“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“Avery was AMAZING with our German Shepherd puppy Maverick! She kept us in the loop daily with pictures and texts. She took him on multiple walks a day, got him a pup cup, and even took him to PetSmart to pick out a new toy. If you’re looking for a sitter who will dedicate 100% of her time to your dog, Avery is the one!”
“Kimberely was the best sitter I have had. I could tell my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time. She stopped to say thank you to Kimberely. Kim creates a loving, safe and fun environment. She watches several dogs at a time which was the best mix for my dog. The dogs were having a dog party every day. I already have Kim booked for my dog's next stay. I know my dog misses Kim already!”
“Alycia is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Archie! 🐶 She is dependable, caring, and treats him like her own. I never have to worry when Archie is with her—he’s always happy, well cared for, and loved. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Alycia is there for him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Dawn was amazing! We were able to meet up before our trip so Hondo could meet her and her dog. I received photos daily and when my little guy got homesick she went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and happy. We definitely would recommend Dawn and will be using her services in the future!”
“Katie was flexible and accommodating. She was easy to communicate with, and she sent several pictures and updates. We will definitely contact her in the future if we need a sitter :)”
“Tricia watched my 2 cats for a week and a half. She wasn't just a sitter, she LOVED on the kitties and the kitties loved on her and her 2 sweet kids as well! Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“We love Debbie. She is very welcoming and accommodating to your pet's needs. She's great about sending pictures and updates on our dog's stay with her. Bill can be a nervous nelly and weird about other dogs at times, but I feel extremely comfortable leaving him with her and know he will be in good caring hands.”
“Such a great sitter!!! Nancy was fantastic with our senior pupp, Domino. Her communication was fantastic, and he kept us fully updated with pictures during his stay. We look forward to booking Nancy to care for Domi during our future travels!”
“Lauren and Wynn are awesome. We have used them quite a few times now and they have been so patient with our always loving, high energy and somewhat mischievous pup!”
“Taylor was great! She was kind and gentle with Elfie. During Elfie's stay, she sent photos and text messages reassuring us that she was okay. We will be using Rover and Taylor for future needs. Scott B.”
“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”
About: Hi! I’m Heather — a stay-at-home foster mom, runner, dog lover, and experienced foster/service dog handler based in Batavia, Ohio. After years in corporate recruiting, I’m finally leaning into a life that feels a little more like me — being home with our foster son, spending more time with dogs, being outside, going on walks, and building something slower and more meaningful here in Ohio. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped foster and raise more than 50 dogs over the years, including service dogs in training, and I’m also a certified volunteer through the Clermont County Animal Shelter where I walk dogs, take dogs on day trips, and foster here in Ohio. Before moving here, I also helped watch and walk dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and foster connections in Minnesota. I genuinely love all breeds and personalities and really enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. Since I’m home most of the day, dogs here get lots of supervision, outdoor time, enrichment, walks, naps, snuggles, and attention throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labs that love having dog friends around. I know how hard it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I’m big on communication and love sending lots of photo updates throughout their stay so you know they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, meals on their normal schedule, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m not away for long workdays, pets spend very little time alone and are part of our family’s daily activities. Safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labrador Retrievers who are used to having other dogs around. I’ve fostered and raised more than 50 dogs, including service dogs in training, and I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, crate schedules, medications, and introductions. Meet & greets are required before all new boarding stays so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit for both your dog and our home. I want every dog to feel safe, successful, and stress-free during their stay.
“Not only did my dog, Riley get to know Dani and Jathan, but also enjoyed getting more love from other family members. They were very attentive and after getting many updates and pictures from them, we knew Riley was in good hands. Truly good dog people who welcome their client’s dogs into their home and make them accepted and welcome. Will use them again. This was the first time we left Riley with someone and it was for two full weeks. Five stars from us.”
“Jessica is great! My old dog is a bit needy and she was so sweet, meeting him where he’s at and not complaining about giving him extra attention. My kids and I all loved that she sent daily updates with photos. We will definitely check in with Jessica next time we need a sitter!”
“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!”
“I would recommend Stephanie and family! Stephanie provided day to day updates to keep me informed of Georgia's comfort level. While she has been timid around new people in the past, Georgia adapted well with this family. Thank you!”

“They are so wonderful!! I never worry about my kitty cat when we are traveling. They take such wonderful care of her and spend time cuddling and playing with her and making sure that she has all of the things that she needs refilled or cleaned. 30 out of 10 recommend!”
“Kelly did an incredible job taking care of our babies. We felt good leaving them in her hands. She sent the cutest pictures and was consistent with her check in times. We would use her again 100 times!”
“Dave was very friendly, punctual, well groomed, and dependable. He came to our home for the meet and greet, and the animals responded very well to him, so we knew that he would be great. He sent pictures, he took our dog for walks, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone.”
“Had 4 drop in visits for 2 cats over a weekend and was very satisfied; on-time, very knowledgeable, cats liked her, respectful, and did very well. 10/10 would recommend for any pet care needs.”
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our cat! She was quick to respond and easy to work with to book the dates we needed. She sent great pictures and updates throughout the week that made us rest assured our cat was in good hands and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and book her again in the future!”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have extensive experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. Through years of hands-on care, I have become familiar with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, grooming, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior that may indicate stress or health concerns. I understand that every cat is unique and strive to provide patient, attentive care while respecting their individual preferences and boundaries. My lifelong experience has helped me create a calm, comfortable environment where cats feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Debra was attentive, leaving great notes and photos each day so that I would be updated and kept in the loop. I was also lucky that she was able to work in my last minute job and offered to come by for a very last minute meet and greet which was so very appreciated! I would highly recommend!”
“Avery is amazing!! The only cat sitter I hire. She is attentive and loves my cats. She keeps me informed and sends lots of pictures. My vacations are so much more enjoyable knowing she is checking on them daily. I will never use anyone else. She is the best!!”
About: I wanted a cat since I was a child. My parents made that dream come true in my early teens, and now that boy is almost a senior! I volunteered at a shelter and met and cared for all sorts of fur babies. When I moved away, it was lonely, and it didn't take long before I adopted a kitten. Almost 6 years later and he's chillin' with me while I write this, and my partner's cat is watching the birds. I would love to give the same love I give my babies to your very own!
“Margo took great care of my crazy Pup! She was very communicative and made sure he was thoroughly entertained and comfortable during her visits, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. The adorable pictures she sent were also a huge plus ☺️ She is definitely my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“Jessica was attentive, sincere, and happy to engage our cat above and beyond our expectations. We had just laid out for her to feed and make sure he got his pill, but she also spent time socializing, playing, and even cleaned out the cat box without us asking her to. We thought he loved us, until we saw the photos she sent from her visits. She won him over and surely made our absence more bearable for him. 11/10 will contact again next time we need a cat sitter!”
About: I’m a caring and reliable cat sitter who treats every feline like family. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats gentle attention. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to keep your cat safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether your kitty loves cuddles, quiet company, or interactive play, I’ll make sure they feel secure and well cared for.
“Corey was great. She kept us informed about our kitten/cat while we were away over Thanksgiving, and everything was in great shape when we got home. We have a Houdini cat who can scoot out of the door quicker than anything, but she outsmarted him, saving him from coyotes who regularly dine on little cats in our neighborhood.”

About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We moved here to Milford, Cincinnati from Hawaii. Ive taught them, and we all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals for 33 years after) taking care of puppies, adults and senior dogs (a pit bull, a Pekingese, Shih Tzu , then fostered a German Shepard, a Poodle, a black pup Lab), Taken cared of a Golden Retriever, a Pitbull, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around (I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need). Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-8 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, lunch, then around 3-4pm around/after dinner time , and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my child, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. I have taught my children not jump around,not rush, nor scare animals. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them. (Off leash free to run roam inside the house and I have a mini tread mill if outside walks and inside play is not enough). Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”
“Susan is the biggest sweetheart ever ! My boyfriend and I had never left our dog to stay at a sitter and it overall gave me alot of anxiety. I found Susan on rover and picked her to watch my baby. When we dropped my pup off Susan was so accommodating, she let my pup meet all of her dogs one by one, she introduced me to everything and showed me and my boyfriend around. She sent me photos every hour it seemed and showed me my girl was so happy, and having alot of fun during her stay!! she sent tons of updates and I knew my girl was in good hands. I will definitely be using Susan as our future Booker for trips! I never want to leave our pup with anyone but I'll definitely trust Susan to watch my babies !”
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”
“Jonathan was super responsive and willing to do a meet and greet with us. Our dog can be nervous around bigger dogs, so this was really helpful. We were able to do a short 3-hour daycare soon after and really appreciated all of the updates that Jonathan shared throughout Penny's visit. Thanks, Jonathan!”
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”

Friends and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for like my own.

I genuinely love every breed and can walk, play, clean up after or just spend time with any pet! I also am a registered volunteer at a local shelter where I go in to walk the dogs or spend time socializing the cats.

Depending on location, I can be available throughout the week days and almost always available on weekends and evenings! I would be able to keep certain pets in my home. I have a smaller apartment with two cats and will be working, but for example, I could keep a small dog that doesn’t like being alone or a new puppy that is potty training!

With a rescue pup of my own, I can promise to provide the same unconditional love and commitment to your sweeties, as I do my own. I am an educator who works part time over the summers!

I make sure to do everything to the fullest including following your needs and anticipating what your loved one may want/need next!
“Jihting was excellent. Met her & family, including Cupcake, beforehand & she was very understanding of our needs, ensured we knew who would be around, that there would be water, playtime, etc. Would recommend & will use again for Ollie's daycare needs.”

I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals — honestly, dogs are usually easier than people 😂 I’m a stay at home mom with a 3 year old in pre school. I have very flexible availability and availability most days of the week! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats as well I’ve worked with animals in my past and I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve worked at 2 doggy day cares and also have pet care experience
“Tori has been great with communication and flexibility, as well as taking care of my puppy. He loved her so much he cried for her when she left lol! We will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I spent my entire life around animals. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, who lived to be 18. Not long after that, my family adopted a puppy, and later two cats. I helped to train the puppy, I introduced the cats, and today they still thrive. Theoughout my childhood/teens, I learned about and cared for many-a-creature. Guinea pigs, rats, a hamster, sugar gliders, a hedgehog, and even a dove! My passion for animals has only grown. When I moved away, it was lonely, and I was quick to adopt a kitten. He's almost 6 now! My pets are family, and yours are too. I will always care for a pet as if it were my own! I am currently working from home as a digital artist & jewelry maker, so I am able to set my own schedule and adapt as needed. I currently don't offer visits/walks on weekends, but this might change. Consider me a perfect pick for your pet while you're away during the work week! Whatever you need! I am able to clean litter boxes, crate dogs, play in the yard with your pups, or inside with toys if that's preferred! I am also familiar with Kongs & other enrichment toys. Or if your buddy just needs a pet and a cuddle, I'm here for that too! I can also administer most oral medications. Please reach out with any questions!!
About: Worked as a vet assistant for 3 years at a vet office, medically caring for pets and assisting in surgery’s. Then worked for another 3 years at a doggy daycare, interacting and monitoring dogs or caring for the ones that were boarding. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I walk 3-5 miles a day, and would love to take your pup along with me. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, but kids that would love to have one to play with for a day or two. I have a large yard and live on a dead end street. I am always walking to get my miles in or outside with my kids.
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We moved here to Milford, Cincinnati from Hawaii. Ive taught them, and we all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals for 33 years after) taking care of puppies, adults and senior dogs (a pit bull, a Pekingese, Shih Tzu , then fostered a German Shepard, a Poodle, a black pup Lab), Taken cared of a Golden Retriever, a Pitbull, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around (I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need). Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-8 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, lunch, then around 3-4pm around/after dinner time , and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my child, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. I have taught my children not jump around,not rush, nor scare animals. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them. (Off leash free to run roam inside the house and I have a mini tread mill if outside walks and inside play is not enough). Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
“What a fantastic first booking we had with Debbie this week! She made a great first impression with our two pups, and we will be booking with her again!! Prompt, personality plus, and very reliable, she exceeded our expectations with our first Rover engagement. Highly recommend. Jack and Remi thank you for the walkies.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats but have also had reptiles as well. Animals are something I throughly enjoy being around and caring for. You can be assured that your animals will recieve the care and affection they need and deserve if you decide to book me for your pet sitting needs! I work full time 3rd shift so am available mostly during the day. Most weeks I work 4 days Monday through Thursday. With enough notice I can be available anytime. I provide a fun and safe environment for all of the animals I care for. I’m not in this app to just come to your house and provide basic needs (unless of course that’s all they need) . You can insure that your animals will get lots of affection and care. This app is a hobby for me and I do it because I love animals and enjoy helping others.
About: I have two dogs and love being around dogs. I enjoy going on walks and taking them on car rides. The best part of my day is being around my dogs and if i see a dog I want to just pet and love them all . I have saved one from a shelter and she is hyper and I take her on daily walks. My 5 year old has ear infections and give him the proper medicine by his vet and clean out his ears. Also I enjoy bathing dogs and just letting dogs be dogs. It's all about them not feeling alone and having someone there that loves them as much as their owners. I plan to give thar much love back to them I work at home and have a 12 year old son who loves meeting new friends. He also will play with the pups and like to run and they chase him and play I have safe places they can stay with me in my home and a safe park. All dogs are welcome in my car. I will give your dog unconditional love.
“Kristenne has been fantastic on her daily walks with Camo! She is friendly, attentive, caring, flexible, great with communication and quick to respond to messages on the Rover portal. We highly recommend her after our first week of service.”
About: For over 10 years, I had the privilege of caring for animals at a pet boarding resort. To build lasting relationships with families and their pets were a true joy. I was a loyal employee at Country Lane Pet Resort for so long, but after that, I was available to volunteer and help out where they needed me. I have so much experience when it comes to caring for and understanding what your pet/pets need. I look forward to getting to meet so many new fur friends. Thank you for your trust. I'm currently a stay at home mom to one daughter and am available for frequent drop in visits or long walks, playtime and as always, tender loving care! I will care for your pet in your home following all your requested wants and needs and to my fullest love and attention. Your furbaby will always be treated kindly and as if they were my own. Thank you for your trust.
About: I started doing this because I found it hard to find somewhere safe and loving for our dog to stay when we went out of town, and want to help other people! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands‑on pet‑sitting experience for family and friends, and a full, happy home of my own with two cats and one dog. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs, and even spent six years raising a chameleon — so I’m no stranger to unique routines or special care. Whether it’s keeping your pets active, cozy, or simply feeling loved while you’re away, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine affection to every visit. Your animals will be treated like part of my family. Our dog Yeti is very gentle and loves other dogs. I also can take care of your other pets - fish, birds, and reptiles! I’m currently a stay at home wife so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your fur baby. Yeti and I go on long daily walks and play fetch in the backyard. I can care for pets at our home or your home. At my home, I would only have one dog at a time. We have a fenced backyard. I would also love to drop into your home, and give your dog a walk or spend time your pet while you are away.

“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“Avery was AMAZING with our German Shepherd puppy Maverick! She kept us in the loop daily with pictures and texts. She took him on multiple walks a day, got him a pup cup, and even took him to PetSmart to pick out a new toy. If you’re looking for a sitter who will dedicate 100% of her time to your dog, Avery is the one!”
“Alycia is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Archie! 🐶 She is dependable, caring, and treats him like her own. I never have to worry when Archie is with her—he’s always happy, well cared for, and loved. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Alycia is there for him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Katie was flexible and accommodating. She was easy to communicate with, and she sent several pictures and updates. We will definitely contact her in the future if we need a sitter :)”
“Tricia watched my 2 cats for a week and a half. She wasn't just a sitter, she LOVED on the kitties and the kitties loved on her and her 2 sweet kids as well! Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”
“An amazing cabin getaway for our pups! Paula and Thom took wonderful care of our two pups! We know they got lots of cuddles and love while we were away. We trust they would take wonderful care of our dogs in the future! We would definitely return! Thank you!”
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“Lauren and Wynn are awesome. We have used them quite a few times now and they have been so patient with our always loving, high energy and somewhat mischievous pup!”
About: Hi! I’m Heather — a stay-at-home foster mom, runner, dog lover, and experienced foster/service dog handler based in Batavia, Ohio. After years in corporate recruiting, I’m finally leaning into a life that feels a little more like me — being home with our foster son, spending more time with dogs, being outside, going on walks, and building something slower and more meaningful here in Ohio. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped foster and raise more than 50 dogs over the years, including service dogs in training, and I’m also a certified volunteer through the Clermont County Animal Shelter where I walk dogs, take dogs on day trips, and foster here in Ohio. Before moving here, I also helped watch and walk dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and foster connections in Minnesota. I genuinely love all breeds and personalities and really enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. Since I’m home most of the day, dogs here get lots of supervision, outdoor time, enrichment, walks, naps, snuggles, and attention throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labs that love having dog friends around. I know how hard it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I’m big on communication and love sending lots of photo updates throughout their stay so you know they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, meals on their normal schedule, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m not away for long workdays, pets spend very little time alone and are part of our family’s daily activities. Safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labrador Retrievers who are used to having other dogs around. I’ve fostered and raised more than 50 dogs, including service dogs in training, and I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, crate schedules, medications, and introductions. Meet & greets are required before all new boarding stays so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit for both your dog and our home. I want every dog to feel safe, successful, and stress-free during their stay.
“Amazing family who took the best care of our 1.5yo dog! Felt so good about leaving our girl in their hands (and paws!) :) our Luna loved playing with sweet Murphy!”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“Had a wonderful experience with Matthew and Jill. They were very sweet and gave us great updates while we were boarding our two dogs. Would highly recommend!”
“Abbie was so great! She did a very thorough meet and greet with my dog and hers so make sure everyone got along before I left. She kept me very updated with pictures and videos which was much appreciated. Maui was well taken care of and loved, and left me with total peace of mind while traveling. Cannot recommend Abbie more, and will be using her again!”
“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!”
“I would recommend Stephanie and family! Stephanie provided day to day updates to keep me informed of Georgia's comfort level. While she has been timid around new people in the past, Georgia adapted well with this family. Thank you!”
