Anna is prompt and reliable! I have an energetic puppy who needs exercise and I feel so relieved knowing she had a fun walk and a chance to go potty while I’m at work. Anna always keeps me updated with pictures and notes from the walk, rain or shine. I know she’s in safe hands!

Dylan always does an amazing job I can tell he really cares about my pups and is very flexible with quick responses. Had quite a few people I have been to and no one has cared as much as well as taken great care of my dogs when I’m away. Full trust and reassurance in his services.

About: Pet care is what I do! At your service anytime, day or night. Willing to negotiate fees for special needs and circumstances. I have over three and a half years of doggie daycare work experience, and have been pet sitting part time for over six years. It’s been my pleasure to know, care for, and live with more species and age ranges of animals than I can count, including puppies and senior dogs and cats. Animals have been ruling my life for the better part of a decade. Feeding, playing with and administering medication to dogs and cats is what everything revolves around in my world. I like to walk any dogs I’m watching at least twice a day, but everything else, feeding times, medicine, treats etc. is up to the client.

About: I grew up in a household that always had pets—dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, and even a pig! In addition to helping take care of these animals, in the last couple of years, I started to watch the pets of friends and family. I have experience and am comfortable with many sizes and ages of animals. I'm very adaptable to the lifestyle of certain pets, and I'm happy to make them happy! I'm currently working on applications to law school for next fall (2026) and staying at home while I do so. My parents have three dogs that I help take care of at home, but my schedule is consistently flexible, and I can make time for your pet at any point during the day or night. I don't believe my work is satisfactory unless the pets are satisfied! For example, if your dog likes to go on long walks in the early mornings, I will happily provide that service. I will stick to your pet's routine, feeding them at the correct time of day, giving them medicine if they need it, and playing with them for however long they want to play.

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!

Sean is absolutely wonderful, and I will definitely be using him again to help with my 175lb great dane. I have never used Rover and was nervous about using it given my dog’s size/needs, but that did not matter for Sean. He is punctual and provides great care regardless of the size! A+ rating from me!

About: - 10+ years exposure to dogs/dog ownership - Puppy fostering/ownership experience - Familar with medications/elder dogs - Certified service animal trainer for 2+ years - Will provide clear, consistent updates with photos - Respectful of routines and boundaries - I naturally structure my day around walks, feeding times, and play - Morning and evening routines make it easy to stay consistent - I enjoy getting outside daily for walks and fresh air - Caring for dogs fits seamlessly into my weekly schedule, not as an add-on I care for dogs in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During each drop-in, I follow your routine closely—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m attentive to behavior changes, clean up after meals or accidents, and always make sure your dog is safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 and we fostered dogs for 10 years. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their fur babies while they go on vacation or are gone extended periods of time. I’m currently a senior college student, working part time but will easily be able to make time to care for and play with your pets. I can easily crate your dog if needed and I am very experienced in handling big dogs and small dogs on a leash if needed.

I am so thankful to have found Aaron! Right off the bat he is extremely kind, flexible, and professional when it comes to figuring out you and your pets needs. He emphasizes keeping your pet in their routine as much as possible which is much appreciated. My very shy dog warmed up to him quickly as he spent time with her to make her feel comfortable! I loved receiving pictures and videos of my dog during his visit, which made me feel relieved that my dog was getting treated with above and beyond care. Your pet will be in wonderful hands with Aaron. Will be booking him regularly! Thank you so much Aaron we are so happy to have found you!
