Communication was excellent throughout — we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!”
“We highly recommend Beth!! She provided the best care for our rambunctious golden retriever while we were away.

“Our dog was so happy staying with this lovely family! They treated him like their own, sent pictures often and were incredibly communicative. We’d definitely entrust our dog with them again!”
“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”
“Dawn was excellent with Ollie! Communicated throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures and updates. He seemed to have had lots of fun playing with her dog spike because he is totally exhausted. Will definitely be using dawn’s services again!”
“I appreciated that the pictures I received were actual interactions with Bethany, rather than "the dog is alive" pictures. Also, she held tough with the feeding instructions and the little beggar actually lost some weight.”
“Alexandria was really wonderful with my dog Henry! She was great at communicating both before and during my dog's stay. Henry seemed to have a great time and got along well with her sweet dogs!”
“Mary did a great job with sending daily updates and following my thorough instructions for my senior dog with cancer. He seemed to get lots of positive stimulation with her and her dogs. Would definitely book again.”

“Lacey took excellent care of the cats while we were away for vacation. We didn’t have to worry a bit, Lacey was communicative and went above and beyond. We highly recommend Lacey and are happy to have someone we trust for future pet sitting needs.”
“This is the 3rd time I have asked Avery to check-in on my four kitties while I was away on vacation, and she continues to be an exceptional cat-sitter! She is very responsive and detailed in her notes. She is my go-to for daily check-ins!”
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my 4 cats while I was away. With two of them needing medicine, it was a lot! Everything was fine when I got home.”
About: Don’t tell the dogs, but I’ve always been a cat person. I appreciate their way of loving and tolerating. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field for over 7 years with grooming experience as well. Can assist with brushing, nail trimming and other special needs.
“Talia took great care of my cats while I was out of town! One of my cats requires daily medication, and Talia did a great job administering the meds. Talia was very detailed in her visit summary and sent lots of pictures which helped give me peace of mind while being away.”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors cats for years and absolutely adore them!! I rescued my cat from the park from behind my house and have loved her ever since I laid eyes on her! All cats are welcome:)
“Kara was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my Fox Fox while I was away, providing regular updates and ensuring everything was in perfect order. It’s clear she truly loves animals—my pet was happy, well-fed, and even got extra playtime with their favorite toys! Kara’s attention to detail and kindness gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!!”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“Rachel is fantastic and very flexible for my needs. Will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended. No problems at all efficient courteous, and an invaluable help with my crazy work schedule.”

“Nicole is an excellent caring host. She has a wonderful large grassy backyard with a big tree providing shade and has a pack of nice regulars that are all easygoing . Overall it was an excellent experience for Cookie.”

“Kathryn B was amazing with my dog during our meetup last week and her first Day Care yesterday. She shared info about her day including pictures of my dog peacefully napping beside her pet and later napping on Kathryn’s lap. I definitely will book with her again and highly recommend Kathryn B.”
“Bueller had the best time! Lindsey gave a welcoming greeting to both him and my husband and I, making sure she knew all the details she needed to ensure he had a great stay. We received multiple photo updates and she had him clean and ready to go right on time!”

About: Hi neighbors! I’m a calm, reliable, and patient pet caregiver based right across from Westgate Park. With me, your pet gets consistent attention, steady routines, and a peaceful environment—not just a quick visit and a rush out the door. I have cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 40 years, and I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and those needing extra support, including insulin injections and attentive monitoring. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their rhythm. My home includes a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m steps away from the park for enriching walks. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. At home, I’m kept company by my senior dog Elle J, who has taught me a lot about gentle companionship, and an “adopted” outdoor cat, Alistair, who stops by like he owns the place (which, honestly, he might). If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to help. I’m available weekends and most major holidays for morning, midday, and evening visits, making it easy to accommodate walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Living directly across from Westgate Park also allows me to provide consistent, enriching care without travel delays. Because I’m already home throughout the day, I can offer reliable timing, attentive care, and flexibility for pets who need more frequent visits or a steady routine. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medical needs such as medications or insulin injections. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level to ensure a calm and positive experience. In my home, pets benefit from a quiet, low-stress environment with a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time and close supervision throughout the day. I maintain a clean, secure space and introduce new environments gradually to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. Whether in your home or mine, my approach is always patient, attentive, and focused on your pet’s wellbeing.
“Thank you for taking care of our pup and the daily updates. Chad and Cara were great communicating with us regarding Buddys stay and meeting his daily medication needs. Seemed like they had an easier time/merhod of giving Buddy his med than we did. Could not be thankful enough!!”
“Michelle was fantastic! Reached out on short notice & she happily watched my pup. She was very responsive the whole day, sending pictures and videos with updates. Tucker had a great time, I will certainly be a returning client! Highly suggest to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Cindy was great! Communicated and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. Sent pics and took great care of our dog Penny. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for our girl!”
About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.
“Naomi was an amazing dog sitter for our puppy, Alexis. We met her ahead of our initial booking for her to get to know our dog and for our dog to feel comfortable around her place and with her lovely puppies. Everything went well and she took care of Alexis for a day. She kept sending lovely pictures and videos of Alexis playing with her and the dogs. That gave us peace that she was having a good time. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend her.”
“Katie was amazing! Auggie had so much fun playing with all the other dogs and we loved the constant updates/pictures she sent us. We highly recommend her :)”
About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.
“Mary was great. Very flexible. Set up a pre-stay meet for our 2 puppies. She offered pickup and drop off. And she sent videos of the dogs playing while they were there. Terrific experience!”
“Suzanne is excellent. She took care of our puppy like her own. He was always happy to go and when I picked up. Suzanne made sure all care instructions were followed to the dot. I am glad we could find her. Will always contact her when we need to.”

“California is wonderful with Minnie—responsible, communicative, and always patient. It’s the second time she walks Minnie, and Minnie absolutely loves her time with her! Highly recommend.”
About: Having a bond with with your dog is my priority! They need to feel loved and wanted- even when you aren't at home. I've been taking care of two large German shepherds for years and I take pride in my ability to make them feel at ease and happy. I'm currently living alone and during the summer months I am available full time to drop by and check on your furry kids or house sit as needed. While working with pups is my goal, I am also detail oriented and observational to their needs as well as yours. I can walk, play with, love, care for, and protect your pets as if they were my own. They're part of the family, and deserve to be treated as such. I'm currently working part time as a caregiver in a home with 7 animals! But I love being getting to be the person someone can TRUST with their furry family. Your pet is as good as your child to me! My clients home is their safe space and I respect that! It is also their pets home, and that is almost more important to me; they deserve to be loved and cared for in their own space!
“Vanessa is such an incredible support. She thinks quick and stays in control. We have a reactive dog and she always provides a safe and supportive environment.”
“Nicole is a GEM! We feel so lucky to have found her! My wife and I needed someone to let out our two dogs for a potty break and walk our 6 month old Pittie Mix, Theo, at lunch time while we were at work. Right when I met Nicole, I could tell she was warm, kind, genuine, and would take great care of our pups. It can be difficult to find reliable and dependable people, but we could always count on Nicole. She showed up within the timeframe that we asked and kept us updated on how the walks went! I HIGHLY recommend using Nicole!”
About: Currently not employed anywhere else so your pet will receive my full time and attention. I love being outside so if walks for your pooch are required, rest easy knowing they will be plenty exercised while you’re away. I’ve had experience with big dogs and small, senior dogs and puppies, adult cats and kittens. I have experience clipping nails and claws and have no problem giving baths if needed. Currently unemployed so my routine is wide open to add a few furry clients. I also have a helper so if more assistance is needed for the animals, I’m capable of handling it Willing to be in the home the entire booked stay. Will follow the feeding and exercise schedule left for me by the owners. Keep pets comfortable and at ease
About: I’ve grown up with dogs but I also love cats! I am open to all animals as well. I am currently working as a pet attendant and also am K9 CPR/First aid certified. I currently work part time. I am mostly looking for weekend work during the day/afternoon! Depending on the day I may be able to do a special accommodation! I am open to any requirements you have for taking care of your pet! I am big on honesty,constructive criticism, and communication as well so there is no need to worry that your pet isn’t getting what they need!
About: I have 2 beautiful dogs. I have been taking care of dogs for over seven years now. I have personally trained my own dogs and their are both well behaved boys! Hi there! 🐾 I’m excited to offer reliable, compassionate pet care services designed to keep your furry family members happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services every day except Tuesday, as well as doggy daycare on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. As a full-time nursing student, I’ve developed strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and care. My background in healthcare means I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. While I may not have formal veterinary training, I bring a nurturing, detail-oriented approach that translates naturally into high-quality pet care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is structured but flexible within my available days. Because I am in school full-time, I carefully plan my availability to ensure I can dedicate quality time and focused attention to each pet I care for. I do not rush visits—I prioritize meaningful interaction so your pet feels comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” Whether you need a quick drop-in, a refreshing walk, or a full day of care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! 🐶💛 I can care for your fur babies in any environment. In my home I have a fenced in backyard where your baby can run free. I treat animals like humans and they are all welcomed on the furniture! I try to stay fairly active so I can take your dog on short jogs or long walks.
About: I have lots of experience with animals! I have one dog of my own named Millie and we’ve had her for about 8 years! I also work as a kennel technician at a dog and cat boarding facility and I’ve been doing that for about 2 years now. At this job, I have had a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and so much more. This job also has taught me to very good at reading dog body language. In addition to this, I also have experience with pet sitting my two neighbors cats. I currently have two other jobs now and am a full time college student. If your dog just needs quickly let out or a casual walk, that’s definitely something I’d be interested in doing. I am a very trustworthy person! I’m just a college student who’s looking for some extra money who just so happens to love animals a lot!
“Savannah did a great job with my dog. She showed up on time, walked her for the full 30 mins, made sure she had water, and left informative comments/pictures for me to review. I definitely want to book her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats that I treat like my own children! I’ve done petsitting for years for both cats and dogs of various breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, having me feed them, walk their dogs, spend time with their cats, and keep litter boxes tidy. I work full-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I have flexibility on days I work from home and weekends. I can spend the day at your home or drop in as needed, but due to having pets of my own, can’t always do overnight stays. Since I live in a small apartment with two cats, I can’t bring your pet to stay with me. Instead, I’m more than happy to drop in periodically or spend the day at your home, making sure your pets are happy, fed, and get some social interaction!
About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.
About: (I go by my nickname Rew) I currently have no pets of my own! Very flexible schedule. I am a detail-oriented carer and have a lot of energy for your special ones. Available for services morning, afternoon, evening, overnight. Open for holiday bookings. I will keep this section updated as things go on (will do my very best!) I care for pets in your home and offer dog walks. I do not board at my own residence. Let me know your particular instructions and I will keep good notes!
“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life; dogs, cats, a lizard and even a fish! I know how to handle all sort of situations and will always do the right thing! I work part time. I also go to college full time but still have all the time in the world for any pets!! All animals welcome here:) I will always make sure everything is safe and secure before leaving. Your doggo will be satisfied with his/her walk when I leave. I will be considerate and caring if i’m doing drop ins!!
About: I have had pets ever since I was young and my husband has also had animals since he was younger as well. We have lots of experience taking care of many pets at a time since we have 4! They will be treated exactly like our pets! Family, I treat my pets like they are my children. I am self employed so I work whenever I need to work. If I need to be home I can stay home it’s all based on my animals needs and yours too! Pets are always allowed on furniture and beds. In fact, all 4 of my pets sleep in bed with me, so yours is welcome to do the same! My house has a fenced in backyard with lots of room to play. I also take my dogs out for 3-4 long walks a day to keep them happy.
About: I have several neighbors that I’ve dog sat for before. I’m experienced in giving medication to senior dogs, along with providing walks and feedings plus giving them all the love they deserve. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently in school three days a week. While that does limit my time spent with your pups, I am still able to provide basic check ins/walks/potty breaks. I am fully available for more in depth care during the weekends. I will always make sure your pup is comfortable with me and safe. I will be sure to always keep them on leash for walks, make sure they are played with and loved, and follow whatever food routine they need.
About: Owned dogs for majority of my life, a couple rescues and one that the owner could no longer care for. Get along with every dog I have met. Willing to drive them to different locations for walks and to get them out of the house. Very trustworthy with people, animals, and homes. Have experience walking animals and house-sitting. Want to help people with their pets to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I feel dogs deserve so much in life and my hope is that I can repay them for what they have given me by making sure they are happy. Also want to help their owners because I remember how stressful it was when I would go on vacations or even short trips and worrying about our dogs and if they would be cared for.

“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! She provided a safe, comfortable place for my Luke to spend a whole week while I was on vacation.
