“Kristie has been doing drop in visits to let my 2 pups out while I’m working. She is responsive, communicates well and keeps me updated. She was on time. Let’s know ahead of time if she won’t be available so I have time to plan. I will be a repeat customer.”

“Stephanie was beyond amazing -- every day she was on-time or early, spent tons of time loving my kitties, and went out of her way to clean even when not asked to so that when we came home from a long trip, it wouldn't be stressful. Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”

About: I have helped care for multiple dogs of varying sizes, ages, and breeds. One of my three current dogs is a female Great Dane that I have helped raise since she was just 2 months old! Another one of my current dogs is 12 years old, pushing 13, so I have a lot of experience taking care of elderly animals. In fact, I do not think there has ever been a point in which I have not had a pet in my life! I have three days that are full of classes during the week, as well as a part time job that sends my schedule out weekly. Generally, I can pet sit on weekends, Mondays in the afternoon, and some Fridays. I have the entirety of Ohio State’s campus to explore, as well as some local public parks! While sitting in the past, I have tried to stick to one room as to not invade privacy or let the pet get out of my sight.
“Hannah was great! This was my first time using rover and she helped walk me through it. Leaving your home and your dog with a stranger is definitely an intimidating thing, but with all of Hannah’s communication I felt confident that it would could go well. I would recommend her to anyone! She was so nice and my dog Aussie seemed to have an amazing time.”

“Chloe did an amazing job while I was out of town for work. Quick and easy communication put me at ease and the pupdate photos showed both of our docs enjoyed Chloe and we're well cared for. Will definitely work with Chloe in the future and highly recommend you do as well.”


“Mary Beth unfortunately wasn’t available so she recommended her daughter. We met both of them and really liked them. Her daughter did an excellent job. Our Josie was happy and cared for the couple days we were gone. We will definitely keep both Mary Beth and her daughter in mind for all of our travel/vacation pet care needs in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8, had a dog, Hamster, now I have a Reptile (Bearded dragon), A Dog Labrador retriever! Your pets will be taken care of well!! I’ve working full time with flexible hours. I will make sure to fit your schedule with mine. Your pets are my top priority. I love animals.

“Autumn was great while watching our two cats. She did all her check ins on time and sent us the best pictures and updates every time. Would highly recommend☺️”

About: 20+ years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs in home environments. Experienced with multi-pet households, senior pet care, kitten/puppy routines, enrichment play, litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and administering medications. Known for patience, attentiveness, and creating low-stress, comforting environments for pets while owners are away. I am currently in the process of finishing my degree. I have a lot of extra time and I love animals so I figured I would give this a shot. I attend college online so I can travel with my schooling. I provide consistent, attentive care in both settings by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, play, and medication if needed. In my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with supervision, safe spaces, enrichment activities, and structured routines that reduce stress and encourage comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines exactly as instructed, ensuring pets feel secure in their familiar environment while keeping everything clean, organized, and updated. Across both, I focus on reading behavior, providing companionship, and making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had a lot of experience with many types of dogs, from family to strangers I really just love animals. I’m very reliable and don’t really want your pet going without what it needs! I currently have a part time job so I have plenty of time in my schedule to walk or check in on your cut pets. I have one dog, daisy, she is an indoor dog who is very spoiled but also very well taken care of. Trust me she has more toys than she needs :)
“My 2 kitties were taken great care of by Brooke. She spent quality time with each cat and provided the care that they both needed, including dispensing meds to one cat. They were loved and she sent good communication often as well as photos. Very reliable.”

About: I have had dogs as a family pet since 2008. Currently have 2 dogs who are very loved and spoiled to death 😊 I started off dog sitting for a family member in 2019 with a senior dog, and then a puppy a couple years later. I have also house/pet sit for a family friend for the past few years as well. They have 4 dogs (ranging from 15 lbs to 100+ lbs) and 3 cats. I have a good rapport with both groups and can provide references if needed! I also have experience with sitting a 1 cat household as well for one of my friends. In my household, my sisters and I have potty-trained and skill-trained every one of our family pets (we have had 4 now). I have experience with giving pets medications as they need following the owner’s specific instructions. Lastly, I have walked dogs of all kinds of sizes (miniature pinscher all the way to a Great Pyrenees). I look forward to helping you with your pet needs!! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm. I work at a pretty lenient place that gives me lunch breaks up to an hour and a half long, so in the past if a pet I have watched needs a potty break midday, I can go back on my lunch break to do so. I have availability after getting off from this job as well, so I can accommodate to late nights as well. I don’t work weekends there so I have pretty much open availability every weekend. 😊 I currently live at home with my parents and sisters, so I do not offer pet sitting at my home at this time. I have pet sat for people in different home styles (apartment, single-level home with small yard, two-story home with big yard). I have always followed every owner’s instructions and rules to a T. Every owner has loved my care with their pets and continues to put their trust in me to this day. I have several references that I can provide if needed!
“Liz does great! Lots of pictures. I have full confidence in her. I have used her for a week and will keep using her. She took her time to get to know my dog and her needs. I know my pup is in good hands!”
