House Sitting in Johnstown

“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.”

“Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!”

“Jay is communicative, detailed, clean and so sweet with the dogs! By far one of the best dog watches I have had. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Gabby was absolutely wonderful! For an over protective dog mom and first time Rover user, I could not have picked a better sitter. Gabby was quick to respond, answered all my questions, met with my dogs and I prior to sitting and made the process so easy. She spent extra time loving on the dogs and sent a lot of update photos. Gabby treated my dogs as if they were her own. If I could give her a 10 star rating I would! We will definitely be booking with Gabby for all of our dog sitting needs! ?”

“Kailyn watched our dog in our home for a long weekend and was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures. She took good care of our home while we were away. We felt completely comfortable with her and plan to have her watch our pup in the future!”

“Kayla was great with our german shepherd when we were in a pinch. She communicated with us throughout her overnight stay, sent pictures & updates & offered to help in other areas as well. We would recommend her to care for others pets/homes. Thank you Kayla :)”

“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: With the help from my mom and trainer, when I was 17, I raised and trained my own dog, Rosie, a Shilo Shepherd. I also helped my mom train her own puppies, two Aussie Shepherds, Rocco and Gypsy, and they are real bundles of energy. Especially Rocco! I will bring that same love, enthusiasm, and knowledge when taking care of your fur babies! I am currently available throughout the whole week as I am shifting work positions. Once I secure a different position, I will be available most weekend days at certain times and often on weekday evenings. I never ignore the pet, I always try to go above and beyond, when pet sitting for my parents or family friends, I would always spend at least an hour and a half outside with the dog that way they got some good exercise, I always give treats IF I have to go ahead. I always try to make sure they are well hydrated after running around outside, or even playing around in the house.

“Lauran is warm, bubbly and sweet! She instantly took to my two dogs and asked questions about their needs. We are very much looking forward to her next stay and we’d highly recommend her to anyone in need !!”

Savannah R.

“Lauren was great. She watched my kitty in my home for a few days on late notice. I got home to a clean house and a happy cat. She even dropped my fob by my place the next day, which was really sweet. I will definitely use Lauren again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of Seniors, Baby-sat, and have pets. I’ve had several years in customer service and am a responsible college student that goes to a classical Christian college called Grove City College. Walking, cleaning, and feeding pets has been a part of my life for several years. I think what is more telling is my commitment to menial tasks everyday. I am a reliable, disciplined, and routinely individual. In my clients home, I will consistently play with their pets. I’ve had prior expirence taking care of pets and really love animals. I also feed them and walk them on a schedule.

About: Hi, I'm Kathleen. I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of experience dog sitting, walking, and caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and needs. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare, overnight boarding, house sitting, and even bathing and basic grooming (like nail trims and brush-outs). Pick-up and drop-off available anywhere in New Albany, Gahanna, Westerville, West Albany, Central Village, Newark, and Johnstown. I'm work part-time from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I walk about 4 miles daily, and your dog is welcome to join me for part or all of those walks. I’m within walking distance of three dog parks (if you permit), and close to amazing walking trails like Taylor Farm Park & Nature Reserve, Bevelhymer Park, Blendon Woods, and Rocky Fork — perfect for fresh air, exploration, and lots of tail wags. I grew up helping my parents care for their Westie puppies — they were home breeders and it was my daily chore (and joy!). Since then, I’ve rescued and fostered dogs, including those with special needs (low/no vision, senior, anxiety, picky eaters, etc.) I’m experienced with special diets, medications, senior dogs, and those needing extra care and patience. Whether your pet is active or mellow, young or aging, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. And of course — unlimited belly rubs included. Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. Reach out — I’d love to get to know you and your pup! I am retired but do part-time graphic design from home. I enjoying staying at home, and love playing with dogs or just letting they nest and get cozy. I walk outdoors, usually about 3-4miles a day, and would love to have your pup along for any/all of that! I love to take photos so expect many updates. Pick up and drop off to your door available, no problem. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex, so lots of great sniffs! There are plenty of sidewalks, ponds and walking trails (and 3 dog parks within 10 minute walk if you and your put agree on that). Also, if your dog doesn't care for meeting new dogs while on walks, there are several sidewalks and foot paths to make a quick turn to cater to your dog's energy and preferences. First floor so no stairs for senior/special needs dogs. Big windows with cozy beds to lay on and watch outside :-) I live with my active 80 year mom so lots of attention and belly rubs to go around. Also I love housesitting so that is a great option if your pup prefers to stay in their own space. I'm an excellent communicator, very respectful and clean. No smoking, drugs, or alcohol. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

“Jenna took really good care of our cat while we were out of town. She texted me every day and sent pictures. I will be sure to use her again in the future!”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and have helped care for and train them since I can remember. My family and I have helped foster 5 greyhounds and babysit for friends somewhat regularly. I have plenty of free time for babysitting pups! I'm available weekdays and weekends, any time of the day, just let me know at least a day ahead of time and I'll make sure to make time to take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in backyard for your dogs to play in as well as a very friendly australian shepard to keep your dogs company (however if need be I have enough room that they could be separated), we also have chickens and an outside cat that both stay mostly out front. I have multiple large kennels in case those are needed as well. There's a pool in our backyard, however I make sure to closely monitor any pets that aren't used to pools.

“Olivia went above and beyond in watching my dog! I came back to a happy pup and a clean apartment (which I didn't ask for her to clean my place before she left). I own a 75lb GSD who is shy and barky to new people. She warmed up to Olivia right away which I feel goes to show how kind and loving Olivia is as a dog person/sitter. My dog can get nervous outside to random noises and can take some patience as she starts to pull on the leash. Olivia handled her very well and gave her the time and patience she needs. I recommend Olivia as a dog sitter to anyone and have already planned on having her watch my dog again!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart—especially after caring for my own sweet Bella, who bravely faced mouth cancer until she passed in December 2023. Helping her eat, move, and feel loved during that time taught me patience, compassion, and the true meaning of care. I also care for Bulleit, our Frenchie, who’s overcome two spine surgeries and may not walk like he used to, but still lives every day with joy and spirit. With over 5 years of experience, I treat every pet like family—giving them the love, attention, and gentle support they need. Whether it’s slow, comforting walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. I can’t wait to meet your special companion and be their loving second best friend. I currently work second shift from 4 PM to 12:30 AM, so my mornings and afternoons are free—perfect for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pet plenty of attention during the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care and companionship whenever your furry friend needs it most. This schedule allows me to focus on making sure every pet I care for feels happy, loved, and well looked after throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in their own home or mine, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely—whether it’s about feeding, medication, or special needs—and make sure to keep dangerous items out of reach. At my home, I provide a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and rest, free from hazards. In your home, I respect your space and routine, keeping everything just as you like it while giving your pet loving attention and companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, ready to respond calmly to any situation, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and stress-free at all times.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 and have always had a heart for animals. I now take care of my own farm and it is an absolute joy. I love animals and being able to provide services to people and their pets. I have a very flexible schedule to ensure your pet is getting the proper care and attention it deserves. Pets are family and deserve to be treated like it! I have two acres fenced in, so your pup can get plenty of fun and exercise. I have a golden retriever who loves to play with other dogs and will be happy to keep your pet company, along with a sweet outdoor dog and cat on my farm. Your dog will have full access to my home and yard while being supervised, and can easily be crated if that is what you prefer. Caring for pets is my only job, and it is my priority to make everyone feel safe, loved, and comfortable when in my care. If there is anything extra I can do to ensure your pet has fun, I make sure to do it. I love giving homemade treats (if approved), filling up the kitty pool so they can swim, etc. I don’t want dogs to just stay at my home, I want to provide an experience for them!

“Erin watched our 2 large Shiloh Shepherds for 3 days (overnight) and she was wonderful! She took great care of our boys, took time to play with them outside, and gave them lots of love and cuddles. She also sent tons of photos, which was greatly appreciated. Our dogs seem to miss her already! Erin also left our house in great shape and was very communicative during the process. Would absolutely have Erin dog sit for us again!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I find joy training puppies and older dogs (if they'll allow me to of course). I enjoy being outside more than inside and being able to see the doggos smile just for being outside. I'm a flexible mom of 2 whom both play sports, travel and for their school. I adjust my time around my families schedule which gives me a lot of flexibility during school hours and most evenings. I will care for your animals as if they were my own. As a mother, nurturing is something I love to give to those who cannot speak for themselves. I believe all animals play a very important role in all families whether it be service animals, friendship, to travel buddies.

“Caroline was so great with our dog. She has her own dog and they had a blast together. Lots of pictures and updates which is always appreciated! :)”
