four cats of my own.
About: Hello! I have been a vet assistant for three years and worked at a dog daycare for three years. I have plenty of experience walking and taking care of the tiniest cats to the biggest dogs. I have experience with exotics as well. I absolutely love being around animals because they always brighten my day. I have had dogs my entire life, so I am comfortable around any dog. I would love to help take care of your animals! I’ll even add in bonus belly scratches and plenty of treats! I work full time as a vet assistant, but typically have a couple of days off throughout the week. I am hoping to take care of animals on the days I am available. Currently I am unable to host any dogs in my own household. I will only be available for walking and drop ins as of right now. I promise to always make the animals as comfortable as possible and have positive interactions. I am very respectful of client’s homes as well.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life such as many different breeds of dogs and cats. I live an animal friendly home and absolutely love helping out animals. I have rescued and fostered cats as well! I would love to help those who need assistance and give your animals extra love! I am always taking care of my animals at home so I continue my skills and experience always. I am a college student at UC, but I am only 20 minutes from home! I love to take walks and spend time with animals as much as I can so fitting animal care in my routine is very easy. I am very responsible and loving when it comes to animal care.

About: I have had my own animals and worked in vets offices my whole life. I have a variety of animals in my own home. I love all creatures big and small. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all the time! My kids are in school or daycare during the day so I am very free. I am home taking care of the home and my own animals and can be reached any day or time. I have 2 dogs. We have an acre fenced in yard so plenty of room to run out some energy! We are outside of the city and enjoy the privacy we have. We use leashes to walk from our front door to our fenced in yard and have plenty of space to accommodate crates if needed. We can do crates for dogs that need it but I pride myself on treating my boarders like my own. With free range of my home and multiple hours spent outside in the sun.
About: I began professionally caring for animals 10 years ago when I got a job at PetSmart as a Pet Care associate! From there, I became a kennel technician at one of the top rated veterinary clinics in Cincinnati, Animal Care Center, and after a year of working there as a kennel technician they trained me to be a veterinary technician. I then had my first son and stayed home with him and had a farm with pigs, chickens, and all kinds of wonderful animals! When I decided to rejoin the work force, of course I went back to what I love most, caring for animals. I worked at two different kennels full time and helped manage one of them. I am able to give medications to pets and I’m comfortable giving insulin shots. If you’re interested in drop-ins for medication only while you’re at work or out, I can do that! I’m available any time, just discuss with me what would work best for you. During overnight stays, I will fill out a report to return to you so you will have complete details of how your pet was while you’re away! I’m also willing to FaceTime and send pictures so you know that your pet is safe and sound. Housemates would be my loving and gentle 5 year old son and my fiancé. I have a small chihuahua myself who is very friendly with all other pets. Since I do have children, any pets staying at my home must be child friendly. I’m always available whenever you need me. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Short notice or planning months in advance? I’m here! I have two children who love pets and give them plenty of friendly attention. I also have a chihuahua who gets along with other dogs but is convinced she’s truly a cat so she doesn’t play much! Pets remain leashed at all times during walks and get walked multiple times a day during pet-sitting.

About: I have over 10 years of experience of caring for dogs. I have 2 of my own and they love making new friends! I am a stay at home mom of 2 children so your fur baby will always have someone with them. I have a spacious backyard and a large deck so your pet will have lots of room to roam around safely. Caring for your pet fits perfectly into my life as if they were my own. I am home every single day of the week to provide love and care for your pal Your pet will have a spacious yard to roam around, and a large deck to lounge on (or sunbathe! 😉). Lots of potty breaks, and playtime.
“We were on our way to the Ark Encounter and needed a place for our two dogs to stay. Mariah and Anthony were kind enough to take them in for the day. Our dogs felt right at home. They have a nice fenced in back yard and was very safe for them to play in. Their two German Shepherds were very nice and friendly and got a long great with our two dogs. Mariah and Anthony were very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we were in the area.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a multi-dog household of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From high-energy breeds that need structure and exercise to older dogs who just want a calm, predictable environment—I adjust my care to fit what your dog actually needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, crate training, basic commands, and monitoring group dynamics to keep things safe and stress-free. I’m especially mindful when introducing dogs, supervising play, and making sure everyone gets attention without things becoming chaotic or overwhelming. I’m also used to keeping a close eye on behavior and health—changes in appetite, energy, or mood don’t go unnoticed. If something seems off, I catch it early and communicate right away. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own: safe, structured, and well cared for… with a little extra spoiling mixed in. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be known, understood, and genuinely cared about while they’re with me. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to build my day around the dogs in my care—not the other way around. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including specific feeding schedules, medication timing, crate needs, or just extra attention for dogs who need it. Structured potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, interaction, care and additional breaks if needed. Whether your dog thrives on structure or needs a little extra flexibility, I can adjust to what works best for them to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. All care is provided in my home, where I keep things calm, structured, and closely supervised. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs are not left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to actively monitor behavior, play, and overall well-being. I’m very intentional about safety—introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully, and I pay close attention to each dog’s temperament to make sure everyone is a good fit. I don’t allow chaotic, unsupervised group play. Instead, I keep things controlled so dogs can feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. My home is dog-friendly and set up with both secure indoor space and safe outdoor access for potty breaks and fresh air. I also maintain clean routines for feeding, water, and rest areas to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own—kept safe, well cared for, and genuinely looked after, not just “watched.”
“Sadie and Lola had the BEST day playing with their new friends! I’ve had a lot of experience with Rover and could easily see that my girls felt welcomed and cared for throughout their stay! Jamie was quick and efficient in responding to all my questions. I received updates and pictures throughout the day and could see my girls were in the best of hands! Sadie and Lola will be back soon! I highly recommend Jamie!”


“So great! My puppy Steve loves going to Kimberly's house he has lots of playtime with the other dogs that are there, Kimberly keeps in contact with me sending pictures of my pup playing, she takes them on walks! I couldn't be more happy with the doggie daycare, Steve is much more happy and stimulated and I'm relaxed knowing he's being well taken care of and getting the love and attention he needs”

“Kerri was wonderful, I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur baby. Very patient, attentive, and all around genuine person. Got us out of a bind this holiday weekend with my Mikko. I can’t thank her enough.”

About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.

About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”

“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”


“Karen did a fantastic job caring for my Loki. She made sure that my dog was safe and took my extremely attached dog with her wherever she went. Which I really appreciated because my dog hates being alone. She provided me with updates throughout the day. I felt my baby was really well cared for a safe while in her care.”
About: I've had pets my whole life and absolutely love animals! I have a ton of experience with all types of animals and absolutely will love yours like my own! I have worked with animals from babies to elderly and have provided many aspects of care and maintenance. I am home almost all day everyday unless running errands, which never take me long. I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and spend time with them! I am available for house sitting, walking, and check ins throughout the weekend. I have 3 of my own dogs. 2 high energy GSPs that require lots of exercise and attention, as well as a Chihuahua who is an old lady who loves attention and her alone time. I am open to introducing them if you want to work on socialization! I also have experience with kennel and potty training.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. We currently have 4 dogs of our own. Pets are allowed on the furniture, in the bed with us and we love cuddles! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of neighbors with dogs. They love to run the fence line. I am home outside of errands and can manage your dogs while you are at work. They will have frequent potty breaks and lots of room to play. Dogs are apart of the family. They are allowed on the furniture and the beds, we have extra play space and the house is baby proof.

About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.

About: I am a dog owner myself, having dogs throughout my whole life. I love any and all dogs and would love an opportunity to meet yours. I’ve had past experience watching both dogs and cats, where I’ve stayed overnight, fed, walked, and cared for pets in various ways. I also have reliable transportation and am willing to accommodate any needs necessary. I am eager to learn anything that will help your pet feel safer and happier while caring for them! I’m free throughout most days this summer, so my attention can be fully on your pets! Other than occasional trips/errands out, I can stay as long as you need with your fur babies! I’m very comfortable doing anything you need within your home for your pets! I can crate if needed, and I love walking if that’s something you’d like your pet to experience.
About: Updated Parvo vaccine and flea and tick meds are mandatory! It is very important to keep all the puppies safe. I grew up on a farm taking care of many types of animals. I have always had an animal in my care and could not imagine life without one. I make my own schedule as an esthetician and photographer so I have plenty of free time to love on your fur babies and give them the best of lovins! I live on a large farm in Switzerland County so your fur babies will have plenty of room to run and play. I have two dogs, two cats, and two pigs to keep your fur friends company.
About: Hello my name is Tyler. I’m 40 yrs old and I love spending time with dogs. I have been a dog owner and have trained all my own dogs. Currently I’m unemployed due to having brain surgery at the end of 24’ and then the follow up treatments taking most of 25’. So I have lotsa time, attention, and love to give your pet(s). This is actually my attempt at getting back into the working world. Can’t imagine a much better way to ease back into work than to help some people out with their pet care needs. I have a park walking distance from my house that I can take dogs to run around and use the bathroom and I live in a good area for walks. I am well versed on typical dog etiquette in public around other people and animals. I have experience with all types of dogs large and small. I’m a big guy and can handle the larger breeds pretty well usually, but also caring for the little ones as well. I always prioritize the pet(s) health and safety first, and then having some fun second :). I would love to provide a safe and relaxing spot for your pet(s). Also FYI - for boardings if pickup on the last day is after noon I will ask for a day fee of $35. I’m currently unemployed due to brain surgery I had this time last year to remove a large cancerous tumor. Luckily I recovered beautifully and quickly and am still fully functional, minus a little extra forgetfulness but nothing bad at all. So I’m available all days of the week, and have all my time, attention and love to give your pet(s). I’m very experienced with dogs of all types large, small, u name it. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and about 225 lbs so I can handle em all. I’m also rather calm and quiet which I believe helps animals feel at ease around me. I’d take care of yours as if they were my own! :) I take as much precaution as I can with all animals certainly someone else’s. The animals safety and health are my number one concern when caring for someone’s loved pet(s).

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires.

About: Hello! I have been a vet assistant for three years and worked at a dog daycare for three years. I have plenty of experience walking and taking care of the tiniest cats to the biggest dogs. I have experience with exotics as well. I absolutely love being around animals because they always brighten my day. I have had dogs my entire life, so I am comfortable around any dog. I would love to help take care of your animals! I’ll even add in bonus belly scratches and plenty of treats! I work full time as a vet assistant, but typically have a couple of days off throughout the week. I am hoping to take care of animals on the days I am available. Currently I am unable to host any dogs in my own household. I will only be available for walking and drop ins as of right now. I promise to always make the animals as comfortable as possible and have positive interactions. I am very respectful of client’s homes as well.
About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.
About: Hi! I have taken care of a lot animals growing up. Not only have I taken care of my own animals but also for other people, this ranged my cats to horses. I believe pets are family and deserves to be treated with much love as anyone else. My top priority is to make sure your pet(s) are safe and happy. I offer overnight care, am available later in the day on weekdays, and have open availability anytime on weekends. I will try to work with your schedule. Your pets safety is my top priority and with my knowledge of taking care of pets, you will be at ease knowing your pet is safe. I can handle dogs from small to large sizes. I am more than capable of walking dogs on a leash safely. I have came across a few bad situations with pets before and can say I can safely handle the situation.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life such as many different breeds of dogs and cats. I live an animal friendly home and absolutely love helping out animals. I have rescued and fostered cats as well! I would love to help those who need assistance and give your animals extra love! I am always taking care of my animals at home so I continue my skills and experience always. I am a college student at UC, but I am only 20 minutes from home! I love to take walks and spend time with animals as much as I can so fitting animal care in my routine is very easy. I am very responsible and loving when it comes to animal care. I have taken care of large dogs as well as small so I am very educated when it comes to animal care without different breeds. I am interested in house sitting, dog walking, and even staying over night if needed!

About: I’ve taken care of family/friends dogs and cats. I’ve been a pet owner for 8+ years so I know how much animals mean to us! I’m saving up to pay for my studies and I currently work part time so the rest of my time can go to caring for your pet. I’m available from 8am-9pm weekdays! I have a fenced yard and a Shih Tzu who loves others pets and will keep your furry loved one company. We go on daily walks.
About: I have had pets for my whole life. Most of my friends called my house a "zoo" growing up because of the wide range of animals we had around the house, from puppies to snakes to pigs- we had it all. When caring for another animal, I treat it like it were my own. I always saw my pets as an extension of my own family and want to treat all animals the same way. I am currently home from college right now, so I am flexible. I have 3 pets of my own who I take care of, other than that I am free. It depends on the pet and their individual needs. I have a dog, but he is extremely active and loves being outdoors, so letting him out every hour or couple minutes is important for him. Whereas, another dog may not enjoy. being outside as much or have certain medical needs that prevents them from running. I love cuddling up on the couch with my pets (dog and two cats), and giving them affection. I also enjoy spending time with them by getting them active and playing their favorite games/ toys.

“Tammi was an amazing host to our dog. This was our first time leaving her with someone besides a family member or friend, and we wanted to make sure that she was with someone who would give her plenty of love and attention. I read many reviews and did a lot of research before choosing Tammi to care for her. After our initial meet-and-greet, I knew that she would be perfect. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very experienced. Macy is anxious in new surroundings, and Tammi did a great job of helping her acclimate to a new situation. She sent us photos and updates regularly. Knowing that Macy was doing well helped us to enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Tammi!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She took great care of our dog for an entire week and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and quick responses whenever we had questions. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!”

“Chrissy gets a 5-Star review from our family. Professional, Caring,Organized. She took care of my 3 dogs and took excellent care of them. I had multiple dogs on meds and she took care of all that. She sent me pictures and updates during my trip , so that I could see how they were doing. Chrissy made me feel so comfortable .From the first time we met her , I knew that my dogs would be in great hands. Will definitely be using her service again. 100percent recommend Chrissy!”

“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Katie! She took care of our 3 dogs (including our giant Great Dane puppy—lots of energy and slobber 😅) for 10 days and went above and beyond the entire time. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. All of our dogs came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. You can tell Katie truly cares about the animals she watches. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”

“Being new to Rover I was very nervous about leaving my baby with a stranger. But Patricia looked after Louie as if he were her own! He just LOVES her!! She is so sweet, kind and dedicated. We call her Auntie Patricia as she feels part of the family now”

“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“We appreciate Mariah and Anthony for being super flexible with taking care of our fur babies last minute! They accommodated for our family and took great care. Thank you guys!”

“Emily was the best person we could’ve asked for, for our sweet boy to stay with. It was a last minute request and Emily was very accommodating from adjusting the times we needed to pickup and drop off. She kept him active with walks, playing outside, and getting to interact with other dogs. She sent multiple updates including pictures and videos which eased my mind with our dog being in a new environment. Everest came home happy, well loved, and worn out. Emily treated him like her own. We would DEFINITELY book with her again.”


“My golden retriever loves Karen and our dog is generally timid with new people but Karen’s energy and patience are just perfect. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Hailey was the perfect place to leave our cat Ginger while on vacation for 2 weeks in Italy. We had great peace of mind knowing that she recieved great care and attention. Will use Hailey again and highly recommended for your pets.”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Leann for taking such wonderful care of my dog, Abi, for an entire month. From the very beginning, Leann stepped in on extremely short notice, accepting our last-minute reservation without hesitation. This was such a relief for us, and from that moment on, Leann exceeded all our expectations. Throughout the entire month, Leann maintained constant communication with us, ensuring that we were always updated on Abi's well-being. She sent us frequent photos and videos, often more than once a day, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable Abi was under her care. It was clear from the start that Abi wasn’t just being taken care of; she was being genuinely loved and cherished. Leann didn’t just meet Abi’s basic needs; she went above and beyond to make sure Abi had plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Seeing Abi’s joyful expressions and playful moments in the photos and videos made us feel incredibly reassured, knowing she was in such good hands. Leann's commitment to Abi's happiness and her ability to create a warm, loving environment truly set her apart. Not only did Leann provide exceptional care, but she also brought a sense of peace and security to us during a time when we needed it most. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Abi, and we will absolutely be turning to Leann again in the future. Thank you, Leann, for everything you did for our family. You are truly a gem!”

“Amanda & Donnie took great care of our two dogs while we were gone. We got communication and pictures from them every day. Our dogs, one of which is a senior dog on many medications were cared for as if they were their own dog. They took extra special care of our anxious dog with lots of storms and 4th of July fireworks while we were gone. We felt at ease knowing how well they were cared for while we were gone for 10 days. I would highly recommend them and will use them again.”

“Jamie was wonderful with our dogs while we were visiting the Creation and Ark museum from out of town. She communicated with us before and during our dog's stay. She worked with our drop off and pick up hours, and took great care of our pets. We would absolutely use her again!”


“This is our second booking with Kymberlee and her family. Our two dogs always come home tired and well loved. We received daily updates, pictures, and videos. It’s always nice to get communication to put your mind at ease when your pups are away from you. When we go on vacation next year we will make sure to book with Kymberlee and her family again.”

“Cori was great! She worked with me on coordinating drop-off and Pick-Up time and dates. She provided updates and pictures and videos, without me Even Asking for them, which gave me Peace of mind leaving my doggy with her & her family. Definitely recommend and will definitely be a return customer! 😊”
