“Samantha was phenomenal! I couldn’t have asked for someone better to help me with my Ozzie boy. She asked permission to bring her kids and they were great with my boy and got all of his puppy energy out. One thing I loved was that she sent me pictures and videos of my boy while she was with him. She also left me with a selection of treats for him, which I thought was super sweet I will definitely be using her in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I recently lost my dog who was almost 16 years old. So I am used to caring for elderly dogs as well and the challenges that come with it like medications, helping them with stairs, etc. I really enjoy spending quality time with the dogs and keeping them company. It’s currently off season for my job so my days are pretty free. I am really flexible from May to Sept. I will do my best to be able to accommodate with your needs. I live in a home with a big fenced in back yard. I do not have any other pets at home so there’s no need to worry your pet does not get along with others.
About: I’ve taken care of almost all breeds of dogs, friends, family and neighbors. I’ve always loved dogs and taking care of them we how our own dog and love to have other dogs over they play all day and have fun and have company. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily life. I work full-time during the day, but I always make time for morning and afternoon walks. My husband is home most of the day, so there’s usually someone around to give love, playtime, and potty breaks even if he steps out for a few hours. We have a sweet 4-year-old pup of our own and a playful 3-year-old child, so our home is full of fun and energy. With a big fenced-in yard, there’s plenty of safe space for running, playing, and exploring. Caring for dogs is just part of our everyday routine, and we love it! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They get plenty of love, playtime, and attention throughout the day, along with safe outdoor time in our large fenced yard. I make sure they stay on their usual feeding and potty schedule, and they’re always included in our daily walks and play.

“Jasper is kind, reliable, and respectful of personal property. I was very nervous leaving our dogs in someone else's care, but Jasper took time for a meet and greet beforehand which really helped alleviate anxiety for myself and my dogs. It was also nice getting lots of picture updates plus potty and feeding updates as well. I would love to work with this sitter again in the future!”

“Claire did a great job taking care of our kitties! She was able to help us out with a last minute booking and was very flexible! Would recommend to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”

“I am grateful that Haley was available and provided such excellent care to my babies. I would definitely recommend and am looking forward to having her watch my babies in the future.”


About: I have a lot of experience with dog watching. I've been watching my friend's two dogs every time she would go on work trips, or just to go home and visit her family. I take them out for a walk 2-3 times a day and feed them twice a day. I would always watch her apartment for her. I know I would be a great sitter because I am an animal lover (vegetarian), and I have a huge amount of patience and love for dogs. They do good a job of helping me relax because all they have is a lot of love to give. They will receive plenty of play time and love. Animals make me happy and that's what makes them amazing to me. I currently work remote in the city of Columbus, therefore I always have time to take care of animals and keep them entertained. Although I do not have any pets of my own, I am a huge animal lover! I make sure the pets are well taken care of while their parents are away. They also get all the play time and belly rubs that they can take lol
About: I have had some experience as pet boarding in my own home. I have my own dogs for the past 9 years. I know how rescues dogs engage when they are in a new environment and their needs. I recognize their body language and signs. They never bother me and I’m always there for them. I have plenty time on weekends since I do my online homework during the week and weekend. I usually take them for walks every day at nights so they have a better sleep afterwards. I have a fenced yard and my two beagles to have your fur baby company. I can create your baby if you feel it’s needed. I have an additional room available to separate if needed so they do not have to be placed in a kennel.
About: I have thirty years of experience caring for many different breeds of dogs from puppies to seniors. I have an Associate's Degree in Social work, substitute teach and am currently at CSU for my Bachelor's Degree. I am a military spouse with three children and I have a Corgi of my own. I have boarded dogs in my own home at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and now I am excited to offer those services here. I love animals, especially dogs and I will love yours just like it's my own. I am very active and will make sure that your pet has adventures and lots of playtime during their stay. I am very detail oriented and will follow directions carefully and will gladly send photo and video updates upon request. Pet care is apart of my every day life as I have an almost two year old Corgi of my own. She loves to play with other dogs and children and would make a great companion for your pet. We have a private driveway and a gated courtyard. I will make sure that your dog is comfortable and safe both inside and outside. We have a spacious yard to explore.
“Kory has house sat for our two dogs eight times in the span of seven chaotic months for our family. He communicates well and is exceptionally talented at handling our high anxiety pup, Hank. Kory made an extra effort to really get to know our boys and their needs including Hank’s anxiety triggers (thunderstorms and fireworks) and administering specific medications when the dogs needed them. On two separate occasions when Kory was not asked to stay the night he made sure to come check on the boys when he heard thunderstorms coming through in the middle of the night. He is also very good about leaving the house neat and vacuuming so that we come home to a neat house after we travel. We cannot recommend Kory enough to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter that will go above and beyond for their pets.”

About: I have grown up taking care of numerous animals, including inside dogs and hunting dogs, bearded dragons, fish, cats, birds, etc. I also frequently pet sit for friends and family when needed, and have been doing so for years! ❤️ I am currently working part time, usually from 4:30-9:30 throughout the week and on Saturdays (besides Mondays). I am also in school at CSU, but classes are over for the Summer 😊 I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run and play as well as a friendly poodle to keep your babies company (they can be easily separated if needed) !! At clients homes, it varies depending on the client’s request. However, I do love going outside with the dogs as well as being cuddled up watching tv with them☺️
“Amanda did a fantastic job watching my three dogs. She was very easy to communicate with, sent photos while she was there, and even washed their dishes which I did not expect her to do. I would highly recommend Amanda to look after your babies and will definitely be working with her in the future.”

Joshua was an AMAZING sitter for my time away! He loved on my babies like they were his own and they definitely miss his presence!
