“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”


“Zurijanne is so amazing just so sweet and loving and that is reflected in her sweet fur babies! My hima has such fun play mates and looked so comfy and happy! She kept me updated and reassured me since it’s my babies first sleepover without me!”

“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”

“Kristin was very flexible with drop off and pick up, took very good care of my fur babies sent pictures without having to ask! Would recommend to a friend she was very nice and home was very clean! Didn’t have to worry about my fur babies on vacation!”

“Our dog had a great stay with Allan and his family. He was flexible, sent daily updates and photos, and our pup came home happy, stress free, and healthy. We would have our dog stay with Allan again anytime.”

“Best sitter ever goes above and beyond my puppy loves his company and environment. He will send daily updates and pictures/videos of your dog and walks them. Will always use his services”

“Barb was not only accommodating to my last minute needs but she kept me posted daily with photos (per my request) and brief texts letting me know my dog was adjusting to an unfamiliar place. Her house was very dog friendly and having a fenced in yard and neighborhood for walks was perfect for my senior dog. This was my first experience leaving my dog with anyone outside of family and she made the process as comfortable as possible. I will be using her services in the future if I find myself in need, and have already recommended her to friends and family. Thanks again for everything, Barb!”

About: We have taken care of many dogs before in our fenced backyard in Sylvania Township. We are home full time 5 days a week and love to spoil our doggies. Days that we are at work, our doggies are let out during the day and played with. We are great with our 4 legged friends, love to walk them and are not afraid of dog hairs on our couch. We have two Golden's, a cat who is very social and one daughter. We send pictures daily! My husband and I both work full time, however my husband is in office only two days. Every other day, we are always home. The days that we both are at work, I come home to let our dogs out and play. We also have cameras in our homes where we check in on our dogs when watching others. We have two loving and playful doggies in our home. We also have one cat who is very comfortable around dogs. Our backyard is fenced and we live in a safe neighborhood.
“Penny was great! She sent many photo updates of our puppies. They had many adventure walks, had time to play in her yard, and they also did some training sessions. We will definitely be back!”


“Debra did great with our young puppy! We were worried when we dropped him off because he’s been so shy and scared of everything at home. Debra’s communication was amazing and she kept us up to date on how the little guy was doing. After bringing him back home he’s now super engaged, exploring a lot more, playful, and the complete opposite of shy. Clearly he had a very positive experience with his stay. We will absolutely use Debra again in the future!”

“Paige was absolutely fantastic! I am so relieved to have found such a wonderful alternative to kenneling my dog. They took excellent care of my dog, Rosco and were so friendly and nice to work with. I would absolutely recommend Paige 1000%.”

“Bosco always enjoys his time with Breanna and Clay. This was his first overnight and they kept us well informed on how he was doing. We'd have no problem boarding there again. Thanks!”
“Sandy did an amazing job! She gave daily updates and photos. My dog definitely looked like she enjoyed her stay. I highly recommend! Will be requesting again in the future!”

“I cannot say enough about the amazing care my puppy had with Elisabeth. We were very nervous to leave our 4 month d puppy, but she put all our fears to rest. She sent multiple photos, videos, and updates. Thank you again!!”

“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“Janelle was a great dog sitter for our two pups. She sent me pictures and videos every day so I never had to wonder how my dogs were doing. She has four dogs so my dogs got plenty of playtime. I highly recommend Janelle. I look forward to using her again in the future. Thank You!”

“Charlie looks forward to going over! He gets spoiled and pampered when he's there. She's our go to baby sitter everytime we go out of town. We always get quick responses and we also receive pictures through out the day. If you need a baby sitter this is the perfect place to be.”

Whether your cat is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I provide feeding, playtime, litter box care, companionship, and regular photo updates for peace of mind. I have been a cat owner for 6 years.
“We had Cassidy visit our two older cats for three days, 30 minutes each day. She was very punctual, asked good questions, and sent several pictures.

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”

About: I care for dogs by keeping them on a consistent routine and paying close attention to their individual needs. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and safe, supervised play time. I follow feeding instructions exactly, keep water fresh, and maintain clean food and water bowls. I also watch for behavior or appetite changes and communicate anything important right away. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I take time to build trust so dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether a dog is high-energy or laid-back, I adjust my approach to match their personality. As an active duty Army service member and lifelong dog owner since age 15, I bring reliability, structure, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Follow him on IG: GrimMboy_pdC I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my job is only about 15 minutes from my apartment, so I can return home quickly if needed. My spouse works from home, so pets in my care are supervised 24/7. I’m an Active Guard/Reserve service member and typically work one weekend per month — I plan all pet care commitments around that schedule. I’m up daily at 4:30 AM and keep a very structured routine, so feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and exercise schedules are followed consistently. I also have a home camera system to monitor pets throughout the day. On most weekends, I spend the day out and active with my own dog, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise. You may notice my rates are on the lower end. that’s by design! I keep my prices affordable and let my work speak for itself. If you feel I went above and beyond, a tip is how I know I nailed it. No pressure at all, but it means the world when people show their appreciation that way. I’m committed to giving your pet the best care possible regardless! I provide a safe, structured, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like family. Pets in my care are allowed to comfortably roam the home and are not kept in a crate all day. I have an American Bully in the home who is friendly and fully up to date on all vaccinations. All dogs are kept on leash during outdoor time for safety. I keep the home clean, remove hazards, and maintain fresh water and feeding areas daily. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. I also use a home camera system to monitor pets when I step out. While I don’t normally crate dogs, I can crate your pet if needed or if that is your preference.
“Emily was awesome to deal with. Very friendly, great communication and flexible with time. My dog really enjoyed his time with her and will be going back next time we’re in town!”

“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”

“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”

About: My sister and I moved back to our home town and moved in together (along with my 10 year old niece and my 2 year old daughter). Both of us have had pets all our lives, including owning dogs from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 120 pounds. My doggie Odie stayed with my ex in California and our current family recently and unexpectedly lost my sister’s mini-Poochon, Cosmo. We recently adopted a Labradoodle! Grover is super sweet and loves to have playmates but also understands how to give other dogs space. My 2 year old loves all animals and understands how to give dogs space and to read physical cues (lip curl, growl), but unfortunately, we can’t dog sit or board any dogs that aren’t okay with small children. We are okay with dogs that need some extra care (meds, help going outside to potty, etc.). We have a large fenced yard and we welcome pups in all parts of our house. Thanks! I work from home, my sister watches my two year old in the house, and my 10 year old niece does online school so lots of options for care and cuddles. My parents are also just a few minutes away if we ever need back up! We have a large fenced yard and can do walks as needed (although with some limits when the weather is super cold). We welcome pups in all parts of our house including bedrooms on the second or first floor if pups have a hard time with stairs.
“Elisabeth watched our puppy and did an excellent job! We received lots of pictures and video updates. She was well taken care of and had so much fun! We will be using Elisabeth from now on when we need a dog sitter. 😊”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly see them as family. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs overnight, provided regular walks, and helped with drop-ins for years. I now have one friendly 3-year-old mini Bernedoodle of my own. Dog care is a natural fit for me — I love giving pups attention, structure, affection, and play.

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

“Samantha took care of our 5 month old puppy and she was great! He stayed over night with her and he had a great time!

Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!
“Jessica was a wonderful, professional and extremely caring sitter / walker for my dog Leo. She was extremely thoughtful and made sure he was walked, fed and cared far exactly as I wished, and I am so thankful she took such good care of him while I was gone. I was nervous about leaving him for the first time with a sitter and she alleviated all of my concerns and exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much Jessica! Leo had a wonderful time with you. Looking forward to having you come back and walk Leo again!”

Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!
About: I’ve been surrounded by so many animals in my life. From cats, dogs, and water animals. I feel that whenever I’m around animals I become the happiest. I’ve taken care of little puppies, and senior dogs who are blind, deaf, and limping. I’ve changed many doggie diapers! I currently have a part time job with not many hours. I want to fill in my extra time doing something I know that I love. I’m very flexible. I have a fenced in yard. There are 3 friendly kitties that live with me, they’re super cuddly and aren’t territorial. There is a lot of open space for your pets to roam freely inside as well!
About: I absolutely am obsessed with dogs and they will get my undivided attention while in my care. I cant wait to meet them all. I have dog sat for friends and family since I was in middle school and have owned dogs my entire life. My fenced in yard will provide plenty of space to play and they will be allowed to sleep on the bed with me and chill on the couch to relax throughout the day. We will go for walks and chase squirrels. I have experience with just about every dog breed and understand every dog is special in it's own way. It's all about tending to that particular dogs needs and making him or her feel comfortable at all times while in my care.
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.

“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”


“Zurijanne is so amazing just so sweet and loving and that is reflected in her sweet fur babies! My hima has such fun play mates and looked so comfy and happy! She kept me updated and reassured me since it’s my babies first sleepover without me!”

“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”

“Kristin was very flexible with drop off and pick up, took very good care of my fur babies sent pictures without having to ask! Would recommend to a friend she was very nice and home was very clean! Didn’t have to worry about my fur babies on vacation!”

“Best sitter ever goes above and beyond my puppy loves his company and environment. He will send daily updates and pictures/videos of your dog and walks them. Will always use his services”

“Barb was not only accommodating to my last minute needs but she kept me posted daily with photos (per my request) and brief texts letting me know my dog was adjusting to an unfamiliar place. Her house was very dog friendly and having a fenced in yard and neighborhood for walks was perfect for my senior dog. This was my first experience leaving my dog with anyone outside of family and she made the process as comfortable as possible. I will be using her services in the future if I find myself in need, and have already recommended her to friends and family. Thanks again for everything, Barb!”

About: We have taken care of many dogs before in our fenced backyard in Sylvania Township. We are home full time 5 days a week and love to spoil our doggies. Days that we are at work, our doggies are let out during the day and played with. We are great with our 4 legged friends, love to walk them and are not afraid of dog hairs on our couch. We have two Golden's, a cat who is very social and one daughter. We send pictures daily! My husband and I both work full time, however my husband is in office only two days. Every other day, we are always home. The days that we both are at work, I come home to let our dogs out and play. We also have cameras in our homes where we check in on our dogs when watching others. We have two loving and playful doggies in our home. We also have one cat who is very comfortable around dogs. Our backyard is fenced and we live in a safe neighborhood.
“Paige was absolutely fantastic! I am so relieved to have found such a wonderful alternative to kenneling my dog. They took excellent care of my dog, Rosco and were so friendly and nice to work with. I would absolutely recommend Paige 1000%.”

“Bosco always enjoys his time with Breanna and Clay. This was his first overnight and they kept us well informed on how he was doing. We'd have no problem boarding there again. Thanks!”
“Sandy did an amazing job! She gave daily updates and photos. My dog definitely looked like she enjoyed her stay. I highly recommend! Will be requesting again in the future!”

“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“Janelle was a great dog sitter for our two pups. She sent me pictures and videos every day so I never had to wonder how my dogs were doing. She has four dogs so my dogs got plenty of playtime. I highly recommend Janelle. I look forward to using her again in the future. Thank You!”

“Celene was fantastic! She’s easy going and flexible with the pick up and drop off. She loves dogs and took such great care of Vinnie. We received multiple updates a day with photos. Vinnie got along with Penny really well. Would recommend and use her again!”


“Madison sent pictures and videos of my dog while he boarded at her house. I knew he was in good care and company as she has dogs of her own, so she knows exactly how to properly take care of a dog. She has even dedicated one area to her home just for dogs who are boarding. She is very flexible and accommodating as well. If in the future I need to board my dog again, I will choose her as I feel that my dog will be in good hands.”

“Rachel was great! We went on a five day cruise and she left daily comments and photos which put us at ease leaving our fur baby for the first time. I think Nutmeg really enjoyed Rachel's family, her dogs, and watching her chickens through the window! I wouldn't hesitate a moment to reach out and have her watch Nutmeg for a day or a week. Thank you again Rachel!!”

“Erin was amazing with our dog Kenai! She watched him for us while we went on our honeymoon and truly made Kenai feel at home! She sent plenty of updates and pictures to give us space of mind and we could tell Kenai just loved her and her dog Baz when we went to pick him up! I would gladly have her dog sit for us again and HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Champ came home got along well with Edgar’s dogs, Kya and Roo, and came home completely tuckered out. He enjoyed his time in the doggie swimming pool and playing tug of war. Edgar even made him some pumpkin and peanut butter cupcakes to take home! 10/10 will book with him again!”
