“Paige dropped in on our dog twice a day for 4 days while I was away on a trip and I can't recommend her enough! She was very professional, prompt, and had great communication before and during my trip. She went above and beyond taking care of him and made sure to get all of his energy out during her drop ins. Louie made a new friend and will miss seeing Paige :)”

“We appreciated Morgan’s great photos and updates while we were out of town. After meeting Morgan we were confident we were leaving our beloved kitty in good hands!!”

“Amanda was amazing and took her time with our kitties, especially my shy boy that takes awhile to warm up to new people. She was able to get him comfortable with her and administer his twice daily insulin that he needs. She also was very attentive about checking litter boxes, water, and cleaning up any little messes. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of our kitties!”

About: For my whole life, I have been surrounded by animals in some way. Being the daughter of 2 veterinarians, I have always been around animals in some capacity and they have given me a lot of knowledge related to animals/pets. Beyond that, for the past 5 years I have been a volunteer trainer with 4 Paws For Ability - an organization that trains service dogs. With that, I have gained a lot of experience training dogs - particularly puppies. I have sat a variety of types of dogs and cats, and know how to handle each kind. I'm looking forward to working with you and your pet(s)! As a graduate student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. My only concrete commitments are my courses and my TA position. Beyond that, I have pretty decent availability and can work around your schedule. My schedule also leaves me especially open in the evenings and the weekends. I will also mention because of having courses and TA responsibilities, I cannot be home with your pet(s) 24/7 during weekdays. Your pet's care and comfort are my top priority. I will make sure, to the best of my ability, that your animal will be safe in my hands. I will follow any and all instructions given - whether related to walks, potty breaks, or house sitting.

“Fantastic and my little girl loves him!”

About: My family has had at least one dog at all times growing up, from huskies to german shepard to jack russell terriers. We rescued a cat about 10 years ago and have loved the extra furry friend since! I now have a 2.5 month old orange cat who lives up to all the orange cat stereotypes. I love all animals, but do have a soft spot for a rescue. I can’t wait to take care of your animal, giving you peace of mind while you’re gone! I am a full-time Optometry student at OSU, working over the summer as a research assistant. When not in school, you can find me taking a spin class or going on a walk outside. I would love to take your fur baby out with me to sniff around and enjoy Columbus. I have a flexible schedule during the school year and will work to keep your animal's routine as comfortable and consistent as possible! My top priority is the health and comfort of your furry friend while you are away! I love spending time petting, brushing or playing with all animals and will do the same for yours. I personally love lots of pictures when I am gone, so be sure to look out for those!

About: I have grown up with dogs ever since I was little, they have always been one of the most important parts of my life. I am very dedicated to forming a relationship with with any animal I have the privilege to care for, whether cat or dog! I have experience taking care of senior dogs and administering medication, as well as puppies/house training. I am a school teacher, and currently on summer break! That being said, my availability is very open. Sundays are my only day I do not sit, all other days I will make sure your family is at the top of my priority list. It is most important to me to make sure your dog is safe and secure in your home. This includes following routines, keeping track of habits or new behaviors, keeping pet areas clean and picked up. For your home specifically, I'll make sure to grab mail and potential packages, as well as double checking locks and all security routines to ensure your property is prepared for your homecoming :)

“Victoria is a gem!! She watched our 2 dogs and cat on our last vacation. She was very attentive to the animals and very communicative to us. She was great and would definitely use again!”

“Ellen is a wonderful dog sitter! She always shares updates and pictures. I never worry when she is caring for my dogs because I know they are in good hands!”

About: I grew up with a family dog and was always involved in feeding and walks. As an adult I've watched and checked on dogs for several family members and friends. I am available for feedings and walks and happy to work on any training or commands with your pets! I have experience with all dog sizes. This is currently my full-time job so I have a wide range of availability! I will also be in Columbus for most of the summer so I'm happy to help during any summer vacation plans! I am very respectful of any house rules while dog sitting. I have watched dogs that cannot be alone in yards or need to be crated while alone or during the night. I will do everything I need to make sure the dog is comfortable while I watch them and to respect your home.

“Christal was amazing with my hyper and strong pitty! She has some reactivity issues and I always get worried leaving her but Christal eased those anxieties with texts, pictures, and videos of their walks and play time. Highly recommend!”

“Rachelle took great care of our dogs!”

“Paige was a fantastic sitter. She watched my dog over Christmas and made sure he was safe during the snow storm. Paige went above and beyond to make sure he was okay and the house was protected from the cold spell. I will be asking her to watch Sal again!”

About: Even though I’ve never had a pet of my own, I’ve always been surrounded by animals I love—through babysitting, pet sitting, and spending time with friends’ and family’s pets. I think what sets me apart is how grateful I am for every chance I get to care for someone’s furry family member. I bring lots of patience, affection, and attention to detail because I know how special your pet is to you. I’ve never met a pet I didn’t love, and I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, and I always do my best to follow your routines closely to keep your pet feeling safe and happy while you’re away. Right now it’s summer, so I’m not in classes and have a flexible schedule! I’m working a part-time job with hours that leave me plenty of availability for pet care- whether it’s daytime walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I also love to stay active, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m always happy to make it a priority in my day. Additionally, I go to school at The Ohio State University, meaning that even once I go back to school, I’ll still be in the area and willing to help out! Since I don’t have pets at my own home, I offer care in my clients’ homes-where pets are most comfortable and surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and quirks so I can provide consistent and loving care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times, going for regular walks, or giving lots of cuddles and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m respectful of your space and always aim to keep things clean, calm, and stress-free for both you and your pet.

“Merri was so fantastic to coordinate and communicate with, and I'm sure Yuka loved her visits because he got to go outside! Merri is trustworthy and I appreciate the effort into doing a meet and greet to familiarize herself with Yuka.”

About: I grew up with a house full of pets. I have experience with training puppies and senior care. I have volunteered at a shelter as a dog walker for dogs of all ages and sizes. Your dog will be well cared for during our time together. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work full time as a teacher, so I am hard working, trustworthy, reliable, and friendly. I can easily fit evening walks into my schedule. I have great insight into the needs of animals and am a quick thinker. I will make sure your pets walks are a fun and rewarding experience!

About: I grew up with a French Bulldog & Olde English Bulldog, so I’m used to dealing with sleepy dogs and also dogs who need to be run around to burst some energy! I am eager and care about dogs’ health, safety, and comfort. I have worked with puppies who need potty trained as well as senior dogs who need more intentional care as well. I work 9-5 Monday-Friday so I tend to me available mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays! I enjoy meeting dogs where they are at. If the need a long walk, then I look forward to exploring a new neighborhood. If they need naps and chill time, then I’ll make sure the home and cozy and comfortable for them. I want dogs to feel like their owners never left by sticking to the routine they are most comfortable with. I have worked with owners who have fences and don’t have fences. I am comfortable with crating but also have had dogs sleep with me if that is what preferred. Whenever I care for dogs I try to keep their routine what they are used to while taking into account their safety. In your home, I will make sure to follow any instructions and routines you need and the dog needs as well!

“Professional and kind! Will book again! :)”
