“Ashely was phenomenal in all ways. She helped me when I was in a tough spot with a last minute booking over the holiday. She took fantastic care of my very scared Chihuahua and helped her to feel comfortable in a new environment very quickly. She kept me updated on everything cute and important and sent lots of photos. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”

“Liliana did an amazing job taking care of our 9 year old dog! She kept us updated with how Molly was doing and sent us daily photos. We will definitely be booking again with her in the future!”

“John and Shannon were wonderful with our dog Oslo. You can tell this family really loves dogs. We got sweet updates throughout our trip. Oslo was happy to see us at the end but we think he would have been happy to stay with his new family - ha! I was particularly struck by their flexibility and resourcefulness when our flight was canceled coming home from our trip. They were gracious, flexible and communicative.”

“Jessica was absolutely amazing. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my baby boy with her and sent so many cute pictures along the way. Highly recommended.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”

“Best dog boarding available in the Columbus area, no doubt about it. Karl takes care of your dogs needs with high attention to detail. He also sends daily updates which is very nice. You can tell he maintains a great relationship with the dogs he watches, my dog is always so tail-happy to visit! Recommended to the paw-most degree!”

“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

“Michelle and Justin were great! They kept me up to date with pictures of Bennie throughout his stay! Bennie usually doesn’t eat well when in an unfamiliar place but he must have been so comfortable he had no issues this time!”


“Brian Thank you for taking care of my Harper. I felt a sense of peace seeingthe daily updates and pictures of him and Mario playing and enjoying each other. It looked like Harper settled in quite well from the photos. Moreover, the flexibility in scheduling drop/pickup times for me during this trip was so appreciated. Thank you again for being so awesome! I would highly recommend”

“Halina and Ted are so kind and loving to our llttle Trey! This was our first booking, we never had a concenr while we were away!! We receive pictures and updates on his time with them. So comforting knowing he is well cared for and receiving many snuggles. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!”

“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”


“Lorie’s home is full of love for the dogs she cares for. Her extensive experience shows, and she provided a caring stay for our anxious rescue pooch. We hope to use Lorie again in the future!”

About: Located in Westerville, OH my wife and I have a large fenced in backyard and screened in patio. I work from home full-time. We also have a 2 year old long-haired mini dachsund, Rocco, who loves to play with other dogs (when he’s not on house security duty). He loves to sniff around the backyard and play fetch for as long as possible and would love a friend to join him. Rocco has consistently attended daycare here in Columbus and is accustomed to dogs of all sizes. My wife and I both grew up with hunting chocolate labs so we are experienced with handling dogs of all sizes. We live next to two large walking paths and have a nice quiet neighborhood where we love to take our dog. We currently have a 2 year old mini dachsund so we already have a nice dog routine between my wife and I! We make sure to have plenty of water available on the main floor, especially during summer months. I take regular breaks throughout my work from home day to toss the ball in the backyard! Pets that stay at our house will have full access to inside, screened in patio and our large fenced in backyard! I work from home full-time so I am with the dogs all day. Dogs can’t fit through the fenced in yard so no worries about escape artists.

“Jennifer is absolutely AMAZING! While I was cruising last week for my birthday, she took incredible care of my dog Cash, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me total peace of mind and showed just how much fun Cash was having. It truly felt like Cash became part of her family — a real home away from home. They played games, spent quality time together, and it was obvious he was loved and well cared for every single day. I’m so grateful to Jen and her family for their warmth, hospitality, and genuine care. Jennifer goes above and beyond to meet (and exceed!) expectations. She’s fantastic with animals, attentive, and incredibly kind. For any dog sitting, boarding, or pet care needs, I highly recommend Jen without hesitation. She is absolutely the best! 🐾💙”

“Jamie was great with our dog, Jack, and was very accommodating and easy for us to work with. At our meet and greet, Jack got so nervous he pooped on her carpet and she didn't bat an eye. Within seconds she had bags and spray at hand and we went on with the meet and greet like nothing ever happened. Her home is lovely and spacious and it is set up for multiple dogs to feel safe and comfortable. She provides crates, dog beds, couches and laps for any visitor to feel right at home. This was precisely the environment we wanted for Jack versus a sterile cage at a boarding facility. Jamie sent lots of pictures and video throughout Jack's stay and, although it made us miss him even more, it gave us so much peace of mind to see him happy and having fun with other dogs and Jamie's family. He got plenty of exercise walking their property on leash and through lots and lots of play. Thank you, Jamie, for hosting our beloved furbaby! Our minds are at ease knowing we have someone we can rely on in the future for our dog sitting needs.”

“Gary and Heather were amazing with our Corgi, Riley! I could tell by the daily pictures they sent that she was comfortable and loved while in their care. We will definitely book with them again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. My life has revolved around caring for my own dogs. I have one senior dog & he'd like to make new friends. I work full time from home. I lost my female in February. I have a senior lab mix who would like company & i would like more interaction with dogs. My husband works part time from home. We have a nice yard for play time. I have a senior lab mix & he was trained on an underground fence . The yard is partially fenced in. It's a great space for play time

“I am so happy I chose Zach to watch my little finfin. He's was very caring, loving, and attentive to my little fin. Zach was very friendly and listened to all my concerns and care instructions. Also, he provided me with continuous updates and pictures of my finfin. He lives in a house with a fenced in back yard, which was a plus. In addition, he has two amazing, loving little dogs that kept my finfin company while I was away! I absolutely recommend Zach to watch your ? dog!”

I had a great experience with Taylor watching my dog, George. She is friendly, communicative, and flexible! George stayed with her for close to 2 weeks while I was traveling, and she really allowed me to feel relaxed and like he was in great hands while I was away. I would recommend Taylor to anyone!

Zachary was absolutely amazing with Coco! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. He provided consistent updates, photos, and made sure we knew Coco was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and Coco came back happy and relaxed. Communication was great, and everything was handled professionally. Highly recommend Zachary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitteR

Jason was awesome. He kept me updated and sent pics everyday, and it looked like Bender was having a great time! Jason was so accommodating with Bender’s hip and back issues; he put runners out over the hardwood and was careful to make sure Bender didn’t overdo it and had help getting around. He’s probably been the best sitter we’ve had on here.
