About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

“Great communication and provided regular updates. Oreo seemed very happy & relaxed upon pickup after the stay. Would definitely book with Amber again in the future.”
“Andrew and his family took great care of Luna. She seems to have settled in quickly with his family of people and pups and came home happy. Would absolutely book with him again.”

“Rose was AMAZING! This was the first time I’ve ever dropped my pup off at someone’s house and I was so emotional about it. But she sent so many pictures and videos and made Athena so comfortable and happy at her house. Communication was fantastic before boarding and during. I honestly can’t praise her enough for everything she did. 10/10 recommend for your dogs needs!!”

“Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!”
“My dog recently stayed two nights with Dawn in her home. Dawn took her on walks and made sure she had plenty of playtime and I could tell she really cared about making her comfortable. I would highly recommend Dawn and will be reusing her in the future.”

“Justin was an awesome sitter for our two cats during a weeklong trip out of state! He was obviously great with our pets, easy to communicate with, and flexible to meet our needs. He was very respectful of our home as well, and left it looking the same if not better than we did :) We booked fairly last minute, and it was such a relief meeting Justin, and knowing our boys would be well taken care of. Thanks again Justin, we would love to book again in the future!”
About: Don’t tell the dogs, but I’ve always been a cat person. I appreciate their way of loving and tolerating. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field for over 7 years with grooming experience as well. Can assist with brushing, nail trimming and other special needs.
“Madigan was excellent! She gave our cats lots of love while we were away and took great care of them. She left detailed notes about each visit and I know my cats were in great hands!”
“Courteney was amazing and gave me real time updates during her drop in visit with my cats. She went above and beyond and I felt that my fur babies were safe with her. I’d definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some are social and playful, while others prefer a quieter approach—and I always let them set the pace. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playing with them, giving lots of attention (if they want it!), and administering oral medications when needed. My priority is making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
“Taylor was amazing with my two cats!! I was gone on vacation for a week and never worried once because I knew my boys were in good hands!! Her communication was solid and care was much appreciated. Definitely would recommend Taylor to anyone!!”

“Elyza is the best cat sitter I’ve had by far. She spent a great deal of time ensuring my cat was fed, watered, and loved whilst I was away. Very reliable and kind. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I have deep experience with all kinds of cats, from kittens to elder, and watched cats with all kinds of health conditions. I’m the proud cat mom of a 6 year old Maine Coon with his own health problems, and a sweet 6 month old kitten.
About: I am a third generation crazy cat lady. I have had many cats throughout my life. Cats are special creatures, they are independent but still need spoiled and cared for when their owners are away. I’d be happy to check on your precious baby when you are away! I am the proud owner of three beautiful boy kitties Indiana Jones, Maverick and Arlo.
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs — I grew up with four, and I currently have one of my own. Being around dogs has always been second nature to me, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. From daily walks to belly rubs and everything in between, I know how important it is to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve, especially when you’re away. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, I’m here to treat them like family I work full time but my partner will always be home! I have flexible hours and can always communicate with you on what works best with your schedule. I have Sundays and Mondays off! I can follow any instructions needed for your furry one and will care for them any way needed while you are away to make sure they are well attended to!
“Olivia is WONDERFUL!!! She is very attentive and communicative. We definitely felt that she cared for Indy in a very personal way. We would definitely recommend her to watch any and all of your animals..”
“She was very flexible and accommodating with my last-minute requests and changes to the schedule, and kept me well informed on feeding and care updates. She was thorough, attentive, and greatly put my mind at ease that my cats were okay while I was gone for almost three days. Thank you so much Brook!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Derby
About: I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I work full time at the moment but I am looking to do this full time so that I can go to dental assisting school. I myself have a fenced in yard, but I am comfortable with non yard homes, walking dogs, going to a dog park, groomers, providing medicine and cuddles.
“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
“Angie and her family are wonderful with my pup Boone. He’s always worn out when I pick him up, which I appreciate greatly! Will definitely be using her as my go to as long as she’ll take us!!”
“Nicole is an excellent caring host. She has a wonderful large grassy backyard with a big tree providing shade and has a pack of nice regulars that are all easygoing . Overall it was an excellent experience for Cookie.”
“I booked day care for my daughter's dog Gunner for the entire day on 4/4. I met with Kathryn and Teddy a few days before leaving him at her house and felt good about the upcoming visit afterwards. Kathryn sent me multiple photos during the day which I truly appreciated. It was great to be able to leave him somewhere I felt would allow him to be less anxious as Kathryn let me bring his pet bed and pillow which he uses regularly at home. He also has multiple small feedings through the day which she gave him. The fenced in yard she has is huge! I'm grateful to have a place I can take Gunner where I will feel I can take care of any business at hand with no worries about leaving him.”
“Rose was great! She has a great property for taking care of pets; with a good size fenced in backyard. She was attentive to my two dogs and always fast at responding. We’re looking forward to using her in the future!”
About: The first dog I ever met was a stray my family found in the winter—she was trying to stay warm under my dad’s truck. We had just returned from cutting wood and happened upon her all curled up and shivering. I begged my parents to keep her and am grateful they did! We named her Maddie and it was through caring for her that I learned how to properly love, train and take care of animals. I knew early on that I wanted pet-sitting to be a big part of my life. As a kid, I became the neighborhood dog walker and pet-sitter. Friends, family and neighbors would hire me for my services, sometimes for months at a time while they were away! I have been pet-sitting as an adult for awhile now and have helped keep over 30 dogs happy and healthy through house-sitting and walking while their owners were away! A little about me: I’m a student-athlete at Ohio Dominican University, where I study and run track. Being a student athlete for much of my life has taught me how to manage my time and has also instilled in me hardworking values. These are transferable skills that definitely help me manage my pet-sitting business and if you asked one of my clients, I’m sure they would agree that I am kind, caring, professional and hardworking. I can give dogs all the love and care they need, even when it is hard work or demands extra patience! I am also sure to keep in constant communication with my clients and send updates about their pup in real time. I want you to know that your dog is safe and happy when in my care and will do everything I can to make sure you feel satisfied with my work!
“Thank you for taking care of our pup and the daily updates. Chad and Cara were great communicating with us regarding Buddys stay and meeting his daily medication needs. Seemed like they had an easier time/merhod of giving Buddy his med than we did. Could not be thankful enough!!”
About: I provide dedicated, attentive care tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Having spent years caring for a wide variety of animals for friends and family, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or giving your pet extra love and attention while you are away, I prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I am highly dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to giving you complete peace of mind while you're out. I have excellent availability throughout the summer and am open to caring for your pets seven days a week! My schedule is highly flexible Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Mondays and Thursdays, I look after my two young grandchildren, which means I will be hanging out at home with them. If your pet loves a lively, family-friendly environment, they will fit right in on those days; otherwise, I can easily tailor my focus to match their preferred routine! Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a spacious fenced-in backyard perfect for safe outdoor playtime and bathroom breaks. Your furry family member will have plenty of company here, as I have two friendly dogs and a welcoming cat who are all completely accustomed to sharing their space with new guest dogs. Whether they want to run laps in the yard, socialize with my pets, or just find a cozy spot to relax, my home is a secure and loving environment.
“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of Nikko!”
“Lindsey was great with Walter! He played all day and she sent us pics and kept us updated. She was flexible on pick up and drop off, Walt can’t wait to go back!”
“Michelle was fantastic! Reached out on short notice & she happily watched my pup. She was very responsive the whole day, sending pictures and videos with updates. Tucker had a great time, I will certainly be a returning client! Highly suggest to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.
About: As an enthusiastic animal lover, I treat every pet like my own! I'm responsible and conscientious about keeping your little one secure, entertained and happy!

I would love to have your pet by my side to enjoy the sunshine! There's nothing I'd rather do than snuggle and play with dogs and cats. Animals bring me such joy and in return I want to give them the best possible experience I can❤ I live in a quiet, nice neighborhood with a big open yard. There are parks and a track nearby for frequent walks so your little one will get plenty of exercise, sniffs and fun playtime! Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture including beds. Very casual atmosphere :)
“Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”

I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is structured but flexible within my available days. Because I am in school full-time, I carefully plan my availability to ensure I can dedicate quality time and focused attention to each pet I care for. I do not rush visits—I prioritize meaningful interaction so your pet feels comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” Whether you need a quick drop-in, a refreshing walk, or a full day of care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! 🐶💛 I can care for your fur babies in any environment. In my home I have a fenced in backyard where your baby can run free. I treat animals like humans and they are all welcomed on the furniture! I try to stay fairly active so I can take your dog on short jogs or long walks.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and they seem to trust me easily. Basic feeding and walking for dog and cats too if needed. I'm currently looking to make pet sitting my full time emplyoment, I hope to make many animals and pet parents happy with my service. For dogs I would change the food and water when arriving and take dogs for a walk or outside to use the bathroom. Cats I would change food and water while also cleaning the litter box after use.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.

“Lauren was absolutely great with my doggos! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. One of my dogs required quite a bit of medication and she was very accepting of it. I would definitely recommend Lauren if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

“We had an amazing experience with Kelsey, she would send a daily video of Ranger and Lucky and you could tell they’re happy. I would recommend Kelsey and I would take my dogs to her again.”
“Rose was AMAZING! This was the first time I’ve ever dropped my pup off at someone’s house and I was so emotional about it. But she sent so many pictures and videos and made Athena so comfortable and happy at her house. Communication was fantastic before boarding and during. I honestly can’t praise her enough for everything she did. 10/10 recommend for your dogs needs!!”
“Alexandria was an incredible sitter for Maple who went above and beyond each day to provide Maple with fun enrichment activities and lots of love. Maple returned home a very happy and spoiled girl!”
“Rachel and her daughter, Grace, took great care of my dog Buster. They made him feel part of the family and I could see how happy Buster was from the pictures I received. They are a fantastic dog sitter!”
“Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!”
“My dog recently stayed two nights with Dawn in her home. Dawn took her on walks and made sure she had plenty of playtime and I could tell she really cared about making her comfortable. I would highly recommend Dawn and will be reusing her in the future.”
“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”
“Chad and Cara took great care of my dog! They were flexible to drop-off/pick-up times and quick with communication. They sent a few pictures a day, which always puts a smile on your face. I would definitely use them again.”
“My two dogs recently had a weekend visit with Kimberly and they had such a great time. She was very friendly and attentive to their needs. I received plenty of updates with cute photos and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies in such great hands. We will be using her services again in the future. Thank you so much! 😊”
“Emily was great! This was our first time using a sitter instead of a boarding facility. She was quick to respond to messages and sent pictures. Our girl came home rested and happy instead of stressed out and exhausted from no sleep. Thank you!”
“Mary did a great job with sending daily updates and following my thorough instructions for my senior dog with cancer. He seemed to get lots of positive stimulation with her and her dogs. Would definitely book again.”
About: Hello, I grew up with a houseful of pets and now I am an owner to 3 small dogs and 3 kitties. As a mom to four daughters and six pets, I understand the stress of trying to plan a vacation away from home. I have dealt with my share of good and bad Pet Sitters over the last few years. I am 41 years old and have strong moral values and am very compassionate/ empathetic to all people and I feel that it is important to say about my character in these wild, uncertain modern times. I do have a full-time job that is 100% remote and very flexible in my daily schedule. I would like to meet new local families and help provide reliable, trustworthy care for your beloved pets! I have a fully remote, flexible schedule. My kids do not play any sports so I don’t have extra curricular activities to attend regularly. I’m hoping to find people in my area or surrounding neighborhoods. I am not ready to board in my home since it is a full house here with four kids, three dogs and 3 cats but I have the freedom and ability to come to your home, let your pets outside, feed them, give medicine, take a walk and give lots of pets and belly rubs.
