“Made it sooo easy to book & made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were taken care of while I was working. Lis also helped my puppy with training which was a plus!”
“I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely cares for all animals & treats them like family. All 3 of my dogs adored her & I received regular updates that gave me total peace of mind while we were away. Five stars all the way & we will be in contact with her for all future dog sitting!”
“Bradley was great with my crew of 7 pets including a wild Australian Shepherd. He was very respectful and on time and paid attention to all my pets (when they weren't hiding). The most shy of the cats even came out of hiding after getting used to him being in the home. I loved that Bradley sent photos for every visit and had prompt communication with me. I was very satisfied with Bradley's service and would recommend him and even hire him again in the future!”
“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”
“Marissa was so friendly, communicated really well, had no problem with my detailed instructions for my three cats, cleaned the cat boxes even though I'd told her she didn't have to, and sent photos while we were away. Thank you, Marissa!”
“Tatum does a fantastic job with our dog Duke! He loves his time with her! She’s got his schedule down and takes such good care of him! We will definitely continue to use her now and use her in the future!!”

“Susan always accepts our drop in requests no matter how last minute! She provides detailed updates & many photos to put us at-ease when away from our fur babies. She made the most ADORABLE Christmas gift basket for us and our pups and a custom Christmas card with their photos! ❤️ Susan genuinely cares about the pups that she visits, as well as her clients. I cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”

About: When my husband and I first started talking to each other it was to set up puppy play dates with our dogs and the rest is history! We both have had dogs since we were kids. Our family and friends know that their dogs are always welcome at our house anytime they come over. Our two boys enjoy playing with our dogs and give the best belly rubs around! We are both teachers and work during the week from 7-4. We are available on the weekends. We are off most holidays and during the summer. We have a fully fenced in back yard. We have two friendly dogs. One that is younger and loves to run and play. One that is older and plays for a bit, but then just likes to chill for awhile. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have dog beds they can lay on. We also have hard wood floors, so the occasional accident is no big deal.
About: I have cared for many dogs over the last 15 years. I am able to care for puppies to senior dogs and have experience giving medications, if needed. I am home all day and looking to fill the void of missing my pup who passed recently. I am able to care for your dog hands-on and will give lots of love and interaction. I have a completely fenced yard that your dog will have unlimited access to. I also provide at least one long walk every day, if your pup likes to get out and enjoy nature.
About: I have a love for all animals, big and small. I have a large dog and smaller dog, as well as a cat. I consider their well being just like I would consider mine. I currently work Monday-Thursday 7-5 and free Fridays-Sundays. If you are looking to get away for the weekend, I’m your girl. I can visit multiple times a day to make sure your pet is taken care of. I have a fenced in back yard, if I choose to board your pet. If not, I’m flexible with hours to let your pet out or just check in.
About: I'm a dog mom of 2 bull Terriers. Have had several different breeds my entire life. I love them all and enjoy each and every one of them! I currently work a full time 8-5 job. Looking to eventually take care of animals full time! This is part time for me at the moment. I will take care of your babies just as I would my own. I have several references on my care for my animals and theirs. I'm honest and caring.
“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”
About: Hello there! My name is Abby and I am a 27 year old exotic animal keeper. I have several different species ranging from large snakes to chameleons. I have been caring for exotic species for the last four years. I also care for dogs and cats. I’ve had 20 years of dog and cat care experience. I got my first dog, Sophie, when I was just five years old. Throughout the years, I cared for her and many other dogs and cats growing up. Right now, I have three of my own dogs and fourteen cats who are extremely spoiled! When watching your pet, expect them to be spoiled and loved just like they’re my own. I have experience with giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also have a senior cat and know how to provide care for any senior animal. I can care for your exotic animals in my house, as I have a separate room for my own exotics. I also can provide drop in visits for your furry friends. I have worked as a foster for shelters in Columbus for two years as well, so I am used to providing 24/7 care for other animals. I work from home full time, so I am able to have a very flexible schedule. If you need your animal cared for in my home, I am able to provide that service. I get off of work in the early evening, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits after work. My yard is fenced in, which is great for your doggie kiddos. I also do not let my cats outdoors, so any cat staying with me will be safe in the home. I have an upstairs area where I could house your pet away from my personal animals if that is wanted. I do ask that your pets be friendly with cats and dogs regardless. Small dogs are okay to be boarded in my home, as well as any cats as long as they are litter box trained.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. From small Yorkies to large dobermans. I have always been the person in my family to care for and watch their pets when needed. I am currently not working so I can be there for your pets pretty much all of the time! I have a very open schedule. I have a fenced in yard for both of my dogs. Always having water available, and food depending on the feeding schedule, and plenty of toys of the doggie is interested.

My two wild dogs love her so much and I know she loves them just as much. I trust Angie with my dogs and my home whenever I am stuck at a long day of work or out of town on vacation. 5 out of 5 stars isn't enough of a rating for her, I give her a 10!”

Gabriella B.
“Gabi is absolutely amazing with both dogs and cats! She’s kind, patient, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with animals. Whether she’s taking a dog on a long, energetic walk, playing fetch in the yard, or calmly visiting a cat who just wants some quiet companionship, she always shows so much care and attention. Gabi has looked after my pets like they were her own—making sure they’re fed, exercised, and loved. One thing that really stood out is how attentive she is to each pet’s unique personality. She quickly picked up on what my dog liked (and didn’t like!) and adjusted her approach to make him feel comfortable and happy. She also made time to sit and play with my cat, even sending me photos and updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s rare to find someone who is not only dependable and trustworthy, but also genuinely passionate about animals. I would highly recommend Gabi to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker—you and your pets will be lucky to have her!””
