Tina was as good for me as she was for Tommy! I had a pretty busy, stressful day ahead of me and she took a lot of my problems away by giving me a safe place to leave Tommy where he could play and be kept busy while I got my things taken care of pretty efficiently. Her compassion and kindness will not be forgotten.

About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.

Ashleigh and family took care of our 12 week old Cairn Terrier puppy while we took a day trip to visit family out of town. She seemed instantly at ease with him, her daughters were obviously very good with dogs and we had little doubt our pup would enjoy his "camp" experience. He did and even made friends with their pug. We had been looking for a sitter during the week and gladly would go with Ashleigh if it was easier on the commute. Zero concerns and I highly recommend trying them out.

Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!

Bill and Mary are a great team that took care of our pup and showed him lots of love. We appreciated a "meet and greet" with their dogs and ours to ensure they got along okay. Our pup was able to play very well with their three dogs. From the way he came home tired, he had an awesome time playing with Bill, Mary and the other dogs.

About: I have a two bully breed babies, Paris and Ozzy (Oswald). From one dog momma to another yes ofc your dog can sleep on my furniture! I am a final year ADN-RN student and a PRN Student Nurse outside of class. However, do not let those busy titles fool you I’m very very revolved around my babies and I can be with yours too! I have spent my whole childhood following into adulthood working with a variety of pups with different behaviors/personalities/ and specific needs so I’m convinced I can handle just about anything your pup has to throw at me. I’m definitely not the gal who is ashamed of going out with an extra layer of dog hair to complete my look and I’m certainly not one to pass up a slobbery kiss. We have PLENTY of toys/treats to share and lots of on the go things for walks and playtime at the dog park (don’t worry I have seatbelts for the pups, safety first!) pls reach out to me for any of your fur baby care you might need I’m very flexible as I’m just doing this truthfully for the pleasure of meeting your sweet babies, giving my gal some friends to play with, and some extra money bc lord knows living isn’t cheap as a college student, HA! Don’t feel like holding back on any questions or concerns. I promise I’m very sweet and patient as I have worked with many pups who give me a run for my money but most of the time those are the ones I love having most! I’m very flexible! I have work and school throughout the week ofc, but my schedule is very capable of being attentive to your pet(s) as well as my own. If your pup has any care/daily needs that could potentially run into a concern of yours that you believe I may not have time for don’t be afraid to discuss with me I’m more than willing to work with accommodating to your needs!! My sweet babies Ozzy and Paris are both big fan of outdoor playtime and car rides and they love inviting new friends along for adventures! I am a firm believer in dogs ARE allowed on furniture why would it be fair for them to not also be comfy on the couch or bed ?! I am pretty laid back in my home when it comes to the “pet rules” for the most part. I will treat your pup(s) like my own and ofc send you pictures and videos every time they do something I know I wouldn’t wanna miss out on seeing with my own!

Shannan is excellent at communist and was willing to work with me on drop off and pickup timing, which I really appreciated. Bonus points for having prior experience working at a doggie daycare. Really helped to facilitate a smooth transition for Serena. Best of all was the fact that Serena had a giant smile on her face when I came to pick her up! Thanks so much Shannan!!!

About: I am 23, I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals since I was a baby and have grown up with 20+ dog breeds, I’ve raised and trained Puppies with my mom for years. I have a huge heart for all animals and don’t have any allergies, I do have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 ball python and a decent sized backyard. I give all animals plenty of love, attention and playtime, there is forest and field parks around me so if your dog is good on a leash I can take them there to run around and play, my neighborhood is quiet and calm all the time other than dogs barking few times throughout the day, they will love it here. I’m an animal nerd and know how to care for almost any animal including reptiles, amphibians and bugs! I currently have no job due to my agoraphobia making it very hard to work and have a steady income, I am available all day every day unless I have plans I have a fenced in yard but live in a small house, all of my animals are people and pet friendly so they will not show any aggression towards you or your pets

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

About: I have had animals my entire life so there is never a time where I wasn't around one. I also trust them more than people so therefore, they trust me more than most as well. I am a stay at home mom with 2 under 2 so I am always home and most likely available but I will probably have my children when I do any services on this app. I have 4 cats and 4 dogs of all colors and a variety of personalities so I am used to chaos. I have a fenced yard, pools and toys everywhere for my dogs to run around. My cats have their own room with all the beds and scratching posts they desire. I feed them on a timed schedule but have full water bowls all around the house for them to drink at their leisure all day. I have furniture set up specifically so they can look out windows and there are no rules when it comes to where they can sleep.

About: I treat every dog like family—because that’s how I care for my own! I’ve spent years caring for my dogs and those of friends and family, especially while they were out of town. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra patience and love. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow strolls, or high-energy playtime, I adjust to meet each dog’s unique needs. Your pup will be pampered, safe, and loved—just like they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work part-time as a home health caregiver three days a week. On those days, I have a split schedule—just 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, with a break in between. This gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Outside of those hours, my schedule is very open, allowing me to give your pet the love, attention, and care they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own—loved, pampered, and well cared for. I make sure they have a calm, clean, and secure environment, free of hazards and full of attention. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, from meal times and medication to play and potty breaks. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. With my background as a home health caregiver, being attentive, responsible, and trustworthy is second nature to me—qualities I bring to every pet I care for.

About: I am a dedicated dog enthusiast with more than 13 years of hands-on experience caring for and raising dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to senior care. While my greatest experience has been with Great Danes, I have also spent years raising and caring for Pit Bull Terriers, developing a strong understanding of the unique needs, personalities, and characteristics of both breeds. My experience includes puppy development and socialization, basic obedience training, nutrition and wellness management, daily exercise routines, preventative care, and supporting dogs through adulthood and their senior years. I have cared for aging dogs with mobility challenges, administered medications when needed, and provided the patience, comfort, and attention necessary to maintain their quality of life as they age. Living and working with Great Danes has given me extensive knowledge of giant-breed care, while my experience with Pit Bull Terriers has strengthened my appreciation for intelligent, loyal, and energetic companions. Beyond these breeds, I have a genuine love for dogs of all kinds and enjoy learning about the unique traits and needs that make every breed special. Choosing me to care for your dog also offers the unique benefit of two welcoming locations. In Lancaster, Ohio, dogs enjoy a comfortable, home-based environment where they can relax and receive personalized attention as part of the family. In Pataskala, Ohio, dogs have access to 15 acres of open space for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored to ensure safety. During their stay in Pataskala, dogs can relax alongside me in a cozy, home-like camper, providing a comfortable and secure environment that helps them feel at ease while away from home. My approach to canine care is rooted in compassion, consistency, and respect for each dog's individual personality. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult, or a beloved senior, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment where dogs can thrive and feel like valued members of the family. Your dog's comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. ABOUT ME I'm a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. Because I am home full-time, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and night. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never feel like they're being left alone for long periods. I have three children who have grown up around large-breed dogs their entire lives, including Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers. They understand how to interact respectfully with dogs, are well-mannered around dogs they don't know, and have learned the importance of giving each dog the space and attention they need to feel comfortable and secure. One of the unique benefits of choosing me is the flexibility of two care locations, allowing you to select the environment that best suits your dog's personality and needs: 📍 Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home setting where your dog can enjoy a comfortable family environment, regular routines, and plenty of one-on-one attention. 📍 Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful rural property with 15 acres of open land for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor time is carefully supervised. Dogs stay with me in a cozy camper that serves as a comfortable, home-like space during their visit. Whether your dog prefers the familiarity of a traditional home environment or the adventure of wide-open spaces, the choice is yours. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your dog is treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾💕 When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. As a stay-at-home mom, I am available throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of affection. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches, allowing me to maintain their routine and give them the attention they deserve. With more than 13 years of experience raising and caring for Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers from puppyhood through their senior years, I understand that every dog has unique needs. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior who requires extra patience and care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I strive to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions, and any special requests you provide. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure when away from home, and I work hard to create a calm, positive environment where they can relax and thrive. I offer two care settings, allowing you to choose the environment that best fits your dog's personality: Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home environment ideal for dogs who enjoy a familiar family atmosphere, indoor comfort, and plenty of companionship. Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful property with 15 acres of open space for supervised walks, exploration, and enrichment. While the land is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored. Dogs stay with me in a comfortable, home-like camper, ensuring they always have a safe and cozy place to rest. My three children have been raised around large-breed dogs their entire lives and understand how to respectfully interact with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. They help create a warm, family-oriented environment while respecting each dog's individual comfort level and boundaries. Most importantly, I believe every dog deserves individualized care. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax, I take the time to learn their personality and preferences so they can enjoy a stress-free stay while you're away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention I would give my own.

Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!
