About: My expertise is with dogs & cats. I have a 3 year old dog and kitten that I love dearly and grew up with cats. I have walked and boarded dogs at our home for family and friends. I am reliable and will ensure your pet stays on their schedule and is as comfortable as possible. I work from home and am more flexible to be able to take care of your fur babies’ needs. I spend most of my weekends in Columbus so am open and flexible to both weekly and weekend boarding. I have a fenced in back yard and space for a large crate in the house if needed. My 3 year old husky/golden retriever mix is very friendly and loves to meet new friends! My kitten is also very friendly and loves to be around new dog friends.

About: I have been surrounded by and full of passion for pets and animals since I was a little girl! We always had cats and dogs growing up. I rode horses and worked at the barn I rode at, the barn cats were always the highlight of my day! I also have experience in dog and cat grooming and I am very knowledgeable in animal communication and handling! I have experience with medication and am comfortable with administration of injection or pills if that is care your pet requires! I have dogs, cats and a geckos at home so I love and am comfortable with care of pets of all varieties! I have been in animal caretaking from pet sitting and dog walks for 5 years now but have years of experience from before from grooming salons and doggy daycares! I am an artist so pet sittings are great for me and dog/cat drop ins throughout my day are super easy to involve in my daily routine! I also work for a food truck but our busy times are in the summer festival season so in between events I have lots of spare time! I unfortunately don’t offer boarding services since I have pets of my own in my own home and don’t live alone. But I am very able and comfortable with staying at the pet owners home or providing drop in visits and walking services! I have a very flexible schedule and very rarely have days that are long work hours. I am typically available all day and work from home often on my own schedule! I have experience in medicine administration so if your pet has those needs please discuss that with me! I have worked with puppies to seniors and am comfortable with a variety of different types of care your pet may need!
