“Lacey was great with Varney, taking him out as far as he needed to go to do his business. She also let him sniff and chew sticks which is part of his routine.”
“Vanessa kept her word and showed up on the days contracted for allowing me to go out of town on a business trip. Both my mother and my dog (Coco) were pleased with her. I hope she is available again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have seen them in every stage of life. I love spending time with them, and I have cared for puppies of all ages, sizes and breeds. I have also pet sit for multiple different clients. I have basic pet first aid skills, and your pets safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently working part-time. Please reach out for my hours and we can arrange something that works for both of us. I can’t wait to meet your pup! The pet being comfortable, safe, and well-cared for is my top priority. I am familiar with dogs of all different needs and energy levels, and will customize my care to ensure that they are happy and healthy. As of right now, I am not offering boarding services.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages over the past 45 years from my poodle mix, Brutus, to my most beloved black lab, Gracie Ann. Currently, my Siberian cat, Jimmy, seems to be raising me! I spend time loving my grand-dogs and grand-cat as well. I was trained as a Capital Area Humane Society dog walker. I do find a special place in my heart for the senior pet. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I do volunteer work, dabble in some hobbies but there is still plenty of time available to take a walk or drop in and make sure your pet is safe. Even an overnight is possible. Due to apartment living, I would need to take care of pets in your home. I am available during the week and some weekends. I’m both an early riser and end the night after the evening news. All of my pets have been considered part of my family and they get the best of my love, including good food, vet care and are usually “spoiled rotten”. BUT, I am respectful of owners’ living space and requests. I am very organized and will provide safe and loving care. My prices are flexible as we all are on a budget yet we want the best care for our 4 legged family members. I promise to care for your children just like my own.
About: I grew up with a family dog and was always involved in feeding and walks. As an adult I've watched and checked on dogs for several family members and friends. I am available for feedings and walks and happy to work on any training or commands with your pets! I have experience with all dog sizes. This is currently my full-time job so I have a wide range of availability! I will also be in Columbus for most of the summer so I'm happy to help during any summer vacation plans! I am very respectful of any house rules while dog sitting. I have watched dogs that cannot be alone in yards or need to be crated while alone or during the night. I will do everything I need to make sure the dog is comfortable while I watch them and to respect your home.
“Payton is always on time and looks after the girls like they are her own. Since I have chihuahuas they typically don’t like to walk too far so she sits with them after they go potty to fill up the time. Another great walk/sitting!”
“Molly was AMAZING! She stepped right in when I contacted her last minute with short notice for help to have someone walk my pup. Biscuit immediately connected with her because of her gentle and kind spirit. I definitely recommend booking Molly!!”
“Madison is the ultimate professional! I trust my two goldens with her implicitly. She is consistent, reliable, fast to respond, and always posts photos and updates for each walk. Will continue to work with her through the year. Highly recommended!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my reliable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s high-energy playtime, gentle senior care, or sticking to a detailed routine, I adapt to your pet’s unique needs. I’m currently in school, but my schedule is flexible enough to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I use my free time between classes and on weekends to provide walks, playtime, and lots of love. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, and play—all while keeping your space clean and respected. I make sure pets feel secure while you’re away by giving them lots of attention, snuggles, and consistency.
About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.

About: Every day I look forward to the after work greeting I receive from my own pups, Millie and Maisel. It is my absolute favorite part of the day and never gets old :) They are my constant shadows, balls of unconditional love, and best cuddle bugs. I can't imagine not having them by my side. I love exploring Columbus with them and I welcome the chance to explore with new pups! I grew up with dogs and cats in the house and I am well accustomed to their needs. From long walks, and endless fetch sessions to picky eaters and the like, I am ready for it all. I understand that a pet is an extension of the family and I would not have them treated any other way. Raising Millie and Maisel from just lil pups is one of my proudest accomplishments! I am a full time teacher so I am happy to do drop ins anytime after 3:30 and on weekends. In the summer, I can provide day care at your home or mine. I welcome detailed notes about care and I do my absolute best to stick to each pets typical routine. I treat them as I would expect someone would who is sitting for my own pups.

“Lilly would be a great pet caregiver because she is a kind and compassionate person. She takes care of her pets excellently, they have never once missed a vet appointment or gone hungry. Her animals are happy and healthy and she gives them plenty of attention. She has plenty of toys for her animals to play with. She provides a safe and nurturing environment for them as well. She has built play rooms for her animals and is always constantly updating it. She makes sure that they have fun. She also shows compassion to random animals. She leaves food bowls out for neighborhood animals and makes sure that no animal around her goes hungry. Lilly is an excellent animal caretaker and I have trusted my animals with her several times.”
