“Kimberely was AMAZING with our energetic pup Mabel. She sent daily updates and videos. Mabel had a great time in her fenced in back yard. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Alycia was great! Our dog Murphy enjoyed his stay and we got great communication the entire time. Will definitely be booking again next time we need to leave town!”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“Such a great sitter!!! Nancy was fantastic with our senior pupp, Domino. Her communication was fantastic, and he kept us fully updated with pictures during his stay. We look forward to booking Nancy to care for Domi during our future travels!”
“Dawn was an excellent host. She has a wonderful house and fenced in yard where the dogs can run around. She has a great dog friendly house where the dogs have many places to sleep and roam around. She is well versed in pet care and comfortable with the dogs. She sends great photos and I always know that my dog is safe with her.”
“I can’t say enough about how great Debbie is. We left two dogs with her. They have such a comfortable home for dogs with ample beds, they have a very secure fenced in backyard, but most of all”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“Josephine was amazing. For sure 10/10. She sent me updates with pictures every single day. She would make treats for her and make her special toys. I know that my dog was so well taken care of— I think it was hard for her to leave Josephine ❤️ we will definitely be using her again when we go on trips! I’m so thankful we found her on here because I really wanted my dog to be as comfortable as possible with us being away from her and I know she was living her best life with Josephine ❤️”
“Tricia watched my 2 cats for a week and a half. She wasn't just a sitter, she LOVED on the kitties and the kitties loved on her and her 2 sweet kids as well! Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”
“Lauren and Wynn took great care of our pup! Communication was terrific with photos and updates shared regularly. They were flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times. And Vivi came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Katie was flexible and accommodating. She was easy to communicate with, and she sent several pictures and updates. We will definitely contact her in the future if we need a sitter :)”
“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“Katie and her family took such good care of our pup! The videos and photos they sent made me confident that I had picked the right person to care for our baby! Would 100% recommend to anyone!”

“I was so grateful to Joanna! She went the extra mile to figure out how to get my cat in, so he could have some outdoor time (staying in causes a lot of problems). He always came right to her. She has the touch. She was consistent with her times, and communicated very well. She was patient with my quirks. I highly recommend Joanna.”
“Had 4 drop in visits for 2 cats over a weekend and was very satisfied; on-time, very knowledgeable, cats liked her, respectful, and did very well. 10/10 would recommend for any pet care needs.”

About: I have 3 personal cats in my life . I also feed all the neighbors kittens near my house. I’m 23 currently and my family has had cats my entire life. I also worked with cats professionally at my first animal care job in 2021
About: I have an enormous amount of experience with animal care. I earned a bachelor's degree in zoology, am a pet groomer (dogs and cats), and have a lot of experience administering medications through my previous job as a zookeeper! I also have two cats of my own that I love dearly, Mochi and Eclair! (Momo and Clair for short)!

About: I have two cats of my own and have grown up around cats my entire life, so caring for cats has always been a huge part of my life. Cats are honestly my favorite animal, and I absolutely adore everything about them. I’m the type of person who will immediately stop to say hi to a cat I see out and about — I genuinely love them that much. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments — from energetic kittens to shy cats to sweet senior cats. I understand their routines, behaviors, body language, and unique needs, and I know how important it is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with cats, whether that means playtime, cuddles (if they’re interested!), keeping routines consistent, or simply giving them space and calm companionship. I treat every cat like they’re my own, and my goal is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while their owners are away! 😽

Perfect for high energy dogs - New Hope
About: Experienced dog owner/pet lover! I have always had an intimacy with the animal world. Pets are family and I enjoy giving dogs lots of affection and good conversation. A good walk and playtime as well.😉 I enjoy spending quality time with dogs...grooming them, walking them, and playing. I grew up with pets in my home ever since I can remember, we had everything from dogs, cats, to a horse. (Even a salamander) I have experience with light training, and giving medications, pill and injections. I'm available weekdays, and weekends are typically open. I would love to build a long term business and achieve great connections with clients and their pets. I'm hoping to meet many great dogs and cats and provide a quality reliable service to areas of Brown County Ohio! Pet Care is my only job so Please don't be afraid to contact me for last minute needs. We just opened our Doggy Cottage so we can take on more dogs than we previously could and it's adorable! We live in a home but also have built a Doggy Cottage so we can board a few more dogs for our clients. Perfect for doggy daycare and boarders that want a small intimate hands on experience for their pups. Scheduled rest, walks and playtime are free for all!
About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.

“Lainey had so much fun playing with Willow and Piper! She was exhausted when she came home from her doggy day care day (goal accomplished;) Heather is wonderful and everything that you could ask for in a doggy sitter! She even brushed Lainey with her furminator! Thank you!”
“This will be the third week in a row that my Roxxie will be attending doggy day care with her two new dog friends in Nancy’s home. It’s so amazing that I can go to work and not have to worry at all if my dogs being well cared for. Nancy is the best!”
About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)
About: What's a life without dogs? My fiance and I took this very seriously and life has quite literally gone to the dogs. We have designed everything in our lives to revolve around ours and our clients dogs from our home to my SUV purchased with dog transportation in mind. We live in between the small towns of Bethel, and Felicity Ohio which gives us access to explore the banks of the Ohio River or the trails and creeks of East Fork Lake with our pets and occasionally the pets that stay with us. I'm a former veterinarian technician who quickly understood that after leaving the field I still needed and wanted to work with animals so I created Louvre where I can offer a safe, relaxing, and structured environment for my pet sitting and grooming clients. I've had pets my entire life and have always aspired to have a career involving pets, and while I loved being a technician the hours made me feel as if my own pets weren't getting the attention that they needed. Pet sitting has allowed me to spend time with my pets and my clients pets full time. I have experience with all ages, all breeds, and a wide variety of temperaments, as well as a keen understanding of canine body Language which allows for me to ensure that while your pet stays with us their needs will be met and their well-being prioritized. We have a fenced in yard were dogs can play while being supervised, two small towns which offer safe areas to walk your pets, and a living space that is accommodating to all pets. Here your pets can lounge on their choice of dog beds, couches ( our dogs have their own.), and plenty of toys to choose from in hopes that their boarding stay will be as comfortable for them as if they were staying at home. I'm currently pet sitting full time. My days revolve around my personal and client dogs. We have plenty of time for play time, snuggles, and anything else that they may need. While your pet is staying with us they will be treated as if they are our own. We tailor each pets stay to the pets individual needs to give then the best experience. We know thar boarding can be stressful for you and your pets and we do everything that we can to minimize that stress for everyone. I'll update you during your pets stay with photos, text, and videos so that you can see how your pet is spending their time here. We also provide everything needed for boarding except for your pets food, medications, supplements, and crate ( if applicable.) We find that this makes traveling easier for you and settling in easier for your pet. Of course you're welcome to bring whatever you'd like with your pet for their stay.
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We moved here to Milford, Cincinnati from Hawaii. Ive taught them, and we all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals for 33 years after) taking care of puppies, adults and senior dogs (a pit bull, a Pekingese, Shih Tzu , then fostered a German Shepard, a Poodle, a black pup Lab), Taken cared of a Golden Retriever, a Pitbull, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around (I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need). Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-8 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, lunch, then around 3-4pm around/after dinner time , and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my child, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. I have taught my children not jump around,not rush, nor scare animals. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them. (Off leash free to run roam inside the house and I have a mini tread mill if outside walks and inside play is not enough). Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an additional fee. Your dog will be loved and have playmates while you are away. My husband Marcus and I will feed and walk your pet. Walking is usually 1 time a day unless other instructions are given. We crate our dogs at night. I work weekends in a hospital. Marcus and our children are home on the weekends. Weekdays we are both home. We provide care and love around the clock. Marcus and/or I will always be there for your loved one. We have a fenced yard and 10 dogs to play with your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your fur baby. If you’re fur baby needs a bath or a groom we could possibly provide that service. We bathe, dry and groom our 7 cocker spaniels, yorkpompoo, and cavalier King Charles spaniel at home.
“Jihting was excellent. Met her & family, including Cupcake, beforehand & she was very understanding of our needs, ensured we knew who would be around, that there would be water, playtime, etc. Would recommend & will use again for Ollie's daycare needs.”
About: We've had dogs our whole lives and love the joy they bring us. We've been pet sitting on and off for the last 3 years and would love the chance to take care of your family member! Jathan works from home every day and Dani's office is dog-friendly and we have some flexibility between the two of us to both do work from home days. If your pup absolutely has to have someone there at all times or has medication needs, we can also rearrange schedules to have both of us work from home, or bring them along to the office! We have a patio dog door, allowing dogs to spend time inside if they wish or to let themselves outside to sunbathe, chase squirrels or burn off any energy if home alone. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard that everyone always has access to. In the summer we try to spend a lot of time back there relaxing, chasing bubbles and throwing the ball. We do have a hairless cat who typically stays in my sister's bedroom under the blankets. We make sure she has her safe space by not allowing even our dogs free access to her room and when we have new doggie friends, we typically put up an extra gate in the hall just to make sure everyone has their space.
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”

I also have experience administering medications and caring for pets with different needs and temperaments. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, or just someone to give them extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to work with what makes them most comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals — honestly, dogs are usually easier than people 😂 I’m a stay at home mom with a 3 year old in pre school. I have very flexible availability and availability most days of the week! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats as well I’ve worked with animals in my past and I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve worked at 2 doggy day cares and also have pet care experience
About: My furbabies are extremely important to me, so I understand how important they must be to you! We currently have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and a rabbit. I have had dogs for 25 years and cats for my entire life. I have fostered over 50 cats in the last ten years, and I have fostered, boarded, and cared for many dogs besides my own. I also have experience with a slew of other animals, including ferrets, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, fish, and horses. I am currently waiting for my Master's in Social Work program to start again, so I have too much free time on my hands. I would love to use it to meet your pets! I enjoy working with animals to give them the enrichment they want to have so they can be the happiest they can possibly be in whatever environment they're in. Visits will always include lots of affection and playtime, with a little training slipped into their games.

About: Hi! My name is Kate Palmer, and I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati 🎓❤️ I just started on Rover and am looking for pet sitting opportunities because I genuinely love animals and caring for them! 🐶🐱 Although I’m new to Rover, I have years of caregiving experience through nannying for multiple families, which has taught me how to be patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable. Right now, I nanny, but my schedule depends on when the family needs me, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability 😊 I grew up around dogs and lots of cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life 🐾 My parents have a dog that I help care for often, and I also have two cats of my own! Because of this, I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, different personalities, and making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love being active, going on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away 🦴☀️ I understand trusting someone new with your pets can feel nerve-wracking, especially with a new Rover sitter, but I truly care about providing the best care possible and treating every pet like my own 💛 I’m very detail-oriented, communicative, and reliable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for your pets while also growing my experience on Rover 😊🐾 -Kate💓 I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati, so I have a very flexible schedule right now alongside babysitting and am currently looking for full-time opportunities. Because of this, I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and even last-minute bookings. Caring for animals already fits naturally into my everyday life, I grew up with dogs and cats, help care for my parents’ dog, and have two cats of my own! I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away 💛 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for animals and I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care. Since I have a dog and two cats of my own, I’m very familiar with reading animal behavior, giving pets attention and patience, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands!
About: I have had every type of pet under the sun. Birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish, cats, and of course dogs. I have vast knowledge of dog body language and psychology, since I trained service dogs for children, either as a volunteer or employee, for 8 years. I have a bachelors degree in Zoology, and have never known life without pets in my home. I also have experience as a zookeeper, working with a huge variety of species, and regularly administering medications. I run a small dog grooming business out of my home as well, have raised several puppies, and have 2 cats of my own! I am currently unemployed, looking for new opportunities, so during the workday when pet owners can't be home to care for their fur balls is my specialty! I ensure every pet has been seen and is healthy and happy with each visit. Requested pet care will be done with the utmost care and respect for each animal, and your home! If I have important questions I will always ask before I make a decision. For dog walking, I used to train dogs for search and rescue, so pulling doesn't intimidate me! I will walk each dog at the pace that is best for them and their energy needs.
About: Pets don't need much to be happy. Most are content with some peanut butter for dogs, or maybe a treat for the kittens! We all know that a little patients goes a long way, and we don't always have to understand to be able to help, and give good happy lives :) I'm here to help! Right now I'm fully available. Please consider me a full time pet manager, and I mean I'll walk! I'll talk! And I'll adapt to whatever it is you need done! I care for pets with the focus on maintaining consistency for the pets. So whatever the owner wants. It's important to lay it all out, and allow for small errors on all sides, and later we will build everything we need to succeed and give vitality to the pets!
About: A seasoned dog-owner since age 6, I love spending time with our furry babies! Trust that your fur-kids will be well-cared for while you're away.

Communicate your preferences, and we can find a schedule that best accommodates both of us. I will be sure to follow your instructions on caring for your pets. The safety and happiness of your pets are our priority. We are here for you!
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: I have always had pets growing up when I was younger and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is caring for my own pets and caring for family, friends and I also have volunteered at shelters as well. My husband and I only have one dog. She is a GoldenDoodle/Labradoodle but we get her cut like a standard doodle and she is our world. I love training/exercising with her everyday and she pushes me to be the best that I can be. With our fur baby she gets a long walk in the morning, breakfast and lots of lovings. I do work a full time job in healthcare during the week Monday- Friday 8:00-4:30pm but I’m fully open on weekends. When I come home she gets a long walk, lots of play time outside, dinner and after dinner we take a long walk. I’m very cautious in all of my surroundings. Making sure every dog is securely leashed and properly walked or if you do have a fence I will follow any rules that abide.
About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.
About: I have always cared for animals. Right now I’m caring for my aunt’s elderly cat and I have a 1yr old dachshund. I’ve also helped friend’s and neighbors take care of their pets also so I thought this would be a good fit for me. I am a part-time security officer I work second shift I have availability from 7 to three through the week and on the weekends 7 to 1, and Wednesdays and Thursdays I can be available all day to take care of loved pets I have a fenced in yard, and I am very attentive to my animals. I lovingly play with them we play fetch, and I take my animals for walks and we love to have play date at the dog park.
About: I have had pets for my whole life. Most of my friends called my house a "zoo" growing up because of the wide range of animals we had around the house, from puppies to snakes to pigs- we had it all. When caring for another animal, I treat it like it were my own. I always saw my pets as an extension of my own family and want to treat all animals the same way. I am currently home from college right now, so I am flexible. I have 3 pets of my own who I take care of, other than that I am free. It depends on the pet and their individual needs. I have a dog, but he is extremely active and loves being outdoors, so letting him out every hour or couple minutes is important for him. Whereas, another dog may not enjoy. being outside as much or have certain medical needs that prevents them from running. I love cuddling up on the couch with my pets (dog and two cats), and giving them affection. I also enjoy spending time with them by getting them active and playing their favorite games/ toys.

“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.

Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”

We received daily updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Onyx was loved and completely spoiled with plenty of cuddles, attention, and fun farm adventures. He looked so happy the entire time! We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care he received, and we already know he'll be back for many more farm excursions. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Heather — a stay-at-home foster mom, runner, dog lover, and experienced foster/service dog handler based in Batavia, Ohio. After years in corporate recruiting, I’m finally leaning into a life that feels a little more like me — being home with our foster son, spending more time with dogs, being outside, going on walks, and building something slower and more meaningful here in Ohio. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped foster and raise more than 50 dogs over the years, including service dogs in training, and I’m also a certified volunteer through the Clermont County Animal Shelter where I walk dogs, take dogs on day trips, and foster here in Ohio. Before moving here, I also helped watch and walk dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and foster connections in Minnesota. I genuinely love all breeds and personalities and really enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. Since I’m home most of the day, dogs here get lots of supervision, outdoor time, enrichment, walks, naps, snuggles, and attention throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labs that love having dog friends around. I know how hard it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I’m big on communication and love sending lots of photo updates throughout their stay so you know they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, meals on their normal schedule, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m not away for long workdays, pets spend very little time alone and are part of our family’s daily activities. Safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labrador Retrievers who are used to having other dogs around. I’ve fostered and raised more than 50 dogs, including service dogs in training, and I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, crate schedules, medications, and introductions. Meet & greets are required before all new boarding stays so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit for both your dog and our home. I want every dog to feel safe, successful, and stress-free during their stay.
“Susan was great! I would definitely use her again in the future. My dog seemed happy to be there the whole time and enjoyed hanging out with her dog. She sent updates and pictures everyday and handled his fear of thunderstorms with no issues. Thanks again!”
About: What sets us apart is the genuine care and experience we bring to every dog we welcome into our home. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and before having our daughter, we fostered dogs, which gave us experience with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. We currently have a friendly 2-year-old lab mix, so we’re very familiar with maintaining routines, exercise needs, and positive reinforcement. One of our biggest strengths is working with anxious or shy dogs—we’re patient, attentive, and take the time to build trust at each dog’s pace so they feel safe and comfortable. We treat every dog like part of our family and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday. Your dog will have consistent companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. During the day, dogs are free to relax, play, and interact with our friendly 2-year-old lab mix. We also incorporate daily walks and outdoor playtime (weather permitting), along with plenty of attention, affection, and structured routine. Because I’m home, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and adjust care to ensure they feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home. Then when my husband and daughter are not in work or school they will help care for your dogs and play with them. In our home, we strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog in our care. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of exercise in a secure space. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family—free to relax, play, and enjoy a calm, structured routine. We can accommodate crate training if your dog is used to it or needs a safe space while we’re briefly away from home. We pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, a quieter environment, or a consistent routine, so they feel secure and at home during their stay.
“Susan took great care of our 2 miniature schnauzers while we were away. She sent pictures multiple times a day so we always knew what the dogs had been up to and could see they were doing well! Thanks for taking care of our dogs like they were your own while we were away!”
