Sarah is awesome! She was great at communicating, providing daily updates and pics of our pups. I could tell from the pics that the dogs took a quick liking to her and when we got home they were happy and relaxed. Couldn’t ask for anything more! She’ll definitely be our go-to dog sitter from now on!

About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs from puppy to senior, as my parents both had dogs of their own and raised puppies. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds from my time volunteering at the Fairfield Humane Society and have spent time pet sitting for many of my neighbors. I work remotely part time, so I set my own hours. This gives me ample time to spend with your best friend while you work or have other commitments to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have a fenced in backyard and am willing to cater my care to your dogs preferences from walk time to crate time and everything in between.

Megan stayed with my two high energy, sensitive coonhounds for 6 days while I was out of town. She was a great communicator and took great care of my dogs and my house. I would confidently recommend her to anyone and I hope I get to work with her again in the future!

Patty did an outstanding job sitting with my dogs! It was my first time to leave them since moving to Columbus, but there was no need for concern. She was fantastic with them. Definitely will keep her in mind for the future!

Ioana was amazing w my senior, diabetic pup. Before the sitting, she came over to shadow his routine and needs. She sent daily updates and pics of my baby, easing my mind when I was away.

Melanie is excellent - super communicative and attentive! She sent tons of update pics while we were gone and was on top of everything. My favorite is that she described my dog as a “lovey little meatball” and that is now my go-to description of him! It’s so apt. We will definitely use her again.

Merri is absolutely amazing! My 13 year old yorkie, Noel, had a kidney removed. I’m a nurse, so I work 12 hour shifts. I was so nervous to leave her at home and go back to work after the surgery. However, Merri was great with her and made me feel so much better about going back to work. It all started when she came over for the meet and greet and took careful notes. I could tell she genuinely cared about her and making sure she was comfortable. She stayed with Noel my entire work day, and took her potty and on short walks very frequently. She provided her lots of cuddles and love, and even made sure she had her sweatshirt on and blankets to curl up in. She administered her medications and checked her stitches to make sure they looked good. I received updates multiple times a day. I highly recommend Merri to anyone. She will take excellent care of your babies!

A heartfelt thank you to Kiara for the peace of mind she gave us during our wedding week. It's a funny thing to say, but I didn't worry about our dogs even once while we were away—and that’s saying a lot considering how much they mean to us! It's just that Kiara made us feel so assured from the start. Our two meet-and-greets really set the stage for a worry-free departure and her fur baby, Wednesday, was the perfect buddy for our pups. Even with two out of our three dogs requiring nightly medication, and one of our Newfoundlands having a whole array of allergy treatments, Kiara handled it all without a hitch. We got the sweetest pictures every day, and it was obvious our dogs were having the time of their lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Kiara to any pet parent. She's a great pick for anyone who wants their pets to receive the best care and oodles of snuggles!

Elyza was fantastic with my dog Cholula while I was out of town! She was communicative, friendly and left my apartment in great condition while watching Cholula. She was transparent during our scheduling and took note of all of Cholula’s quirks to ensure I felt as comfortable as possible while I was out of town. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you’re looking to have someone watch your pet while away!

Bailey did an amazing job taking care of Ziti and our home. I could tell from the meet and greet she was great with animals and asked great questions about both our dog and home to ensure she took great care of both. During her stay she checked in a few times a day and provided me with pictures which made me feel so much better!! I would definitely recommend her and plan to use again!

If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like their own, Max is the perfect choice! He has a natural way with animals and truly enjoys spending time with them. Whether that is going for long walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. Max is responsible, reliable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’ve seen firsthand how much dogs love being around him, and I know any pup in his care will be in the best hands. Whether you need a regular walker or a trustworthy sitter while you're away, Max is someone you can count on. I would highly recommend Max!
