Pet Sitting Columbus

“Sarah helped us by taking care of our cat on a last minute demand. She has a great communication, and we were very happy with the pictures we had during the visits, showing that our cat Pivoine was feeling good with her! We totally recommend Sarah. Thank you again!”

“Elizabeth did an incredible job watching over our 2 senior cats! She’s was kind, responsive and provided my husband and I with a wonderful sense of safety for our fur babies. I highly recommend her!”

About: While I have only ever had cats of my own, I do have experience living with and helping care for family members’ dogs and love them as my own. Walking, feeding, cuddling and play time are some of what I can offer while caring for your pets on your home. I work part time so I am free to drop in Monday Friday Saturday anytime before 2pm or after 9pm. Sunday I work from 10am to 2pm. And Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am available all day. I am able to visit your pets in your home and make as many visits as required depending on your pets needs. Feeding, walking, playing, and maintaining the litter box are all important to maintain a regular routine for your fur babies while you are away. I aim to make your special ones feel as comfortable and happy as possible while their favorite person is away.

About: Besides caring for my childhood dog, Houston, since I was 11 years old, I formally became very involved in pet care during college. I joined an organization called 4 Paws for Ability that raises and trains service dogs for veterans and children with disabilities. I began as a sitter for the primary trainers on campus, watching their dog for a couple of hours during the day. Beginning my junior year, I began raising Red through 4 Paws, a 10 week old Golden-lab. I raised Red, while juggling class and work, until he was 1.5 years old and went off to advanced training. He now works as a facility dog at Dayton Children's Hospital. Since graduating, I remain involved with pet sitting for family and friends. I have sat my boss's daughter's cats (interesting, I know) and my aunt's puppy for a week. I love taking pictures of any and all animals, so expect photo updates often! I currently am a first year medical student here in Buffalo. Class is usually over by mid-day during most week days, making me very available for a walk or drop in visit. Furthermore, my weekends are pretty open for the time being, so I'd love to keep your pets company as a house sitter and have a relaxing (or active) weekend with them. I am very observant when it comes to things that are potentially harmful in reach of the pet. I will ensure your pet does not get into anything they shouldn't! Also, I have experience with ensuring dogs are safe in their kennel prior to leaving so your fur baby and home are safe.

About: I have been able to take care of animals (dogs and cats) since age 5 as I had pets throughout my whole life. I have also briefly owned horses building the skillset of hygiene care for larger animals. I absolutely love dogs. I have had experience with small dogs all the way up to English Mastiff and Ridgeback sizes. I have been a helpful pet sitter for many family members and some friends. I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.

“Ciara is everything you could ask for in a pet sitter and so much more!!! It’s a lot easier to find reliable dog lovers than cat on Rover, so I was extremely lucky to find Ciara! I have never felt so confident and secure about leaving my cats in the care of another person, I was finally able to enjoy my vacation without constantly worrying. It is an amazing feeling and I couldn’t have ever expected it. I am forever thankful for Ciara’s kindness and cat hearted spirit. She made even my anxious baby fearless and cuddly. I will absolutely be requesting for her services again!!”

“Amanda was amazing with my 2 boys......who she never even saw lol. They are both pretty anti social and wanted nothing to do with someone who isn't mom. She did hear them one day though! Amanda still came over and made sure their cat needs were met and even hung out to try to coax them out a bit and left temptations in her wake for them to find. Absolutely would recommend and rebook whenever we go away”

About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.

About: I had dogs & a cat growing up and always felt a deep connection with them. Up until May of 2026, I was the proud parent of a Dachshund mini who passed away from illness and who I deeply loved beyond words. I can relate to how scary it is to entrust your fur baby to someone else for their care - so I treasure and treat every pet-client with the same love & tenderness as if they were my own. I have done housesitting paired with dog care & cat care, pet drop/ins and dog walking for years. I am in the process of house hunting and can usually offer a good deal of flexibility provided I'm given enough notice. Feel free to reach to me about your scheduling needs and we can discuss the timing and care specifics. I am currently living in Buffalo west side and I’m willing to do checks or dog walking within a 1 mile radius. I usually greet them with some pats, soothing, joyful language, and a treat if allowed. I care for all pets as if they are my own because I loved my own little fur-girl SO much and understand the feelings of concern pet parents have for their fur-children. We all want to know our babies are safe and in kind, loving hands.

About: For overnight care I will shower your pet with as much love and care as I do for my own. Any time away for you should not be spent worrying about your furry family member at home. I'm a college athlete so being active is my specialty but I do also love some down time. I love all breeds and have been apart of different rescue groups for about a year. I've cared for pregnant dogs, puppies, special needs dogs, big, and small and love each one like my own. My personal commitment to your family and pets is unmatched. I can cater my care for whatever your family needs and look to make lasting connections so the search for a good dog sitter or walker will be over. I currently am a student with two classes a day so most of my time is spent at home! No major commitments throughout the week so my availability it wide open. My dog is my family member. I recognize the love for pets and want to make sure he lives the happiest life he can. I would express this same care for your fur babies.

“Spencer did a great job with a drop-in visit for my two cats, Zu Zu and Mr. T. He was prompt, thorough, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I appreciated the attention to detail and the care he showed for my cats. I’d definitely recommend Spencer to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Marideth. She was incredibly attentive and caring towards our little boy, ensuring he was well taken care of during our absence. We returned home to find everything just as we left it, a testament to her respect for our home. Additionally, her regular text updates and photos kept us informed and reassured about our pet’s well-being. We highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve always had a lot of dogs in my growing up, and have had to help take care of them. For the last 3 years I’ve dog sat for multiple different families. I am currently working full time day shift. I have plenty of time in the afternoon on weekdays to walk dogs and also have a lot of availability on the weekends. I am very comfortable caring for dogs in other peoples home. I have house sit and dog sit for multiple different people I’ve the last few years.

About: I have worked with dogs as little as 10 weeks to senior pups! I make sure they always feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I want every pup in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust their day based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. I provide attentive, responsible care and take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and specific needs before their stay or visit

“Jenna has been taking care of my pups for the past month or so and I couldn’t be happier. I work in NYC, 3 days a week and am gone about 12 hours an each day. It’s so nice to have found someone I can rely on to show up and take good care of my Benji and Bailey! Thanks so much Jenna!”

“Brianna is fantastic and genuinely the best person I’ve ever found on rover!! She was so attentive and trustworthy when we left our cats for 3 weeks in a new city. Brianna is kind, gentle, responsible, and caring; you can tell she loves animals and has experience with taking care of cats, especially playing with them, taking out the litter, etc. She cleaned up their messes (shredded toilet paper, litter) and took out the trash regularly. We came home to happy cats and a clean house (without litter/cat food smells) which isn’t always the case with cat sitters. I could not recommend Brianna enough!!”

Leyla & Youssef D.

“Xava was fantastic! She was so attentive and genuinely caring toward my dog. She radiates confidence, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her next time!”

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.

“Katie was fantastic with Viola, who can be a bit timid when meeting new people. Katie’s communication throughout the drop in process was prompt and she sent over pictures of Viola during her visit. I absolutely recommend Katie and will be requesting her services again!”

“Elise was great with our cat who requires daily medication while we were out of town. Communication was excellent! Looking forward to booking her again next time.”
