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.
“Erin was incredible! She helped my sister and I out during a family emergency and showed up for us last minute to save the day! Incredible communication very compassionate unable to work with our quirky puppy! I highly recommend her!!!”

“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.”

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

“Vanessa is such an incredible support. She thinks quick and stays in control. We have a reactive dog and she always provides a safe and supportive environment.”

“This is our second time booking with Emma, and we'll happily book with her again in the future. We had good communication, the walks were for the agreed upon amount of time, and we always came home to a happy dog!”


“Andrea is truly incredible! The best dog walker, send pictures, and is very timely with her responses! I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting someone to take your energetic puppy out for a walk :)”


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.
“Camryn has been amazing for this first 3 weeks. She scheduled a consultation on short notice, and has been great with timing, communication, and most importantly, care of our dog. We’ll be hiring her for a long time!”

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: With over 6 years of animal care experience, I have worked with a large variety of species and medical conditions. I have worked at dog and cat boarding and daycare facilities, and at veterinary clinics for over two years, along with pet-sitting. I also am a 1st year Student at Ohio State Veterinary School . From puppies to seniors large and small, I've seen it al! I know I worry about my cat when I leave town, and I want to ensure your pet is in good hands! I'm currently working part time, so I am very flexible for your walking or pet-sitting needs! I will have weekend and weekday availability and can work around different schedules. I can work around any needs that you have for your pet including crate training, feeding, medications, and walks! I can also spend the night at your home depending on you and your pet's needs!
About: I’m a stay at home dog mom myself looking to make some extra money doing something I love! I grew up with golden retrievers and when I moved out at 18, got my first dog Cozy. He is a husky German Shepherd. I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends and know how to properly care for dogs like their family. I am a part time student at Ohio state. My only other obligations are being a wife and taking care of my 16 year step daughter which is flexible! I would care for your pet like their my own, i’m very attentive and I’m open to lots of detailed instruction I would take lots of pictures and just making sure that your best friend is as comfortable as possible.
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.

Brittney did an excellent job walking the dogs while i was traveling. She was communicative and consistent and my dogs loved her and the chance to get some activity in- and I loved the peace of mind knowing my dogs were getting the exercise they needed while I was away! Highly recommend.

Thea was lovely to meet and did a great job with my goldendoodle Bella. She came highly recommended and for good reasons — she was prompt and very responsive when I had to switch an aspect of my dogs care last minute. Would happily have her visit my home to walk Bella again :)
