“Another great experience with Samantha! She was very attentive to both kitties, noticed right away that Griffy was feeling a bit off, and even cleaned up his puke-mess on the carpet! Highly recommend her!”


“Sarah is a very caring petsitter and went above and beyond to make sure my pet was well looked after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet. She's the best sitter we've ever had!”


About: I've had my 2 cats and dogs for 12 years and adore them! I make new feline and canine friends easily so I'm happy to sit/walk yours as well! My work schedule is light right now so I have a lot of availability for sittings and walks and have done this a lot for friends. I am open to your specific directions for caring for your animals and am flexible. Write down any specific details and I will follow them. I am trustworthy and have house sat and dog walked for many friends and neighbors! People count on me!

“Brittany was fantastic 😁! She took the time to come for a pre-visit since we had not met before. In addition to feeding our cats, she fed our fish, checked on our chickens and brought in a package that was delivered. She provided daily updates and tried to get pictures even though the kitties didn't cooperate! I really appreciate her care for our pets while we were gone. This is my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. I would recommend Brittany and I will definitely request her again if we have another need in the future.”

“Highly recommend Debbie! She was so good with our pup. She posted pictures every visit so we could see her while we were gone. She was very quick on responding and a great communicator. We will definitely be using her again!”


About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family.

Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me.

I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“Andi did a great job taking care of our cats for a week. The daily updates and photos were a comfort, and she went above and beyond by sweeping up the litter the cats kept kicking out of the box.”


“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”


About: Hello! I was raised on a farm with every animal you could think of. I've always had a big love for animals. I have had years of experience not only caring for animals on the farm, but I've also worked at a vets office and have done dog grooming/boarding. I also have dogs that I love competing with and showing at UKC events. Thanks for viewing my profile and I look forward to taking care of your baby/babies! My availability is pretty wide open! I'm at home most all of the time :) Holidays and weekends are no problem, as well as mornings/evenings. Your fur babies can roam free around the house all they'd like. I have several XL crates if that is preferred. I also have baby gates if a confined room is needed. For outside potty breaks, I have a yard & I have a wrap around deck that is gated, whatever your pets preference is. For cats I have a litter box.

About: I've had a pet dog for as long as I can remember. My parents taught me the value of having a happy, healthy companion and instilled a love of pets and pet care that will last a lifetime. I've interacted with a variety of dogs over the years, both in my house and in friends' houses, from small Pomeranians to medium Beagles to large Black Labs and Great Danes. I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who I've had since he was 6 weeks old, so your puppy will be comfortable with me! I know that trusting me with your pet is trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that honor very seriously. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I currently work part time sporadically throughout the day, so I have plenty of opportunities to visit your pet during the day. I also have full availability in the evenings and at night, so overnight visits are not an issue. As I mentioned, I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who would love to keep your pet company! I live in a quiet neighborhood a short drive away from Clinton Dog Park, so on nice days, we can take a trip to the park and run around there as well.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for several years now from having my own pets to volunteering at our local animal shelter giving baths, play time and training. I have a huge passion for making all animal feel loved and safe! My husband and I run a cleaning and home service company with 2 employees and we are so lucky to have a super flexible schedule with a lot of time off! All animals deserve to feel loved and wanted and that’s what I strive for. I love giving all the pets and belly rubs and making sure your animal feels all the affection they deserve!

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life. Dogs are furry bundles of unconditional love, and they’ve always brought me a lot of joy. My first dog was a German Shepherd named Duchess. I was 5, and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I’m semi-retired and living my dream life at the campground here in Columbus. I’m a mental health counselor, singer/songwriter and musician, and occasionally a radio personality doing both music and talk radio shows, so my schedule is completely flexible. I’ve also been a rideshare driver for 7+ years. I’m available any hour. I need to be gone 3-4 hours during the day to take care of my personal business. I CAN’T WALK DOGS because I have a bad back and bad knee. All of my families have had fenced yards so it hasn’t been an issue. Also SMOKE FREE homes only. I will follow the owner’s wishes as to how they want their dogs cared for in their home. Having detailed written instructions helps me do this. Non-smoking homes only.

“Megan did a fantastic job checking in our cat once/day and watering our outdoor plants. She was punctual, sent us pictures and kept the cat areas tidy. I will definitely call on her again! ?”


“Anna was just great with Eli, committed, punctual and caring. What I saw with Anna is that she truly loves and cares for animals. They ensured to leave the closet light on so that my kitty would have a light source at night. I saw them carry my kitty around and enjoying their playtime with Eli, in addition to sending me updates and pictures of my kitty. Overall GREAT.”

Marisa H.
“Marisa adopted a puppy two years ago, and I have watched her develop into a fantastic dog mom these past two years. Marisa demonstrates extraordinary patience, love, and commitment to not only her dog, but all animals she meets. The first thing she does when she comes home is greet her dog, Cow, with the biggest smile. She always has time to give him plenty of love and attention. Cow has lots of special needs due to allergies, and Marisa is amazing at being accommodating and caring for anything he requires. I promise that if you hire Marisa to care for your furry friends you can expect her to provide the same level of love, attention, and care to your pets as she gives her own. I would trust her in a heartbeat to watch over my own pet, and I can guarantee you will feel the same way. Book Marisa while you can!”
