“Kristi was great as a boarder. She sent a video of our girl, and our girl was happy and contented. Timing was very easy as we encountered delays and Kristi was very flexible and understanding. 5 stars all around!”
“Paige is awesome! Sent daily updates with photos and took great care of our dog. Our dog also has a fussy diet and a last-minute medication added and Paige handled it all fantastically. Highly recommend!”
“Ashlyn was very attentive to my dog and very accommodating. My puppy felt comfortable with her. She has a fenced doggy park in her complex so it’s very safe. She updated me and was quickly responsive. I would definitely use her services again. My puppy is high energy and by the time I picked her up she was happy to see me and went straight to bed. I recommend Ashlyn since she’s on top of what your dog needs. Especially love and care.”
“Brandi is EXCELLENT!!!! I cannot say enough about her. She gave me updates about my furbaby without asking putting my mind at ease. Oakley was definitely in good hands while I was away.”
“Bill was great, we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with him for the week. He was able to give our dog his medication, took him on daily walks, and gave him lots of love and attention!”
“Lydia is absolutely amazing! Her home is clean, welcoming and was ready to board our dog overnight. We really appreciate her and our dog returned home happy! We will be using Lydia from now on.”
“Amazing as always! The stories we hear about our Gingers stay are ones that happen at home so we know she feels at home with Christine and the family. Look no further if you're looking for a sitter you can trust unequivocally”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“Karen was great with my dogs. We will definitely be coming back. She sent pictures the whole time they were with her and kept in constant communication. She was great and we will definitely be using her services.”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Kristen did an excellent job, and I highly recommend her. I was a little hesitant at first because of the pricing, but once I realized what was included, it made complete sense. Her setup is on a large piece of land that has clearly been customized specifically for pets. There are multiple fenced-in areas where dogs can safely run freely, and it gave me a lot of peace knowing my dog had space, structure, and proper care. Her communication could not have been better. Every time I texted her, she responded within minutes and fully addressed whatever concern I had. I also noticed a real difference in my dog after coming home. Before the stay, my dog would just come up to me and act excited when she needed to go outside. Now she actually cries to be let out, which is much easier to understand. She also seems to pull a lot less when I take her outside, so it honestly feels like some obedience training happened during the stay too. The kennel is climate controlled, the property is very well set up, and Kristen clearly cares about the dogs she watches. She even gave my dog special treats like pup cups with peanut butter and whipped cream. I was honestly worried my dog might not want to come home. If you want to leave your dog somewhere and not have to worry the whole time, this is the place.”
“Michelle is an amazing and caring dog sitter. She worked with me as my dates changed which helped me a great deal. She's also well knowledgeable about dog's behavior. I will hire her again for my dog, Josie.”
“Jeanie was wonderful with our cockapoo Lily, who has a lot of anxiety, when she took care of her for 4 days. Jeanie even did her errands ahead of time so she wouldn't have to leave Lily alone. She went beyond the call of duty! Thank you so much Jeanie!”

“Nicole was extremely patient with my adult cat who isnt used to a pet sitter. I especially appreciated her detailed comments and many daily photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a kind, communicative and thorough sitter for your fur babies.”
“Taylor was so great! She came right at the times requested which I really appreciated as he is a puppy and I don’t like to leave him crated for long. I loved the picture updates and knew he was in great hands! I love that she played with him too. 🙂 That was a long day for Ruger but was calm and happy when everyone got home. We will definitely have Taylor back again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, I have grown up having them as pets my whole life - also have many years of experience with animals as I have worked as a kennel worker at a vet clinic in the past, working with all ages and sizes of pups! I am currently working part-time (3 sometimes 4 days a week) if I’m working I’m only gone for 5-6 hours leaving in the morning and being back in the afternoon I will try to be as flexible as possible with pickup and drop off times but if your pick up/ drop off times aren’t flexible then I may not be able to work around them! I have a big yard for your pups to play in and to make sure they get plenty of exercise, I can also crate your pup if needed.
“Kaitlyn was excellent! While watching our cat, Kovu, she sent lots of pictures and kept us informed throughout his stay. We were able to relax knowing she was taking great care of him. Would definitely use her again!”
“Anthony was great and very responsible. He got along really well with my cat and made me feel comfortable leaving her in his care. Before the drop-in visits started, he even suggested meeting in person so I could go over the basic instructions with him. Over the next three days, he did a great job taking care of everything—playing with my cat, cleaning the litter box, and making sure she was fed. I really appreciated how reliable and attentive he was, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.”
“I’ve used Ashley a couple times now to check in on my cat while I’m out of town and she always lets me know when she’s on her way and sends pictures afterwards! She rocks and I will continue to book drop in visits with Ashley in the future.”
About: I've found that a lot of people don't understand cats, let alone understand each cat as an individual. I want to ensure that I give your cat the space to introduce themselves on their own terms, and I want them to feel safe, secure, and comfortable around me so that I may provide the love and attention they deserve!
About: I would love to check in on your sweet cat. I love animals and will do everything to ensure they are well taken care of, have water, have enrichment, and don't feel alone while you are busy!
“This was our second time having Britany watch our kittens. She is an amazing young lady. She treats our four cats as if they are her own. They all have such different personalities and yet she makes sure to spend time with each one to ensure they get what they need. She takes pictures and sends notes to me, so I know how they are all doing. Britany is prompt, responsible and so caring. We appreciate all she does while she watches over our fur babies. Thank you again Britany!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong focus on cats and kittens and my ability to create a calm, low-stress environment that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, and much of that experience has been with cats of all personalities—from shy and independent to playful and social. I have experience caring for kittens who need extra attention, including help with litter training, establishing routines, and providing safe, engaging play to support healthy development. I’m also comfortable caring for adult and senior cats, including administering basic medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, and making adjustments to keep them comfortable as they age. I understand that cats can be sensitive to change, so I prioritize keeping their routines consistent, respecting their boundaries, and earning their trust at their own pace. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and subtle changes in behavior that could signal stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your cat is doing. My goal is to make sure your cat feels secure, cared for, and relaxed while you’re away—just like you never left.
“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”
“Ashlyn was great! I booked her for a first time booking for 3x check ins. Both of my cats, even my shy boy who doesn’t typically like new people, came out to see her. She sent lots of photos and communication was great. Would book her again if she’s available next time I travel!”
“Lillian is super friendly and kind, and Stuart loves her which is so important! She's definitely a great animal person and it's such a huge relief to have somebody so nice to check in on the little guy while we're out of town. I'm sure he appreciated her visit as much as we did! She's very communicative and sent us a bunch of pictures as well. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
About: I have always had at least one dog in my home ever since I can remember. My parents kept me and my siblings responsible for them as far as feedings, exercise, and attention. My grandmother owns a grooming shop that I have loved to help with. I have also had experience helping in a dog kennel and taking care of cats. I also participated in training my 100+ lb. male golden doodle (who was too smart for his own good but has now passed sadly). I have always had a love for animals, dogs especially since they have been a big part of my life, I have spent a lot of time also at my grandparent’s farm helping with goats and horses as well. Currently I have my own sweet little kitty.

About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2025 started year five of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. For boarding and daycare we are located on 30 acres in Tipp City, with 6 private fully fenced dog parks to choose from. We have 10 kennels, and pups are kenneled during enrichment and overnight with an on-site team member who stays with them. Disney Channel + YouTube classical music plays while pups rest in their kennels between private park playtime and playgroup. You can find out more information by looking at Blockheads and Bows Pet Services LLC online! Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.
“Kayla was awesome! My dogs are very “needy” (lol) and require a lot of time and attention. I needed a day where I could just solely focus on work and getting things done. Also, they hadn’t had a bath or groomed in awhile and their fur was starting to get matted so thought I’d get that done also. I messaged Kayla asking if she was available that week to watch them/bath & brush them. She offered to take them immediately that day! She was very nice when I met her and made me feel comfortable. She took so much care and time with grooming them while also making sure they were comfortable to make sure that she got all the matts out that she actually kept them until 9pm with no extra charge. She also kept me updated every step of the way. My boys came home so soft and clean and I could also tell she tired them out because they both came home and went straight to sleep. She sent me lots of photos of them playing which made me happy to know that they had a great time!”
About: I have had a dog since I was born! I have been around dog breeds from bassets to Belgian Malinois. I has cared for all kinds of animals from fish to horses! I have helped my mom who was a humane agent so medication administration is not an issue and I won’t charge extra for it! I currently only have a part time job with minimal hours so I have a very open availability. I hope to be able to give your pets all the love and attention I can! I am willing to walk your pups or your cat. I can administer medication as needed as well. I can house sit and will clean your house as well if needed.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I love animals and have pet sat for friends and family in their home so as not to stress out their animals. I am happy to either pet sit at your home or take care of your pet at mine. Either way, they will get excellent care. I work from home so I have the ability to work from anywhere as long as there is Wi-Fi. My work schedule is also fairly flexible if need be. I have a fenced in yard and a loving pup who would welcome a playmate. I also can sit in your home as I work from home.
“Lisa was kind enough to help me when I needed a last minute sitter for my puppy. I got updates throughout my work day and pictures showing my Cider being loved and cared for. I was nervous using this service for a non housebroken pup but Lisa took care to give her breaks outside and show her to pee pads. I can’t thank her enough!!!”
“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”
“Just wanted to thank Michelle and her husband for watching our dog Maggie for 2 days on short notice after a death in our family. Maggie is a recent rescue who does have some separation anxiety. Michelle and her husband were very caring and accommodating. They have a beautiful yard with nice fenced in area for the dogs. She is very knowledgeable in animal care. Michelle kept me updated on how Maggie was doing. Maggie seemed to be very happy when I picked her up. She really liked Michelle's husband who has calm and soft spoken disposition. Than you again Michelle!”
About: My husband and I both love animals and have grown up with them all of our lives! We both work remotely and have been watching family and friends pets while on vacation or out of town for the last year or so! We have an acre lot (not fenced in) but plenty of room for us to play and walk around during the day. Help get them zoomies out :) We don’t currently have any pets, so we would enjoy have the company during the workday! We both work remotely and can take care of your pets around the clock. We mostly stay at home with our 2 year old, so available most weekends as well! We have a large (unfenced) yard where we can both go outside and play! All dogs would be leashed and supervised while outside. We are comfortable with providing medicine to your pets, as we have done with our own dogs in the past.
“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”
“Pam has been such a blessing for our family! She is highly responsive and we never worry one second while they are in her care! Our dogs ears perk up when we say “Do you want to go see Ms. Pam?” Having her in our community is a real asset!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“Mollie was wonderful with our 6mo old Bullmastiff puppy! We were passing through during a road trip. We wanted a day to go to a museum, and our puppy needed a day of good exercise. Our dog had a great day with Mollie, her hubby, and their dogs. We are so grateful we found her and highly recommend her!”

About: Started working with dogs when I was in my early twenties. I stated out as a dog bather and pet care at Petsmart. I then started spending my free time at Sunrise Sanctuary taking care of their rescued livestock. The job that taught me so much was being a dog warden. I learned how to handle emergency calls but also took care of the dogs at the shelter. I work a fun and open schedule so I have more flexibility on dog or cat sitting time frame. My dogs wake me up bright and early at 5am and going to bed around 10pm. So I’m able to check in on dogs within that big time frame. I have a 6 foot wooden privacy fence that I will allow my dogs to go outside in for potty breaks to the dogs playing in the puppy pool. Dogs will not unattended while in the yard.
“Taylor has been fantastic. We have used her for the past couple weeks with no problems. Great communication and I know the dogs love seeing her when she comes. We will continue to use her as long as she continues to want to help us. Thank you Taylor.”
About: I have had experience with many different kinds of animals throughout my life. I have had rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, birds, dogs, and cats! Animals have a very special place in my heart and I know how to tend to any particular needs they may have. I am starting Dental Hygiene school in August! So, I will have a college schedule which makes it really easy to fit pet care into my every day schedule. My service includes caring for pets in my client’s home. I make sure that they feel comfortable with having a stranger in their home. I am gentle and make sure that the animals are not subjected to a lot of stress with me being there. I also make sure that my client’s home is still well-kept while they are away. Lastly, I make sure that the animals are given all the care that they need.
“Ashley is an amazing person! She does a wonderful job with my 2 dogs and is very dependable. I know my dogs will have their walk and they love her. She is very communicative and accommodating as well. Always letting us know of any delays or upcoming changes in schedule. We really appreciate her and are glad she is our dog walker.”
About: For me, caring for animals is a lifelong calling that started at age 10. My deep involvement with nature has shaped my consciousness to view animals as living beings who deserve the same respect and care that humans do. This philosophy drives my approach as a sitter, whether I am implementing structured house-training routines for young dogs and kittens or managing the specialized needs of senior animals. I truly believe humanity's history is deeply intertwined with learning from and adapting to the animal world. I bring that foundational respect into your home, ensuring your pets feel completely understood, safe, and loved according to their unique personalities and attentiveness they deserve as living, feeling members of your family. I work full time with Lyft so I will have plenty of time to entertain your pup, dog, kitten or cat. Lets us have fun I'm in their world. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your pet's environment safe, predictable, and clean. To build trust, I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, locking up, and household boundaries. I thoroughly scan spaces for hidden hazards like loose cords or choking risks before letting pets roam. During our time together, I mirror their established daily routines to minimize stress and keep them feeling secure. I also send regular photo updates and transparent messages so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

I am willing to walk your pups or your cat. I can administer medication as needed as well. I can house sit and will clean your house as well if needed.
About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.
About: I have taken care of and been around animals for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of, feed, and play with their pets. I have been on rover since the beginning of June 2025 and have had many successful stays with multiple clients and their wonderful pets! I always put the animals needs before my own and make sure the animal is comfortable and content at all times! I am currently a full time student. I go to school in Richmond Indiana. My longest day at school is on Tuesday and I am there for about 6 hours. On Wednesdays I am at school for about 5 hours. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am at school for about 2 hours. I will devote the majority of my time to your pets aside from having to leave them to go to school for a few hours during the day. When I get back from school, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and feel loved by playing and getting their energy out or by cuddling if that’s what they prefer:) I will care for your pet in your home with any and all instructions you give me. I will be willing to clean up any messes that are made. I will feed, bathe, and cuddle your pets! I will make sure they have enough water and always take them outside for potty breaks!
About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.
About: I have experience with behavior modification training, off leash training, large breeds, and will build relationship/rapport with families. I am trustworthy and reliable. Breeds I have owned; Husky, Lab, Kangal, German shepherd, and breeds I have worked with: rottweiler, akita, Shih tzu, German short hair, Great Dane, Labrador Retrievers, Doberman Pincher, Labradoodle, Golden doodle, Corgi I offer "daystays", which are extended versions of Drop-Ins. I am available for "drive-bys", that is emergency, or on call drop offs. I provide paw prints, (photos) and always have "Rufferences" for clients that require personal assurances. My 5 star timeshare for Staycations (boarding)is opportunity to save cost and book in advance. I work and I'm a homeschool educator however I have no issues with adjusting my schedule to care for pets and am available to communicate with every day In home dogs sleep in our room unless crated, and eat table scraps when we aren't fast enough, we let the, free roam the house once potty routine is established and that time frame depends on dog. We don't allow dogs on furniture but cover the furniture for animals trained that way to reduce stress on trying to keep them down. In your home, routine is maintained and extra treats given, time outside is always encouraged for high energy and down time is enforced when bad behavior is being modified
About: I've had & taken care of cats & dogs since I was 7 years old! Over the past 5 years I've moved into caring for the pets of other's just as a favor to friends & family. Now I want to leave corporate America & care for furry family members professionally. I'm currently working on making pet sitting my full time job so my availability is completely open for around the clock care whether your pet is an early riser or a night owl! I prefer to care for pets in their own space as I have roommates at this time & our landlord doesn't allow pets on property.
About: I grew up working at a farm. We had many dogs, cats, and barn animals as well as guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, birds, and fish. Throughout my life I have shadowed multiple veterinarians, volunteered at rescues, and cared for many other people’s animals and kids! I have attended college for Equestrian Studies too. Caring for animals has always been my greatest passion and I can’t wait to put it to good use by helping you and your animal out when the time calls! Caring for animals is my passions and therefore my full time job. I work a little online from home as well but never when it is taking time away from pet care. Away from home care: In my home I usually have other animals so, if you need care outside your home your pet must be potty trained, vaccinated and good with cats and dogs. We have leads for dogs outside and a large yard. No kennels provided, if you’d like your dog in a kennel, call a boarding facility. Your animal would be staying in a clean and safe bedroom/bathroom area with 24/7 supervision as well as a comfortable bed that is changed after every pet’s stay. They will be taken outside for at least 30 minutes, 4 times a day. You will need to provide food for your pet. In Home Care: If providing in home care for your pet all services are provided from walking and playtime to feeding and training. I also give bathes and brushing. Lots of love is of course always a part of my services as well. The schedule of it is up to you! I can do drop in visits any day of the week but only house sit on the weekend (Fri-Sun). I like to make sure I have plenty of time to spend with my own animals while also serving you. *Care In My Home* If you provide a crate and want me to use it I will but I usually just have your pet hang out with me around the house - it is all pet proof as I have many cats and a dog. If your pet doesn’t like other animals they are welcome to stay in my bedroom as a safe haven. I will be sure to hang out with them lots throughout the day if they are in there. I have a large fenced in backyard and leads for dogs. They are always supervised while outside. I only serve one pet family at a time so your animals won’t be exposed to any other animals other than my own. I do not provide care in my home to cats. *Care In Your Home* I will be with your pet for at least 2 hours at a time twice a day in addition to the evening and morning (10pm-10am) full time. I can bathe, brush, train, walk, and give lots of love at no extra charge!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, ranging from 10+ cats, little shi tzus and Pomeranians, and up to a 130+ lb Rottweiler! I love animals of all sorts, and caring for them is my true passion. I believe pets are the most precious companions people can have, so they should have the love as possible to accommodate that ! I am currently in college, and I do not have a technical job, though I sometimes do grocery delivery orders, I usually spend my time studying. I have a shi-tzu who is super playful and sweet, I do not have a yard but there is a huge field next to my home where I take my dog to go potty.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds and ages since I can remember. We had cats growing up and they were the light of my life. Every day I looked forward to coming home and knowing they would be there waiting for me to give them all the love. Starting in high school is when I began to get familiar with dogs as well. Neighbors, friends, and family have all taught me so much and then began relying on me to love and care for their fur babies. Which included anywhere from walking, feeding, grooming, and overall well-being. I've done quite a bit of house sitting recently and have no problem with cleaning when needed as well. I can promise you that your fur babies will be treated as if they are my own. Animals have a special place in my heart, they become more than pets, they become family and I intend to treat and care for them as such. I will be starting classes again soon, which are online so pet care fits perfectly into my daily/weekly routine. I'll be able to create a schedule that works well for school and being able to give the best attention I can to pet care. Currently I am able to care for pets at the client's home if it is for dogs. For cats special arrangements can be made for me to watch them here at my home. I have quite a bit of experience with house/pet sitting for current clients. Starting with a visit to the clients home to go over anything they would like to discuss, meeting the pets, and I also bring some questions of my own. To make sure I have all my bases covered. My main goal is to make sure the clients feel safe with me taking care of not only their pets but also their home. For cats here I have plenty of room for a cat to roam and play with plenty of sunlight and a cat box and food/water bowls if the client does not want to transport their own. We do have an older husky (incredibly friendly and quiet), but my room is on the second floor and has a door that I can shut to keep the downstairs (where our dog spends 99% of his time) closed off if your cat does not like dogs.
About: I have always had at least one dog in my home ever since I can remember. My parents kept me and my siblings responsible for them as far as feedings, exercise, and attention. My grandmother owns a grooming shop that I have loved to help with. I have also had experience helping in a dog kennel and taking care of cats. I also participated in training my 100+ lb. male golden doodle (who was too smart for his own good but has now passed sadly). I have always had a love for animals, dogs especially since they have been a big part of my life, I have spent a lot of time also at my grandparent’s farm helping with goats and horses as well. Currently I have my own sweet little kitty.
About: Hi!! I have been watching animals / babysitting kids for practically my whole life. I currently have a 7 year old Daschund who I love with all my heart. I will always ensure your baby is safe! (I usually find our clients and then do all the talking away from rover) I am a part time student pursuing a degree in dental hygiene. I don’t work so I’m free all day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I also have time on Tuesday and Thursday every few hours because of my classes. Also my weekends are always free. When I’m in your home I will follow all your rules and treat your home and pets as if they were mine. I will respect you and make sure your pets are well taken care of.
About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.

“Kristi was great as a boarder. She sent a video of our girl, and our girl was happy and contented. Timing was very easy as we encountered delays and Kristi was very flexible and understanding. 5 stars all around!”
“Paige is awesome! Sent daily updates with photos and took great care of our dog. Our dog also has a fussy diet and a last-minute medication added and Paige handled it all fantastically. Highly recommend!”
“Ashlyn was very attentive to my dog and very accommodating. My puppy felt comfortable with her. She has a fenced doggy park in her complex so it’s very safe. She updated me and was quickly responsive. I would definitely use her services again. My puppy is high energy and by the time I picked her up she was happy to see me and went straight to bed. I recommend Ashlyn since she’s on top of what your dog needs. Especially love and care.”
“Brandi is EXCELLENT!!!! I cannot say enough about her. She gave me updates about my furbaby without asking putting my mind at ease. Oakley was definitely in good hands while I was away.”
“Lydia is absolutely amazing! Her home is clean, welcoming and was ready to board our dog overnight. We really appreciate her and our dog returned home happy! We will be using Lydia from now on.”
“Amazing as always! The stories we hear about our Gingers stay are ones that happen at home so we know she feels at home with Christine and the family. Look no further if you're looking for a sitter you can trust unequivocally”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“Karen was great with my dogs. We will definitely be coming back. She sent pictures the whole time they were with her and kept in constant communication. She was great and we will definitely be using her services.”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Kristen did an excellent job, and I highly recommend her. I was a little hesitant at first because of the pricing, but once I realized what was included, it made complete sense. Her setup is on a large piece of land that has clearly been customized specifically for pets. There are multiple fenced-in areas where dogs can safely run freely, and it gave me a lot of peace knowing my dog had space, structure, and proper care. Her communication could not have been better. Every time I texted her, she responded within minutes and fully addressed whatever concern I had. I also noticed a real difference in my dog after coming home. Before the stay, my dog would just come up to me and act excited when she needed to go outside. Now she actually cries to be let out, which is much easier to understand. She also seems to pull a lot less when I take her outside, so it honestly feels like some obedience training happened during the stay too. The kennel is climate controlled, the property is very well set up, and Kristen clearly cares about the dogs she watches. She even gave my dog special treats like pup cups with peanut butter and whipped cream. I was honestly worried my dog might not want to come home. If you want to leave your dog somewhere and not have to worry the whole time, this is the place.”
“Michelle is an amazing and caring dog sitter. She worked with me as my dates changed which helped me a great deal. She's also well knowledgeable about dog's behavior. I will hire her again for my dog, Josie.”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
