About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. Growing up, I walked dogs in my neighborhood and helped raise my own pup from just 3 months old all the way to 16, alongside my dad. That journey taught me patience, responsibility, and how to meet a dog’s needs at every life stage. I have studied dog psychology and body language on my own. I’m comfortable administering pills and, with guidance, I can also give shots—always prioritizing each dog’s comfort and well-being. I currently work part-time in the event industry and my hours vary. I will have plenty of time to take care for your fur babies! I have a high commitment to trust and safety inside or outside of my clients home. I am extremely vigilant and aware of my surroundings. Your dog will always feel safe, protected, and cared for.

About: I have been house/dog sitting since the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby! I work from 8am to 4pm Monday-Friday beginning Aug 8.. My evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey. My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of breeds big and small, cats snakes, chickens and lizards. I’ve watched dogs with a fence and without, given daily medications. I’ve sat for guard dogs. I’ve helped through home emergencies: old leaks and power outage. I’ve been dog sitting since I was in high-school with family and have had many add on through word of mouth! I love going outside for walks! Every-time I’m out I always think I could be walking a dog too! I don’t have any pets of my own as I am in school right now and travel frequently, I enjoy dog sitting in my spare time. I work 7:30-4 Monday - Friday and off on weekends. Thursdays every week I will be working 7:30am -10pm because I work at my medical office and volunteer at another afterword. I’m able to stay overnight and do morning walks/feeding or come over after work to walk/ feed. I don’t have any pets of my own but love them! I sit for a lot of coworkers in the medical field and family annually! Just want to get more steps in and help those who need it :)

“Aspen did a wonderful job of taking care of my three kitties while I was on vacation for a week. I loved the daily picture updates, and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


About: Hi! I'm a dedicated cat parent to three amazing kitties of my own. With years of hands on experience caring for my own fur babies, I understand how important it is to find someone who truly gets cats — their quirks, moods, and unique personalities. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, or a total cuddlebug, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I offer gentle, attentive care tailored to your cat's needs because I know how much they mean to you. Let your cats stay in the comfort of their home, with someone who treats them like family 💕🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on giving pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m able to plan my day around your cat’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free for them. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions carefully whether it’s feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or any special needs your cat may have. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for in their own familiar space. I’m also happy to provide regular updates while you're away! I’ll send messages, photos, and videos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured that they’re in good hands. I know how much it means to stay connected with your pet while you’re apart. In addition, I always respect your home, keep things tidy, and treat both your space and your pets with the same care I give my own.

About: Since I was 13 I was walking dogs, pet sitting, caring for animals of all sorts and now that im an adult I decided to get on a professional website. (Will be free for dog walking and check ins on thurs,fri,sat, and sun from 3pm-10 pm days and hours may change due to attending university) Mostly will be doing dog walking and will only be walking 1 dog at a time unless said dogs are known to get along and be good with one another. Incase I ever do in home care I have a fenced in yard +hard dog food, filtered water, dog doo bags (please provide leashes). I also have 1 very friendly large dog and a cat who gets along well with dogs but not other cats.

About: I grew up with dogs and other animals. I have experience in puppies to elderly animals. I have experience giving meds, special diets, and lots of love. Taking care of my dog was a day in and day out routine, as he was very codependent and was with me nonstop everywhere I went. He recently passed away and as much as I love dogs, I just can not commit to another after the love I lost in mine. So I would love the opportunity to share my love with your furry family member as needed. Thank you I have a 2 story home that is full of love. I have a huge field and pond right outside my front door. Plenty of walking area.

“Justice was absolutely amazing! She did a meet & greet before dogsitting in our home for our 3 dogs while we were away for the weekend. Left great notes & put up pictures of our dogs, and really took them time to make them all comfortable. We would definitely book with her again!”

“Kyra was patient and willing to work with our reactive dogs! She was on time for our appointment and very friendly. She listened to our instructions carefully and carried out professionally. She was calm and loving to both our pets. Will definitely be recommending her to our friends and family and will definitely be using her services again!”


“Madelyn was wonderful with our cats, one of whom needs medicated twice a day to prevent seizures. She spent enough time each visit to earn the trust of our shyest cat and went beyond our expectations by clearing the snow from our sidewalk. We will not hesitate to book her again and would recommend her.”


“Diane was fantastic! This is the 2nd time we've used Diane because she is great. She sends us pictures, let us know what has happened while we've been away (such pee breaks, water, etc. with the puppy) and she is very punctual with her communication and arrival. Will definitely recommend her to friends and family. And use her again ourselves for our 2 furbabies!!!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently have a 8 year old basset hound named Louis who’s a super healthy pup Currently in school full time at osu and wanting to make some extra money. I love animals and this would be perfect for me to do. I live in an apartment right next to a park! i make sure that i'm very cautious when walking and am always paying attention to your pet.

About: I have been caring and taking care of dogs for over 15 years. I live a active lifestyle so walking, dog parks, and playing with the pups is just fun for both of us. I am a full time mom that enjoys children and dogs. I have a 15 year old and 9 year old who also enjoy dogs. I own a lab mix which is friendly and open to a playmate. I am flexible with scheduling, and needs of your pup. I have plenty of yard space for play time and walking. Crates and personal dog items are welcome, however I am happy to crate your pup if need be.

About: Hello Rover! Where do I begin. I have been animal crazy since I was able to talk - my mom use to brag about my favorite channel being animal planet 😂. College wasn’t my speed, so instead - I opened a pet care business! Things were absolutely amazing… until Covid. Nobody needed me anymore and I had to provide for my fur family. We continued to help with rescues (at this point I have personally fostered about 170 pets) but had to shift gears for my career! Now - I’m 4 years into a fast pace sales job selling new build homes all over Columbus! I miss my time with the fur babies deeply. So I'm back! Not full time - but I’m hopeful to see some of your kiddos on my days off while getting my steps in!! Experienced in quite literally everything, new born to hospice. Chi chi to Great Dane. Perfect walkers to strong pullers! Oh, and I have 7 personal dogs so bring on the “full households”! Looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies soon! 😁 Mondays and Tuesdays are my current days off! I have personal training 9:00 - 10:30 and I’m off the rest of the day! Hoping to schedule a few walks or visits on these days :) Today, I am not offering services in my home but we are building a home where this will be offered! For now, my care will be in the clients home and following their instructions!

Penny m.
“Penny is the most trusted pet sitter that i have had. She is very responsible & always dependable in caring for my dog when I am away from home for an extended period. She follows all of my instructions 100% and is very attentive if I ever need an update from her. My dog is in the very best care when she is here & I highly recommend her for any pet care. She is truly wonderful!!!!”


Madison C.
“I honestly cannot put into words how grateful I am for Madison.She is truly exceptional, and I don’t know what I would do without her! From day one, I could tell she wasn’t just a “dog sitter” but someone who genuinely loves and understands animals on the deepest level. My dog Zeke isn’t always the easiest—he can be shy with new people and has his own little quirks—but she won him over instantly. That alone told me everything I needed to know. She has a natural warmth, patience, and calm energy that dogs are drawn to, and it gives me so much comfort knowing he’s not only in good hands but also truly happy when he’s with her. What sets her apart is the way she goes above and beyond every single time. She’s attentive to his routine, and sprinkles in extra love and snuggles so he feels secure and cared for. The thoughtful updates and adorable photo check-ins she sends while I’m away mean the world to me—I can actually relax knowing my pup is safe, content, and adored. When I come home, I can always tell how well he’s been cared for. He’s calm, relaxed, and his happy little tail wags say it all. That kind of peace of mind is priceless, and it’s a reflection of the incredible dedication and love she pours into what she does. It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate. She treats my dog like her own, and I will be forever grateful for the joy and reassurance she brings to both of us. If you’re lucky enough to have Madison care for your fur babies, you’ll quickly see why I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly the best!”

Krystal M.
“I can't recommend Krystal enough as a cat sitter! I've trusted them with my fur baby multiple times over the years, and every experience has been fantastic. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive. My cat is usually quite shy around new people, but with Krystal she warmed up right away and felt so comfortable. They always go the extra mile to send me updates with pictures and videos so I never have to worry about how my pet is doing. It's clear that Krystal has a natural love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Whether it’s giving him plenty of cuddles, playing with him or making sure his food and litter are taken care of, she takes great care in everything. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter then Krystal is the one you want. My cat absolutely adores them, and I do too!”
