“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”


“Amanda and her kids were very attentive to my dogs needs and took really great care of them. Amanda always responded when I messaged her about the dogs and sent me pics of their stay. I know my dogs can be alot to handle and I truly commend Amanda for taking care of my two dogs ontop of taking care of her 3 children! I was very pleased with how everything went. One of her children even sent my dogs home with a toy that was handmade for him! I highly recommend Amanda to sit your dogs they will be well taken care of!”

“Brooke & Emily were awesome!! They took great care of my Mastiff and Great Dane! They were so attentive and flexible. You can tell these two really put a lot of effort into taking care of the animals, playing with them & tiring them out. They were great, my girls came home, freshly bathed and worn out from all the exercise and playing . I would definitely use them again!”


“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Jasper really appreciated the photographs. Sorry I couldn’t communicate as we were away in Europe. Really appreciate your care.”


“It was such a pleasure arranging for my two babies to stay with Lydia and her family! She was incredibly accommodating when our plans changed, and for the two weeks we were away, sent us lots of videos and photo updates that assured me that my pups were in good hands. Both are a little shy, but they warmed up to Lydia almost immediately and seemed to have a great time (hardly missed us at all!). I was really appreciative of how sweet and gentle her daughter was with both of them, as well. Overall, we were 100% satisfied with everything and I hope she's available for any future trips, because we'd certainly love to bring our boys to her again!”

“My dog Jamie had a great time staying with Ali over Christmas this year. Ali sent me many photos throughout Jamie's time with her, and even got Jamie a Christmas present! I will gladly use Ali again next time I'm in the Youngstown area as it's evident that she loves dogs and is a great dog-sitter.”


About: With a passion for dogs that runs deep, I have hands-on experience training my Belgian Malinois, Eddie, for IGP and my Doberman, Moses, for basic house manners and obedience. Our adventures often lead us to hiking trails, where we bond, have fun, and enjoy the great outdoors together. My love for dogs has been a constant throughout my life, shaping my experiences and creating cherished memories with many dogs. As a dog sitter, my deep love for dogs has always been a significant part of my life. I enjoy dog sitting from my home because I work from home with a highly flexible job, enabling me to monitor the dog closely and provide constant care and attention. While dog sitting, I prioritize personalized care for each pet. With a fenced yard, dogs can enjoy outdoor play while being monitored by me or lounge inside, whether they prefer energetic activities or simply lounging on the couch. During dog sitting, I ensure clients stay updated with regular picture, video and text updates, keeping them informed and reassured about their dogs well-being. Clients can reach me anytime via phone or text while their dogs are in my care, providing peace of mind and quick communication for any updates or concerns.

“Melissa did an amazing job with our pup! She was loving and caring and went above and beyond to care for our beagle baby while we were away. She was very understanding and accommodating for us. Definitely booking with her again!”


About: I have a flexible schedule and work per diem in healthcare, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and love. I offer regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. During our time together, I can also teach basic tricks like sit, paw, roll over, and lay down—keeping things fun and mentally stimulating. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable, including the couches and beds. My home is smoke-free, peaceful, and full of love. I truly go the extra mile to make every pet feel like part of the family. Pet care is one of the most meaningful and fulfilling parts of my week. I work per diem in healthcare, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to caring for animals. I structure my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily routine. When pets are in my care, their comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, clean, and smoke-free environment where pets are free to relax, snuggle, and feel right at home. I take time to get to know their routines, preferences, and energy levels—whether they love to play or prefer quiet companionship. In my home, pets are allowed on furniture and beds if that’s what they’re used to, and I follow any feeding, medication, or behavior routines closely. In a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and care, keeping pets on their usual schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I believe in clear communication and always send updates, photos, and messages so you feel connected and reassured.
