Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!

Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!

Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!

Sheridan was great watching our two dogs and cat at our house while we were gone! She even came over a week early to meet us and the dogs which we really appreciated. She was very communicative, sending great pics every day where we were gone. Will definitely reach out to her for future sitting needs!

My 2 big dogs and cat LOVE Megan!! The other cat is well card for, but chooses to keep her distance. I am completely at ease while I’m gone, knowing that all of my fur babies are in good hands, in their own spaces. Megan is clean, brings in the mail… I can say enough good things about having her house sit when we’re away.

Alanis did a wonderful job for us! It was so nice to go away and know that our pets were well taken care of, especially because we were gone for seven nights and in a different time zone. She was easy to communicate with and would ask if she had any questions. When you meet Alanis you can tell that she is a genuinely nice and caring person. I was hesitant to give a good review for fear that she won’t be available when we need her!!!

About: I have had at least a decade of experience with dogs, cats, and many other animals. I have dogsat, dogwalked, and worked as a veterinary technician's assistant in the past. I am graduating with my bachelor's in animal science from the Ohio State University this May, and I will be continuing my education at Ohio State's College of Veterinary Medicine. I have plenty of experience handling dogs and cats of all health, dietary, and temperament needs. I am currently available at most times! I prefer to work on weekdays rather than weekends, but both are fine. I would rather work in the afternoon but mornings work as well. I can feed, give water, play with, walk, pet, give medicine, pick up after, and basically take care of the animal as much as possible. I will sleep over if needed and can come over for potty breaks. I am a short female, so I may not be able to walk a big dog if it runs/pulls a lot.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping care for my own pets, taking on a larger role in their daily routines about six years ago. Over the past two years, I’ve also provided reliable pet and house sitting for family and friends. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and pet transportation. I have experience with both small and large dogs (growing up with a miniature sheltie and a black lab)! As the families I’ve provided pet care services for have grown, I also have gained experience providing care for senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently working part-time (7-3 Friday through Sunday), so I have a free schedule during the week to take care of your pets while you’re at work or away! I also am available afternoons Friday-Sunday for walks and check ins. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I am attentive to detailed instruction and preferences, and take safety very seriously. I am mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets during walks or outdoors, and making sure their (and your) space stays clean and safe. I respect your home just as much as your pet, and I make sure to communicate regularly with updates for your peace of mind.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was uncomfortable around animals, so she encouraged me to help neighbors care for theirs. What started as a way to spend time with animals eventually grew into a pet-care business that I've continued for more than six years. Over the years, I've provided dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, house sitting, and cat care for 20–50 pets. I've worked with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, multi-dog households, and pets with special care routines. I'm comfortable administering oral medications using pill pockets, maintaining feeding schedules, handling accidents, and providing consistent exercise and companionship. As an Ohio State student-athlete and Morrill Scholar, I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and communicative. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. As a student-athlete at Ohio State, I maintain a structured and consistent schedule. I have swim practice in the mornings, but outside of practice I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Since my schedule is predictable, I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I prioritize maintaining each pet's normal routine and following all owner instructions carefully so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I make sure pets receive regular exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, and plenty of attention.

Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8, having owned rottweilers and a pug. I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, ages, and energy level. I am a student at Ohio State looking to make a couple extra bucks while hanging out with cute dogs! I am available weekends and weekdays after 1 PM I give dogs lots of attention through playtime, a walk, brushing them, or just laying with them. I can follow specific instructions with feeding, bathroom breaks, or routines they have. Can also send updates or photos if wanted/needed.

I count on Megan's loving care for my 2 big dogs and 2 cats whenever I go away. She is attentive and always sends photos to keep me aware that all is well. I so appreciate the assurance that my fur babies are in excellent hands when I'm not there.

Once again, Carlie took wonderful care of our pups, and we returned to happy dogs and a home exactly as we left it. Our golden retriever required extra attention this time due to new medication and storm anxiety, and Carlie handled both with ease. She kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, and we could tell everyone had settled in comfortably together. We’re so grateful to have her. We didn’t have a single worry while we were away!
