Sit
Where dogs stay, play & learn.
Sit-N-Stay is home-based dog boarding, walking, and training for the Cincinnati area — plus drop-in visits and pack outings, all from a sitter your dog already knows and trusts.
Treated like part of the pack — because that's what they are.
We don't do rushed visits or unfamiliar faces. Every dog we sit for gets real time outside, a sitter who already knows their routine, and updates that actually tell you something — not a generic "all good!" text.
Whether that means a midday potty break at your place, a long walk through the park, or a full week of overnights while you're away, your dog stays on their schedule — cared for at home during the day, or boarding right in Matt's own house overnight, never a kennel.
Getting on the schedule takes three steps.

Run by Matt MacLeod — Cincinnati born, dog-obsessed, and a trainer at heart.
Sit-N-Stay is owned and run by Matt MacLeod, a trusted, qualified dog handler with years of hands-on experience across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Beyond sitting, walking, and overnight stays, Matt also trains every dog he works with — obedience, leash manners, recall, crate training, and a range of other exercises tailored to what each dog actually needs.
Every visit is treated like it's for his own dog: real attention, real exercise, and a full report when you get home. No cages, no rotating strangers — just one consistent, experienced sitter and trainer your dog gets to know.
"Dogs aren't just pets to me — they're family. That's why every dog who stays with me gets treated like my own."— Matt MacLeod
See them, even when you're away.
Boarding your dog shouldn't mean wondering what they're up to. For overnight stays, Matt can give you free guest access to a live camera in his home through the Ring app — so you can check in any time, no website login required.
