“We left our puppy with Angela while we took a trip & despite being a little worried about leaving him at first, she definetly squashed those worries. We recieved daily photos, & when I did message, she responded quickly. Our pup always looked happy & healthy, as well as Angela giving him a bath for us so he was also very clean!”

“Bo is always comfortable and calm with Waffles’ family. Never a shortage of cute photos of the two of them having adventures! They’re our go-to!”

“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! My husband and I share our home with Boba, our sweet French Bulldog, who has brought so much joy into our lives. Being a dog parent myself, I understand the importance of routines, patience, affection, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel loved and secure. My goal is to provide a welcoming, low-volume, home-based experience where your dog receives individualized attention rather than feeling like just another guest at a busy boarding facility. Whether your pup loves cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home! I work remotely, so I'm home throughout much of the day and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Having a dog of my own, I'm already accustomed to regular feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection! My flexible home-based routine allows me to provide companionship and attention throughout the day, rather than leaving visiting pets alone for extended periods. I offer boarding and daycare based on my availability and intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at once so each guest receives personalized attention. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a welcoming home environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of individual attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to maintain familiar routines and respect each pet's unique needs. I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new boarding guests to ensure they're comfortable with me, my home, and my resident French Bulldog, Boba. I follow each owner's feeding instructions, medication requirements, and care preferences closely. I also supervise interactions between dogs, provide separate feeding spaces, and make sure every pet has a comfortable place to rest. I intentionally keep my bookings limited and provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Brittany was with our pup, Hazel. Hazel is pretty sensitive and this was a new experience for her. We had no idea she would develop some anxiety during our time away as we had only left her one other time. During the first 12 hours of her stay, Brittany recognized there was an issue as Hazel hadn’t gone potty once. She notified me right away and continued to keep me updated throughout the day. We decided it would be best for the vet to check her out. Brittany couldn’t have been more accommodating during this whole situation. She brought her to our vet as soon as they could see her. It was determined she was just anxious in a new environment and they provided some medication to help her relax, which Brittany gave her throughout the week. The issue resolved quickly after. I am SO grateful that she was so attentive and recognized the issue so quickly. Brittany continued to keep a close eye on her and kept us updated all week. She provided many pictures and videos, which we loved. I know she was in great care while we were away. Brittany’s dog, Lola, was also so sweet and welcoming to our girl. Brittany will absolutely be the first person we ask the next time we need care for Hazel. I couldn’t recommend her more. She is THE best.”

“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of Willow. She sent pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Will book with her again! Willow loved their morning jogs together as well.”

“Hazel was phenomenal. She was flexible with her schedule. It was easy to communicate with her. She updated me throughout the day. I would definitely recommend!”


“Tiffany was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time leaving Gimme with someone not a friend/family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, Tiffany was incredibly responsive, sent tons of photos and regular updates, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Gimme was in such good hands. Gimme is a bit of a weirdo with her own unique quirks, and Tiffany was so patient, accommodating, and wonderful with her. It was clear that Gimme was happy and well cared for, which meant the world to me. I can’t recommend Tiffany highly enough and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to care for your pup like their own, Tiffany is the one! ❤️”


“Brian was so great with our pup. He is shy of new humans at first, but Brian was patient and he warmed up to him. And had a blast playing with Brian’s dog Mario. I felt completely comfortable knowing that Avocado was in such great hands and having so much fun.”


About: As a former veterinary technician, I bring professional experience, genuine compassion, and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I offer personalized dog boarding, sitting, and basic training tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, prefers a quiet environment, needs extra patience, or simply loves some extra attention, I strive to make their time in my care feel like a home away from home. 🐾 With my veterinary background, I’m also comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be quite right, giving pet parents an added level of reassurance. My goal is more than simply watching your dog — it’s providing them with loving, attentive care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have many long term established clients that would love to reach out to you if you wish! I currently provide full-time dog boarding and training from my home, where caring for animals is what I love and do every day. My mornings start with my furry guests, and my days are centered around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 Every dog has their own unique personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I plan my days around each guest so I can provide personalized attention and care while also respecting the specific routines and preferences of my clients. While staying with me, every dog receives plenty of outdoor activity, exercise, playtime, and socialization, with opportunities to interact with myself and other dogs staying in my care. I also have a strong veterinary background from my previous experience as a veterinary technician, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when caring for dogs who require medications, special routines, or extra attention. Dogs with special medical or individual needs are always welcome, and I’m happy to work closely with their owners to make sure those needs are properly accommodated. My goal is to give every dog a comfortable, enriching home-away-from-home experience while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. ❤️🐶 When your dog is in my care, **their safety and well-being are always my top priority.** Dogs staying in my home are supervised throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, and I strive to provide an environment where they can feel comfortable, secure, and included. I have a spacious, beautiful backyard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play. Inside the home, I provide safe, appropriate toys and activities based on the individual dogs and the dynamics of the group staying with me at the time. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality, play style, size, and needs when deciding what activities and toys are appropriate. On the rare occasion that a dog needs to be left unattended for a short period of time, I offer **large, secure crates** for owners who prefer their dogs to be crated. If an owner prefers that their dog not be crated, I have a designated, dog-safe area of my home where they can relax comfortably and safely while I’m briefly away. In many cases, dogs are even able to **join me when I leave the house**, depending on the owner’s preferences and what is appropriate for their dog\. My own dog is with me nearly everywhere I go, so I’m happy to include boarding guests whenever possible\. Every stay is personalized to the owner’s wishes and their dog’s individual needs\. My goal is to make sure your dog feels like part of the family while you’re away — with plenty of attention, activity, supervision, and, of course, lots of love. 🐾❤️

About: I have always had a love and passion for caring for small dogs. Over the past three years, I have gained personal experience caring for my own pet, learning the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attention in helping a dog feel safe and happy. Throughout the years, I have also helped care for family and friends’ pets, which has allowed me to build trust with different dogs and understand their unique needs and personalities. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel loved, comfortable, and excited. I especially love small dogs because of their sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. Whether it’s cuddling, going on walks, playing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy making sure dogs feel cared for, loved, and supported. My goal is always to provide a safe, gentle, and fun environment where pets feel like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I have been caring for my own small dog for the last three years. Each day, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy building that routine because dogs thrive on consistency, attention, and care. Throughout the week, I also make space for longer walks, extra playtime, grooming needs, and quality bonding time. Since I have helped watch family and friends’ pets over the years, I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine that feels familiar to them. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I truly enjoy being around dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home 4 days a week and have plenty of time to help others care for their fur babies. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love when they are in my home. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, cuddle, and feel like part of the family. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I have a passion for small dogs, I really enjoy creating a space where they can feel comfortable and loved. Whether I am cuddling with them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Daniel did a great job taking care of Louie! He was communicative, sent daily updates and photos, and went above and beyond to be sure Louie was well taken care of. Louie struggles to eat in new places and Daniel did everything he could to be sure Louie ate as much as possible, it was so appreciated.”

“Nicholas and Emily did a great job! They were responsive and accommodating of my schedule, and sent adorable picture updates every day which helped me feel at ease while I was away! Molly came home happy and very sleepy, I can tell she had a great trip! I would absolutely book with them again.”

“Megan and Brandon are amazing! They are the first people I chose on this platform and am very happy with their service. I don’t live in Columbus Ohio but was visiting for a Hocking Hills hike! I had a brewery and a museum to go to and Megan and Brandon gave ideas on what to taste when I went to the brewery! We talked like we have been friends for a while and they were very quick with communicating with me! Their clean house, nice neighborhood, flexibility on scheduling, and very nice pups made it so much easier on choosing Megan and Brandon! I changed schedule TWO times and they were more than willing to accommodate my needy self! You are missing out if you don’t have them to watch your pet(s)! Thanks again guys!”

“Emily is amazing and always takes such great care of our dog! We can relax knowing she’s in good hands & having fun when we’re gone. When our travel plans got delayed, Emily went above and beyond to make sure Duncan was safe & taken care of until we got home…she truly cares for our dog as her own. Highly recommend!”

“Shannan was wonderful with our dog! She gave the best updates which we really looked forward to hearing. We were so appreciative to her attentive care for him and all the lovins, play, and exercise he got while he was there.”

Laura was fun to work with. She is knowledgeable about dog behavior and interactions, especially with those first time boarding. I felt confident that my dog felt comfortable in a new environment. Having a dog and family gave him plenty of playmates. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Definitely will use her again.

Brittany was amazing with our Yorkie, Reese\! She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure he got lots of walks and attention\. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Reese was being well cared for while we were away\. You can tell Reese really enjoyed his time with Brittany and Dior because he definitely misses them\! We’re very happy with the care he received and will absolutely be booking with Brittany again\. Reese is already looking forward to seeing them both again\! Highly recommend!

Kara and Paul have taken care of our dog, Biggs on many occasions. We can always enjoy our time away knowing that Biggs is in excellent hands. We receive many photographs of Biggs playing with their dog in their spacious fenced in backyard. We highly recommend Kara and Paul!
