Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”


“Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!”

He is in the best hands when Kelly’s around — calm, content, and totally spoiled with love and attention. Kelly’s updates are always reassuring and heartfelt, and her genuine care for animals really shines through. I am so grateful to have someone so dependable and compassionate looking after my little gent. Thank you, Kelly, and until next time! 🐾”

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: There’s never been a time in my life without animals in the home! From a young age, I helped care for our dogs—feeding them (we even cooked their meals from scratch!), playing, and giving them lots of love. I have vivid memories of spending hours bonding with them as a child. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I’ve looked after senior dogs and have experience giving medication when needed. My calm, nurturing nature helps animals feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re shy, playful, or in their golden years. I’m currently visiting home for the summer, I will be available until the 30th of July. My schedule is flexible as I’m not working right now. You know your pet better than anyone — you’re the boss! I’m happy to follow any instructions or stick to a strict routine to make sure your fur baby stays happy and comfortable. Please provide a strong description of your pets personality, as it will help me adapt quickly and build trust. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can see just how happy your baby is while you’re away!

“Kelly was great! She took great care of our dogs and even gave them all the walks and cuddles. She sent daily updates and our dogs/house was in pristine shape once we got back. Thanks so much for being so awesome and taking care of our dogs while we were away. Will totally use her 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.”


“Madison was great! She provided a ton of updates on my dog and sent lots of pictures. He looked so happy with her! She also stayed in my home and left the place spotless. Will definitely use her again!”


About: As a veterinary student at OSU and with several years of professional animal handling in and out of veterinary medicine, I have the experience and professional training to make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pup is a love at first sight kinda guy/gal or a slow mover that takes some time to warm up I will make them feel just as loved as they are with you! I would love to get to know your pet no matter the life stage, hyper puppy, rambunctious teen, or a chill senior who may need a little extra care. I am trained in working with dogs who many need special behavioral considerations or medication administration. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. I would love to hear from you! I am currently on break from school so you’re furry friend won’t have to compete from my attention. My schedule is very flexible so if you don’t see times that works for you on my schedule, message me to see if we can find a better fit. I love to make sure that your pets can keep their daily routine as normal as possible when you are away. That includes walk times, park visits, feeding schedules, and cuddle time. I would love to hear about any special needs or request is. Because of my own sweet pup who is a bit of an introverted gal, I do not offer boarding in my home. I will make sure your pet gets all the attention they deserve within the comforts of their own home.

“Jody was amazing! She was polite, punctual, very friendly, and easy to communicate with. She sent me lots of pictures and I'm very confident in leaving my kitty in her care. I highly recommend her services!”

Kaela w.
“I have known Kaela AKA Nicole for a very long time, I’d say 11 years at least. Nicole has watched and cared for my dogs numerous times over the years. The dogs I’ve had over the years range in size and shape. I’ve had teacup yorkie to boxer, pit bulls, and Shar Pei’s. Nicole cared for my animals from days to weeks at a time. Nicole is very sincere when it comes to animals. Dogs are her passion especially. I have one dog that I brought from Florida to Ohio with me. This dog has not seen Nicole in five years and since she walked through the door, he knew exactly who she was and that’s a teacup yorkie I have. To put that much in an impression on a dog‘s life to remember somebody five years she must be doing something right I never had an issue with her. She’s an excellent worker.”

Alexandra P.
“If you’re looking for someone that is reliable, trustworthy, and flexible with great communication skills, a genuine passion for animals and real understanding of animal behavior, then this is your girl! She has taken incredible care of my large dog Madison on their numerous walks together. My dog is pretty high energy and can be reactive to wildlife. Alex has handled her quirks with incredible understanding, patience and flexibility. On the hotter days of the summer I know I can always trust Alex to look out for the well-being of my dog and make any necessary adjustments to their walk to ensure the safety of my fur baby. I am a 4th year veterinary student, so I can be pretty picky with who I trust to care for my dog, however, I seriously can’t recommend her enough!”

Hanna C.
“While I have only know Hanna a short time, it is easy to see how responsible and caring she is when it comes to her animals, as well as the pets of her friends and family. She is a successful veterinary student that will be moving on to her second year of vet school, and her knowledge and dedication are unmatched. She understands the importance of proper animal health care, but at the same time she creates a playful, joyful environment for animals to be in through positive interactions. As a person who is very particular with who I ask to watch my animals, I can say confidently that I would put my full trust in Hanna to take care of my own pets. More importantly, I fully trust Hanna to make the right choices for my pets in my absence or in the case of an emergency. She is a wonderful choice for anyone that needs top tier care for their pets!”
