“Breslin had a great time and was very tired afterwards. She also updated me throughout the day and made time to fit him into her schedule somewhat last minute. Will leave Breslin with her again if needed ?”

About: Growing up on a farm taught me to care for all animals with gentleness and respect. I have eperience training our puppy who is now 3 years old. I am all about rewards for positive behavior! I work remotely as an artist and I am a stay at home mom! My week days are very flexible since I make my own schedule. I am available Monday-Saturday anytime from 8-5, unless otherwise noted. I play interactive games with our dog and love taking her on long walks. Fun exercise is so good for dogs! I will do the same for your pups as I do my own.

“Michelle was AMAZING! We have a 3 month old puppy and she was truly incredible with him. We got tons of updates and lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend using Michelle to watch your fur baby - I will definitely be using her again!”

“Dexter had a good time as usual with Sydney and of course she provided plenty of pics and videos during the day. So glad we found a place where Dexter is so comfortable. Definitely will be having her watch him again.”

“Simon was amazing with Hazel! He kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. Hazel came home worn out from all the fun she had at Simon’s. We’re incredibly grateful for his patience, especially since Hazel is still learning her manners after we adopted her from the shelter a few months ago. Simon even went the extra mile by helping teach her commands. He’s been wonderful, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him for care again in the future.”

“Zi and Atti ( mini Aussie's) are now repeaters with Kaleigh and Conner. Both our puppies love them and their 2 mini Bichon's. They have a enclosed back yard which makes us feel super secure for their safety. Kaleigh and Conner take fantastic care of our babies, in which we are grateful. Extra bonus.... they love playing and socializing with their 2 doggies too. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I’m Amy, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Riley, a sweet and sensitive 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. I’m from the DC area, lived in NYC and Philly after college, and moved to Columbus in fall of 2024 with my partner Jake. We live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house on the border of Victorian Village and Harrison West. We both work from home and have a fenced backyard, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup is playful or prefers alone time, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved. One of the reasons I started doing Rover is because I wanted to find friends for Riley to spend time with during the day. He enjoys playing with dogs who are around his size (30lb) or smaller. I’m excited to meet your pup and would love to set up a meet-and-greet to learn all about their unique personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home the majority of the day, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and I follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel at ease.

“Ginny always has a great time at Sean’s house. He’s very attentive and has plenty of very good dog friends for Ginny to hang out with. Nice big yard for her to run around in when the weather is nice. Well definitely book with Sean again.”

“I felt great leaving Baxter with Katie. She sent photos and messages through the day. And Baxter didn’t seem anxious at all when I picked him up.”

About: I started fostering dogs back during COVID to help them find a their furever family, and now I want to help dog families, like my own, continue the getting care they need to where they feel safe when their owners are away. :) I am constantly taking care of my dog son Kobe, who I also fostered through the system way back when. He, as well as fostering other dogs, has given the experience I need to take care of your family too. I am familiar with dogs with anxiety, dogs with allergies, dogs that need medication and/or a little extra attention. Everyone needs love no matter what type of care, and I believe I can be like your friendly neighbor giving your furever family the care they need along with the safety and comfortability like a neighbor or friend. :) I have a fenced yard for your pet to run around, and also extra room space in case they need time to themselves. I can also take your dog on walks at a nearby park/rec center to get their extra energy out when needed.

“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”

“Sophie was amazing. She accepted a last-minute booking, took excellent care of my shy little pup, and gave me updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

“My dog Luka had a great day hanging out with Kiara, he came home and immediately laid down for a nap. Kiara sent me pictures, videos and updates throughout the day which I loved! She was very sweet and I definitely will book with her again!”

About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it! I walked dogs that ranged from 1-16 years of age, and administered oral medication and provided insulin to diabetic dogs. I have also fostered dogs four separate times, ages ranging from 1-6 years. I have 4 years of exotic animal care experience as well! I work from home full time on a very flexible schedule. I can move my daily plans around to fit your needs, and will update my availability to include changes ASAP. There is one other dog and one cat in the home. My partner is experienced in animal husbandry and loves pets just as much as me. We are sure to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention! I can take furry friends on extra walks or runs if requested, and I can send you pictures throughout your pets' stay!

“Megan did such an amazing job! I appreciated all of her communication and photos so much. Her assessment she gives in the beginning shows how knowledgeable she is and how much she cares. We will be back!”

About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and many other animals. I have had six dogs and trained all of them to walk and do certain tricks, and did the 4-H dog program as a pre-teen, as well as four cats. I have worked with various different sizes and breeds of dogs and love them all equally. I work full-time from home, so am quite flexible with scheduling and your pups won’t be wanting for anything while visiting! I currently have two dogs of my own. The oldest is a 7 year old rescue from Thailand who is a sweetheart and would spend every second of every day getting belly rubs and sun bathing. The younger one is a 2 year old mutt I adopted 1 year ago from a rescue in VA, who is timid around other dogs at first and then loves to play with any and all ages/sizes. I am very well-practiced in taking care of dogs with medical or physical difficulties (e.g., mobility issues, skin issues, giving medications, wound dressing). I work fully remote from home so I am around all the time to ensure your pets get what they need - they won’t want for anything! I have a fenced in yard, two dogs to keep your pups company, and am able to crate your dog(s) if needed. I am around always and keep a watchful eye to ensure the safety of all pups.

About: Life long all animal charmer and lover. I am good as pack leader while also allowing your animal all the freedom and fun within safety standards. Safety first, then teamwork 😊 I am sure fitting your dog into my routine would be lovely if they situation is right. I am flexible and would be accommodating to pet/owners needs without problem. Early morning or afternoon is best 😊 Nothing is more important to me than your pets safety while in my care. I can provide a stable, loving environment away from home for your pet.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Through this I have become an expert in fetch, tug of war and ear scratches. I love running, walking and being outside- I can’t wait to tire your pup out! I currently work from home and am in sales so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to give your dog love at all times of the day. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard and one street away from the park to play fetch. My neighborhood had ample walking area to tire your pup out so there is no shortage of new walking routes.

About: From my experience growing up on a farm to caring for two dogs and a cat as a young professional, I've developed quite a bit of pet care knowledge and skills. I've cared for puppies and kittens and adult dogs and cat through good times and hard times. Over the years, I've learned a lot and I'm happy to use that experience to care for your's as well. My wife and I both work from home during the week so we have plenty of time for pet care. When our dog Frank was around, we would often go on walks with him and my daughter and visit local parks. Unfortunately, we don't have time to care for puppies or kittens at this stage in life but adult dogs and cats are welcome. We live in downtown Columbus in a single family home with a large fenced yard. We're surrounded by lots of sidewalks and live within walking distance to several parks. In our home, we have a large soft crate for dogs and small crates for cats, if needed. We expect all pets to be potty/house trained and dogs to sleep in a crate overnight. We don't allow dogs on furniture or in beds, but they're welcome throughout the home. Our cat, Cleo, roams the house but will often stay on the 2nd floor when new pet friends stay over. She has been great with new cats and dogs, often warming up to them after a day or two. We also have a 2.5 year old daughter who is home most of the week. She's great with cats and dogs and we expect any pets that stay with us to be comfortable with children.
