We felt much better going away for the holiday knowing our cats were in good hands. Paige went above and beyond, not only taking care of them but also bringing in our mail and picking up their messes🫣

She was so reliable, on time, and sent pictures of and gave updates on my cats. Made me feel so much better about going away for a few days.

I'm really not a petty person. The reason I have waited so long to leave a review is because of this. Ashlynd did a very good job. With that being said, I paid $896.00 for 2 visits for 9 days. Ashlynd stay about 5 minutes each time. She also was putting the cat waste in the kitchen trash can. My house smelled bad compared to what I normally smell. I know this because I went over the footage of my nanny cam. She clocked in and out at the appropriate time but didn't stay for the 30 minutes that was said. I know my cats are not to social but if she stayed they would have come out more. I really like her but I will never pay that much again. In fact I believe I should get some kind of refund because she didn't stay that long.

We are very happy with Jeanna. We have 3 cats, one inside and two outside who have to be fed separately, making the situation somewhat complicated. Jeanna handled everything with great skill. We also loved that she sent photos of our pets at each visit.

About: I have professionally cared for dogs and cats for the past four years, from working at Swan Kennels boarding facility in Columbus to training and caring for professional sled dogs in Alaska and Wyoming, I am happy to provide love and care for your sweet fur babies so that you can enjoy your time away without stress & worry! I am currently working part time in Downtown Columbus so I have a very fluid schedule to run back and forth to your home and make sure your beloved pets are getting everything they need while you are away, from outside time to feeding to walks! I provide supervised outdoor time and play if you have a fenced yard, otherwise I provide leashed walks around your neighborhood to make sure your pet is getting adequate exercise time and the stimulation they need and deserve. If you crate your pet I am happy to make sure they are safely crated and cannot get into things they shouldn’t when I am out of the house with proper access to fresh water/food. I can also administer oral medication if required.

About: Ever since I can remember I have felt very deeply about animals and their wellbeing; my dream since I was a kid was to become a Vet, and so I did! Not only do I love to be around animals, but I also have the knowledge and patience to take care of their needs, healthcare, and wellbeing. I have always taken care of our family pets. The feeding, the grooming, and of course, the walks in the park and exercise :) For the past 6 years I have taken care of all my friends and relatives pets, when they go to travel, and even tend them when they get sick and need special treatment at home. Pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for evening pet sitting and care in clients’ homes, and I also care for pets staying with me, where they aren’t left alone for long periods. On weekends, I’m available all day. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and companionship so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I can care for pets in my clients’ homes, always following their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m careful about safety, making sure doors and gates are secure and maintaining a clean, calm environment. In my home, I have a fenced yard and two friendly kittens who are used to being around other animals. Pets are always supervised and introduced safely in a relaxed, loving space.

About: Hi! I have loved all animals my whole life! I've always had a dog in the house. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from chihuahuas to Huskies! I have 3 fish, 2 dogs (Husky and Australian shepherd), and 1 chameleon! Haha I have house sit for friends and family who own cats as well. I love playing and taking them for walks and just cuddling! I am a full time student so the majority of my time is spent online doing school but I am in pilot training so I fly for a couple hours everyday, but other than that I'll be home the majority of my time. I can't offer services in my own home because my husky is reactive towards other dogs. I can care for the animals in your home though. I am very respectful and can stick to pretty much any schedule the animals need.

About: I understand how important it is for your pet(s) to be walked a certain way, have their food prepared exactly how they like it (because if not, they simply won’t touch it), and be groomed to their personal comfort. That’s why you can enjoy confidence and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by a genuine animal lover who will do everything possible to make them feel safe, happy, and relaxed. I live in the county, about 18 minutes outside of Starkville, and I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care for pets in the surrounding area. I offer flexible scheduling with reliable, on-time visits, because pets thrive on routine and familiarity. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, midday check-in, evening walk, or consistent daily care while you’re away, I make their schedule a priority. You’ll never have to worry about rushed visits or missed routines — your pet’s comfort always comes first. Safety, trust, and consistency are at the core of my care. I follow all instructions closely, maintain secure entries and exits, and keep a watchful eye on your pet’s behavior and wellbeing during every visit. You can trust that your home and your pet are always handled responsibly and with full attention to detail.

About: I’ve owned pets for my whole life, but I also have 4 fish and 2 gerbils and babysat ferrets! I will always be free to check on your furbaby no matter the time, even at midnight, or stay the night with them. I am completely free all day every day since I am home for summer break from college starting May through early August. Unless I get another job this will not change. I don’t offer pet care in my home but I do offer services at your home, I can send you updates of whenever I arrive at your home, send you pictures while I’m there, update you when they potty, eat, what they do throughout the day, etc. And of course update you whenever I leave and tell you when I plan on returning. No pet parent should have to worry about if their animal(s) are getting enough love, that’s what I’m here for!
