“We continually use Abby to help with our pup and she always provides great updates! Very dependable and I know she gives our pup good play time :)”


“This was our second time booking with Heather! She is very responsive and sends great pictures with funny commentary :) She always asks if she is unsure about something. We will be booking with her again in the future!”


“Molly is fantastic with our three pups! She is always punctual and makes the absolute most of her time during every visit. We always come home to very tired, content dogs. We will definitely be rebooking with her!”


“Christal was amazing with my hyper and strong pitty! She has some reactivity issues and I always get worried leaving her but Christal eased those anxieties with texts, pictures, and videos of their walks and play time. Highly recommend!”


About: I have been watching pets for years and would love to provide great care to yours as well! I know how important your pet is to you and you can trust that I have years of experience taking care of animals. I have lived with pets my entire life, so I know how to recognize body language and anxiety. That knowledge is supplemented by my experience volunteering at animal shelters for four years. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the Ohio State University. Outside of my classes, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I currently cannot keep pets at my home. However, I am always happy to watch pets in your home! I can overnight petsit or do only day visits or dog walks. Pet parents have trusted me taking care of their pets in their home for years.

“Paige dropped in on our dog twice a day for 4 days while I was away on a trip and I can't recommend her enough! She was very professional, prompt, and had great communication before and during my trip. She went above and beyond taking care of him and made sure to get all of his energy out during her drop ins. Louie made a new friend and will miss seeing Paige :)”


About: I have been house/dog sitting since the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby! I work from 8am to 4pm Monday-Friday beginning Aug 8.. My evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey. My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.

“Sarah hit it off immediately with our furbabies and we so appreciated her visits with them. Would definitely recommend and hope to be able to have her next time we need a sitter or drop in!!!”


“Requested Debra again due to how well she loves our little ones, and how much they love her back. We trust her & so do they. That means everything to us. Will use her again!”


“Madison did exactly what we needed, sent timely pictures, could tell pepper was happy, and she was very reasonably priced. Madison was extremely punctual, communicated effectively, and met all her commitments. Everything you want in someone who you trust with your pet.”


“Merri was so fantastic to coordinate and communicate with, and I'm sure Yuka loved her visits because he got to go outside! Merri is trustworthy and I appreciate the effort into doing a meet and greet to familiarize herself with Yuka.”


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: 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.

“Jessica was so great and amazing. She took wonderful care of our pup Ruby. She was kind and considerate of Ruby’s needs and trauma history. Jessica provided wonderful updates on Ruby and was very communicative. We would definitely use Jessica in the future and recommend her to others!”


“Tori did a great job taking care of my cat. She understood his needs very well (lots of snuggles) and sent funny commentary and nice photos every day. Will definitely have her cat-sit for me again!”


“Sydney took the best care of my cat while I was away! She sent me lots of pictures of my cat and played with him plenty. He can be apprehensive to new people, but he warmed up to her right away because she was so good with him.”


About: I bieleve that I am very skilled at taking care of animals because I have my own pets that I take care of and play with on a daily basis. Animals are very important to me and I treat them with the upmost respect. I think that dog owners will appreciate the care and attention I give towards animals. I often watch my friends pets for them when they go out of town because they know that I will take the best care of there animals and make sure they get walks and that they are having fun! I am very compassionate and understanding to all animals and love to play and have fun with them! I work at an autism school as a teachers aide Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. If you can give me a weeks notice for your service, that will help a lot. You are welcome to ask me last minute, but it may be harder since I am a planner with a full time job, and taking college courses part time. I am willing to walk dogs and do house visits for animals weekdays 4:30 and weekends from 10am to 10pm. I am always excited to meet new animals! I will care for your animals exactly how you would like! I love Animals and always treat them with compassion and care!

About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it! I walked dogs that ranged from 1-16 years of age, and administered oral medication and provided insulin to diabetic dogs. I have also fostered dogs four separate times, ages ranging from 1-6 years. 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. My partner is experienced in animal husbandry and loves pets just as much as me. We are sure to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention! I can take furry friends on extra walks or runs if requested, and I can send you pictures throughout your pets' stay!
