“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”

“Very last minute had availability for us and overall great experience! Great and fast communication and updates with pictures. Will definitely book again ❤️”

“I booked day care for my daughter's dog Gunner for the entire day on 4/4. I met with Kathryn and Teddy a few days before leaving him at her house and felt good about the upcoming visit afterwards. Kathryn sent me multiple photos during the day which I truly appreciated. It was great to be able to leave him somewhere I felt would allow him to be less anxious as Kathryn let me bring his pet bed and pillow which he uses regularly at home. He also has multiple small feedings through the day which she gave him. The fenced in yard she has is huge! I'm grateful to have a place I can take Gunner where I will feel I can take care of any business at hand with no worries about leaving him.”

“We were in from out of town and had to make an emergency last minute booking. Christina was happy to have our girls! She was super warm and welcoming and gave regular updates. When we picked up our pups, she surprised us with a cute painting she did with their paws! 100% would recommend her to anyone in the area.”

About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.
About: I am a dog lover and have had dogs in the past of varying ages and temperaments. I am a firm believer that pets bring out the best in us and I am no exception! While it is not the right time in my life to get another dog, I still love spending time with them! I am currently working remotely and would love to watch after some pets while doing so after moving here from Indiana. I have had dogs throughout my life and love caring for them! I am very attentive to each pet's needs whether it be how frequently they need to go out or if I need to make a nice fluffy spot for them to lay down!
About: Hi neighbors! I’m a calm, reliable, and patient pet caregiver based right across from Westgate Park. I work from home, which means your pet gets consistent attention, steady routines, and a peaceful environment—not just a quick visit and a rush out the door. I have cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 40 years, and I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and those needing extra support, including insulin injections and attentive monitoring. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their rhythm. My home includes a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m steps away from the park for enriching walks. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. At home, I’m kept company by my senior dog Elle J, who has taught me a lot about gentle companionship, and an “adopted” outdoor cat, Alistair, who stops by like he owns the place (which, honestly, he might). If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, making it easy to accommodate walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Living directly across from Westgate Park also allows me to provide consistent, enriching walks without travel delays. Because I’m already home throughout the day, I can offer reliable timing, attentive care, and flexibility for pets who need more frequent visits or a steady routine. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medical needs such as medications or insulin injections. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level to ensure a calm and positive experience. In my home, pets benefit from a quiet, low-stress environment with a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time and close supervision throughout the day. I maintain a clean, secure space and introduce new environments gradually to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. Whether in your home or mine, my approach is always patient, attentive, and focused on your pet’s wellbeing.
“Cindy was wonderful with my little guy. She sent updates throughout the day which was great. She is incredibly kind and welcoming. I can’t wait for my guy to spend time with her again!!”


“Jessica took fantastic care of my anxious boy. Updates and communication were awesome, and he had a great time with her! If you're looking for doggy care in Columbus I highly recommend her! We're not local, but if we're ever back in town Jessica will be my go-to.”

“Naomi was an amazing dog sitter for our puppy, Alexis. We met her ahead of our initial booking for her to get to know our dog and for our dog to feel comfortable around her place and with her lovely puppies. Everything went well and she took care of Alexis for a day. She kept sending lovely pictures and videos of Alexis playing with her and the dogs. That gave us peace that she was having a good time. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend her.”


“Sox and I LOVE Dawn and Spike. Dawn takes the best care of our boy and we never have to worry, which is such a blessing. Spike is so much fun and Sox always comes home zonked. There really is no one better!”

“Katie was amazing! Auggie had so much fun playing with all the other dogs and we loved the constant updates/pictures she sent us. We highly recommend her :)”
