About: We are both retired and love to take care of dogs. We have a five acre farm with 1/2 acre fenced in yard. Our beagle is always happy to have visitors. We are both retired educators so we have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! We are empty-nesters so your pets will be our children while they are in our home. We live in the country and have a large fenced backyard. We treat our dog like a loving child. We both love having dogs visit and take delicate care of other dogs.
“Daisy and her husband are my favorite dog sitters for my little long haired dachshund, Lilly. She is very old, and sensitive. They know how to care for her well, and she loves them. This was her second visit, and she was comfortable and felt right at home immediately. I’m so thankful for them. ❤️”
“Leaving your best friend with a stranger can be a nervous experience but Kristi made us and Nixon feel reassured on our pre visit to see the farm beforehand. He was well looked after with walks and play time. Nixon was has been very tired after coming home so we know he got plenty of exercise while there. 10 out of 10 would definitely go back.”
“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.”
About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2024 started year four 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. 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.
“Alexis was amazing with our girls. She kept us updated on how they were doing, sent photos and even groomed them. She also gave them homemade treats. They loved her too. We look forward to using her services again.”
“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.”
“Christine and family took great care of Ginger. We received many pictures and updates of the shenanigans our pup was getting into. They took everything in stride and were very accommodating to Gingers needs. I will be reaching out to Christine for any future boarding needs”
“Angel has always taken excellent care of our pups, and has gone above and beyond with making sure they’re well taken care of, safe, fed, and happy! We trust Angel and can’t thank her enough for all her great work!”
“Tami is an absolute blessing to our family! She took such great care of Curly I think he was a little sad when it was time to come back home! Ha! Curly enjoyed his time with her so much we hope she’s available next time we need to be away from home!”
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’s care and compassion shines in everything she does. She had special doggy treats, daily walks, pics, and updates often. My pup is a nervous clinger and she made him feel safe and loved 🤎 will recommend her to anyone!”
“Thank for sending so many pictures and keeping us updated! Bucky obviously loves being there and feels comfortable! I still can’t believe he was willing to share his dog bed with your dogs! I love that! I’m glad we have somewhere to take him where he feels that safe!”
“Nate and Whitney came to our rescue for a last minute visit with relatives. They sent lots of pictures and kept us informed of how Biggs was doing. We could enjoy our visit knowing he was in great hands! Thank you so much!”
“Gregory was a great sitter and helped our dog Doodle feel right at home. He also sent videos and pictures that helped us see how great of a time Doodle was having. We would definitely use Gregory again!”
“Audrey is absolutely the best person I could have found for our girl. She is thoughtful and loving and kept us informed of everything our girl was doing. I could not imagine a more safe, healthy and happy place for her to be.”

“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 an amazing sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. We had a stressful and emotional wedding get away and knowing the pets we're in good hands was a huge relief. Her check ins went exactly by the schedule we planned and she provided several photos at each visit. She quickly responded to any questions I had during our time away. We are excited to have her close by and available to help in the future!!”
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.
“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: 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!
“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: 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: 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: 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.
“Had Kendall watch over my cat for two weeks. Fantastic job. Always communicated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Make sure to hire when you need someone to look after your animal”
“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’ve taken care of family friends, neighbors, and friends pets, which includes feeding, walking, and giving them love!! I have over 5 years of experience and I can provide references! Also while house sitting in your home I can grab the mail, water plants, and I always try to leave houses tidy! In clients houses, I will spend lots of time giving your furry friends pets, making sure they are fed, walked, and happy! I try and take dogs on 20-30 minute walks at least twice a day! I’m currently taking some classes at front range community college, but don’t worry, I will still have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I have a fenced in yard and my next door neighbors do not own pets. There are also lots of walking trails in my neighborhood.
“Angela was amazing again! We didn't end up needing her for the whole week but it was nice to know she was nearby. Very responsive and sent great photos of my kitties. 100% recommend!”

“Angela is fantastic with my pups. I have always had family watch them during the day, but a change in jobs left me anxious to find the right spot for them.

“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.”
“The best sitter! I highly recommend Kristol for doggy day care. My shy, little puppy was right at home at Kristol's. I received pictures throughout the day of my sweet pup playing and relaxing. She even helped my girl with her potty training. Trusting someone else with your furbaby can be so stressful! But I completely trust Kristol, and cannot say enough good things!”
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.
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.
“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.”
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.
“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 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’ve loved and taken care of animals for as long as I remember! My parents used to call me the animal whisperer and I used to take care of all the neighborhood animals while their families were away growing up. I am constantly around animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable around any sort of pet and i’m willing to learn how to best take care of your animal! I love walks, hikes, or taking a trip to a dog park of some sort! I’ve always grown up around animals and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, one cat needing special attention for her medications, so i’m prepared for any special treatment! I’m currently in nursing school whilst also bartending a couple nights during the week but I have plenty of free time and I’m very flexible! I have 3 very playful dogs and 2 mellow cats, one needing special care for her medications so I’m always vigilant to any kind of specific care that your animals may need. I’d love to spend more time outside this summer but I also love a couch potato!
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.

“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.”

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
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: 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.

I also have two cat trees (more hopefully soon) for the kitties to play on and lounge around. I have and will provide enrichment puzzles and toys for your dogs per your request.
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 had and taken care of animals since before I can remember. I've taken care of multiple elder dogs and being careful to give them their correct care. I have also recently got a puppy of my own who I have been working on to correct his behaviors. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of free time to dedicate to people's animals. I have my own car as well so I should be able to make it anywhere, anytime. I look for the animals comfortable spot and learn what toys they like the most. I spend as much time as the animal wants enjoying their company and playing fetch with their favorite toy.
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. I do this because I love it, not for the money. Currently, I am a dog walker for three dogs, but I would love the opportunity to care for other people’s furry family members on top of that. I am free to walk dogs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. I am free to board dogs and cats Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am free to check in on your furry friends at home pretty much whenever, we can work out the details further when the time comes. - For checking in on pets: When in a client’s home, I am very careful to respect their belongings and privacy. I ensure that I only get into spaces that they instruct me to. *Please be aware: I take my boyfriend with me to house visits for safety precautions, he does not meddle with anything of course, he is just there to ensure my safety (meeting with strangers on the internet is scary, lol.)* - For boarding dogs: *Please be aware: For dogs, I can only care for small puppies. Unfortunately, we have a rescue dog who is reactive to adult dogs due to trauma. But, he is gentle as can be with small puppies and any sort of cats. We also have two cats who are dog friendly, so please ensure that your pup is good with cats* Also, I have a fenced in yard and a whole house for your baby to roam. -For boarding cats: We have two cats here, and though they are fairly cat friendly, I do not intend for them to meet client cats so as to avoid unnecessary stress on my and your cats. So, cats will remain separated. Your cat will be allowed to free roam a certain level of the house for hours, then will be switched out to another level of the house for hours (all while being blocked off from the resident kitties.) Of course, constant supervision will be in place for the entirety of their stay. Your kitty will also sleep in a room with me for the night. - For dog walking: Please provide dog poop bags and, if wanted, any sort of treats you would like for the walk. I require meeting dog walking clients in public places for safety precautions. Also, please let me know of any commands, work, or quirks (chasing after animals, dog aggressive, etc.) that you’d like me to keep in mind for our walks.

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 ur home bc my pet isn't very dog friendly and is very protective of my husband and i.

About: We are both retired and love to take care of dogs. We have a five acre farm with 1/2 acre fenced in yard. Our beagle is always happy to have visitors. We are both retired educators so we have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! We are empty-nesters so your pets will be our children while they are in our home. We live in the country and have a large fenced backyard. We treat our dog like a loving child. We both love having dogs visit and take delicate care of other dogs.
“Daisy and her husband are my favorite dog sitters for my little long haired dachshund, Lilly. She is very old, and sensitive. They know how to care for her well, and she loves them. This was her second visit, and she was comfortable and felt right at home immediately. I’m so thankful for them. ❤️”
“Leaving your best friend with a stranger can be a nervous experience but Kristi made us and Nixon feel reassured on our pre visit to see the farm beforehand. He was well looked after with walks and play time. Nixon was has been very tired after coming home so we know he got plenty of exercise while there. 10 out of 10 would definitely go back.”
“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.”
About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2024 started year four 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. 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.
“Alexis was amazing with our girls. She kept us updated on how they were doing, sent photos and even groomed them. She also gave them homemade treats. They loved her too. We look forward to using her services again.”
“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.”
“Christine and family took great care of Ginger. We received many pictures and updates of the shenanigans our pup was getting into. They took everything in stride and were very accommodating to Gingers needs. I will be reaching out to Christine for any future boarding needs”
“Angel has always taken excellent care of our pups, and has gone above and beyond with making sure they’re well taken care of, safe, fed, and happy! We trust Angel and can’t thank her enough for all her great work!”
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
“Thank for sending so many pictures and keeping us updated! Bucky obviously loves being there and feels comfortable! I still can’t believe he was willing to share his dog bed with your dogs! I love that! I’m glad we have somewhere to take him where he feels that safe!”
“Nate and Whitney came to our rescue for a last minute visit with relatives. They sent lots of pictures and kept us informed of how Biggs was doing. We could enjoy our visit knowing he was in great hands! Thank you so much!”
“Gregory was a great sitter and helped our dog Doodle feel right at home. He also sent videos and pictures that helped us see how great of a time Doodle was having. We would definitely use Gregory again!”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“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!”
“Karen is the best pet sitter that we have ever had! I was able to go on vacation and feel confident that my dog was going to be safe and happy while I was gone. Karen sent us daily updates on how Zoey was doing and sent us several pictures every day. She responded back within a few minutes every time I reached out to her. Karen is very knowledgeable about dogs and how to handle different medical conditions and dog temperaments and personalities. She was able to accommodate my dog's specific diet and medical needs with no problem. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience and will be using Karen again the next time we need a pet sitter.”
