“Ann did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent the greatest daily recaps with multiple pictures, which was *so* appreciated. I’d give 6 stars if I could. My boy was so happy and relaxed when I got home thanks to her care and attention.”


“We were on vacation for a week and Erica was wonderful as always with our German shepherd. She truly cares about the family, home & pet she is caring for and we appreciate all that she does to help us! She’s always our first pick & we highly recommend her to everyone!”


“Megan was absolutely amazing with our pets. They have so many different needs. She was attentive and comforting not only to my pets but me as well. We were so lucky to have her as a sitter!”


“Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!”


“Morgan is a god send!! She spent the day, night and morning at my downtown Columbus apartment looking after my 16-22 mo. old rescue American Bully while I was away for the weekend and did a perfect job. I didn’t know Morgan personally, but upon our meet and greet, I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog for the first time in her care. She took Shadow on many walks, fed him as I asked, was a fast communicator, kept me in the loop with photos and updates, and was very respectful of my apartment. I came home to a very happy boy!! Thank you Morgan for looking after Shadow on such short notice. Will look to you for your support again! 😊🐶”


“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”


“Allison is absolutely awesome! She stayed over at our home with our two dogs and cat and everything went so well. The pets all just love her and it was easy to see from her messages and pictures that she took great care of our pets and our home. We all look forward to having Allison come again the next time a need arises!”


“Ryn did an incredible dog sitting our yorkie/schnauzer mix who has pretty high separation anxiety. Louie eventually warmed up to her and she kept in contact with updates, easing any worries I had while traveling.”


“I cannot recommend Alexandria highly enough for her outstanding care of my dog, Topi. I needed help on very short notice, and Alexandria stepped in without hesitation. She was absolutely wonderful with Topi, showing great affection and attentiveness. Topi was happy and well-cared for during my absence, and it was such a relief to know she was in such capable hands. Thank you, Alexandria, for your exceptional care and kindness!”


“Emily is amazing and so sweet! This was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous—we always get nervous leaving our babies, but Emily made this trip less stressful for us. I would definitely book with her again! Our dogs were well taken care of, as well as our home! She followed all instructions to a tee and even went above and beyond! We also appreciated her sending lots of updates, photos, & videos!”


“Corrine was amazing with both of my kitties! She was able to come over before I left to meet both of them and get a feel for where things were in my home. She sent me updates with pictures every day which was very reassuring that my kitties were in great hands! I highly recommend Corrine and will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future! ❤️”


About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Keely helped us enjoy our trip away from home without having to worry about our furballs while away. She was exceptionally easy to work with while showing great care for the animals.”


“This is one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had… Her communications were amazing- she took tons of photos showed concern and questions when the dogs acted in a way she wasn’t sure… Just in general she treated them as if they were her own. She was a phenomenal sitter and I will definitely use her again!”


“Emma was great with all of our animals while we were out of town! She was very communicative and kept us up to date on things we needed to know.”


“Brittany was great with our pup! This was the first time we had left her so we were a little nervous of course. Brittany checked in and sent us updates at least once a day and Opal even jumped in a mud puddle right before Brittany was going to leave and she stayed to give her a bath :)”


“Kristin was the absolute best! She took such great care of Benji, made sure he had everything he needed, and even sent me picture updates throughout the stay! I came back home to a very VERY happy pup :)”


About: I’ve been a proud dog mom my whole life, caring for my two pups throughout their lives, gaining hands on experience with everything from daily routines to unexpected 3am situations. Over the years, family and friends have regularly entrusted me with their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. You can count on me to provide attentive, realistic me and compassionate care with plenty of exercise and affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy and safe so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time but have the flexibility of working from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Even on days I’m in office, I’m available in the evenings and early mornings for walks, feedings and check-ins. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me a great fit for overnight stays, longer visits, or more active care when needed. I plan my schedule with plenty of time built in to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Wherever I’m caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priority. I take time to understand your pets needs, routine and personality. I make sure to respect your space while maintaining your pets normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable.

“Amanda was amazing! She was extremely communicative with us and our pup Murphy had a great time with her. Amanda was very respectful of our space when staying at the house and adhered to Murphys schedule. We would recommend Amanda to anyone!”


“Emily is amazing and takes great care of my pups! She really goes above and beyond and I know that my dogs are getting the best care possible. She is so thoughtful and takes great care of the house, too. Highly recommend!!”
