Located in central Columbus too! Clients directions are followed very carefully. I value the safety of the animals I look after. I carry extra bags, leashes and wipes just in case.

“Bailey did an amazing job taking care of Ziti and our home. I could tell from the meet and greet she was great with animals and asked great questions about both our dog and home to ensure she took great care of both. During her stay she checked in a few times a day and provided me with pictures which made me feel so much better!! I would definitely recommend her and plan to use again!”
“Hanna was very good with Marley!! She played with her and took pictures of her and sent them to us.”
“Patricia did an amazing job watching my doggies and house sitting while I was away for the weekend! They were very well taken care of! Will definitely be using Patricia again in the future!”
“Lisa is a fabulous dog mum, she was great with sending pictures of the boys, updates and catering to their needs. My house was spotless. I would thoroughly recommend Lisa to care for your home and pets.”
“Anna was wonderful. I needed a house/pet sitter to stay at my house. She was very communicative and sent pictures. She also went above and beyond. She took the trash out and ran the dishwasher. I recommend her and thank her for my peace of mind while i was away. Thank you!!”
“Donald was absolutely amazing. He took such good care of my dogs and my home. He is a very friendly and trustworthy man. I give him more than five stars if I could.”
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs from puppy to senior, as my parents both had dogs of their own and raised puppies. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds from my time volunteering at the Fairfield Humane Society and have spent time pet sitting for many of my neighbors. I work remotely part time, so I set my own hours. This gives me ample time to spend with your best friend while you work or have other commitments to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have a fenced in backyard and am willing to cater my care to your dogs preferences from walk time to crate time and everything in between.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born. I've cared for many dogs through all stages of their lives—whether through friends, family, or random adventures. I've encountered dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, understanding that each one has its own unique needs. I currently have a 90lb gentle giant named Wilbert, who’s almost 3 years old. He’s great with everyone, trained very well, and capable of being off-leash. I’m incredibly proud of the training I’ve done with him. I want you to feel completely comfortable entrusting me with your dog, and I will treat them with love and provide whatever special care plan you desire! My schedule is pretty flexible; I work online on my own time, so I can quickly create a convenient personalized schedule for your pet's care. I prioritize safety and trust by ensuring pets are always supervised and comfortable in a secure environment. I create a calm, clean space, tailored to each pet's needs.
“If I could, I would give more stars. Madison is fantastic. We had a very serious issue come up with our dogs while she was sitting them. We were out of state and could not be there. Madison handled everything with love and compassion for our dogs. I can’t say enough positive about her.”
“Elyza was fantastic with my dog Cholula while I was out of town! She was communicative, friendly and left my apartment in great condition while watching Cholula. She was transparent during our scheduling and took note of all of Cholula’s quirks to ensure I felt as comfortable as possible while I was out of town. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you’re looking to have someone watch your pet while away!”
“Austin was great with the dogs. He looked after the place well, it was tidy and the dogs were happy. I'd request his services again. He is very friendly, flexible, accomodating and understanding.”
About: Hi, I’m Nate, a dedicated pet caretaker with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and more. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat enjoys quiet company, or your rabbit needs extra TLC, I provide reliable and attentive service tailored to their needs. I treat every pet like family and understand that each one has their own personality and routine. Whether your furry friend needs daily walks, lots of play time, or drop-in visits, you can count on me to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. Communication is key, and I’ll always keep you informed. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Book with me for dependable care and a stress-free experience for both you and your pet! 🐾 I work full-time Monday - Friday, 9:30AM-6PM. I'm primarily available for early morning walks before work or evening visits after 6 PM. Since my job allows me to work from home when needed, I have some flexibility to accommodate pets that require more attention during the day. Weekends offer even more availability for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in, regular exercise for your pup, or extra companionship for your cat or rabbit, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and sticking to their usual routine. This includes feeding them on schedule, refreshing water, providing walks or playtime, and ensuring they feel safe and happy in their familiar environment. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates so owners can check in while they’re away. I am very detail-oriented and follow any special instructions, whether it’s a specific feeding routine, medication, or extra playtime. My goal is always to make pets feel at ease and well cared for.
“We contacted Marisa last minute and she took great care of our pup and house. She’s very personable and stayed in communication with us. We would ask her to dogsit again.”
“Molly did an excellent job caring for our poodle mix senior dog while we celebrated at our wedding reception for 7 hours. Rudy gets anxious without us but he did great with Molly - she was able to feed him and give his medication which sometimes he won’t do that for others. I highly recommend Molly and will use her again!”

4. Rachel H.
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough as a pet sitter! We live together, so I see firsthand how naturally caring and responsible she is with animals. I have two large breed dogs, and she has been an incredible help—letting them out early in the morning when I have to leave for work, taking them on walks just because she wants to, and even playing anti-anxiety music to help my nervous pup relax due to separation anxiety. She goes above and beyond, often bringing home toys for them and giving them extra love and attention. She has also watched them for me several times when I’ve been on vacation, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in great hands. Anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter would be lucky to have her!”

“I’ve used a lot of pet sitters over the years, but this one really stands out. I’m always a little nervous about leaving my cats behind, but knowing that he’s taking care of them puts my mind at ease. He spends quality time with them, which means they’re not just fed and watered but also getting the attention they need while I’m gone. What really sets him apart is how thorough he is—he follows my instructions to a T and always checks in if anything is unclear. I love that he sends me photos of my cats, it’s like a little update so I can relax knowing they’re happy. It’s clear he genuinely cares about animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
