“Paige was awesome with Sadie. She sent updates and pictures and took care of Sadie like she was part of the family. Paige was also very helpful working with me on drop off and pick up times. She’s definitely going to be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter and I would recommend her to everyone else.”
“Kayla was wonderful, even with me as a last minute, first time rover booker. We are so grateful to have had her watch our precious Milo. She sent update pictures. Was super communicative. Clearly loved on him tons- as he was extra demanding and not appreciative of us working vs playing when we got home lol Will 100% use Kayla again!”

“Ashlee was wonderful with my dogs. She loved on them like they were her own. One was a 5-month old puppy full of energy which required extra attention. She spoiled him and bought him to baby pool as she noticed that he loved water! She also bathe and washed bedding for both dogs before I picked them up. It was so nice not having to clean them when we got home. I highly recommend her if you want a worry free vacation.”

“Ashleigh and Bill took incredible care of my pup while I was out of town for a week. They sent plenty of pictures of him playing with their dogs and made sure I knew he was well taken care of. I would totally recommend them to anyone looking for great care, and to those with dogs that love to play!”
“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”

“This is the first time we have ever boarded a fur baby in someone’s home. We were very nervous. Our dog has stitches and needed meds during his stay and Karin was able to accommodate his needs! She was also awesome at sending us pictures and updates. It was great seeing him having fun! We will definitely be using her again! We will even do some doggy daycare since our dogs are besties now!”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”

She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”

About: I’ve had many pets during my life. I have experience with cats of all ages, and dogs of many sizes. With my own animals, I have experience providing medication like pills and drops. I have slight experience with dog training from classes in college and training my own animals. I work from home and in the evening so my days are often free and I am not needed anywhere. I can work from any place with WiFi. I can provide walks as frequently as needed due to my work from home job. This makes it easy to care for your animals in your home and on their schedules.
About: I've found that a lot of people don't understand cats, let alone understand each cat as an individual. I want to ensure that I give your cat the space to introduce themselves on their own terms, and I want them to feel safe, secure, and comfortable around me so that I may provide the love and attention they deserve!
“This was the first time Laura took care of my kitty, and I couldn’t be happier! My kitty is 19yrs old and kinda high maintenance with all her meds. Laura did a wonderful job and stayed in constant communication!”

About: I grew up on a farm and absolutely adore animals of all shapes, sizes and breeds! I volunteer at the animal shelter and have tons of experience walking, grooming and training dogs! I would love the opportunity to spend some quality time with yours! My husband is military so for me, animals have been the one constant, outside of our kids, that I've had no matter where we are stationed and they bring so much joy and innocence to the world! Dogs are you just so pure and happy and full of tail wags that you can't possibly see one and not want to love on them! Well, at least I can't anyway! I will love your pet like they are my own and they will always get first class treatment!

Typically I’m the morning I am free to walk dogs. Evenings not so much I work late night shifts. I would prefer to walk a couple dogs in the morning. I can feed, walk, let outside, keep an eye on them. I definitely keep a shape eye out for things they eat off the ground. I have no problem cleaning up after dogs. I can drop by when the owner is not home to let the dogs out and back in.
About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my hands-on experience with training and caring for my own dogs. As a proud owner of a Pitbull and a Great Dane, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and how to create a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment for them. My passion for animals goes beyond just feeding and walking – I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away, and I have the skills to provide extra support for pets who might need it. Whether it’s basic obedience or more specialized attention, I bring a personalized approach that makes sure your pet is treated like family. As a student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily accommodate pet boarding any day of the week, or stay at your home to ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have a reliable and caring person looking after your pet, so I make sure to prioritize their needs while balancing my studies. Whether it’s a few hours or several days, I’m here to offer consistent, loving care when it’s needed most. I provide loving, hands-on care for pets both in my own home and in yours. As someone who truly loves spending time with dogs, I make sure they feel right at home by playing with them, cuddling, and offering lots of affection.

I also have patience and understanding for kittens, shy cats, and those who need extra time to warm up.

About: With four years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate pet sitting you can trust. I understand how stressful boarding can be for both pets and their owners, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where your animals feel safe and loved. From energetic puppies to senior pets and those with special health needs, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and conditions. When you can’t be there, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be treated like family—with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I ensure pets are fed on schedule, receive any necessary medications, and get plenty of enrichment and one-on-one attention while I monitor their overall well-being. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide attention tailored to their personality and needs. For cats especially, I prioritize a calm, low-stimulation environment, respecting their boundaries while ensuring they feel safe and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their space clean, follow all instructions closely, and provide daily updates so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away.
About: I have had a dog since I was born! I have been around dog breeds from bassets to Belgian Malinois. I has cared for all kinds of animals from fish to horses! I have helped my mom who was a humane agent so medication administration is not an issue and I won’t charge extra for it! I currently only have a part time job with minimal hours so I have a very open availability. I hope to be able to give your pets all the love and attention I can! I am willing to walk your pups or your cat. I can administer medication as needed as well. I can house sit and will clean your house as well if needed.
About: I grew up with a dog as part of my family my whole life and now have two of my own, raising our GS since a puppy. As a family we enjoy camping, evening walks, playing fetch, and view dog hair as unconditional love! I am currently working part-time therefore available help with all your pet care needs! Please reach out so we can find a time to meet :) I have a fenced in yard with two dog friendly dogs of my own! I am able to crate your furry baby but allow my dogs to roam the whole house.
About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2025 started year five of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. For boarding and daycare we are located on 30 acres in Tipp City, with 6 private fully fenced dog parks to choose from. We have 10 kennels, and pups are kenneled during enrichment and overnight with an on-site team member who stays with them. Disney Channel + YouTube classical music plays while pups rest in their kennels between private park playtime and playgroup. You can find out more information by looking at Blockheads and Bows Pet Services LLC online! Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.
About: I treat every pet like they're my own. I take the time to get to know their personality and comfort needs and give them all the attention they deserve! I work from home so I am available all day. I am very flexible in being able to care for animals as I have 1 dog and 3 cats of my own. I am able to take your pet outside as many times as needed, I am able to give them attention and playtime with my 2 year old french bulldog that loves to play. I can take them on walks on my lunch and or after work! I let him out back and stay out with him as he does not run off but I do have leashes and a yard lead available.

Whether your pet is playful, shy, or full of energy, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making them feel safe and loved. I’m great with daily walks, feeding schedules, cleaning, enrichment, and giving plenty of affection. Your pets will be treated like family, and I’ll make sure you get clear updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and am here 24/7. I have plenty of time to give pets constant attention, playtime, and potty breaks. Since I’m always home, I can easily keep pets on their normal schedule and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout the entire day. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, clean, and very pet-friendly environment. I have a large backyard where pets can play and explore, along with toys, games, and plenty of space to relax.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I love animals and have pet sat for friends and family in their home so as not to stress out their animals. I am happy to either pet sit at your home or take care of your pet at mine. Either way, they will get excellent care. I work from home so I have the ability to work from anywhere as long as there is Wi-Fi. My work schedule is also fairly flexible if need be. I have a fenced in yard and a loving pup who would welcome a playmate. I also can sit in your home as I work from home.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs

About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.

About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 8 so I have experience with all animals of all sizes, breeds, & species, I am often relied to feed, water and care for many animals! i currently work at northmont animal clinic and in the past I’ve worked at dog boarding facilities, some family’s dogs don’t do well outside of their home environment & some people cannot afford to take there dog somewhere, so in my free time aside from farm work I take care of lots of farms as well as household animals. I can stay at the home, or I can travel from my home depending on how far and whatever you are the most comfortable with!
About: Hi, I’m Kate! I’m an old Indiana farm girl that raised and showed cattle and hogs most of my childhood. I am now a career flight attendant with one of the majors. I am Mama to 3 grown girls and Lala to 2 little boys. Let me help you help me! I love animals and spending time with them. I have a very flexible schedule for work and would rather stay home and in the area with my family than travel as much right now. I will follow your instructions as given, always clean up after any animal and be observant of anything else going on in the home as I have been a homeowner for many years. Meticulous tidying skills right here. 😊 Also, if your animal comes to my house, I have a large fenced in backyard for them to jump and play.

I also have graduated as a Veterinary Technician at which I currently work in a veterinary clinic.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had dogs and cats. In my teenage and adult life, neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to care for their fur babies in every way! I dogsit, drop in, feed, and bathe the pets of those who do me the great honor of trusting me with them! I have bathing and grooming skills, and also worked at a pet store for some time, so I professionally cared for pets and assisted customers with any needs! I work part time, and have lots of free time, dedication and life to provide to your furry friend! I would give them all the attention and care they require when you are away! I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room both inside and out for your dog to play. I have two very friendly, playful and well trained small dogs at home who would love to welcome your baby! If needed, I can easily crate your dog or mine if there are any concerns. I always keep a close eye on all the animals under my supervision, and make sure that everyone is happy, safe and well cared for!
About: I have always been a lover of any type of animal, but dogs would have to be my favorite! My entire family has always owned an animal of some sort, and I currently have 2 dogs. I believe that no good will come out of a rushed walk and no enjoyment will come out of one either. Healthy length walks lead to better mental health and well-being for your dog. I can provide leashes and baggies if needed, and as long as there are no specific allergies or rules, I will bring treats along as well. I enjoy animals and the care that is involved in making sure our fur babies are safe and happy! I would love to work with you and your dog! I will be starting back at Sinclair on the 22nd of August, However most of my classes are online, so there will be plenty of time for walks, drop in sits, etc. My family has a huge fenced yard that our two dogs love to sun bathe/play in. The dogs enjoy getting at least 2 walks a day around our neighborhood, sometimes to JDs Frozen Custard for pup cups!🤎
About: I’m not a dog trainer by any means. Dog just seem to like me and want to hang out. I am not scared of dogs any bread or size. I just like giving the dogs some loving and attention. Typically I’m the morning I am free to walk dogs. Evenings not so much I work late night shifts. I would prefer to walk a couple dogs in the morning. I can feed, walk, let outside, keep an eye on them. I definitely keep a shape eye out for things they eat off the ground. I have no problem cleaning up after dogs. I can drop by when the owner is not home to let the dogs out and back in.
