About: Hello, I’m Kylee! I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have over 12 years of experience caring for not only my own family pets but the pets of family, friends, and even folks from other internet platforms like this one! My family currently has 1 dog and 8 cats living with us, all pets that came to us because they had no safe place to call home. I believe in doing everything I can to give all the little creatures out there a chance, and feel blessed to have been able to help so many over the years. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rodents, squirrels, chickens, horses, and even a couple of lost goats! I’d love to meet you and your pets, and spread some of my love to them too. SERVICES: -House sitting: I love spending quality time with a pet in their comfort zone of your home, whether we’re snuggled up on the couch together or playing with their favorite toy! This is a service I provide during which I will be with your pet overnight for at least 12 hours (for example, 8pm-8am). This absolutely does not mean this is the only time I will spend at your home with your pet. But during the day, I may come and go as sometimes I do have other commitments to attend to. And rest assured, as I will still maintain your pet’s regular feeding, walking, and potty schedules. If you are looking for daytime pet sitting in your home during which I do not leave your house/pet, often called constant care, please request a booking by selecting the option for drop-in visits and booking the hours in which you would like me to stay at your home. -Drop in visit: I’d love to do a drop in visit for you to make sure your pet is kept safe, healthy, and happy! It is my goal to provide your pet with extra special attention, and make sure all their needs are met fully. -Dog walking: I believe a little fresh air, sunshine, and exercise is good for everyone, dogs included! I’d love to meet your pup and take them on an adventure through your neighborhood! I would love to chat more with you and see if I could be the perfect fit for your needs! I can offer the loving care your pets deserve, to give you the peace of mind you deserve. Please contact me with any questions or concerns! Pet care is part of my everyday life. Right now my schedule is quite flexible. I’m open to whatever you need, I’m here to help you! I’ve loved animals all my life, and I’ve got over a decade of experience of caring for pets. I’m capable and confident in my abilities to take excellent care of your pets. With me, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and your home are in good hands. Thank you for considering allowing me this opportunity.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I own two dogs, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. The dogs are two blue tick coonhounds and one is 11 while the other one is around 2. I love to rescue animals and try to help them get to know that humans aren't all bad. I can do senior care and medicine handling, since I've had senior dogs myself and they have needed medication. As a child, I would always try to help people that lost their dogs find them again. I love my animals and want to give love to your animals! I am working a part-time job at Goodwill as if right now. I don't know my schedule at work until a week beforehand, and sometimes it's even later than that. I stay with my pets at home a lot. I play with them, feed them, try to train them a bit if needed, reward them, and love on them of course! I will do the same for your pets if you need! I will definitely create a relationship with the animal before doing too much. I need them to trust me.
About: I've had animals my entire life. Dogs and cats! I take care of humans in the ER, and want to take care of my preferred kind of babies (fur babies) on my days off! I'm an RN! So I am working 3-4 shifts a week which leaves plenty of time to take care of fur babies on my days off! I will take care of my clients fur babies in ways that are preferred by the client! If that's stopping in for play time, snuggles, walks, etc! I can do it all!
“Savannah went above and beyond to care for our cats. She was a great communicator and provided many photos and videos. She also gave them extra attention, plenty of play time, and engagement. It was relieving to know someone was so attentive, trustworthy, and already knowledgeable about pets. She also kept the cat space clean!”
“Trinity did an excellent job and provided peace of mind while we were on vacation! Would highly recommend! The daily check-ins and pics were very nice as well! Thanks again!”
About: I am very passionate about animal care and nurturing their state of mind! I come fresh from working in a Positive reinforcement and Enrichment based Daycare. I believe strongly in taking care of dogs mental state to provide the best experience for them! I love to do enrichment activities with dogs and have learned quite a bit about body language in dogs. In my eyes if I am caring for your pup, I want them to feel like I am family and they get to enjoy their time! I am new to the Columbus area so I have an open schedule at the moment! I am open to what works best for you! I currently cannot provide in home at my place of residence but I can ensure that when providing client in home care that I will treat not only your pup with respect and care, but your place ad well.
About: I have been around animals all my life. I am a registered veterinary technician who has worked with all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs. I work in a school district and am currently on summer vacation, so I have tons of availability to visit your pets and/or walk them during the day. My only unavailable time is Tuesdays after 5:30. I will always ensure the animal feels safe and loved. I will follow the same guidelines that their owners have set to ensure minimal confusion and anxiety.
About: Hi, I’m Carrie! Animals have been the heart of my world for as long as I can remember. With over 13 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including 3 years working in a shelter and 10 years in veterinary clinics as a receptionist, kennel worker, and manager—you can trust that your pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I share my life with a lovable pitbull who is my whole heart, so I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. Whether it's drop-in visits, older pup care, or just good old-fashioned playtime shenanigans, I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do use a mobility aid for walking, but it doesn’t slow me down one bit when it comes to cuddles, belly rubs, or tail-wagging adventures. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your four-legged best friend! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available for a variety of activities such as mid-morning, afternoon and mid-day drop-ins, potty breaks, play time and socialization. I’m my own home, I take my own dog for multiple walks throughout one neighborhood throughout the day. Due to being unable to board or do overnights in clients homes, depending on your environment, I would love to spend time outdoors with the animals, whether a it’s for playing fetch in the yard, walks in the neighborhood, relaxing in the sun with our feline friends, or just dropping in for some one-on-one time.
“Alison is so sweet and kind. I can tell she very much cared about our cat’s well being. She did what she said she would do, when she said she would do it. She goes above and beyond and I won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”
“Samantha was wonderful with both of our kitties! Even our scaredy cat was happily interacting and playing with her, which is miraculous! She kept us updated and sent tons of pictures, and we’ve already booked with her again!”

“Kari and Clint were phenomenal. I got daily updates and pictures and when I needed an extra day at the last minute, they happily accommodated my cat with no complaints. They even sent us home with a new toy and box of treats! I will absolutely be using them again!!”
“Everything is fine. Jaclyn left me a text photo of Hank being out in the yard. I know he likes her because her wont do that for everyone. We will be making an appt for a week in Sept. I have already discussed this with Jaclyn. Please put an $8.00 tip on my account number that was provided. I appreciate the fact that her family lives several blocks from my home.”
About: Grew up around animals. Love working with fish all the way up to horses. At one point I was helping transport animals in need from shelters to a better place. I work full time during the day but on my free time I love helping with my own pets at home and would love to work with others. Walking them, giving them baths and feeding them. I also love playing tug of war or fetch as long as weather allows too. Just watching pets play to.
About: I have 30+ years of pet care experience from caring for family companions as a child to running a farmed animal sanctuary (currently) and everything in between. I have worked with nearly every domestic specie and some wild too. I recently "retired" after being a nanny for a family for eight years and have transitioned to working from home so I can spend more time at the sanctuary. I would love to fill in some of my spare time caring for other's companions as it's my true passion. I'm currently working from home as a bookkeeper where I create my own schedule. I also don't have human children so other than vet appointments for our sanctuary animals, I'm very flexible. I cannot offer care in my home but I would love to help provide a calm and safe environment for your companion in your home while you're away. I'm available to feed, water, walk, play, socialize, give meds, cuddle or provide animal cleanup services.
About: I have grown up and owned a handful of large breed dogs. I have also volunteered with rescues. I have experience with rescue dogs and am comfortable around and dealing with dogs of different temperaments. Happy to take care of and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I have an extremely flexible and open work schedule. I work full time but enjoy doing this as a side hobby. My open days vary each week but will always be available 5 out of 7 days and the days that I am off, I am extremely flexible, happy to work with you on what fits your and your pets needs best! I am unable to care for other dogs at my own home due to have 3 dogs of my own. But more than happy to come to your home and love on your pets while you’re away as if they were my own! Meet and greet before any scheduled visits is a must, I want to be sure it’s a comfortable and safe fit for all parties before hand!
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
