Pet Sitting in Columbus

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.

About: I want to share the love that I have for pets so their owners don’t need to be concerned when they leave town or are away at work. I will treat your furry companion just like my own. One of our labs, Dooley has an occasional seizure from time to time so we have learned and adapted to give him the best life he could have. I am willing to pick up your pets waste and learn to take care of your horses too. I will be true to my word and will exceed your expectations! I currently work from 7 am to 1 pm Monday to Friday so I am available to care for your four legged friend from 2 pm to 7 pm! I will work with you directly on whatever service you are needing. Meeting one on one with you before I care for your pet to make sure you are satisfied and feel comfortable with me before offering any services!

“Trina is tops! She is a very impressive person. She handled our energetic doggy, Izzy, perfectly. Dogs know the humans who love them -- Izzy took to Trina immediately. Her rate is very reasonable. I recommend her very highly.”

About: I love taking care of any animal great or small. I can walk, and feed dogs and cats. I also have experience with exotics such as hamsters, mice, birds, and reptiles. I'm a really busy person and have a weird schedule I work Monday 6-2. I can still walk pets after 2. I have a part time job that doesn't have a fixed schedule but message me and I will help.I'm available most mornings to walk and most lunch times. I'm available a lot after 5:00. I can feed, love, and play with pets. Animals mean everything to me so I will do exactly what you want me to do for your pet.

About: I have experience in dog training and all ages and sizes. I have been pet sitting since high school and have a lot of experience with dog behavior. I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m always at home with my dog or out running errands! I do go out of town often so message me to confirm! I ensure safety and care as if it’s my own. I know how it feels to not have a sitter or know them. I can do walks, play time, and even just being there for comfort.

About: I have been caring for fur babies for half my life. I love getting to know every individual, their personalities and little quirks. Small, big, young or old I love them all. I have worked with clients assisting in puppy training, administering medication when needed or offering special care to our more senior pets. I have also owned and/or worked with birds, fish, small caged animals, poultry and horses. Our animals are at the heart of our homes. I am here to provide loving care to those hearts or yours. I currently work part time remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available morning, noon and night and can easily work with your timetable. I am not currently offering boarding or overnight care at this time. I am available for drop in visits and walks whenever needed. If transportation is needed to get to a place for exercise like a park or trail I can accommodate that as well.

“Francesca did an incredible job with my two cats. Each day I was provided with an extremely detailed update of how each of them were and what was completed on their behalf (food, water, litter, play). Francesca even brought our packages in and fed our local birds. If you want to leave your pet knowing they’re happy, safe, and well-fed, booking with Francesca is your best bet!”

About: I have extensive pet care experience, having worked in a grooming facility where I handled a variety of dog breeds, sizes, and ages. Additionally, I have provided daily care for horses at a barn, ensuring their well-being and comfort. My diverse background enables me to offer comprehensive and compassionate care to all animals! I’m currently available Fridays/Saturdays for drop ins/walks or short term boarding but will be taking on more days soon. I can do drop ins anytime after 4:00 on weekdays I value keeping a cleanly and cozy space, for myself and my animals. My fur babies have a set routine and their own personalized diets/medications that we keep up with. I keep a written schedule as well for mine and my clients animals with all of their needs and schedules.

About: Hey there! I’m Katelyn. Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry companion(s). I may be new to Rover, but am certainly not new to caring for and working with pets. In fact, I began pet sitting as a young teen for neighbors. I have ample experience caring for and loving on: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, rodents, turtles and rabbits. This includes pups and kitties of all sizes, temperaments, ages and health statuses. I am Fear Free certified through my continued volunteer work with a local humane society. Fear Free is a nationwide initiative across the animal welfare community that offers online educational courses on handling fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats through evidence based strategies. My time at the humane society consists of but not limited to: walking dogs, providing enrichment opportunities for the animals, assisting the staff with adoptions, and staying behind the scenes to tend to the back of the house tasks that keep the facility up and running. My approach is to treat each animal as an individual and get to know each other according to their unique personality and preferences. Positive reinforcement and enrichment opportunities are my jam! My experience ranges from dog walking to extended period pet sitting to fostering both dogs and cats to assisting behavior teams at animal shelters/rescues. I am also well versed in daily upkeep tasks required for barn animals. I’d be happy to elaborate upon request. I split my time between the Tryon, Greenville, and Fletcher areas. I work in healthcare full time, which limits my availability to early mornings, evenings, weekends. Potential holidays with sufficient advance notice. Outside of my 8-5, my schedule is rather flexible- leaving plenty of time to take care of your furry ones! For house sitting bookings, I am able to watch your pets in your home only at this time. I believe animals thrive on routine and keeping their days as normal as possible when their person/family are away. Whatever their typical day to day looks like is how I will care for them! Safety is something I take very seriously and is of utmost importance.

About: I’m a software development student and bartender with management experience looking to fill some free time and make a little extra money. I can’t think of a better way than to spend time with your fur baby! My family has had dogs of all ages and sizes as far back as my memory goes. I am not a dog owner currently, seeing as my schedule does not allow for the full commitment of ownership each pup requires! I do have two cats and live in a two bedroom, so your pet will never be alone and will have space to roam about. Outside of work and school, I love camping, hiking, reading, and live music. I would love to take your pup in a neighborhood stroll, or have a companion for a short hike!

“Heather is absolutely incredible & caring! She really went out of her way to make sure my pups were well taken care of. She is amazing!! Highly recommend Heather for an incredible experience!”

About: Hi there! I’ve grown up my whole life taking care of & loving family dogs, cats, lizards and birds. I have my own 2 fur babies at home, and have extensive experience caring for and handling most animals. Ever since I was young, I’ve always had a deep passion for the unconditional love only they can give. Whatever they need, I assure you I can provide - whether they be elderly or one year old. I’ll be sure to give them ample snuggles, constant affection and more than enough walks/nature time! Right now I’m only working part-time (self-employed) so I will have so much quality time to spend with your baby! I’m home most days and nights. I will follow their schedule you’ve made for them, feeding them on time, letting them out to run/walking them, plenty of playtime and exploring, potty breaks as needed. I also update frequently with photos & videos of your pet, just so you have peace of mind and know they’re getting all the love and being well taken care of. 🥰

About: I have 20 years experience taking care of a range of dogs from small to large. I am a Nurse but have a love for caring for animals. I will care for puppies but I do not train them. I will be available for walks and potty breaks. I have experience with senior dogs. I am comfortable with large hyper dogs as well. I typically am available early in the mornings and afternoons. Except for days I work. Please let me know what’s needed and if I can accommodate more than my scheduled availability. I have a fenced in yard, love to take my pets for walks in the neighborhood or park. I treat everyone’s dogs like they are my own.

About: Hi! I grew up on a farm with more animals than I could possibly count! I love all the pups and would love to help care for yours when needed. I have two of my own sweeties that are very friendly. I live pretty central to Landrum & Tryon and happy to take for walks, drop in visits or for certain situations over night sit at my house. I work from home and as mentioned have two of my own. I let them out every 2-5 hours. I am pretty central so can work out drop by or walking schedules based on your babies needs! I have a fully fenced in large back yard, I have two of my own sweet dogs to keep company if you do a stay over and have a friendly dog. I can also crate if needed.

“I can't say enough good things about Heather and her partner! They take wonderful care of my rather difficult, mildly aggressive big dog. Highly recommend”

About: I grew up helping take care of dogs, from young pups to old pals. We had 3 pugs, 2 of which we raised, and 4 labs at different times, one of which we raised. I helped care for all of them into their senior years, and they’re all a part of my fondest memories! I make my living as a musician, working for myself, so while I can be busy on the weekends and go on tours at times, outside of those things, my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m extremely flexible during the week, and while my weekends are often busy, I could still be open to day-time checkins or walks. Normally, I know my schedule quite far in advance, so I can be reliable. I am prepared to treat your dog as the individual they are, with attention to any details and intentionality they may require. If your dog needs a place to stay, I live in a 3 bedroom house on three acres, plus a screened in porch. I welcome dogs inside and have lots of space to take them for walks. I have no other pets (yet!) and no kids, so I am able to fully dedicate my attention to your pooch. What’s more, I am open to coming to you, whether that’s day-time checkins or overnight stays, whatever your situation calls for!

“Wow! We could not be happier with Melanie. She is fantastic! Being new to the area, we were nervous about leaving our fur babies. Over the years we have used a lot of great sitters in other areas of the country, what we can honestly say is Melanie is by far one of the best! She is reliable, conscientious and great communicator. In such a short time-she knew all of the unique personalities and really took fantastic care! We will be using Melanie again and now feel confident we can travel knowing our babies are in safe hands!”
