About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young. I help all of my friends in the military when they go out of town and I know how much of a pain it can be to find someone trustworthy! I love animals and never want them to go without love and care! I am currently working at Lowe’s part time. I work 4-6 hours a day if I even work that day. My husband works in the military and is home at nights and sometimes teleworks. I have a fenced backyard and a live in a nice area where I can walk the dogs to a nice park in the middle of my neighborhood. I have a 3 year old golden retriever who loves the company just as much as I do.

I gave the wrong address by mistake, and Rachel still took the time to go to the correct one to let my dog out. She truly went above and beyond, and I’m incredibly grateful.

About: Dog walking and pet sitting was my first job growing up, helping neighbors and friends with their pets. I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up around dogs, so spending time with them comes naturally to me. I believe pets are family, and I take extra care to treat each one like my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I currently have multiple days off mid-week which allows me the flexibility to help out while you are at work on out of town. Currently I’m not available to host at my home, although I do have two cats, and had one dog until she passed away last year; they all run a tight ship.

Marlyn was great, per usual! Had gotten some surprise buckeye football tickets and needed a spur of the moment dog sitter for the day. Only one person came to mind in this panic and that was Marlyn. She has watched our sweet Stella before and did such a great job. So much so she didn’t want to come home haha. Marlyn sent pictures and kept us posted the entirety of the day which always puts us at ease. 11/10 ✊🏽

About: Dogs make EVERY day better! Recently I was running a boutique dog daycare, boarding, and training facility in California before moving home to Ohio. Because of my 5 years there, I have immense knowledge and experience surrounding dog behavior, training, and caring for pups of all ages, breeds, sizes, and needs. I am also CPDT certified as a Positive Reinforcement trainer. I truly understand the importance of getting to know each pup individually and how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your dogs in and out of your home. I am working remote part time so I have tons of flexibility! I love being around dogs and am excited to be hands on with pups in my own town! I have a very large yard and patio for pups that visit my home! I also understand that many pups prefer the comfort of their own home and am comfortable and happy to pop in as needed when the pups need care or walks! I am extremely respectful of someone else's space and requirements when it comes to in home care.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and both small and large farm animals my entire life, and I’ve been fortunate to work in the veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I’ve gained extensive experience, including skills like inserting IVs, setting up fluid pumps, and administering subcutaneous, oral, and intramuscular medications in both hospital and home settings.

Some of the conditions include caring for diabetics, seizures, kidney disease, liver disease, URis, UTis, hyperthyroidism, ocular issues, skin issues/allergies, foreign body surgeries, fractures, ACL surgeries, obstructions, and poisonings. I love walking and caring for animals weather that mean playing with them or spoon feeding them back to health. Additionally I have also had the privilege of caring for a wide range of animals, from large and small farm animals to dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes—from energetic puppies to loving senior dogs. I've also cared for both senior cats and playful kittens, gaining valuable experience with each stage of life Please let me know what you need, and I will do everything I can to ensure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.

About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 4 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and give their pets lots of attention and love while they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler approach. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they would with you. I currently work part‑time, so I’m available between 9:30am and 2:30pm on weekdays. During that time, I can give your pup plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care. I’m also available for weekend boarding or drop‑ins depending on your needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for every dog in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with crates if your dog uses one, and I always prioritize supervision, communication, and making sure your pup feels secure and cared for.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover for many years…and I’ve been a cat’s human for many years as well. I’ve got a 9 month Bully/Boxer puppy that loves naps, long walks and my homemade dog ice cream. I’ve also got a Russian Blue that also loves naps, long walks in his backpack and stealing toys from the puppy 😄 I currently have a lot of flexibility to work around you and your fur family’s schedule. I can also do multiple daily visits if you are going out of town and want to avoid kenneling. I am not open to having other animals in my home…it’s already a zoo in here! I can walk in your neighborhood, or take to your preferred dog park.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, until the recent passing of my family dog. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Animal Sciences. I have worked at the Columbus Zoo, dog boarding facilities, and vet hospitals so I have a pretty good understanding of dog health and behavior. I am pretty low-key, so I try to be as calm and accommodating to all dog personality types. Whether you have a quiet senior or an excitable puppy, I can bend and mold to your doggo's needs! My services does not stop with just dogs, please ask me about your other lovable critters! I do work full time, so my services will primarily be available after 3:30 and on weekends. If my services are needed before 3:30pm, Please arrange them with me well ahead of time so that I can make the necessary changes in my FT work schedule to fulfill your needs! I am currently working full time Monday-Thursday, so I am available Fridays-Sundays. Depending on your location, I may be available for evening drop ins during the week after 530pm. If you are looking for Housesitting during the weekdays, I am able to take requests on a case-by-case basis. I have a cat of my own at home. Out of respect for both your pet and my own, I typically prefer coming to you and providing care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Pets stress less when they are able to remain at home in a familiar space. I will treat your home respectfully and

About: Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience with pet care, and I’ve been around dogs since I was young. From drop in visits to dog walks, I enjoy working with dogs. Young or old, playful or calm, I will enjoy spending time with them. If there is anything that I excel at, it's keeping your dog from getting bored and staying active. We can play rough, go for long walks, tug on a rope, you name it. I have plenty of time available across my week, especially in the mornings, evenings and open availability on the weekend. Please contact me for the specifics and I'm sure that I will be able to flex my schedule. For drop in visits, I will follow the necessary care you believe I should provide for your pet's individual and specific needs. I believe that every dog is different, so please tell me everything I need to know about them. Things like health, behavioral tendencies, and history are essential to provide the best care. I will always be mindful of house rules during your pet's visit as well.

My rescue dog is often scared with new people and while just stay put behind the couch. Libby tried her best and was very patient trying to get her out to go potty. Even though things didn’t go the way we wanted, I appreciate the extra time she took to try.

Savannah went above and beyond with my dog making sure she is happy and comfortable. My dog is high anxiety and Savannah took care of her needs while communicating consistently. I received updates as well as pictures, and returned home to a happy dog. I had to reschedule the walk and she was very understanding. Completely satisfied and am recommending her to my pet owner friends.
