Pet Sitting South Side

“Lauren was wonderful to my kitties and took great care and update pictures that put my worry at ease while I was away. Highly recommend her!!! She even left a little card and some chocolates which was the sweetest surprise to see upon returning. She is highly responsive and responsible.”

“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”

“It was so nice to be able to enjoy a day out and know that my dog was taken care of just how I would! He got a nice walk, dinner, play time, and I received plenty of pictures. I really appreciate how kind and great at communicating Taylor is and would definitely have her look after my dog again!”

Ava F.

“Deb was amazing with our pups! This was their first time with a new sitter and immediately fell in love. Deb sent detailed updates every day and spent a little extra time with them when one was not feeling well. She even cleaned up some poopy accidents! (Sorry again for that additional unexpected work!). Will definitely be booking her again. My dogs would be very upset if I didn't!”

Aisha W.

“Ioana is amazing and so reliable! She has been sitting for me and my cat Stevie on and off for a year now and she has done an amazing job. Highly recommend!”

Katherine D.

“Heather is amazing !!! our dog Carlos was a happy boy when we got home we got updates throughout the whole process. We will definitely be using Heather again.”

“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

Mara B.

“Cody was exactly as I expected. He bonded right away with my pups and they seemed to feel the same way. Highly recommend.”

Shane F.

“Jackson was a wonderful sitter. He gave me updates and I would definitely have him watch my fur baby again”

About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember, with over 13 years of hands-on experience covering walks, cuddles, vet visits, and everything in between. I recently lost my beloved pup to cancer, so I know firsthand what it means to love a dog deeply and care for them through every stage of life. I'm experienced with senior dogs and administering medication, and welcome large breeds . My partner Max is also home to help, so your pup is always in good hands. I only host one household at a time and am committed to giving your dog my full attention. Right now we have a pet-free home and will give your pup gets all of our attention. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive. Fri-Mon there is someone home at all times, so potty breaks can be kept to whatever schedule your dog requires. We don't often host midweek, but if we do, Tue-Thu we are able to limit alone time to approximately 4-5 hrs. I have a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks, and will be present with you dog as long as they are outside (no leaving them alone despite the fence). Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I'll stick to whatever routine works best for your pet, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. I'm experienced with senior dogs and large breeds, and I'm happy to share regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: Hi! I’m Tracy — a lifelong animal lover with a Masters and PhD in environmental policy from The Ohio State University. My background reflects how deeply I care about the well-being of all creatures, great and small. Caring for pets isn’t a side gig for me; it’s something that’s been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with three wonderful dogs of various sizes, and as an adult I’ve had a large dog of my own, two small dogs, and a cat. One of my pups was adopted from a shelter, two came to me from foster parents, and my cat was a stray who chose our home — so I’m very comfortable with pets who have unique personalities, histories, or special needs. I’m gentle, patient, and very responsible. Whether your pet needs a long walk, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. You can expect great communication, attention to detail, and a genuine love for your furry family member. I would be honored to earn your trust and care for your pets like they’re my own. 💛🐶🐾 I'm currently a home-maker, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pet's needs. I have openings 7 days a week, mornings, afternoons and evenings. I prefer to come to your home to tend to your pet. I do have a fenced in yard for my dogs, but my terrier mix can be a little bossy. I'm always open to having your pet meet my terrier though if you'd like your fur baby to stay for a visit at our house.

“Victoria was so great with our two anxious pups! She was calm, friendly and we loved receiving plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. We can’t wait to use Victoria again in the future!”

Katie D.

“Abby was wonderful in staying in touch and updating me on my pets. I loved seeing the pictures of them from each visit. She was great at communicating and put the well being of the kitties at the forefront of the visit. Overall am very pleased with her service and would use her again in the future.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered and cared for cats, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care and behavior. Professionally, I’ve worked in a dog daycare, pet store, and boarding environment, and have spent the past two years working at an animal shelter. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and small mammals. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience working with canines who have behavioral challenges such as stranger danger, reactivity, and resource guarding. I am trained in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Cats are also a particular passion of mine. In addition to caring for social cats, I have experience socializing feral and semi-feral cats and working with shy or nervous kitties who need extra patience and understanding. I am also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for multi-pet households. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work at an animal shelter Wednesday through Saturday. Because of this, I am primarily available Sundays through Tuesdays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services. I may have drop in availability the other days after 7 pm. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and will always communicate clearly about scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and respectful presence nearby, I am happy to meet them where they are. I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions, especially with nervous or shy pets. Communication is extremely important to me. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs and once I started my own family, over the years we welcomed three dogs and two cats into the mix. With my kids having flown the coop, I have time, energy, and lots of love to give! For three weeks in July, I will be living at our home in Columbus, Oh and be available for drop-in visits and dog walks. Eventually, we will be living here full time and I would love to have some Ohio puppy friends:-) During the school year, we live in Alexandria, VA and I coach a variety of sports throughout the school year which keeps me busy later in the early afternoon and early evenings for a few hours during the week. The rest of the day, my time is my own and I'm available for walks, and hangouts with all the fur babies. I am extremely organized and responsible. Rest assured that any animals in my care will be treated with the all the love, care and dignity that they deserve.

“Vanessa took a last min booking and made a stressful situation with our injured kitten when we couldn’t be home not so stressful. She gave her meds and gave us peace of mind. Vanessa even provided helpful advice and tips and offered to pick up supplies for us. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again”

“Ellie did a great job taking care of my cats while we were on vacation! Always sent pictures when they came out to investigate! Would book again!!!”

About: I’ve been raised with animals my whole life! I have had various cats, fish, dogs and, even a hedgehog over the years. I was also responsible for walking the two family dogs. I’ve pet sat several times for family friends in the past. I love cats and dogs, (of any size) and have true compassion for any animal I meet, as if they were my own pet. Let me know if you have any questions! I work Monday-Friday, 9-5. I am flexible to stop by early mornings, after work, and on the weekends! I’m happy to work with you to determine the best schedule that fits your pets needs. If I am in your home to complete a service the utmost caution would be exercised to respect your space while caring for your furry friend!

“Kelly was super responsive when I had to cancel a day last minute and thankfully fed the stray that’s been on our porch! Will use her again! Thankful to her for sure!”

“Merri was so fantastic to coordinate and communicate with, and I'm sure Yuka loved her visits because he got to go outside! Merri is trustworthy and I appreciate the effort into doing a meet and greet to familiarize herself with Yuka.”
