“Samantha took great care of two Labs and sent us lots of pictures, which we greatly appreciated! At the last minute, we had to ask her to drop off our sick cat at our Vet's office the day we left on our trip and she gladly did it. The next day, on her own initiative, she visited our cat at the Vet's office to give him some TLC.”


“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”


“Paige was amazing!!! She took such great care of Bella and went the extra mile when Bella wasn’t eating to figure out how to get her to eat a little and to check in with us. She sent us updates and pictures. I can’t tell you how awesome it was to know our baby was in good hands and being spoiled while we were away !!”


“Kiera did a fantastic job watching my energetic shepherd! In addition to the care she provided, she demonstrated excellent communication with me. I had an easy vacation because I knew Skie was in good hands while I was away.”


About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Ashley is the absolute sweetest! So very thoughtful and patient with our two pups, who can be a bit high maintenance. Thank you for being the best caretaker we could have ever asked for while we were away!”


“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”


“Jay did an amazing job caring for my boy and went above and beyond to try to make him comfortable. He has a lot of anxiety as it is, but there was unexpected construction just out front of my house and a big thunderstorm that made it a very challenging week and I could not have asked for a better person to help him through it. Jay was so accommodating with all of the different issues he was having. My house was also spotless when I came home. I would absolutely recommend booking with Jay!”


“Gabby is always so attentive to detail! One of my dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes which comes with a host of problems and I was so anxious to leave him, especially after a recent trip to the emergency vet. Gabby house sat with both of my dogs and handled my plethora of notes/instructions. She took Knuckles for a walk, gave him his insulin, and even did some things outside of taking care of the dogs - handled some package deliveries and brought in our trash cans.”


“My wife and I were in Columbus recently from out of town for our daughter's wedding. We're so happy we found Morgan for our two pups! Morgan stayed with them for two evenings in our Airbnb. Morgan calmed them with her gentle, caring manner and provided us with pics each time. Her communication was excellent and she helped to eliminate any worries we had about leaving our dogs alone. When we need help with the dogs in the future, we won't hesitate to give Morgan a call!”


“Mallory was amazing and when she gets back from vacation, I will contact her again. She showed up on time and was professional and friendly. My dog loved her and was very calm when I returned home. I highly recommend her.”


About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Christine did a wonderful job watching our boy. She accommodated our request to do a meet & greet before. And kept him company while we were away. We would definitely have her back again!”


“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”


“Brittany did a great job watching our golden retriever and was very polite and responsive. He was very happy with her company. We would love to have her come back and watch him again!”


“Haley did an outstanding job. She’s an incredibly mature young lady and a real dog whisperer. She is very responsive to questions and took great care of our pups and our house during our four-day trip. Haley watched our 2 dogs recently. One has separation anxiety and the other is an elderly, stubborn corgi who was recently diagnosed with cancer. The diagnosis was a recent development that occurred after I had made the reservation. When I informed Haley and asked if she wanted to reconsider, she never hesitated and confidently said no. I considered leaving copious notes about each pup’s quirks and habits beforehand, but decided to just leave their meds schedule and little else. Haley figured out their personalities and quirks quickly; even how to get my picky eater how to eat. Upon return I could tell both pups were not really stressed about the separation and that’s the highest compliment I could give a pup-sitter. Thank you Haley!”


“Hannah-Marie was wonderful! She communicated with us the entire time and sent pictures of our pups. While we were away, there was a snow storm. She updated us on the weather conditions and accommodated when we considered having to make travel changes. I would definitely recommend Hannah-Marie to anyone!”


“She was great with Milo he is a big ball of energy and she kept up with him! He has allergy medication she was able to give him and got cute pics of him and her daughter playing very sweet :)”


“Laura and Dan were wonderful with our pitbull Baloo! They stayed overnight with him during the 4th of July. We got frequent updates that made our pet parent hearts happy. The house was well taken care of, and most importantly Baloo was well taken care of. Will book with them again!”
