Personalized care for your dog or cat - Northgate
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Northgate
“Misty was quick to respond with the initial setup. While she had our dog, she would send daily updates and pictures. Pick up and drop off was easy. Most importantly, our pet was happy!”
“Chrissy was excellent. It was obvious when talking with her, she really cares about the animals and my dog in particular. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will use her again next time.”
“Jenna and her family provided our 17m oGolden retriever with best care when we go away for weekends or weeks. Coco loves going to their house! We trust Jenna with Coco’s safety and well-being while we are gone. Recommend her highly!”
“Fantastic boarding experience! My dog has separation anxiety and loved it there. He had a ton of fun playing with the other dogs and running around the backyard.”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My dogs spent a full week with Rachel and Nicholas and came home happy, healthy, and tired. I consider that a success! I would use them again in the future and I would also recommend them to friends.”
“Erik is so great with our dog Finn! Finn is very high energy and can run anxious. He gets to run around a lot when he stays with Erik and we get lots of photo updates on how Finn is doing!”
“Super amazing experience. My dog did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. He had so much fun. He ran around the backyard and I got pictures of him from Tonia having all that fun. I will definitely be leaving him again maybe just for his fun vacation. Tonia is the best.”
“Boba seemed to have a lot of fun! I appreciate the updates and for spending time with my pup while I was away. I will definitely be using Natalie in the future again!”
“Very nice and attentive sitters. I really appreciated Kathy sending me updates and pics! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Domino was enjoying his stay🥰”
“My boys are pleasantly worn out after a sleepover with their new friends! I loved all the pictures and updates through the day. We will definitely be using Tasha and Joseph again!”
About: I love dogs and usually bond quickly. I have experience with special diet dogs, elderly dogs, etc. I am like a dog chaplain. I will care for your dog (and home if needed) as I do my own. I work in an industry that requires back ground checks. I have cared for since childhood: German Shepherds, Rabbits, Chows, Rottweiler, Labs, Shih Tzu, Schnauzers, Terriers, rabbits, fish, etc. I'm available at various times with notice. If I am requested for in home care I will care for your home as my own. I look forward to supporting you in any way that I can. Blessings. I’m home all day a few days per week. However, I can do drop ins and house sitting daily. Morning, Afternoon and Evening walks are provided when in boarding or daycare. Weekend stays include park time and long walks. I have a sweet smaller dog whom is very loving and after getting to know your dog will treat them like a sibbling. It is important that your dog be okay with being crated only at night or if I need to run a close errand. Otherwise dogs welcome on couch etc.
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Patrice was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Colleen was amazing with our pup! She was quick to respond to the initial request and was extremely accommodating for a quick meet & greet before confirming the booking (ensuring that we had peace of mind that our pup would be a good fit with her family!) During our time away, she kept us updated with lots of fun pics, which we loved! Roo seemed to have so much fun while we were gone that I'm not sure she wanted to come home!!! We are certain that if we're heading out of town again, we'll check with Colleen first before going to anyone else!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for many years and currently have two small dogs including a senior dog. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime and providing lots of love and companionship. I also have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby safe and secure. I understand that every dog is unique and will treat your furry family member as if they were my own while you’re away I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, feeding playtime, potty breaks, and companionship after 2:30 p.m. during the week I have a secure, fenced yard that provides plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play. I have 2 small dogs, one of which being a senior, so I’m experienced in maintaining a calm, pet-friendly environment and understanding the needs of dogs at different life stages. Whether your pet enjoys playing, exploring, or simply relaxing, they’ll be welcomed into a safe, loving home where they’re treated like part of the family
“John and Kelly took really great care of Koda! They kept us updated on how he was doing and gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We look forward to booking with them in the future since Koda enjoyed his stay so much!”

Cat caregivers near you - Northgate
“I was so worried about traveling and leaving my crew in someone’s care especially considering one of my cats is diabetic and requires injections multiple times a day but Sandy has been amazing. She kept me informed, she was flexible with my timing and I couldn’t have asked for a more caring sitter for my crew! Thanks Sandy!!”
“Sarah was fantastic! We hired her to care for our 2 fur babies (cats, age 10 y/o) over 6 days (2x per day, 12 visits total). Sarah handled food, water, litter box cleanup, & playtime. Both cats have special dietary needs & a specific feeding schedule. Sarah did an excellent job sticking to this schedule, meeting their dietary needs, & communicating with us throughout her visits. One of our cats was recently diagnosed with diabetes (in remission now) with a scary long-term ICU stay & we were very anxious about leaving him for such a long period of time. Sarah definitely put our minds at ease! She sent updates about their eating habits, catered to all their little quirks, & even went above & beyond to do things like vacuuming stray litter & attempting to remove a particularly unfortunate vomit stain from a white rug. Sarah sent lots of pictures (at our request) & did a great job making judgment calls on things we hadn’t prepped her for (like removing hazards—e.g., a toy the cats destroyed & tried to eat). If you want someone communicative & compassionate who takes initiative & makes responsible judgment calls, Sarah is your sitter!”
“Eric went above and beyond for my two kitties! He is great and takes phenomenal pictures!! He took excellent care of my babies and even offered help outside of caring for my animals when my home unexpectedly flooded from a severe rain storm. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Laura was awesome, our cat usually won't come out for anyone he doesn't know. But I guess he knew she truly is a animal lover, cause he came out to greet her. She took very good care of him, played and brushed him, and even brought one of her cats toys over cause I accidentally locked his up. Thxs Laura”
About: I’m less experienced with cats than dogs, as they’re typically accompanied by one or more dogs during the stays I’ve had with them. I’m comfortable feeding, playing with, and cleaning as necessary, as well as learning any other needs I can meet so it feels like you never left!
“Elizabeth checked in on our kitty while I was out of the country for a week. I would absolutely book her again! She was always on time, super friendly and our shy cat loved hanging out with her. It was such good peace of mind having someone so reliable and friendly checking in on the cat, and I can't say enough nice things about her!”
“Emma was very attentive to our two boys (cats) and I know they really enjoyed her company. I could tell when we returned home from our trip that they were relaxed and not stressed out from us being gone.”
About: I have had at least one dog since I was born as I grew up in an animal loving family. For the past 11+ years I’ve been raising my own pack of three rescue dogs who I’ve trained and raised to be extremely social and friendly. They love making new fur friends. I currently work a regular office job, but am fairly flexible with my schedule and am almost always available on weekends (Friday - Sunday) and evenings. I have a completely fenced in yard and three friendly fur babies of my own that would love nothing more than to befriend and play with your dog(s). I can also do house visits to come to your place and give one on one time with your fur baby and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
“Katrina did a great job watching our 5 cats. She sent us pictures and updates every day. Also she did a good job giving medication to one of our cats which isn’t always easy.”
“Sofia was fantastic and took great care of my older pups. I accidentally booked the wrong dates and was super flexible with me to correct them at the last minute. Will be booking again soon!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher who loves spending my free time caring for animals. I grew up with pets and currently have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. During the school year, I’m at work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, but I’m available for early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. Weekends are more flexible, though I do work a short 4-hour shift every other Saturday and every Sunday. I treat your home with the utmost respect because I know I’m not just caring for a pet—I’m caring for a member of your family. As a fellow pet parent, I understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are. I grew up with animals and currently have a dog of my own, so I’m confident in handling daily routines, providing comfort, and creating a calm, loving environment for your pet while you’re away.
“Andrea is the BEST!! Literally book her while you still can!!!! It was my first time using Rover for my kitten and I was super anxious about everything but I quickly realized she is in great hands with Andrea! She connected with my kitten and learned what she likes and treated her like her own fur baby! Andrea sent me updates and pictures through out which gave me lots of reassurance. Andrea stayed at my apartment and left it so clean and perfect! Also, Andrea is literally just the sweetest person you will ever meet and you can tell she genuinely cares and wants the best for your pet!!! I cannot say enough great things about her!!”
“Allison is the best! She is a great communicator - she responds quickly and clearly. She sends lots of pictures and follows directions perfectly. She took such good care of our pups and they loved her! We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Allison!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have stayed involved in their daily care. From a young age, I’ve helped with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, grooming, and making sure they feel comfortable. Even if they’re shy! I’ve cared for cats in all stages of life, from newborns to seniors. I will adapt to your cat’s routine and personality! I have experience administering medications at my home to my cat who once had FIP, so I am comfortable with following detailed care instructions from pet owners. I understand the importance of earning a cat’s trust and providing a calm, patient environment while their family is away. My goal is to give every cat the same love, attention, and care that I give to my own!
About: I have two special needs cats myself. They both require different types of medication to be administered daily on a regular schedule. They also have varying levels of intimacy needs. One cat needs lot of loves and cuddles and pets. And the other likes to be left alone with an occasional head scratch. I have the patience and understanding to help your kitties and give them what they need in a loving manor !
“Sara gave so much care to all three of our cats but especially Mowgli, our diabetic cat. Sara gave him insulin even though Mowgli is very defensive and does not like receiving insulin from strangers. Sara communicated with us daily about how our cats were doing and she was so patient with Mowgli when he was being fussy. We highly recommend Sara for pet care!!!”
About: I have had at least one pet from the day I was born. I’ve also dog sat for my family many times. I helped train my own and others dogs the basic commands. I am a college student, with a very flexible schedule when I am home for breaks. So, I have plenty of time to play with, watch, and care for your pet(s). I am attentive and active when caring for pets. I can easily follow any care instructions and build a bond with the animal. I make sure to pay attention to how they are responding to me / things to avoid any incidents.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Northgate
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.

About: I have fostered over 70 animals the past four alyears. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. Also bunnies and guinea pigs! I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.
About: Hello! I’m a Part-Time working Momma and we love animals! I have grown to enjoy dogs mostly. I’ve had a pet dog for a great amount of my life as well as other animals like rabbits, fish and snakes! Size or age doesn't matter, they are all fun. I love their energy and seeing how they interact with loved ones. I frequently help out family members with their dogs which includes bathing, walking, picking up their food and medicine. Taking trips or “car rides” are also a fav’ we partake in. Dogs are truly a pleasure to have and I would love the opportunity to provide care to your fur baby! I have open availability now and have one kiddo! We are up pretty early for school/sports and events so I am pretty flexible with boarding/scheduling! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run and play. I also have a finished basement for those that are potty trained.
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“Karen is always great with Ivy. Ivy is well taken care of and loves going to daycare there because of Karen's loving nature. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a sitter.”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, and not only that, but I work at a doggy daycare and boarding place, so I feel I have alot of experience. I also once majored in biological sciences pre veterinary, so I have a lot of prior animal knowledge. My highschool was also a career tech school for animals. I currently am working a second job, but only part time so I have a lot of free time. I am fully free during the week, and weekends I work 7-3 usually, but I also live in a home where we all love to take care of animals, so if they were to board there is always someone at home to look out for them. I don’t have a fenced in yard, however I do have a very safe neighborhood, so I am willing to take animals outside on a leash, on a walk, etc. I also have alot of open space in my home for play/ exercise. I have one dog who is a Japanese chin, very tiny very sweet dog, she gets along with anyone and is the most loving girl. I have a cat also, the sweetest cat you will ever encounter. She loves to play with my dog and greet new people who come in our home.
About: Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dogs whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. I'm a nursing student in my final semester and I'm returning to Rover after six years! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old mini schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely). Tuesday and Thursday are the two days I have a class and I'm always home after that! The class is only 2 hours long so any guest pets won't be alone very long at all. I'm home all day every day otherwise! The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate, you can bring that as well for me to use if this is how your pet is normally kept while left alone.
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
“My dog Millie absolutely loves going to daycare with Kim, her mom and her dogs. Every time I drop her off and pick her up she has a huge smile on her face and comes home completely exhausted. Kim does such a great job updating me throughout the day with lots of pictures and updates. I couldn’t have found a more attentive and loving home that welcomes my dog with open arms!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
“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!”

About: I have taken care of pets (primarily dogs) of many different species, size, and attitude! I’ve had two rescue animals (mixed and black lab) and two mini sheepadoodles. I can handle high energy and will take care of your pet like they are my own 😊. Although I have never had a cat of my own, I also have a love for cats (I plan to get one of my own soon)! I am a full time student, but during the summer, I focus on petsitting gigs! I am very flexible with scheduling. I can come in and out as needed to walk/play with them, or I can live-in to take full care of your pet! I am very open to working with your specific needs and requests. I understand the amount of trust people put into pet caretakers, as my family has done before with our dogs. I treat every pet as if they were my own!

“Sarah was very caring and patient with our corso. Sadly, he suffered from severe separation anxiety and would not walk; but she stayed with him for the duration, took him out to the yard, played with him, brought him in after the 30 minutes, filled the water bowls upstairs and downstairs for him and showed him a lot of love. She also kept in contact with us to let us know how he was doing and shared photographs. We will definitely utilize her services again.”
“I could tell from the pictures that my Aussie, who can be a little nervous and tentative with new people, was comfortable and happy with Eric. I recommend his services 100%!”
About: I am a dog owner myself, having dogs throughout my whole life. I love any and all dogs and would love an opportunity to meet yours. I’ve had past experience watching both dogs and cats, where I’ve stayed overnight, fed, walked, and cared for pets in various ways. I also have reliable transportation and am willing to accommodate any needs necessary. I am eager to learn anything that will help your pet feel safer and happier while caring for them! I’m free throughout most days this summer, so my attention can be fully on your pets! Other than occasional trips/errands out, I can stay as long as you need with your fur babies! I’m very comfortable doing anything you need within your home for your pets! I can crate if needed, and I love walking if that’s something you’d like your pet to experience.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can take time on my lunch break to do a quick walk or drop in with your fur babies. I’m also available before 7am and after 4pm on weekdays and available on the weekends. I do get bank holidays off and a decent amount of PTO which allows even more flexibility 🙂 While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕
About: I have 3 dogs of varying sizes so I know how to handle many dogs and many temperaments.I have been trusted to look after friends dogs as well. I’m working part time in the mornings so I have plenty of time during the week and afternoons to take care of any dog! I let the dog get comfortable with me before I try anything. I love to take my dogs on long walks and play in my backyard with them till they are tired.
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also work part time 3-4 days when I do not have school. These are usually 6-8 hour shifts, but I can adjust feedings/walking/medication administration around these times. And when in doubt, I have several well regarded Rover friends that are willing to help out on my longer shifts, with client approval. :-) I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !
About: Hello, my name is Maraya. I am a current student majoring in bioengineering looking to switch to pre-vet. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from mastiffs to small poodles, cats, as well as small animals as I have 2 bunnies of my own! Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently taking online classes over the summer so I have plenty of time to play and give your fur babies the attention they need! I am good at following instructions and having various responsibilities meaning that if your pet has certain needs they will be met to ensure a safe environment for not only the pet but the pet parents as well
About: I have always had pets my whole life growing up. I had a German Shepherd growing up, and just a few years ago I adopted my rescue Chow Chow, Bear I’m a part time employee as a nurse aide and a full time nursing student! I work 2 12 hour shifts a week and go to school 2 days a week currently. I am available on all other days! I make sure pets are well taken care of, comfortable, fed, and well exercised if need be. I will make sure to keep areas clean and tidy.
“My dog chewed up some food left in the Pantry as we are trying to leave him out of the cage more.. she cleaned everything up!! She is awesome. My dog is skittish at first and she was very gentle and slow with him until he warmed up. Thank you again!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher who loves spending my free time caring for animals. I grew up with pets and currently have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. During the school year, I’m at work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, but I’m available for early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. Weekends are more flexible, though I do work a short 4-hour shift every other Saturday and every Sunday. I treat your home with the utmost respect because I know I’m not just caring for a pet—I’m caring for a member of your family. As a fellow pet parent, I understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are. I grew up with animals and currently have a dog of my own, so I’m confident in handling daily routines, providing comfort, and creating a calm, loving environment for your pet while you’re away.
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 am currently available any day of the week, and I’m more than happy to connect and set up a time that works best for your dog’s routine, comfort, and care. 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 care for up to 34 dogs at a time of various size groups at my job. I regularly give them wellness checks and engage with them for fun. I currently work at a part time job for over the summer but my hours vary so that will change my availability. I’m also a full time student in University. I will make sure your animal never show signs of stress and if for some unforeseen reason that does happen I will immediately inform you
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 fostered over 70 animals the past four alyears. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. Also bunnies and guinea pigs! I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.
About: I am more than able to all handle animals! Feed, water, and administer medication as needed. Ensure the well being and safety at all times.(Snuggles)!!! I’m currently working a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time to watch after your furry family! Reach out for move information on the hours. I ensure pets are comfortable and well-tended by providing a clean environment, fresh water, nutritious food, and regular exercise. I follow specific dietary needs, keep up with grooming, and administer medications as needed to create a loving and stress-free atmosphere.
About: I provide attentive, loving care and prioritize your pet's safety and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Your pets wellbeing is my first priority. I am retired now. I'm looking for a fulfilling way to make extra money doing something I love. Why not care for another's pet daily. And please, serious requests only. I can only come to the pet's residence. Since I am a cat owner, I understand that they need to be in their own environment. Also, I'm not sure how my cat would act if I brought your pooch to stay for the day. I have no problem caring for your pet in their own environment.
About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

“This was my first time using a pet sitter so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My dogs spent a full week with Rachel and Nicholas and came home happy, healthy, and tired. I consider that a success! I would use them again in the future and I would also recommend them to friends.”

“Super amazing experience. My dog did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. He had so much fun. He ran around the backyard and I got pictures of him from Tonia having all that fun. I will definitely be leaving him again maybe just for his fun vacation. Tonia is the best.”

They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Colleen was amazing with our pup! She was quick to respond to the initial request and was extremely accommodating for a quick meet & greet before confirming the booking (ensuring that we had peace of mind that our pup would be a good fit with her family!) During our time away, she kept us updated with lots of fun pics, which we loved! Roo seemed to have so much fun while we were gone that I'm not sure she wanted to come home!!! We are certain that if we're heading out of town again, we'll check with Colleen first before going to anyone else!”

“The sum total? Perfect! Leann provided videos every 2-3 days so that I could see he was behaving like a gentleman and not doing a Godzilla on her house.😉🤣 Also taking him for a daily walk & sniff. Letting him socialize with two of her dogs. I couldn't ask for more. Thanx Leann”
“I had a great experience with my new dog sitter Jennifer! From the moment I dropped my dog off, she was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable leaving my new pup in her care. She kept my dog for 7 days and did an amazing job. She communicated consistently throughout the entire stay and sent plenty of pictures, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell my dog was well taken care of and happy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
