House Sitting in Columbus

“I can't recommend Mckenna enough. She took such wonderful care of my dog, Bear. From the very beginning, she was communicative, kind, and professional, which gave me so much confidence leaving both my baby and my home in her care. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and lots of photos, which I truly appreciated. It meant the world to me and helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It was clear that Bear was getting plenty of attention, love, and excellent care. Knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it so much easier for us to enjoy our time away. Mckenna is genuinely one of the kindest people I've met, and her love for animals shines through in everything she does. She is such a sweet, genuine person, and I felt like I could trust her immediately. It's not always easy to leave your pet with someone else, but she made it effortless. I trusted her completely, and she exceeded all expectations. I am so grateful for the care she provided and would happily book with her again in the future. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping your pup company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to follow your instructions closely so your dog’s schedule stays consistent. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, relaxed, and at ease—even when you’re not home. While I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve spent many years caring for family dogs and dog-sitting regularly. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly with new dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from pit bull mixes to mid-sized doodles to small Maltese. I’m confident working with a variety of breeds, whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and relaxed. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your dog’s home. I also provide regular updates with plenty of photos of your pup, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I have a lot of availability this summer. I’m only taking a few college classes, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care throughout the week. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of my family pats ever since I was young, always had dogs and cats, I love all of my pets and spending time with them, can’t wait to meet yours and all of their quirks!! I’m only busy one day a week right now, which is Sunday's. Obviously there are days that I’m busy with friends or family or babysitting, something along those lines :) I can’t bring any pets to my home, my pets are shy lol, but of course any special feeding requirements or any special requirements in general, I love to play, keeps me entertained to :)

“Christine has now watched our pups twice and we definitely trust her with our girls! She is great with them and knows exactly how to give them love and care when we have to go away!”

“Didnt worry for a minute, pics and updates daily. Lauren was excellent with the animals and watching my home. Will definitely use the service/lauren again?”

“Melissa was great, She arrived on time or early. She fed the cats according to my schedule. She updated me with photos. She even put my dishes up and took my trash out to the curb.”

Regina S.

“Bonnie surpassed all expectations! My pups took to her immediately at the meet and greet, and were showered with attention during the overnight housesitting. Bonnie brought treats and ruffs for my dogs and sent several pictures and dates over the 2 days. My German Shepherd is especially a nervous Nelly, but he was happy and at ease with Bonnie right away. Caring for two big dogs is not the easiest, but Bonnie did an amazing job. I was so relieved I didn’t have to leave them at daycare and that they were being so well cared for. If you can work with Bonnie, do it! I am so happy to have found a reliable and enthusiastic carer for my dogs.”

“Gabby gave us great peace of mind while we were gone for 4 days, the first time we had ever used Rover and left our dog with someone other than family! Our dog and house were well cared for and she gave great updates, often with perfect timing throughout the day when we were starting to wonder how he was doing. We have great confidence in reaching out to her for future trips!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals feels completely natural to me. From playful puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need extra patience and comfort, I’ve seen it all. Because I’ve lived with animals for as long as I can remember, I’m great at understanding their body language, routines, and what helps them feel safe. I know how to handle different personalities—shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent—and I always adjust to what each pet needs. I treat every pet like family, because that’s how I was raised to care for mine. Your pets will get the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. As a college student, pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m always looking for fun and meaningful ways to make money, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me—it’s something I look forward to. I’m used to building my schedule around classes and responsibilities, so I’m reliable with feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific routines a pet needs. Helping care for animals is a great balance to school life and something I’m happy to make time for! When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or at a client’s—I always focus on safety, comfort, and consistency. I make sure pets are in a secure environment, keep doors and gates closed, and follow any routines or rules you already have in place. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, signals, and comfort levels so they feel safe around me. I keep their routines familiar—walks, feeding times, play, and quiet time—and I always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re happy and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, trusting environment where your pet feels cared for, understood, and completely safe while you’re away.

“Molly is amazing! She is accommodating, kind and trustworthy. My four labradoodles loved her! I received regular pictures of my pets while I was away. Molly will be my go to person for all future business trips and vacations. Molly, you are the best!!!!!”

“This was our first time having Bailey watch Trooper, and it was his first time being at a doggie sitters home. Bailey was very calm and reassuring with us on our meet and greet. When dropping him off for his stay we went over his needs since he is older with meds, food and etc. She did awesome with him while he was there and he had a great time with meeting/socializing with other doggies all sizes and ages. Would love to have Troops stay with her again!!”

“Alyssa was a perfect fit for our household of one momma dog and her 6 puppies. She was attentive to making sure all the puppies were eating and all the bathroom breaks the mom wanted. She would send updates and pictures to ease my mind. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I currently have 2 big dogs and 6 cats at my home. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and sometimes I come over just to see their fur babies. I love going on walks with dogs but also snuggling up on the couch with my babies. I currently have a 8am-4pm job but it’s with family so they are very flexible if I need to leave and come back during the day. I’m currently enrolled in college online perusing a degree in marketing as well. I’m a very gentle person and I have a lot of respect for animals space. I don’t like to rush or make them feel threatened by me. I often however, hit it off very well with pets and love to play with them! I have tons of acres at my home so my dogs like to run free or on a leash if needed.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and am now the designated pet sitter for my family and friends. Care I have provided includes the following: Dog walking...and running if your pup is up for it! I know some great trails in the area I think your pup will enjoy as much as I do. LOTS of playtime! I'm happy to take your dog to the local dog park, but if they're not social with other pups or you prefer to keep them closer to home, I appreciate a good workout running around the backyard with them and throwing endless rounds of balls or frisbees. Potty breaks: as you'll see in the schedule section, I work remotely and am happy to stop in whenever to let your pets out, take them for a walk, run them around the yard, or fill a dinner bowl. Feeding: just let me know their meal schedule and treat allowance. I've cared for dogs with allergies before so no problem if your pet has a sensitive stomach. Medication Administration: from eye drops for kitties to wrapping pills in pieces of salami for finicky pups Litterbox cleaning Bathing: I sat for the most rambunctious and fluffiest white pup during the rainiest week of April eight years ago. Every bath time since has felt like a breeze! Cuddles: your pets will be well-loved while in my care! They'll receive lots of pets and smooches. If they prefer a more distant companion, just let me know and I'll give them their space. Please reach out with any questions or concerns! I understand it can be hard to trust the care of our furry family members to others. It's important to me to care for them the way you would yourself. I work remotely full-time and am available for in-house visits and walks throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your family and pet's needs as necessary. At this time, no pets currently live in my home. I have a large unfenced backyard. When outdoors, your pet will always be leashed or unleashed per your instructions. I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and near trails that are great for walks. In your home, I will operate around your pet's schedule and environment. I'll ask thorough questions before caring for your pet which will include knowing your preference regarding outdoor time, feeding, bathing, litterbox cleaning or poop scooping, and the location of leashes, treats, cleaning supplies, etc.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. I can do feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, basic grooming needs, medication if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’m patient, reliable, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working full time 7-4, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups in the evenings! I’m available for walking dogs during the week at 5pm and anything later than that. I have a friendly pup to keep your fur babies company during their stay. I do not have a fenced in yard but that’s not a problem! I will take them out on leashes and for walks

About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I currently work part-time and am available Sunday through Wednesday. I’m in college, so mornings and afternoons work best for me to care for your pets. I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“We have a new puppy that we adopted that isn’t fully potty trained yet. Sarai actually stayed with her (and our older dog) while we were out at a party and did a great job. She was very punctual, friendly, and our dogs loved her. Thank you Sarai!”
