He was able to socialize with other dogs which was definitely a plus for me, she was also super sweet and professional. So happy to have found her ❤️”
“Michelle and Justin were wonderful! They took great care of Charlie Brown and sent photos and updates about how he was doing.

We will definitely reach out in the future when we need someone to watch our Charlie!”

Heck, we could see ourselves hanging out with them.”

“Jaime is great with Sully. She always makes sure he is well taken care of and informs me of anything out of the ordinary. He enjoys her company and the ways she engages him based on his comfort levels. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Rachel was amazing!! Saved the day for a last minute booking and over a holiday weekend. She took great care of my pet and could instantly tell she has a passion for animals. Highly recommend.”

Most importantly when we return we know he has been well cared for because of how he interacts with us. He has quality play time and stimulation. If you are thinking about booking Christi do it! You won't regret it!”
About: I’m a proud cat mom to four cats, so I know firsthand that every feline has their own personality, boundaries, and unique way of showing love. 🐾 One of my favorite things about cats is earning their trust. Cats don’t always warm up immediately—and I actually love that about them. I’m patient, observant, and happy to let your cat set the pace. Once they decide you’re okay, it feels like a pretty special honor. ❤️ I’ve cared for cats with different needs, including administering medication and providing dedicated care for a cat who was FeLV-positive (feline leukemia) until the end of his life. Whether your cat wants cuddles, playtime, conversation, or simply someone to quietly hang out with them, I’m happy to meet them where they are. And yes… I absolutely talk to my cats like they’re my best friends. 😹 So if your cat has a lot to say, I’m ready to listen! My goal is simple: keep your cat comfortable, cared for, and feeling safe in their own home while you’re away.
“Melanie was fantastic! She took great care of the kitties, sent us tons of photos, videos, and updates, and she went above and beyond with our house (she stripped the bed, washed the sheets and towels, and left the house looking spotless). I will definitely book with Melanie again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who's looking for a pet/house sitter for their next trip!”
“Had a last minute trip and Kateri was able to make things less stressful! She was great with communication and always sent me plenty of photos. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Always a friendly and professional experience when I book with Kam. I look forward to the next time I need her to ensure our cat is taken great care of in our absence. Well done.”
About: I’ve walked my relatives dogs for a a year until they moved away! 🥺❤️ I’m always looking out for the furballs in every way to make them comfortable. I’m currently a part time working college student, I’m available on Tuesdays only for now until my schedule changes T^T but I’m good with pets! Unfortunately I will not be taking boardings because I do not have the experience bringing them over to my own home, but I’ve had experiences in other friends’s homes. I give them a lot of attention.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Blacklick
“My dog had a great time with Jodi and her family! Clem felt right at home and received excellent care and attention. Communications from Jodi were prompt and frequent. I highly recommend her!”
About: UPDATES! Due to my Husbands career change, I will be the main person that will be caring for your animals. He will help if needed or if any dogs come to our home. My husband and I have a lifelong experience with dogs. We both grew up with dogs. I had a Golden Retriever and he had a Labrador Retriever. We have experience with all different types of pups! We are a team and work together to love and care for every dog we care for. We have dedicated ourselves to learning all about dogs, their social behaviors, and how to keep them happy and healthy. My goal is to one day become a professional dog trainer. I guarantee after a day with me and my pup your dog will be happy and tired. :) UPDATE! Our schedule has temporarily changed due to my husband getting a new job. We will still be available for boarding but drop ins and walking will have to be limited to weekday evenings and anytime during the weekend. This will be the case until summer! Someday I would love to care for dogs as my full time job but it’s going to take some time. 🥰 We have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence. We have a very energetic and friendly Golden Retriever to keep your dog company. We have 2 kids who are big animal lovers who will love and play with the dogs all day! I am trustworthy and will accommodate your dogs schedule and needs whether i have your dog for the day, walking them, or just dropping in to check on them.
“I am very pleased with Ariel’s care and attention to Jack and will be using her again. She and her family are Wonderful and Thor and True accept Jack like he is one of them, which he is!”
“Brian helped us out with short notice when we needed someone to watch our pup Hank for a few hours while we attended an event. He was an excellent communicator and sent so many cute pics! Hank went right to sleep after he got home as he was tired out from playing with his new friends and running around the fenced in yard. Highly recommend Brian. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Extremely reliable & so attentive to the needs of my dog and accommodating our busy life!! I’m endlessly grateful for her and her adorable daughter. They’re our number one go to for dog care in Ohio!!”
“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”
“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
“Sean has helped me raise my dog ( Oso) since he's been a pup! My husband and I work schedule changes and can be unpredictable but Sean has always been very flexible and treats Oso like family!”
“Travis is such an attentive and kind host for daycare for our dog Scarlett. We always feel comfortable sending her to him, and she always has a great time with him and his dog Ginger. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing care for their dog.”
About: There has never been a time in my life that I can’t remember not having a dog, I have owned many breeds, from a 2lb Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees, from puppies to seniors I enjoy them all. Hi there! I took a short break from Rover for a few months, but I’m excited to be back and accepting bookings again. I’m now home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a fenced backyard and three dogs to help keep your dog company. We have a built in doggie door so your dog will be able to go in and out as they want to, should they choose to use it.
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
“Jaz has been incredible with our big breed (95lb) puppy! She takes the time to get to know the dog and the dog's character so that she can cater to him accordingly. She has two wonderful sons that love up on my puppy and assist in their care. Her dog LuLu has been a wonderful playmate to our pup during his stay and we enjoy receiving photos throughout the stay. We definitely recommend Jaz's services. We just cannot sing her praises enough. Thank you Jaz and Sons!”
“Katherine took great care of my pup. She took her on a long walk and even to a stream. I really appreciate the attention and care she provided. Thank you, Katherine!”
About: As a former veterinary technician, I bring professional experience, genuine compassion, and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I offer personalized dog boarding, sitting, and basic training tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, prefers a quiet environment, needs extra patience, or simply loves some extra attention, I strive to make their time in my care feel like a home away from home. 🐾 With my veterinary background, I’m also comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be quite right, giving pet parents an added level of reassurance. My goal is more than simply watching your dog — it’s providing them with loving, attentive care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have many long term established clients that would love to reach out to you if you wish! I currently provide full-time dog boarding and training from my home, where caring for animals is what I love and do every day. My mornings start with my furry guests, and my days are centered around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 Every dog has their own unique personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I plan my days around each guest so I can provide personalized attention and care while also respecting the specific routines and preferences of my clients. While staying with me, every dog receives plenty of outdoor activity, exercise, playtime, and socialization, with opportunities to interact with myself and other dogs staying in my care. I also have a strong veterinary background from my previous experience as a veterinary technician, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when caring for dogs who require medications, special routines, or extra attention. Dogs with special medical or individual needs are always welcome, and I’m happy to work closely with their owners to make sure those needs are properly accommodated. My goal is to give every dog a comfortable, enriching home-away-from-home experience while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. ❤️🐶 When your dog is in my care, **their safety and well-being are always my top priority.** Dogs staying in my home are supervised throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, and I strive to provide an environment where they can feel comfortable, secure, and included. I have a spacious, beautiful backyard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play. Inside the home, I provide safe, appropriate toys and activities based on the individual dogs and the dynamics of the group staying with me at the time. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality, play style, size, and needs when deciding what activities and toys are appropriate. On the rare occasion that a dog needs to be left unattended for a short period of time, I offer **large, secure crates** for owners who prefer their dogs to be crated. If an owner prefers that their dog not be crated, I have a designated, dog-safe area of my home where they can relax comfortably and safely while I’m briefly away. In many cases, dogs are even able to **join me when I leave the house**, depending on the owner’s preferences and what is appropriate for their dog\. My own dog is with me nearly everywhere I go, so I’m happy to include boarding guests whenever possible\. Every stay is personalized to the owner’s wishes and their dog’s individual needs\. My goal is to make sure your dog feels like part of the family while you’re away — with plenty of attention, activity, supervision, and, of course, lots of love. 🐾❤️
“Clayton is the perfect sitter. Me and my family came to do a meet and greet. He introduced his dogs to my pup one by one, LOVED that. My pup has anxiety due to being a rescue so that was PERFECT. My pup is a big dog but he is extremely kind and friendly, he just doesn’t know his size so he can be a little rough with smaller animals unintentionally and Clayton was very understanding with that. I love that Clayton works in the veterinary field and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup with him. After the meet and greet AND his daycare stay my pup was EXHAUSTED. He got just what he needed, a day full of play and socializing. Thanks again Clayton and family! Blanco says he will see his daycare teachers soon! 🐾”

“Darren is wonderful!! From the first day he walked in my house, I knew this was going to work out. He has a kind, gentle nature about him and such a soothing tone to his voice. He is so patient with Sugar which is what she needs. Sugar fell in love with him instantly. So much she would anxiously await him at the window until he pulled in the drive. I knew he was someone I could trust her with. I’m glad I took the chance on this service. He is definitely one of a kind!”
“Patricia is absolutely wonderful! Always on time. Very patient. Great communicator—even sends photos of our guys with updates about the visits. They just love her! The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable.”
About: Hi I’m Izzy! I currently work at an animal hospital in kennel care. I’ve adopted/fostered 15 animals (dogs,cats,birds,etc) since I was 8 years old. I’ve petsit for friends, teachers, and close connections! Since I do have an animal working job, that does mean that I will have to work around that. Some days mornings work better, as others the day or evening. Yet I'm very flexible and communication can sort that out! I make sure that your cat/s is good with water, any food, medication (if needed) and double check before and after if there’s any cautions that he/she could get to. On top of that picture & video updates!

“Stephanie's warm, organized, and attentive demeanor was a treat for me and my dog alike! She went above and beyond to take care of Georgie- giving lots of attention, filling her finicky 'dinner ball', diligently sending pics/updates, and matching Georgie's vibe with opportunities to cuddle, rest, zoom or play as she needed. Responsible, warm, communicative- thank you so much Stephanie for taking GREAT care of our family!! I'll be rebooking soon💛”
“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”
