Dog Sitting in Columbia Station

“My pups love Devon! I also foster and she’s up for taking care of 3 dogs if I need her to. She is easy to communicate with, reliable, and provides great care for my pups. Highly recommend!”

“Casey was great visiting my two cats. I appreciated that he took the time to draw out my shy cat. He was also a pleasure to communicate with and was very reliable and attentive to details. I will definitely call on him again.”

Carol G.

“10 out of 10! I was out of state to visit family, and C.P. was so great about sending daily photos/ updates of when he was dropping by. Will definitely be booking him again!”

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my intuitive, patient, and highly observant approach. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" method for pet care. Instead, I use my deep understanding of dog behavior and body language to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, emotional needs, and energy levels. I specialize in providing a calm, low-stress environment, making me particularly a great fit for dogs that need a gentler, more mindful touch. From a young age I have been around dogs in all ranges - puppies, elders, rescues, energetic, anxious, etc. I help take care of my own dogs, family, and friend’s dogs when they are out of town or just need some extra love! <3 I am currently a graduate student pursuing a Master’s degree in the helping profession, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible and adaptable schedule throughout the week. Because my studies are largely self-paced and hybrid, I have plenty of open availability to dedicate high-quality, focused time to your pet. Because I care for your dogs through walking and house-sitting, my top priorities are absolute home security, maintaining your pet's familiar environment, and vigilant safety on the leash. I know how stressful it can be to let someone into your home and trust them with your furry family member, which is why I approach my services with the utmost respect, awareness, and care. Before we even step foot outside, I double-check that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted. I practice defensive walking and never let your dog off-leash in unsecured areas. When we are out on a walk, my focus is 100% on your dog. I am constantly scanning the environment for potential triggers—like off-leash dogs, loud construction, or busy intersections—and I proactively adapt our route to keep the walk calm and safe. Walks are tailored entirely to your dog's age and health. Whether it's a brisk, high-energy exercise session or a slow, sniffing-focused stroll for a senior pup, I let them set the pace. I treat your home with the highest level of respect. I strictly follow your house rules, keep spaces clean, and ensure your home is locked up and fully secure every time I enter or leave. Pets thrive on routine. By staying in their familiar environment, I minimize their separation anxiety. I stick perfectly to your established schedules for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and bedtime so their daily life changes as little as possible. To give you total peace of mind, I provide regular updates and photos. You will never have to wonder how your pet is doing; you’ll know they are safe, happy, and relaxed in their own home.

“Mary was wonderful, dogs were well taken care of. Loved the pics & communication.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life - mostly well tempered labs we got as puppies. Now, my husband and I have a pitbull who we rescued a few years ago that has taught us so much about patience and unconditional love. She’s needed a lot of training and nurturing due to her abusive past and we accepted the challenge. Now, I am comfortable with all kinds of training tools such as prong and e-collars, I understand how to read behavior and body language and feel very confident caring for dogs that have different behavioral challenges. I work frequently with a trainer (with 30+ years experience) who has really changed our dog’s life for the better and has taught me how to be a more confident and responsible dog owner/caretaker. Rover is my secondary gig - I am a full time personal trainer. I work mostly afternoons and evening but am available during the day during the week and most weekends. I frequently update my calendar, so make sure to check out my availability prior to booking! I can not keep dogs in my home as our rescue dog is not friendly to other dogs, but I would be happy to care for your pet in your home/neighborhood, which I am sure is the most comfortable environment for them anyway. I love to get my steps in and was an athlete for many years so I can take dogs for short or long walks depending on the owners desired activity level for their pet! I'd be happy to walk around your neighborhood or head over to a local trail or park as well!

About: Hi! I’m Robert. I’ve had animals all my life (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, raised praying mantids and butterflies). I trap and spay/neuter feral cats (TNR), feed birds, planted a pollinator garden in my yard…love nature and appreciate the relationship between humans and animals. My small dog Tyson is 11 or 12 years old and has some special needs (anxiety, hip-problems, blind in one eye, and I am his 3rd owner), so I know patience and compassion when it comes to senior dogs. Two of my cats I’ve had since they were kittens, and the third cat was abandoned by a neighbor and chose me as her new human when they left her. Happy to accommodate your companion’s special needs, and will be honest with you if there is something I don’t feel confident about. I also use two water fountain bowls, so your friend will have access to clean, moving water. I am a bar tender and have been doing that work since 2006, 12 years at my current bar. I work part time there and have a good amount of free-time which I can use to take care of of your dog. I have a large fenced in yard (176 ft of 6ft tall wooden fence) with plenty of shade, water bowls, central air and heating. Pets are free to lounge anywhere in my house, but I do prefer dogs to be crated if I am away for their own safety, and peace of mind for me :) Please let me know if you have any rules you have for your pets at home, feeding schedule, potty-break schedule, etc.

“Meagan was very reliable and flexible. She interacted very well with my dog and kept her happy and well cared for.”

“Jordan is excellent with our two cats when we go away. He is extremely dependable and always spends good quality time with the kitties. We would be lost without him. Would recommend!”

About: I have taken care of kittens, cats, senior cats, dog and senior dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and litter box care. I have raised 6 fur babies of my own as well as 3 puppies and a grand puppy! I have availability early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Working from home allows me to have a more flexible schedule and can plan for multiple daily visits. I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and prioritize your pet’s safety, routine, and well-being. Whether your dog or cat is social, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will provide patient and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”

“Shadia has been very helpful with my dog Stella. Stella doesn’t go up the deck stairs and Shadia assists when I have to go out of town with getting her back in the house. She has been a stress saver for my family.”

About: I’ve had a family dog in my life as long as I can remember. Currently own a well socialized and trained German shepherd. She loves walks and meeting new dog and human friends. Currently working night shift (7p-7a). I am very flexible to check in on and walk dogs during normal business hours. Message me for your daily walking needs. I have a pet of my own who loves to go on walks, well socialized, and is crated when I am not home. I am very active outside of walking/running my dog.

“We've hired Amber to take care of our two felines several times and she's been great. Excellent communication, on-time, and shows wonderful care for our animal family. We highly recommend her.”

“Ghazal did an amazing job taking care of Sam. She stopped in as planned and gave thorough updates. We were grateful to have lots of pics with each visit and it was clear Sam bonded with Ghazal quickly.”

“So incredibly kind, patient, and caring to our sweet but spunky 3 month old puppy. I will absolutely trust my baby in your care any time- thank you so much!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life! Mostly dogs but I’ve added a cat to my family and my sister has some bunnies. I’m the girl at the party who immediately finds the animal in the house and bonds with it!! I can’t add another pet to my clan but I’d love to spend some time with your sweet pet!! I work from home all week and get off work at noon on Fridays. I cannot take animals to my house but I have no problem traveling. Before taking care of an animal, I like to go to the house and meet the animal with the owners present. Then I can see how they behave at the house and get a run down of the do’s and don’ts

About: Growing up I had a sweet little fur baby named Bruno. He was a pug and my whole life. My family and I loved him so much after rescuing him he lived to be almost 16 years of age! Since then, I spent many weekends dog or cat sitting as well as working at a doggy daycare, called Paws for a brief period of time where I was able to hone in my skills. Daily/weekly pet care comes from observing the comfort and behaviors of each pet. There are a big dog park just around the corner of my apartment as well as a hiking route I love to take dogs to run around with. It's a perfect place to go for a few hours so that your fur babys can have the most fun! Safety and trust are the most important part of having an animal in my home. I want to make sure your fur baby is given everything they need so they can enjoy their time with me. Animals lives are short, and they deserve the best with the time they have.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

“Pierre was amazing! I put in a last minute request for Pierre’s drop in services during the holidays and he quickly responded. He sent multiple pictures per visit with my kittens being feed and litter boxes cleaned daily! He even grabbed my packages and placed them inside for me. Thank you, Pierre!”
