“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.”

“My pitty was very comfortable with Maggie and her sweet dog Willow while dog sitting in my house for 4 nights. I received daily photos and updates of their fun walks and snuggle time on the couch. We will definitely be using Maggie again in the future! She is a dog lover through and through. Plus, the house was spotless upon my return.”


About: I've been dog sitting, dog walking and house sitting since I was in High School. Now, as an adult I want to help out more. Pet care fits perfectly within my college schedule. As classes give me a break to be able to help walk, feed or snuggle your pet. I want to be able to help recreate the normal routine your pet has as much as possible. I feel like taking an animal out of their routine sometimes affects them more than we think.
“Danielle provided excellent care for our two pups and our kitty. She communicated effectively and paid great attention to pet care instructions. She was always on time and accountable. In addition to taking care of the pets, Danielle also looked after our home. We truly appreciate her care.”

“Kati took such wonderful care of my dog, Benji! From the start, I felt completely at ease, and it was clear that Benji did too. One of the things I appreciated most was Kati’s communication. She sent regular checkins along with the most adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the photos that Benji was relaxed, having fun, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Kati provided and would absolutely trust her with Benji again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”

“Tracey was wonderful. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and videos of both our 5 month old puppy and cat. She was very communicative throughout the entire process. Would recommend!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since was 12! I used to check dogs in the neighborhood! I’ve even stayed at a house for two weeks taking care of two dogs one extremely geriatric. I am good with giving medication to dogs, getting them a daily walk, making sure they have frequent potty breaks, and a whole lot of belly rubs!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog every day. I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, medication, exercise, and routines. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping care for my own pets, taking on a larger role in their daily routines about six years ago. Over the past two years, I’ve also provided reliable pet and house sitting for family and friends. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and pet transportation. I have experience with both small and large dogs (growing up with a miniature sheltie and a black lab)! As the families I’ve provided pet care services for have grown, I also have gained experience providing care for senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently working part-time (7-3 Friday through Sunday), so I have a free schedule during the week to take care of your pets while you’re at work or away! I also am available afternoons Friday-Sunday for walks and check ins. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I am attentive to detailed instruction and preferences, and take safety very seriously. I am mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets during walks or outdoors, and making sure their (and your) space stays clean and safe. I respect your home just as much as your pet, and I make sure to communicate regularly with updates for your peace of mind.
“Khalia watched our three dogs over thanksgiving and she did an amazing job! They were so well taken care of and loved. We would recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“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.”

“Amy did an excellent job staying at our home for nine nights to care for our large dog Joey and our cat Quincy. She sent daily updates about each animal and responded quickly to any communication from us. Our animals seemed happy when we returned and our home was neat and clean. We highly recommend Amy!”

“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”

“We have 5 dogs, our babies. They were happy and well taken care of. Janeesa sent us regular photos and videos of them which really made me feel good knowing they were happy. I highly recommend.”

“Jennifer is so sweet and my boys loved her. She took the time to read all my notes and kept us informed on how they were and what they did together. She pays attention to the little details. The dogs warmed up to her pretty quickly and I know they miss her! I hope she will be available for us again!”

About: I have been watching dogs since I was a kid. Starting in elementary school I would watch an adult and senior dog, Frankie and Bianca, for my neighbor. What started as just feeding, walks, and playtime grew to include cleaning up after them and handling medications and minor, non-medical, palliative care. As an adult I petsit regularly for friends and family. I love playing with all furry friends to ensure their brains stay stimulated! I love snuggling and giving all the pats and attention to cuddly pets, but am always content to just offer a comforting presence to even the most solitude-seeking animals. A close friend had a horrible experience with boarding her cat once which really motivated me to enter the pet-sitting space. I know how important and deserving of love and respect all animals are, so I can promise I would care for your pets as if they were my own! I am based in Northwest Columbus but work in Gahanna, so depending on where you live I can come by for 2/3 potty breaks for your pet(s)! My weekends are open for animal time as well! If you leave trash bags, broom, dustpan, paper towels/rags, and pet cleaner in an easy to find place I can ensure your home will be found in the same good condition you leave it in! I change diapers at work so I am not easily grossed out. Whether it is scooping poop or cleaning hairballs, I got it covered!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Northwest is $47

Laci stayed with our two dogs for 10 days and did an incredible job with them. She stayed over the 4th of July weekend and took excellent care of our dog who is very scared of fireworks. She kept her calm and distracted, and followed our instructions to supplement her normal medication schedule. (Our dog has Addison's Disease and her stress levels need to be kept low and managed through medications.) I trust Laci 110% with our pets and our home. She is wonderful.

Wow! Sophie was responsive, responsible, and so so kind. We have a pup who was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness that we are still trying to figure out. Sophie was able to jump right in so we could still go on our long-planned vacation. I was nervous about leaving our pup with another person, but WOW! Sophie kept me updated while still allowing me to have time away. She was absolutely wonderful with our pup. It feels like a relief to know that there are people like Sophie who will love your pup and care for them as much as you do!

Gabby was so great with my girl! I had never used a dog sitter I didn’t previously know before so I was a bit nervous but Gabby was great. She kept me updated with pictures and even let me know when my little girl chewed up something of hers and she called medvet. My girl was fine but I appreciated she took the initiative to call and check and let me know. I’ll be rebooking!

Hallie was the perfect fit for our pets and home. The meet and greet allowed Vanna and Scout to be comfortable with a new person to care for them and we came home to relaxed and happy fur babies! Hallie was a perfect communicator- photos, questions, updates were all very comforting as we were away. She has a relaxed demeanor that I know Vanna and Scout appreciated!

Kaylee was awesome! Really came through for us and our pets. It was a last minute request but Kaylee accepted without hesitation and took great care of our home as well as our pets! We really appreciate it. We will definitely use services again in the future and I highly recommend.
