“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our cherished fur babies in someone else’s hands. From the meet and greet to the final check in, Kristi went over and above our original expectations. She kept us informed, sending us photos, which truly made a difference while travelling. She provided many special touches which we will be forever grateful for as she genuinely cared and loved for our fur babies like they were her own. We will forever be indebted to her and without a doubt, use her services again! Highly recommend!”


“100% the best care I could’ve asked for! All of my fur babies were so well taken care of the whole weekend we went away! It was our first time ever leaving our 2 dogs and 3 cats and I will admit I was pretty nervous, Maya gave us nothing but reassurance! She sent so many pictures, kept us updated the whole time, and even made sure everything was kept in place for us. I will definitely keep in contact to use her as a sitter again! If you’re looking for a class act pet sitter, you found your girl!”


“Lori is AMAZING!! She was so patient with my "special/difficult" dog and really went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and that I was comfortable leaving for the week! I would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking to have their fur baby cared for!”


“Amanda was great with my two cats! We booked last minute but Amanda met up with us before we left to get familiar with the girls. She kept me updated with good notes and sweet pictures. I will definitely use Amanda again for our future trips!”


“Chelsea was super easy to work with! She constantly sent us amazing photos of our boys, and informed is of anything that happened. Definitely will be using her again in the future? Thanks for making this such an easy experience!”


About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I can not remember a time in my life that I didn't have a furry friend (or 2) I just really enjoy having them around. Learning their personalities is a challenge sometimes but its a challenge I enjoy. I have experience in most breeds as well. I understand that some dogs need more/less then others. I will follow your friends needs, and your instructions. I am currently a stay at home mom so I can work my schedule around your furry friend and your needs. I am only gone a short time to take my daughter to and from school during the school year. I live in home with a pretty decent sized backyard. I also have 2 huskies of my own who love to have new friends over. If for some reason they do not get along (because just like humans, that can happen) your furry friend will come first and my dogs will go ahead and spend time in their crates. I can also crate your friend if that is what you would like. I have no problem leaving my sliding door open for the dogs to go in and out on their own. I enjoy sitting outside and playing with my dogs, as well as yours. There is also a dog park not too far from me that I would take your friend to if that is something that you would like for me to do. I understand that sometimes dogs need a break from each other as well. They are definitely furry humans when it comes to their needs/wants/feelings. If your friend has a special diet, feeding time, or even a potty schedule I will follow that as well.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I have also owned mine my whole life. I went to tel tctc for animal management also. I own my own photography business so this is something I would like to do when I don’t have any sessions. I also do hair We have a invisible fence, and we have baby gates in areas so she can not get into anything. Our cat stays in the house.

About: I have been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was younger! I have helped not only my family but also my friends and other pet owners! I have learned over time what certain pets need and I am ready to learn more if needed! I will continue to keep my availability up to date every week when my work schedule comes out. Sometimes when I work it will be from 12pm-11pm so I would not be able to stay there all day. I’ll make sure to put that in my availability, and if that’s not a problem with you just send me a message and we can figure something out! Also, if I know in advance about any pet sitting, I’m able to get days off, so keep that in mind! I am able to do any care that you need in your own home! I am unable to pet sit at my house for the time being but I am working on it!

About: I was raised around animals, particularly dogs and cats. I love dogs, but I also like cats. I’ve raised so many from puppies and kittens. They’re my best friends. Time with animals is time best spent. I work part time second shift in healthcare. My schedule is fairly flexible. I’ll do my best to make it work, no matter how last minute. I live by the words “always leave a place better than you found it”. I stay within a client’s boundaries when pet sitting. Any pet mess will be immediately cleaned up.

About: I have had pets my entire life, so I know exactly what it’s like to take care of them. I have also taken care of cats, dogs, parrots, bunnies, fish, and turtles! Your pets care means a lot to me. I have also dealt with older animals and given pets medication as well. I have two dogs and two cats, so pet care means a lot to me. I am very familiar with how to properly take care of animals. When it comes to taking care of pets, I make sure even during my busy schedules to give them as much love as possible. I always make sure I feed animals the exact amount, and when they are scheduled to get fed. I also make sure to follow every accommodation owners set in place for me to follow.

She has been dropping in on cheddar for the last two years on and off when I need someone and will always rebook her! she shows up on time, is respectable of my home, and sends lots of pics and videos during the visit.”


“Laurel did a great job with our dog Reece and disabled cat Bobbie! We were worried how Reece would do with a new person coming into our home without us there. Laurel did great giving him time and space, he quickly warmed up to her! Having a disabled cat often makes it hard to find someone who will take care of their needs, Lauel did not hesitate and took such good care of her! Laurel was great with communicating with us and sending pictures. We will definitely be booking with Laurel in the future.”
