About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015, but I’ve had pets all my life. I truly treat every animal like family. Caring for my pitbull for 13 years and my cat for 8 years, immediately after that, I understand deep, loyal love. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive energy. Pets feel safe, seen, and comforted in my care. I’m currently in the slow season with my company and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of your fur babies. I have 2-4 hours of time I may have to work a day but the rest is becoming besties with your bestie. ☺️ I have a fenced in yard and no existing pets. Your fur baby will feel nice and safe like they are on vacation too with lots of love and attention.

About: I have extensive experience in geriatric and special needs care. I've given injections, medicine, eye drops, ect. and I'm not afraid to learn more special care for your pet! I'm currently working from home and am able to care for your pet most of the day. We don't travel much and like doing house work/projects so we are home most of the time. We have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run, play, and potty. We have an assortment of dog rope toys and tennis balls, a variety of treat types, a large dog bed, and an XL dog crate if needed.

“Mary was fantastic and took such good care of Archie! He played HARD with another puppy there and slept like a baby when he got home. He had so much fun! Thank you for watching him!”

“Anudari was super sweet and kind. She was willing to keep Apollo till late which was super helpful for my husband and I! She sent tons of pics and videos of Apollo during his stay and he seemed so happy and tired by the end of it. She also has a super cute puppy who kept Apollo company.”

About: I adopted a hound mix from the shelter who was so afraid of the world and has become the most well-adjusted, friendly boy in the world! I also adopted a stray dog in December who has already grown leaps and bounds! I would love to pet sit/dog walk for you and love taking dogs to their own private sniff spots when they spend numerous days with me :) I am pet-sitting full time, so I have all the time to focus on caring for pets :) I am willing to come to your home anytime of day or pet sit in my home, 7 days a week. I have two friendly dogs at home and can watch your pet at home. Otherwise, I am more than happy to pet sit at your home! Dogs stay on leash unless we are at a fenced sniffspot, as approved by owner :)

“Michelle was AMAZING! We have a 3 month old puppy and she was truly incredible with him. We got tons of updates and lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend using Michelle to watch your fur baby - I will definitely be using her again!”

About: From my experience growing up on a farm to caring for two dogs and a cat as a young professional, I've developed quite a bit of pet care knowledge and skills. I've cared for puppies and kittens and adult dogs and cat through good times and hard times. Over the years, I've learned a lot and I'm happy to use that experience to care for your's as well. My wife and I both work from home during the week so we have plenty of time for pet care. When our dog Frank was around, we would often go on walks with him and my daughter and visit local parks. Unfortunately, we don't have time to care for puppies or kittens at this stage in life but adult dogs and cats are welcome. We live in downtown Columbus in a single family home with a large fenced yard. We're surrounded by lots of sidewalks and live within walking distance to several parks. In our home, we have a large soft crate for dogs and small crates for cats, if needed. We expect all pets to be potty/house trained and dogs to sleep in a crate overnight. We don't allow dogs on furniture or in beds, but they're welcome throughout the home. Our cat, Cleo, roams the house but will often stay on the 2nd floor when new pet friends stay over. She has been great with new cats and dogs, often warming up to them after a day or two. We also have a 2.5 year old daughter who is home most of the week. She's great with cats and dogs and we expect any pets that stay with us to be comfortable with children.

About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.

“Amazing. Shanelle is by far the best sitter I’ve ever had for Atla my doberman. She was always updating me and was super transparent and inviting. I would recommend Shanelle to everyone. Thank you Shanelle for taking good care of Atla for me. We appreciate it ?. Your neighbors Fonzy and Irvin”

“Laila & Phil was great! I was provided with frequent updates and pictures while my pup attended daycare! It was so great to see pictures of him having fun and running around to ease my mind while at work. They were also very accommodating and easily worked around my everchanging work schedule, allowing me to adjust to my new job with peace of mind that my pupper was having fun and in good hands. I will be using their services again!!!☺️ Upon pick up my dog had a full belly, a wagging tail, and was ready to go home and relax. 10/10 experience????”

“Dexter enjoyed his time with Sydney and her beagle. He showed no hesitancy when I dropped him off each morning, so I know he was treated well. I enjoyed Sydney's messages and pictures to me of Dexter.”

“Ginny had a great time at Sean’s house! It was hot today so he kept her inside and she was good and tired when she got home. She even made me a painting which Sean sent a video of. We will definitely book again!”

“Simon was great! My baby had so much fun with him. He replied super quickly and agreed to take care of her on short notice. He also sent pictures, which was a huge relief for me and gave me peace of mind knowing she was happy. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave! On the second day of daycare, she jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. I’ll definitely book with him again!”

About: I care for ONE pet family at a time, giving your fur kiddos undivided attention! I work from home and have a 6 ft privacy fenced in yard. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and loved while you’re away. A mutual stress relief, hanging with your pet is the best part of my day! I work from home full time, and provide frequent potty and sunshine breaks. I am available between 745am - 830pm for pickups and drop offs. My home is designed with pets in mind — safe, calm, and full of love. I live in a clean, cozy space where cats and pups can explore, nap, and get comfy. I’m mindful of every detail, from secure doors and windows to quiet corners for shy or senior pets. My own two friendly, well-behaved cats are used to sharing their space and love making new friends, but I can easily provide separation if your pet prefers solo time. I follow feeding and medication schedules carefully and keep a close eye on every guest’s comfort and well-being. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and cared for as if they were my own.

“Monty had a great time as always.”
