Personalized care for your dog or cat - Stow
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Stow
“Kristen was great about updating me throughout the day, and I could tell my dog had so much fun and was well loved/taken care of. Definitely would book with this sitter again!”
“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”
“Keith, Rebecca and family watched our puppy for 5 days. She had such a great time! They sent me pictures everyday, and this makes me very happy. Thank you very much!”
“My pup had a very merry Christmas with Anita and her crew! This was his second time staying here, and, when he saw Anita across the street at dropoff, he pulled toward her excitedly- which is always so reassuring to see! Communication was easy and frequent, and we’ll book with Anita again!”
“Ezzy had a great time at Isabel’s! We enjoyed the pictures she sent and felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands! We will definitely have her watch Ezzy the next time we’re out of town. It was a great experience. Thanks, Isabel!”
“I could write all day about my dogs stay with Cornelia! I only expected maybe 2 pictures a day and ended up with 15! Pocket was played with often and walked on regular basis. Cornelia was even willing to learn how to use the e-collar and asked specific questions to make sure Pocket had a stay that was very comparable to being at home! Could ask for a better experience.”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“We had a great experience with Gabrielle! Everything went smoothly and Clover came home happy and well cared for. Gabrielle was so kind, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Susan and her husband were so awesome with our Kota! It was a last minute booking and they completely put our minds at ease. They took such great care of our dog and gave us continuous”
“Jan was so very kind with my baby Bentley, she updated me and made me feel rest assured with check-ins and pictures. I was happy to leave my mini schnauzer with her as she also has 2 mini schnauzers which made my pups stay extra fun to have playmates. I loved she has a fenced in yard where the dogs can run & play and feel free. Bentley loved her attention and cuddle time. I'm very picky when it comes to my baby and wanted to not worry and I felt she made me relax he was in good hands. I will definitely call on her for the next trip!!”
“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”
“Thanks so much for watching our Sadie. We always like to leave her with dependable people like your family. We would have had to completely change our trip to Boston if your family couldn't care for her. Again, thanks so much.”
“Sarah was very thorough with details and understanding of our our elderly dog's needs. She was flexible and communicated well. Thanks for loving on our sweetie!”
About: Since I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of companionship, attention, supervision, and flexibility throughout the day.

“Natasha is amazing! She took care of my 12 year old boxer who has so many health problems. She was very experienced and took excellent care of her. She was able to give her all of her medicine and my dog got so much love. She administered my dogs eye drops and also all the antibiotics she was on! She is reliable, kind and understanding. My flight was delayed and she was able to modify my booking which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely recommend her to everyone. A true gem!”

“Dee did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Blossom! She followed all instructions and was great about communication. She was also timely and sent a variety of pictures.”

She also sent lots of pics and allowed me the opportunity to watch them through camera footage. She was great!”

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.
“Tyler and Tara were amazing! This was the first time leaving our girls this long but they took such wonderful care of them and gave them all the love that they needed. 1000% recommend them for watching your fur babies. We will definitely be booking them for future trips.”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my pets! She went above and beyond- cleaning up a mess my cat made so it wouldn’t stain while I was away. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and rabbits my whole life. I’ve always had them and have even done 4-H with my dog and rabbits and was an advisor when I got older. 4-H taught me all about pet care and dog training and obedience. I’ve recently changed jobs so I can be home nights, weekends and holidays! This will allow me more time for watching your fur babies. I enjoy spending my free time on walks and being outside. Since I do work during the week, they will be home during the day and unable to go out. But once I am home, and on weekends, they can go out as often as they would like. I don’t have any pets at this time so your fur baby will be the only one in the home. I keep things picked up and out of reach for safety. I believe in harnessing and leashing before going outside and making sure they are secured properly. I also will not feed your pet any human food or anything not approved by you.
“Just looked at all of the pictures Marissa shared from the drop in. T looks very happy and like he’s very comfortable with her. The drop in worked out very well and I hope to use Rover more often for peace of mind when I have to leave my boy.”
“Bryeanna is an absolutely lovely housesitter. She is attentive, caring, and goes out of her way to keep pets entertained. Gandalf was in such a good mood when we returned. 11/10. We will be utilizing her services again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stow
“Our dog has gone to Zachary’s several times for doggy daycare and he loves it! Each time he comes home happy and tired from playing with his dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds my whole life! I am a dog mom myself and worked at the Canine Campus learning how to train dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I am currently enjoying time off post grad but am always available to check in on a pet or take them on a walk. I can do any time and day with just a short notice. I offer reliable dog walking and in-home pet sitting, giving your pets personalized attention while you're away. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and leash manners. I also have experience caring for both crate-trained and non-crate-trained dogs, and I'm happy to follow your pet's established routine to help them feel comfortable and secure.
About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for a range of animals from chickens to cats. From there, I have always had a pet to share my heart with. I have had guinea pigs, cats, dogs in my own home and have yet to meet an animal I don't get along with. I am looking for flexible work so that I can finish writing my novel without letting the burden of finances fall completely on my husband. I figure walking and caring/sitting for animals to help keep my family fed is a great match for me, my personality, and my love for animals. I used to work 13 hour days, an hour from home, so I understand the importance of a pet nanny and would be honored to help you with that need! My two fur babies, Lily (9 year old Ragamuffin kitty) and Ellie (5 year old German Shepherd) have different personalities and co-habitate beautifully, but I would not want to introduce other animals into my home. Both of my girls are rescues from different shelters (Angels for Animals and One of a Kind Pet Rescue) and they both lived stressful lives before me so my job is to give them sanctuary and love. That said, in regard to care, Lily is pretty self regulated. Every other day, her food bowl is re-filled (no, you can't see the bottom of the bowl but she's my sweet princess who gets what she wants) and her kitty litter is scooped every other day and changed as needed. Ellie is a rescued Puppy Mill momma who grew up in a very confusing way and is forever married to routine. To keep her happy and healthy, we let her out same time each day (7am) where she eats 1.5 cups of food, potty break at 12pm and again at 5pm (1.5 cups). Ellie's gets let out 3 times a day, per her wants because I try to let her out more and if she doesn't have to go potty, she turns around and lays on her Tempur-Pedic bed. Otherwise, when the weather is appropriate Ellie and I take a minimum of a 15 minute walk in the park behind my house. I hope this description helps you trust that your fur babies will consider me "Auntie Marah" soon enough, and that they are in safe and caring hands with me. I am happy to answer any questions!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, and over the years I’ve looked after the pets of roommates, friends, and family. From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I know how to give each pet the love, patience, and attention they need. I have hands-on experience with puppy training, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and medication if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities — I treat every furry friend like they’re my own! I currently work Mondays through Thursdays, but have lots of time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets! My schedule can be flexible which gives me the option to work with the schedule that works best for you and your pets. I care for pets like they’re my own!

About: With 10+ years of hands-on clinical veterinary experience, combined with a lifetime of growing up around, caring for, and working with animals, I bring over a decade of cumulative experience in veterinary medicine, pet care, and animal husbandry. My experience with animals began long before my professional veterinary career and includes dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, cows, horses, and many other animals. This lifelong connection has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, handling, and well-being that extends far beyond the clinical setting. Throughout my veterinary career, I have consistently pursued continuing education through seminars, conferences, specialized training, and additional coursework to continually expand my knowledge and strengthen my clinical skill set. I have maintained **BLS and ALS CPR certification since 2020** and have been **Fear Free Certified since 2018**, along with holding numerous additional certifications, continuing education achievements, and awards earned throughout my career. The majority of my professional veterinary experience has been concentrated in **surgery, emergency medicine, and intensive care/ICU**, where attention to detail, critical thinking, and the ability to recognize subtle changes in a patient's condition are essential. These experiences have taught me to be highly observant and proactive, with a strong understanding of early warning signs and indicators that may suggest a patient is developing a problem. I take pride in being attentive to the small details that can make a significant difference in an animal's outcome. Pets are my passion, and pet people are my people. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with both animals and their families and believe exceptional veterinary care should be built on compassion, communication, trust, and a little fun along the way. Whether I am caring for a critically ill patient, assisting with surgery, supporting a fearful/nervous pet, or simply making an animal's day a little better, I bring the same level of dedication and enthusiasm to every patient. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, valued, and well cared for—and every pet parent deserves to know that their beloved companion is in capable, compassionate hands. Your furry family members will receive the highest level of care, attention, and compassion I can provide—and we'll have some fun along the way. I am comfortable and experienced in caring for patients across a wide range of ages, conditions, and levels of acuity. My clinical experience includes the safe administration and management of oral, injectable, and topical medications, as well as monitoring patients receiving ongoing or complex treatment plans. I am comfortable working with advanced and late-stage disease, chronic and complex medical conditions, hospice and end-of-life care, geriatric patients, pediatrics, neonates, and emergency cases. My background in surgery, emergency medicine, and ICU/critical care has strengthened my ability to remain calm and attentive in high-pressure situations while recognizing subtle changes in a patient's condition and responding appropriately. I understand that each patient requires an individualized approach, and I am committed to providing compassionate, thorough, and attentive care whether a patient is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, beginning life as a neonate, facing an emergency, or approaching the end of life. I am equally comfortable providing hands-on nursing care, assisting with treatment plans, communicating observations to the veterinary team, educating and supporting pet parents, and advocating for the patient's comfort and overall quality of life. Pet care has been a huge part of my daily and weekly routine for more than 10 years. Whether I’m working in veterinary medicine or caring for pets in someone’s home, I’m accustomed to making animal care a priority and building it naturally into my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, habits, routines, and individual needs. For me, providing consistent, attentive care isn’t simply a job—it’s something I’ve built my life around and truly love doing. I approach every pet as an individual and tailor my care to their specific personality, routine, medical needs, and comfort level. Whether I am caring for a pet in my own home or in a client's home, my priority is always to provide a **safe, calm, consistent, and loving environment** that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies and kittens, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, medically complex patients, and animals requiring medications or additional monitoring. I can administer **oral, injectable, and topical medications**, follow detailed feeding and treatment instructions, monitor changes in behavior or condition, and recognize when something may warrant veterinary attention. My background in emergency, critical care, ICU, and surgery has made me particularly attentive to subtle changes that may indicate a problem. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect that I am also caring for someone's home and follow their instructions closely. I maintain established feeding, medication, exercise, potty, sleep, and enrichment routines whenever possible. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel connected while they are away. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a secure and comfortable environment while considering each animal's temperament, energy level, social preferences, and individual needs. I believe pets shouldn't simply be "watched" while their owners are away—they should receive attention, companionship, enrichment, affection, and quality care. Ultimately, my goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and compassionate hands.
About: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom.

“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“Natasha is amazing! She took care of my 12 year old boxer who has so many health problems. She was very experienced and took excellent care of her. She was able to give her all of her medicine and my dog got so much love. She administered my dogs eye drops and also all the antibiotics she was on! She is reliable, kind and understanding. My flight was delayed and she was able to modify my booking which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely recommend her to everyone. A true gem!”
