“Maria is absolutely incredible! She’s super communicative for every walk she does for our dog jojo, and always goes above and beyond. We couldn’t be more happy with our experience over the last two months.”
“Nicole is great and takes such wonderful care of my dogs!!!! My dogs are soo much happier and comfier when I get home from a long day at work after she walks them:)))”
About: I grew up around dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and ducks and loved every minute of caring for them! My wife and I have a 5 year old German Shepherd/Newfie mix named Noodle and she is basically an energetic seal with how much she loves water! We love taking her on trail runs/swims/paddle boarding/hiking and would love to do the same with your furry friends! I am currently working part-time and I have plenty of time in the morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays to get your pup some exercises/play/walks/or taken care of! I love making sure that pups get lots of exercise/stimulation and play time! Going on walks and spending time in nature is how I spent most of my time and I am happy to care for your pups in the same way or however they need love!
“Kaitlin is fantastic! She’s been looking after Loki our GSD since he was 4 months and now checks in once a day when I’m at the office to give him lovin’s and take him on a walk. She is also incredibly knowledgeable and is a great resource for new pet parents!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I have three cats and one dog. I have house-sat for a few families over the years and have really enjoyed it! I am a stay-at-home mom. I volunteer throughout the week and have planned activities for my children, but my schedule is quite flexible. I am happy to work with you and your pet’s needs! For dogs who are boarded at my house, I will provide at least one walk per day (distance will vary on dog’s ability, but I usually take mine on a 3-mile walk). I will have play time and will accommodate any feeding schedule necessary. For dogs being cared for in YOUR home, I will happily work with you on his/her needs and schedule. :) Same for cats and other pets!
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! Walking, drop ins, or boarding. Whatever your needs are, I am happy to give love to all your fur babies. I am available for walks or drop ins every day before 7:30 AM, at lunch time, and I am also available after 4:30 everyday and all day on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and am three minutes down the road from a dog park. I have three very friendly pups at home, a beagle, boarder collie, and Weimaraner.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes - I grew up with Labs and took on dog sitting when I was 18. Now 22, I have 2 dogs of my own and care for them like they’re my children. I have experience with dogs from Labs to Corgis to Huskys - I also have experience in training my own dogs with a local program, so I am well versed in being a responsible care taker. I work from home! A lot of what I do on a daily basis can be done through my phone and my schedule is very flexible. In our home, we love to keep our dogs active and socialize them. We take them on short trips to Hocking Hills, play in the backyard and go on walks to the local park. In a client’s home, I am always considering the dog’s typical routine to keep them happy while their owners are away.
“Julie was great with Kepper. She did a meet-n-greet with us before our scheduled booking and Kepper loved her! Julie took notes as we spoke and she got to know Kepper, and I was confident that she would take good care of her. She sent lots of pictures and a nice note with each Rover card, so I always knew how things were going. Kepper was always excited to see Julie. I'll definitely be booking with Julie again!”
About: I know how expensive pet care can be so I'm keeping my rates low and willing to work a deal out if needed to have happy customers. I am pet cpr certified I am home full time, cage free if your dog wants to be. 24/7 monitored and socialized if you approve. I promise to follow your daily routine. I have cameras set up in our home, all animals are leashed going outside and go out one at a time. I'm dedicated to update the owners fequently throughout the day.
About: I've had a dog in my home since I was born, having 7 different dogs in my home over my lifetime. For the first time in 32 years, I have no dog in my home, because I'm living with my sister and can't get one of my very own, but I have lots of doggie love to share with your pups! Im currently unemployed and lost my most recent dog last year, I'm not quite ready to take the plunge and get a dog yet, but I miss having a pup around and have a lot of doggie loving to give. I promise to treat your dogs with the utmost care, and like they were a member of my own family. I'll keep them safe and happy until you can be reunited.
About: I’ve been a cat owner for 28 years and a dog owner for 22 years and am a proud mom of three dogs (mini Aussie, GS/husky mix, staffy mix) and a few fish! I’ve been walking and pet sitting since I was 8 years old - everything from potty breaks and feeding, scooping cat litter, play time and long walks until we’re both panting from fun. I look forward to meeting with you! I am on a temporary break from work for several weeks so I have plenty of time to fully devote to your furry (or not furry) best friend! I’d rather spend my “free” time playing with animals 🫶🏼 I walk dogs at least twice a day, sometimes 3 when weather-permitting. I prefer a fenced in yard to allow free roaming for dogs to play, but if not, I love playing tug of war, fetch and keep away. For cats, I love every possible toy you can imagine but my favorite is the red dot laser! Everyone gets ample amount of pets if not more!!

“Noodle absolutely adores Robbie and he treats her so well! Because of him, she gets multiple walks a day, she doesn’t sit at home all alone while I’m at work, and she gets more exercise and play than I could give her myself. She is a well taken care of, happy dog in Robbie’s hands. 🩷”

Curtis F.Star Sitter
“Curt has cared for my dogs many times when I have had to travel. He is trustworthy, kind and loving with them. When he walks into the room, they go wild with excitement and shove their way over to him for some cuddles! A dog's reaction to a person really says it all! Dogs are very good judges of a person's character. He is kind and gentle with them and will protect them from harm near traffic and even keeping them from eating food that's bad for dogs. Give him a try and see for yourself how much your pup adores him!”
Danielle G.Star Sitter
“Danielle watches my dog when I go away for a long weekend or a week long vacation. I always know when I drop him off that he will be well cared for and have no issues.”
Julia D.
“Julia was born and raised in Colombia. Since she was a child she was an animal lover. She always had 2 or 3 dogs at home. After she got her veterinarian training in Colombia she volunteered her services to anyone who needed her. She also donated her time to shelters around the city. She is a loving, caring,reponsible and dedicated individual. I highly recommend Julia as an animal caregiver.”
Rhyan R.
