House Sitting Grandview Heights

“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my life, helping family, neighbors, and friends. My family dog growing up was my whole world, and now so is my dog Lu. Lu and I work very diligently on training and spend some time every day working on something. I am passionate about learning about dog behavior and dog training, and it’s been amazing watching Lu learn with me. I work from home full-time; some days I leave once for 1-3 hours. Your pet will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, and I have no trouble sticking to their routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and naps. It is also my pride and joy to give as much love and attention as humanly possible! I live in a clean, cozy, one-bedroom apartment on the second floor--I do not have a yard, but am always available for walks, trips to dog parks, or time on the field right next door. I also live right next to the Olentangy trail. My coonhound mix, Lu, is sweet and cuddly and loves to play, but is adept at reading other dogs' cues regarding play and backs off if your pet isn't feeling it.

“Erica took really good care of our animals while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updated us daily. She also did an amazing job on giving our cat his medications. Would recommend and book again.”

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my unique blend of lifelong pet ownership, formal training, and the capability to handle pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and small animals since birth, which has given me an intuitive understanding of animal body language and care. Beyond casual pet ownership, I spent seven years as an active 4-H member, which instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, structure, and professional responsibility when it comes to animal management. At 250 pounds, I possess the physical strength and confidence required to safely handle larger or giant breeds that tend to pull on leashes, an area where many campus sitters struggle. Whether you have a tiny cat requiring gentle, patient drop-in visits, a senior dog needing a calm routine, or a massive breed that needs a firm and confident handler, my extensive 4-H background ensures your pet will be kept safe, structured, and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because my schedule allows me to offer dedicated, high-quality care exactly when pet parents need it most. From Monday through Friday, I have large blocks of free time between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM (except Thursdays), which is the absolute peak window for mid-day dog walks and drop-in visits around the Ohio State University campus and surrounding neighborhoods. For overnight house sitting, I focus entirely on an alternating weekend schedule. Every other weekend, my schedule is completely clear of academic commitments. On these working weekends, my girlfriend visits me from out of town, allowing us to team up and provide constant companionship, regular updates, and double the care for your pet. I actively manage my calendar a month in advance, ensuring that any booking I accept receives my full, structured commitment. Safety, structure, and respect are my top priorities when caring for a pet in a client's home. Because I have seven years of formal training through 4-H and have raised dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life, I know how to establish a calm, trusted bond with a pet while maintaining a secure environment. When house sitting, I strictly adhere to the owner's established routines, feeding schedules, and household rules to minimize any anxiety the pet might feel while their family is away. At 250 pounds, I am highly confident in my physical ability to maintain complete leash control on walks, even with large or giant breeds that tend to pull, ensuring every outdoor trip is safe and controlled. I am also extremely detail-oriented when it comes to home security. I make sure all doors and gates are securely locked, respect the client's privacy and property completely, and never allow unauthorized guests into the home without explicit, upfront permission. Whether I am handling a delicate cat drop-in or a weekend house sitting gig with a massive breed, pet parents can expect transparent communication, regular photo updates, and a safe, clean environment.

“Mallory is absolutely outstanding and I can’t say enough good things about her! She really went above and beyond taking such great care of our pets while we were away; sending pictures and updates daily, asking questions when needed, and giving them endless attention & affection. Absolutely will book her again!!”

“Miriam did a great job housesitting for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She watered flowers and put the trash out as well as the car she gave to my kitty. She also contacted me when issues came up regarding the house, which I greatly appreciate appreciated.”

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

About: Over a year of experience with pet sitting through PetButler, caring for all types of animals. Walking and drop in visits were done. Dog daycare experience as well. Good communication and strive to provide the best experience for your pet. I am available throughout the week, although I am a student the only conflict I have is Mondays around 4-5. So very open during the week and some weekend availability. At your home I will follow instructions carefully to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether that’s using a leash, harness, or keeping them in a fenced in area.

“Rachel did a great job watching our old man for a couple nights. Munchie is 19 and pretty low maintenance but has his quirks. Sent pictures throughout the day and let us know when he was up and about. Would ask her to watch him again!”

“Adelaine was on time and followed instructions. She gave our boy so much love and attention. We can't wait to have her help out with Yoshi again!”

About: I have been taking care of pets all sizes and ages for over 6 years both in and out of the home. I make it my personal mission to love and care for your babies so you’re able to be away knowing they’re being cared for just the same. I am currently in school and working part time which gives me my evenings and weekends free to take care of your pets. I have my own fur babies at home and one of my own so finding time to take care of others pets when they need it not only benefits you, but also me! I have experience with all types of animals and their routines. I am experienced on crate and litter training, active or non active. I am able to keep up and adapt to any animals needs and create the best routine and environment for them.

“Rebecca did an amazing job with our very reactive pup! Our dog is very sweet with humans but is very reactive towards other dogs, making walking her understandably challenging. Rebecca watched her for a week and had no issues during this time. Would definitely recommend!”

“Hannah was great with Luna! Super reliable and kept me in the loop with updates and cute pics, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely book with her again.”
