Catherine watched my pup for 5 days while I was out of town. She showed up on time, made sure Nash had food & water, and even put a show on for him when she left.

About: I grew up on a farm and have always had dogs and cats of my own, so I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I genuinely enjoy working with pets and understand the importance of providing them with loving, attentive care. If chosen to watch your pets, I will treat them with the same kindness, patience, and care that I give my own animals! I am an internship student working full time at Inova children’s hospital throughout the week. However I will have evening and weekend availabilities for dog walks! With my own pets, I enjoy taking them for walks, along with allowing them time to play with their dog toys. When I have dog sat in the past for others I have made sure to include these routines as well.

About: I grew up with a large golden retriever and small mixed terrier for 10+ years until I went to college. I have just graduated college. I am not able to get a pet of my own yet, but I would love to help you with yours. I LOVE dogs. I have a huge heart and lots of patience for any breed. (Updated: May/June 2026) I am a teacher, so I have summers completely off, and I get home early on school days. I am already a very active person who goes outside to run or walk every day, so adding in your dog is perfect and enjoyable for both of us! I typically go for a run/workout for about 2 hours in the morning in the summers, but am free to be with your dog the rest of the day (Updated: May/June 2026) Located in New Albany/Westerville area. While I live in an apartment, we have 2 dog parks, lots of open grass, and I am always looking for an excuse to go to the 6 minute drive park with a dog walking trail near me or one near you. Your pet would love it! I am willing to do a meet & greet ahead of time. For safety reasons, I am only willing to care for 1 dog (or 2 from the same family) at a time. I am happy to send several updates/photos per day as you desire to confirm your pet’s health and happiness.

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!

About: I’m a nurse that loves to be around animals on my days off. Playing and taking care of animals just brings so much joy. I just love all fur babies :) I am a nurse so my schedule is not consistent but since I have four days off a week, I can try and be flexible! Animals like to be sneaky so I make sure they can’t sneak out the door when I open it and don’t get stuck in any cabinets inside

About: I’ve had pets since I was 5! After college I adopted my own dog who passed away at 15. I’ve pet sit for various friends and family members and have experience with dogs 6 pounds to 80! I currently teach yoga, am in graduate school, and freelancing. My schedule is rather flexible which allows me to add this into my daily schedule. At this time, I’m not inviting pets into my home. If I have regular clients whose pets I get to know, I will be open to in the future. Since I have a cat, I want to ensure the comfortability of both pets.

Our dog Nessa can take a minute to warm up to new people, but seemed to like Grace from the start. When they got back from their 1st walk she had the zoomies all around the living room! Looking forward to working with Grace on our next overnight trip!

About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

Jessica, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such amazing care of our sweet Oliver. We truly don’t know what we would have done without you — we had to leave at the very last minute, and you absolutely saved us. Oliver is usually very shy and cautious with new people, but somehow you worked magic and won his little heart right away. Knowing he was with you gave us so much peace of mind. He was not just taken care of — he was loved. We are beyond grateful to you and would trust you with Oliver again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything 🤍🐶

My dog is very shy and apprehensive of new people and Elizabeth has been so great with her! From the very beginning, my dog responded well to Elizabeth’s friendly and gentle personality and my dog does great on walks with her. Elizabeth is timely and is very good at communication with me about her walks with my dog. Highly recommend!
