About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life anywhere from a German Shepard to a Dachshund. I understand the importance of trusting and depending on those who care for your loved ones (because dogs are a part of the family too). I love long walks around the neighborhood and ensuring each dog is cared for specifically tailored to their needs and owners preference. Would love a dog of my own however living vicariously through my clients and supporting them in their care of their animals is the next best thing! Flexible on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the week. Caring for animals is just as much a stress reliever for me as it is for them and their owners. Can’t wait to help! I am flexible in availability and capacity for the client needs. I can be adaptive contingent on environment, medical and ability considerations of the animal(s).

About: When I say I've done it all, I really have! I have cared for my own furry (and not furry) family, including dogs, cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons. I am a current foster parent with a passion to help out those stressed in kennels. I have also taken care of other peoples pets including 20 dogs (yes, at once), cats, fish, horses, sheep, chickens, rabbits and even peacocks! I will never pass up an opportunity for animal kisses and furry loving. I currently work 2nd shift, so my mornings are free while a lot of others are at work! I have pretty bare weekends with room for animal loving! I find it most important to establish a trusting relationship first. Bringing myself to eye level and allowing the animal to calmly and willingly show interest in my presence. I am a big believer in treat motivation and positive word usage.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Columbus who recently stepped away from my corporate career and is preparing for an exciting move to Australia in a couple of months. In the meantime, I’m looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy, caring for and walking dogs. This transition has given me the flexibility to dedicate my full attention to pet care, and I’m committed to making each walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves long, energetic walks or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their routine. Since I recently stepped away from my full-time corporate role, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pet. I structure my days around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get timely walks and any specific care they need. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening visits, I’m able to adapt to your dog’s routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! Whether we’re at your home or out on a walk, I follow your routines and make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I pay close attention to their personality and energy, keep them safe, and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how much fun we’re having together!

“Thea was great with our two pups! She communicated really well and was super prompt. Would totally recommend her / rebook her again for future walks.”

About: I volunteer at animal shelters frequently. I also worked in an animal hospital in the daycare/boarding area. I have experience with puppies and seniors!! I have also worked with shy, outgoing, big, small, and sick animals! I know all about animal behaviors and how to properly take care of them! I am a graduating student at OSU, I will start working in July. My classes are finishing up and I have a lot of free time and no income and I love animals!! I am able to adapt and take care of your animal anywhere. I have a cat, so it is not ideal to keep them in my home but am happy to spend all day with them in yours!

“Sean is absolutely wonderful, and I will definitely be using him again to help with my 175lb great dane. I have never used Rover and was nervous about using it given my dog’s size/needs, but that did not matter for Sean. He is punctual and provides great care regardless of the size! A+ rating from me!”

About: Hello all animal lovers! I'm a lifetime animal lover who wants the best for all animals! I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with young and old dogs and cats. I can adapt to your dog or cats energy level. We can run in the park or snuggle on the couch! I do not have any pet care certifications but I am a caring, compassionate, and responsible animal lover. I cannot have pets in my current housing situation, so I'd love to spend some quality time with yours! I do not have any breed restrictions, though you know your pet best so please let me know if they have aggressive, reactive, or anxious tendencies in any situation. I can also care for chickens, ducks, rabbits, and farm animals. Right now I have a fluctuating work schedule so my days off are pretty random. I usually work 2-4 days a week for up to 8 hours (outside the home). The rest of my time can be dedicated to your pets' needs. ***Beginning May 26, I will be working outside the home Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. If your pets cannot stay home alone that long or have a neighbor check-in, I may not be the best fit. I will listen closely to your specific house routine and follow it exactly. I will be sure to secure your home if I go out for any reason and I always leave everything better than I found it - I would never leave a mess. I will be sure everything is safe and secure for your pets.

“JoVonna has been caring for my pup for several months now and she ALWAYS exceeds expectations. She is so loved by my dog, and by me! For her caring nature, attentiveness, professionalism, etc. JoVonna is just amazing.”

About: I just moved away from my dog-filled home in New York and looking for some much needed pet time! I’ve lived with two dogs my entire life and cared for/dog sat all the dogs in my extended family and for family friends. Since high school I have been hired by families to dog, cat and house sit. From puppies to senior dogs, I have adapted to all ability levels and needs including giving medication and extra walks or runs. I am a neuroscience graduate student with a flexible schedule (not your typical 9-5) and no pets of my own. I currently have class from 8-10 in the morning and no other commitments! As a graduate student I don’t work the typical 9-5 and can make be very flexible with my weekday hours. I have free time in the middle of the day while others might be stuck at work. Happy to work with individual clients based on their needs. My credibility and home has been vetted by local, foster-based group called Purrgatory cat Rescue. I treat my foster kitties with love and care helping them flourish in an inside environment which they have never had to opportunity to know. My unique experience with animals helps me adapt to each individual pet I care for alongside the owner’s knowledge and understanding of their baby. I have all the materials for a kitty at home and a safe neighborhood for walking dogs.

About: I am super friendly and will always cater to a dog’s needs! Especially on walks and when playing, I ensure dogs have all the time they need to sniff or to play until they get tired. I am a graduate student, so I am available during the early mornings and evenings on weekdays and all day on Sundays! I am in class most days, but I do have a car and I am free to visit pups whenever my schedule allows. I care for pets in the way the owner requests the pet be taken care of! However, I will always spoil a dog and give them plenty of belly rubs and love.

“Hunter was great with Sophie, having help with extra walks was huge to us during a busy season.”
