About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and spent nearly 25 years living with and caring for them. I’m the go-to sitter for my friends, regularly watching their dogs for days or even weeks at a time. From tiny Yorkie and Basenji puppies to medium Cockapoos and extra-large rescues, I’ve walked, trained, and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I tailor every walk to your pup, whether they prefer a slow stroll with plenty of breaks or a steady jog (I recently ran the Big Ten 10K representing my alma mater, Ohio State). Outside of dog walking, I’ve spent over a decade working in the energy field and recently took an intentional career break after a meaningful year helping rebuild Puerto Rico’s electric grid. You can count on me for reliable, loving care every time. I’m currently taking an intentional career break, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m happy to support one-time walks, last-minute requests, or ongoing, routine care - whatever works best for you and your pup. I care for pets as if they were my own, with attention to their unique routines, personalities, and needs. Before any booking, I like to do a quick check-in to align on expectations, learn about your pet’s habits, preferences, and any special care instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their established schedule, maintaining their space, and keeping things clean and consistent. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or medications, I provide calm, attentive care and clear communication every step of the way.

“Donald was incredible!! I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone! He was helpful and accommodating. I appreciated the photos he posted after each walk which helped ease my anxiety of keeping my new dog at home alone while at work.”

“Just booked Victoria for a second time after she walked my dog last week! She has been great with her and dealt with complications like accidents and surprise kitty visitors very well. Thanks, Victoria!”

About: I grew up with English mastiffs as a child. In college I helped raise two crazy husky puppies and watched them grow up! After college I rescued a pitty mix as a puppy who had some issues. I have gone through training courses with her and she has grown up into a sweetheart. I am currently unemployed so very flexible to walk and take care of pets! I am out of town some weekends but that is not on consistent schedule currently. I will treat your home as it is my own, and leave it how I found it. I am a massive animal lover that can barely kill a fly! Your pets will be pet and loved while you are away.

About: I treat someone else’s animal as if it were mine. I always ask the owner any specific instructions on the animal’s eating habits, potty habits, and sleeping habits. I always strive to be as respectful and responsible as much as possible because I realize the importance of my being there to provide care and comfort to someone’s animal. I work full-time in a hybrid work setup. I work days and have a set work schedule that affords me breaks throughout the day and the ability to end work relatively early. I also do not work on weekends. In a client’s home, I am very cognizant that I am a guest and that, when entering the home, I must be respectful of everyone, particularly of the animal’s space. Animals are, by nature, very territorial and loyal to their owners. They can see a new human coming in as a threat or just as someone that does not belong in that space. So, I have found that the best thing to do is to first convey to the animal that I am not a threat and then try to establish a bond or connection with the animal.

“Ellen was great with Nala! My hours at work can be really long some days and she went above and beyond during the time she spent with Nala!”

About: Hi I'm Hannah! I grew up on a farm surrounded by 30+ dogs, so caring for pups has always been part of my life. From bottle-feeding newborn puppies to helping shy or energetic dogs thrive, I know how to bring out the best in every pup’s personality. Whether your dog wants to run, play, or just relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—tiny lap pups, playful mediums, and even giant breeds. Along with raising my own two dogs, Jasmine and Freya, I regularly care for my sister’s two chihuahuas and a friend’s pit bull mix, so I’m used to switching gears between different personalities and energy levels. With years of hands-on experience, I can adapt to your dog’s unique needs and routine, giving them both structure and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family, and I promise consistent, reliable, and loving care—treating your pup like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them the care (and belly rubs!) they deserve. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of applying to MBA programs and doing some part-time and gig work, which allows me to shift my time around as needed. That flexibility means I can prioritize pet care. Whether that’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Since my dog Freya doesn’t get along with most other dogs, I’m not able to host pets in my own home. However, my husband works remotely, which gives me the flexibility to stay in your home and care for your pets with ease. When caring for pets, I like to start with a meet-and-greet (and even a walk-through of your pet’s routine if helpful) so I can learn exactly what makes them comfortable. I’ll stick to their schedule as closely as possible, provide regular updates, and always ask questions if something comes up. My goal is to give your pet the best care possible while giving you peace of mind.

“Great communication and very accommodating”

“Allie was amazing, I told her my needs and she absolutely a treat for my dog Gogo on her walks. Very much sold me in becoming a regular client of hers now! Thank you Allie!”

“Kiara was an amazing help walking Gracie and Toby each day! She was highly communicative and easy to work with. She handled both our pups nervous behavior and a stressful interaction with an unleashed neighbor dog. We’ll definitely be asking her back.”

About: I had fur babies of my own. My boys Milo (seven years) and Copper (nine years) are Australian Sheppard mixes. It is like having 2 three year olds running around the house all the time. I am patient with older or younger dogs as well as the hyper ones. I am stern to help with or to help maintain behavioral training. Copper was in Flyball so I understand consistency is key! Big or small I'm a lover of dogs no matter the breed! I do have a part time job but I am to work with most schedules. I am able to accommodate families with more than one dog for an additional charge. I had a small farm in the recent past. I have a base knowledge with all animals. Any other information that is needed or any questions you maybe have please contact me. I am a part time bartender. I have plenty of day time on my hands. I am available for day and late night hours as well. I understand everyhome and every pet has their own rules. I am very disciplined and can make sure those rules are enforced. I can also help implement new rules and routines.

“Michelle was excellent! She walked my two dogs twice in one day and even helped me deal with an unexpected visit from a service technician while she was at my home. She was very responsive and kept me updated on the pups. I highly recommend Michelle and will be booking again!”

About: Hey there! I’m Angie and I just moved to the Columbus area and started my pet sitting services. I had a farm in South Carolina consisting of goats, pigs, all types of birds, rabbits, you name it for over 5 years- I also worked at a dog rescue synonymously for two years. I then moved to Florida where I became a manager for the infamous Doghouse, LLC in St. Pete- a professional dog boarding and training facility (shameless promo). Please note that I am not a trainer! I only handled the boarding business. Needless to say, my experience is extensive. I am comfortable with all varieties of animals to all sizes, however, I am not too familiar with reptiles. I am also comfortable and familiar with medication administration and strict diets. I know how emotionally taxing it is to leave your pet at home for trips or even for the day. It is my mission to ensure your fur baby feels loved, is safe, played with, and the care plan is strictly followed so that you are confident and can move forward in your day with ease. I currently have open availability. I will also be available for all holidays except Christmas and Thanksgiving. I keep my calendar updated on a regular basis to refrain from over booking. I follow the pet’s regular routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, and any medications as directed. I also handle waste cleanup, keep the living space tidy, and give plenty of affection and attention. I make sure to monitor their health and behavior, send updates to the owner, and ensure the home is secure before leaving.
