“I had my 8 mo pup stay with Katie as a trial run before a longer trip, as he has not been around other dogs much and I was worried about the dynamic. I am so glad that I did because he did so well and Katie was so communicative in giving updates. I feel completely comfortable and confident in leaving him with Katie for the longer trip now. Thank you!”

“Tammy was our first-time sitter with Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. Leaving our girls for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Tammy made the entire experience stress-free. She was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly loves dogs. She sent us daily photos and updates, giving us peace of mind that our girls were in good hands. When we got home, they were happy and relaxed, and we couldn’t thank Tammy enough for giving us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Tammy!”
“Amanda was our of town but Donnie and their kids took great care of Stuart. This was his second stay with them and when we got to their house he was scrambling to get to the door, so I knew he must have had a good experience the first time. Nice, friendly family and I have no doubt Stuart received the best treatment.”

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.
About: We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit. We have recently begun boarding in our home again and have adopted a new goldendoodle Lincoln on 3/22/24. He will be about 60lbs once full grown He’s sweet and full of energy and loves to play with all dogs. I have had my own dogs for about 11 years and have also taken care of friends pets although usually in their own homes.

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
“Mary is just the best with Zeus. she has actually been in his life for about 8 yrs now. I was so happy to see she had moved back to the area. She treats him like her own. He is allowed out in her wonderfully fenced and safe back yard freely as weather permits. She is always kind and considerate when dealing with me and Zeus. Its like he is home when he stays with her and I never worry about his care when he is there. Would highly recommend her..”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine.

About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Our puppy loved her visit with Sarah and Jared. It was such a relief to me to not have to worry about her! She was sad to leave and slept the rest of the afternoon. Plan to reach out to them again! Thanks!”

We are able to crate dogs if needed but we love to spend as much time playing as possible. We are always outside with the dogs if they are in our yard so they are never out there alone! My husband works from home all of the time and I work from home about 50% of the time so we have a lot of flexibility during the work day to let them out and take care of them. We love spending time at home on the weekends! We treat all dogs that come to us like they are our own. We love to snuggle and play throughout the day. We want them to have the best time here!
“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
“Poppy had a great daycare with Maria and Beanie! Maria sent updates with photos and is great with communication regarding services and care. Highly recommend and will be scheduling another visit soon :)”

“Dirk was great! He met my babies and they started to get warmed right up! Bo was nervous and Dirk was calm and willing to let him choose when he as ready to snuggle. Super awesome and helpful with local tips about Cincinnati!”
About: I grew up with dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as Great Danes so I’m happy to accommodate dogs of any size and breed. I’ve had the opportunity to foster over a dozen strays with less than desirable beginnings, but I believe all pets can reach their full potential with love and attention. I love being outside so I’m down to take your dog for long walks if he or she is up for it. I have a flexible schedule so happy to work around you and your pets needs. I currently work from home and love breaking up my routine with caring for animals. Your pet would be a welcome addition to my day!

About: Hi! I’m someone who has always had a huge soft spot for animals. 🐾 My love for dogs started early - I actually started my own dog walking business in middle school! Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs, cats, and horses for friends, family, and other pet owners. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and favorite things. My sweet dog, Ollie, recently passed away from cancer, and I miss having a pup around more than I can say. I’d love to fill some of that time by giving your dog plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away. ❤️ I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way! I work full time Monday-Friday from 8:30am-5pm, but I am able to stop home midday for potty breaks/a quick walk. I am available before/after work during the week, on the weekends, and during holidays to walk or watch your pup 😊 I live in a first level condo in an extremely dog friendly neighborhood with lots of grass for potty breaks. Dogs are family in my home and are welcome to snuggle on the couch and in bed with me!
