About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Raised from a puppy to senior and believe they are wonderful blessings to everyone. My personal pets have been pugs, English bulldogs, dachshunds, rottweilers, pit bulls, and many more growing up. I enjoy getting to know each dog or cat’s need and have them enjoy their time with me. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable when you are away from home. I work remotely and letting your dog out often is never an issue. If I’m out on Saturday or Sunday it’ll only be for an hour or two. We will take breaks often to let your dog feel comfortable. When I am caring for your pet in your home, I want to know their preferences and what makes them the most comfortable while you are away. If they have a special blanket or toy, please let me know so they can have something to keep them happy while I’m there. I also want to know what makes you as the pet parent most at ease. Help me support you and your pet.

“Stephanie's warm, organized, and attentive demeanor was a treat for me and my dog alike! She went above and beyond to take care of Georgie- giving lots of attention, filling her finicky 'dinner ball', diligently sending pics/updates, and matching Georgie's vibe with opportunities to cuddle, rest, zoom or play as she needed. Responsible, warm, communicative- thank you so much Stephanie for taking GREAT care of our family!! I'll be rebooking soon💛”

About: Hi! I’m a part-time Speech-Language Pathologist, mom to an animal-loving son (school age), and lifelong pet lover with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets and those with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, shots for diabetic dogs, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, following detailed care routines, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are, especially for pets who need a little extra care. As both a healthcare professional and pet owner, I’m dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’ll care for them with the same compassion and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a part time SLP I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, day or evening drop ins or stay overs as needed! I have photos of my family (both furry and human) but only myself will be providing care for your pets. I have 4 dogs and large fenced in yard at my home in Grove city, so cannot provide care in our home as it is already a full house! However I am happily available to come to your home and spend time with your animal in their most familiar environment. I have had 11 dogs and 3 cats over the course of my adult life and have loads of experience with special needs animals, medication administration, injectable/diabetic animal treatment, seniors, special diet, allergies, you name it! I can also help with any plant care, fish feeding/cleaning or other household management tasks as needed.

About: Hello! My name’s Mary, I love animals and have had professional experience taking care of pets. I worked at a doggy day care as a manager for a year and a half. I also boarded dogs and walked them there, working with all different breeds big and small! During my time at the daycare I became dog cpr certified, have handled dog fights, cleaned wounds, and administered medication! I have my own Rottweiler, Maple who is quite the handful herself :) I’ve worked on farms caring for all different types of animals which included large guard dogs so I have comfortability and knowledge of all sizes! I love providing enrichment activities during drop in visits and boards. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own, with love and care! I have a job in the afternoon and the evenings so I have open availability in the mornings and on most weekends for walks and stays! Unfortunately I do rent a house that doesn’t allow pets but I am more than capable and willing to drive to the house of the pet and or wherever you would like them walked!

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them comes naturally to me. With years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between, and I understand how their needs can vary depending on their size and stage of life. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and of course plenty of playtime and affection. Pet sitting isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Im currently attending online school and I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and big house with a big kennel if needed. I have a very friendly cat and cavalier King Charles spaniel however they can easily be separated from your pet if required!

About: I've raised animals, mammals and reptiles mostly, my entire life. I'm known amongst my friends and family as "snow white", because creatures of all kinds seem to enjoy my presence to a strange degree, something I'm very grateful for. The well-being of your pet is my number one priority, I am attentive and detail oriented in my care style. If your pup is up for it, I can run around the backyard with your dog for hours on end! I currently work full-time at AllPaws Retreat, where I manage groups of 30+ dogs at a time; reading body language, redirecting energy, gentle behavior correction, capturing momentary obedience training opportunities, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments is the bulk of my day. In a client's home, water bowls will be kept full, any accidents will be cleaned as soon as possible, and I will adhere to your desired feeding schedule. If you have a backyard or a private outdoor area, I will gladly spend time with your pet there, making sure they don't get too scratched up or dehydrated from play. I will be in contact with you throughout the duration of the sitting period. Daily fun pictures will be sent! I will mention concerns over noticed behaviors that seem out of the ordinary or indicative of possible health conditions. My work schedule is very fluid, if you give me two weeks prior notice I can even clear my previous work schedule for your convenience. My two cats are fed twice a day, with their box being cleaned every morning and night. My youngest child, a ball python of 5 years is currently on medium sized rats, which he gets approximately every 2 weeks At a client's home, I will make sure to stay within designated animal areas if you so desire, keep the animal hydrated and fed as needed (also according to your desired feeding schedule) Any bathroom accidents will be cleaned by my own hand asap, taking care of animals is in my blood.

About: I’m a veterinary student at OSU and have over seven years of experience working in veterinary medicine! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work as a groomer, but I make time in my schedule for pet sitting because spending time with animals is something I genuinely love! I have availability almost everyday, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pets. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep pets safe and comfortable! Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while following their usual routines. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, or just hang out and cuddle, depending on what they enjoy most. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away!

About: I've grown grown up around animals. I decided to go into the veterinary field. I am most of the way through Vet tech school and plan on taking the Board exam in August. I care for sick animals and happy puppies for a living and wouldn't ask for it any other way. I'm currently working part time at a vet clinic and am taking college classes to become a technician. At home I have 2 cats, a dog, and a rabbit that I care for and love with all my heart. I follow any directions given to me to the letter. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog, I can walk the dogs as many times a day as requested and have space to crate a dog if necessary.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
