Pet Sitting Columbia City

“Mandy was amazing, attentive, and treated our cats like her own animals. One of our cats had a minor injury while we were away and she went above and beyond to make sure he was ok. We WILL be hiring her again. Thank you Mandy!”

About: I’ve recently started taking care of pets in my community after losing my lovely dog, Layla, to cancer. Doing so has been healing in ways that I could not have imagined!! I am so excited to continue this journey of love, support and healing. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I work in office during the week, but close enough to home to allow the pups restroom breaks throughout the day. And of course, spending the evenings playing and snuggling with the doggos. My weekends are free to spend all the time with them. I follow the instructions form the caregiver and also listen to what each pet is telling me. I provide a calm yet playful attitude so that everyone feels comfortable.

“Siobhan was very easy to communicate with and did a great job keeping us up to date with how our cat was doing. The house was in perfect order when we returned. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’m the person who stops mid-sidewalk to crouch down and say hello to every dog I come across! I was fortunate enough to grow up with dogs, but over time I’ve learned that loving them and understanding them are two very different things. Part of that comes from my sweet girl, Remy, an aussie/border collie mix who's been with me since she was ten weeks old. We are truly the best adventure duo. We're outside constantly: parks, forest walks, swimming, camping (but swimming is her favorite). She's extremely well trained, with a calm, shy demeanor and near perfect recall. I don't say this to brag (maybe a little) but to point out that even now, at ten years old, we’re still learning together. That process taught me that knowing a dog isn’t about affection alone. It’s about paying attention. I bring that same mindset to every one of my friend's and family's dogs that I care for. Each one has their own logic and their own way of moving through the world. Fisher, a golden, craves attention, so when she’s with me we build that into the day. She even has a standing date at a local cider spot. Oakley lives for the water, so that’s where we go. And then there are the subtleties, like how Fisher will dodge you if you walk toward her mid-play, but will come straight to you if you ask for a touch. These aren’t things you pick up from a guidebook. They come from watching closely and adjusting. My goal is always the same. Figure out what makes each dog feel safe, engaged, and understood, and meet them there. There’s almost always someone home. My partner works remotely full-time, and I work from home usually 3 days a week, so your dog gets real company instead of long stretches alone if we're boarding or doing a daycare scenario. Our days have a natural rhythm. Mornings and evenings are when we’re most active, with walks, longer play sessions, and time outside (unless it's the weekend). During the day, dogs can settle, move between spaces, or engage depending on what they need. I offer drop-ins, longer walks, extended play time like hikes, and boarding. I adjust based on each dog’s energy and routine. We live on the ground floor with a fully enclosed private patio (not a yard). Dogs can move freely between inside and out through a mesh door, and I’m often outside working in warmer months. It’s a calm, private, low-stress environment. I have a high-energy dog, so we are ALWAYS outside on walks, at the park, hiking etc. despite not having a proper yard. Remy is an easy housemate. She’s well-trained, focused, and usually more interested in her ball than new arrivals. She can be protective of her toys, which I manage proactively to keep things smooth, and I've never had issues with any other dogs. For boarding, I take dogs up to about 45 lbs to keep the space balanced. Walks and hikes are open to dogs of any size.

“Carla came over for a meet and greet in advance and was accommodating with our timing given we had just moved. She was communicative and even brought over her own treats for our cats, one of whom was being scared in our new house so she calmed my nerves by spending extra time searching for him! She’s very friendly and clearly has a lot of experience with cats.”

“Stephanie was incredible! She took care of our cat Sara so well, including helping with Sara’s medical needs. She was very communicative, always on time, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend her catsitting services!”

“Melinda did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Strawberry! My pet is elderly with health issues and going out of town can be pretty stressful. Melinda was attentive to my cats needs and gave me great updates about changes in her habits/behavior.”

“Kristina responded promptly to a late request for check ins and was great from the beginning. She was quick to respond and accommodating with times. She even volunteered to come by my house before the check ins began to ensure she understood feeding/medicating instructions. She went above and beyond and was always prompt with pictures and updates during the care period. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

Adam M.

“Thank you for treating my puppy with a lot of love and care.”

Tifanny B.

“Clio is a great sitter! Timely responses and great communication with attention to detail and safe, reliable care for the bbs. She knows how to give our old grumpy cat space and our young feisty cat lots of play and cuddles. The young one is especially nervous around new people but he warmed up easily to her when she watched them a few years ago and remembered her and white right back to cuddles this time around. Highly recommend!”

“Mei was so good with our 2 kitties, did a great job with taking care of their needs and playing with them! She was easy to communicate with and very dependable ?”

Megan L.

“Veronica was awesome. She took care of Lunita and his space for several days while we were out of the country. She even bought him treats because he was running low! I’ll definitely work with Veronica again 💛”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was in high school. Over the years, I have helped friends, neighbors, and family members by dog sitting, walking, feeding, and playing with their pets while they were away. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s needs and personality. I enjoy spending time outdoors for walks, making sure dogs get exercise, attention, and lots of care. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m available to care for pets every day after 4 PM on weekdays and I’m available for the full day on weekends. Pet care fits well into my routine because I enjoy spending my free time walking, playing, and giving attention to dogs. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting during these times and will make sure your pet gets plenty of care and exercise. I live in a clean and pet-friendly apartment located close to a park, which is perfect for dog walks and outdoor playtime. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised while in my care. I also have my own car, so I can easily transport pets if needed, whether it’s for a park visit, vet appointment, or emergency. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where pets feel happy and secure.

“Jessica was AMAZING! We had to book with her last minute and she was so eager and flexible to help out and was so good to our elderly dog- it provided so much peace of mind while we were away. We will be booking with her again next time we have to be out of town! Truly, thank you so much, Jessica! :)”

“Jennifer was fantastic! All three of my babies were well fed and happy! Great photos every day of the visit. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!”

About: I have recently lost my 12 year old English bulldog. While I’m not ready for another companion, I am ready to give love to friendly pets. I have experience with special needs dogs, large breeds, and dogs with special medication needs. I am comfortable with dog-aggressive pets as well. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and often work from home. I am available to care for your pet in your home, and mine as well. Looking forward to meeting your pets! I have flexibility and with proper notice I can accommodate most scheduling needs. I have reliable transportation and often work from home. I am open to discussing your pets needs! I have a clean and pet safe home where your pets are welcome to get on the furniture if they are allowed. I will be happy to use a crate if your animals prefer it, but they are also welcome to roam the house if they won’t destroy furniture. I care for animals as if they were my own, and they will be spoiled when spending time with me.
