Melanie was a life saver to end and just one of the kindest people to know! I recently moved to Columbus and got a new puppy. I had a doctor appt to attend, with no one I knew to watch my puppy. She helped me at a moments notice, made time to meet with me and my puppy. She arrived early (which helped me finish getting ready) and was able to stay until I made it home. She walked Millie, played with her and even helped me to teach her tricks. I cannot recommend Melanie enough and will absolutely be seeking her out again. Thank you so much!!

This was our second time hiring Thea to look after our two one-year old cats while we were traveling in Europe for 10 day. Not only did she do everything necessary to take care of their daily needs, she also shared regular and detailed updates with plenty of photos to make sure we stayed informed and could relax on our trip. Above all, we knew we could trust Thea to do an amazing job taking care of our kittens while we were gone. If you are looking for a reliable, communicative, and trustworthy pet sitter, you have found her. Thea, again, thank you so much for your help taking care of P & J. They already miss you! :)

Grace is the best cat sitter I could have asked for - she is dependable, responsible, and loving. Grace cared for my cat Lily like she was her own and always sent me prompt updates regarding how she was doing. I always felt comfortable leaving Lily in Grace's care. I would recommend Grace to anyone!

Christine is such a kind, caring sitter. She has been so patient with my dog that is slow to warm up to people. She's gone above and beyond to play fetch with Boo and become her friend. Your dogs would have such a blast boarding with Christine!

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!

If you’re looking for an experienced, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter/walker, Jordan is your girl! She has taken exceptional care of my dog multiple times now over the years. My dog is obsessed and gets SO excited every time I tell her Jordan is coming over (zoomies, running to the door & windows looking for her.) They have gone on countless walkies, hikes, brewery dates, sleepovers, etc. Cannot say enough good things about Jordan! I know it can be stressful trying to find a good, trustworthy dog sitter; Jordan makes things easy and I never worry when she’s taking care of my golden girl. Thanks Jordan!!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Mari for daily visits with my cat, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mari was reliable and trustworthy, she followed all instructions meticulously, and I received timely photo updates during my trip. Knowing my cat was well looked after allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I highly recommend Mari to any cat owner seeking a responsible, and knowledgeable cat sitter.

Kristen has watched our two energetic dogs several times, and they both love hanging out with her. She takes them on great walks, gives them all the pets the need (and want). And takes great care of the house when we are gone. Gone are the days of the dogs going to overnight boarding, we only use Kristen.

She is so nice and friendly. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to actual day of drop in and that made me feel secured and safe. She got along with both my dogs. She took care of them really well. I would def use her again if I need a dog sitter.

I foster for local rescue groups and often have my dogs for many months. Needless to say, these guys are truly part of the family and I'm crazy careful about who I approve for adopting. Two of my longest fosters have gone to Erica! The first was overlooked for almost a year because he is older and doesn't look like anything special--Erica not only recognized his beauty immediately, but she has been able to help him regain his health and vitality. The second was a street dog who we didn't know was pregnant. Erica and her husband waited 3 months, coming to visit her and her puppies, until Lili was ready to go home. Thee are two of the happiest, well cared for, well loved dogs you'll ever meet. Anyone would be lucky to have their animals in Erica's care--I am forever grateful to her!
