“Morgan is a god send!! She spent the day, night and morning at my downtown Columbus apartment looking after my 16-22 mo. old rescue American Bully while I was away for the weekend and did a perfect job. I didn’t know Morgan personally, but upon our meet and greet, I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog for the first time in her care. She took Shadow on many walks, fed him as I asked, was a fast communicator, kept me in the loop with photos and updates, and was very respectful of my apartment. I came home to a very happy boy!! Thank you Morgan for looking after Shadow on such short notice. Will look to you for your support again! 😊🐶”


“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”


“Ashley took great care of my two dogs for the weekend. She sent pictures and updates and is so sweet and responsive. We will definitely have her back! 😊”


“Ben provided an extended time (12 days) house-sitting both our dogs and home. He was very responsive and responsible. I highly recommend Ben… he's extremely courteous and conscientious.”


“Couldn’t ask for anything better. He was a perfect cat sitter”

“We were so happy to have found Jamie to house sit with our two dogs. Jamie was responsive, responsible, and trustworthy in her caretaking and communication. We felt very at ease leaving our two older dogs with her in our house while we went on a trip. She kept us well updated with pictures and texts and we really appreciated her flexible schedule. We would very much recommend Jamie to watch your animals and look forward to hosting her again in the future.”

About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Zoey did a great job taking care of my Labrador’ retriever while we were out of town. He usually is stresses when we are gone but Zoey made him feel like his family never left.”


“Michael went above and beyond for our pets during an extended stay. He is kind and helpful, and did an amazing job with everything. Communication was prompt and thorough. The pets love him! Highly recommend!”


About: I have watched many dogs and some cats for close to 30 years and my friends competed for the availability of my schedule and calendar. I was able to care for pets while working full-time for all of my clients/friends for close to 30 years. This worked well for all. It depends on what the client needs and wants for their pet. I’ve adapted to the pets homes for the ease of client and pet.

About: Hi my name is Maddie! I'm am such an animal Lover! I've grown up around dogs and been caring for them for a while now. My family breeds golden retrievers so I've had the opportunity to care for newborns all the way up to grown adult dogs. I also evaluate there temperaments to see what homes they would best fit in so I am able to read dog body language well. We currently have 5 dogs (3 adults, 2 teens) and we have raised each on of them. They are so spoiled and loved! I have also taken care of my grandma's cat by myself on numerous occasions and I have gone on some rover visits with my mom for cats. I also have a bunny! He is very independent (or so he thinks😂). He loves to eat our strawberry tops and his veggies. I'm so excited to watch your animals and give them all the love and care I can! I am currently working part time as a house cleaner. For weekdays, I typically work starting at 9am and ending anytime between 1-2pm. Occasionally I will have a day is 12pm to approximately 4-5pm. Saturdays are pretty open. Sundays i go to church and would be happy to stop by before 9am or after 1pm. I would love to do a meet and greet before I watch your pet! This will allow me to understand your expectations (how often they potty, how much to feed them, crate or no crate, etc) and routine (when do they eat, when is bed time, etc) to help keep your pet feeling most comfortable!

“Lauren was great at contacting me and giving updates on the dogs. It was comforting to see what was going on with the dogs while I was gone. I could tell by the way she interacted with the dogs that she is an animal lover.”

Mary H.
“Mary H. has dog sat for us many times. Our dog was protective of our home so she could be somewhat scary when someone first enters. This didn't bother Mary and as soon as Jasmine heard Mary's voice she immediately welcomed her and was excited to see her. Mary often sat outside with Jasmine and took her for long walks even though Jasmine had a large, safe yard to run in. She was very caring and Jasmine was well taken care of. My house was also cleaned when I got home!”
