“Sherry goes above and beyond to take care of our dogs. I’m so thankful we found her to help our family and fur babies. She makes days away from them so much easier.”

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.

About: Hi there, I’m Kaisee and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I’ve been working closely with dogs (and cats) for many years now. From dog sitting and grooming to working at an emergency vet clinic now, dogs have always had a special place with me. I understand that personal lives outside of the house can be hectic and that unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed everywhere we can go, I’m here to make sure your best friend/fur child will get the attention they need when you aren’t around and I promise not to spoil them too much. I can give grooming tips if needed and know how to train for basic commands, if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged best friend. :) I work early hours M,T,Th,F so I am off work every Wednesday and home by 4pm other days. I also know that work isn’t the only thing that keeps us out of the house. Can always check in before bed time so clients can enjoy a late night out. When entering a new clients residence I am sure to keep everything neat and tidy and make sure your pet is safe and healthy. Talking in a soft voice as to not scare any pets and make sure all things are secure before leaving.

“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

About: I’m a massage therapist with too much time on my hands, I have three crazy cats and a 2 year old boxer. I grew up with both cats and dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I work Monday 11:30-5 , Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-2 and Wednesday 3:30-9 other than that I am free! Weekends I’m free to pet sit, and even sometimes during the week I wouldn’t have to leave for more than 6 hours a day. My pets are more than spoiled and I would I’ve to do the same with your pet. From playing with or taking them for walks, whatever they need!

About: I’ve been pet sitting since high school. I hesitantly used this app when I moved to Columbus, and have become a huge fan. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet. I’d love to be your trusted partner for when you’re away! I own my own business, which I work remotely, so I am extremely flexible on timing and am available most days to care for your pets! I am adaptable to your pets care needs. I prefer to step into whatever routine you currently have, as to not disrupt your pets normal!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: Hello, I grew up with a houseful of pets and now I am an owner to 3 small dogs and 3 kitties. As a mom to four daughters and six pets, I understand the stress of trying to plan a vacation away from home. I have dealt with my share of good and bad Pet Sitters over the last few years. I am 41 years old and have strong moral values and am very compassionate/ empathetic to all people and I feel that it is important to say about my character in these wild, uncertain modern times. I do have a full-time job that is 100% remote and very flexible in my daily schedule. I would like to meet new local families and help provide reliable, trustworthy care for your beloved pets! I have a fully remote, flexible schedule. My kids do not play any sports so I don’t have extra curricular activities to attend regularly. I’m hoping to find people in my area or surrounding neighborhoods. I am not ready to board in my home since it is a full house here with four kids, three dogs and 3 cats but I have the freedom and ability to come to your home, let your pets outside, feed them, give medicine, take a walk and give lots of pets and belly rubs.

“Kara did an incredible job handling my anxious big boy. Talking through some things she was seeing and keeping me incredibly well informed. Her care and attention is clear to see from the moment she starts interacting to the conclusion of the visit. Many thanks Kara!”

“Rachel was so wonderful and made our kitty feel safe and loved while we were away. She went out of her way to make sure she was taken care of!”

Rachel B.

“She was very flexible and accommodating with my last-minute requests and changes to the schedule, and kept me well informed on feeding and care updates. She was thorough, attentive, and greatly put my mind at ease that my cats were okay while I was gone for almost three days. Thank you so much Brook!”

About: I have been working with dog’s professionally for over 7 years. I treat every dog in my care like they are my own ❤️ In my free time I compete with my personal dogs in AKC Obedience, Trick Dog, DockDogs, Quadruped, and K9 Toss and Fetch I am home M-F by 3pm and on weekends home all day with the exception of running errands. During the holidays and summer months I am off work and like to spend all day with mine and your pup! When dogs are in my care, I like to allow the dogs to be as active as possible. I have a big yard to allow dogs to play in. I also have a gravel yard in case it’s too muddy, there is still space available to be active and we can go for walks in the neighborhood!

About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.

“Hailey did a great job taking care of our cats and loving on them while we were out of town! She also did a good job giving my elderly cat her insulin injections. Would recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
