Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!

Dylan dog sat our two senior dogs for 9 days. He was incredibly communicative and quick to respond. He gave daily walks, and successfully gave meds. We felt comfortable with him in our home, the dogs loved him, and we’ll definitely use him again!

My dogs were so happy when we came home and that tells me everything I need to know about her. She’s the best!

Downtown, Columbus, OH, 43215

About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!

University, Columbus, OH, 43201

About: I have had at least a decade of experience with dogs, cats, and many other animals. I have dogsat, dogwalked, and worked as a veterinary technician's assistant in the past. I am graduating with my bachelor's in animal science from the Ohio State University this May, and I will be continuing my education at Ohio State's College of Veterinary Medicine. I have plenty of experience handling dogs and cats of all health, dietary, and temperament needs. I am currently available at most times! I prefer to work on weekdays rather than weekends, but both are fine. I would rather work in the afternoon but mornings work as well. I can feed, give water, play with, walk, pet, give medicine, pick up after, and basically take care of the animal as much as possible. I will sleep over if needed and can come over for potty breaks. I am a short female, so I may not be able to walk a big dog if it runs/pulls a lot.

About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m going to be a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of neighborhood my next door neighbor’s dog. She loved me so much that she referred me to a few other people within the neighborhood. They relied on me to walk, feed, give medications, among other responsibilities. I never had the opportunity to have my own furry friend, so I loved dedicating my time to helping others with theirs :) I’m a first year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! I’m currently in my last summer between first and second year so I’m available most of the time! I love pets and love being active, so walking dogs definitely is within my ballpark (no pun intended). If your pet loves to have someone keeping them company I’m the same way!

Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️

Kristen was reliable and incredibly caring towards our beloved lab. She walked him multiple times a day throughout the week and kept us updated on how he was doing. We loved the photos and videos she sent. She made sure she was with him for most of the day and we really appreciated that. She was also responsible with his food and medicine. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you again Kristen for allowing us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about pup!

Sheridan is a great sitter. And Gracie loves her too. Sheridan has stayed multiple times to take care of her and this time Gracie accidentally stepped on a bee. Sheridan was able to get the stinger out of her foot and call me to talk through getting her Benadryl. She made sure she was okay before she left and even followed up the next day to make sure she was okay. So thoughtful and caring!
