House Sitting North Linden

“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”

“Kristen provides excellent house + pet sitting service!!! She was willing to execute a meet and greet which went swimmingly. She sent lots of pet pics/videos with commentary with the status of their stay. We had great peace of mind during a week long trip. They are at the top of our Rover list.”

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

“Miriam did a great job housesitting for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She watered flowers and put the trash out as well as the car she gave to my kitty. She also contacted me when issues came up regarding the house, which I greatly appreciate appreciated.”

“Could not recommend Kaylynn more! She stayed at our home for a week and took exceptional care of our dogs (and house) while we were out of town. Her communication was great and we would not hesitate to use her in the future!”

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my unique blend of lifelong pet ownership, formal training, and the capability to handle pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and small animals since birth, which has given me an intuitive understanding of animal body language and care. Beyond casual pet ownership, I spent seven years as an active 4-H member, which instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, structure, and professional responsibility when it comes to animal management. At 250 pounds, I possess the physical strength and confidence required to safely handle larger or giant breeds that tend to pull on leashes, an area where many campus sitters struggle. Whether you have a tiny cat requiring gentle, patient drop-in visits, a senior dog needing a calm routine, or a massive breed that needs a firm and confident handler, my extensive 4-H background ensures your pet will be kept safe, structured, and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because my schedule allows me to offer dedicated, high-quality care exactly when pet parents need it most. From Monday through Friday, I have large blocks of free time between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM (except Thursdays), which is the absolute peak window for mid-day dog walks and drop-in visits around the Ohio State University campus and surrounding neighborhoods. For overnight house sitting, I focus entirely on an alternating weekend schedule. Every other weekend, my schedule is completely clear of academic commitments. On these working weekends, my girlfriend visits me from out of town, allowing us to team up and provide constant companionship, regular updates, and double the care for your pet. I actively manage my calendar a month in advance, ensuring that any booking I accept receives my full, structured commitment. Safety, structure, and respect are my top priorities when caring for a pet in a client's home. Because I have seven years of formal training through 4-H and have raised dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life, I know how to establish a calm, trusted bond with a pet while maintaining a secure environment. When house sitting, I strictly adhere to the owner's established routines, feeding schedules, and household rules to minimize any anxiety the pet might feel while their family is away. At 250 pounds, I am highly confident in my physical ability to maintain complete leash control on walks, even with large or giant breeds that tend to pull, ensuring every outdoor trip is safe and controlled. I am also extremely detail-oriented when it comes to home security. I make sure all doors and gates are securely locked, respect the client's privacy and property completely, and never allow unauthorized guests into the home without explicit, upfront permission. Whether I am handling a delicate cat drop-in or a weekend house sitting gig with a massive breed, pet parents can expect transparent communication, regular photo updates, and a safe, clean environment.

“Megan house sat for my 2 big dogs and 2 cats for 6 days while we went away. She kept us updated with photos at least once a day and responded immediately to any and all concerns. I can’t say enough about the love and care she gave to my boys. Highly recommend Megan for any and all pet care needs!”

“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”

About: I’m an experienced and caring pet owner and sitter who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I had my own dog for 15 years, from puppyhood through his senior years, and have experience with both puppy training and senior care. I’ve also fostered, trained, and rehomed a rescued dog and regularly pet-sat for friends’ cats. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll care for your pets as I would my own—with plenty of attention, patience, and love. I am currently doing contract work that allows me to provide full-time care when I'm not traveling for work. This allows me to be available most weekends. I am very conscientious about an animal's safety in the home - especially when it comes to access with the outside. For dogs, I ensure that they are leashed before we go outside into an unfenced area. For cats, I ensure that I make myself wide enough that they can't slip out when I enter and exit homes. Keeping animals safe is my number one priority.

“Emily was great! She updated me at least once a day and sent pics of my pup, who definitely seemed happy! My home was also kept in excellent condition!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience with a range of pet sitting needs and always try to cater to your needs. I work full time throughout the week but am available early morning and then mid-afternoon through evenings. My weekends are very available. Other than my work hours of about 8-4, I will cater my schedule to your pets needs. I will always listen to you on what you and your pet need. I take care of your pet and your home as if it’s my own to make sure everything is safe, clean, and cared for properly.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them! I’ve had dogs my whole life and am currently a proud cat stepdad. I’ll provide your pet with attentive, personalized care and a comfortable, welcoming stay while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind until you’re back together. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility to walk or plays with your pet. I am currently available around the clock to board. I have a fenced in yard, and would also be able to take dogs outside on a leash with full supervision. I am open to board at my house, or house sit if preferred.

“Bishop is the perfect person to care for your four legged baby. Our boy had so much fun with him and kept looking around the house afterward hoping to find him around. That’s the best feeling when you have to leave your baby for a while.”
