About: I’m currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, and alongside my academic work, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. As both a responsible graduate student and a lifelong dog owner, I bring reliability, organization, and genuine care to every visit. My goal is too make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a graduate student at The Ohio State University, I’m only in class for a portion of the day Monday through Thursday, which gives me consistent flexibility throughout the week. Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. Because my academic commitments are predictable, I’m able to maintain a steady routine and dedicate focused time to each dog I care for. Whether it’s midday walks, morning or evening visits, I have availability throughout the week and can provide dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in other homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.

Fantastic! I shared with Tracy that my dog gets very anxious when new people come to the house. She was very understanding and agreed to meet outside the house and go on a walk for our Meet and Greet. My dog felt very comfortable with Tracy and had no problems when Tracy walked her by herself the next time. I am extremely happy.

About: Hi there! I’m currently a design grad student finishing up my thesis this summer, and I’m looking to do some flexible work on the side while I write. Since I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, dog walking and sitting has become the perfect fit. It helps me get outside, take a much-needed thesis break, and get a little boost of serotonin from spending time with dogs. I grew up helping care for my family’s very high-maintenance dogs, which helped me become confident with pets. First, we had Moxie, a very sassy 6 lb. toy poodle who was a picky eater and had to be given seizure medication daily for 16 years. Then we had Suede, a lovable goofball of a miniature poodle who was the very definition of a Velcro dog. Between the two of them, I have a lot of experience in adhering to strict feeding and medication routines, working with quirks, practicing patience, and simply loving dogs😊 To give you an idea of why you should trust me with your dog: I am absolutely the person who beelines for the dog at any social gathering and points out every dog I see to whoever I’m with - usually saying “look at that little guy,” even when the dog is not, in fact, little or a “guy”. In short, I’m a responsible, attentive dog-lover who would genuinely love the chance to care for your pet! I’m currently working remotely from home while finishing writing my thesis for grad school, and am very flexible in both the times and places that I work because of this! I’m able to give pups lots of care and attention during the day, taking them out for walks and to go potty regularly. Oftentimes I spend evenings at home, or at my boyfriend’s place just a short walk away, so I am never away from any dogs I’m boarding for too long. After all, part of the fun of dog sitting is getting to spend time with them! I do not have children or other pets in my home, so I am easily able to board dogs without concern of how they get along with kids or other animals. While I do not have a big yard, I do live in a townhouse that has a bit of front and backyard lawn that work for taking dogs out to go potty. This said, my lack of lawn is made up for because I live right near a large park that’s perfect for walks! Lastly, I allow pets on my furniture, including in bed, but I am happy to adhere to whatever rules you have for your dog. As for dog sitting in a client’s home, I am here to maintain whatever routine your pup is used to at home!

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in 15 years, I love animals and dogs especially! I enjoy walking and taking care of their needs. Please reach out! I’m currently on summer break from college! Most of my days are free, although I do travel back home from time to time, usually on a weekend. I will work around the dogs needs depending on their size and the surrounding environment. I can communicate with the owner so that I can effectively care for their dog.

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life anywhere from a German Shepard to a Dachshund. I understand the importance of trusting and depending on those who care for your loved ones (because dogs are a part of the family too). I love long walks around the neighborhood and ensuring each dog is cared for specifically tailored to their needs and owners preference. Would love a dog of my own however living vicariously through my clients and supporting them in their care of their animals is the next best thing! Flexible on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the week. Caring for animals is just as much a stress reliever for me as it is for them and their owners. Can’t wait to help! I am flexible in availability and capacity for the client needs. I can be adaptive contingent on environment, medical and ability considerations of the animal(s).

About: I grew up here as an only child, my dogs were my siblings! As a teen we had 4 dogs at home, of all sizes! At one time I was a professional dog walker in NYC in my early 20's plus growing up with my dogs makes me a great sitter & dog friend. We love to watch TV on the couch nightly & are very loving to other doggies :) I have an 8 year old beagle named Wilbur. He is the love of my life, but pretty much a big couch potato! He loves all other dogs, his brother passed away a few years ago so he loves having doggy company to play with. I work for myself and am home 80% of my days.
