About: Hi there! I’m a proud dog mom myself! I’ve raised my little pup since he was just 6 weeks old, and now he’s 5 ½. Going through the puppy stage, teenage years, and now adult years has given me first-hand experience with all the ups, downs, and tail wags that come with caring for dogs. From potty training and long walks to endless playtime and snuggles, I truly enjoy being there for every stage of a pup’s life. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own. I know the peace of mind it brings to have someone you can trust with your fur baby. Along with raising my own, I’ve also provided long-term sitting for a senior dog who needed specialized care, including medication, prepared meals, and lots of extra attention. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and love when caring for pets with unique needs. I’m currently a grad student with clinical rotations, which means I’m usually away from home about 5–7 hours at a time during the week. Once I’m back, I typically stay home the rest of the day, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles. Saturdays/Sundays can sometimes be a bit longer for me (8–10 hours), but I always make sure to get in a nice walk and plenty of playtime before leaving so your pup will be ready for a good long nap. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my own super chill dog. Right outside the complex are plenty of walking paths and two large designated potty areas, so your dog will have safe and fun spaces to stretch their legs. To ensure your pup’s safety while I’m away for class, I kindly ask that you bring their crate; it helps keep them comfortable and secure when I can’t be right by their side. Between playtime, walks, and lots of love, I’ll make sure your bestie feels right at home. I can’t wait to meet all my new furry friends!

“Nibbler had the best time at Lindsey’s today! She was so patient and understanding with him since this was his first real day away from his home spending time with other dogs and people for an extended period of time. Nibbler can’t wait to go back!”

About: I’m a caring pet sitter with 5+ years’ experience and ASPCA training. I love all animals and specialize in puppy training, senior care, multi-pet homes, and pets with special needs, providing safe, loving care and regular updates. I provide structured and attentive care for every pet, ensuring their health, safety, and happiness. Daily, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, enrichment, grooming touch-ups, and a calm bonding session to make pets feel loved and secure.

Weekly, I focus on deeper tasks like grooming, cleaning habitats or litter boxes, socialization or training sessions, and tracking any medications or special care needs. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and thriving while maintaining a consistent, reliable routine. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In your home, I follow your routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, while keeping the space tidy and providing updates with photos. In my home, I create a calm, comfortable environment with separate areas for pets as needed, enrichment activities, supervised play, and gentle attention. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, small animals, multi-pet households, puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, ensuring every animal feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

“Dexter had a good time as usual with Sydney and of course she provided plenty of pics and videos during the day. So glad we found a place where Dexter is so comfortable. Definitely will be having her watch him again.”

“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”

“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of Nikko!”

About: From my experience growing up on a farm to caring for two dogs and a cat as a young professional, I've developed quite a bit of pet care knowledge and skills. I've cared for puppies and kittens and adult dogs and cat through good times and hard times. Over the years, I've learned a lot and I'm happy to use that experience to care for your's as well. My wife and I both work from home during the week so we have plenty of time for pet care. When our dog Frank was around, we would often go on walks with him and my daughter and visit local parks. Unfortunately, we don't have time to care for puppies or kittens at this stage in life but adult dogs and cats are welcome. We live in downtown Columbus in a single family home with a large fenced yard. We're surrounded by lots of sidewalks and live within walking distance to several parks. In our home, we have a large soft crate for dogs and small crates for cats, if needed. We expect all pets to be potty/house trained and dogs to sleep in a crate overnight. We don't allow dogs on furniture or in beds, but they're welcome throughout the home. Our cat, Cleo, roams the house but will often stay on the 2nd floor when new pet friends stay over. She has been great with new cats and dogs, often warming up to them after a day or two. We also have a 2.5 year old daughter who is home most of the week. She's great with cats and dogs and we expect any pets that stay with us to be comfortable with children.

“Breslin had a great time and was very tired afterwards. She also updated me throughout the day and made time to fit him into her schedule somewhat last minute. Will leave Breslin with her again if needed ?”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was boy at only 10 years old. I grew up with dogs and cats since I can remember. I currently have one dog and one cat I take care of on the daily. With walks, medicine, food, and all the love I can give. At the beginning of 2018 I was in school to become a veterinarian technician. Unfortunately, the school I was at, Vatterott College, shut down at the end of the year. I was close to graduating, but after the shutdown I had another opportunity come my way so I parted ways with it. In my personal experience I have taken care of; new born puppies, sick dogs, old dogs, hyper dogs, calm dogs. Most things you can think of my dogs have been I have a little bit of personal training experience. I taught myself how to train dogs to walk on a leash. It's an ongoing process, but the dogs I have trained have never been better! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I work a full-time remote job, so my house is always a safe place for your pup! I start slow with pets. Never rush into anything. Earn the pets trust over time with training, treats, and love! I take any advice from the parent to heart, because no one knows someone's pets like their parents!

“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.”

“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Columbus who recently stepped away from my corporate career and is preparing for an exciting move to Australia in a couple of months. In the meantime, I’m looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy, caring for and walking dogs. This transition has given me the flexibility to dedicate my full attention to pet care, and I’m committed to making each walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves long, energetic walks or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their routine. Since I recently stepped away from my full-time corporate role, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pet. I structure my days around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get timely walks and any specific care they need. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening visits, I’m able to adapt to your dog’s routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! Whether we’re at your home or out on a walk, I follow your routines and make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I pay close attention to their personality and energy, keep them safe, and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how much fun we’re having together!

“Sophie was amazing. She accepted a last-minute booking, took excellent care of my shy little pup, and gave me updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
