We can’t say enough about how great Dawn was with our two little dogs. They stayed with her for the first time for 5 days at the end of April. Since both are senior dogs, one is 16 and one is 14, we were a little concerned about how well they would do. And unfortunately, one morning, one of the dogs woke up having some rather serious issues. But Dawn was right on it! She immediately put him in the car and rushed him to MedVet, as we would have done. She called us on the way there, very calmly explained the situation and continued to keep us informed the entire time. She brought him home with medication and continued to give it to him until we could return the following day. All in all, as scary as it was, we couldn’t have asked for anyone to be more attentive or caring. We will definitely be leaving our two dogs with her again and have learned to trust that she is a true and kindhearted dog person. And by the way, all turned out well.

Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!

About: Reliable dog care from a boarding kennel worker with hands-on experience in daily care, routines, and behavior. Beginning AKC training soon. With some veterinary experience as well. I have a flexible schedule as a full-time student, so I can stop by before or after classes for walks, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and other care needs. I’m happy to help with weekend visits and can do overnight stays when possible. I’m comfortable traveling up to about 25 miles for pet care. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving plenty of attention, love, and consistency. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, following each pet’s routine for meals, bathroom breaks, play, and rest. I’m attentive to behavior, health, and individual needs, and I make sure pets feel secure, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. My reliability, patience, and flexibility help me provide personalized care that puts both pets and owners at ease.

About: With over 15 years of hands on experience fostering more than 80 dogs, I've cared for puppies, seniors, medical cases, and dogs needing extra patience, confidence building, and socialization. Every dog is an individual, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personality and routine. I actively train (and occasionally compete) in agility, herding, trick training, scent and others with my dogs as well as helping introduce others to CPE Agility as an instructor at Clermont County Dog Training Club. This experience has given me a strong understanding of canine body language, safe introductions, and enrichment. I provide a calm, home based boarding experience with plenty of individual attention. I'm comfortable administering most medications, happy to follow your dog's routine, and require a meet-and-greet before every first stay. To ensure personalized care, I accept a maximum of two guest dogs (40 lbs or less) at a time. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. Guest dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to step out, all dogs are safely crated for everyone's security. Outside breaks are offered every 2–3 hours (or more often if needed), with plenty of opportunities for sniffing, play, and relaxation. Most days include two walks, enrichment activities, and, when weather permits, a longer hike or adventure around the adjoining 150-acre property using secure long lines. Dogs who enjoy the water may also have the opportunity to splash in the pond or explore the creek with owner approval. Every dog's activity level is adjusted based on their age, fitness, personality, and your preferences. Your dog's safety and comfort always come first. Every new guest is required to complete a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone is a good fit. Because my own dogs share the home, I look for guests who are dog-friendly or dog-tolerant. New dogs are introduced gradually, and crate-free time with my dogs only happens after I've assessed everyone's comfort and temperament. Dogs are continuously supervised while together, and I carefully manage interactions to keep the environment calm and positive. My home features approximately half an acre of securely fenced outdoor space, along with access to 150 acres for on-leash adventures. Guest dogs are never off leash outside the fenced yard; long lines are always used when exploring. Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I'll happily follow your household routines and care instructions to help your dog feel at home. Please note this is a hobby farm with chickens and sheep on the premise. They will be secured away from the guest dogs.

I don't have a fenced in yard but I have enough yard for any dog. I will be able to accept more than one family's dog at a time but, only up to 3 and only if the others pet is pet friendly.

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.

About: Hi! I'm Gwen, a lifelong dog lover and proud dachshund mom. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. I have experience with small breeds, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs that need extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of love, communication, and one-on-one care I provide. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and your time away stress-free. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a dachshund owner, my days revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I take time to learn each pet's personality, habits, and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them feeling secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

To ensure personalized care, I accept a maximum of two guest dogs (40 lbs or less) at a time. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. Guest dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to step out, all dogs are safely crated for everyone's security. Outside breaks are offered every 2–3 hours (or more often if needed), with plenty of opportunities for sniffing, play, and relaxation. Most days include two walks, enrichment activities, and, when weather permits, a longer hike or adventure around the adjoining 150-acre property using secure long lines. Dogs who enjoy the water may also have the opportunity to splash in the pond or explore the creek with owner approval. Every dog's activity level is adjusted based on their age, fitness, personality, and your preferences. Your dog's safety and comfort always come first. Every new guest is required to complete a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone is a good fit. Because my own dogs share the home, I look for guests who are dog-friendly or dog-tolerant. New dogs are introduced gradually, and crate-free time with my dogs only happens after I've assessed everyone's comfort and temperament. Dogs are continuously supervised while together, and I carefully manage interactions to keep the environment calm and positive. My home features approximately half an acre of securely fenced outdoor space, along with access to 150 acres for on-leash adventures. Guest dogs are never off leash outside the fenced yard; long lines are always used when exploring. Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I'll happily follow your household routines and care instructions to help your dog feel at home. Please note this is a hobby farm with chickens and sheep on the premise. They will be secured away from the guest dogs.

About: Reliable dog care from a boarding kennel worker with hands-on experience in daily care, routines, and behavior. Beginning AKC training soon. With some veterinary experience as well. I have a flexible schedule as a full-time student, so I can stop by before or after classes for walks, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and other care needs. I’m happy to help with weekend visits and can do overnight stays when possible. I’m comfortable traveling up to about 25 miles for pet care. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving plenty of attention, love, and consistency. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, following each pet’s routine for meals, bathroom breaks, play, and rest. I’m attentive to behavior, health, and individual needs, and I make sure pets feel secure, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. My reliability, patience, and flexibility help me provide personalized care that puts both pets and owners at ease.

About: My first job was cleaning dog kennels at age 8, I spent 6 years after high school managing a dog daycare and boarding facility, and the last 3 years as a dog handler for a geese management. I am certified in canine and feline first aid and CPR, as well as administering medication. I am also experienced in dog training. Not only can I keep them healthy but happy and active with lots of love and playtime and enrichment activities. There is no animal I don’t adore, big or small, grumpy or crazy, young or old. Allow me to give you confidence and comfort in your absence while I care for your furbabies. Please provide food if scheduled to eat while with me and a collar with your name and number on it. I respect boundaries of all pets and clients, as well as trying to go above and beyond with service of all parties. I can do extra services upon request. My schedule would revolve around my clients schedule. My day is already dictated by my animals at home with around the clock care. I am very flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of the animals I’m providing care for. I try to stay as true to the routine they are use to, as well as provide extra activities and stimulation to enrich their time with me. I want them to be excited to come back!

About: Most of my pet care has consisted of looking after my late, elderly, miniature schnauzer. Since then I have enjoyed helping my family take care of two, 2 year old Australian Shepherd mixes. I’ve also used Trusted Housesitters and cared for two German shepherds and two bengal cats on multiple occasions. My schedule allows for me to change my routine as needed. I understand pets have routine and may need to be on a regular schedule. I can care for your pets in your home by following their routines, entertaining and playing with them, and giving them love and attention. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time.

About: As your pet's second best friend, I offer tailored care, genuine love, and a paw-sitively unforgettable experience! I am well educated in dog training, ensuring they’re mentally and physically stimulated, to overall pet health. I take care of my dog to the fullest extent, your dog will be treated all the same as a new member of the pack! To ensure safety and health, we don’t play right after eating to avoid bloat, I am very conscious of heat on their paws when walking on different surfaces, I avoid rawhide treats and go with homemade or very natural treats instead, and those are just scratching the surface of do’s and don’ts! I keep a structured but flexible routine, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency. I prioritize walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and lots of playtime and enrichment. I’m home often and very intentional about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog needs structure, cuddles, or high energy engagement, I adapt to their personality and routine to make their stay feel as close to home as possible! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a well-socialized dog, Dilo, who has a background in working in high stress environments to not be reactive. Nonetheless, I always do slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If needed, I can crate or provide separate spaces for rest and decompression. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, structured environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I closely monitor interactions, follow feeding instructions carefully, and stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they maintain some sense of routine while being away from home.

Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!

About: I've had a lot of different breeds around me growing up and, I love every kind! I've helped family and neighbors growing up. I used to help shelter animals as a volunteer because I have big heart for all animals. Im not currently working right now. So I'm picking this up as a weekly job with full open availability, except for Friday,Saturday and Sunday. I hope to have a pawsome time with your puppy! I don't have a fenced in yard but I have enough yard for any dog. I will be able to accept more than one family's dog at a time but, only up to 3 and only if the others pet is pet friendly. They get let out every other hour to two hours. 2-3 meals a day depending on the dogs diet or size. We also go on walks and play a few hours of the day.

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.
