About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and spent nearly 25 years living with and caring for them. I’m the go-to sitter for my friends, regularly watching their dogs for days or even weeks at a time. From tiny Yorkie and Basenji puppies to medium Cockapoos and extra-large rescues, I’ve walked, trained, and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I tailor every walk to your pup, whether they prefer a slow stroll with plenty of breaks or a steady jog (I recently ran the Big Ten 10K representing my alma mater, Ohio State). Outside of dog walking, I’ve spent over a decade working in the energy field and recently took an intentional career break after a meaningful year helping rebuild Puerto Rico’s electric grid. You can count on me for reliable, loving care every time. I’m currently taking an intentional career break, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m happy to support one-time walks, last-minute requests, or ongoing, routine care - whatever works best for you and your pup. I care for pets as if they were my own, with attention to their unique routines, personalities, and needs. Before any booking, I like to do a quick check-in to align on expectations, learn about your pet’s habits, preferences, and any special care instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their established schedule, maintaining their space, and keeping things clean and consistent. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or medications, I provide calm, attentive care and clear communication every step of the way.
“Molly was AMAZING! She stepped right in when I contacted her last minute with short notice for help to have someone walk my pup. Biscuit immediately connected with her because of her gentle and kind spirit. I definitely recommend booking Molly!!”
“Donald was incredible!! I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone! He was helpful and accommodating. I appreciated the photos he posted after each walk which helped ease my anxiety of keeping my new dog at home alone while at work.”
About: I grew up with English mastiffs as a child. In college I helped raise two crazy husky puppies and watched them grow up! After college I rescued a pitty mix as a puppy who had some issues. I have gone through training courses with her and she has grown up into a sweetheart. I am currently unemployed so very flexible to walk and take care of pets! I am out of town some weekends but that is not on consistent schedule currently. I will treat your home as it is my own, and leave it how I found it. I am a massive animal lover that can barely kill a fly! Your pets will be pet and loved while you are away.
About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones have all sought my care for many years for both their dogs and cats. Being a teacher, I love to help care for your pets when I can! I have very open availability for walks, daily care, and overnight care. I work as an elementary school teacher during the majority of the year, but I love to help care for your pets when I can! Each pet and each household is different, so catering to the needs of each pet is a priority. Following diet instructions, making sure pets get proper play and exercise time, and lots and lots of love are all priorities of mine.
“Michelle was excellent! She walked my two dogs twice in one day and even helped me deal with an unexpected visit from a service technician while she was at my home. She was very responsive and kept me updated on the pups. I highly recommend Michelle and will be booking again!”
“Absolutely a pleasure to work with, Nicole took extra special care of our Fur Babies. Nicole is a true earth Angel! I will always cal on Nicole to take care of my pets! Thank you Nicole!”
About: Hi I'm Hannah! I grew up on a farm surrounded by 30+ dogs, so caring for pups has always been part of my life. From bottle-feeding newborn puppies to helping shy or energetic dogs thrive, I know how to bring out the best in every pup’s personality. Whether your dog wants to run, play, or just relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—tiny lap pups, playful mediums, and even giant breeds. Along with raising my own two dogs, Jasmine and Freya, I regularly care for my sister’s two chihuahuas and a friend’s pit bull mix, so I’m used to switching gears between different personalities and energy levels. With years of hands-on experience, I can adapt to your dog’s unique needs and routine, giving them both structure and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family, and I promise consistent, reliable, and loving care—treating your pup like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them the care (and belly rubs!) they deserve. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of applying to MBA programs and doing some part-time and gig work, which allows me to shift my time around as needed. That flexibility means I can prioritize pet care. Whether that’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Since my dog Freya doesn’t get along with most other dogs, I’m not able to host pets in my own home. However, my husband works remotely, which gives me the flexibility to stay in your home and care for your pets with ease. When caring for pets, I like to start with a meet-and-greet (and even a walk-through of your pet’s routine if helpful) so I can learn exactly what makes them comfortable. I’ll stick to their schedule as closely as possible, provide regular updates, and always ask questions if something comes up. My goal is to give your pet the best care possible while giving you peace of mind.
“Allie was amazing, I told her my needs and she absolutely a treat for my dog Gogo on her walks. Very much sold me in becoming a regular client of hers now! Thank you Allie!”
About: Hey there! I’m Angie and I just moved to the Columbus area and started my pet sitting services. I had a farm in South Carolina consisting of goats, pigs, all types of birds, rabbits, you name it for over 5 years- I also worked at a dog rescue synonymously for two years. I then moved to Florida where I became a manager for the infamous Doghouse, LLC in St. Pete- a professional dog boarding and training facility (shameless promo). Please note that I am not a trainer! I only handled the boarding business. Needless to say, my experience is extensive. I am comfortable with all varieties of animals to all sizes, however, I am not too familiar with reptiles. I am also comfortable and familiar with medication administration and strict diets. I know how emotionally taxing it is to leave your pet at home for trips or even for the day. It is my mission to ensure your fur baby feels loved, is safe, played with, and the care plan is strictly followed so that you are confident and can move forward in your day with ease. I currently have open availability. I will also be available for all holidays except Christmas and Thanksgiving. I keep my calendar updated on a regular basis to refrain from over booking. I follow the pet’s regular routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, and any medications as directed. I also handle waste cleanup, keep the living space tidy, and give plenty of affection and attention. I make sure to monitor their health and behavior, send updates to the owner, and ensure the home is secure before leaving.

About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it!

I have 4 years of exotic animal care experience as well! I work from home full time on a very flexible schedule. I can move my daily plans around to fit your needs, and will update my availability to include changes ASAP. There is one other dog and one cat in the home.
