Ellie did a fantastic job looking after our cat for a week. He’s shy with new people but warmed up to her quickly. Ellie’s communication was great. She left us regular updates with pictures. Would highly recommend and use her services again.

My pups had a great day with Nicole! I had a long day out of town - too long for my dogs to be alone all day. Nicole spent time playing with and loving on them. They’ve been snooza poloza since I got home! Nicole’s interactions with both of my dogs - even anxious Dexter - meant I could spend the day away with confidence because she’s so great with them. Thank you!

Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️

About: I started pet sitting when I was around 13 with my next-door neighbor’s dog Shiloh. I grew up with her and had played with her before so she was a great starting point for me! Since then, I have watched family/friends pets whenever they were sick or went out of town and have been doing so for years, throughout high school. My freshman year of college, my roommate has a service dog in training, and I’ve learned even more about dog training and dog care in general from him. I’m in my 3rd year at OSU studying English and Psychology, so I try to fit pet care into my weekly schedule. I have availability most days, however the times may change from day to day depending on my classes and extracurricular schedules. I have a pet cat that I have to leave at home with my parents when I leave for school, so I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet without you for any amount of time. I’m very open to owner’s routines and hope to care for your pets in the way you would care for them yourself!

Kam was such a blessing to us! She was caring and attentive and affectionate to my furry friends and went above and beyond for everyone even when she didn't have to. She booked with us last minute and put up with so many directions and last minute changes and surprises. I can't say enough about her. Thank you so much Kam. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

About: I’ve worked with animals since I was 15, but even before that, animals were always a huge part of my life. My mom worked with animals for the first 11 years of my life, so I’ve spent a lot of time in and out of shelters and vet clinics to help out and learn as much as I could. As far as my own experience, I worked at a daycare/boarding facility for 3 years. I did the typical things to take care of the dogs: feeding, updating water bowls, playing throughout the day. But here also taught me how to study dog body language. I’ve worked with animals who have higher energy than a toddler, but I’ve also dealt with mean/shy geriatric animals. No matter how they come, it’s about earning trust to get them to feel comfortable. I also have experience in grooming and vaccinating animals, and have administered medication to cats & dogs. I plan on going to Veterinary school after I graduate with my undergraduate degree, so I hope to always have animals as apart of my life. I’m looking to do this full time! I have a night time job, but this summer I really want to focus more on happiness rather than being money hungry. I want to do what I enjoy, and that’s spending as much time with animals as I can before I go to college! I have lots of availability and will be very flexible to whatever is thrown my way. It would be harder for me to bring a pet into my home, because I don’t want to stress out my cat. This was his space first and I’d like to give him that respect. As far as going to others, I will give them the care that you do. If they need me to cook them rice and chicken every night for dinner, then I will. I’m very flexible and just want to do what is best for you and your fur baby.

Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.

Kiki saved the day!! I was in a pinch and Kiara was incredibly flexible and able to accommodate my request for help on very short notice. I was very nervous about leaving my 11 wk old puppy and old lady cat for a weekend out of state, but was immediately calmed by Kiara's calm and sunny presence. She was communicative, sending updates throughout her stay and even worked on training with my little guy. I felt at peace and was able to enjoy a great trip knowing that she was taking care of my babes like they were her own. She'll be on speed dial from here on out!

Aleisa is the best!!! She did an incredible job watching my medically fragile girl, including handling a situation that led to an emergency vet visit. She did an amazing job keeping in contact about Frannie’s day to day, asked great questions, and communicated any conflicts with scheduling. I 100% trust and recommend Aleisa and would love to work with her again in the future!!
