Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dodds
“Chris took great care of our dog. He sent terrific photos each day and gave a report on how she was getting along. She went on walks and played with his daughters. We would be happy to use Chris again. Highly recommend him.”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Joe. She can be nervous to leave us, and he put her right at ease. He was great with updates, and gave her gentle care. We will definitely be using him again! Your pup will be in good hands if you book with Joe!”
“Karin was absolutely amazing! She opened her home up to my puppy Bentley! She gave exceptional care to him. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable! She gave updates throughout the days she kept him and he even interacted with her dog. I give her 12/10 stars. She was absolutely wonderful and trustworthy with my baby boy!”
“Brendan was absolutely great navigating our Payton. He has high anxiety but was through the roof as he had never stayed with a stranger before. He was patient and understanding. He kept in touch and sent pics.”
“I would use Aparajita again in the future. She treated my baby like one of her own, even talking care of his itchy paws. I was constantly updated with pictures and messages that explained what they did that day and how she treated the itch. I had a worry free vacation because of her.”
“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Sabrina. She kept our Chesapeake Bay retriever for five days while we attended a funeral. Her home is very nice; her dog runs are covered; and she has artificial grass in the runs, which are adjacent to the house so she can observe them. She has two huge yard areas for dogs to run and play. Most of all, she let our dog inside and treated her as part of her family. My dog was not stressed when she stayed there. Sabrina did not use crates, which is extremely important to me. She followed my dog’s feeding instructions and answered any questions that we had.”
“Sheila and Jeff were great with our pup! They asked lots of great questions before our dog's stay to ensure she would be comfortable. They took awesome care of our dog, and sent lots of photos. They have a very nice and secure fenced in yard, and their two dogs are very sweet and playful. We will definitely use them for future stays!”
“Rosie was excellent! I can’t say thank you enough! She sent me photos almost every hour! She made sure my puppy was well! Great communicator! I would definitely come back to Rosie!”
“My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!”
“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”
“John and Kelly took really great care of Koda! They kept us updated on how he was doing and gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We look forward to booking with them in the future since Koda enjoyed his stay so much!”
“Amanda was great with our dog while we were OOT. Sent updates and took pictures daily. Took him on long walks daily so he could get out his puppy energy ? would definitely recommend”
“Our pup, Sokka, absolutely loves Ryan which is helpful since our dog has anxiety around other dogs (so kennel boarding is a very stressful experience). We really appreciate that Ryan also takes Sokka on walks and dog park visits if he's able to do so. We highly recommend Ryan for boarding!”
“Lisa was FABULOUS!! Friendly, great communicator, pictures everyday. I came home to a happy, healthy dog. Will Absolutely be using Lisa for all future boarding needs. Five Star Service!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Molly and Oliver enjoyed their stay! Drop off and pick up are very smooth and efficient. We appreciate the updates throughout the week. And most of all, our dogs come home happy and well taken care of!”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Thank you Beka and Ryan, for taking such wonderful care of Sandie. It gives me such peace of mind to know that when I can go away, that she is just like at home with you. I very much appreciate all you do. Lisa”

“Lynn (Bonita) was absolutely amazing in her care of our kitten and older cat. She was so attentive to them and provided wonderful updates daily. We were a bit apprehensive about leaving for a week, but both Ken and Poppy were happy and healthy when we returned. I really appreciate the time Lynn took to give attention to both cats individually - Ken was so comfortable with her, he allowed belly-rubs! I definitely recommend Lynn to care for your pets! I will request her services again in the future.”
“Emma was an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of my cat and chinchilla. She was on time, did the task I asked, and was very respectful of our home. She took plenty of pictures and I loved reading her updates. I would highly suggest her.”
“Caroline is truly one of a kind. She watched my two cats again after a couple years, and they immediately remembered her — which says everything. She just gets them. Her updates were hilarious and detailed (like full-on storytime from the cats’ point of view) and honestly made my whole trip better. It’s so rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, but that’s exactly what she does. She gave them the same love, attention, and cuddles I would — probably more. I never had to worry once. I came home to happy cats, a spotless house, clean sheets, and the feeling that my cats had just had the best little staycation ever. She’s thoughtful, dependable, funny, and just genuinely wonderful to work with. If you’re lucky enough to book her — do it. My cats (and I) absolutely adore her.”

“Frankie was awesome! She tried so hard to get the shy one to come around, and got it done😻 She left things better than I did when we left - cat bowls washed, litter boxes spotless, refilled the water jug upstairs. 100% recommend, will definitely book again❤️”
“Amanda sent pics of my dog to me, and communicated with me during and after each visit. She did get into a pickle, but stayed positive and let me know about it. Will definitely use her for future dog duties!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dodds
“Sabrina and her family were awesome, they were so good to Oliver and I know he had a blast because he came home and immediately passed out for the rest of the night! I definitely recommend Sabrina for all your pup watching needs!”
“Amanda, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Winston! He's having the best time with you, and it's great to see him interacting with other dogs for the first time. I appreciate the love, care, and attention you're giving him. The pictures you send throughout the day are the best - they always put a smile on my face! Winston comes home happy, tired, and ready for a well-deserved rest. Thanks again for all that you do!”
“Tim and Kasia were amazing with our Oliver! We were nervous to leave him for the first time since adopting him, he’s goes to work with us every day and he rides with us nearly everywhere but our daughters play sports and we have long weekend days away from home. They sent videos of him running around with the other dogs playing and having a blast, which was great to see because he’s a total couch potato at home. When my husband picked him up he acted like he didn’t want to leave which is out of character for Oliver because he’s usually glued to us 24/7! He loved being there and they will be our first choice whenever we need care for Oliver.”

About: I have experience taking care of friends' dogs and my own dog, giving her oral medications and in food, walking them among others. I enjoy the experience a lot, to be able to meet new pets and their owners. I work from home, so I am available during the day to give your doggie attention, take your dog for a walk, feed and of course give your doggie a lot of love. I know very well what it's like to be away from your beloved doggie and how much you miss them when they're not by your side. That's why I assure you of frequent, daily updates on your doggie so you can have peace of mind knowing how they are and what they're doing each day. Being home all day allows me to guarantee that your doggie will always be accompanied and well cared for. They will be able to go outside to pee frequently, will have their meals on time, and will get their daily walk if they enjoy physical activity. I always keep a close eye on the dogs I'm caring for and always take them outside on a leash. If your dog takes any oral medication or vitamins, please feel free to bring them so I can administer them. Just send me the instructions in writing before the day you drop them off. If your dog has any favorite toys, treats, or long-lasting chews that they're used to having, it would be great if you brought them so they feel even happier. My priority is that your doggie feels comfortable and happy, and they will receive plenty of belly rubs and love.
“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Catherine and Hubby are a wonderful team. They both love animals and they take such good care of my fur baby, just like she's their own. If you need care I highly recommend THEM!”
“Our dog, Monty, really enjoyed his stay and obviously bonded with the care providers and other members of the pack. The daily pictures and updates were very much appreciated. We are fortunate to have found you. Thank you!”
“Erin was a terrific sitter for Jax! Her house was surprisingly clean for a pet owner / pet sitter! Jax was happy and exhausted at the end of the day and he made sure to give love to Erin before coming with me when I picked him up. I plan to use this sitter again!”
“Kristin was amazing! We were from our of town visiting family and needed a last minute pet sitter and she was so quick to help us! Extremely accommodating and friendly! I will be recommending her to all my Ohio friends. Oh, and she gave us several pictures throughout the day of our little guy ❤️”
About: I own and care for a 3 year-old medium goldendoodle. He is energetic and always ready to play with any dog or human around. I have 2 years of dog training experience, including basic obedience training, and basic trick training. I grew up with a Brittany, so I am very familiar with the personalities and instincts of hunting breeds as well. I stay at home with my one year old son, so I am available during the week days, and for extended stays/overnight boarding. We would love to care for your dog! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.

I currently don’t have a job so i can focus on around the clock care for your furry friends. And have no problem with that. I have a fenced in yard and have 2 other dogs to keep your baby company. i also have crates and space to separate them if needed.
About: I grew up with animals and as a parent now love to share my love of animals With my children. I am Flexible and willing to be as accommodating as I possibly can for all the pet owners seeking assistance with their pets. I do this because I know how scary it can be leaving your pet somewhere and not knowing. I also know how scary it can be to leave your pet while you are away. I do my best to stay in contact with all my clients and offer plenty of photos. I am very versatile and have experience with a lot of different pets. I am active and love bringing the pets I care for along with me for walks or out around town (as long as the clients are comfortable) I want their experience in my home and with me to mimic their normal every day routine in their home. I feel that lessens their anxiety. It’s incorporated into my daily as I make adjustments. Normally if I need to go somewhere I am sure that I understand from the owners if their pet is able to stay out or if they would prefer that their pet be put in a safe place so they don’t decide to become mischievous while I run errands. I also offer the opportunity for them to come with me if they enjoy car rides. Again what’s most important to me is keeping the pets routine as closely aligned to their normal routine at home. In order to ensure that the pets I care for are happy and healthy while in my care I am sure to get a clear understanding of how their routine normally works and I ensure that I align their routine at my house to that. This helps alleviate anxiety and fear when being in a new place.
About: Hi, I’m Courtney! Your dog’s new dependable best friend. With 15 years of experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and caring approach to every visit. I’m comfortable with all breeds, all sizes, and all personalities — from shy seniors to energetic puppies. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have dogs and guinea pigs at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and understood while keeping you updated every step of the way. Pet care is naturally built into my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my drop-ins and walks to make sure every pet gets consistent, on-time care. I check in throughout the day, send updates, and make sure each visit has my full attention. On my days off, I’m even more flexible and can offer extra visit times. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, make sure their needs are met, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention. I provide calm, consistent care and always send updates each visit.
“Parisa took great care of my German Shepard. She provided plenty of exercise for him in her shaded backyard. He came home worn out every day which tells me that he had a great day with her. She also provided daily photos and updates via text. She is friendly and loved our dog while he was in her care.”
About: After a lifetime in the equine boarding and training industry I've settled into the small animal/ dog training and sitting lifestyle. With 1 amazing dog of my own (and occasional foster kiddos) we welcome all dog friendly breeds, sizes and tempermants of pets into our loving home. My life and work revolves around my animals and those in my care. Not only am I available for special needs pets but any life stage or temperment animal. We frequently hike, walk and train. We are a home with structure suited for any tempermant or energy level of dog. I have one pet friendly, well trained German shepherd in my home as well as the occasional foster pup. We have a small but quaint fenced in back yard, multiple large crates if needed for your pup and spare rooms to keep them separated if necessary. I do not leave treats, toys or food out with multiple animals without supervision.
About: I have always had a dog in my life, which has given me a lifelong love for caring for animals. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like family, not just as a job. I make sure their needs are met and that they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I am also very patient with shy or nervous dogs and take the time to help them feel comfortable and build trust. I plan on dog sitting/ walking during all my breaks from school. I am free everyday during those breaks. The only thing that would get in my way is volleyball practices, but these are only 2 hours and not a daily thing. I make sure the pet feels comfortable around me and welcomes me into their house. If the pet is at my house I will also be welcoming and make sure they adapt to the environment.
About: I grew up with dogs around in my parents home. Then I bought my baby 8 years back, he is the love of my life. I was scared to keep him anywhere that’s when I decided there might be many parents who have the same feeling and I decided to start dog sitting. Now I have another 1.5 years old baby too I would prefer dog that needs potty breaks morning, afternoon and evenings on week days. Weekends is fine as I am home mostly except few Have a fenced yard , I have a 8 year dog and 1.5 year boys with whom they can run around in our big yard and my babied are sneaker so I am extra careful. Parents needn’t we worried at all I will keep them exactly like my fur babies !

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Dodds
About: My husband Jeff and I have 2 dogs and no kids. Our dogs are our kids! Our dogs are about 2 years old and get along well with other dogs. Both of us grew up with dogs and have had dogs that are both young and senior. We give our dogs lots of time and attention. We are responsible pet owners and believe in keeping them healthy, loved, safe, and part of our pack! I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in). Our dogs are about 3 years old and get along well with other dogs. They love to play and are free to move in the house and the yard, and they get regular walks. Dogs are allowed on furniture. We would love to be your pet sitter while you are away, and you can be confident your doggie will be happy, safe and loved!

I have been doing this completely full time since Jan 2022 and I absolutely love it! ⭐️ Private Room ⭐️ 12x20 (240 square foot) 🤩 ⭐️ No kennel or crate (unless requested) ⭐️ Unlimited play time! ⭐️ Comfy beds and lots of toys to choose from ⭐️ Clean and sanitized after every stay ⭐️ 24/7 surveillance in the room 🐶 Schedule a meet and greet with your pup or come check it out for yourself 😊 Pets are just like our children. When I go out of town I hate worrying if my babies are taken care of, I know how important our pets are and I promise to keep them safe, well fed and happy while you’re away. My home is your pets home! I also have a 4ft fenced in yard. I never leave your dog unattended outside and if your pet may jump the fence I have a tie-out option Your fur babies will feel right at home that’s my mission.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion for dogs and my extensive experience in providing exceptional care. With over 3 1/2 years of employment at a reputable dog kennel, I've honed my skills in understanding canine behavior and ensuring their well-being. As an experienced walker, I am equipped to provide your furry friend with the exercise and attention they deserve. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic romp in the park, I tailor each walk to suit your dog's individual needs and energy level. Moreover, my track record of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes speaks to my versatility and adaptability. From playful puppies to wise seniors, I've handled them all with patience, kindness, and expertise. Additionally, I've provided house sitting services for family friends and coworkers, further demonstrating my reliability and trustworthiness. When you entrust your beloved companion to my care, you can rest assured that they will receive the utmost love, attention, and respect. I am committed to ensuring their happiness and well-being, making me the ideal choice for your pet-sitting needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, especially as a college student. I prioritize my furry friend's needs by dedicating my weekends entirely to them. With my flexible schedule, I am available all day Saturday and Sunday, ensuring ample time for walks, playtime, grooming, and cuddles. Additionally, during winter break, I have even more availability to shower my pet with attention and care. Whether it's keeping them company, maintaining their health with regular check-ups, or simply enjoying each other's company, I make sure my pet receives the love and care they deserve, integrating them into my life in the best possible way. In both my own home and when providing services at clients' residences, the safety and well-being of pets are my utmost priority. As an avid pet lover myself, I recognize that each furry companion is an integral part of the family. With this understanding, I wholeheartedly commit to ensuring their safety and happiness. I approach pet care with the same level of diligence and affection as I do with my own pets. Whether it's in my home or a client's, I create a nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. From providing regular walks and play sessions to administering medications or following specific dietary requirements, I tailor my care to meet each pet's unique needs. Rest assured, your beloved pet will receive the same level of attention and affection as if they were my own. By treating them with the utmost respect, care, and love, I strive to build a trusting relationship with both the pets and their owners, ensuring peace of mind for all involved.
About: I grew up with animals and as a parent now love to share my love of animals With my children. I am Flexible and willing to be as accommodating as I possibly can for all the pet owners seeking assistance with their pets. I do this because I know how scary it can be leaving your pet somewhere and not knowing. I also know how scary it can be to leave your pet while you are away. I do my best to stay in contact with all my clients and offer plenty of photos. I am very versatile and have experience with a lot of different pets. I am active and love bringing the pets I care for along with me for walks or out around town (as long as the clients are comfortable) I want their experience in my home and with me to mimic their normal every day routine in their home. I feel that lessens their anxiety. It’s incorporated into my daily as I make adjustments. Normally if I need to go somewhere I am sure that I understand from the owners if their pet is able to stay out or if they would prefer that their pet be put in a safe place so they don’t decide to become mischievous while I run errands. I also offer the opportunity for them to come with me if they enjoy car rides. Again what’s most important to me is keeping the pets routine as closely aligned to their normal routine at home. In order to ensure that the pets I care for are happy and healthy while in my care I am sure to get a clear understanding of how their routine normally works and I ensure that I align their routine at my house to that. This helps alleviate anxiety and fear when being in a new place.

“I would use Aparajita again in the future. She treated my baby like one of her own, even talking care of his itchy paws. I was constantly updated with pictures and messages that explained what they did that day and how she treated the itch. I had a worry free vacation because of her.”
“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Sabrina. She kept our Chesapeake Bay retriever for five days while we attended a funeral. Her home is very nice; her dog runs are covered; and she has artificial grass in the runs, which are adjacent to the house so she can observe them. She has two huge yard areas for dogs to run and play. Most of all, she let our dog inside and treated her as part of her family. My dog was not stressed when she stayed there. Sabrina did not use crates, which is extremely important to me. She followed my dog’s feeding instructions and answered any questions that we had.”
“My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!”

“Derik and Megan were so patient with our St. Bernard and took every step to help her overcome some anxiety issues during her stay with them. They were communicative with us and were knowledgeable about dog behavior which played a role in being able to respond to our dog’s needs. Would absolutely go back to them!”
About: Our home sits on 10 beautiful acres, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, run, and enjoy the outdoors. Set on a charming late-1800s Victorian farm, your pup will be surrounded by peaceful country views and the sights of friendly farm animals. It's a truly special place for dogs to play, relax, and feel right at home. My husband and I have always loved dogs, and we would be honored to care for yours while you're away. Every dog who stays with us receives lots of personal attention, affection, and exercise. We've recently added a brand-new kennel building designed with your dog's comfort and safety in mind, along with a large fenced dog run where they can stretch their legs and have fun. Weather permitting, each dog enjoys 3-4 supervised play sessions every day. Our goal is to provide plenty of both physical exercise and mental stimulation during their stay. Our barn kennels are equipped with dog doors, allowing dogs to move freely between their comfortable indoor kennel and their shaded outdoor run throughout the day until quiet hours. Whether they're playing, relaxing, or simply taking in the country air, your dog will be well cared for and thoroughly loved here. We love giving dogs the opportunity to truly be dogs each day by providing the mental and physical stimulation they need. With plenty of space for fetch, walks, and lots of outdoor fun, every day is an adventure. We offer both structured and unstructured playtime, tailored to each dog's personality and energy level. Structured activities may include fetch, frisbee, water play, leashed walks, tug-of-war, and more. We have recently built a beautiful facility with indoor/outdoor kennels, along with an expansive fenced play area where dogs can run, explore, and have fun. We always ensure that each dog enjoys at least 3-4 long, stimulating play sessions every day (weather permitting).
“Easy to deal with and great communication. The chill atmosphere made it easy for our Mac to transition and hang for a couple days. Will DEFINITELY look to Kathleen & Dave to host Mac again.”
“Our dog Sammy had a great time at Melissa’s! He loved snuggling in their laps and having some fun doggy siblings to play with for the week. She kept me in the loop with what he was up to and took great care of him ☺️”
