About: I have lived with 2 golden retrievers since I was born, one male and one female. Both were large dogs and full of energy. I have also looked after neighbor's dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am currently in grad school for physical therapy at Ohio State! I have extra time in the afternoons/evenings and on the weekends, and am looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I am active in my daily life, and love long walks with dogs who need it! I am super attentive to your pet's needs. I have a golden retriever at home, so I know what type of attention they need and am more than happy to give it!

About: Hi, I’m Nina! I’ve been working in the pet industry for over 7 years, and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of pets with different personalities, needs, and medical requirements, and I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines, including pets with special health needs. I also have experience caring for anxious pets and understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are in helping them feel safe and secure. Whether I’m doing walks, drop-in visits, or in-home care, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making their time away from you as stress-free and comforting as possible. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pets! I am available every day and can offer twice a day drop ins providing enough time for meals, medications (if needed), potty breaks and playtimes! You can expect reliability, respect for your home, and consistent updates so you always feel confident while you’re away. I will make sure your pet is safe and happy!

“Lauren was wonderful taking care of my pitty mixes! My youngest is very rambunctious and she was able to handle her well! She was great with communication if she had a question or if there was an issue. She stayed overnight at my home and left everything the same as I left it! I would completely recommend Lauren to stay with your fur baby!”

About: I have several years of trusted pet-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic pit bulls and playful puppies to cats and even chickens. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to giving every animal the same love and attention they get at home. I am working full time. But my schedule is a bit flexible. I work every other Saturday. However I also have every other Wednesday off. Work hours during the week is 9-6 and every other Saturday from 10-5 I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I focus on keeping your home tidy, your pets happy, and their daily habits consistent. My goal is to make their time without you feel safe, calm, and stress-free.

I can’t recommend her enough! She took such amazing care of Bingo while I was away for the weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept me consistently updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear that Bingo was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. She also left my house incredibly clean, neat, and tidy, which I really appreciated. She went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog and your home is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter. She’s the best, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Caleb was amazing with my anxious dog. He's the perfect balance of chill and attentive. I really appreciated the detail and frequency of his updates and was able to fully enjoy my trip in between knowing Wilbur was in good hands. There was a leak under my kitchen sink and Caleb not only went above and beyond to clean up but even diagnosed the issue for me. My house was spotless when I got back. 10/10 experience with Caleb.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our senior dog! He took such great care of her and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was punctual, attentive, and incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout our trip so we always knew how she was doing. It’s not always easy leaving a senior dog, but his patience, reliability, and genuine care made the whole experience so much easier. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and we would absolutely trust him with her again. Highly recommend!
