“Hillary is like family to us now. We received frequent pictures and updates throughout the week and we felt like Bailey was enjoying his own vacation while we were away. She provided special attention to his little ‘quirks’ and needs and we are overjoyed to find someone like her. No kennels ever again for Bailey!! Hillary is truly someone special. Thanks for everything!!!”


“Deanna was patient with our 7 months puppy who needed extra love and attention! She kept us updated with pictures and images. Our puppy even bonded with her pack! They came home happy and well.”


“Oh my!! Will and Bibiana, are the absolute best! We called them literally at the last minute made a booking they accepted the booking for our Charlie. This couple is awesome!!!! Very nice, very friendly, immediate welcome our Charlie with his disability into their home. They showed no hesitation to just make him feel welcome. Very professional , house is a place that you would want your very family taken care of. Our dog Charlie is a special needs dog. They didn’t even hesitate to say that they would take care of him as we had a funeral for my husband‘s uncle today in Cincinnati. Thank you, thank you, thank you Will and your lovely wife. We appreciate you so very much and we will be booking with you again! If you’re looking for a great place for your extended furry family consider Will and his lovely wife Bibiana. I HIGHLY recommend them! I love that they sent us videos of Charlie sitting in the window, watching the cars go by along with another dog and they was just having a good greatest time just looking out the window although our Charlie was barking at everything he saw, but the other dog tend to look at him and say, what are we looking at bud.🤣🤣”


“They took absolutely wonderful care of Camry!! I received updates and photos during her entire stay with them. I look forward to being able to have great care for future stays. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her while I was in the hospital!!”


“Joe is very responsive, which is really nice. Joe happily scheduled our meet and greet, and then had Finn over recently for a night. Finn was well-taken care of and we already have a longer visit booked.”

“Watched my anxiety riddled dog for a week with no problems! I received updates throughout the week and Abigail was very organized in helping make sure my dog has everything he needed to have a good visit. He was also sound asleep when I brought him home within 5 minutes from all the playtime. Definitely recommend and I will use again myself!”


“Enzo had a great time playing with Samantha’s pups. He slept all evening after I picked him up and I could tell he missed his new doggy friends. She said he even ate some which is great because he doesn’t always do that when we are away.”

During Cookie’s stay, Alyssa kept us regularly updated with plenty of pictures. The pickup and drop off went smoothly as well. I highly recommend Alyssa for all your dog-sitting needs!”


“Ashely was phenomenal in all ways. She helped me when I was in a tough spot with a last minute booking over the holiday.

Would absolutely recommend!”


“Janelle was a great help taking care of my dog. She was prompt in sending photos / videos of my pet during his stay at her place.

About: Hi, I'm Kathleen. I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of experience dog sitting, walking, and caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and needs. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare, overnight boarding, house sitting, and even bathing and basic grooming (like nail trims and brush-outs). Pick-up and drop-off available anywhere in New Albany, Gahanna, Westerville, West Albany, Central Village, Newark, and Johnstown. I'm work part-time from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I walk about 4 miles daily, and your dog is welcome to join me for part or all of those walks. I’m within walking distance of three dog parks (if you permit), and close to amazing walking trails like Taylor Farm Park & Nature Reserve, Bevelhymer Park, Blendon Woods, and Rocky Fork — perfect for fresh air, exploration, and lots of tail wags. I grew up helping my parents care for their Westie puppies — they were home breeders and it was my daily chore (and joy!). Since then, I’ve rescued and fostered dogs, including those with special needs (low/no vision, senior, anxiety, picky eaters, etc.) I’m experienced with special diets, medications, senior dogs, and those needing extra care and patience. Whether your pet is active or mellow, young or aging, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. And of course — unlimited belly rubs included. Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. Reach out — I’d love to get to know you and your pup! I am retired but do part-time graphic design from home. I enjoying staying at home, and love playing with dogs or just letting they nest and get cozy. I walk outdoors, usually about 3-4miles a day, and would love to have your pup along for any/all of that! I love to take photos so expect many updates. Pick up and drop off to your door available, no problem. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex, so lots of great sniffs! There are plenty of sidewalks, ponds and walking trails (and 3 dog parks within 10 minute walk if you and your put agree on that). Also, if your dog doesn't care for meeting new dogs while on walks, there are several sidewalks and foot paths to make a quick turn to cater to your dog's energy and preferences. First floor so no stairs for senior/special needs dogs. Big windows with cozy beds to lay on and watch outside :-) I live with my active 80 year mom so lots of attention and belly rubs to go around. Also I love housesitting so that is a great option if your pup prefers to stay in their own space. I'm an excellent communicator, very respectful and clean. No smoking, drugs, or alcohol. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
