“Dawn was AMAZING with my dog, Ellie!!! She was so accommodating and sent great photos. My flight got delayed twice while I was in Florida, and Dawn was so understanding and responded to my messages immediately. She let Ellie stay an extra day and even let me pick her up late in the evening when my flight finally got in. Thanks so much for a great, stress-free trip, Dawn!!! Will definitely be booking with Dawn again!”
“Debbie was all that our girl, Rose needed and more! We were thrilled with the care that Debbie and hubby Randy provided for her. Rose is a rescue and used to being an "only child" and Debbie worked with us and our needs. Debbie was so kind to send us pics and videos while we were away showing that Rose loved her temporary home with Debbie and Randy and she can't wait to visit again when we are away for spring break! :) Thank you, Debbie!”
“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.”
“Josie had an excellent stay with Aparajita. I had received photo/video updates consistently each day during Josie’s stay. It was basically doggy vacation as there were other doggy friends for Josie to play with, along with plenty of yard space and she even got the splash pad out after finding out that Josie loves water. Aparajita was kind enough to give Josie a bath and wash the towels we sent along with her. Will definitely be booking again and I highly recommend booking with Aparajita!”
“We were very happy with Kim. She communicates really well and is great with dogs. We were using another sitter and we would get our dog returned a hot mess— but not with Kim. She is very kind, and caters to our dog’s needs and preferences to make their stay very easy and comfortable.”
“Our dog had a great time with Avery and her family over Christmas! We didn’t worry about a thing because we knew she was getting the best care. She also came back SMELLING like Christmas and Avery had gotten her some little treats as a gift. She will definitely be staying with Avery again in the future!”
“Chris took great care of our dog. He sent terrific photos each day and gave a report on how she was getting along. She went on walks and played with his daughters. We would be happy to use Chris again. Highly recommend him.”
“Simba had a great first night stay with Kiersten! He got along well with her 2 dogs and came hope nice and tired! Kiersten is super! She asked lots of questions and made sure she knew how Simba was and made sure I was comfortable with what she had planned while Simba was there. She sent pics throughout the day and treated him like her own! Simba will be going back next week for a longer stay as I know he will be happy at Kiersten’s!”
“Ainura did an EXCELLENT Job with my 3 Yorkies while I left out of the country to Dubai. I was updated daily with pictures on my dogs. This has been the best service provider I’ve received on here. Definitely will recommend and use again! ?????”
About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
“Lindsay took such wonderful care of our beloved "Bear." She regularly kept in touch with me, letting me know how Bear was doing, even including pictures. Our family trusts Lindsay with our pup and I know he's looking forward to his next time with her. Thanks so much Lindsay!”
“Brendan was absolutely great navigating our Payton. He has high anxiety but was through the roof as he had never stayed with a stranger before. He was patient and understanding. He kept in touch and sent pics.”
“Rosie was excellent! I can’t say thank you enough! She sent me photos almost every hour! She made sure my puppy was well! Great communicator! I would definitely come back to Rosie!”
“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!”
“The only regret we have is that Alycia and Scott are not available to watch Stanley ALL of the time! Stanley loves it there, they tolerate his puppy behavior and take wonderful care of him! Can't say enough good things about them!”
“Danielle and Jathan were absolutely wonderful. They have taken such good care of our babies while we were away. They sent pictures multiple times a day, took them on walks and shared hours of cuddles. Our babies had the best weekend get away. We would highly reccomend them as sitters!!”
“Barbara took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. Daily updates with pictures and video were awesome. Our dogs were cared for and loved as if they were part of her family. Will definitely use Barbara again when we travel!”
“We felt very confident having our 14 yr. old sheltie stay with Tasha and Joe. The day before we were to take her to their house, our dog developed bloody stools and required an emergency vet appt. Fortunately, she only required meds and Joe assured us he would give her the meds required and watch to see if any other issues appeared. They sent daily pics and updates. I was also gkad to know they had other dogs as I feel she enjoys the social interaction and helps her settle in better. She returns next week for another stay.”

“Paige was absolutely amazing with my two kittens while I was away on vacation. She kept me updated, made sure they were well cared for, and genuinely treated them like her own. What really stood out to me was how attentive she was she noticed right away that one of my kittens wasn’t feeling well and immediately let me know so I could get her to the vet. I’m so grateful for her care, communication, and attention to detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We love Katie! She’s better at giving our cat her inhaler than we are. She treats our cats like her own. We have such peace of mind knowing they are in amazing hands”
“Sarah has checked on our barn cats during two of our vacations. She is prompt with her replies and always sends photos. It speaks volumes that our often skittish barn cats are comfortable around her. ❤️”
“Sydney did a great job with my elderly cat. She did drop in visits to ensure he had food and water and she cleaned his litter box. I would recommend her and I will use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for people close to me. I’m comfortable taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for throughout every visit. Since it’s the summertime prior to the college season, I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention for your dogs, cats, and other small pets. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates while you’re away! I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if applicable), and any special care requests. I treat every home with respect, keep pets safe at all times, and provide regular updates and photos of your fur baby so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. :)
About: I have extensive professional experience caring for cats in both shelter and home settings, including fearful, undersocialized, and high-stress cats. My background includes reading feline body language, reducing stress during care, supporting cats through environmental changes, and providing individualized routines that respect each cat’s comfort level. I am experienced with shy, hiding, defensive, and overstimulated cats, and I prioritize low-stress handling, consent-based interaction, and predictable care. My approach focuses on creating a calm environment where cats feel safe, secure, and respected rather than forced into interaction.
About: I’ve been a cat owner. I understand behavior. Currently, I take care of local cats when their owners are out of town. They require high level of medical attention in regards to medicine and care. I’m able to care for cats on the simple level and maintain their daily cat life balance.
“Jennifer is the best. She went above and beyond to help arrange some last minute and additional care when we had a concern about our cats. She wasn’t even scheduled but jumped right in to help us. We appreciate her so much. And she is also great with our kitties and they love her!”
“Jon did an excellent job watching Duke. There was an incident where Duke got stung by a bee or got hot spot on his skin while I was out of town and Jon called me and handled the situation very well. I would definitely recommend using him and I know I will book him again.”
“Brody really loves animals and it shows. He will go the extra mile to care for your pets. We were gone for 2 weeks and he showed our cat extra love and attention. He took good care of our chickens and made sure they were fed and watered. I would recommend Brody to love and care for your animals.”
About: I've been around dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a love for animals. I have a dog of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. I've also cared for dogs for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'll treat every dog like they're part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I'm currently finishing my BSN through an online program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and many evenings, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I'm happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their schedules and make sure their pets receive the best care possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I strive to provide reliable, loving care that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I have 3 personal cats in my life . I also feed all the neighbors kittens near my house. I’m 23 currently and my family has had cats my entire life. I also worked with cats professionally at my first animal care job in 2021
About: We’ve always had cats around us as long as I remember, whether it being pets or taking care of strays. I always feel like cats are so unique and I love caring for them! I always want to make sure they feel loved and cared for no matter what. I’m especially good with keeping them clean and I’ll always remember the times they’re fed!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Blanchester
“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Sabrina and her family were awesome, they were so good to Oliver and I know he had a blast because he came home and immediately passed out for the rest of the night! I definitely recommend Sabrina for all your pup watching needs!”
“Amanda, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Winston! He's having the best time with you, and it's great to see him interacting with other dogs for the first time. I appreciate the love, care, and attention you're giving him. The pictures you send throughout the day are the best - they always put a smile on my face! Winston comes home happy, tired, and ready for a well-deserved rest. Thanks again for all that you do!”
“Erin was a terrific sitter for Jax! Her house was surprisingly clean for a pet owner / pet sitter! Jax was happy and exhausted at the end of the day and he made sure to give love to Erin before coming with me when I picked him up. I plan to use this sitter again!”
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 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 will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, 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 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, 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/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my kids, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. 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/cat/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 ***! 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!
About: Hi! My name is Alexa and I live in Lebanon with my Fiancé and 3 babies, Medusa, Beau, & Zeus. I have been devoted to animal care taking since a very young age. I grew up with mainly American Bullies, Pitbulls, & Frenchies so I have a deep understanding of their every need. But, I love all dogs as if they are my own! I can assure you that your pet will be in good hands with not only one, but two people in the house who work from home! They will be fed on a schedule just like my babies are, out to potty and for walks, play time with any toy they would like or they can even try the enrichment toys, bath time if they need one, and last but not least they can lay in their doggy bed or on my bed/couch! My fiancé and I currently work from home to be able to fit your pets schedule! With a commitment to you & your furry baby, my schedule is designed to fit their every need. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day treats, or even late night cuddles, I will accommodate their every need. You can be rest assured that your baby is in good hands in with pictures throughout the day and always being able to reach me whether that be a phone call or text message to my phone, I am always available to your every need! In my home, your dogs safety and trust mean the world to my fiancé and I. We have created a secure environment for you baby to feel like they are right at home. I am always available to both you & your pet at your every need. With staying in my home, they will always have a stress free environment to receive the love and attention they deserve.
About: I’m a dog owner and lover who treats every pet like part of the family. Our home is a peaceful, lakefront retreat where dogs get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Each dog will have their own private space and we have a puppy community areas indoors for the winter. Our backyard is not currently fenced but will be fully fenced in with a 6ft fence by March. We have 2 lovely dogs ourselves, a male mini Aussie and female puppy golden retriever. I’ve grown up around pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we provide a structured, nurturing environment with lots of supervision, play, and one-on-one attention. Your pup won’t just be boarded—they’ll be on vacation. From cozy private spaces to outdoor time and daily updates, we make sure every dog truly lives the good life while staying at our lakefront home. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Your dog will never be left alone or unattended in our home. My wife, our in-house assistant, and I work together to ensure dogs are seamlessly cared for throughout the day in a calm, structured environment. My wife is home full-time and is the primary caregiver during the day. She handles feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. Her background in childcare as a nanny translates perfectly into maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and providing patient, attentive care. Our in-house assistant is also home full-time and supports daily care by assisting with supervised play, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, meal prep, and individual check-ins. This allows us to keep our dog-to-human ratio low and give each pup personalized attention. I’m actively involved as well, helping with morning and evening routines, enrichment activities, and overall supervision. With multiple adults present at all times, dogs are rotated through play, rest, and care schedules so no pup is ever overwhelmed or overlooked. Because we are always home, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of affection—just like they would with their own family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We’ve intentionally created a calm, structured environment where dogs are closely supervised and cared for at all times. Our home is never unattended—my wife, our in-house assistant, and I are always present, ensuring constant supervision throughout the day and night. Dogs are cared for in a controlled setting with private, comfortable spaces to rest and decompress, helping reduce stress and overstimulation. We maintain strict cleanliness and safety standards, including regular sanitizing of all dog areas, food and water bowls, and shared spaces. We follow each dog’s individual care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to potty routines and any special needs. We are selective about the dogs we accept to ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone. This allows us to maintain a low dog-to-human ratio, closely monitor behavior, and give each pup the attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Our goal is to create a trusted home-away-from-home where you can travel confidently knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in great hands.
About: I have experience taking care of friends' dogs and my own dog, giving her oral medications and in food, walking them among others. I enjoy the experience a lot, to be able to meet new pets and their owners. I work from home, so I am available during the day to give your doggie attention, take your dog for a walk, feed and of course give your doggie a lot of love. I know very well what it's like to be away from your beloved doggie and how much you miss them when they're not by your side. That's why I assure you of frequent, daily updates on your doggie so you can have peace of mind knowing how they are and what they're doing each day. Being home all day allows me to guarantee that your doggie will always be accompanied and well cared for. They will be able to go outside to pee frequently, will have their meals on time, and will get their daily walk if they enjoy physical activity. I always keep a close eye on the dogs I'm caring for and always take them outside on a leash. If your dog takes any oral medication or vitamins, please feel free to bring them so I can administer them. Just send me the instructions in writing before the day you drop them off. If your dog has any favorite toys, treats, or long-lasting chews that they're used to having, it would be great if you brought them so they feel even happier. My priority is that your doggie feels comfortable and happy, and they will receive plenty of belly rubs and love.
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.
“Tim and Kasia were amazing with our Oliver! We were nervous to leave him for the first time since adopting him, he’s goes to work with us every day and he rides with us nearly everywhere but our daughters play sports and we have long weekend days away from home. They sent videos of him running around with the other dogs playing and having a blast, which was great to see because he’s a total couch potato at home. When my husband picked him up he acted like he didn’t want to leave which is out of character for Oliver because he’s usually glued to us 24/7! He loved being there and they will be our first choice whenever we need care for Oliver.”
About: I've always had a special connection with animals and genuinely enjoy being around them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends and have always enjoyed getting to know their unique personalities. One of my favorite things about working with dogs is teaching them fun tricks and basic commands. I've successfully taught dogs to sit, stay, roll over, and beg. Once, I even taught my dog to walk backwards on two legs 🤭 I love seeing them learn and gain confidence through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I'm also someone who loves being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need is something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for a member of your family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly home with family members who also love animals, along with a friendly Golden Retriever and my cat. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because every pet has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to help them feel secure and adjust at their own pace. We have a spacious backyard and deck area, and I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I'll always follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care your pet may need so they receive the same love and attention they're used to at home.
About: I have been helping care for dogs since I was 10. I grew up with Dalmatians, dachshunds, black labs and Dobermans. To say I love dogs is an understatement. Our dachshund (16) recently passed away and my daughters and him were best friends! I am not ready to have a dog back in the house full time but have realized, after dog sitting for a friends and family’s dogs, this would be a great way to help care for others pets. My husband and I work from home so letting the dog out is no problem for us. While we do not have a fenced in yard, we do have a lead to let them out on and take frequent walks. We love to take dogs on hikes in the bike trails behind our house. Working from home enables us to make sure your doggy is well taken care of and loved on. We love walking dogs and playing fetch.
“Avery is very warm and friendly, a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our dog! . I felt our dog was in great hands and was very relaxed and happy. She is very responsible and communicates well.”
About: We've had dogs our whole lives and love the joy they bring us. We've been pet sitting on and off for the last 3 years and would love the chance to take care of your family member! Jathan works from home every day and Dani's office is dog-friendly and we have some flexibility between the two of us to both do work from home days. If your pup absolutely has to have someone there at all times or has medication needs, we can also rearrange schedules to have both of us work from home, or bring them along to the office! We have a patio dog door, allowing dogs to spend time inside if they wish or to let themselves outside to sunbathe, chase squirrels or burn off any energy if home alone. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard that everyone always has access to. In the summer we try to spend a lot of time back there relaxing, chasing bubbles and throwing the ball. We do have a hairless cat who typically stays in my sister's bedroom under the blankets. We make sure she has her safe space by not allowing even our dogs free access to her room and when we have new doggie friends, we typically put up an extra gate in the hall just to make sure everyone has their space.
About: Life is better with dogs—and my English Bulldog, Dolly agrees! I'm a retired, lifelong dog lover and owner with 6 years of experience caring for dogs for family and friends. I offer boarding at your place (possibly with my dog, Dolly tagging along, if you are OK with it), dog walking, feeding visits, and playtime visits, all with lots of love and attention for you fur baby! I have always had dogs in my life, many reaching senior age and even a couple with medical issues, but all have been well cared for and loved beyond measure. As I said before, life truly is better with dogs! As a retired teacher and dog lover, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to dedicate to dog sitting, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to be available most days and times, ensuring your pup receives the best attention and care possible. When caring for dogs at your location, I always provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel safe and receive plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and walks. It is my goal that your dog feels relaxed and happy under my care, and I will do my very best to make sure of that! Since I'm retired with a very flexible schedule, your dog will not be left alone for extended periods and we will enjoy plenty of companionship throughout the day. My English Bulldog, Dolly, is friendly, easygoing, well-behaved and gets along well with all other dogs. She enjoys having a playmate, is always happy to make a new friend, and she sleeps a lot! lol! If possible, I love to have her join us when I am sitting for other dogs. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and provide owners with peace of mind knowing their fur baby is in loving hands.

About: My furbabies are extremely important to me, so I understand how important they must be to you! We currently have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and a rabbit. I have had dogs for 25 years and cats for my entire life. I have fostered over 50 cats in the last ten years, and I have fostered, boarded, and cared for many dogs besides my own. I also have experience with a slew of other animals, including ferrets, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, fish, and horses. I am currently waiting for my Master's in Social Work program to start again, so I have too much free time on my hands. I would love to use it to meet your pets! I enjoy working with animals to give them the enrichment they want to have so they can be the happiest they can possibly be in whatever environment they're in. Visits will always include lots of affection and playtime, with a little training slipped into their games.
About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years now. My passion for animals boosted in 2013 when I started helping a nonprofit animal rescue. Since then I have fostered animals, became a pet sitter for past fosters and worked in animal care. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Cincinnati, but have flexibility throughout the day to provide the best care for your babies. I am available most weekends as well. I will treat your pet with the respect and love they deserve. I provide care at the pace your furry friend is comfortable with, to ensure they have the best care possible. I have experience in working with all sorts of different personalities from anxious and nervous to happy-go-lucky. I stride to treat each pet like they are my own and provide them with the care to put your worries to ease.

When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I strive to provide reliable, loving care that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.
About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.

Your pets will be loved the same that my own are. I am a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule. I can often adjust my schedule to suit my clients' needs. Communicate your preferences, and we can find a schedule that best accommodates both of us. I will be sure to follow your instructions on caring for your pets. The safety and happiness of your pets are our priority. We are here for you!

When caring for dogs at your location, I always provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel safe and receive plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and walks.

Since I'm retired with a very flexible schedule, your dog will not be left alone for extended periods and we will enjoy plenty of companionship throughout the day.

“Josie had an excellent stay with Aparajita. I had received photo/video updates consistently each day during Josie’s stay. It was basically doggy vacation as there were other doggy friends for Josie to play with, along with plenty of yard space and she even got the splash pad out after finding out that Josie loves water. Aparajita was kind enough to give Josie a bath and wash the towels we sent along with her. Will definitely be booking again and I highly recommend booking with Aparajita!”
“Our dog had a great time with Avery and her family over Christmas! We didn’t worry about a thing because we knew she was getting the best care. She also came back SMELLING like Christmas and Avery had gotten her some little treats as a gift. She will definitely be staying with Avery again in the future!”
“Simba had a great first night stay with Kiersten! He got along well with her 2 dogs and came hope nice and tired! Kiersten is super! She asked lots of questions and made sure she knew how Simba was and made sure I was comfortable with what she had planned while Simba was there. She sent pics throughout the day and treated him like her own! Simba will be going back next week for a longer stay as I know he will be happy at Kiersten’s!”
About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
“The only regret we have is that Alycia and Scott are not available to watch Stanley ALL of the time! Stanley loves it there, they tolerate his puppy behavior and take wonderful care of him! Can't say enough good things about them!”
“Barbara took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. Daily updates with pictures and video were awesome. Our dogs were cared for and loved as if they were part of her family. Will definitely use Barbara again when we travel!”
“We felt very confident having our 14 yr. old sheltie stay with Tasha and Joe. The day before we were to take her to their house, our dog developed bloody stools and required an emergency vet appt. Fortunately, she only required meds and Joe assured us he would give her the meds required and watch to see if any other issues appeared. They sent daily pics and updates. I was also gkad to know they had other dogs as I feel she enjoys the social interaction and helps her settle in better. She returns next week for another stay.”
“I highly recommend Sabrina. She kept our Chesapeake Bay retriever for five days while we attended a funeral. Her home is very nice; her dog runs are covered; and she has artificial grass in the runs, which are adjacent to the house so she can observe them. She has two huge yard areas for dogs to run and play. Most of all, she let our dog inside and treated her as part of her family. My dog was not stressed when she stayed there. Sabrina did not use crates, which is extremely important to me. She followed my dog’s feeding instructions and answered any questions that we had.”
“Absolutely perfect with my senior dog. Kept me updated on everything. Sent pictures when asked. And even smoothed over my overthinking of her stay. Nicole will make sure your family member is safe while you are away. Will be using her when needed in the future.”
“Easy to deal with and great communication. The chill atmosphere made it easy for our Mac to transition and hang for a couple days. Will DEFINITELY look to Kathleen & Dave to host Mac again.”
“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“I was super nervous to leave my dog when going on vacation with my family as she was spayed a few days before and I wasn’t sure how she would be. Katie and her family loved BiBi like their own and my mind was at ease after the first day she sent me pictures and gave me an update. BiBi seemed to really enjoy her time with Katie and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous to leave their dog.”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“This is the first time when we sent our dog Coco to a sitter for care. Luckily, it turned out to be a great experience for both us and our dog. Karla and her husband Dave took great care of Coco. Every time when I received a photo from Karla, seeing Coco comfortably lying on the couch next to either Karla or Dave, I knew Coco had been cared and loved. We really appreciate that Karla send us photos and short videos every day when we were at California for ten days. Karla's home is very clean and spacious, which allows Coco to circle around with other dog friends. In a summary, we definitely will send Coco back to Karla for care when needed.”
“It was our first time using Rover and Wynn did an excellent job making sure our pup Saint was comfortable as well as being great with communication. The photo updates were definitely a plus ! Would definitely book again in the future !”
“Amanda was great with our dog while we were OOT. Sent updates and took pictures daily. Took him on long walks daily so he could get out his puppy energy ? would definitely recommend”
