“Dana was so good with my little dog. My dog is 10yrs old and very shy and timid. Dana took her out for a walk every couple of hours for a walk or let her out in yard. She didn't have any peeing accidents. She was so good to her. Dana also updated me everyday and sent me pictures of my dog during her stay. Sugar my dog was comfortable. I knew Sugar wouldn't eat much while I was gone that's the way she is. I came home a day early yet I let Dana keep the whole amount as tip. I would definitely use Dana again.”

About: I have been petsitting since the age of 10, and caring for my own pets since the age of 13. Besides loving on my two resident cats, one of whom takes daily medication and has special medical needs, I have fostered over 40 cats and kittens for the Kenton County Animal Shelter since 2023. I have given many baths, syringe feedings, medication in pill, liquid, and topical forms, and lots of love to every cat I have gotten to care for. I love a cat with a big personality and have fostered medically complex cats and near-feral cats and kittens in need of socialization and space. Gaining an animal's trust is a gift, and I will be happy to meet your cats wherever they are at. If you are looking for a pet sitter who will be punctual, communicative, and extremely attentive to your kitties, I am the right sitter for you! You can count on me to clean litter boxes, administer medication, ensure food and water are available as instructed, and update you with photos and information about how your cats are doing every time I drop in.
“Angela was a wonderful pet sitter. She took great care of my senior cat who needs medication. She was very communicative and friendly, very easy to talk with and a sweet person. Highly recommend.”
“Leo had very unheard of off day and wasn’t feeling his injection, but Christina did not give up. I appreciated her willingness to make sure the job was done and was very communicative during the drop in.”
“Blair stayed in our home and watched our two sister kitties for 4 nights/5 days. Prior to her stay, she was an excellent communicator and asked lots of good questions. During the visit, she kept in regular contact, sending photos and updates, and left the house in great shape. I appreciate that this is Blair's profession, and she takes this work seriously. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi there! I’m Katie, your go-to pet lover who believes every wag, purr, and cuddle makes life brighter. I’ve grown up around animals and have spent 15 years caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional quirky critter. Whether your pup needs adventurous walks, your senior dog needs gentle care, or your cat just wants a playmate, I’ve got it covered. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to “make time for”—it’s already woven into my daily rhythm. Each day, I start and end with time spent outdoors, which makes dog walking and playtime a natural part of my schedule. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, meals, and check-ins, and I keep my afternoons flexible for drop-ins or longer adventures. When I come to your home, my priority is keeping your pet comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and special quirks are all respected. I keep things tidy, give them plenty of attention, and send you updates so you know they’re well cared for. Pets feel secure because they get to stay in the space they know best, while still getting all the affection and companionship they need.
“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. 😊”
About: Cats have been a constant joy in my life since childhood, and as an adult, I have proudly shared my home with four wonderful felines. Currently, I am cat parent to Indie, a two-year-old short hair who is harness-trained and actively learning how to walk on a leash! Because I truly love cats and understand their unique personalities, quirks, and boundaries, you can trust that your feline friends will receive top-notch attention, playtime, and affection while you're away.

On my off days I like to workout and go for walks so it’s the perfect opportunity to take your dog out for a walk or do a drop-in visit In my own home I have two doodles and I’ve grown to love them and their personalities.

About: I have cared for fur babies for the past 10 years, and my friends trust me with their babies. I treat them just like family members- with love, kindness and respect. I work during the week but I can take care of your pups in the evenings, and all through the weekend. I also work close to home, so if needed I can walk them during my lunch break as well. I have a dog to give your pupper some love and snuggles. We love going to the park. Also, we can also go on long walks in my gated apartment complex.
About: I’ve owned and cared for multiple cats at once (up to 13!), most of them since birth and I’ve also spent over two years fostering, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is to be patient and let cats warm up at their own pace. I’ve always had a special love for cats and have hands-on experience caring for all kinds of personalities—from super social to shy and independent 🐾 I’m experienced with medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, giving lots of love (when they want it 😊), and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I always adjust to what makes them happiest.
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. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.

I can walk any dog no problem have been training our puppy to walk around loose lease. I’m a stay at home mom of 3. So I can drop in as much as needed. I have worked with very skittish dogs on multiple occasions. I will take “aggressive” dogs as a case by case. I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. It started by cleaning litter boxes and giving cats water to taking care of 43 animals by myself. I volunteered at different animal shelters in the different places I have lived at. My husband use to be a K9 handler in the Air force, So I learned training Techniques from him and trained my Golden Retriever with the things I have learned. I am a stay at home mom.

About: What sets us apart is the genuine care and experience we bring to every dog we welcome into our home. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and before having our daughter, we fostered dogs, which gave us experience with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. We currently have a friendly 2-year-old lab mix, so we’re very familiar with maintaining routines, exercise needs, and positive reinforcement. One of our biggest strengths is working with anxious or shy dogs—we’re patient, attentive, and take the time to build trust at each dog’s pace so they feel safe and comfortable. We treat every dog like part of our family and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday. Your dog will have consistent companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. During the day, dogs are free to relax, play, and interact with our friendly 2-year-old lab mix. We also incorporate daily walks and outdoor playtime (weather permitting), along with plenty of attention, affection, and structured routine. Because I’m home, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and adjust care to ensure they feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home. Then when my husband and daughter are not in work or school they will help care for your dogs and play with them. In our home, we strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog in our care. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of exercise in a secure space. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family—free to relax, play, and enjoy a calm, structured routine. We can accommodate crate training if your dog is used to it or needs a safe space while we’re briefly away from home. We pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, a quieter environment, or a consistent routine, so they feel secure and at home during their stay.

About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)

About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.

I will give your pet lots of love and attention. I will follow any special instructions for your pet as you desire. I also have a wonderful fenced in backyard for extra fun playtime if they are staying at my house.

With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.
About: Growing up in a big family in a very populated area of Ohio, I have had plenty of experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs and cats. From newborn puppies and kittens, to senior dogs and cats, I have welcomed them all with open arms! I make sure the little guys/gals are always comfortable. Growing up in Cincinnati, I have made myself very familiar with many areas through my dog walks. I know multiple dog parks and trails throughout the city. I ensure, with me, your dogs are in amazing hands! I look forward to meeting you and your little friend(s)! I am currently working from home so I have 24/7 care for your dog. You will never have to worry about them feeling lonely. I ensure all my attention will be towards them. The more I know your daily schedule, the more I will accommodate to make them feel as if you’ve never even left. If you/your dog has any specific needs, I will be happy to accompany them. I have worked with many different types of animals and have multiple coping mechanisms.
About: I have had dogs all my life and I have a 3 year old lab mix named Frannie. I love giving dogs the attention and exercise that they need to live a happy life! My dog Frannie is hyper active and suffers from anxiety, therefore I know what it is like to have a hyper or uncomfortable dog. I love making sure Frannie feels her best 24/7 and I feel the same about other dogs. I love to go on walks, play fetch, and roll around on the floor with any dog who is willing. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and I will make sure that I leave them as comfortable as they were when I arrived to your home!
About: I am a dog and cat owner. I am very responsible and fun. I think that pets are not just “pets” and that they are family and should be taken care of as so. I have experience watching three different families animals. I watched a families dog for 3 months when they went over seas. I try my best to be flexible but I do attend nursing school. Outside of my classes I typically have an open schedule. I am dependable when it comes to being punctual and completing any and all tasks. I set goals for myself and I always give 110 percent in whatever I am doing. I am comfortable with any sized dog and also any other pets. I am also comfortable with any age of the animal that I am taking care of. I work from home and build my own schedule. I have flexibility in my schedule to take pets to dog parks and out for a long walk. I respect that pets are most comfortable in their own space with their own smells and routines. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding times and walk routes to any quirks or commands your pet knows. I treat your home with care and always leave it exactly as I found it.

She already had crates at her home for my dogs, which made the process a lot easier not having to pack so much.

Very thankful for her flexibility and taking care of my boys.”

They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”
