Animal Lover Who Works Remotely

I'm a work-from-home marketing content writer living in a dog-friendly community, located a mile from Schiller Park. I’ve been working remote for over 3 years and although that allows me to adopt a dog, I'd rather utilize my flexible schedule by working more. My home is a two bedroom, two-floor set up with a fenced-in backyard. I'm originally from Gahanna, went to high school in Bexley, and graduated from OSU. BUT, I've called Brooklyn, Montreal, Canada, Chicago, Cincinnati and Florence, Italy all home at one time. I am active and willing to drive, but my ideal assignment would be to walk a dog or host a dog for up to 8 hours or overnight , within a 4 mile radius in the central columbus area.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 08, 2026

This was my first time ever having a dog sitter and Michelle made it such an easy and great experience. Michelle provided lots of pictures and videos and made sure my Aussie got plenty of attention and exercise. I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave my dog with her again.

Michelle was super nice and kept us informed, our dog we think had some anxiety while he was there due to us being away so he developed diarrhea it just went away so he’s finally acting like himself again it’s Friday and we picked him up Monday. He was moved to the basement while there due to his issue which we definitely understand but I think this contributed to his issue, since he is always around people and all of a sudden isolated. Michelle again was very nice and cared for the pup, which we appreciate. :)

Pets

A typical day

I’m athletic- swimmer, jogger, walker and biker- BUT I'm a better snuggler with a pet-in need of love and attention. My one cat, Quebec, is an indoor/outdoor explorer, who has more canine traits than feline. He visits and greets many dogs in the community and is a "known" socialite.

I need details! Is your dog "dog-friendly"? Meaning ok with encountering other dogs in its walking path? Shy? A rescue, who may not like certain areas petted? Allergies? Special needs?
