About: What makes me a good pet sitter is that I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I give every pet plenty of care and one-on-one attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet, but to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for every day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. I’m organized with my schedule, so I can provide consistent and dependable care while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who can provide company for your fur baby if they are comfortable around other dogs. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in my home or in my client’s home, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines your pet may have.

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs over the years. My family raised kittens for years when I was in high-school. I also had a dog of my own for 15 years. I’m always the first to volunteer to care for friends and family members pets when they are out of town or need extra help walking them during the work week. I am currently pet free and miss having furry friends around! I work evenings so I have plenty of time during the day to walk pets and take them on adventures! I’m happy to house sit or keep pets overnight as well, as long as they can be left for 4-6 hours in the evening! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, and take lots of daily walks as well. In your home, I make every effort to keep your pet on their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My 14-year-old son is gentle, respectful of animals, and has grown up around both dogs and cats, but all pet care and responsibility is handled by me.
“What a fabulous family! It made my travel so much less stressful knowing she was in such a safe and caring place. Thanks so much to Jennifer & Robert and their daughter and son... oh and Murphy too!”
“Our dog Sammy had a great time at Melissa’s! He loved snuggling in their laps and having some fun doggy siblings to play with for the week. She kept me in the loop with what he was up to and took great care of him ☺️”

“Sandy was very responsive and able to help us last minute when a friend was unable to check in on our cat.

We would use Sandy again anytime we need someone to check in on our cat.”

About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and have been in the veterinary medicine field for 6 years. I have worked and care for many cats over the past 6 years. Working in an animal shelter gave me the opportunity to work with cats of all ages and all temperaments. I am fear free certified and utilize those techniques with all animals I interact with. I am comfortable playing with cats using anything that is engaging to them, feeding, medicating, and cleaning the litter box when needed. Please let me know any special needs, behaviors, or quirks for your fur baby- I want them to be as comfortable as possible. Their comfort and yours is of the upmost importance to me. I prefer to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit!
About: I’ve loved cats since I was a child and carried the responsibility of taking care of them since I was 8 years old. I have pet sit for dear friends and family, and taken care of up t 3 cats at a time. I love their mysterious lives and individual personalities.
“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Jenna was fantastic with my cat and provided excellent care while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated with photos and messages. I highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter!”

Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra playtime, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.

About: I’ve had a mallard tabby that I rescued for 6 years. She is my baby and I go above and beyond to take care of her. Treats, toys, beds, water fountains… you name it she has it. She’s also an anxious gal so I give her medication when needed and am comfortable administering medication or whatever else your cat might need. I am 100% a cat person and will treat your baby like my own!!!
About: I’ve owned and cared for multiple cats at once (up to 13!), most of them since birth and I’ve also spent over two years fostering, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is to be patient and let cats warm up at their own pace. I’ve always had a special love for cats and have hands-on experience caring for all kinds of personalities—from super social to shy and independent 🐾 I’m experienced with medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, giving lots of love (when they want it 😊), and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I always adjust to what makes them happiest.
“Rayme was amazing! We needed someone short notice, and even with that, her communication was great, and she made sure to spend time and give some love to all three of our fur babies. We're booking with her for a longer trip and definitely feel great about leaving our babies in her care!”

About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Rachelle is awesome! She really cares for my dogs needs and knows how to handle her reactivity to other dogs. She read the long list I gave her of info on our dog and sent multiple updates during the day. And she was able to handle my dogs quirky behavior really well (a mini dachshund). I really recommend Rachelle if you want ur dog to have more individualized care than just a boarding kennel. And Rachelle is really nice as well. I’ll be coming back for sure when we go out of town!”
“excellent caregiver, she cares for the pets, she has her house equipped so that our pets have a great time. I recommend it. Thank you very much for taking care of Wyatt. He always kept me informed about my pet and how well he was having a good time. thanks kimberly”
“Joanne and her husband did a wonderful job watching Frankie! They provided updates throughout the day which I always appreciate. Would definitely recommend them to others and we will absolutely use them again in the future.”
“My dog has such a great time when she’s here!! She gets all of her energy out and gets treated great! I love seeing my dog’s pictures at the end of the play date. Katie is the best!”
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.
About: I'm sure everyone heard of how good or how long they take care of animals , I'm not so different from other Occupant who love animals , who doesn't love animals , they are there most of the time when you need someone to be there for you , the saying is true a dog is a man best friend they never leave your side for any Convenience I'm currently pregnant with my first child ever, and I want to be very cautious about bring life into the world , so by being a sittiter/walker I'm want to make sure I can Multitask and handle what comes my way I live a apartment building with a balcony so it very closed in , they should be no problem with the safe keep of your pets
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years, including my own pets. I’m patient, reliable, and I always make sure every pet feels comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and even giving extra cuddles when needed. I truly treat every pet like part of my family. 💖 I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets and give them all the attention they need! I’m available every day, including weekends and evenings. 💕 I live in a calm, pet-friendly home and always make sure every animal feels safe and loved. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I keep their environment clean, cozy, and stress-free. Your pets will be treated like part of my family!
“So great! My puppy Steve loves going to Kimberly's house he has lots of playtime with the other dogs that are there, Kimberly keeps in contact with me sending pictures of my pup playing, she takes them on walks! I couldn't be more happy with the doggie daycare, Steve is much more happy and stimulated and I'm relaxed knowing he's being well taken care of and getting the love and attention he needs”
About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.
“Akita is professional, very responsive and amazing! My fur baby felt at home immediately. He even ate his food which he never does when he’s away from home. She was so accommodating and did such a wonderful job taking him on plenty of walks and potty breaks! He was so excited for day 2 daycare. I’m so happy I found a forever sitter for my baby! Thank you Akita!”
About: With 5 years of regular pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages - from bouncy puppies and playful kittens to my true area of expertise: senior pets. I understand the unique needs that come with each life stage, from puppy energy and socialization to the extra patience, gentle handling, and attentiveness that senior pets often require (think mobility issues, medication schedules, and just plain more TLC). Every pet in my care gets individualized attention tailored to their age, temperament, and routine. Whether it’s a high-energy young dog needing exercise and mental stimulation, or an older cat who just wants a quiet lap and consistent care, I adjust my approach to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home so my schedule allows flexibility for lots of walks and potty breaks. My personal daily routine included exercise and regular walks, I’d love to include your pet! My home is one level and my yard is fenced in allowing for convenience to get outside easily and stay safe. Pets are welcome to roam free in my home, but happy to work with any crates or other training needs to stay on track.
About: I will provide the "home away from home." So you can focus on work or your own vacation. Caution: They may be returned to you spoiled.

About: Hi there, thank you for taking the time to consider me! I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals.

I have experience caring for dogs aged puppy through senior, giving meds, bottles feeding, and even diaper changes if needed! I have a very flexible job allowing me to work from a laptop M-F so I can be very portable. This allows me to keep up with play time, regular potty breaks, feeding schedules and even walks of course! Thank you for taking the time to consider me and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home M-F and my job is very flexible! I regularly have downtime with an occasional phone call! This allows me to be 100% present with your pet. I have flexibility to provide whatever is needed in your home or mine.

“Sarah has been an amazing dog walker! Sarah is very responsive in the Rover app. Her approach is gentle and caring, she is a great fit for our timid pup. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.
About: I have 6 years of experience with animals. I attended the vet science program at Butler Tech on a farm for 2 years, worked at a vet clinic, dog day care, and volunteered at an animal shelter over the course of the years. I’m dependable, attentive, and passionate about giving every pet the love and care they deserve. Your furry family member will be in caring hands!🐶❤️🐾 I currently have free time majority of the days because I am no longer working but I am a college student. Monday's and Wednesday's I'm not available. Tuesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's I'm free to go take care of your furry friends. Overnight house sitting isn't an option but if you are in need for a sitter that will stay with them from the morning to evening I'm available to do so! I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and individual needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born! Currently I have a dog and two cats of my own. I’ve been around and cared for animals of all sizes and breeds. I have a cat now that needs to take oral medication daily so I have experience there, and work from home so I’m fairly flexible on how I can care for your babies while you are away! I work from home, and at a restaurant on the weekends. So my availability is very flexible. I take my dog out every few hours to walk and smell around the neighborhood. I’m very active so if you have an active pet that’s great! But I can also take it slow if that’s what your senior baby needs. My dog is always leashes when outside for her safety as I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk on the sidewalks and always look out for traffic and other dogs!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with pets and even adopted my own dog in college. I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine care to every pet I look after. I’m currently available most days of the week and would be happy to find a schedule that works best for your dog’s routine, comfort, and care. I am a part-time student and will be starting classes this fall, so I’ll be unavailable on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM–2:30 PM and Thursdays from 10:00 AM– 4:30 PM. Outside of those class hours, my schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate a time that works best for both you and your pup. I treat every pet like my own. I love taking the time to get to know each animal, understand their personality, and learn what activities they enjoy the most.
About: I grew up with dogs of all ages, and have a special place in my heart for senior dogs! I discovered my love for cats later in life and have enjoyed getting to know how to interact with them. I work from home, and enjoy getting out of the house to visit and take walks. I can do any time of day as well! Whether you have a fenced in yard, a dog who loves adventure, or a major couch potato, I can adjust to your pets environment and give them lots of love.
About: I am over the top when it comes to animals. I typically go above and beyond in play and in care. I love to groom them, go hiking or on extended walks and cuddle! I am currently a nursing student who is trying to make extra money so I can stop working during clinicals. Also I have a small child that I could always use extra money for! In my home pets will be in a shared space with toys and activities. I will walk pets every 4-6 hours and will groom both cats and dogs if i see fit (not full groom but wipe eyes, paws, etc) I also enjoy going to the park so if possible i would love to take them to a park near your home or my own

About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and have been in the veterinary medicine field for six years. Growing up, I had a feisty miniature dachshund and a goofy golden retriever. When I moved out, I got my own dynamic duo over the years- a chihuahua mix (Brulee- like the dessert crème Brulee) and three years later an Australian shepherd mix (muffin). Brulee was a very opinionated and particular girl while muffin is a gentle soul and afraid of her own shadow. I am fear free certified and have been since I entered the vet med field, it is something that is very important to me and I practice it with every animal I interact with. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. If they have special needs, behaviors, or quirks please tell me everything- I want to know all about your pet! Their comfort as well as yours is of the upmost importance to me. I love taking dogs on walks and hikes, allowing them to set the tone and pace- if they want to speed walk, we can do that or if they want to take a leisurely stroll sniffing every blade of grass that is fine too. I will keep your dog leashed the entire time we are out of the house, unless we are in an enclosed backyard. I do not take dogs to dog parks, unless have a well-established recall and if you request me to. However your pet wants to play, I am game- we can play ball, tug of war, hide and seek, or treat puzzles- whatever gets them excited! I am happy to medicate and feed your pet as needed. I prefer to meet you and your fur baby beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit! I currently work from home full time and pick up shifts at clinics when I can. My schedule hours vary so I can be available at normal or obscure hours. As long as we can find a window to make it work, I am happy to be flexible for you and your fur baby! I will care for your pets and home like I care for my own. If your pet has specific needs or if you have special requests, I will do my best to fulfill them to keep you and your pup happy, safe, and comfortable!
About: Hello my name is Mindy. I am currently looking for pet sitting and dog walking jobs in and near Cincinnati. My primary job is mental health therapist, because of the demands of working in the mental health field, I want to be around animals working part time, for my own self-care. Being around animals makes me content and relaxed and I love making animals relaxed and happy as well. I have a lot of experience, especially with dogs and cats, both personally and professionally. I had my own dog for 14 years until she passed away in 2023, now i own two cats. I also have worked in a kennel, i have worked for dog walking companies, and have worked for Wag! I understand how stressful it can be leaving your animals in the hands of others, and this is why I take such good care of others babies :) I would love to help you and your pets whenever you need me! Services And Training: I have experience with walking, over night sitting, feeding, refreshing water, administering medications when needed, and cuddles :) I work part time and make my own schedule, so I have a lot of availability to help you out whether it be walks, check ins, or overnight stays. I will first ask you many questions about safety, behavior, etc before coming into your home to petsit. I do not currently accept animals at my own home, because I have cats and no fences yard. Any wishes of the owner I will do my best to accommodate.
About: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends cats & dogs while they’re out of town. My favorite part of watching them is taking them on walks along with giving them lots of cuddles & play time. I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments & gigs. My career is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for. This is vital to me, so the animals are able to maintain their same routine & schedule alongside receiving the care & playtime they deserve.
About: I have always have tiny little mutts running around since I was little and my love for animals has grown tremendously into adult hood! I love all animals in any size. My experience comes from taking care of my own pets as well as family, friends, and neighbors! I graduated Highschool early and working part time, my job is very flexible and knows that my pet care comes first! Im pretty available on most days of the week I have a gated back yard, with 3 doggies that are loving. They have their own “house” and I am easily able to put them in or out!
About: For my entire life, I have grown up with a dog in my family home. I have experienced first hand how to care for a 2 month old puppy and a 13 year old senior dog. Since the age of 16, I have also watched family friends dogs, either doing overnight stays or routinely check-ins with the dogs. As a graduate student, I have classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On those days, your pup may be home for a few hours while I’m in class, but I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks before I leave and as soon as I return. Outside of my class schedule, I have a flexible routine and spend most of my time at home, so I’ll be able to provide lots of companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special care your pet needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel the most comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I love cleaning and doing daily chores, so that will never be a problem for me! I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is making sure both you and your pet have peace of mind.
About: I have always loved animals and have experience dog sitting and cat sitting. I also love walking dogs since I love the extra exercise :) I’m great with scheduling and making sure to always be available when possible! One thing I promise to not be, is a flake! I love animals and have a dachshund of my own who I’ve raised since a puppy. Safety of your fur baby to me is always the first most important thing I value! I promise to respect your needs and care for your pet in the best way I can as my own:)
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was 10 I even had my own dog that I took real good care of and I even help my relatives pet sit when needed, since I’m in school for pre veterinary I’ve worked at a daycare/boarding facility for dogs and moved up to working in a animal clinic so I gain a few skills that will come in need for taking care of your pets. I’m currently a full time college student but I take online classes so I’m able to be at home to take care of your pets I have enough space in my home for your pets to be able to play indoor or outdoor in the backyard for potty breaks or more fun and the backyard is also fenced. In your home I’ll be able to play and take you pets for potty break when necessary and make sure they are being feed and are very entertained
About: I grew up with cats and dogs constantly in my life. I understand the need for medication given on time, cats needing daily litter changes, and everything that goes along with pet care. I am free anytime of day. I’m very open, loving, and enjoy building relationships with clients and their pets. Best part of my day is when their animals remember me. All animals are always welcome! I love going on walks with clients dogs, or sitting and taking care of their cats. Other animals are welcome as well, I have had training with all other animals as well- goats, horses, sheep and beyond.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare as well as fostered and volunteered at the shelter. I also have raised dogs my whole life and have three of my own. I have dealt with administering medicine at the doggy daycare and taking care of dogs with needed special care.I also have one cat who I adore!! Fostering is one of my passions in cincinnati when there are animals in need! I work one job only two days a week as well as I am a senior in highschool looking to make money for college as I am about to graduate. I provide a safe care person for dogs in their home as well as when going on a walk I am there for whatever they need.
About: I've had a house full of pets since I was born. We always had at least 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, and other pets in the house. Chance was my main pet (pitbull) who I personally trained and took care of from the age of 10 until I left for college. I now have a chihuahua named Taako and a fluffy cat named Magnus that I take care of. I've also helped watch cats and dogs of family and friends. I also spend my free time volunteering at Lake Humane Society. I have experience in reading cat temperment (don't want to get bit in a shelter!) and training dogs. I work full time 9-5 during the week from home but I can help during a lunch break, after work any time, or on weekends! I will work to whatever your comfort level is for your pets! My chihuahua is distrustful of strangers so I entirely understand if your animals need some time to warm up to me.

I would definitely use her again.”

She treats our dog like her own and goes out of her way to go on walks, give treats, and plays with him. We hope to continue using Shanikka and her family as our Rover for all future sittings!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“Katie was so great! Our dog Luna had so Much fun! She came home and crashed in the couch. Katie was great about sending photos! She has a awesome yard for them to run around and Luna absolutely loves her!”
“Wow, I was so pleased with Abbie as a sitter for our two 10 month old Winston & Riley. My anxiety level dropped from the pictures she sent, we would look forward to her updates. I could see the content in our boys eyes & the bonus was how her children loved on them during their five day stay. This stay was the first time using Abbie & Rover and will not be the last. I have bragged on Abbie to my friends that I was so pleased, which made my time away so much more enjoyable with no worries. We will be back soon.”
