Highly-rated overnight sitters - Twightwee
“Kiersten provided a happy, loving, and relaxed environment for our doggo who is often anxious in boarding situations. Boo had a wonderful time playing with her other dogs and Kiersten took great care of her!! Will definitely use Kiersten again!”
“Debby and Randy watched my 2 dogs Clio and Sola. Less than 2 weeks before our trip Clio went blind, they agreed to keep them both anyway. I felt so much better knowing they were in private home care similar to their home routine. Debby and Randy made it possible to enjoy our vacation, I recommend them highly.”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“Kim was absolutely the best!! She took such good care of my girl! My Kaycee is a bit timid and scares easily and Kim took her time letting Kaycee get comfortable and gave her extra loving! I was able to go to my work convention and relax knowing Kaycee was in such good hands!!”
“The best sitter we have met on Rover. Our Dachshund moped for days after coming back home... She definitely didn't miss us during vacation as much as we missed her! Lots of pictures and videos during the stay provide peace of mind that your dog is receiving the best possible treatment. We feel very fortunate to have found Teah on Rover and we'll rebook without hesitation.”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Scott was so great with Jesse. He treated him like his own dog and gave us daily updates and pictures which I so appreciate. He also gave him lots of walks which my dog loved so much! My dog looked so happy and I could tell Jesse was sad to leave him. I had no worry leaving him for about a week with Scott when we were in vacation because I know my dog was also on vacation and having the best time.”
“Danielle and Jathan were the perfect sitters for Sesame, our 1 year old pup. It was our first time using Rover and the experience couldn’t have been better! They provided cute pictures and videos and made sure to let us know how she was doing - which definitely eased our worries!”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“Our pup Onyx loves staying with Taylor and Brian! Onyx gets along great with their two dogs and plays all day with them. Taylor and Brian do a great job being attentive and caring to Onyx. They send us the cutest photos and updates. Taylor and Brian are very kind and good-hearted people, we feel lucky to have found them to care for Onyx. We are repeat customers for a reason!”
“John is exactly who we needed. Best dog sitter I have ever used. I enjoyed my vacation more knowing that my little dog was in such good hands. He checked in regularly with updates. Took Birdie on walks and to visit friends and family. She came home very happy. Already have plans to use again!”
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“Ronald watched my puppy over a busy holiday weekend - not a small feat! He was responsive and sent updates throughout the weekend. Highly appreciated and would definitely recommend Ronald!”
“I was so nervous about leaving our newly rescued bulldog when we went on our first trip. Paula and Thom put all of my worries at ease instantly. Clearly dog-people, they showed him great attention during our meet and greet, asked thoughtful questions about his personality and preferences, and demonstrated a real knowledge and care for dogs. During our trip, I received frequent photos, which I appreciated immensely. Mack seemed to settle right in and make himself at home. Thank you, Paula and Thom, for your thoughtful care of Mack!”
“Katie was an excellent caretaker for my little pup, Rory. Super attentive and responsive, and takes great pictures! It was my first being away from Rory and I was totally at ease after meeting Katie and her crew. Rory fit right in!”
“This is the second time Lindsay has watched our dogs and she has done a great job both times! Our dogs came home happy and healthy after a week of snuggles and playtime with her. Thank you, Lindsay!”

“Jennifer is amazing! She always responded quickly and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I love! I felt very at ease leaving our cat in her care while we were away.”
“Patty did great with taking care of my two cats, and made sure to send me updates at each of her visits. She was very thorough, and my cats enjoyed hanging out with her! She even still came to my house even when there was a foot of snow on the ground.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats around me my whole life and absolutely adore them, even if they may be devious at times. I can feed them, play with them, and make sure they’re living their best lives and taking the best naps while you’re away on your trip.
“Daniel saved me over a holiday weekend when another sitter canceled at the last minute! He was very communicative and my cats enjoyed having him stop by. Couldn’t recommend him more!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Twightwee
“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals for 34 years after) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around (I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need). Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-8 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, lunch, then around 3-4pm around/after dinner time , and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my child, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. I have taught my children not jump around,not rush, nor scare animals. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them. (Off leash free to run roam inside the house and I have a mini tread mill if outside walks and inside play is not enough). Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
“Leo went to his first daycare with Katie and he loved it! She greeted him at the door and welcomed him and made sure the other pups were away so he wouldn't be overwhelmed walking in. He loved it and can't wait for his next stay! He was definitely tuckered out from all the fun he had playing with the other pups. You can tell Katie knows how to handle things and is a dog-lover. We're so glad we found her!”
“Kayla and her partner were wonderful with our dachshund. We needed doggie daycare while attending an event. Kayla was excellent to work with and took great care of our little baby. Highly recommend.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was 10 years old, including dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets, and I always treat every dog like they are part of my own family. I am also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and safe when leaving your puppy or dog with someone else. I am patient, gentle, and very attentive to each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just calm company, I will make sure they feel cared for and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I focus on clear communication, updates, and making sure your dog is safe, happy, and treated with love. I am currently at home while completing my doctoral degree, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Since I do not work outside the home, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I am available on weekdays and weekends, and I can work around your dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any special preferences your dog may have. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I provide attentive care, clear communication, and updates so you feel comfortable while you are away. In my home, pets will be treated with love, patience, and close supervision. I make sure dogs feel safe, relaxed, and never ignored. In a client’s home, I am respectful of your space and your pet’s routine, making sure they feel secure in their familiar environment. I will care for every dog as if they were my own.
About: I have been a dog guardian for 40 years including two Huskies for 10 years. I spent 25 years in San Francisco where my dogs went to the dog park twice a day. I was also a volunteer at the SPCA in California where I helped care for the dogs waiting to be adopted. Your best friend will get one on one and 100 percent attention from me. I only board one dog at a time unless they are from the same household already. I am working out of my condo as a freelance designer and make my own schedule. Because of this I am able to provide full time care for pets. I was a volunteer at the SPCA in San Francisco before moving back home to Ohio. I have a condo in Montgomery surrounded by green grass off the road. There is a great park down the road. I also have the option of boarding special needs dogs at our family home 5 minutes down the road.

I pride myself on building honest and positive relationships that last and would be honored to be trusted with your home and/or animals! With a rescue pup of my own, I can promise to provide the same unconditional love and commitment to your sweeties, as I do my own. I am an educator who works part time over the summers!

About: Worked as a vet assistant for 3 years at a vet office, medically caring for pets and assisting in surgery’s. Then worked for another 3 years at a doggy daycare, interacting and monitoring dogs or caring for the ones that were boarding. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I walk 3-5 miles a day, and would love to take your pup along with me. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, but kids that would love to have one to play with for a day or two. I have a large yard and live on a dead end street. I am always walking to get my miles in or outside with my kids.
“Ember had a great time spending the day with Joe and Laurie going on walks and meeting the neighbor kids! She also loved the deck and big back yard! I felt safe that she was in a nice family neighborhood and they kept her on a 100 ft lead in the backyard while playing and exploring. They gave her the treats that I packed and sent me cute photos of her during the day. Will definitely rebook in the future!”

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat, get references, or schedule a meet-and-greet. I have worked at a dog daycare for 14 months and have been pet sitting/house sitting and baby sitting for 5+ years:) I have taken animal behavioral classes and I plan to pursue my own business with animals. I am planning to continue to show my passion for animals through grooming academy which I am currently attending. Hope to meet you soon:) I currently work a flexible full time job at a dog daycare and grooming facility, and can take your dog with me to work any day 😊 I love walks and parks (especially ones with dog pools!).

“Ann was amazing!! Her and her family were great with Atticus and made him feel loved at home. She is quick to respond to my request and I really appreciated the time she took to make sure everything was set. I would definitely bring Atticus back for another day spent with Ann and her family!”
About: We've had dogs our whole lives and love the joy they bring us. We've been pet sitting on and off for the last 3 years and would love the chance to take care of your family member! Jathan works from home every day and Dani's office is dog-friendly and we have some flexibility between the two of us to both do work from home days. If your pup absolutely has to have someone there at all times or has medication needs, we can also rearrange schedules to have both of us work from home, or bring them along to the office! We have a patio dog door, allowing dogs to spend time inside if they wish or to let themselves outside to sunbathe, chase squirrels or burn off any energy if home alone. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard that everyone always has access to. In the summer we try to spend a lot of time back there relaxing, chasing bubbles and throwing the ball. We do have a hairless cat who typically stays in my sister's bedroom under the blankets. We make sure she has her safe space by not allowing even our dogs free access to her room and when we have new doggie friends, we typically put up an extra gate in the hall just to make sure everyone has their space.
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
About: I’m a dog owner and lover who treats every pet like part of the family. Our home is a peaceful, lakefront retreat where dogs get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Each dog will have their own private space and we have a puppy community areas indoors for the winter. Our backyard is not currently fenced but will be fully fenced in with a 6ft fence by March. We have 2 lovely dogs ourselves, a male mini Aussie and female puppy golden retriever. I’ve grown up around pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we provide a structured, nurturing environment with lots of supervision, play, and one-on-one attention. Your pup won’t just be boarded—they’ll be on vacation. From cozy private spaces to outdoor time and daily updates, we make sure every dog truly lives the good life while staying at our lakefront home. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Your dog will never be left alone or unattended in our home. My wife, our in-house assistant, and I work together to ensure dogs are seamlessly cared for throughout the day in a calm, structured environment. My wife is home full-time and is the primary caregiver during the day. She handles feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. Her background in childcare as a nanny translates perfectly into maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and providing patient, attentive care. Our in-house assistant is also home full-time and supports daily care by assisting with supervised play, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, meal prep, and individual check-ins. This allows us to keep our dog-to-human ratio low and give each pup personalized attention. I’m actively involved as well, helping with morning and evening routines, enrichment activities, and overall supervision. With multiple adults present at all times, dogs are rotated through play, rest, and care schedules so no pup is ever overwhelmed or overlooked. Because we are always home, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of affection—just like they would with their own family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We’ve intentionally created a calm, structured environment where dogs are closely supervised and cared for at all times. Our home is never unattended—my wife, our in-house assistant, and I are always present, ensuring constant supervision throughout the day and night. Dogs are cared for in a controlled setting with private, comfortable spaces to rest and decompress, helping reduce stress and overstimulation. We maintain strict cleanliness and safety standards, including regular sanitizing of all dog areas, food and water bowls, and shared spaces. We follow each dog’s individual care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to potty routines and any special needs. We are selective about the dogs we accept to ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone. This allows us to maintain a low dog-to-human ratio, closely monitor behavior, and give each pup the attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Our goal is to create a trusted home-away-from-home where you can travel confidently knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in great hands.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and have grown up with them. Neighbors and friends tend to rely on me if they need a sitter for a weekend or even a week long vacation. I am available to be working on weekends all day. Mondays and fridays after 3 pm. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 5 pm. I am a full time college student but live at home. I have a fenced in backyard for them to run around in. They’re is a boarding place a few minutes from my house if that is ever needed
“Jennifer is just like the most trusted family member anyone could have to care for their fur-kids. I’ve never been this relaxed or had this much faith in any other person.”
About: Hi! My name is Kaylee and I would love to spend time with your furry babies! Message me with questions about days I have open availability in the mornings! Growing up taking care of dogs made me realize how special the bond can be between you and any furry friend. I have experience in my daily profession working as a dog bather and in a doggy daycare! I love making friends with all of them and making sure they're all taken care of like family. During your dogs adventure with me I'd like to make the experience the most comfortable and enjoyable for them as possible. Additional services such as nail trimming, trail hiking, adventures and training sessions can all be included as well! All pets must be completely up to date on rabies, bordetella and distemper vaccinations and documentation must be presented. The safety of your pet is my top priority! Full shot series proof required. I have a very friendly fur baby of my own so even on days that I work I find it essential to make sure he gets plenty of exercise for the day. We love to hike, go swimming, go to the dog park and run around together, and we both would enjoy having some extra company along the way! At home, we have tons of cuddles and love to give. We go on walks often and many other adventures. For example, the dog park, hikes, bike rides, runs (etc). I can give baths too but am still saving up for some supplies needed to properly bathe long coated dogs (we’d have to do some sun bathing to get dry!) I regular clip nails, so if you’re interested we can include that too. In terms of dog sitting, I’d love to include all of the same activities, with any accommodations needed!
About: I have experience with a variety of animals from dogs and cats to horses, birds, and reptiles. These have been my own pets or others' pets. I've helped with puppy care and senior dog care. I am a mental health therapist. I have my own private practice, so I have great flexibility. I don't work on Saturday or Sunday. Those days I am open. I have a fenced in backyard for my 2 dogs. Inside the house they have plenty of space to roam, play and relax. They get walks and see their favorite vet when needed.
About: I’m a 19 year old college student attending Indiana University, studying business. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs. Currently I have an energetic beagle and two cats whom I care for. I am great for long walks or even runs with your dogs, and I am well versed with handling cats. I am fortunate to not have any time constraints and am available to help out during the day and early mornings. I am however uncomfortable with late nights. I cannot host pets at my house since I have pets of my own. I can care for your pets at your house and do not mind having them in my car if they want to go to the dog park or a specific park to play.
About: I’ve grown up in a multi-pet household and currently care for three dogs and a cat full-time, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From a young age, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals, including pet sitting for neighbors starting at 14. I have experience with a variety of feeding needs, including strict schedules, portion control, and working with food-motivated dogs (including using slow feeders when needed). I’ve also prepared homemade dog food, so I understand the importance of proper nutrition and consistency in a pet’s diet. I’m comfortable administering medications, including insulin, eye drops, and oral tablets, and I take care to follow instructions closely to ensure your pet’s health and safety. In addition, I regularly handle daily care tasks like walking dogs, cleaning up after them, and maintaining litter boxes. I’m used to keeping pets on a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and will always prioritize your pet’s well-being. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and plenty of updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible over the summer, as I’ll only be working part-time, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits throughout the day. In the fall, I’ll be starting graduate school, so my availability may be a bit more limited. However, I still plan to offer pet care and will keep my calendar updated to reflect my schedule. I’m happy to work with you to find times that meet your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs. I take safety seriously during walks and visits, ensuring pets are secure on leashes, aware of their surroundings, and kept away from potential hazards. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health and will communicate any concerns right away. Respecting your home is just as important to me as caring for your pet. I make sure to keep your space clean, lock doors and windows, and treat your home with the same care and responsibility as I would my own. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and photos so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Maureen is incredible!! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was so kind and sent tons of photos and videos as well as gave detailed updates each day! I feel so lucky to have come across Maureen on here- she will be our first choice for any future needs!”

Even while I read to my child, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. I have taught my children not jump around,not rush, nor scare animals. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them. (Off leash free to run roam inside the house and I have a mini tread mill if outside walks and inside play is not enough). Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Toryn did an amazing job and even ran with my dog which she loves but normally doesn't get to do when she walks with me! Toryn also brought our packages inside which she didn't have to do but it was greatly appreciated!”
About: Pets don't need much to be happy. Most are content with some peanut butter for dogs, or maybe a treat for the kittens! We all know that a little patients goes a long way, and we don't always have to understand to be able to help, and give good happy lives :) I'm here to help! Right now I'm fully available. Please consider me a full time pet manager, and I mean I'll walk! I'll talk! And I'll adapt to whatever it is you need done! I care for pets with the focus on maintaining consistency for the pets. So whatever the owner wants. It's important to lay it all out, and allow for small errors on all sides, and later we will build everything we need to succeed and give vitality to the pets!
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I grew up with three cats that are now senior kitties and need a bit more care. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family for years. In addition I also worked at a dog boarding and daycare for a few months so I’ve met and dealt with many dogs with different energy and social levels. I learned I prefer taking care of animals more one on one, or in a smaller setting. This way I can ensure your pets get everything they need and never feel neglected. My work schedule is as follows: Monday~ 4:30pm-10pm Wednesday~ 1:45pm-9:30pm Friday& Saturday~ 10:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-10:30pm Sunday~ 9:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-8:30pm. My weekend schedule varies from morning to night and i get my schedule one week in advance. I have Tuesdays and Thursdays completely free. I am also happy to move my schedule around if needed as long as i have a 15 days notice. :) I am enthusiastic about caring for animals. I will make sure your animals are well loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk while you’re away I will ensure your pets are safe, happy and comfortable when they’re with me. I’m available for walks, drop in visits or overnight stays.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was twelve, I love spending time with furry friends! I can help train puppies as I have trained 2 of my own, I have helped geriatric and diabetic animals as well. I am a currently student at Ohio State and have free gaps during my day since I don’t have classes on Thursdays or Fridays. I am an active person and go on daily walks myself and so I would love to have a buddy! My apartment doesn’t have many stairs so it’s easy for dogs to come up, I have a huge park right near me where lots of dogs like to go and play.
“Daniel clearly enjoys spending time with Louie, and it’s equally obvious that Louie enjoys it too. Louie is a very high energy doggo who always comes home tired out after a walk with Daniel.”
About: I am a full time pharmacist with a unique overnight schedule. I love all animals so I am looking for some jobs on the side caring for animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas and parakeets. I work third shift 7 days on and 7 days off so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I can make any schedule work. I have a non social bulldog so I am able to care for a cat or dog in your own home and could care for a smaller caged animal in my own.
“Melanie was so friendly and really went above and beyond. Even in this brutally cold weather! I would call on her again when the opportunity arises. Thanks, Melanie!”
About: I have experience in training puppies and administering medication to older pups. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with breeds of all kinds! I work very part-time and am looking for something else to keep me busy during the summer when I'm home from school, so I am turning to my favorite passion, animals! I always follow instructions carefully, and prioritize the safety of your home and your pets above all else. I communicate effectively and will always be someone you can count on.

“Kiersten provided a happy, loving, and relaxed environment for our doggo who is often anxious in boarding situations. Boo had a wonderful time playing with her other dogs and Kiersten took great care of her!! Will definitely use Kiersten again!”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“Ronald watched my puppy over a busy holiday weekend - not a small feat! He was responsive and sent updates throughout the weekend. Highly appreciated and would definitely recommend Ronald!”
“I was so nervous about leaving our newly rescued bulldog when we went on our first trip. Paula and Thom put all of my worries at ease instantly. Clearly dog-people, they showed him great attention during our meet and greet, asked thoughtful questions about his personality and preferences, and demonstrated a real knowledge and care for dogs. During our trip, I received frequent photos, which I appreciated immensely. Mack seemed to settle right in and make himself at home. Thank you, Paula and Thom, for your thoughtful care of Mack!”
“Katie was an excellent caretaker for my little pup, Rory. Super attentive and responsive, and takes great pictures! It was my first being away from Rory and I was totally at ease after meeting Katie and her crew. Rory fit right in!”
“Absolutely perfect with my senior dog. Kept me updated on everything. Sent pictures when asked. And even smoothed over my overthinking of her stay. Nicole will make sure your family member is safe while you are away. Will be using her when needed in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with many dogs and cats within my household. During that time, I have learned how to feed, bathe, walk, and care for all pets big and small. From puppies to our beloved seniors, I can do it all! During this upcoming summer I have availability to care for your pets! I am working part time but free on weekends and weekdays after 4pm! I live on a quieter street with only a few houses, through I don’t have a fence, I’m more then happy to walk your furry friend as much as needed!!
“Shannon & her daughter Michaela were amazing sitters for my dog! Minnie got plenty of cuddles and playtime! Shannon was awesome and sent lots of pictures. Definitely recommend her to anyone!!”
“Easy to deal with and great communication. The chill atmosphere made it easy for our Mac to transition and hang for a couple days. Will DEFINITELY look to Kathleen & Dave to host Mac again.”
“I was super nervous to leave my dog when going on vacation with my family as she was spayed a few days before and I wasn’t sure how she would be. Katie and her family loved BiBi like their own and my mind was at ease after the first day she sent me pictures and gave me an update. BiBi seemed to really enjoy her time with Katie and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous to leave their dog.”
“Our golden retriever Chelsea had a great time with Kanika and Jan! We really appreciated the meet and greet prior, frequent photo updates, flexibility in our timing with our travel, and the great effort put forth in considering Chelsea's needs and preferences. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”
“Alycia was wonderful! She made us feel very comfortable leaving our two babies in her care while we were out of town. We got updates with photos and videos throughout their stay which really assured to us that they were having a good time.”
“This was a very last minute booking and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Rob was extremely flexible with drop off and pickup time. Responded right away to my messages and sent updates. Will absolutely book again the next time we are in Cincinnati. Thank you for a great stay!!”
