“Teagan was fantastic and took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative! I will definitely have her back next time I need a sitter!”
“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”
“Anna did such an amazing job communicating with us and sending pictures of our 2 dogs while we were away. I plan on using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their animals :)”
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
“Evie stayed at our home, over the long holiday weekend, to watch our two large Labradors. She provided excellent care, and played with them often in our backyard. Evie was a wonderful house guest! You couldn’t even tell she had been staying there. She provided great communication which was a huge plus, so we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies. We look forward to using Evie for our next trip away!”
“Our fur babies were in good hands with Natalie. She kept us informed of how they were doing and gave them extra attention while we were gone. Definitely will have her watch them again for us.”
About: My family has always had at least one dog or cat since I was born. We have had large and small dogs, small animals, and cats. I love any animal all shapes and sizes! I'm currently attending Bowling Green State University. My schedule is very flexible this semester. This means I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your pet! I'd like to say I am good at reading animals' body language from being around them for so many years. While in your home I give the utmost respect to your pet and space if needed. I also do have one cat but if your pet doesn't like other animals I can let her stay with my mom for the time being!
“Wendy did a great job with my boys!! She followed my instructions to the T and asked questions when she wasn’t sure. My boys were happy and healthy when I got home. They were sad to see her go! I will book with Wendy again!”
About: I have experience with both older and younger dogs, including dog-sitting rescues and providing overnight care. Messes do not scare me and I am more than happy to keep you in the loop. As a college student, I may be away for hours, but my schedule allows me to attend to tasks between classes. My weekends are a lot more free and flexible. If you have any concerns about this, please reach out. At your home, I will abide by all rules and suggestions, ensuring your pets receive the best care possible. This means feeding schedules, walking routines, overnight stays, and more.
“Trista took wonderful care of our fur babies and home. We will definitely be booking with Trista again!”
“Melena house sat our two cats for 7 days. They were both content and happy when we came home. No issues. And the house was clean. Highly recommend”
“Susan did an excellent job in caring for Frida. She is everything you want in someone caring for your pet, dependable, caring and knowledgeable. She kept me posted with good communication and photo as well. Frida developed a hematoma right before she came and she was super in following the instructions provided by the Vet. She is simply the best sitter i have had,”
“Appreciate Christin coming out to meet my dogs and see home environment before finalizing booking. I got daily updates and all went well. Would definitely reach out next time we need care for our dogs!”
About: I absolutely adore dogs and I will definitely play and/ or snuggle with yours! I have pet-sat for many families and they have all said great things about me and keep wanting me back. Pet-sitting for others also proved to my mom that I could love and take care of my own dog. After I moved out I adopted a pitbull mix and have successfully trained her. I also went to pursue my dream of working in the vet field and currently am a vet tech. I am a very trustworthy and loving dog person. You will not regret having me as your pet-sitter! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! I am available for house-sitting on weekends and walks or play time during the week. Since going to vet school I have been trained on cat and dog first aid/ CPR, can administer any medications your pet may need, and was Fear-Free certified to work with any type of behavior from your pet.
“Angeline was amazing! From taking notes during our pre-departure meeting to all the updates and photos while we were gone, Angeline was amazing to work with. Angeline had great communication and was super easy to work with. We will definitely keep Angeline in mind for the future.”
“I rarely leave reviews because it can be time-consuming, and I do not have a lot of spare time usually. I am making an exception here, though, because this pet sitter was fantastic. Tille came to my rescue when I found myself in urgent need of a pet sitter after a cousin of mine tragically and unexpectedly passed away in his sleep at the age of 45. I have five dogs, and they had all the vaccinations needed for boarding except the K9 Influenza vaccinations, which are a relatively new mandatory requirement. Due to this, they were not eligible to be boarded at any dog boarding facility, and there was not enough time to get them all the vaccinations due to the two-week waiting period in between shots. One of my dogs is very protective and takes his duties very seriously, and had scared away two other sitters I spoke with prior to finding Tille when trying to make arrangements to attend the funeral in Washington DC, some 475 miles away. I was skeptical at first about the qualifications she claimed to have on her Rover profile, but within 5 minutes of meeting her, I knew she was the real deal. Her previous experience in working with dogs has given her the knowledge to work with aggressive and reactive dogs at an expert level. During our first greeting, she had me take my dogs outside to greet her so they would not feel as threatened by a stranger coming onto their territory. She loved them up with treats and affection and quickly won over their trust. I work in IT and have many expensive electronics in my house, way above and beyond what you might find in a typical home, and as such, I was very apprehensive about the idea of letting a stranger come and live in my house for three days while I was not just out of town, but a significant distance away as well. Given the nature of the circumstances, though, and her demonstrated knowledge working with the dogs that I witnessed firsthand, I went ahead and rolled the dice. I got home about an hour ago, and the house was clean, the bed was made up, the trash cans were taken out, and all the lights were off, and all my valuables, some of which were in very plain view, were exactly where I had left them three days prior. I will be using her again in the very near future for drop-in visits when I start a new job that is hybrid in nature, and I will be using her in July when I am going out of town for a wedding. Tille not only did the bare minimum required to care for the dogs, but she went above and beyond, following all of my instructions to a T, and I know this because I have cameras in the backyard and watched her play with them numerous times while I was away. I truly cannot highly enough recommend her or thank her for coming to my aid when I found myself in a real tough spot!”
About: I am a school counselor in the Toledo area looking to make some extra money when possible! I love caring for dogs and would love to help you out any way I can. Especially this summer when my schedule is more flexible, I would love to offer my services and spend time with your pup! I will be working full time until June 7th. From June 7th-the end of July my schedule will vary in flexibility as I am off work for the summer. I try to make sure the dog is as comfortable in their home with me there than when their owner is home. I maintain their typical routines and treat them with so much love and attention!
About: A little about myself - if we met at a party or other social event I would probably be the one trying to make friends with your cat or dog... or fish. I'm not particular. In a lot of ways I prefer animals to people :) I've had a pet (of some sort) every day of my life. I love dogs and cats, but I also love reptiles and other nontraditional pets. I won't shy away from a challenge. If you need someone to care for your aging fur baby(s) in your home with drop-in visits or in my home with boarding, I am happy to make it work. If you have long days at work I can also stop by and walk your furry friends. I’m currently available full-time for my pet care services, so my schedule can be flexible to fit your needs. While I prefer boarding in my home (it provides the best of both worlds—full-time care for the pets while I can accomplish other tasks as well), I can also do drop-in visits and dog walking at your location. I am currently in an apartment community but it’s pet friendly and one story. There are plenty of areas to go for walks and a patio in the back with access to green space.
About: Hello! I’m Marie! I have been an animal lover since I can remember and I’ve had pets since the age of 5. As a young adult, I do have friends and family that ask me to watch their pets for them when they’re away. Walking, feeding and quality time are all areas I do well in! I personally have a few pets of my own including exotics and have no issue caring for reptiles or arachnids. Axolotls, rats and rabbits are a few of the pets I have owned and cared for. I also have cats, a dog, bearded dragons, snakes, a hamster, hedgehogs and tarantulas! They all deserve the upmost care and love. So if you need someone experienced in all animals, I’m your girl! I currently work from 4pm-12am Sunday through Thursday. I am always willing and able to make sure clients are taken care of before or after work. I always follow what the owner wants. Lists are my best friend when it comes to precise things when caring for other’s animals. Routine is important as well. I walk my dog throughout the day and my cats are pretty low maintenance. I am exceptional with following your day to day routines and expectations.

Erin has shared that she has dogs and cats herself with other pets in between and she loves sharing stories about them. I would recommend Erin top notch if you ever need someone to help with your animal babies. She has above a 5 star rating from me, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!”
