Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid and have years of hands-on experience caring for both. I regularly cat sit for friends, including senior cats who require specialized food and medication, and I’m very comfortable following detailed care routines. I’m patient and encouraging with dogs and focus on calm, consistent care. Whether it’s walks or drop-ins, my goal is to provide dependable, low-stress care so both you and your pets feel comfortable and supported. *Open to all species! Pet care is a consistent and important part of my week. I schedule regular walks, visits, and check-ins at times that work best for each pet’s routine. When caring for cats, I follow their feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and provide quiet companionship. Dogs get attentive walks or playtime, with plenty of patience and encouragement. I prioritize consistency, so pets feel safe, comfortable, and supported while their owners are away. I treat every home and pet with care and respect. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and routines, and I make sure to keep the space clean and secure. I provide companionship, walks, and attention as needed, always prioritizing the pet’s comfort and safety.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8, having owned rottweilers and a pug. I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, ages, and energy level. I am a student at Ohio State looking to make a couple extra bucks while hanging out with cute dogs! I am available weekends and weekdays after 1 PM I give dogs lots of attention through playtime, a walk, brushing them, or just laying with them. I can follow specific instructions with feeding, bathroom breaks, or routines they have. Can also send updates or photos if wanted/needed.

Downtown, Columbus, OH, 43215

About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

About: I have had dogs all my life. From relaxed dogs to absolute crazy ones, no matter what they are always my best friend. I have taught all my dogs their basic skills, like sit, heal, and also to sit at crosswalks until I say it’s clear! I have dealt with all different sizes of dogs and ages for dogs, always happy help. I am a college student. So my availability varies from time to time, but I will try my best to get back to you as soon as possible to help with your pet. My dog is apart of my family so I treat her with love and respect! I give her loads of belly rubs as those are her favorite! I walk her everyday typically twice a day. She gets told she’s a pretty girl 24/7 because she’s gotta know her worth! My dog is my whole world, I’ll do anything for her!

Bella was amazing for housesitting during my two week trip! This was my first time leaving my dog alone and she made me feel so comfortable. She provided me with daily updates and photos on how he was doing! Was very attentive and nurturing with him! And made sure she asked a lot of questions beforehand so I felt comfortable she was very prepared for things I hadn’t even considered when leaving him. She is amazing with dogs. Cannot recommend her enough!!!

Once again, Carlie took wonderful care of our pups, and we returned to happy dogs and a home exactly as we left it. Our golden retriever required extra attention this time due to new medication and storm anxiety, and Carlie handled both with ease. She kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, and we could tell everyone had settled in comfortably together. We’re so grateful to have her. We didn’t have a single worry while we were away!
