About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!

About: Due to my active and flexible lifestyle, I am very capable of walking a wide range of dogs from small to large and lazy to hyper. My Australian Shepherd (Covid puppy) does a great job of reminding me to take her on 2-3 walks a day, give her special cuddles and tug on her rope daily. She’s a very smart and trained girl, but just like me, she needs exercise or she’ll get the zoomies! I currently work from home and have good breaks throughout the day, as well as, a flexible schedule giving me the ability to leave my desk and go for a walk or check in on a pup or cat. In my experience walking and taking care of other pets, I’ve been very communicative with what the owner requests. For example, I’ve had opportunities where I’ve had to be very careful about opening the front door because the dog may run out of the house. I’ve also been in positions where I double and triple check if the dog I’m walking is in their harness/leash correctly because they are masterminds when it comes to escaping. If the client is specific with their pet’s needs, I try my best to follow their directions to a tee.

About: Please let me walk your dog! Anyone around me will tell you that I will look for their pets before I tour their home. Needless to say, I enjoy being around animals. I have cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors since 2012. My family first adopted dogs in 2018, and I adopted my first cat of my own in 2022. I have also adopted my own rodents in 2005 and 2017. I have raised, trained, and cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, from toy-sized to giant (horse-sized). I have also cared for cats from kittens to adults, ranging from runts to Maine Coons. I am comfortable giving medications, providing close monitoring, and handling emergencies. I am able to provide the appropriate amount of care, energy, maintenance, and attention for your pet. I have gone through my own journey of improving and optimizing the way I care for animals over the years. Currently, I care for three adult cats: my cat Willow and my roommates’ cats, Juneau and Olympia. I also help care for two dogs at my family’s home—one senior and one young adult. I am a morning person who enjoys being outside, as well as staying cozy indoors and staying up late. I am an open book, so please feel free to ask me any questions. As long as you are willing to communicate openly, I am willing to work with you. :) I am a part-time student at OSU working on my B.S. in Forensic Biology and expect to graduate in May 2026! My Spring 2026 course schedule is currently from 9a–12p M–F, with some variations on certain weekdays. I work full-time at OSU Medical Center as a Med Lab Tech in the Central Processing Lab. My work schedule is from 1p–9:30p M–W and F (4 days/week), and one weekend per month from 7a–3:30p. I am on the fence about changing my work schedule to part-time, so my work schedule may change. I am pretty flexible with my schedule. Just ask, and we can always work something out. My policy is to give me a heads-up, and I also don’t mind considering same-day care—just ask about my availability! I care for any and all animals as if they were my own blood. I have experience with aggressive pets of my own in the past and encounters with aggressive animals. I worked as a lifeguard manager at my home city pool for 4–5 years, so I have extensive previous training in first aid and emergencies for humans. I am comfortable providing medications, close monitoring, and handling emergencies. I have had emergencies with pets of my own, so I know what steps are necessary and when help is needed. I have been able to care for animals with a variety of personalities, from extremely anxious or shy, to very outgoing and energetic. I deeply love and care for animals, and I want them to be able to enjoy their time apart from their owners as comfortably and happily as possible. I share a townhouse with my two friends currently; we each have our own cats. Their cats have not been around dogs before, so at this time I am unable to offer canine care services in my own home. I would have to provide feline care services in my own home on a case-by-case basis, so feel free to inquire!

Thomas was fantastic and I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. He took my dog Fluff on nice long walks throughout the neighborhood, giving him great exercise and time to sniff. They bonded very quickly, which is great given how nervous my dog can be :-)

About: Hello! My name is Zulfa (zoo-fa). I began dog sitting and walking in 2020—as remote work left me feeling isolated, I found joy and connection through caring for others’ dogs. Since then, I’ve built strong relationships with many loyal clients, including a 17-year-old senior pup and an energetic doggy trio. I have experience feeding, giving medicine, and walking dogs of all ages and sizes. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Clients often tell me I take the best photos of their pets, so you’ll also get plenty of great pics while you're away. Multiple pets? No problem—the more, the merrier! I work a hybrid schedule. If I'm working in the office for the day, I'll be sure to spend my lunch break with your pets! I'm available seven days a week—weekends are not a problem! I will spend plenty of quality time with your pets right in the comfort of your home. I always treat your space with care, leaving it just as I found it—clean dishes, bed made, and most importantly, happy pets! I unfortunately am unable to board pets at my place due to restrictions set by my landlord :(

Karl was really great with my dogs, super patient with my shy one as well, and just went above and beyond to give them what they needed in a walk and to leave them comfortable and happy at home afterwards. He always sent me updates and let me know how everything went, which I really appreciated. He's also super flexible, so I am sure I will be booking him again in the future!

Thea is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and was great with my mini doxie. My pup takes a little bit to warm up to strangers and loves to bark but Thea was so patient and so kind. Only took him one meeting to love her!! She’s very communicative and always sends lots of pictures and videos. She cares a lot about her clients, even put my pups jacket on him to make sure he wouldn’t be too cold without me asking her to do so. I booked 4 straight days for walks last minute and she was able to fit me in no problem. I could not have had a better experience and recommend her to anyone looking! Checks all the boxes and I can’t think of anything she didn’t do well 😊

About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own.

Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, patience, and hands-on experience with a wide range of pets. I have worked with energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, as well as senior dogs who require extra gentleness, attention, and care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and adjusting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Beyond basic care, I bring strong communication skills—I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are happy and safe. My background working with animals in different settings has made me adaptable, attentive, and proactive, whether that means reinforcing good habits with puppies, providing comfort for older pets, or managing groups of dogs. I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

Kathryn took very good care of our anxious little dog, Ginger! We expected Ginger to be hesitant to go outside in the snow and cold but Kathryn convinced her to do it, then spent the rest of the time cuddling and giving Ginger belly rubs and making intense eye contact. Gingers favorite pastime! Kathryn is amazing and we’re definitely repeat clients :D

About: Absolutely obsessed with all fur babies! I have two playful French Bulldogs, Alfredo and Maple, so I’m well-versed in picky eaters, stroller rides, medication administration, slobbery kisses, and snuggly (sometimes stinky) cuddles. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. With a fully remote job, I’m home all day to give your pet the care they deserve. My community is fully walkable with sidewalks, dog parks, plenty of great sniff spots, and more! My home does have stairs so if your love bug needs special mobility accommodations, let me know! *SITTING* I do NOT offer overnight pet sitting. I will happily provide multiple check ins throughout the day, including late nights and early mornings! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! With a fully remote job, I’m home all day to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention. My own dogs have set meal times, potty breaks, and play sessions, which makes it easy to incorporate other pets into our schedule. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or medication administration, I make sure every pet gets the individualized care they need. In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, plenty of snuggles, and a routine that includes regular meals, potty breaks, and exercise. My own dogs are friendly and playful, but I can also accommodate dogs who prefer their own space. Crate-trained dogs are welcome to bring their crate for a familiar, comfortable sleeping arrangement. Please note that my bedroom is on the second floor so if your furry buddy likes to have overnight cuddles, the use of stairs or being properly carried is required. For in-home pet care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether that means sticking to their usual schedule or giving extra cuddles while their family is away. For sitting I will not provide overnight care, but will ensure a late night and early morning potty break.
