“This was our second time booking with Heather! She is very responsive and sends great pictures with funny commentary :) She always asks if she is unsure about something. We will be booking with her again in the future!”

“My kitties had great visits with Merri! I contacted her with very short notice but everything worked out smoothly and wonderfully. I will definitely contact her again in the future and recommend her to anyone with four-footers - both cats (I have four) and dogs!”

“Leann is amazing. She is prompt, caring, and thorough. My cat is well taken care for if it’s just a day to even a couple of weeks. Leann scoops the litter box almost daily, plays and snuggles with my cat, makes sure to refill the water or food feeder, and especially knows how to administer oral medication for my little fur baby. Bonus points too for amazing photos. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover. Helaina did an exceptional job! She had excellent communication before the visit, during and after. She sent pics and videos of my Dog Sage and she went above and beyond! I would schedule with her again for sure! Nice job!”

“I’m a repeat customer of Abby. Somehow she’s able to capture the cutest photos of my cat Tobi that I never could. Tobi trusted Abby quickly. You know your pet will be in good hands with her. Thanks Abby!”

“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

“Anna did a great job taking care of our pup! She is organized and detail-oriented. She showed up to the meet-and-greet ready to take notes and asked lots of questions. Her professionalism showed that she takes dog sitting seriously and genuinely cares about the pet’s needs.”

“Vanessa came to the rescue last min and really did a great job. I can tell my pets are completely comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks again!”

“Ioana did a great job of checking in on my cat and messaging if there were any concerns while checking on her. I would be happy to rebook with her again!”

About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I uber full time so I’m very flexible with your needs. If your cat needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. Cats are beautiful, kind and sweet, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.
“JoVonna took such great care of our boy while we were out of town. We could rest so much easier knowing someone had checked on him and gave him love.”

“Victoria is a gem!! She watched our 2 dogs and cat on our last vacation. She was very attentive to the animals and very communicative to us. She was great and would definitely use again!”

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life - dogs, cats, rats, fish specifically. As a teen and adult, I’ve helped friends care for their dogs and cats when out of town or at a long event. I’ve had my cat Torts for around 9 years of my adult life and I adore him. He is very sensitive, can communicate with nips, and has dealt with some pain related to IBD. He is no longer on medication, but prednisone 2x/day was part of his routine for 2-3 years (along with pumpkin and probiotics). With patience and compassion, I worked hard to establish a care routine that minimized his stress over taking his meds. I understand the peace of mind an attentive and mindful pet sitter/walker can bring, and I would ensure your pet is cared for like it was my own. I work a typical 9-5 Monday through Friday, and can be flexible with enough planning. I work remotely 2-3 days a week. Can likely accommodate daily/weekly needs or something less frequent. My kitty is a sensitive boy and I respect his wishes to not have any four-legged guests in our home. BUT I would be happy to come to yours.
About: I have always loved pets, especially dogs. When I was younger, probably 5th grade my family got a senior maltipoo who was great! He had a heart condition and was partially blind and deaf when we got him. He was so silly and quirky and was a great short term addition to our family. Recently I have lived and helped take care of previous college roommates’ cats and shared responsibility of a cat last year with my roommates. I occasionally help out my close friend with her 2 older dogs (one with lots of energy like a puppy!) when she is out of town. Hi I’m Sheridan! A single 23 year old with extra time on my hands and looking to make a bit of extra money. I am currently attending graduate school at OSU for Audiology. I also work contingently at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I’m hoping to supplement caring for pets outside of my student responsibilities while still providing the best care possible for all the pets I interact with! I am willing and able to care for your pet(s)’ many needs and look forward to providing them with as much love as they need/tolerate. I am very attentive and detail oriented and will work with you to ensure that your needs are met for your pet.
“Christine took care of my complicated brood and did a fantastic job doing so. It was relatively last minute and I am grateful for her help. I would definitely choose her again.”

“Kelly was super responsive when I had to cancel a day last minute and thankfully fed the stray that’s been on our porch! Will use her again! Thankful to her for sure!”
“Super responsive, follows all instructions, does meet and greets, addresses any concerns and tailors care to dog’s needs. Super flexible as well. Thank you for taking care of Doug!”
