“Erica took really good care of our animals while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updated us daily. She also did an amazing job on giving our cat his medications. Would recommend and book again.”

“Sheridan helped me last minute when my previous sitter had to cancel on me. She responded promptly, was attentive, and gave great updates. I’m extremely appreciative of her help!”

“Kristin was the absolute best! She took such great care of Benji, made sure he had everything he needed, and even sent me picture updates throughout the stay! I came back home to a very VERY happy pup :)”

“Kelly did such a wonderful job watching our dog! He seemed so happy when we got back from our trip. She sent lots of cute pictures and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Ryn did an incredible dog sitting our yorkie/schnauzer mix who has pretty high separation anxiety. Louie eventually warmed up to her and she kept in contact with updates, easing any worries I had while traveling.”

“Megan was very communicative and our dogs loved her. She provided updates daily, left the house near, and took care of our dogs the same way we do. I highly recommend Megan.”

“Max was overall a great sitter for our 2 pittys. He was responsive to messages and sent photos. He also watered the plants, took out the recycling, and the kitchen was cleaner than I left it. He went out of his way to be helpful and the dogs seemed well cared for while we were away! We already have him booked for another sit in May!”

“Helaina is truly special and I could not be more grateful for how she cared for my dogs. I only want someone to treat my dogs like her own, and I feel Helaina truly did that. She is kind and engaged with my dogs, observant and smart, and so fun and hands on. Highly highly recommend! Thank you Helaina you’re the very best!”

About: When I was little I had a neighborhood dog walking business, since then I’ve continued to look after my friends and family pets. Unfortunately I don’t have any pets of my own but I know how to take care of them, follow directions and make sure your furry friend is happy. I currently work from home Thursdays and Fridays so I’ll be available for long weekends! Monday-Wednesday I work 7-3 so I’ll be off early enough to give a walk before and after dinner! I like to go on long walks with dogs and really tire them out before heading back home. My biggest goal is to give them the attention and love they need when you’re. I will follow feeding instructions because a routine is very important.

“Doug was an excellent communicator. He left our house clean and our dog happy. He sent us photos and updates, and quickly responded to my texts. He even offered to stop back over when we were running behind.”

“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. She was accommodating with everything I asked of her and sent us regular updates and photos of the pups! I very much appreciate how thoughtful and communicative she was with our dogs. Will definitely be booking with her again”

“Kimberlee was incredible! She house sat our 60 lb black lab for a long weekend. She sent us 10+ photos and videos per day and was extremely attentive and responsive. My sweet dog, who is overly anxious, was well taken care of and loved like she was Kimberlee’s own dog. I highly recommend and we can’t wait to book Kimberlee again!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Aaron, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog enthusiast who grew up on a farm surrounded by Jack Russells and Golden Retrievers. I’m well-versed in caring for both small and large breeds, and I bring that experience, along with my WVU degree in Animal & Nutritional Science and my certification in service dog handling, to every pet I meet. I’m new to the Columbus, OH area and excited to make a difference—one paw print at a time! I love keeping pet parents in the loop, so you can expect plenty of fun photos and updates while your furry friend is in my care. Some fun facts about me: I’m a huge Dolly Parton fan, I never miss a chance to snap a cute moment on camera, and yes… I’m the kind of person who puts up the Christmas tree on November 1st! If you’re looking for a responsible, loving, and slightly festive pet sitter who treats your pets like family, I’d love to meet you and your paw-tastic friend! I’m a full-time Monday–Friday property manager in the heart of Italian Village, Columbus, OH, with a typical 9–5 schedule. That said, I’m very flexible when it comes to checking in on pets during the day—I can work around specific times that fit your needs. On weekends, I generally have a free schedule, so I’m happy to step in for walks, visits, or extended care. I can also accommodate early mornings, late nights, or any special hours you may require. Your pets’ routine and comfort are always my priority! My top priority is making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved, while also giving you peace of mind. I’m trained to notice and prevent any signs of stress, sadness, or anxiety, so your furry friend can relax and enjoy their time with me. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine and your preferred style of care, and I make sure to keep their day as close to normal as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel like nothing has changed—just extra cuddles, playtime, and attention!
“Ellie is an absolute pleasure. She's exceptionally polite and very efficient with her time. She stayed with my pup and gave her plenty of walks, lots of time and care and I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She was pleasant from the meet n greet all the way to the end. She asked great questions to ensure she knew as much as she could including any of homesitting needs before staying at my home. She also sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I was so comfortable with her and her communication was tip top! If anyone is need of a sitter, Ellie is your person, hands down! BOOK HER NOW!!!!”

“Cecelia did a great job taking care of my senior dog for a week. She stayed at my house and I could tell she took great care of both my dog and my house. My dog required medication and a special fresh food diet. That was not a problem for Cecelia. Thank you!”

“Absolutely love! Olivia is the very best sitter we’ve ever had. She’s all in! Chloe loved being with Olivia. She took excellent care of Chloe. She fed and gave her medication and walked and played with Chloe. Will definitely book Olivia again!! Thanks for your great care!”

“Rachael did an excellent job house sitting/watching our two boys (cats)! She was a fantastic communicator and sent us lot of pictures. Our apartment was spotless when we returned and our cats warmed right up to her. We will definitely rebook!”

“Patty did an outstanding job sitting with my dogs! It was my first time to leave them since moving to Columbus, but there was no need for concern. She was fantastic with them. Definitely will keep her in mind for the future!”
