“Kaitlyn was great for the 8 days we was on vacation she kept in contact with me everyday and went me picture's, it was such a relief to see that he was in good hands as it was our first time doing this stuff it was scary, but she was a tremendous relief of how she handled our pup and took great care if him. We will definitely be using her all the time now!”
“Very responsive and sent many pictures of the dogs. Ares, being a large puppy, is a lot, but Jeanne was so kind to take him in and watch my pups. I would recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone in the area and would book again with her if needed!”
“Katherine was an amazing sitter! She made sure to send updates on how my cat was doing as well as pictures and she responded very quickly if I had any questions. Will definitely be rebooking !”
“If there was a rate of 10 stars Briana would get it! The communication is fabulous along with the pictures of our sweet Samoyed with her family and their dog, Duke. We are at easy knowing our sweet boy is being well taken care of when we travel.”
“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Amanda and her kids were very attentive to my dogs needs and took really great care of them. Amanda always responded when I messaged her about the dogs and sent me pics of their stay. I know my dogs can be alot to handle and I truly commend Amanda for taking care of my two dogs ontop of taking care of her 3 children! I was very pleased with how everything went. One of her children even sent my dogs home with a toy that was handmade for him! I highly recommend Amanda to sit your dogs they will be well taken care of!”
“Jennifer is top notch! My dogs were picked up happy and healthy! She took them on several walks and kept us updated with pictures. She is definitely dependable and trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate to leave them there again! Thanks Jennifer!”
“Daniel and Rachel are always so accommodating and sends us many photos and videos of our Yote playing. He's always so happy to visit and pooped when we bring him home.”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“Margaret and Dermott kept our chocolate lab for us while we were away. They sent us pictures and daily updates on how he was doing. It was so reassuring to know he was in great hands! We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. I have a fenced in back yard and a puppy who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.

“Jeanne is always attentive to our fur babies, is a great communicator, and follows our directions well. We can travel with a clear mind and know our fur babies are being taken care of.”
“Meghan was absolutely amazing!! She was very attentive and went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her services again! I love how much my cats enjoyed being with her and how sweet she was with them! Definitely a kind soul and a great animal person!❤️🙏”
“Tori is such a delight. She eased our mind about our one problem child pup that likes to chew couches while we’re gone. She was fantastic and very timely on showing up as well as keeping us updated on what was going on. She sent lots of pics of all the kids and we felt very comfortable with her being in our home while we were gone. We will definitely use her again next month when we go out of state for a few days. Highly recommend.”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have pets. I truly love caring for pets of all kinds. Dogs, cats, fish, etc... My schedule is extremely flexible, so I'm able to fit into whatever time slot is needed to best care for your pet, and keep them on a schedule. I feel the best way to care for pets is to earn their trust. It's never a good idea to force yourself on a pet, but to read their body language and take it from there.
About: I’ve been dog/pet sitting for nearly 20 years. I’ve handled dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds and have cared for a number of other animals including cats, ferrets, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even goats! While they are God’s creation, I am not a fan of snakes… I have a flexible, work-from-my-phone career so I can manage my schedule accordingly. I do quite a bit of travel and can be available in different cities when I’m traveling! I do not care for pets in my home at this time. In my clients’ homes, I follow their protocol to ensure the animal is comfortable while their person is not home.
“Loved knowing that our little sweeties were being taken care of and loved on while we were out of town. The check-in notices and photos were an added bonus. Communication with Olivia was super quick and she was responsive to questions. We’d hire olivia again in a minute!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away. I’m currently a full-time college student at Ohio University, so taking care of pets is more of a weekend or holiday gig for me! I could fit a daily walk in to my schedule too! However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.
“Highly recommend! I’m new to the area and needed my cats watched for thanksgiving week and she was quick to respond and took amazing care of my cats. I’m not even back yet and I can tell my cats are happy from the pictures and cat cams. Was such a relief to not have to worry, will definitely book again!”

“Best cat sitter I’ve ever had. Stephanie is kind-hearted and ao sweet with my 2 cats. They connected with her immediately. You can quickly tell when someone is an “animal person” and she definitely is. Stephanie shows up on schedule, communicates promptly and is very responsible. Highly recommended. 🩷”
About: I aim to be your dog's new favorite person (after you, of course). I am a certified professional dog trainer with a specialization in timid and fearful dogs. I have worked with hundreds of owners over the last 5 years, helping them solve behavior issues from barking to pulling and stealing food off the table. Before that, I was a reptile hobbyist who bred Tokay Geckos, believe it or not (they're called the pitbulls of the gecko world because they bite and don't let go)! So hard-to-love animals are my bread and butter. As a behavior specialist and a certified trainer, I know how to act around any dog. Yes, even the really ornery ones. I am patient, I never yell, and if you have a doggie cam, you might catch some of the entertaining antics I pull to keep your dog safe and happy. I use the LIMA model - Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. What this means is, I will never force your animal to do something they don't want to do. My goal is to build trust so that your animal will be able to adapt easily without you there and will learn to trust other humans as well. Because I am a behavior specialist, I know what *NOT* to do, so that you don't come back to a dog that was worse off than when you left! Oh, and I'm also an artist, so a sketch or portrait of your dog is not off the table! I love drawing pictures for my clients. When I'm not painting or cleaning, I'm either training my dog, or coaching people virtually to train theirs. I am currently working Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays as a virtual dog trainer, but Sun/Mon/Tue/Thur are up for grabs! My dog Jigen is a very well-behaved pup. We don't have a fenced in yard so I take her out on a leash, or use a tie-out with supervision. She eats her meals out of puzzle toys and she gets brushed every evening. I work on her nails twice a week to make sure she tolerates me clipping them. She is free to roam inside all day and night, but I do put her in the crate when we leave the house (just in case).

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

About: Hi, I’m Jamie, and I’m thrilled to bring my love for animals and my 18 years of experience as a Registered Nurse to the world of pet care. I know that your pets are more than just animals—they’re family. That’s why I offer personalized pet boarding and professional dog walking services tailored to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. I take a very limited number of animals at one time so that your Furry family member will become a member of our family while they’re here! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of trust and reliability when it comes to caring for your pets! Whether it’s a cozy staycation while you’re away or a fun-filled walk to keep them active, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. ** at this time I cannot accept intact male dogs** thank you for your understanding! I work part time, I am home the majority of most days so chances are I will have availability for you! I am flexible with days and times! Last minute plans? No problem! I have a large fenced in 1/2 acre partially wooded dog run. I have multiple sized crates and smaller fenced in areas as well with plenty of space for you pooch!
About: I’m a recent college graduate who loves dogs even more than people! I recently lost my puppy due to bone cancer he developed early on in his life. I’ve been around big and small dogs almost my entire life and would love to get to interact with more puppies (I always call dogs puppies because I see all dogs as puppies lol). Since I was a kid I’ve always felt I’ve had a deep connection to dogs and have always been able to understand what they need and want. Whether the dogs need a bath or need to go on a walk every hour on the hour I’m up for the commitment. I’m not afraid of dogs of any size and I’m ready to give my love and compassion to as many dogs as I possibly can. I work from home so I can essentially work from home anywhere as long as there is wifi available. I would like to begin with 2 days a week and if I feel the schedule and chemistry is right I could increase the days. I’m very good with dogs and if they are already on a schedule, I am happy to keep them on it. I’m a very big cuddled especially with dogs so I would mostly sit on a couch or table and keep an eye on the pet while I work and if there’s a communicative sign that they need to go outside I will take them right out. I am not on a tight schedule so I can take your pet out as often as they need.
“Nathan was great with communicating! He sent lots of pictures and videos and even recorded the walks they had. Nathan was very patient and helpful with Dug. I will definitely use him in the future!”

“Abi was so great with my little buddy! So very accommodating even tho my work hours can change and I work long late shifts. She made sure he stayed warm and even tried to protect his little feet from the cold. She even made him a fancy little collar necklace. Thank you for loving my baby too!”
“Maya did a great job with Merlin. Not only did she take good care of him but gave him some much needed play time. She even found some new food for him that he loves. Maya went above and beyond.”

“I hate to repeat myself, but I can't say enough great things about Briana. She goes above and beyond in every way each time Libbie visits. During the stay, I receive updates with cute photos and videos about how she is doing. It is obvious my dog is genuinely loved. Her assistant, Duke, is a gentle, big boy. Libbie loves hanging with him. He seems to know exactly what play style to provide. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book with Briana. If you are looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further. BUT know I will be super upset if you take my next booking spot!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but finally in first grade I got one of my own. He was around 3 when we got him and now is an old man who needs help sometimes even if he doesn’t want it. I also have another pup who is now 3. I house broke him and taught him a few tricks. I have had to give medicine from time to time. I watch my neighbors dog who needs medicine. I’m currently in high school. However on Tuesday/Thursday I don’t go to school til 10:20 so I would be back with your animals after 2:44. The other days I’m gone from 8-2:44. I am involved in after school activities but I would be able to let them out before going to those. I will follow what you tell me. I mostly like staying with the animals so they aren’t alone most of the time. I might spoil them a little too much while you are away though!
About: I've been around animals my whole life and I am the designated sitter among my friends and family. I have experience caring for all kinds of different dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Taking care of your pets while you are away is my top priority and I will adjust my schedule as needed! I am happy to care for your fur babies in my home or yours! I have a beagle who absolutely adores other animals so your pet will have a playmate if you decide to have them stay with me at my home!
“Without hesitation, without any doubt I would have Kelly watch our fur babies again! We have two terrier/yorkie mixes. Our girl is very anxious and timid, especially around strangers. However, at our very first meet BOTH our dogs allowed Kelly to pet them and walk them. There are just certain people that animals gravitate to and just know that they have that kindness about them-Kelly is one of those people!”
About: I have taken care and loved animals for as long as I can remember walking. Young, old, on a diet? I can do it all! I am a full time student at Youngstown State University. I currently am on summer break, and free about all week except for weekends. There is lots of space for pets to run on our property, and I will be attentive at all times! I have watched dogs at others houses for years, along with taking care of my own animals at home! I have administered medication intake for animals, followed strict diets, and made sure they all get their energy out! I prioritize making sure the pets feel safe in the environment as my biggest heartbreak is an animal's sadness!
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals Family and friends have relied on me to help feed, bath, and walk their beloved pets I have a very open schedule I can stop by and check up on animals multiple times a day we can always work it out to make the times work for the both of us My home we do have animals so dogs can play with our dogs here and at the pet parents home it really depends on how their dogs daily schedule is
About: I've taken care of different animals my whole life. I have personal experience taking care of my senior dog that was blind. During that time,I learned how to give oral medications and instill eye drops. Safety was a main priority. My house looked like an obstacle course, with cushions and pillows around anything he could run into, baby gates at the stairs, etc,but it was all for the love of my dear Comet. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats as well. Whether it was a drop in visit, a walk, a bath or an over night stay, etc; I enjoyed every bit of it. Animals have my heart, even if they are not my own. They are my escape and bring me so much joy and happiness. With todays society and how some people treat animals, I believe us animal lovers need to come together and give every animal that we can the love and treatment they deserve. That is why I would be a good choice to care for your family member, I would treat them as if they were my own. I currently work a full time job from home. I work 7am to 3:30 pm. I have every weekend off. I could easily have your dog at my home for the day or do drop in visits and walks after 3:30. If I do services at my home, I have a big back yard,where I will have a fenced in play area so your dog can play freely. I also have a large back deck that can be enclosed with baby gates. I have a 4 year old male Maltese Yorkie, I love spending time outside with him, especially in the summer months, so that is most likely where we would be. There is an umbrella on the deck and a large tree that provides plenty of shade. I also have a baby pool that is always filled with fresh water,so they will be able to take a dip to cool off or play ,along with a sprinkler that my dog loves to play in. There is also a long gravel driveway next door to me that leads to a farm that I can take your dogs for walks on. My home is clutter free and smoke free. Nothing is out that my dog could get into and potentially cause harm. For dog walking, I ask that your dog has a harness and a reliable leash. There are a few places that I take my dog for walks. Those include, Mosquito Lake, Buhl Park , a development that my parents live in and a development my boyfriends mother lives in. I am very familiar with all of these locations. Mosquito Lake also has a dog park that I could take your dog to ,if you would like. If there is an area your dog is familiar with and has been to or if you live in a development , I would be more than happy to walk them there. I stay alert and always stay aware of my surroundings. During transportation to and from anywhere, I have a backseat barrier in my car. I am all about keeping my dog and others pets safe, so whatever I can do to achieve that is what I will do. For drop in visits, I ask for details about your pets needs and what needs to be done. During my visits I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will spend time with them and give them the attention they need before I leave.
“They are amazing! If I could give them 10 Stars I would! Great with my two babies.... A 45 lb Great Dane/boxer mix and an 85 lb American bully. Punctual, reliable, would highly recommend them to anyone!!!! ❤️”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have pets. I truly love caring for pets of all kinds. Dogs, cats, fish, etc... My schedule is extremely flexible, so I'm able to fit into whatever time slot is needed to best care for your pet, and keep them on a schedule. I feel the best way to care for pets is to earn their trust. It's never a good idea to force yourself on a pet, but to read their body language and take it from there.
About: I grew up on a farm with a lot of animals, so I have been able to tend to animals both old and young, large and small my whole life. When I was 15, I started my own business back home dog watching nearly every weekend through highschool. I am currently taking classes during the week, which will take up no more than 3 hours of my time during the day. Whatever instruction you give me, I will make it work. I love cuddles from pets and will always stick to their schedule. I love going for walks, taking them for car rides and making sure they don’t just lay around all day. I am a full time student, and currently am not working aside from pet sitting when I can. My schedule is very flexible, so I am willing to work with the needs of any pet. I will follow any instruction left by my clients. If allowed, I like to take dogs for car rides and to go for walks in various places (I.e. the beach, parks, etc.) For higher energy pets, I make sure to take them on longer walks, have more play time, and ensure to get some energy out if I have to leave for a small amount of time.
About: I’ve been dog/pet sitting for nearly 20 years. I’ve handled dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds and have cared for a number of other animals including cats, ferrets, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even goats! While they are God’s creation, I am not a fan of snakes… I have a flexible, work-from-my-phone career so I can manage my schedule accordingly. I do quite a bit of travel and can be available in different cities when I’m traveling! I do not care for pets in my home at this time. In my clients’ homes, I follow their protocol to ensure the animal is comfortable while their person is not home.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away. I’m currently a full-time college student at Ohio University, so taking care of pets is more of a weekend or holiday gig for me! I could fit a daily walk in to my schedule too! However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.

At my home, we have a fenced in yard to keep our pets safe and a separate area of the house away from my children where they are free to get on the couches and play.

“Kaitlyn was great for the 8 days we was on vacation she kept in contact with me everyday and went me picture's, it was such a relief to see that he was in good hands as it was our first time doing this stuff it was scary, but she was a tremendous relief of how she handled our pup and took great care if him. We will definitely be using her all the time now!”
“Very responsive and sent many pictures of the dogs. Ares, being a large puppy, is a lot, but Jeanne was so kind to take him in and watch my pups. I would recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone in the area and would book again with her if needed!”
“Katherine was an amazing sitter! She made sure to send updates on how my cat was doing as well as pictures and she responded very quickly if I had any questions. Will definitely be rebooking !”

“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”

“Daniel and Rachel are always so accommodating and sends us many photos and videos of our Yote playing. He's always so happy to visit and pooped when we bring him home.”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“Margaret and Dermott kept our chocolate lab for us while we were away. They sent us pictures and daily updates on how he was doing. It was so reassuring to know he was in great hands! We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. I have a fenced in back yard and a puppy who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.
