About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime. I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.
About: I love my dog and 3 cats, but have room in my heart to love many more! Your pets will be healthy and safe in my care. Whether throwing a ball, playing with toys or just snuggling together, your pet will be loved! I work from home with a flexible schedule that can fit most needs. I live on the east side of Columbus and I can easily travel locally. I have a proven track record of being reliable and conscientious. I realize I am a guest in your home and respect your home and property. I will always lock up when I leave and ensure pets are safely inside.

About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.

About: With my eight years of experience, I have cared for mammals as-well as reptiles. I am highly dependable, caring and trustworthy for your pets!

A have a large open yard that needs to be leashed in, I have cats of my own friendly and welcoming! Anything they can’t have or isn’t part of their diet will not be in reach or given to.
About: I have 3 dogs at home that I love dearly. I have been caring for them ever since I was young as well as dog sitting for my neighbors and friends. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. If you chose me to care for your loved pets, you won’t be disappointed. Message me with any questions that you might have. Thank you.

I can easily follow any directions you ask of me while taking care of your beloved pets. I will do my best to make sure your needs are met as well as your pets!
“Jaz is wonderful. She showed for me up last minute for a dog walk, and she always responds to messages promptly. You can tell she really cares about the dogs under her care as if they were her own dogs. I don’t think I could recommend anyone better!”


About: I’m someone who approaches animal care with genuine warmth, patience, and deep respect for each pet’s unique personality. I believe trust is earned through consistency and attentiveness, so I take the time to understand not just routines, but the little details that make your animal feel safe and happy. Whether it’s sticking closely to feeding schedules, maintaining familiar habits, or offering extra comfort when they seem anxious, I’m committed to providing a steady, reassuring presence. I’m highly accommodating and adapt easily to different needs. Whether that means administering medications, managing special diets, or adjusting my approach for shy, energetic, or senior pets. I aim to make the experience as seamless as possible for both you and your animals, keeping communication open and providing regular updates so you always feel connected and at ease. Above all, I genuinely care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and attention to their emotional well-being. My goal is to create an environment where your pets feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working part time (5-6 hours a day) but i’m able to go remote if needed. I’m in college but on summer break currently! I have my personal animals at home, but i can usually fit any services into my schedule pretty easily :) I will show up when intended and respect your home and all the boundaries set. I will take care of your animals and treat them as if they’re my own.

About: I have 15 years of pet care experience. Growing up my grandmother always needed help with her cat and dog, whether it was feeding them or walking Spuds! I have experience in bathing both cats and dogs and I personally give my cats a quarterly wash-down. I am comfortable with administering topical ointments or giving shots if needed. I assisted many times with my local TNR program and have great experience with cats specifically. I am currently a part-time student and working an internship that is based on the EST time zone. So I am up early and ready to go at all hours. I am work from home and my classes are also online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will always animal proof homes regardless if it’s mine or not. Pets having access to fresh water is always a must. Caring for pets is a case by case as all of them have their own personalities! If they need quiet, that’s cool or if they’re more rowdy I can get down with that too!
About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have read up on animal first aid and training. Also having trained 3 dogs.

Other than those times I am free! I try to be as flexible I can and figure things out with scheduling! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me!
About: I currently have an 13year old English Bulldog, Roxy! She has always been pretty easy to please, make sure her food and water are full and her bed is available 😃 I have 4grandpups that live in Cincinnati. They know when they get to Grandma's neighborhood, they start getting excited and restless in the car. I also have 2 grand cats. They are two of the most laid back cats I have ever met. I watch them for my daughter when she has to travel.I also have a Bearded Dragon, Jose. He is probably 7years old. I'm looking to blend my free time with my love for dogs and really all animals (I don't do snakes 😬) . I do work during the week so would be able to do more evening and weekend walks, drop-in, etc.. I look forward to meeting you!! I get an hour lunch at my Monday -Thursday job. I have some flexibility to go home and give a potty break. I am pretty flexible with a sleep schedule also. We have a fenced backyard and own our home. I also have a 13 year old English Bulldog, Roxy, that gets along with our 4grandpups.
“Darren was wonderful with Teddy. He took him on a nice, vigorous walk and sent pictures along the way. I’d recommend Darren to anyone. You can tell he’s very genuine in his connection w/ his clients, and Teddy loved him immediately when he walked in the door. Teddy even gave him a kiss on the nose which is reserved for very special people!”

About: What sets me apart is that I bring more than basic pet-sitting experience to the table. I have real hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds, including puppies, higher-drive dogs, and dogs that do best with structure, consistency, and confident handling. I pay attention to the individual dog in front of me and believe good care is not one-size-fits-all. Some dogs need a quiet, steady environment. Some need routine and clear boundaries to feel settled. My goal is to make their stay safe, smooth, and well managed while giving owners real peace of mind. For longer stays, select a la carte training may also be available for pet parents who want to add a little more value to their dog’s time with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because dogs are already a big part of my life. Dogs staying with me are not an afterthought or just added into the background of my day. I build my schedule in a way that allows me to be attentive, consistent, and intentional about the care they receive. My goal is for dogs in my care to be well looked after, well handled, and part of a structured daily rhythm that helps them feel settled, safe and secure. So YOU can have a breath of fresh air during you travels. I also value clear communication and reliability. I can be flexible with Drop-off and pick-up times but unless communicated (and agreed) at the time of booking I do expect to follow the agreed upon appointment prior to booking so everything stays smooth, respectful, and well managed for both the dogs and the people involved. Nobody can prevent the unexpected, I just ask that you keep in communication because I do run my wife to and from doctor appointments and sometimes I take the dogs out on adventures. Safety, trust, and thoughtful management matter a lot in my home and in the way I care for dogs. I have a fenced backyard, my own dogs, and a setup built around keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and well managed. My family also have our own dogs, including Belgian Malinois and a Border Collie. Because every dog is different, I do not automatically allow dogs to mix or play together, especially when I am meeting a dog for the first time. Unless dogs come in together as part of the same family, they are typically kept separate from other client dogs and from my personal dogs for safety reasons. My goal is to avoid unnecessary risk and give each dog a calm, well-managed stay. If an owner strongly wants their dog to have playtime with another dog, that would only happen carefully, with a dog I know well, that I believe is an appropriate match, and with close supervision at all times. Safety comes first. I would rather be cautious than make a preventable mistake and have to tell an owner their dog was injured. Dogs are also fed separately in a secure, peaceful environment so they can eat and rest without pressure, competition, or stress. I keep numbers limited and generally do not take more than five dogs at a time, and there are times when there are no visiting dogs at all besides my own. Depending on the timing, some dogs may have a very quiet stay with plenty of space and individual attention. Dogs are allowed on furniture in my home, but I respect the owner’s rules. If your dog is not allowed on furniture at home and you want that maintained during their stay, I will honor that. I believe consistency matters. For drop-in visits, care is provided in the client’s home and can include feeding, fresh water, medication, potty breaks, playtime, cleanup of any messes made during the visit, bringing in mail, and watering plants. Waste pickup from that day’s visit is included, and extra yard cleanup can be added for an additional fee if needed. Structured walks may also be available. Because of my training background, walks and drop-ins can offer more than basic supervision when appropriate, with added structure and useful handling built into the visit.

About: My husband and I have been "boarding" friends' dogs for over 8 years now! We are HUGE dog lovers and have always owned medium to large sized dogs in our home from boxers and mutts to German Shorthaired Pointers. We have pet sat for a variety of breeds, including pits, shepherds, shitzus, labs and numerous other breeds. All of the dogs in our own family go through obedience training and we exercise them regularly! We are both avid exercisers and outdoors people. We have over 2 acres for your dogs to explore, run, sunbathe and more. I am also a runner so I am willing to run with your dog or take them on a hike! Our neighbor right next door is a Master Level dog trainer of over 30 years who we consult on all things doggy behavior and if you had any specific questions, we would definitely utilize her expertise! I have been a lifelong dog lover and would adopt all of the dogs if I could. Our goal is to provide your furbaby with all of the love and caring that you give them at home, while having a super fun, safe and energy-expending experience. I am a picture and video fanatic and will text/send frequent updates throughout the day of your pup!
“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”
