“Booked Taylor for about a week and everything was just as I left it. The cats were healthy and happy when I got back. Taylor was very communicative and I would book her again”

“Emma was incredible!! Very responsive and took great care of my dog! She was easy to work with and even was okay with meeting us first before booking! Would 100% book with her again!”

“Kelly is amazing!! We had to extend our trip due to flight cancellations and she was willing to add additional days so our cat was taken care of which was a huge relief!!”

“Butterscotch was in great hands this weekend! She was shy at first, but by the end was coming out right away to greet Siobhan — that says everything about how comfortable and cared for she felt. Siobhan also sent tons of photo updates throughout the stay, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy the trip. Highly recommend!”

“Ioana is THE BEST!!! I just moved here from far away and was so nervous about leaving my babies with a stranger but Ioana eased my anxiety tremendously. She checked on them three times a day, gave them lots of love, and sent me many pictures. I seriously could not have asked for a better sitter! Will be booking her again!”

About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!
About: Professional Pet Industry Veteran & Science PhD for Downtown Care! If you are looking for more than just a standard dog walker, I bring years of professional pet industry experience and a scientific background to every visit. As a former owner of two beautifully trained Australian Shepherds (including one I trained specifically as an Emotional Support Animal), I specialize in high-quality, behavior-focused pet care. While my own pups have passed, I am passionate about keeping local downtown pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated. Why choose my care: * **Professional Credentials:** Years of industry experience combined with a PhD in the sciences means your pet is in highly capable, analytical, and safe hands. * **Specialized Training Background:** Experienced in basic obedience and ESA training structures using positive reinforcement. I love teaching commands like "sit" or fun tricks like "hit the rock" (fist bumps!). * **Behavior & Routine-Based Walks:** I take dogs down to the Scioto Trail and focus on practicing structured walk routines, which heavily reinforces good public behavior. * **Off-Leash Training:** If permitted by the owner, I can safely practice off-leash handling or help train your dog on off-leash reliability. * **Convenient Downtown Route:** I commute via bicycle, making me perfectly suited for reliable early morning or evening drop-in visits right here in the city center. Let me know your pet's breed and unique personality so we can tailor the perfect morning or evening routine for them! I am currently starting my own business and need seed money to keep going. I am a scientist and keep my own schedule and am available regularly for walks as I do a lot of walking. In your home I respect your rules and ask for emergency contacts be left in print to ensure I have the most up to date details. While outside the home, I am extremely aware of my surroundings and do not put myself nor animals in my care in harms way. I am acutely tuned to animals behavior and understand and can predict issues. So I can thus circumvent issues to begin with.

“Adrian is doing great with the dogs and i trust him to take good care of them. He has been timely Ruth his visits and spends plenty of time with them. I will happily continue to use his services as long as I can.”

“Jessica does an awesome job with both of our old dogs. They need medication and extra attention and she’s amazing. Always sends pictures and updates and we truly appreciate her help!”

“Tracy has been so chill with my reactive dog Rwby. She understands that although she is not checking on them, the cats may say hi, and she’s been perfectly fine with that. She is timely, kind, and quick to respond to a booking request!”


About: Hi! I’m Tiffany. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like my own. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m not working a traditional 9–5 at the moment, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, visits, and quality time based on each pet’s needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day and making sure every dog gets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. I prioritize safety, supervision, and routines, provide calm secure environments, respect clients’ homes, and communicate regularly so pets feel comfortable, cared for, and owners feel confident.
“Josh has went above and beyond to accommodate my very shy dog. He has went out of his way during his own lunches to make extra drop-in visits to continue to build a relationship with my boy. He has great communication skills and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for a house visit or stay. Thank you!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 10. It started with just neighbors, family, friends, and has expanded to friends of friends. I have a dog of my own, a pitbull boxer mix, and have fallen in love with every dog I have ever meet. I have worked with all kinds of animals fish, snake, chinchillas, goats, cats, and dogs. I provided them with walks, food, bathes, and cleaning their habitat. I work part time serving at nights usually. I always have two days off but with having a pretty open schedule this gives me lots of time to care for your pet(s). I have lots of experience with large dogs (Cane Corsos over 100lbs) and was able to handle them with ease. I have a very high energy dog myself so I don't mind the excitement!

“Jessica was a wonderful, reliable dog sitter! Kirby has some special needs as he recovers from two broken legs, and it was a relief having such a kind and caring person to come and check on him mid day this week while I was working. Thank you Jessica!”
About: I have had a dog as long as I can remember. Love going on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. Will give the same love I give my dogs. I am open to giving a bath if needed, giving extra exercise depending on energy level. I am home 4 days out of the week. I go on walks regularly with my dog and also have a back yard to hangout in. Morning feeding time, with treats throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard with my own fur baby who loves to play. I love the company of another dog in my house. I would treat your baby with the same love I give mine!
About: I have daily experience taking care of animals as I have a dog and two cats of my own. I also have repeat clients that I have gained the trust of and have been working with for several years. In addition to experience in pet sitting, walking, and general husbandry, I worked in an animal shelter and have extensive experience working with animals that have trauma and experience with past homelessness. I recently moved to Columbus for my education. My school year starts in the fall and I am currently not working full time. This allows me a lot of freedom to take care of pets every single day of the week, with my full attention. I believe that a pet's routine and comfort is of the upmost importance when mom/dad is away. It is my goal to make sure your pet is treated like my own and I am completely comfortable with following any quirks or schedules that your pet is used to.
“Tyler was communicative and reliable when it came to giving our kitties some play time and attention. He followed directions and was friendly throughout the whole process. He did a great job and we had good peace of mind while away knowing our babies were in good hands!”

“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”

This was our third time booking with Taylor - you know you’ve found the best when you come home from vacation and your cats keep looking around, wondering where their third human is! If you book with Taylor, just know you’re guaranteeing true peace of mind and leaving your pets in the care of a wonderful human who will love and care for them like their own. Thank you, Taylor!

Jessica was able to help on short notice when I unexpectedly had to leave town, and I’m so grateful. She was reliable and came every day, communicated kindly, and followed my instructions carefully. I appreciated receiving updates when she arrived and finished, along with photos of my cats eating. Her attention to detail gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, attentive care for their pets.

HB was very kind. She was prompt in her visits for my cat and got some cute pictures for me. HB took the extra time to sit with my cat and letting her get to know her, so at the next visits they would be friends. ☺️ I would recommend HB for a cat sitter to anyone!

Sooo thankful for Rachel. She took great care of PK and provided thorough updates. I came home from my trip to the best greeting from him. I know he can be a little sassy so I appreciate her patience and understanding of his playful side and separation anxiety. Would definitely recommend and book her again in the future

Tori was absolutely amazing with our fur babies. We have a mischievous cat who likes to escape outside and she handled it wonderfully. We also have a diabetic cat who likes to hide and Tori was amazing at coaxing him out to give him his medication and insulin.
