“Updates every day - either videos or photos of Eros enjoying his time there. First experience with Rover at all, and Daisy was nothing short of delightful. Thank you guys so much ♡”
“Christine, Ryan and the kids were awesome and treated our pup like a member of the family! They were very accommodating and sent us pictures and updates of our dog as well. Highly recommend!”
“Friendly and easy to talk to, Angel is the best you can find around! She has a secure indoor facility for your fur baby so you can rest assured they’re safe and comfortable! 5 stars, highly recommend!”
“Nicole is wonderful! I knew right away that my pup would be well taken care of when she was prepared with a list of things to confirm with me about Marley's care. Her house is doggy heaven with a lovely fenced yard, a doggy door into the house and ALL of the dog beds right in the heart of their cozy living room. I think it may have been 2 weeks and I've already booked her again. My 100lb., active rottweiler/shepard mix had a blast making friends with her pups. Highly recommend!”
“I am very satisfied with how she treated Marley, it was like he was part of their family, and that makes me feel very happy. I will definitely consider her watching him again. And I would recommend anyone to drop their fur babies off and good hands I wasn’t able to keep in contact due to not having service but when I did receive service, I had multiple pictures come through my phone and I felt great thank you again. I really appreciate you treating my buddy like your own”
“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.”
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.
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
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Paige was excellent and Sadie seemed to enjoy her stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and responses. I would recommend Paige and will use them as my preferred sitter going forward.”
“Karen was wonderful! Our dog had an amazing time with her. It was like a mini vacation for him with all the fun activities he got to do. Karen sent us photos every day of our dog and was very communicative.”
About: Keeping tails wagging and minds happy with love and attention. I believe every pet deserves love, fun, and focus because they’re family too! Puppy care, special needs support, brain games, training, and exercise. Walks, bathing, agility playtime, brain games, specialized training and more! Because I have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, I’m able to provide attentive, low-stress care and companionship for your furry family members 24/7. My workday typically ends by 2:00 PM, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, and any training or routines you’d like to maintain. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Your pup will have plenty of room to play in my large, fully fenced backyard featuring a secure 6-foot locked privacy fence. Inside, I’ve created a safe and comfortable environment with sturdy baby gates that restrict access to the kitchen and bathrooms while giving dogs plenty of space to relax and explore. I share my home with three well-socialized dogs and one cat. My cat has a separate area that is completely inaccessible to the dogs, ensuring everyone has their own safe space. Because I know that new environments can sometimes lead to a few accidents—especially during the first day or two as pets adjust—I have hardwood floors throughout most of my home for quick and easy cleanup without added stress. I have crates in a variety of sizes available if your dog is crate-trained or if you’d prefer they have a quiet, secure space. Dogs are welcome on my furniture because I believe they’re family, but I’m happy to follow your household rules. Whether your pup sleeps in a crate, on a dog bed, or cuddled on the couch, I’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. My neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it ideal for safe, enjoyable walks. There’s also a nearby dog park for dogs who enjoy extra opportunities to exercise and socialize (with your permission). My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like one of my own.
“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.”

“Emma was wonderful with my cat while I was away! She made notes every day about how she was doing, and made sure to always update me with pictures and videos. Will 100% rebook her in the future!”
“Maddie was a great caregiver for my 6 cats. She did everything I asked and more! She was kind and loving to my crew and kept up with all of their needs. I highly recommend Maddie!”
“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!”
“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”
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.
“Krista took fantastic care of my kitty, Girly, while I was away on vacation. She sent pictures every day, so that I could see Girly was happy and doing great. This is the second time she has taken care of Girly, and both times I was able to relax and enjoy my vacations knowing Girly was in very good hands. Thanks Krista!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive background and training in animal care. As a certified veterinary assistant with three years of veterinary care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all types, temperaments, and needs. This experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide not just basic care, but specialized attention tailored to your pet’s unique requirements. Whether your pet is a playful kitten needing training, an anxious rescue requiring patience, or a senior companion needing extra TLC, I’m here to help. I’m also experienced in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and handling emergency situations, so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands. Above all, I understand that every pet is a beloved member of the family, and I strive to provide personalized care to meet your needs and theirs. Whether it’s sticking to a special routine, providing companionship, or managing specific requests, I’m here to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

“Michele was great watching our 2 large dogs for 2 days while we were out of town. She communicated the whole time with updates and photos. Gave great peace of mind!”
About: I have always been around dogs but have not found my furever friend yet. I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters and watching dogs for friends and coworkers. Hello! As a teacher, I am available after school around 4pm and all the time on the weekends. I enjoy drop ins, walks, and overnight stays. In clients homes & my own, I ensure that the dog has ample human interaction time. I live in an apartment and prefer to watch animals in their own home but they are welcome in my own. On walks, I make sure the dog is secured before heading outside and always make sure there are photos or videos for the owners.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. My family and friends relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets when they needed it. I work part time. I try to let animals outside every 2-3 hours and make sure they get lots of loving and lots of play time. I follow whatever rules that you need if your dog needs to be crated before I ever leave then it will be or if you want it running around I will do that. I also know cpr on humans and animals.
About: Hi there, my name is Bella! I have experience working in at an animal clinic as a vet assistant and am currently working at an animal shelter. I was also in a Career Tech school for Veterinary Science for 2 years! I have a 2 year old Aussie named Kai and a 1 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lou. I have fostered many dogs in the past and have always had a passion for all animals! My goal in life is to continue my education in animal welfare and one day open my own rescue and boarding facility! I work 4 days a week but can check in before and after work! The 3 days I am off I can come whenever you need me! I will always keep an eye on your fur babies and will treat them like my own while they are in my care. Whether it is feeding plans, meds, play, or potty time, I will make sure all their needs are met!
About: Hello, my name is Kane. I am a 22 year old man with many years of dealing with and caring for dogs, cats, and other animals of many sizes. I have experience handling dogs with temperament issues and anxiety, as well as other species of animals with health issues and things of that nature. Having 2 large dogs of my own (75 lbs and 65 lbs each) I am very much in tune with handing larger breeds. I have also had small animals in the past so I also know how gently some need cared for. I am very flexible when it comes to caring for your animals as I only work 25 hours a week and am currently not attending college. I am also available to train young dogs while I drop in if you would like. Pet care is a huge part of my life, as I have animals of my own that I love to care for. My flexible schedule aids in my passion of caring for animals. When going to clients’ homes to care for their animals, I always leave the home better than how I found it. I closely follow all directions given by the homeowner, for both their home and pets.
“Kiera dropped in on our 2 cats a few times while we were out of town and she was phenomenal! She's a great communicator and stayed the full 30 minutes each time to spend quality time with our fur babies, playing with them and ensuring they got food, water and exercise. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and will treat your pets as if they are her own. We highly recommend Kiera for your pet needs and would hire her again in a heart beat!”

“Hillary was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure all routines were followed and that our dog received plenty of attention and love. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter.”

“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my greyhound, Buttercup. There was excellent communication before and during the visit and as someone like myself that hasn’t taken a dog for daycare, I was so happy how easy it was with your service. My dog loved Nicole and I would highly recommend her.”
“Kristol was the perfect dog sitter. Very warm and welcoming to us and our fur babies. My dog had never been to a dog sitter before, but everything was perfect. My dog felt very comfortable there and did great. Kristol sent several photos, which made me feel better. I would use Kristol's service anytime I could. Recommend her highly.”
About: I used to work as a dog trainer for a few years and have worked with all breeds of dogs, and all ages! I’ve grown up with cats and dogs - love them to bits! I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats - reading their body language, playing with them, walking them (no matter the size), and I will always give them space if needed. I wouldn’t ever force a pet out of its comfort zone because that can cause “an aggressive” scenario or permanently scare a pet. I love to play tug and fetch with dogs. My dog (recently passed( absolutely loved to play frisbee and we go to the park and run off so much energy! I can’t wait to make so many fur friends! I recently worked at a veterinary hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana and just moved to Troy, OH to hopefully start up at a vet here. I’m comfortable giving medications, injections, insulin, etc… (both cats and dogs). :) I’m pretty much free anytime currently! I am not working yet so I’m pretty open to anyones schedule if I don’t have stuff planned :) I will follow any instructions given and will send videos / photos of pets if wanted! I’m huge on making the pet parent comfortable & the pet comfortable.
“Katherine was a lifesaver! Our flight got cancelled and we weren’t going to be able to pick up our dogs from the kennel on time because of that. Katherine was able to pick up our dogs for us, on the same day and with only a few hours’ notice, and dog sit them at her house until we made it back home. We are so thankful for her and how she helped our four-legged family!”
“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!”
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
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.
“Jeanie was so sweet and excited to have my senior pup! She sent me a couple pictures and an update to ease my mind dropping him off somewhere new. Xavier did great at her house and I could tell he was very comfortable with her when I picked him up. I’m super thankful to have found her in a pinch. Now, I know I can drop him off again!”
About: I have cared for dogs for about 9 years now. Anywhere from my own dogs to family or friends. I have always loved dogs. I occasionally do fundraisers for local shelters to show my support. Your dog is guaranteed to be well taken care of, some may even say spoiled, at my house. I even have my own furry friend to keep them company & worn out. I currently am on leave from work until the end of June, leaving me home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week! Meaning ultimate snuggle time and plenty of hanging out with the doggos. I have unlimited water available for dogs whenever they need. My backyard has a 4-foot tall chain link fence , perfect for dogs to run around and play in as much as they want. My house is very dog friendly—dogs are allowed on the furniture and in any room they please. While I do have a 2 year old daughter at home, I am very consistent with teaching her to leave the dogs alone , even our own. Dogs should have personal space , and a break when needed. Also, your dog MUST be friendly with young children, I do take my own precautions but having a patient/friendly dog is the start.
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”

“Emma was great with our dogs, however. We met with her prior to booking so we could get to know her and our dogs could meet her as well. We spoke about the time being 12noon and that was not a problem. The first day (Monday) she was here on time, the next 3 days she arrived at 1pm. 1 hr later then discussed. Then Friday morning she texted us stating she was stuck at a house she was cleaning and was not gonna be able to make it. My wife had to rush from work in Sidney to take them out, then rush back. Keep in mind we had already paid for the entire week.”
“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: Hi! I've taken care of animals for about 40 years. I had horses growing up, then my kids got into 4h and I've help raise chicken, turkeys, pigs, and dairy feeders. I've also had numerous big dogs that have lived to be anywhere from 10 to 14 years. We recently rescued our dog harley and we use rover when we go on vacation so I thought I would help others with the stress of worrying about their pets while they are gone. I promise to care for them like they were my own.❤️ I'm not working so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I have open availability to watch ur babies in ur home, have drop in visits, or just go for a walk!! I would prefer to watch pets in your home bc my pet isn't very dog friendly and is very protective of my husband and I.
About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat them like family while they’re with me. I previously owned a husky, so I’m familiar with caring for high-energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and lots of engagement. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, young, or older. I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Hi! I’m an animal lover and expecting my first baby girl in June, so I’m looking for a reliable and flexible way to earn income while spending precious time with my little one. I’ve always loved being around dogs and would love to help with walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and will treat your pets like family 🤍 I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates/photos for peace of mind.
About: I have 8 years experience training dogs from puppies to leash reactive dogs. I am comfortable medicating animals and caring for special needs. I saved a client dog recently when I recognized she had eaten one of her toys before coming to stay with me. I rushed her to have emergency surgery and then cared for her after surgery until her parents arrived back from their cruise. I am all about pet care. I am home daily with the exception of a couple varied hours to go out to walk or train dogs. I have 5 fully fenced acres, with a secure fenced backyard just for dogs. My family has 4 dogs of our own, 1 is a livestock guardian who lives outside fulltime(his choice I promise). The dogs and I often go play in the fenced pasture when the horses and chickens are secured. Everyone is always monitored and supervised for safety. Meals are always fed with dogs separated for prevention and safety.
About: Ever since I was a child, I was responsible for the care of a variety of animals, and I mean solely responsible. Growing up (and today), I was the one that friends and family came to for pet sitters and care/training advice. I prioritize following pet care instructions to a tee- I do not cut corners on even the most “meticulous” of care instructions. With me, you can trust that your fur babies will receive the highest quality of care and attention because of my intrinsic love for animals. My days vary a lot, but I am often able to make time if you give me a week’s notice. If you need urgent pet care, do not hesitate to reach out. I cannot promise that I will 100% be available, but I will make the time if I have it. Honestly, I prefer to play by the owner’s rules when caring for their pets. Besides that, I refuse to take anything but a gentle approach with the pets. I am very careful to only administer treats/toys as the owner instructs.
About: I have owned dogs, cats, horses, chickens, cows, fish and birds. I love animals and I currently have none! I believe in treating a pet with the same respect that I want to be treated. I am very patient and understanding of various personality traits and needs. I am a full time teacher so I am available outside of the teaching time and during my breaks and days off! I am very flexible. I have the week of Thanksgiving off work, plus 2 1/2 weeks at Christmas and I have weekends, evenings and early morning available. If you need the pet to stay at my house, that's no problem, either. I have a fenced in yard and pet-friendly furniture. I treat pets like humans, I have a fenced in yard and I give lots of attention. I can go for walks if needed and I have pet friendly furniture. I can also come to your house, too. I am open to whatever works for you and your pet.
About: I’ve house sat and taken care of animals of all kinds since I could remember. I’ve had cats my entire life and dogs for 90% of it. I have my own dog Murph who is a Bernese Mt Dog Husky mix. I have awkward hours due to being a student and part time worker which means my hours are perfect for those longer days when you need someone to stop by or take your furry friend for a walk I have history with walking and house sitting, as long as week stays at a time depending on the schedule. I have references if needed!

“Updates every day - either videos or photos of Eros enjoying his time there. First experience with Rover at all, and Daisy was nothing short of delightful. Thank you guys so much ♡”
“Christine, Ryan and the kids were awesome and treated our pup like a member of the family! They were very accommodating and sent us pictures and updates of our dog as well. Highly recommend!”
“Friendly and easy to talk to, Angel is the best you can find around! She has a secure indoor facility for your fur baby so you can rest assured they’re safe and comfortable! 5 stars, highly recommend!”
“Nicole is wonderful! I knew right away that my pup would be well taken care of when she was prepared with a list of things to confirm with me about Marley's care. Her house is doggy heaven with a lovely fenced yard, a doggy door into the house and ALL of the dog beds right in the heart of their cozy living room. I think it may have been 2 weeks and I've already booked her again. My 100lb., active rottweiler/shepard mix had a blast making friends with her pups. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
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.
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
“Paige was excellent and Sadie seemed to enjoy her stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and responses. I would recommend Paige and will use them as my preferred sitter going forward.”
“Karen was wonderful! Our dog had an amazing time with her. It was like a mini vacation for him with all the fun activities he got to do. Karen sent us photos every day of our dog and was very communicative.”
“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.”
“Mollie is absolutely hands down the BEST at taking care of our Keira while we are out of town! Keira is always happy to see Mollie and her fur family. I know that our baby is always safe and loved while we are away.”
“Kayla provided excellent dog boarding services. We received texts and photos to keep us informed of how our dog was doing. She understands dogs and has a system to keep them apart if they don't get along with hers. We knew our 'Teddy' loved staying there when we picked him up. Will definitely the next time we're passing through the area.”
“Katherine is wonderful. I enjoyed reading diving texts & pictures of my Sadie while I was away. She was well cared for & I will definitely use Katherine’s services again.”
