“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”

“Our pups had an amazing time! Alex took great care to love them as if they were her own and gave us plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend”

“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”

“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”

“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”


“Very nice Sitter, we felt she took great care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pics, quick to respond to any questions we had. She is an excellent choice in the Columbus area and we would use her again without question!!!”


“Tamisha was wonderful. We had a family emergency and we had to fly out and she came through. She was so helpful and Eden had a great time. She kept us updated and sent photos. I would highly recommend Tamisha.”

“The whole experience was amazing. It was great to do a meet and great prior to Henry’s drop off. They welcomed Henry as he was their own pup. He stayed with them for three nights and I never had to worry about him. We got several pictures and videos as updates ! We are so pleased to found such a good option when we are away.”

“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”

“Stellar, exceptional, dope, and just SUPERCALIFRAGALISTIC, this all describes the superior service Zahria provided to my baby and to me. She was great with communicating everyday sometimes multiple times per day which definitely set my mind at ease. Sending pictures and videos of their activities. Her goal was to make him comfortable being away from me and me comfortable being away from him, well she nailed the assignment. Honestly, she treated Onyx so well I was afraid he wouldn't want to come back home, lol. I will most definitely be using her again as soon as the need arises and for as long as she is available. Zahria is highly recommended by me, if you want your baby treated like a King or Queen. Thank you Zahria you are a tough act to follow.”

“Justen was great with my dog Honey! She is a little nervous around other dogs after previously getting attacked and he made sure she felt comfortable and safe! I would definitely let him watch her again!”

“Thank you for taking such amazing care of Olive! The pictures of her were so beautiful and it’s clear she felt right at home with you. She’s already looking forward to her next slumber party!”

“Sydney was amazing! I had to change the drop off time the day before and she was so flexible! She kept me up to date with videos and pictures and my boys came home nice and sleepy! Will definitely be using her again!”

“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and horses since I was 12 years old. My responsibility’s included feeding, walking, bathing , litter box changing , shoveling stalls . Currently I am working full time 8hr shift. I am looking to take care of pets part time after work a few times a week and some weekends . I do not have a fenced in yard so I mainly walk dogs in my neighborhood or take dogs to Eagle Creek Park if I am allowed . I have an annual park pass and use it often . I like to run so sometimes I will run with the dog .

Nicole was professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about caring for Kazo. Kazo was treated like family and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Nicole's services to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate, and dependable pet care.

Debra was fantastic! I felt absolutely comfortable leaving Cece and Vivian with her. She was very communicative and kept me up to date. She also went out of her way to accommodate my schedule for pick-up and drop-off. Cece and Vivian had a wonderful time and came home happy and exhausted. I would definitely recommend her.

Overall amazing experience she was very great with communication and made this process a lot easier for it being my first time having to board my fur baby she also sent lots of updates and photos which helped put my mind at ease and showed how much fun Bobby was having he enjoyed his time very much and adjusted right back as soon as we got home. I would definitely book again. She's awesome

Nevaeh was wonderful! I was so concerned that we would not be able to find anyone last minute. She was awesome, honest and supportive! We officially have a new babysitter for our little Golden Doodle! Nevaeh was quick with the updates and pictures and really put our minds at ease that Nuala was in great hands! Thank you so much for being so fantastic!

Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!

Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!

Anudari did a fantastic job caring for both my corgi and my cat at the same time. She sent daily updates with plenty of photos and videos and followed all of my care instructions closely. This isn’t my first time booking with her—and I’ve already booked again. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!

Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!

Khalyn was amazing!! Our dog Atticus had so much fun and was so loved and cared for while we were away. We got so many pictures and videos of him running around the backyard, playing with her dogs, and relaxing. We know Atticus would love to go back so we would absolutely have Khalyn watch him again!
