“Samson had a great time with Will and Bibiana! We received pictures when we were away and updates. We are looking forward to work with Will and Bibiana again.”
“Laken is incredible. She sent the best updates and pictures while Biscuit was staying with her. I know anytime Biscuit is with Laken he is being well cared for and having the best time.”
“Scott was so wonderful with my kitty, Chester. He took such good care of him! I received daily pictures and updates. He was also very communicative and worked with me on a little later pick up time. Thank you Scott!!”
“Joy filled in when our regular sitter was on vacation and I can’t recommend her enough. We got daily updates (at minimum) and lots of pictures during our dogs’ week-long stay. Communication was great and the dogs were so loved on! She was very accommodating and has a perfect space for pup sitting. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and hope we have another chance!”
“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”
“Abigail was available for an extended week over the holiday with lots of sweet update pictures along the way. Our dogs got along well and to top it off she returned all my dog’s bedding washed and fresh!”
“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.”
“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!”
“I highly recommend Karl! I've used him multiple times over the years, and again I recently left my doberman with him for 3 nights. He is very communicative, caring and reliable. I feel very comfortable leaving my dobi-girl with him at his beautiful dog-friendly place in Clintonville.”
“Our pups had an amazing time! Alex took great care to love them as if they were her own and gave us plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend”
“Deanna provided such a great experience for my fur baby. She was very attentive to her and made her feel right at home. Deanna kept me informed of her progress and provided me with pictures and videos throughout her stay. Deanna’s dogs are very social and well behaved and welcomed my dog into their little pack. I could tell my Sofee had the time of her life. I would definitely rebook with Deanna.”
“Michelle and Justin were great! They kept me up to date with pictures of Bennie throughout his stay! Bennie usually doesn’t eat well when in an unfamiliar place but he must have been so comfortable he had no issues this time!”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. She allowed extra time for pickup when our flight got in late. She kept us updated and sent pictures of Blue throughout his stay. I will definitely book with Amy again!”

“It was such a relief to have Kirsten looking after our cats when we were out of town for a couple weeks. This was our first time finding a sitter through River and we were a bit nervous! She was a great communicator throughout the process and her detailed visit summaries were a highlight of our mornings. We could tell from her photos that our cats had quickly warmed up to her :) She went above and beyond to keep our space tidy by cleaning up after our cats. We really hope she’ll be available next time we are looking for a sitter!”
“Sweet, friendly, and very communicative! She loved on my two kitties so very well while I was out of town, and it made my morning to see her dozens of adorable photos of my two boys 💗 I could tell from her first meeting with me that she absolutely loves pets and that shows through completely in her care. Will definitely rebook her!”
“I’ve booked Jovonna a couple times now and she’s does an amazing job every time. My cats love her and are happy babies when I get home. Jovonna sends lots of updates and pictures while siting. Making it easy to enjoy my time away from my babies while knowing they’re being taken care of.”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She was flexible and accommodating due to unexpected changes in our travel plans, and our cat loved her! She made sure to play with him and sent great photos of the visit. Thank you, Rachel!”
“We have booked with Deanna previously and will be again in the future. Our cats have really warmed up to her and love her visits. It is nice knowing your fur babies are taken care of while you are away.”
“Sam was absolutely fantastic! She was good with communication, and giving my cat the love he needed while I was gone. I will very much use her services again in the future and highly suggest her if you need help.”
“Christi took care of our cat for multiples days ! She was awesome and our cat loved to play with her and her company! She followed all of our instructions and we felt completely confidents to take a trip without feeling worried about it.”
“Iona is a great sitter! This was our second time having her watch our cats, and we’ll book again! She’s responsive and managed both of our cats silly specific needs with ease”
“Savannah was great with our cats and they took to her right away. She did an excellent job keeping us up to date and being adaptable for an extra visit when our flight home was delayed. She even won over our oldest cat who needs medications but gets grumpy about it.”
“We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Ashley on such short notice ahead of the holidays. Our dates were in flux and we couldn't book as far in advance as we would have liked. I was VERY anxious booking someone new for a full week (as our normal sitter was not available) especially given we have a senior cat that requires regular meds, but Ashley did everything in her power to make this paranoid cat mom feel at ease! She stopped by for a meet and greet ahead of the booking. She sent loads of pictures and updates, including regular updates on how my senior boy was doing taking his meds. Both cats seemed very comfortable with her as evidenced by the snuggles my senior cat gave and the very limited number of hisses from our spicy girl. When we got home, the house was in impeccable shape and Ashley even brought in our mail/packages, which I greatly appreciated! We will definitely be rebooking with Ashley next time we need someone to watch the buddies!”
“I recently booked Abby for the first time and will absolutely be using her again! I needed a sitter pretty last minute, and she was super responsive and came over that same night to meet my cat. She was very communicative during her visits and took excellent care of my baby! Abby is the best!!”
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and truly understand their personalities — from the super social to the shy and independent. I’ve cared for many cats over the years, including pet sitting for family and friends. Whether your cat needs playtime, a quiet companion, or just someone to make sure their routine stays stress-free, I’m happy to help. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for.
“Heather is amazing, she’s been our cat sitter for over a year and I can’t imagine trusting our spoiled boy to anyone else! She’s incredibly reliable, punctual, and professional. She sends updates and photos during each visit which is amazing when we’re in the mountains and don’t have much service. The fact that we can trust her and enjoy our time off the grid is an amazing piece of mind. We always have something to look forward to when we get back to camp. My cat, Severus, loves her and my husband and I appreciate her greatly! Her response time is amazingly fast as is her attention to detail. Thank you Heather for being our go to!”
“Tamara is so wonderful with our cat — he gets so much attention and play time during her visits and we love getting her detailed updates about his food, water, litter boxes, and cute jokes about how he is doing while we are gone. It goes a long way towards making travel less stressful for all of us.”
About: I had a Rottweiler for 8.5 years, I lost him 8/23/2024. I currently dog sit every once in a while for my granddog Odie and sister in law's dog Bandit. Photos in profile. I work from home 4 days a week. So pets can normally go out at any time. The one day I go to the office it is an 8 hour day. Walking would be after 5:30 pm. I have fenced in back yard. No other pet at this time. I can walk your dog in a pet friendly neighborhood. I am comfortable with all size dogs.
“Taylor clearly intuitively understands cats/animals and is very diligent about providing daily feedback. I have been able to truly relax on my vacation, with confidence Clem is being well cared for. Thank you, Taylor! 🫶🏻❤️”
“Melanie did a fantastic job watching our cats! She was very attentive to our cat who requires special care as well as our more skittish cat, and sent lots of updates and photos. It was so easy to communicate with her and she did a wonderful job with everything. Our place was spotless when we returned. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”
“Extremely reliable & so attentive to the needs of my dog and accommodating our busy life!! I’m endlessly grateful for her and her adorable daughter. They’re our number one go to for dog care in Ohio!!”
“Will and Bibiana were absolutely amazing with Milo. They made me feel so comfortable that he would be taken care of and loved just as if he were home with me. They provided lots of pictures and took Milo on lovely long walks in nature!”
“Highly recommend Sally! Sally took great care of Shaggy! He loved playing and we got so many great pictures of him! Shaggy will definitely be staying with Sally again.”
“Brian helped us out with short notice when we needed someone to watch our pup Hank for a few hours while we attended an event. He was an excellent communicator and sent so many cute pics! Hank went right to sleep after he got home as he was tired out from playing with his new friends and running around the fenced in yard. Highly recommend Brian. We will definitely be using him again!”

About: I have extensive experience in geriatric and special needs care. I've given injections, medicine, eye drops, ect. and I'm not afraid to learn more special care for your pet! I'm currently working from home and am able to care for your pet most of the day. We don't travel much and like doing house work/projects so we are home most of the time. We have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run, play, and potty. We have an assortment of dog rope toys and tennis balls, a variety of treat types, a large dog bed, and an XL dog crate if needed.
About: I love animals! What else is there to say? All sizes, shapes, temperaments......I used to work at the Humane Society, have fostered dogs and cats and had many animals growing up - fish, hamsters, rabbits, cats and dogs... I have some training in animal intuition and energy healing and I love giving Love...I live alone and am looking at getting a dog in the future but I travel a lot. Also I live in an apt and I can take most any pets except ones who bark at all as I have neighbors on both sides and dogs I. A new environment tend to bark at the strange new things often, so if they bark at all, unfortunately I cannot take them. Looking forward to meeting your baby! My apt is pretty small (400sq ft on the first floor) but any animal guest is welcome to stay wherever they want to hang out - couch or comfy carpeted upstairs floor and since I’m 6’ ft tall - Great Danes welcome! Please let me know any needs and/or special requests....so you can bet I've heard them all! I work from home so my availability is very flexible. He/she can work along side me and I take many breaks to pet and cuddle! I am only available for walks and drop-in visits Wednesday and Sunday afternoon/evenings and Friday evenings. I have a small yard that opens to woods in the back. Sometime I work outside so can stay with him/her while they are chilling outside. I can also crate them when at home or away, whatever is needed and they are used to.
“Ginny always has a great time at Sean’s house. He’s very attentive and has plenty of very good dog friends for Ginny to hang out with. Nice big yard for her to run around in when the weather is nice. Well definitely book with Sean again.”
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
About: Hi there! I’m Awia, and I’ve had around 25 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs and cats, and I currently have a sweet Pekingese named Peking along with two cats, Lolli and Ashley. They’re all friendly, gentle, and used to having new furry friends around. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs at various animal shelters over the years—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have six wonderful children who absolutely adore animals. They’re gentle, respectful, and regularly nominated for Kindness Awards at their school. Your pet will receive extra love, attention, and cuddle sessions from them—helping your furry family member feel right at home. I’m currently working on my nonprofit organization, and during my downtime I’ve chosen to walk dogs and care for animals. It’s such a fun and rewarding way to spend the day—you get to hang out with adorable pups, enjoy some exercise, and soak up the sunshine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m fortunate to live within a beautiful nature preserve and park system. This means your pup can enjoy walks along scenic, well-maintained paths with plenty of fresh air and minimal street traffic. If boarding, I’ll make sure your dog gets regular, safe walks and plenty of attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. All of my personal pets—Peking, Lolli, and Ashley—are up to date on vaccinations, and are on flea and heartworm prevention medication. For the safety and comfort of all animals, I kindly ask that visiting pets are also clean and flea-free. If a pet arrives needing a bath, I’m happy to provide one, and a pet bath fee will be added to your booking. This ensures a fresh, healthy, and pleasant environment for everyone.
“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
“Kyla is AMAZING! My husband and I were in need of a sitter last minute and Kyla was quick to respond and super great at updates and communication. Our dog has been shedding a lot lately and Kyla took the time to groom her which was so kind! I can’t recommend Kyla enough for your dog sitting needs 🐶!”
“My dog had a great time with Jodi and her family! Clem felt right at home and received excellent care and attention. Communications from Jodi were prompt and frequent. I highly recommend her!”

“Today was Mochi’s first time staying with Ronald, and he did an amazing job taking care of her. He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared for her well-being. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Mochi was in good hands. I would definitely trust Ronald to watch her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Mary was fantastic and took such good care of Archie! He played HARD with another puppy there and slept like a baby when he got home. He had so much fun! Thank you for watching him!”

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5! After college I adopted my own dog who passed away at 15. I’ve pet sit for various friends and family members and have experience with dogs 6 pounds to 80! I currently teach yoga, am in graduate school, and freelancing. My schedule is rather flexible which allows me to add this into my daily schedule. At this time, I’m not inviting pets into my home. If I have regular clients whose pets I get to know, I will be open to in the future. Since I have a cat, I want to ensure the comfortability of both pets.
“John met us on his own time to get acquainted to the house and acclimated with the dogs. One of our dogs was very shy but John took the time and care to get her warmed up to him so she could comfortably walk with them. He's been on time every day and willing to work with our schedule even if there are last minute changes. You can tell he is doing this because he really enjoys and cares about the animals. Make sure to book him quick if he's still available!”
“Rachel did an amazing job! She went above and beyond and our dog absolutely loved her! We absolutely adored all the great pictures she took of their walk together and she was very thoughtful!”
“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”
About: House with a large fenced in back yard. 2 dogs and a cat in the house that are good with other dogs. Have experience with giving any sort of meds your dog may require. I currently work full time in office but am home by 3 every day. Dogs can be taken on multiple walks around the neighborhood each day or they can enjoy the fenced in backyard. I have a large fenced in yard and also live in a neighborhood that is great for going on long walks. Dogs are allowed on bed and furniture.
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of tons of furry (and scaly) friends over the years. It warms my heart to provide all that I can for any pet. I have my own babies at home, as well as taking care of friends’ and families’ as well. I would be happy to offer that same care to any pet. Pets are incredibly special and important to me. I take great pride in committing deeply to assuring their safety and care while under my supervision.

This is the first time someone other than family has watched our dog and I was nervous about using a service like this and having to choose someone I didn’t know. Rayann was so warm and helpful from the beginning. She was really helpful and flexible on drop off and pickup times due to my schedule and flight changes. She sent multiple updates with pictures throughout the week letting me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed very happy and well taken care of. I would recommend Rayann and will book with her in the future.”
“I felt very confident leaving Bella with Leslie. She seemed quite knowledgeable and took very good care of her. She sent lots of updates and pictures. I would definitely use Leslie again in the future for Bella!”
