Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!

Erica was amazing! We are so grateful to have found someone who took such great care of our Ollie. She was communicative, sent regular updates, and even pictures along to let us know how things were going. I highly recommend using Erica for pet sitting.

Jessica watched our two golden retrievers for us at our house for the weekend, and she did a great job! The boys looked so happy in all the photos she sent and she helped bring in some unexpected packages for us as well. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to watch your pets and your home.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8, having owned rottweilers and a pug. I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, ages, and energy level. I am a student at Ohio State looking to make a couple extra bucks while hanging out with cute dogs! I am available weekends and weekdays after 1 PM I give dogs lots of attention through playtime, a walk, brushing them, or just laying with them. I can follow specific instructions with feeding, bathroom breaks, or routines they have. Can also send updates or photos if wanted/needed.

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

About: I have had at least a decade of experience with dogs, cats, and many other animals. I have dogsat, dogwalked, and worked as a veterinary technician's assistant in the past. I am graduating with my bachelor's in animal science from the Ohio State University this May, and I will be continuing my education at Ohio State's College of Veterinary Medicine. I have plenty of experience handling dogs and cats of all health, dietary, and temperament needs. I am currently available at most times! I prefer to work on weekdays rather than weekends, but both are fine. I would rather work in the afternoon but mornings work as well. I can feed, give water, play with, walk, pet, give medicine, pick up after, and basically take care of the animal as much as possible. I will sleep over if needed and can come over for potty breaks. I am a short female, so I may not be able to walk a big dog if it runs/pulls a lot.

Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️

About: I have spent countless hours being around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and ages. I have owned three dogs of various breeds since they were puppies. I have also cared for pets while friends, family, and coworkers were on vacation, including cats. I am more than happy to provide care, exercise, and attention to help pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I currently am working full-time, consisting of three twelve hour shifts a week. The rest of my days are wide open and are filled with many outdoor walks. I am a post-graduate student who loves to stay busy and would be more than happy to fill my time with pet care. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record in case of any emergency. I also have spent time caring for pets with particular medical needs and am more than accomdating to each individual care plan.

I count on Megan's loving care for my 2 big dogs and 2 cats whenever I go away. She is attentive and always sends photos to keep me aware that all is well. I so appreciate the assurance that my fur babies are in excellent hands when I'm not there.

Sandra is the very best. We were gone 23 days and Sandra stayed with my 18 year old cat and gave her exemplary care. We were out of the country and she sent us updates and pictures every 2 days. I would not consider using anyone else. Thank you Sandra you absolutely exceeded my expectations. ❤️

Chelsea was fantastic housesitting! This was the first time leaving my dog with a non-family member for a week, and Chelsea did a great job. She provided updates at least twice a day with pictures, made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime even with tons of rain during the week, and always made sure to raise even the slightest concern - which lets me know she always had his best interest at the top of mind. I’ll definitely be asking her for future house/pet sitting needs!
