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!

Lyndsey took excellent care of my two kitties while I was out of state visiting family for Christmas. She was responsive, thorough, and sent updates/pictures during her stay. I booked Lyndsey back in July as I knew sitter availability would be limited as it got closer to the holidays, and I could tell from the meet and greet Lyndsey was a great choice and would do a wonderful job. So thankful for her help!

About: I have had dogs all my life. From relaxed dogs to absolute crazy ones, no matter what they are always my best friend. I have taught all my dogs their basic skills, like sit, heal, and also to sit at crosswalks until I say it’s clear! I have dealt with all different sizes of dogs and ages for dogs, always happy help. I am a college student. So my availability varies from time to time, but I will try my best to get back to you as soon as possible to help with your pet. My dog is apart of my family so I treat her with love and respect! I give her loads of belly rubs as those are her favorite! I walk her everyday typically twice a day. She gets told she’s a pretty girl 24/7 because she’s gotta know her worth! My dog is my whole world, I’ll do anything for her!

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!

Dylan dog sat our two senior dogs for 9 days. He was incredibly communicative and quick to respond. He gave daily walks, and successfully gave meds. We felt comfortable with him in our home, the dogs loved him, and we’ll definitely use him again!

Jess was amazing. She truly treated our dogs like her own, and as much as part of me was super jealous, that's what I wanted. She sent tons of photos, gave them a ton of exercise, and went above and beyond. Everykitty/puppy in our house (minus a few standouts that hate everyone but me) LOVED her.

About: I have had 3 dogs over my lifetime and raised my latest one during the pandemic, training him when I was home from college taking online classes. I am searching for a way to fill the void I feel being away from my dogs at home as I begin my new job. I can easily take your dog out and am not afraid of putting collars on. I know how to calm anxious dogs down as well.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8, having owned rottweilers and a pug. I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, ages, and energy level. I am a student at Ohio State looking to make a couple extra bucks while hanging out with cute dogs! I am available weekends and weekdays after 1 PM I give dogs lots of attention through playtime, a walk, brushing them, or just laying with them. I can follow specific instructions with feeding, bathroom breaks, or routines they have. Can also send updates or photos if wanted/needed.

About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! I helped take care of my family dog growing up, dog sat overnight for friends and neighbors throughout high school, and in college I cared for service dogs in training through both short-term days and longer stays lasting multiple weeks. I've worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I've watched and walked many dogs for friends and family over the years, and I've become a go-to pet sitter for many people in my life because they know their dogs will be safe, loved, and well cared for. Honestly, what sets me apart is that I genuinely want to be there. I absolutely love dogs and am the person who gets excited every time I see one. Spending time with dogs never feels like a chore to me, it's something I truly enjoy. Along with that, I'm very responsible and understand that owners trust me with a member of their family. I take that seriously by following care instructions carefully, maintaining routines, and paying attention to each dog's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Some days I have classes or clinic responsibilities with breaks in the middle of the day, while other days I have much more open availability. I'm often available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care during weekdays, and I'm typically available on weekends as well. I do my best to keep my calendar updated so owners know exactly when I'm available, and I'm happy to communicate about scheduling needs in advance. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in whatever environment works best for them. I am happy to provide regular walks, outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks to burn off energy, shorter strolls at a slower pace, or lots of sniff breaks, I'm happy to tailor activities to their needs and routine. I understand that many dogs are most comfortable in their own homes, so I'm very open to drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home once we've had a chance to meet and ensure it's a good fit for everyone. I'm a responsible and detail-oriented caregiver who follows owners' instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, training expectations, or any other special needs. I live in an apartment and do not have a fenced yard, so its probably best for me to come to the pup! I make sure dogs receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, and supervised outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your dog's normal routine as much as possible so they feel happy, secure, and well cared for.

Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️
